Episode Overview

In this episode, Jeff and Chip tackle what they see as the real story behind Ripple’s recent moves—not just the XRP price action, but Ripple's acquisition of Palisade and its broader implications. They zoom out to look at the evolving infrastructure of digital assets, big developments across the XRPL ecosystem (including Flare’s Robinhood integration), institutional custody, tokenization, and how these trends are laying the groundwork for the “next phase” in blockchain and crypto—even as market narratives obsess over price.

The pair also dive into broader topics like the politicization of crypto regulation, election integrity controversies, EU politics, and trends in global immigration policy, all punctuated with their signature candid banter and listener engagement.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ripple's Acquisition of Palisade: Institutional Infrastructure Comes to XRPL

• Ripple quietly acquired Palisade, a wallet solution designed for enterprise compliance and control.
  • Unlike standard wallets (which only enable holding and transferring assets), Palisade offers fine-grained governance, policy enforcement, transaction controls, and sophisticated compliance features.
  • Quotable: "Palisade moves beyond just deposits/withdrawals to function like an orchestration wallet." – Chip [06:37]
  • Used in K Bank (Korea) pilot with Ripple—banks needed wallets that could handle strict requirements (key management, AML, OFAC).
  • Palisade enables XRPL payments, authorized trust lines, escrows, and even AMM deposits—making it more than just custody.
  • "It’s a big deal for institutional policy control and transactions." – Chip [03:52]
  • Main message: Ripple isn't just focused on XRP or price action; it's building out compliant, institutional-ready infrastructure.

2. XRPL Grants and Ecosystem Growth

• Discussion of XRPL Grants Wave 9: $2M distributed across 26 projects in 11 countries, covering DeFi, AI, RWA tokenization, and infrastructure tooling.
• "Wave 9 funded 26 projects… focusing on defi AI payments, RWA tokenization infrastructure and development tooling." – Jeff [07:29]

3. Flare Network’s Robinhood Integration

• Robinhood adds assets including Flare (FLR), dramatically increasing exposure and accessibility.
• Flare Network’s unique XRPL integration highlighted by founder Hugo:
  • FXRP can mint XRP directly on exchanges without typical KYC/centralization hurdles, opening the door for scalable DeFi use cases.
  • "No competing XRP product can do that because they all have a degree of centralization that Flare doesn't have.” – Hugo [12:17]
  • "In terms of user making it easier for the user. All we do is try to break down those barriers. That's why we've created Flare smart account." – Hugo [12:42]

4. AI vs. Crypto: Ongoing Debate

• Brief references to the intersection and tension between AI and crypto spaces.
  • "If we wanted to make it interesting, Jeff, we'd probably have AI because that's the only thing that's interesting going on." – Chip [10:32]

5. Regulatory & Political Environment

• BitGo CEO Mike Belshe laments the politicization of crypto regulation:
  • Quotes:
    • "I think one of the problems is that we have gotten into a world where digital assets are a little bit political." – Mike Belshe [15:12]
    • Repeatedly avoids directly naming entrenched banking or political actors responsible for regulatory gridlock.
  • Hosts' criticism:
    • "He dances around it... Why doesn’t he just say the answer: banks/lobbyists are mucking it up?" – Chip [16:45]
• Rebecca Redig (legal perspective) on the importance of the Clarity Act:
  • It would be the first law globally to directly address DeFi—even EU’s MiCA doesn’t touch it.
  • "If it passes, it will be the only piece of legislation in the entire world that touches DeFi, period." – Redig [17:20]
  • Hosts doubt that DeFi protection will survive the legislative process, suspecting entrenched interests (banks) will dilute it.

6. Institutional/Banking Yield and Payment Settlement

• Hosts explain why banks care about stablecoin yield: previously leveraged slow settlement for short-term profits; instant crypto settlement changes the dynamic.
  • "Imagine you can move something instantly—before, they were making short-term yield because settlement took days." – Jeff [18:21]

7. Elections, Politics, and Media: US & EU

• Extended conversation about election integrity (with direct citation of a Trump interview that devolved into accusations of media complicity and bias).
• Three media “traps” for Trump interviews, summarized from Ed Winslow’s tweet:
  1. Press Trump for evidence—Trump calls it crooked, walks off, goes viral
  2. Don't challenge—validate Trump's frame
  3. Refuse interview—lose access, narrative, audience
• Hosts are critical of both media and political establishment, seeing manipulation and lack of transparency in both US and European politics.

8. European & Global Politics

• Germany & AfD: Possible EU exit, criticism of EU policies, and the importance of national sovereignty.
• Open borders, currency debates, cultural identity—hosts view the EU’s erosion of individual nation-states critically.
• Immigration/assimilation: Spotlight on Sweden’s newly tightened rules for citizenship (longer residency, self-sufficiency, language/cultural tests, no criminal record).
  • "If you don't assimilate, if you don't learn Swedish, if you don't understand the society, if you don't understand the culture, you're gone." – Chip [64:44]
• Trend: Stop signs in Europe being “remixed” with “Stop Immigration” stickers as a sign of local grassroots pushback.

9. XRPL Node Documentation Initiative

• Update on XRPL node documentation: interviews with operators reveal ample room for improvement, but also progress.
• "Documentation is never finished." – Jeff [28:23]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Ripple & Palisade:

• "What if the biggest story isn't XRP itself? What if the biggest story is what Ripple just bought?" – Jeff [00:02]
• "Palisade offers policy governance, signing layer ... a big deal for institutional policy control transactions and built for institutions." – Chip [03:52]

Flare & Robinhood:

• "Flare can mint XRP directly on exchanges... removes KYC and centralization friction." – Hugo (Flare) [12:17]

Regulation:

• "Retail should be allowed to get interest on their money. The idea that they shouldn’t is insane." – Mike Belshe [14:35]
• "I think one of the problems is that we have gotten into a world where digital assets are a little bit political." – Mike Belshe [15:12]
• "These are just tools... It’s not political. But unfortunately, it hasn’t always been that way." – Mike Belshe [16:12]

• "You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands... Your network knows that they're rigged." – Donald Trump [33:37]
• "There is no clean exit. Trump controls the frame, the clip, the story." – Quoting Ed Winslow summarizing the symbiotic Trump-media drama [37:53]

Europe & Migration:

• "You need eight years of residence instead of five, be self sufficient, Swedish language and society exam. Don’t learn Swedish, not assimilating—see you later." – Chip on Sweden’s rules [64:44]
• "Stop immigration" stickers on street signs—grassroots sentiment sweeping Europe [57:33]

Community Engagement:

• Frequent shout-outs to audience comments, recognition of global listeners.

Transcript

[Jeff]

Hey, tonight we're going to talk about a story that I think most people might be missing out on. It's kind of important while everybody's watching the XRP price plummet and then bounce back because it bounced back maybe like 5%, as did the rest of the market. But everybody's really been waiting for the next big headline, right? Everyone's looking out for the next big catalyst. When is it going to come? Is it around the next corner? When is this gonna moon? But what if the biggest story actually isn't XRP itself? What if the biggest story is what Ripple just bought? What Ripple's been buying?

[Chip]

Right?

[Jeff]

And then they just bought something that we're going to talk about.

[Chip]

Well, recently. I mean, it's not real new new, but it has a lot of ramifications if you start looking underneath and start thinking about why it's happening and then what's going on. With Flare, xrp, fi, institutional custody, we got tokenization. You know, AI, the infrastructure is being built around digital assets in a very different picture. When you start looking at them all and combining, you go like, oh, I see what's going on here. The picture suggests that the next phase might actually be underway, regardless what we see with the price. And if that's true, most people are still looking in the wrong direction, but that's how it usually works.

[Jeff]

Jeff, know which direction to look in. But tonight we're going to break it all down because there are some major developments happening across the XRP ecosystem. This is where things really get exciting. And I think by the end of the show, you're going to see why these stories matter far more than what most people are really giving it credit for. Ready to kick this thing off?

[Chip]

I'm ready. Let's do it.

[Host/Announcer]

Welcome to on the Chain.

[Jeff]

Welcome to on the Chain. I'm Jeff here with co host Chip. What's going on? Chip, what's going on? Otc. You know who you are. Now, if you're excited about xrp. Ripple, Flare, XRP Phi, the RLUSD tokenization, and drum roll. The future of digital assets. That's right. Make sure you smash that, like, button. Subscribe to the channel and help us get OTC to the moon.

[Chip]

To the moon.

[Jeff]

We're not going to Mars. It's too far.

[Chip]

Yeah, we got another pack show and we'll. I'll say this. Maybe we'll end early, but it never happens. Maybe we'll end later. Seems like it always happens. Ripple's acquisition of Palisades has people asking questions. Flair just expanded Its reach with Robin Hood. How cool is that? The AI versus crypto debates heating up. That's constantly going on. And we got new developments from the XRPL ecosystem. We're going to connect all these stories together because that's what they do. They're all connected in some way, shape or form. Different ecosystems. They all end up at the same place.

[Jeff]

That's right. And they're definitely not random at all. There's pieces of this puzzle just much larger than what we want to think about. So, Chip, if you're ready to kick this thing off.

[Chip]

Where.

[Jeff]

Where are we starting tonight?

[Chip]

What are we kicking off with? Crypto Vendetta. Visual vendetta. Here we go. OTC has the best graphics and music, all the crypto channels, and that's no lie. We'll kick it off right there. Beautiful. Love to hear that. We've been slacking a little bit in that category with the music, but we'll come back in a hurry. Made the live art on the lake. All right.

[Jeff]

Right.

[Chip]

I was talking about art earlier today to a friend, and he'll know what that's about. Has to do with the patches. Has to do with the patches. And I'm wearing mine right now.

[Jeff]

If it ain't Delusional Duo. Thanks, Mike.

[Chip]

We're delusional. Jeez. We're either boring or delusional. Us and our delusions of grandeur. Man. We. I like delusional. Feel better that. Say it again.

[Jeff]

Boys are delusional.

[Chip]

Hell yeah, we are. We're delusional. We're delusional. Delusion. Visions of grandeur. I love that. I love Delusional Duo. That's. That has the best ring of all, Jeff. I don't think anyone's had that sharp of a ring. We're delusional and we're boring. That's what people say. That's what some say. Look at this. Our pal Wrath of Conman. Wrath of Conman. Says another wallet. Why Ripple really brought Palisade? Because banks don't want to use more compliance burden. Huh? The K Bank pilot with Ripple is the tell. Palisade offers policy governance, signing layer. And there it is. So there's the other walls. Let's kind of take a look at this. And this will give you some introspective of what's going on. Because this was kind of a quiet acquisition, Jeff. It was like Bob Paula side. I was like, there's like, no big deal going on with it. And then. So if you look at the other wallets, you basically hold and Send assets, you can move tokens, basic approval approvals and you have limited control. However Palisade now by Ripple what used to be independent, they've acquired it. You can govern financial activity. You control what who can do what. You can set limits and approvals, you can enforce compliance rules. Big deal for institutional policy control transactions and built for institutions. So that right there is a big one. And I love how he broke this one down. Love rappel Wrath of Conman. He said K Bank's first Ripple test used its own in house wallet and then move to Palisade. So K Bank says the wallet must handle key management, aml, OFAC and international security certification. That means more than just custody. Palisade is demonstrating a compliant control layer in the well and the in the wallet. So here it is right here. There was a Z net. Korea KBANG conducts technical verification of overseas remittance with Ripple. So you know the. In other words to translate their law, their wallet wasn't. They were using wasn't cutting it. Ripple is exactly what they needed. The Palisade wallet. So the Palisade docs show that it can authorize XRPL payments, a trust set an offer create an escrow create and an AMM deposit and more suggesting the wallet orchestrates more than just custody. Palisade moves beyond just deposits slash withdrawals to function like an orchestration wallet. So this is what I like about Wrath of Kahneman. He always puts exactly where a lot of this stuff comes from. You know he always, always cites the, you know, puts the citations in there. What's funny because I clicked over on this and I was looking through here the awardees, the XRPL grants. Funny thing is they don't have any dates on these. I don't know when this was but you know, I don't know when. Assetto C9 150 000. They're from Thiago. Then we've got, we've got here, we've got. That was Brazil. Here's another one from Brazil. But when were these Wave 9. When was Wave 9? Is this the latest one? Wave 9? I don't know. There's Wave 7. What happened? There's Wave 8.

[Jeff]

What's the date?

[Chip]

I'm saying I wonder if can you say when was the XRPL grant for wave nine? Maybe you can. I don't even know if this is recent. I don't know where he got the thing from. But I guess wave nine was the last one. You can't sort it by, you know, you wait sort by Date added which

[Jeff]

will tell you 6-11-2025 the XRPL grants wave 9. The awardees were announced on 6-11-2025 during the APEX XRPL summit in Singapore. Wave 9 funded 26 projects across 11 countries focusing on defy AI payments, RWA tokenization infrastructure and development tooling. They have distributed approximately 2 million in grants in total.

[Chip]

So in four days that'll be exactly one year. So we're a little late to the party on that one. But that was. He cited it because of a source. That's what he was talking about.

[Jeff]

Yeah, it's important.

[Chip]

That's what he was actually getting at. Jeff, this is big news. It kind of slipped by. This has actually happened a couple days ago. This happened on the 4th somehow I saw it in my feed. I don't know how we missed it but Robin Hood added bat, which is the brave browser token, the basic attention token, Flare. Wow. And we missed Starnet, starknet. So here it is. Bat Flare and starknet. I like this cool little graphic right there. And there it is. Robinhood crypto. So Robinhood crypto. Kind of. That's really cool to see it on such a large, you know, accessible exchange. Everybody has a Rob. Everyone has Robin Hood on there at least I'm thinking a lot of people have Robin Hood of sitting on their phones, right? I do.

[Jeff]

Everybody has a Robin Hood.

[Chip]

I wish I would have bought more Palantir. I just knew it. I got in at 9 jeff. I didn't buy enough volunteer. I remember I'm gonna load up on it. And I got distracted squirrel. And I was like. It went down a brief time and I was like dude, I should have loaded up on it.

[Jeff]

But nope, that was the time. But every dollar, every last dollar should have gone.

[Chip]

Are you gonna try to get in on the, on the Tesla? Well, not the Tesla. What is it? DS SpaceX IPO. They said that's, that's on Friday.

[Jeff]

Their IPO is 165. 165 or 195 IPO.

[Chip]

So I wonder what happens.

[Jeff]

That's what they're announcing. Free market pre launch. So it's. It's going to open in the 200s probably.

[Chip]

Yeah, probably 200s get up to three something then it'll shoot right back down. The weird thing is it's happening right before the weekend. So institution can buy in on the weekend or they can dump on the weekend. Right. So that's the thing, they can continue trading. You're gonna get end up getting, I don't know where it ends up, but I think eventually it's a 350 plus stock. What was that one? You both. So not vanilla.

[Jeff]

Yeah, that's getting a bit more interesting.

[Chip]

Here's my advice. Shut the up. Here's my advice. That's mine from Dr. Chip. I just see the easier thing is just to leave. You don't have to pay around, you know. You know, it's.

[Jeff]

I'm Bruce Lee's brother's here all the time. Always here.

[Chip]

Yeah. Get more interesting. I mean, what do you want us to do? It's crypto, man. I'm sorry.

[Jeff]

Hanging out till it gets. Until it gets.

[Chip]

If we wanted to make it interesting, Jeff, we'd probably have AI because that's the only thing that's interesting going on, which. Jeff, all of our time doing crypto's boring. I'd rather do geopolitics, to be honest with you. That's lovely.

[Jeff]

Meanwhile. Meanwhile, my clot is consuming every little bit of my memory right now.

[Chip]

It's crushing. It's crushing everything.

[Jeff]

I don't know how it consumes so much memory. I don't know how it's. It's just bleeding memory.

[Chip]

If I let my computer run for like, leave it on for two days, it just. My whole computer gets just. I gotta reset, shut down and screws everything. And the browser, man, the Chrome browser memory flare said. Even Flare put. Talked about this announcement. Flare is now in Robinhood, available in the app or in your browser. Wider reach for the network certainly, as people are probably going, flair. What's flair? Nobody knows what flare is.

[Jeff]

Everybody knows.

[Chip]

And then here's Hugo. Got a little clip from Hugo. It's not a new clip, but again, for some reason I'd never seen it. And you can't find. You can't see every damn clip that Hugo's gonna do. Guy's everywhere. And I just hit him up again and said, hey, got my haircut today. Agreed to come on here. I just said, hey, man. His guy was supposed to reach out to us to schedule and it didn't happen. We'll have a great time.

[Jeff]

Just WhatsApp. Tommy's got to come on.

[Chip]

I did. I just pinged him again today. I said, come on. Hey, your guy never got got to me. So Hugo talks a little bit here. He talks about flare networks. He says that, you know, the point here is that Flare can mint XRP directly on exchanges, removes the KYC and centralization friction that other wrapped XRP models can't quite solve, and uniquely positions Flare to scale XRP defy capabilities and then unlock those real world utility for the XRP hold are allowing you to mint

[Hugo]

XRP directly from Exchange. Now no competing XRP product can do that because they all have a degree of centralization that Flare doesn't have. And they have to know the minter. They have to kyc the Minto. So something like wrapped XRP offered by Hex might be an interesting. Might be an interesting thing. They cannot onboard you directly from an exchange because they don't know who you are are FXRP can.

[Mike Belshi]

All right.

[Hugo]

So in terms of scaling, in terms of user making it easier for the user. All we do is try to break down those barriers. That's why we've created Flare smart account. Okay.

[Chip]

That's why they created them. There you go. Paul Baron show. That was, that was from excellent 6% by the way. Okay.

[Jeff]

There's going massive growth and let me

[Chip]

know when it hits. Let me, let me know when it hits 10 cents.

[Jeff]

How about a penny?

[Chip]

Let me know that too. That'll be also good. A penny works for me. Let me know when XRP hits. You know, $2, $3, $4, $5. Be fun to see a run up and all the way up to 11 $12 actually down.

[Jeff]

Lar's actually down for the last seven days.

[Chip]

Oh well, so it's not really up 6, 6% on the day, but down overall. The whole market's down. Market took a dump.

[Jeff]

The whole market is tanked.

[Chip]

I have a feeling that once you know they will. I do think they will get clarity through. There's a good possibility that that will get through. We also have some, some other things. This is Mike Belshi, he's the CEO of BitGo. He's talking about how politics has complicated the efforts. Jeff, this is a real. I'm gonna have you analyze this thing because again, we're using way too polite language. You know, politics sure infers everybody, right. Things like non partisan everybody. There's partisan politics. They're always dancing around it. They don't, they kind of want to tell you, but they don't really want to tell you. So I'm going to let you tell them after you watch this clip. But here we are. This is Mike Belches, the CIO of, of bitwise. Is that what it is? Bitwise? Bitco, Sorry, Bitcoin. There we go. Here we go.

[Mike Belshi]

Good for stable coins. It'll still need further refinement. Of course. Retail should be allowed to get interest on their money. The idea that they shouldn't is insane. But okay, so There'll be iterations on that, but it's still really good to have it. The other one that we need to have is something like clarity. Unfortunately, I don't know. Every day goes by, it's. You know, you got to wonder a little bit more as to whether we're going to get this this time around or not. You know, I think one of the problems is that we have gotten into a world where digital assets are.

[Chip]

No, wait. Just watch how he dances around this. Okay, this drives me crazy. In interviews. We analyzed one yesterday. Just say what it is. Here we listen into a world where

[Mike Belshi]

digital assets are a little bit political. And so everybody that's been in the space has been stung and knows now.

[Chip]

Look at the looks on their faces. This is the. Every single one of them sad faces. Dude in the bottom corner is like, what you saying? What you talking about, Willis? He's, like, looking at him like, what are you saying? But look at the sad faces on Ellie and the other. I don't know what her name is. The other crypto girl.

[Jeff]

I don't know. Just sad.

[Mike Belshi]

When you have a social stigma against you, and these are just tools. These are financial tools. It should not be disputed like it should be people helping others with financial products. That's simple. It's not political. But unfortunately, it hasn't always been that way. And then I guess some of that's just. Just related to politics.

[Chip]

Jeff, what's wrong with this statement? You danced around at three different times. It's just politics. They're just tools, you know, the political class. Let's listen to one more time, because this is just. It drives me crazy. Just say what it is.

[Mike Belshi]

I think one of the problems is that we have gotten into a world where digital assets are a little bit political. And so everybody that's been in space has been stung and knows what it's like when you have a political stigma against you. These are just tools. These are financial tools. It should not be dispute like it should be people helping others with financial products. That's. It's simple. It's not political.

[Jeff]

But unfortunately.

[Chip]

Unfortunately what? Unfortunately what? That's. What if he makes the point?

[Mike Belshi]

No, it's always been that way. And then I guess some of.

[Jeff]

That's just.

[Mike Belshi]

Just related to politics.

[Chip]

Jeff, what is he having a hard time saying there? What?

[Jeff]

I don't know.

[Chip]

What.

[Jeff]

What is he actually saying?

[Chip]

What should he be saying? I mean, why doesn't he just say the answer to every. Who f everything up royally are against everything? Are you making money on Your money because they're lobbied by the banks. Why doesn't he say that? Doesn't want to say that. He's like, things have become political. I can't believe how political things have been.

[Jeff]

It's such.

[Chip]

He dances around the subject. Here's a.

[Jeff]

Check this.

[Chip]

All this is, this is Rebecca Reddick. She says the Clarity act could become a big step in one area. Listen to this.

[Rebecca Reddick]

Passes. It will be the only piece of legislation in the entire world that touches defi, period. Mika doesn't touch defi. There is a very clear carve out for that. None of the other legislation that's coming through Dubai, Hong Kong and all of those places touch defi. Everybody has been looking at the centralized players because we know how to regulate centralized players even when we're thinking about wonky things like vertical integration, conflicts of interest and the like.

[Chip]

And she says she's illegal. She kind of knows what she's talking about. I think that's a really good point. But I'll be, I'll be, I'm. If I'm honest, I don't know if the D5 thing survives. Like I think that might be other point of contention. Even though they haven't mentioned it. It's the bank thing. Do we really care if you make or if you earn interest on stable coins? I don't care. I, I have crypto and I real crypto, decentralized crypto. I'll earn yield on that all day long. What do I care about my stable coins now? It's bigger thanks to or you know, regular players. But do I care? I don't care.

[Jeff]

The banks, the banks and the big institutions care about it because as they're, as they're moving the stable coin around replacing their typical slow settlement process, they're earning, they're already earning yield on that. So now they want to earn yield. They're gonna, they're gonna find a way to manipulate it. Imagine you can move something instantly before they were making short term yield because settlement took three to five days. And there's some, you know, and there, there's, there's all sorts of, you know, loans, short term loans taking place and all sorts of IOUs and things. But you know, now think about instant settlement. They got to figure that they're going to figure it out, they're going to slow it down somehow or they're going to figure out how to tap into transaction costs, you know, things, things are going to change. But that, but that's okay. You know, we're, we're streamlining the process. And just like everything else as we talk, like with AI, AI is not going to make people go away or jobs go away. It's going to change how the jobs are actually handed out, how people are actually working. It's, you know, there's going to be some shift, but that's okay, you know, that's progress.

[Chip]

It happens all throughout history. Kira Comics says it's coming to a point where Trump will start addressing Congress. All right, you little. Well, based on, based on this interview you're going to see later, you'll. That's not too far off the point right there. It got pretty close and heated and visual vendetta says. I'm still confused as to how the hell the Dems and libs don't see how idiotic their statements and beliefs and ideology are. Well, the ideology prevents them from logic and reason. That's the first point, number one. And also number two, I think the other big problem is I think Big Pharma has really just pierced every part of their lives. A lot of these people are on 3, 4, 5 Big Pharma drugs and anti anxiety and this stuff. A lot of like mental type things going on. I think that might be something that we never had 20 years ago, you know, 30 years ago where we had. Everybody's on these, these meds and every time there's a mass shooting, they're doped up on three or four of these things without fail. Got the crazy eyes, dog. Got the crazy eyes too. That's the other part. That's the big tell. It's like, you see the crazy eyes are always open. Like, yeah, I'm gonna do this. You know, you're like, whoa, that one's a nut job. It's a nut job. Devon. Steve says the banks want Us to earn 1% on stable coins while they earn 15 or something like that. Well, they get 4 and a half to 5% on the back end. The problem is they didn't build a good model. And you know, people could still, if, if banks can hold your crypto, they could offer yield on that. They're not going to because they're, they're making money on your money still. They're still pretending if you deposit something on Friday. Oh, she can't possibly do anything until Monday morning rolls around. Why? Because they can earn two days, you know, on, you know, million tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars on the weekend. Sure, that's exactly what that means.

[Jeff]

Here's. There you go. Spot on, Chip. But look at this comment. Greetings From Germany, Jeff and Jim, I love your streams. You always get straight to the point and you do it with a great sense of humor every single time. It's a fantastic show. Keep up the great work.

[Chip]

There you go. That's awesome, let me tell you. And I'm excited about Germany because I think Germany is going to really, it's going to really go to a new level because if you think about some of, some of the countries that have issue where the people aren't happy with what the leadership's doing, I think Germany, AfD party, what they're going to do, like two big things. They came out and said, the first thing they said is we're leaving the eu, right? I was like, whoa. Nobody, even the, any right party has not said that. Not the one in France, not the one, you know, in some of these other elections that have just been won. But I don't see it happening. The UK's gone. Forget about the UK. I don't think they're gonna make it. Maybe revolution can save them. But I've been most excited about what's going on in Germany because listen, the German people are amazing. First of all, when they, when they saw their manufacturing, the best, if you look at the best design stuff in the world comes out of Germany. Now if you have to me, Jeff, it's always drove, driven me crazy that you would start getting rid of all your nuclear power. I know recently we've heard that came on said, oh, that would have been a mistake. Might have been. It's like you can't even manufacture this stuff. You've had to move your factories to other part, your parts of the European Union because you don't have enough power to actually do the manufacturing and make all the cool stuff. So I like what's happening in Germany. I don't know if you're an AfD party, but I think that right there a lot of good stuff's going to come and I think that Germany's probably the one that's going to start rewriting the rules. And if they leave the eu, Germany leaves the, you know, the big baller. Germany leaves. Oh, EU's in some serious trouble. France,

[Jeff]

yeah, from day one, initiation of the EU is in trouble. It was just, it was just a matter of time. It went a lot longer, a lot longer than it deserved to have gone. The one, the one. Plus out of the entire shift with the EU were the open borders, meaning ease of travel. So if you want to travel through Europe, get in your car, drive. That simplified the process was that good? I don't know. I don't even know if that's good or bad because you kind of lose some sovereign integrity, right? We have, we have Canada on our northern border, but I mean, we don't, we have agreements with them, but still, country, country, you know, even within Europe, you still need to have some sort of border integrity, you know, from country to country. You know, I think that component, they need to really rethink that initiative. But, you know, make it easy. Citizenship, go ahead, go through. That's how it always was with the US pre 9 11. You know, I haven't gone across the border in quite a long time, so I couldn't tell you how it is now, but maybe it's just as easy as it used to be. I don't know, maybe it's a big cluster, but, you know, but when you travel over there, you know, going, if you take the train from, from England over to France, you go through a little quasi customs check, you get your, your passport stamped and off you go and you're in the other country. Is a simple process that there's some border integrity up. But if you drive from, let's say, if you're driving from Switzerland into Italy, nothing. There were no borders. Just kind of drive across from Switzerland to Liechtenstein, no borders.

[Chip]

I think the one thing though, Jeff, you think about it, you meant you hit upon it. But it's also the common, you know, no borders restriction. You move all over freely. But also going to the euro, it's like, you know, you had the Deutsche mark, like, so it was a lot stronger currency than a lot of what was going on in most of Europe. So it's kind of like you, yeah, sure, things can cost more. You can use something similar to the euro. And quite honestly, it's not, it doesn't spend the same in different countries. But that was the one thing that the UK did, right, is they said, no, no, we're not getting rid of the pound, right? That ain't happening. And the pound still is stronger than the euro. I mean, it still has outlasted, used to be a lot stronger. But this is the other thing too, the sovereignty. It's like you need your own currency. You need your own, you know, what is, what is culture, cultures, you know, and what is a country? It's, it's, it has to do with your culture, your language, your borders. If you lose any one of those, you don't have a country anymore. You don't have borders, you don't have, you lose your culture, you know, you lose yourself of who you are. I go to Germany, man. I honestly want to experience German culture, German food. I'd have nothing to do. It's great that other people are living there. Great. But if you're not going to respect the German culture, why do I want to? Why would I want. Why would I care about you? Right? What do I care? You don't go to a place.

[Jeff]

Every time I go over there. Chip to Germany. I would go to Dusseldorf and I would always find myself. I'm not a huge fan of German food, but I like. I like schnitzel as long as, you know, chicken the great. You know, I like potatoes like all that. But there was an Irish pub in Duseldorf I'd go to. I love the German breakfast food. I love the German beers. There are a lot of great regional beers and that's a lot of fun. They bring you the small glasses and it's like a euro and they just check it off on your. On your coaster. So at the end then you. You even up at the end. That was great. But I found myself. I go to the kebab store and I'll go to the Irish pub. There are a few other places that we found that were really good. But it's just. It's an interesting. Interesting vibe.

[Chip]

The last German place I ate in Miami was. It's in Bayside. It's actually. It's not. It's pretty damn good. I've eaten there twice already. But Bavaria House is pretty good. And they got some pretty good. Authentic at least. I don't know. They say it's authentic. I don't know. But it's good. I'll say that. I've never been to Germany. I've been a lot of places in Europe, but not Germany. Weird. And I gotta go there during. During the October fest. That makes the most sense right there.

[Jeff]

That be a lot of.

[Chip]

Feels like the most. Feels like the most obvious time to go. But maybe there's. Maybe there's something else I'm missing. One more thing I want.

[Jeff]

You gotta. You gotta go like November, early December. Go over there for the Christmas markets. The Christmas markets in Germany are by far the best experience out of any Christmas market.

[Chip]

That.

[Jeff]

That you'll. You'll get. They. They do it every area. It's amazing. What's that?

[Chip]

They're pretty good in Japan. There's only like a half of 1% of people who even at least say that they're Christian or even celebrate there's Christmas everywhere in Japan. I couldn't believe it. Everywhere is, you know, merry Christmas, Merry Christmas or playing Christmas music, but they don't celebrate Christmas. I thought that was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. What are you gonna do? But it's probably way cooler in Germany anyway. I wanted to get this in there because we talked about this the other day. Chris Dangerfield. I hosted a space with not only Chris but also Daniel. It's the ones that are two heading this up but he. If you want to take this one. Jeff, read this. This is update on what's going on with the node XRP node documentation Node

[Jeff]

documentation KFC Christmas There you go. Wait, scroll back up. Where are you going? Oh, there we go. We've now completed interviews with two node operators. So this is a quick update on the XRPO node documentation project. We've now completed interviews with two node operators with more lined up next week and hopefully more to follow in due course. Early findings are largely as expected. Plenty of opportunities to improve documentation. A few surprises along the way, some encouraging, some highlighting gaps that need attention. One thing is already clear, documentation is never finished. And there you go. That's all our biggest challenge be staying focused on the core milestones we've already identified while re resisting the temptation to chase the growing list of additional improvements and ideas already emerging from our research. And there's it, the one, the takeaway there, you know, and I like that it's always kind of a growth in, you know, progress. It's a living, breathing.

[Chip]

But wait, there's more.

[Jeff]

Wait, there's more.

[Chip]

Here we go.

[Jeff]

But this gets into the point, right? Structure, navigation, audience targeting remains some of the toughest problems to solve, but we're making solid progress and remain on track for end of year delivery. There you go. Lots to do, lots to learn, lots of value to unlock for node operators across the ecosystem. But that's right, this is just the beginning. So there's, there's just a ton. What else we got there? Make sure you're following Daniel.

[Chip]

Dennis angel and Brett Mullen who runs the XRPL Foundation. He came over from Ripple, he's the director over there and I've been out of space. He was on one of the Zaldao spaces. By the way, I host these out spaces every Thursday night. Do you think one person from the OTC community could show up? Just one person in the last four or five months that I've been doing this. Just one, Jeff. Just one person could show up. I've been talking about, I announced it, I, I post about it. Not one. I don't know where they are. OTC is like, you're cool with Wednesday, we're not giving you Thursday.

[Jeff]

I like otc. They don't. They're not big. They like the video. They like video.

[Chip]

There's something. It is something. Well, let's transition to our geopolitics and get into it. Well, there was, there was quite the exchange between. Chris, what's her name? Krista Welker? Is that her name? What's her name? What the hell's her name? Kristen Welker. She, she's gotten into it with Trump before. There's no evidence of that again. And so today they got into it and Trump was having none of it. And Trump actually left the interview. He's like, let's watch this.

[Donald Trump]

They did to the lives of people. They destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.

[Host/Announcer]

Just, just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.

[Chip]

But she's so dumb. There's no effort. I'm a parent apparent. There's no evidence. Evidence.

[Donald Trump]

Listen to me, listen to me. Let's talk about tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in California. Happening right now in California. Right now. It's. Look at, look at what's happening to that. It's four days doing well in California. It's. No, they're not. They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating in the election.

[Host/Announcer]

There's. What, do you have evidence to support?

[Donald Trump]

All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look.

[Host/Announcer]

Not.

[Donald Trump]

And I listen and I listen to people and let's see what happens.

[Host/Announcer]

Sir, that's not evidence.

[Donald Trump]

You think it's appropriate.

[Host/Announcer]

That's how they count the votes.

[Donald Trump]

You think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking.

[Host/Announcer]

State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.

[Donald Trump]

No, they're crooked.

[Chip]

They're urging the votes to be India. India. I forgot how many. I forgot how many millions of votes they counted. One day, one night, boom. Florida. What do they.

[Jeff]

Every hour, hour they have to report.

[Chip]

Every hour they have to report and boom, by 9, 30, 10 o', clock, they got a winner. So this, these are the late night ballot dump where they start printing ballots And I will show you one what one of them came in looking like. It's an absolute joke. J6 was a joke. Was all made up.

[Jeff]

But the whole thing is you start

[Chip]

seeing more stuff come out after the midterms.

[Jeff]

That's right. Still counting as California a week. A week later and they're still counting votes. It's like they're counting the votes.

[Chip]

This time they're a little smarter. They'll dribble a couple for Spencer Pratt. But meanwhile the girl that cried, the one that was just jumped in to try to like negate, you know, so she could come in second and it'd be a. A Democrat or a Democrat. The two highest she's rising. Okay. No one want her. She was so far behind. Don't worry. The people who voted late or dropped off ballots, they voted for her. Right? This is a joke. This is pathetic on so many damn levels.

[Host/Announcer]

Quick. That's how they crooked.

[Donald Trump]

Just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked and Meet the Press is crooked.

[Host/Announcer]

To be fair, I'm not crooked.

[Donald Trump]

But let's really. Will you put play right into their hands? You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with this rap. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide And I got 94% bad press. But Mr. President, you know why I got that present? Because you have no credibility.

[Host/Announcer]

But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about. I want to talk about top.

[Donald Trump]

You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Let's talk your elections in this country. We're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked and you're crooked. At least the press is crooked. And so is ABC And CBS and CNN, Mr. President. One sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.

[Host/Announcer]

Mr. President, let's please. I traveled all the way way to Wisconsin.

[Donald Trump]

I've sat rain.

[Host/Announcer]

I know I sat in the rain

[Donald Trump]

for an hour on and off in the rain. And I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great travel with a dishonor.

[Host/Announcer]

Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.

[Jeff]

That's it.

[Host/Announcer]

I spoke with President Trump on Saturday and we both acknowledged the complications during the interview. Posed by the rain.

[Chip]

Listen, she's supposed.

[Jeff]

By the rain.

[Chip]

Posed by the Ray. Well, yeah, it was Now, Jeff, we, we use Chris, right? You could have a guy drilling holes in the back here with six drills. You wouldn't hear it. It would just sound quiet. But for some reason, for Some reason in 2026, this press can't run it through a, a quiet filter. They can't run it through crisp. What's going on? This is, it's crisp, AI. I've had it for like three years, right? I mean, it's for like, you know, if you have like a barking dog in the background, the dog could be going crazy, could be attacking an intruder, they could be screaming, bullets could be flying. It sounds quiet. It's fantastic. Yeah, the crazy. Oh, there's the crazy eyes. She's like, there's never been any evidence. There's never been any evidence like Leslie Stahl, remember? And she said, no, there's no way. And then all kinds of evidence came out. You know, these people are silly. Well, I love kind of what this guy put together here. He kind of had some commentary about it and I really liked what he had to say here because he kind of has a, kind of a good grip. He said. Kristen Welker has three options after Trump walked off her interview. All three of them are catastrophic for the media. This is the moment nobody wants to talk about after nine years of rallies, press conferences, tape sit downs, then the press is boxed into three choices every time Trump sits across from them, and every single one is a nightmare. Option one, keep pressing for evidence. Trump says, all I have to do is look, listen to people. Anchor demands court level sourcing. Trump calls them crooked and walks off and the crypt goes viral. Trump as the decisive one and the anchor as the aggressor. The network spent a travel budget to Wisconsin for a segment that lasted 90 seconds. Option two, accept the frame and move on. Don't challenge the California election claims. Don't push back on five days and no winner. Let dirty election stand without a follow up. Audience sees the network validating the narrative. Every future anchor gets the same treatment because it works. Option three, don't take the interview. Refuse to sit down entirely. Trump holds rallies, posts on true social, sets the agenda anyway. Network loses access, loses the clip, loses the audience. And then we travel all the way from was to Wisconsin becomes the impossible to stay. Then the story becomes the media too afraid to interview the president. Let that sink in. There is no option for there is no clean exit. There's no way. We ask the right question and he answers it. The media is showing you a president who got a bit angry in the rain and walked off the barn roof interview in Chippewa Falls. They're not showing you that every path forward for the press leads to the same outcome. Trump controls the frame, the clip, the story. This is the most structurally difficult position for any White House press corps. He has to face. I'm sorry if I was Obama. Say the pros corpse has faced since the invention of the televised interview. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications.

[Jeff]

What was that?

[Chip]

That was. Who said that? That was Ed Winslow. And Ed Winslow is the. I don't know who he is. He's just some dude on. He's just some dude on X. He's got a. He's got a. Flags, you know. You know, he's not a lefty. Lefties hate the flag. They'll never put that in their profile. Edward T. Winslow.

[Jeff]

That's right. But spot on, though. I mean, like, perfectly aligned, you know, in terms of. This is the continuous narrative. And they. The press won't challenge California. You know, here in Florida, remember you had the. The pregnant chads and the hanging chads. And that was an embarrassment. Right? And that was. That was a complete embarrassment for Palm Beach. And then, you know, we get beyond. But the whole country talked about how pathetic Palm beach was when they were trying to analyze the chads and the pregnancy and the hanging chats. And then. Then we had. What was her name?

[Chip]

But they were hanging out of the punched hole for. For Bush. That was. Oh, they were hanging, of course, because they didn't punch it all the way through and it was hanging. So they were like, well, it could be pushed back up and maybe it's not a. I mean, a lot of that was just too. Right. The hanging chads and stuff. Little piece of paper out there's apparently called the chad. Hanging chads.

[Jeff]

The hanging hanging chad, the pregnant chad. And oh, my God, it was so pathetic.

[Chip]

This visual. Vetta says Trump reminds me of Achilles. Achilles, the whole hero from the Trojan War. He doesn't take any. He's also doing things to solidify his name in the history books. Right on. Oh, yeah, he gives zero apps, as they say. Zero Fs are given. Have been given actually now. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Marco Rubio.

[Chip]

I had one F to get early on when. When we were. So the funny thing about what's weird about it, like, you know, there's a lot of monuments and there was this other flowing pool that I've never seen in D.C. and it's all beautified. People are sitting around it and the water's flowing down the hill. And it was just. It was. The water had been turned off like 20 years. Nothing was working on it. It was graffiti. Well, there's one of the big statues there that's right outside the capitol was just loaded with graffiti. Jeff. It was horrible. And here's a little clip. And it turns out there was an easy fix for that. Want to know what it was? You might recognize this from the State of the Union.

[Donald Trump]

It turned out that all we really needed was a new president.

[Jeff]

There you go.

[Chip]

That's all it was.

[Jeff]

People are enjoying it and that's how it should be.

[Chip]

Look at how clean everything is.

[Jeff]

You see, it's such a successful.

[Chip]

When I watched this the first time, I didn't connect that that was the same thing because it doesn't look like the same thing. First of all, it's dirty as hell. It's got right all kinds of free Palestine all over it. I almost didn't reckon and think it was the same monument.

[Jeff]

Yeah, look at that. It's like carved.

[Chip]

We needed the new president.

[Donald Trump]

Oh, we really needed was a new president.

[Chip]

There you go. There it is. Look at the pool. Nice and blue. The reflecting pool looks phenomenal.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Chip]

By the way, the lefties were complaining about it. I can't believe he spent three or four million dollars in this. Meanwhile, Obama spent 33 million three years and within one month it had giant clumps of algae in it. So what was that? What was that? Was it. Read that one.

[Jeff]

Jeff Devon said, I don't blame Trump at all. Those reporters are always trying to get a gotcha moment against him. Yet they'll bend over backwards for the Dems. That's exactly what they do.

[Chip]

Yeah, it looks like they remarbled all that crap off it. It was. It's Scott, it's gorgeous. I was just surprised. But how would you be against that? Look, I mean you can be against everything. Be like, yeah, you know what the stuff happening DC works because it works for everybody. But no bro, Orange man bad, Trump bad. Like you got to be against it.

[Jeff]

But Dems like Democrats like the status quo though. They like, they like disruptive behavior in from a perspective that everything has to be in chaotic mode. As long as everything's in chaos, in turmoil, you can regulate and control the populace. You can also regulate and control the voting structure. And so that's what happened in Broward county where it was all chaos under the supervisor of election. Now obviously she was railroaded out, kicked out and you know, and that was it. But she create she had such an environment of chaos where they could easily corrupt the vote. And the votes were also taking a long time to return. And so that's where it was when Desantis won the first time around. You know, there was, there was chaos, you know, and, you know, thank God, you know, because, you know, having to fight for, you know, every last, you know, bit of every vote, every, you know, it's just, there's just so much, you know, so much at stake where we almost had, you know, it's just amazing. But they love it that this is what.

[Chip]

Oh, they love.

[Jeff]

DC was always in chaos and crime ridden.

[Chip]

They love. Yeah. And also people can walk around without fear of getting stabbed or knifed or, you know, or, I mean, shot or, you know, like accosted at night. Randy says get some more of the money back from the leering centers. Do a lot more. That's a good one. I like that one.

[Jeff]

I got all the money. Curio Comics says all we needed was the chosen one. Djt Democrats and Republicans never have and never can do what he has done. That's true. He's done more in the, in the time he's been there than they've done in decades.

[Chip]

Please take. But the Rhinos hate him too. The establishment hates them because they love the good old boy network where they all sit around and, all right, I'm gonna run to the mic and say this. You're gonna run to the mic and say that. We're gonna be just outraged. We're gonna go and then drink. Happy hour starts at 5:30 and I'll see you at the bar. Right? That's how it used to be. They used to all go out drinking together and all that. Now from Slovakia, there you go. Let's go. Trump love that. See people like, oh, he's hated around the world. No, they wish that their leader would step up like Trump and do everything. Close the borders, take the take. You know, he always says, put your people first. You know, if you're a Slovakian, you want your, you know, you want. Whoever it is. I don't know if the government's private. You just want your leaders, this leadership, to say, hey, we're looking after our people. Every move we make is about our people. And that's it. And that's how it is. And we're going to fight for them. Everybody wants that. Trump said that at the, at the UN he said, hey, it's. I say make America great again, but you should basically make your country great again. Everybody should be doing that. Put yourself first. You don't see that happen in the UK. UK's a mess. No. Well, Pete Hegseth gave this speech. It was the 82nd anniversary of Normandy. And of course, there was some stuff that happened there that I don't mind, you know, show. But anyway, this is a little short clip of what he had to say, and I love it because he went over there and shoved it right in their face.

[Jeff]

Today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, in Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion?

[Chip]

Oh, I love that. Rubio goes over there, speaks out. And they don't like that either, because not just Trump, they hate. They hate everybody that's going against. They're upsetting the apple cart. The leadership is looking extremely weak, Jeff. Extremely weak. They do not like that whatsoever. They do not like it. It's a bad, bad thing, man. So look at this. You want to talk about fraud, Jeff? It's. I think if they put like all those, like, what was it, 85,000 agents they hired for the IRS. Why don't they, like, re put them on who can find fraud and then give them, like, big bonuses? It would be a free for all people trying to find fraud, right? Forget about screwing the people and trying to like, oh, look, you missed this three years ago. You missed this one line item and we're going to audit you, right? Forget about that. Why don't you spend your time auditing all the fraud. Look, listen to this fraud program. I saw this and I was like, what in the hell is going on? Every sector is screwed. Look at this.

[News Reporter]

Since 2015, over 70% came from India and nearly 12.

[Chip]

These are H1B holders, right? So these are the H1BVs percent from China.

[News Reporter]

And when you zoom in on this map, you're looking at, you can see where most are being hired. The dark red spots show a high density of H1B visa holders. And now we're learning more about the fraud within the program. One former official tells Newsweek that up to 90% of applications, 90% from India, contain fraudulent documents or involve unqualified applicants. And finance law enforcement in India claim it has uncovered a network of universities that produce fake degrees which were possibly used to obtain these high skilled H1B visas, including one school which allegedly stole over 36,000 fake degrees sold. I should say it cost as little as $1,400 for one of those. And while these are supposed to be high skilled employees, during almost all of Biden's time in office, 83% got junior or entry level positions. And now Texas is taking action, cracking down on those abusing the program.

[Chip]

90. Really? It's crazy to 90 jump. That's insanity.

[Jeff]

Crazy speak.

[Chip]

I mean, what is going on? Well, want to see what passes as a ballot in California? Here you go. Check this out. There it is. It says, voter sign here. Do not print. They put a smiley face there. It has to be signed. I mean, what is going on?

[Jeff]

And the witness signed says, this is

[Chip]

a California ballot that counted as a vote. Frame it for future generations. The marvel at the Museum of Clown World. God, what is going on with these people? What is to get?

[Jeff]

California is going to suffer, though.

[Chip]

So California, it hasn't suffered enough under Gavin Newsom. Well, Gavin Newsom's counting the votes himself. Did you know that?

[Jeff]

Is he. He's counting the days. It's kind of the days. Because he's out.

[Chip]

Well, he is. He is also counting the days, too. There's definitely. I think there's definitely something where he's counting the days. Right? Let me see. Hang on a second here. Yeah, Newsome is a character. But look at this right here. Check. I just. I can't understand, like, how this is so blatantly obvious. This is not a state, this is la. And the biggest complaint was nobody showed up to vote in the primary. Like, nobody showed up. They were like. It was like a super low turnout. But there we gotta. We're counting the ballots that came in from what, five days later from. Where'd they come in from? You're printing how many you need. This is what happens every time. It doesn't even make sense. But here's Newsom. Looks like he's been counting the votes.

[Spencer Pratt]

Welcome to Gavin Wonka's Ballot Factory, where every vote is pure imagination and the count never ends. Counter Loompas, do your thing. Counter count it do we got some more counting to do Counta Loompa count every day still counting votes from yesterday still counting, still counting Three in the

[Chip]

You get the head, get the idea. Yeah, it's all corruption, tons of corruption. And Jeff, you know they always say like, well no, it's not corrupt at all. There's not, there's no, no, we're doing everything we can to stop any fraud we want. Anything happen or anybody on our voter rolls. Well, look at this. California is blocking a federal audit of its voter rolls. California allows first time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising. Got a gym membership at LA Fitness. Jeff counts. You can register as a voter in California. What about an employer ID card? Yep, you can register. You got a credit card or a debit card? Sure, that'll work. How about a prescription drug label? You have a prescription drug label. Yep, that counts. That has your name on it. Insurance card. California provides free coverage, health coverage to undocumented. So you could be illegal. You could be. You get free insurance, you get a card. That card now counts as an id. So it's just, it's insane. This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number, driver license, number registration. Our office believes the policy deserves a closer look. We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are several open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted or disqualifying felonies. Of course they're not, Jeff. And they're not, they don't plan on it anytime soon because those are the, that's the names they use when they do the mail ins. So they can say, oh, this person's alive. This person died six years ago. On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters behalf, a practice known as ballot harvesting. Sure you got it from these people. And then a few restrictions. It makes difficult to track who actually received, completed and submitted a ballot. And people in California have been getting five, six ballots. You can fill them all out if you want. For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California voter rules. Federal law gives the attorney General the authority to review state voter rolls files and confirm the only eligible US citizens voting in federal elections. This is Dylan. Who's the, what's her official title over there? She's the AAG over there in the Justice Department. She sent California a letter explaining the legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws blocked the review. Can't block federal review. An argument also does not hold up because those laws don't apply to federal government in this context. We've sued California in federal court and the case, they just know they're stalling. They're like well we'll by the time this get the courts get around to doing this. And of course the courts which are also screwed and California generally wants voters to trust its elections. They should open up its records. Why would you fight to keep them closed? What are they possibly afraid of?

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Chip]

United States Attorney Bill essay, whatever. It's amazing.

[Jeff]

Hey.

[Chip]

Simply amazing.

[Jeff]

There you go. Click the thumbs up, click the subscribe and the notification bell.

[Chip]

Put this banger up there. Beautiful. Appreciate that. England is in stage four of an ideological invasion. Invasion. I was prevented from naming the group. I know the group. We all know the group. The asylum seekers. Yeah sure. The, the death cult better known as the death cult or the pedophile ring where they love when you're. They love when you're a leader that you look up to. Marries a six year old. But give him some credit. He held off until she was nine.

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Chip]

Or it's made in the marriage. So you know, that's how they do it. That's how they do it. So yeah. Thank you for that. I really appreciate the support. Thank you. Thank you. Don't worry guys. Listen, we say videos of police on here all the time. You can take them. Your military is worse. Okay. And I don't think they're really down. A lot of them, they might be going through the actions because they'll get disciplined if they don't. But I don't think they're down for it either. That's just my gut feeling. You can take them. Revolution will save you guys. Revolution. Take a serious look at the United States Constitution was written by the people, not the government limits the power of the government grants you free speech and really important Jeff, a way to protect yourself when everyone's carrying. It's a very polite society. The only time there's gun things go down is always in a gun free zone. Every single time without fail.

[Jeff]

Gun free zone. And a previously identified individual with psycho psychological problems in most of the scenarios and they're on some sort of pharmaceutical whose direct side effect is suicidal and homicidal thoughts. So just saying you want to connect all the dots in, in these processes and we've seen it time over time similar incidents that rolled out and in the last number they were mentally, mentally challenged individuals that were transgender identifying individuals that. And so there a lot, a lot going on right there with the Rx with you know so there are so many different factors and again they were identified previously as being. And making violent threats. And yet the authority, you know, nothing happens. So you have to look at the, you know, all the different factors. And then they single out, I think people overseas also when they look at the U.S. they think, you know, there's. There's gunfire on every block. You know, when they get here, like, oh, my God, it's not actually like that. And then when you realize, like in Florida, I don't know, we, we have, you know, a concealed carry. So there's. There's a lot going on. There you go.

[Chip]

And there you have it. So Spencer Pratt put this up. We have to try to decode this.

[Jeff]

Oh, new headphones, new headphones.

[Chip]

Same headphones as always. Same. If I've only been using five years, six years, whatever. No, an ear and ear headphones. But Spencer Pratt put this up. He said, remember everyone, we are still in the lead. And we've got psychotropics all the way till July 6th to keep counting. They're not the only ones who know where to find votes. That's right. Hello.

[Jeff]

Spencer Pratt is funny. He's so funny.

[Chip]

He just loves trolling the. Out of those guys. He loves the troll the daylights out of them. There's a really interesting trend that's taking Europe by storm. Jeff, look at this trend. And I'll have to explain it for the. The audio listeners, but here we go. Where is it? This is the new trend that's happening. Hang on a second. I gotta stop this right away. Yeah, because of the damn audio.

[Jeff]

Yeah. What is.

[Chip]

This guy's a stop sign and the guy's putting up, it says, you know, regular stop sign and he's putting immigration under it. So these stop signs are all starting to say stop immigration. So he put 30 wraps it around there and it's in the same font, so it looks like it's a sign that says stop immigration. You got to love that, man. Look at that. Stop immigration.

[Jeff]

It's beautiful. Illegal immigration.

[Chip]

Yeah, it's happening. Illegal. Illegal immigration. Right. Illegal immigration. Immigration from a certain. I saw something today and it said, you know what? The number one country where people that relocate, number one in like 10 countries for being on assistance. Somalia, a bunch of countries in Europe, United States, like everywhere. It was, it was like the number one dependent. So I kind of like this brand new trend that's kind of taking this, taking Europe by storm.

[Jeff]

Hey, check that out. 589 squared.

[Chip]

589 by 500. I love. Look at that, dude. I love that. That is 1178 beautiful, man. Thank you very much for the support, guys. Loving you. Loving all the support.

[Jeff]

This is f. You need to start using it. I like that number. We'll start using 1178 from now on instead of 5. 1178.

[Chip]

People like, what are you talking about? 589 and 589.

[Jeff]

1178.

[Chip]

1178 both. We got to turn that into a thing. I saw 1178 today. What does that mean? 589 plus 589. Okay. So beautiful. You gotta love that, Jeff. Let me show you a picture, guys. Let me show you this picture. Tell me if you guys have a caption for this picture, please. This is the picture I'm going to show you. And tell me again if you have a caption for it. Are you ready? Here we go. Here we go. We got McCrone, Mertz, Zelensky and Starmer are meeting in London tonight. Please caption this. It's like the four knights of Horsemen of the Apocalypse right here. What is going on? So there you go. There you have. There you have. What? What are they.

[Donald Trump]

What are they gonna.

[Chip]

What are they gonna do, Jeff? Seriously, what are they. What is that goofball Zelensky doing there? So you got Mertz, you got, you know, Macron, and you got Starmer. What are they trying to. What are they doing? Why are they meeting? Like, what are they thinking about, what they have to say? Nobody cares. They're feckless and losers, man. Meanwhile, Starmer got destroyed. Is he. You know, he's still. He's still hanging around like something's important. There we go. Three men and a coke dealer. That's four, actually. But maybe you're not counting Zelensky as a man. Okay, I got you. Circle jersey says hard on the lake. There you go. There you go. So XRP predictions. I like that one, too. That's what they're talking about. I don't know. I'm thinking 589. Well, if it hits $4, you know, that's probably what they're doing there, so. Posers. Yeah, that says. That about sums it up. I saw this image. I'm like, dude, does anybody care? Like, who cares if they're getting together? Nobody really cares. And we've got this one. Here's a parody video of the uk and it's funny because it's sad, and it's sad because it's true.

[Jeff]

That's why they're there.

[Chip]

Here's the UK, dude. Here's the UK police. And a snapshot. That's Pride Month. There you go, it's pride month. There you go. That's a good caption for that. Here we go. This is parody. It's way too close to the reality. Are you all right, sir?

[Jeff]

Yes, yes. It's not my blood. It's the blood of a racist who insulted me.

[Donald Trump]

Phew.

[Jeff]

I was scared.

[Chip]

I thought. Thought something bad had happened.

[Jeff]

Have a good day, sir.

[Donald Trump]

You're under arrest for daring to criticize immigration on Internet.

[Jeff]

It's exactly how it is. Exactly what's going. I don't even think that's an exaggeration. Those are.

[Chip]

Dude, I'm saying it's true. It's like, it's like reality.

[Jeff]

It's insane.

[Chip]

Did you want to know something? You know who's wising up? You know who had a lot of trouble very early on with the migrants? 45 of the crime and rapes, the highest rapes in, you know, the eu. None other than Sweden. But it looks like Sweden is starting to find its sea legs. And it looks like they have implemented some changes. Jeff. New stricter rules for acquiring Swedish citizenship were introduced today on the national day of Sweden. You need eight years of residence instead of five. You need to be self sufficient requirements. So no more freebies. You got to be self sufficient or you're done. Swedish Language and Society exam. Don't learn Swedish. Not assimilating. See you later. Good character. The most controversial change. So in other words, you can't have, you can't be arrested, you can't be, you know, cited for stuff. The conduct requirement was strengthened from Hyder Light, whatever that means, honest way of life, to. Order, which means orderly and honest way of life. And I'm sorry, I don't speak Swedish, but basically they went from what it used to be the honest way of life to orderly and honest way of life. So yeah, if you don't assimilate, if you don't learn Swedish, if you don't. If you don't understand the society, if you don't understand the culture, you're gone. And guess who's going to be gone? Plenty of people. It's a great thing. You give them a test that they can't pat, you know, they can't pass. And it turns out it's not racist. Just like, hey, everybody in Sweden can pass that test because everybody speak. Everybody speaks Swedish and everybody understands like, you know, what's what the. How the government works and stuff. I love it. Applicants must now have been living in orderly life. Means you can forget about citizenship if you have a criminal record. Restraining orders Financial responsibility, deaths, patterns and non payment, repeated minor offenses, non compliance with authorities, ties to groups involved in grave human rights abuses, and a number of behaviors that aren't illegal but deemed unwanted in Sweden. And the biggest one is if you don't speak Swedish. That's a big tell right there. That's true. But this is how you get rid of them, though, dude. This is how you get rid of them. You have a test and you say administer the test and they cannot pass the test and you're deported. That's how it happens. And it's not racist because it's just a regular test that anybody, any Swedish citizen, can pass except for you losers. So there you have it. I like this. This might be adopted in more places in Europe.

[Jeff]

It's a good starting point for sure.

[Chip]

I mean, from Sweden, going from not prosecuting it was worse than. Than the UK at one point. Capital World, you know, they were. They weren't prosecuting them. They were getting out. They were raping these young girls to this. This is a big improvement, Jeff. Big improvement. So anyway, here we go. That's. I think that's it. 80 IQs doesn't go very far. Netherlands, same way. There you go.

[Jeff]

That's it. That's all we got. That's all we got. No public, no babble babble bee. What is it called? Babylon. Got no Babylon beat for tonight. Not even one.

[Chip]

That's weird. I use and you know, I usually take, but I didn't.
