Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ripple CTO David Schwartz "Shocks" the XRP Army (03:29–19:40)

• David Schwartz announces he’s stepping down as Ripple’s CTO at year-end.

  • Schwartz’s post reflects gratitude and hints at a desire to get back to hands-on building, coding, and exploring new XRPL use cases beyond payments.
  • He’ll stay on Ripple’s board and remain engaged in the XRPL community (“not going away”).
  • Speculation that Dennis Jarosh, Ripple’s SVP of Engineering, is being positioned as Schwartz’s successor.

• Reactions and implications:

  • The community’s overwhelmingly positive response: “22,000 people in the community love this, 4,600 reposted, 1,700 bookmarked it...3,200 comments.” (19:36)
  • Schwartz is seen as a builder at heart who’s “taking stock of my last 40 years.”
  • Chip and Jeff speculate that Schwartz may want to launch his own project or passion venture in web3.

• Memorable Moment / Notable Quote:

  • Schwartz: “The time has come for me to step back from my day-to-day duties as Ripple Chief Tech Officer at the end of this year. I’m really looking forward to spending more time with the kids and grandkids and going back to the hobbies I set aside. Be warned. I’m not going away… you haven’t seen the last of me, now or ever.” (13:02–13:39, paraphrased)

Takeaway:

Schwartz’s exit is more of an evolution than a shock, with the door open for new technical leadership at Ripple and possible innovations from Schwartz’s next chapter.

2. XRP Reserve Currency Myth Debunked (03:43–11:13)

• FUD and fake narratives are rampant:

  • The myth that Schwartz (or anyone credible at Ripple) has said XRP will become the global reserve currency is “wishful thinking,” spun out of context by YouTubers and “fanboy” articles.
  • Hosts emphasize there is no direct or indirect official endorsement of XRP as a world reserve currency.

• Technical reality:

  • Reserve currencies must be stable and backed by something; XRP is volatile.
  • Even as a “bridge asset,” XRP’s price fluctuations make it unsuitable as a reserve.
  • Institutional adoption is trending toward stablecoins (e.g., RL USD on XRPL) for settlement, not native XRP.
  • Quote: “If you want to have a currency that’s going to be a reserve currency, it needs to be stable and it has to be backed by something… you can’t have any fluctuation whatsoever in it.” (08:19, Jeff)
  • “The launching of the RLUSD should’ve automatically told everybody… even for trade, institutions want something stable. They don’t want anything that fluctuates.” (09:22, Jeff)

• Community's unwillingness to let go:

  • Many cling to old narratives out of hope or for “clicks.”
  • “Connecting imaginary dots is not going to get you any closer to reality.” (06:06, Chip)

Takeaway:

The “reserve currency” narrative is thoroughly debunked; institutions prioritize stability, making XRP’s volatility a non-starter.

3. Ripple News & Industry Updates (22:34–26:05)

• Ripple funding UC Berkeley’s new Center for Digital Assets (23:20).

  • $1.3MM gift from Ripple. Skepticism about impact, with jokes about “woke” institutions and the efficacy of such academic partnerships.

• Notable personnel moves:

  • Nick Bugalis, former XRPL engineer, now CTO at Algorand.
  • Discussion of community/industry cross-pollination and some light-hearted banter about being blocked by various figures on social media.

4. Europe Burns: Geopolitics, Islamism, & Civilizational Decline (47:20–93:50)

• Dramatic contrast between past and present in Europe:

  • “Netherlands 1975 vs 2025:” Visuals showing peaceful societies giving way to street protests and violence. (50:23)
  • Criticism of European political leadership for failing to maintain order and national identity.

• Historical perspective, with detailed narration:

  • Outline of how Islamization led to the decline of various civilizations (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan, Gaza, North Africa, Spain) (51:57–57:38).
    • “Everywhere the same pattern. Conquest, Islamization, Arabization. Ancient cultures erased. People transformed by force.” (Historic video narration, 55:00)
    • Discussion that “Marxism, Islamism, and globalism” are converging as “three kisses of death.” (57:58)
  • Hosts argue this is history, not opinion, using specific examples.

• Migration and civil disorder:

  • Explosive growth of radical Islam in Western countries; claims that when a population reaches a critical percentage (e.g., 10%), social order breaks down.
  • Excerpt from Alex Jones and other controversial commentators warning about “conquest through migration” and radicalization (64:06–72:08).
  • Citing recent attacks (Manchester, UK) as evidence of these trends.

• Response to listener Q: Is the West entering civil war? (visualvendetta, 37:53)

  • Hosts say, “No.” They credit law enforcement and political shifts for pushing back against far-left disorder and reject the civil war framing.
  • “The right is finally righting the wrongs…putting the normal back in, we’re taking the crazies out.” (40:45, Jeff)
  • Advocates for accountability of elected officials for allowing unrest: “You’re going to be brought in front of the court of justice…that’s the direction it has to go.” (42:09, Jeff)

• Resistance to political correctness and media bias:

  • “News is all biased and ideologically driven. Just a few by a few parent corps…their purpose is the collection, distillation, and distribution of fear to sell.” (63:38, Jim D. and Chad)
  • Use of memes and satire in political commentary (e.g., “Schumer Sombrero,” Babylon Bee’s Netflix roast).

Conclusion

This episode delivers a thoughtful, direct, and sometimes fiery exploration of XRP’s place in the crypto ecosystem, the myth-making that persists in the digital asset industry, and how current social and political upheavals across Europe reflect deep-rooted historical cycles. The hosts urge the community to ground its expectations in reality, debunk hype, celebrate actual progress (like the maturation of leadership at Ripple), and stay engaged in wider societal trends—all with their trademark brash humor and populist edge.

Transcript

[A]

Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here from co host Chip. What is going on, everybody? What's going on?

[B]

Not much, Jeff.

[A]

Like every other podcaster, podcasters that don't.

[B]

Know how to use the mic, they're always like, that's in front of their face.

[A]

Right. Due to all my, the video issues that we're having right here, apparently. I know we're updated so now it's weird. Down a little bit. But hey, welcome back to on the Chain. This morning, XRP community is on fire. You know why, Chip? Because Ripple CTO David Schwartz dropped a bomb and said that he's actually done, done over at Ripple. But then I read an article and we'll get into that. Now here's the big one. I've seen this coming up way too many times. I've seen too many articles referencing this xrp, the world's reserve currency, man. The narrative is just spinning out of control. So we gotta, we gotta talk about that. We want to get into that. We're gonna break it down. What did Schwartz actually say? What is going on with this XRP as a reserve currency?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now how about the RL USD stable coins that could actually reshape global finance. Then we have to deep dive even further into the chaos. I say chaos spreading across Europe at a rapid pace, man. It's on fire. It's crypto meets geopolitics. And this one is going to get intense. So get your coffee or if you're somewhere else, grab your pint, your scotch, your vodka. I don't know what it is, but we're going to dive in head first into the shallow end for maximum impact. That's right.

[B]

Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain. Welcome everybody to on the Chain. We are finally live. My God. It was. We had technical issues. Always a technical glitch here and there. And Jeff had a weird camera update and it just, man, did so many weird things. And this is how it happens sometimes. But drop where you're coming in from. What part of the world are you coming in from today? Gosh, this might be our latest start ever. 8:35. My gosh. Wow. Holy cow.

[A]

It's at the bottom of the hours and I'm gonna roll the music.

[B]

Not the bottom of the half. Half of the show though. But anyway, we. I'm going to have to pop out of here for a little bit. I got a contractor coming to the house.

[A]

So contract.

[B]

If, if on time. If not on time, then, well, you know how that works. You know how that works. So.

[A]

And the good thing is, and we were threatened by what just went out. Oh, yeah, sorry.

[B]

Visual vendetta. Was going to go to watch Alex Cobb. I was like, dude, you can go do that at your own peril, man.

[A]

At your own peril.

[B]

Jeez, take the whole.

[A]

Bunch of slackers.

[B]

XRP to 21 is the new one. The new XRP will win the SEC case. Yeah. It's just too much, man. London's in town. Okay. We could talk about London today. Slackers. Yeah. That's super slacks.

[A]

We start around 8ish.

[B]

Ish. Well, that's the. I don't. Is 8:30 even 8ish? It's closer to 9ish. You know, it's like when you're, like, when you're 30, you're like, I'm 30. But when you're like, the day you turn 35 and that next day, you're then closer to 40, and you're like, oh, yeah, this is kind of how we started. The show was 8:30. Something means we're closer to nine. But that happens sometimes. Guys, what are you gonna do? People on the podcast are like, I don't care about this.

[A]

I'm just listening to the podcast, Politics and Geopolitics. They want to know why the XRP is going to be the reserve currency, according to some of those YouTube fanboys out making writing articles and making podcasts.

[B]

And they're. And they're. And they're talking about narratives from, like, 20. Yeah. When Brad Garlinghouse came out and said, you know, we Talked about in 2017, 2018, he was talking about Swift, and he was talking about the fact that, yeah, it wasn't necessarily that they were. Everyone's like, they're gonna replace Swift. And every time Swift would come out with, like, an update, like, hey, this. We're using this blockchain. We're doing this or that rc. Oh, every XRP is never gonna go well. It's not. They're not gonna make it. They're not gonna replace Swift. Come on, man, you guys got to be smarter than that. I'm not here. I'm talking about the people. Meanwhile, there's no shortage of willing people to watch these channels that are filled with all the fud. And it's just too much, man. It's too much at all.

[A]

Too much.

[B]

I have my reservations about the notion of XRP becoming a global reserve currency. A bridge is just a place for the trolls to apply for a passage tax. There you go. Well, it's. It's a. It's a Bunch of garbage. It doesn't even sound plausible. And at any time when it was said, Jeff, it's just. The whole thing is just a mystery.

[A]

It wasn't, it wasn't plausible five years ago. It wasn't plausible four years ago. It definitely isn't plausible now. And that, and that's a big part of the problem. You see it over and over. And the, the biggest issue when, when you read through these articles and we have a couple of them, is that people read into things and invent their own outcome, you know, based on what's said. And it's very interesting because David Schwarz has been interviewed, others have been interviewed, and there's a, a recent one. I think we have the article, you know, lined up on this one. But specifically they're saying that he indirectly references that XRP will become the reserve currency. I'm like, how do you indirectly reference that it's going to be the reserve currency when it doesn't? I think it's the first article that we even have up there. You know, it's. It's kind of crazy. And he doesn't even say that. He doesn't even reference that XRP is going to be the reserve currency. It's just a bunch of wishful thinking. You know, it's just somebody hopeful, you know, reading into something, you know, making up a narrative. So they could say, boom. On their, on their X post or somebody on their YouTube can comment on it and be like, boom. See, I told you. He indirectly says it. But there's nowhere in here that he indirectly says it.

[B]

That's the whole thing when you have a FUD headline. He indirectly said it. You know what I indirectly said, Jeff? I indirectly said that the Kamala Harris would be. Might. Might be president. I indirectly said it, which means I didn't say it at all, which I never said it, but it's just like these people are just, they're insane. And when I listen, listen, I have to listen to some of these channels too. Like, I have to listen to some of these people. It is really good entertainment. Like, the imaginations are just run wild. It's crazy stuff. But you're connecting dots that don't exist. Connecting imaginary dots is just. Is not going to get you any closer to reality. And I get some of it, but I. In the beginning, I thought that maybe people are just. Well, they're just trying to get clicks and stuff, but I actually think they believe it. That's the weird thing. It's like, maybe in the beginning it was like, let me Put something preposterous out there and see if anyone's interested. And then I think they start, you know, it's, there's an old phrase, you can't believe your own bullshit, you know, but a lot of us do. That's what happens. We're human. But you know, when you start believing too much in your own bs, it's a bad thing. It's a bad thing. It's a bad thing. Well, Jim D. Is right. President of what, the farm? Funny farm district. Yeah. Should run a, you know, come out with a series of, of insane asylums. Remember? You know, it's so funny. I remember hearing my great grandfather, my great grandfather passed at 99, almost short shy of his hundredth birthday. And I remember him talking about like the 30s and 40s when they used to have, you know, insane asylums. Like he would say like they would just, like somebody would just crack one day and the next thing you know they just be at the insane asylum. And we see this stuff daily, especially with the left. I almost feel like there's like, is there, is there like a run up on, on crazy? Because every time you think see something too crazy, Jeff, there's something else that.

[A]

Comes out something else crazy.

[B]

It's like, look at this. He was on an X space where he offered a perspective on the future of global reserve currencies. The conversation was shared by Jack the Rippler who highlighted the remarks for the cryptocurrency as Schwartz's comments opened up the discussion as alternatives to the US Dollar's long standing position.

[A]

Yeah, boom.

[B]

Here's a boom. Here's a boom. Boom.

[A]

He never said that.

[B]

No, he never said it.

[A]

And when you did, when you dig into it and you see what he actually says, there's nothing he references. He references. A digital asset could potentially be a reserve currency, a neutral asset. If it's a neutral asset, it's not going to be xrp, it's not going to be Bitcoin, it's not going to be any asset that is subject, subjected to, to massive fluctuation. If you want to have a currency, there's going to be a reserve currency. It needs to be stable and it has to be backed by something and, and you can't have any fluctuation whatsoever in it, you know, and so if they're going to invent some additional reserve currency, that's not the USD and that means the entire world is going to have to rely on the fact that it's actually backed by something, that it's not just Right. There's some random asset that they're applying now. Okay, let's imagine we use XRP as a reserve currency. And you know, all of a sudden there's a FOMO or a FUD and there's a fluctuation in the valuation of XRP from $3 back down to $2. Why? And how is that a reserve currency at that point? There's zero reserve aspect to a fluctuation in valuation that's no longer reserve that you want in and you want out. That's not a reserve currency. It might be a trade currency potentially, but even in a trade currency it's already been shown time and time again over the past couple years and especially where we're at now, especially where Ripple got to, at this point when they launched their RL USD. The launching of the RL USD should have automatically told everybody that, that, that is following that fictitious narrative that even in the trade aspect of using, using the, the, the, the XRPL as a bridge to, to facilitate fast movement of currency, hence the Ripple solution, they're not using xrp. They want to embed and utilize RL USD because it's stable and all these institutions that are going to be using it want something stable. They don't want anything that fluctuates. And we can look over the past 30 days and XRP is now, I think it was, I don't know where it's at right now. Yesterday it hit around 308 but it was earlier around 2. So how does, how do you even trade off of that asset? How do you hold that currency and how do you use that as a, as a medium for cross border exchange? You can't do it. It's not, it's not viable. You know and, and people just, I don't know, they just don't want to see it. You know they just want to believe in something that just isn't, you know. And then, and then making all these false connections. It just, just isn't bad or it just isn't good. It is bad.

[B]

I like this spin on maga. Make asylums great again from Chad Nausean right there. There you go.

[A]

I think I like.

[B]

And then Mark Smithson says open, open Trump derangement syndrome. Clinics nationwide, padded walls for everyone.

[A]

For everyone. And then look at this. See that sub something something, trader something. What is that? A Pax of P oic A Pax apoc.

[B]

Yeah, well it's not, not good with those characters. Those aren't, I'll just say trader. How about that? Trader, Trader we'll just say trader, trader, trader. So here's, here it is right here. David Schwartz kind of, I, I kind of just like that, this didn't really shock me that much. Look, David Schwartz is a, is, he's very well accomplished. He probably wants to build some stuff. You know, once you get into a company, there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of bureaucracy that happens. It's tough, you know, it's tough figuring out what the. And, and David's the kind of guy, it's like a hands on guy. He probably wants to go build some stuff. So he says he put out this post on Access that as it happens in one's life, I've been taking stock of my last 40 years. That also happens. You get older, I start taking stock. That's a bad place to do. You start taking stock and go, geez, I wonder if I would have done this 40 years ago. It's like how different would my life have been, right? It's like he said, it's been a wild ride. I've gone for consulting for the nsa, not satoshi to watch in the early stages of Bitcoin. Then I met Arthur, Jed, Chris and I worked on coding the XRP ledger. Now I've spent more than 13 years at Ripple. It's a pretty good tenure, man. I can't begin to explain the depth of my gratitude for this company. People who work here, the community that surrounds xrpl. It's been one of the greatest honors and experiences of my life. Second only to my amazing family. Good thing you put that on there, you never hear the end of that one.

[A]

You miss out on that.

[B]

The time has come for me to step back from my day to day duties as Ripple Chief Tech Officer at the end of this year. I'm really looking forward to spending more time with the kids and grandkids and going back to the hobbies I set aside. Be warned. No, I'm not going away. Yeah. Oh, it's got to be close to 60. I mean it's not stretch. True, but warned. I'm not going away from the XRP community. You haven't seen the last of me, now or ever. The last few months I've been tinkering on the side, spinning up my own XRPL node and publishing its output data, researching other use cases for XRP besides what Ripple focused on. Hint, hint. And more than. I truly enjoy this part. Getting my hands dirty, talking to builders, coding for the pure love of it. And I'm really excited to get back to that. More to come in this very soon. What happens is you're a builder, you're a coder, and you enjoy it. Then you can put into a CTO role. Now you have to oversee the coders. Now it's bureaucracy, file reports, status, things. How are things going? You know, what went from stage to, you know, commit. You know, all this stuff happens, and you. You know, you get away from what you love, so. But he says, getting back to gratitude to Brad and Monica, leaders who have been here nearly as long as I have, the very soul of Ripple itself. To Chris, who took a huge leap of faith and never wavered, to Arthur, who had the big ideas every time we needed them to Ripple X Team, Ledger, developers, community members, builders, and everyone else. It's been an honor in the trenches with you all. Thank you for everything you've done for the xrpl. I have total confidence in the next generation of leaders and builders, including Dennis Jarosh, Ripple's SVP of engineering. This sounds like a hat tip right here. This might be your next cto.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Does it sound like that to you, Jeff? Yeah, it's like, no one knows this guy. It's like, wink, wink, and I'm gonna call out this dude and no one's ever heard of before. So when he becomes the cto, you won't be, oh, who the hell is this guy? Genesis.

[A]

Exactly. Yeah. Where they bring that guy from?

[B]

Oh, well, here he is. That doesn't mean that's the guy, but this guy is somebody significant. He's putting praise on many others. The name in the XRP community who carry the torch.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I'll still be in and out of Ripple office as CTO Emeritus. And as of my last task at Ripple, Chris asked me to join Ripple's board of directors to continue supporting the company's mission. Yeah, that's a big except. I look forward to the rest of you at the XRP community. Jeff, this is the greatest honor of your. Of your Life. You get $250,000 a year at minimum. You show up to four board meetings, right?

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And they go, how you doing? You're like, I'm good. Anything you want to suggest? Nah, I got nothing today. And then you collect a check. It's the greatest thing if you ever get to sit on a board. I mean, you advise, you tell them. I see that. And David's not going to do that. David's going to be an advisor. But sometimes I see these people on boards and I'm like, man, what you're on you sit, on what board? What do you, what are you contributing? But meanwhile the people that are really there, they're, they're more hands on, they're given ideas or guiding the company that, you know, they've got business experience, but with David's experience, he'll poke holes and things that they bring up from us. You don't want that guy to go away. So sitting, get him on the board is a really good thing. Yep.

[A]

Mark says, does OTC have any board openings? As a matter of fact, we do.

[B]

But yeah, we do.

[A]

We actually.

[B]

You have to pay us though. You have to pay us.

[A]

So chat.

[B]

That's what it means. That means, David, can you flip the switch on the way out? Just like as you're, as you're. Instead of like turning lights off, flip the switch on the way out. Right?

[A]

Yeah. So Chad was saying it means the heavy work is done, get ready for liftoff. And, and I was going to say, you know what, I, I agree with that commentary. The heavy work is done for Ripple. I don't think it has any reference whatsoever to xrp, but I think his work up to this point is completely finished. And, and what's interesting though, you know, Chad, is what I believe is that, you know, one of the things he referenced is that he's going back to building his passion. He wants to be one of the builders building on the XRPL and beyond. Maybe there's other things that he's going to do. He also specifically said in that statement that he wants to find and look for a use case beyond payment. You know, what else can we do with the XRPL that's outside of what Ripple's doing? Rip Ripple's the one that put it on the map for payments, right? I mean, initially Bitcoin was going to replace banks, and then Ripple's big claim to fame was Cross Border Payments, which is what they're continuing. That's their mission statement. That's their business model. It's all about cross border payments. Institutions, financial and obviously they're doing a few other things. But now from this point forward, what can somebody like David Schwartz add to the building developing community? And that's what it's all about. It's all about. It's all about development. Where can we bring this technology and then as it gets built, what kind of impact does that have on the asset that they're utilizing? So there's so much medical application. I, I believe that too. I think there's so much potential in and around full transparency. Anything we need the smart contract for anything that you need. Trust lines for, you know, anything that you need. You know, some free access to data as well, and then having it readily available, but in, in an immutable format as well. So there's so many ideas of how it's going to be implemented. If we can see which whichever project David Schwartz gets behind, you know, it's going to have some legs in terms of tech. So, you know, all eyes are on him and you're ready, you're right. Get ready for liftoff. Because whatever project he works on and, and get some attention. You know, I say, hey, you know, that's going to be a, not just a passion project, but something's coming out of that, you know, something big.

[B]

Maybe he wants to be a founder. David goes, I got an idea. And they go, how much money do you need?

[A]

Right.

[B]

And the ripple will get behind him. He'll find investments, but he'll have money to go off and build something. And it'll be great for the community. It'd be great for use cases. And if he's saying, I'm wondering what other use cases are, chances are he's already put a lot of thought into that over 13 years, and maybe he wants to develop one. But what's funny, what I found really amazing was that 22,000 people in the community love this. 4600 people reposted it. 1700 people bookmarked it.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

And then you had 3200 comments.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

And then he said this. Hey, everybody, save the kind words for when I die. And I've commented, you don't see my post, but I said like, hey, dude, when you die, no, you can't, you can't read the comments. This is why we post them now, so you can read how grateful everybody is. You know that you've.

[A]

Right.

[B]

You know that you've actually done, you know, some amazing work. And, and you know, it's. Yeah, when you die, it's like, well, yeah, you hope people but, you know, cares. You're dead. Nobody cares. You know, you'll, you'll sleep when you're dead. And, you know, who cares? I mean, really, who really freaking cares?

[A]

Visual Vendetta said. This might be off topic, but a long time ago, poignant though, the Nintendo CEO took a break and came back with Super Mario Brothers. And we know how horrible that did. That didn't go anywhere. Nothing happened to Super Mario Brothers.

[B]

It's a joke. Yeah, was a total bust.

[A]

Total bust.

[B]

Nobody so much so that they're still making movies And. And I'm still now I'm seeing lots of. Lots of AI where they. They were chasing Mario Cop, was chasing Mario super in a supercar around. That was pretty funny.

[A]

That was probably one of the greatest comebacks. But. But you're right. You take that break, let the mind reset. Sometimes you're so buried. And like Chip was saying, you think about David Schwartz's role from coding, developing, building, to running, you know, from. And. And then working on somebody else's, you know, company at that point too. Even though he's, you know, a lot of his tech that he coded originally went into that. But now if he has a passion project and he's thinking about stuff outside of payments, he's already got a passion project. You know, there's something there. You know, something's churning in his brain. And. And here we go, you know, so the next. We're still waiting on full regulatory clarity. We get that. Full regulatory clarity, Chip. The sky's the limit. You know, 2026 is going to be the takeoff year to be mad.

[B]

So the story behind this was at the proper party. It's really dark in there. It just happened that someone. Yeah, my hair is like. And it's total bedlam. It came out of the. The. The. The whatever. I think I lost it there somewhere. I don't know. But it just happened to be one of these pictures where I was able to grab it. So I was asking David, like, hey, I'd love you to come on the chain. And this is right before he said, brad won't let me, and ran away. So he said, brad won't let him.

[A]

How many times does that happen?

[B]

So I was like, okay. I was like, okay. Looking forward to what comes next for you. Thank you for being such an innovator. Everything you contributed. I meant to say xrpl, but, yeah, I wrote it fast. Of the XRPL ripple and the broader community. Your vision and effort have a lasting mark. Godspeed on your next chapter. And there it is. And this dude. This dude's like, dude, I'm in the picture. And this guy's like, what are you taking pictures of me for?

[A]

Right?

[B]

This guy's like, I don't know what I'm doing here right now. That was the proper party. That was the only chance I had to have a little, small, tiny conversation with him. But people.

[A]

You know something?

[B]

He's pretty tall, too. I'm like six three. He's like, you know, he's right there, man. So he's.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

If you want to know how tall? He's a tall dude. And yeah, he's a good dude. He's light hearted. He was very. He's very funny in person. You know, I overheard him talking to some other people. He's a very funny guy. You know, you see him being real serious, but he's a really, he's a real personable guy and really was thrilled to have at least have met him, which was really kind of a fun thing. Jeff. So Ripple. Let me run this by you, Jeff. I got to eat. Your honest opinion on this. Look at this. So Ripple is partnering with UC Berkeley on the launch of its new center for Digital Assets. Let me ask you the next question. What could possibly go wrong with the most woke institution on the planet? Please tell me, what could possibly go wrong here? Hopefully nothing.

[A]

Hopefully nothing. Hopefully more monkey business that I don't need digital ID cards. A police already has my fingerprints.

[B]

Good, There you go. So that. So they basically funded this thing. They've. Let me see, They've. Yeah, here it is. So 1.3 million dollar gift from Ripple launches the new Berkeley center for Digital Assets.

[A]

That's who they can give the money to. They can give it to like Berkeley and. Yeah, again, not, not to all these other builders that have been out there.

[B]

No, no.

[A]

1.3 million. No. Gone to the Berkeley center for Digital Assets. Why Berkeley though? I mean, maybe there's other centers for digital assets. I never saw Berkeley as a tech oriented institution.

[B]

Well, I think that Chris Larson on that must be someone's alma. It's got digital content has been part of our human experience and economic system for decades. That money's gone. Dude, say goodbye. That money is gone. It's gone.

[A]

It's already. It's spent on anything but tech.

[B]

It's been part of our economic system for decades. Where did anyone see that money? I was laying around here somewhere. I don't know what happened to it. Nope, said Tarek Zody, Associate dean for research at Berkeley Engineering and the new center's faculty director. Your overall mission of the center, he says, is not. Is to foster pioneering research education innovation. Okay, ma'. Am. Got a big old cotton sneeze there. I didn't hit the sneeze button fast enough. Broader digital asset technology landscape research at the blah, blah, blah, diverse and small assets and technical advances.

[A]

Then you talked about the XRPL for.

[B]

A minute and it's gone. Thank you very much.

[A]

Thanks for playing. Appreciate the money.

[B]

And this was interesting to see. Nick Burgalis, who was really one of the most popular he was like, he was always out in front. He was one of the engineers over at Ripple and he left a while ago. He left. He. No one knew, really knew he was going to do, but he, he was just announced as the Algorand's chief tech officer, so. And then you had David Schwartz basically congratulating him. Congratulations to both Algo and Too bad. He's like, I could have. He's like, damn, I could have had the opening over it over at Ripple.

[A]

But oh, Detroit.

[B]

He spent a decade at Ripple where he led engineering teams responsible for the xrpl. This guy lived and breathed the xrpl. Now he's at Algorand.

[A]

See, now he lives and breathes Algorand.

[B]

Well, what he also does. He blocked me. I went over to check his profile and I'm blocked for some reason. I'm like, does this guy even know who I am? Like, why would you block me, dude? I've never said disparaging word about this dude.

[A]

Why did he block you?

[B]

Nobody knows.

[A]

So bizarre.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

I'm so strange.

[B]

I'm blocked. I put a thing. I put a thing out saying like, hey, you know, is anybody else blocked? Because, well, why would you block me? What did I do?

[A]

I mean, you're disparaging algorithm.

[B]

Maybe he saw. Maybe he's seen some of our show. I don't know, Jeff. That could be. Maybe that's the problem. I don't know. Yeah, we call it as we see it. You know, we call the balls and the strikes. You know, if we see something, call it out.

[A]

Fred Hoffin, one yeti. How many yetis? We got one. One.

[B]

See, we only. We have three in the, in the hopper right now. Three of them.

[A]

And by the way, Chip, we did have that auction that was running. It ended Wednesday, 8:50pm we did not stream on Wednesday. But this bad boy right here did sell.

[B]

Yeah, he did.

[A]

He actually sold for.

[B]

And the guy who won.

[A]

350. He sold for 3.50 XRP.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

3 XRP and 50.

[B]

I nicknamed him Bone Crusher.

[A]

Bone Crusher. He looks like a bone crusher. And this bad boy right here is going to be given away to some lucky guy.

[B]

Hear this song.

[A]

Holy Today. This one is kick ass. So this one is ready. This one's ready to go. And by the way, click that QR code and order yourself some badass Yeti's coffee. If you're watching on your mobile, you're sol. If you're watching on a screen, scan that real quick. Get some badass yeti coffee and be happy you did. So that is where we're at.

[B]

It's been moving. I've been.

[A]

It's been moving. We're kind of at the bottom of the hour, so let's. Let's roll this real quick. Oh, the linkage. Linkage, Linkage it. And here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

[B]

From the White Tribe, the fire blood. Your key. The Zaman wallet. Your faith on the chain, flame born warrior elders guide. Eyes of fire, hearts of ash. They bend the knee to the 7 above. But in battle they answer to fury, not love.

[A]

Feel the fire.

[B]

Face the flame. This is the White Tribe. This is fire unchained. Inferno in the name. Claim yours or be forgotten.

[A]

On the.

[B]

Is on the. That was bad. More monkey business. Wants to know if the yetis have digital id. He needs to know so you can get one, right? No, not in yeti land. No, there's no digital IDs there. You just need you. You just better make sure you're armed with something because could get rough, could get into a scuffle. Fred Hoffman says he loves badass coffee. Love my badass coffee too. Mike Mor says. Hey, drinking the last bit of badass Yeti's coffee now. I need more. You always need more. That's always a good thing.

[A]

Board approved. See that?

[B]

He says, yeah, board approved. Good, I'm glad that Smithson.

[A]

Thank you. Mark.

[B]

First. First chair of the board there. Morgan. More monkey business. You need digital IDs to fly internationally with your yet. What?

[A]

Ah, that's true.

[B]

What? Hell yeah, that's true. Barry is his name Barry Hot. I love it.

[A]

Bar.

[B]

Don't worry, Barry. It arrives on a dinghy. It arrives on a ding. Holy cow.

[A]

The White Tribe. The White Tribe, good. They don't go by names. So even though they have the elders, they have seven elders, but none of them have names. Whereas the Blue Tribe, they're a little bit more freedom loving and they have names and obviously we know that these guys. But this is a badass fire Yeti. And he goes by Barry. Apparently. His name is Barry.

[B]

Barry.

[A]

Barry.

[B]

Very hot, man. He's very hot.

[A]

He's very, very hot.

[B]

So I thought I'd put this up. This is another great John Kennedy bit right here. So. You know, it's so funny. I mean, I forgot it was. I was watching this clip was on Fox News and the host was saying, so is it that you. Why. Why do the Democrats support. And it was some Democrat. I don't know, Senator, someone from the House. And she says, oh, no, we don't do that. So he plays the clip of when they're on the debate stage, there was like 10 or 18 of them, and says, all right, this isn't a question. This is a question for everybody. By show of hands, who would fund, you know, who is for, you know, what do you call it?

[A]

You'll see it in a minute.

[B]

I don't have it. I don't have the clip. I'm just going to talk about it.

[A]

No, you don't have the video?

[B]

No, I don't have the clip. It's just, like, came to my mind. But says, who's for illegals receiving health care?

[A]

Right.

[B]

Every hand went up. And so she was kind of checked like, oh, well. And then the media spinning a, no, that's illegal. Well, yeah, we know it's illegal, but that's why they took it out of the big, beautiful bill. They basically want to put that back in. So here's John Kennedy telling you exactly what they wanted to fund. Here we go.

[A]

Health care for illegal.

[B]

That's what. Thank you. Trump just said, we want you to take some stuff out of the.

[A]

Out of the budget that we think is wasteful.

[B]

And we did.

[A]

And that upset the congresswoman. She's entitled to be upset if she wants to, but that really upset the socialist wing of the party. And so we took out. And here's what they want us to put back in. We found that under President Biden, they were spending $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies. In Zambia, we put that.

[B]

Took that out.

[A]

The congresswoman says, we're going to shut down government till you put that back in. We found $500,000 of American taxpayer money for electric buses. In Rwanda, we found $3.6 million for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti.

[B]

I'm not making this up.

[A]

It was in the budget under President Biden. We took it out. Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez in the socialist wing, the loon wing of the Democratic Party, says, we're going to shut down government till you put it back in. I'll just read you a few more that we took out. They are demanding we put back in $6 million for media organizations for the Palestinians, $833,000 for transgender people in Nepal, $300,000 for a pride parade.

[B]

Wait a minute, Jeff, are there any transgenders in Nepal? Really? I don't think so.

[A]

In Lesotho, $882,000 for social media and mentorship in Serbia?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

$4.2 million. We took it out. The congresswoman and the socialist wing of their party says we got to put that back in for the open government. $4.2 million from lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex people in the western Balkans and Uganda. I could spend the rest of the afternoon here. We took all that out. It upset Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez, it upset the socialist wing of her party, and now they though that wing of her party and the congresswoman are threatening all other Democrats and saying, you've got to shut that government down till we get what we want. And part of what they want is to add this kind of stuff back into the bill. And that's what this fight is all about.

[B]

Amazing. Jeff. We know what's really brilliant about this whole thing, because whether they. If they kept it open, they would have lost. Right. Because they would have caved. The fact that they shut it down. The polls, as this goes on, are not good for the Democrats. But the best part of it is Trump had a. An executive order that basically said that if the government gets shut down for 61 days, he can basically fire 700,000 plus people. No, just fire them. Gone forever. This is brilliant. So now you're going to be able to trim the fat, get rid of these people for good. Sure. They'll file something every time it goes up to the Supreme Court. They lose. Now, they know they're going to lose. They know they don't have a leg to stand on, but it delays that. And what they're trying to do with shutting the government down is hoping because ICE will not get paid, the workers won't get paid. You know, so the guard won't get paid. But as long as they show up for work, they'll get all their back pay when it does go into effect. So they're hoping that maybe that'll slow them down, maybe they'll keep more of their voters in the country. Maybe by some weird reason, maybe that's what they're hoping for. They know they. All the stuff they do, they know it's not going to go through. They know it's not going to. They know it's going to be overturned, but it just slows it down. You know, things are moving super fast, and all of a sudden it kind of hits a. Hits a little bit of a slow pace, and that's what they're trying to do. Jeff, just an absolute joke. But I'll tell you what, the best thing that ever came out of this is the memes around Dollar Store Obama and Chuck Schumer. This is the greatest thing ever that I've ever seen is like, these memes are so fantastic. And you've seen them all, right? When they're talking, they put the sombreros with the music playing in the background. Well, there's. There's just a whole bunch. Like, every day my. My feet is flooded with this, and it's become a mockery. And look at this. So this was a. From a real interview. Now, they. They dressed up Schumer, but he. He was asked the direct question. He pretended like he couldn't hear, like, I'm sorry, what? But look at this. So they kind of doctored this up a little bit.

[A]

Schumer shutdown. What do you say about that name? Senator Schumer, can you hear me?

[B]

Senator Schumer, can you hear me? I can't hear. I don't think Senator Schumer can hear me right now.

[A]

Maybe the government shutdown included audio on Capitol Hill.

[B]

That's a. Listen, as a politician, brilliant move. I can't hear. Can't answer the question if I can't hear the question.

[A]

He.

[B]

He conveniently said, Mr. Schumer, are you there? And he's like, I can't hear. So a little too convenient maybe, Jeff. I don't know. Then there's this one aoc and there's that video.

[A]

Play that one. But just want to post this up and then we'll talk about it after. But visual Vendetta was saying, hey, Jeff and Chip, with all the protests against ICE deportations going on throughout the major cities, do you think we are in the beginnings of a civil war? No, I don't. I don't think so either. I think we're shutting down the crazies once and for all.

[B]

Here's why. One side. One side has the guns, the other side doesn't. Try something. We'll see who. We'll see how it goes. Jeff, I gotta. I gotta pop off for a minute because I got a contractor at my house, but go ahead and take. Take the range.

[A]

All right, Sounds good. So, yeah, so, you know, if we really reference and think about what's been happening, what's been. Were setting things back on track, getting some more normaly. But. And the. It's a. It's a loud, violent minority that's. That's out there doing what they're doing. So you think about. They're paid ag. Aggravators. They're paid protesters. They're. They're there to get in people's faces. You don't see a massive crowd around them supporting them especially no longer. They don't have the politician money, support, the, they, they've run out of the US Aid, there's still bricks and all those things showing up. But what's now happened with the federal government getting involved and basically saying, you know, you want to continue this, you're done. You know, we're putting federal resources on the ground that are going to completely, you know, end any type of potential uprising. Now the accountability doesn't begin and end with these crazies on the ground. The accountability goes to the mayors, the accountability goes to the chief of police. The accountability can go all the way to the governor. So Vice, you know, every, everybody in that echelon of decision making, that that's where the accountability goes. So from a federal narrative, my perspective is there, you know, are we on the brink of civil war in this country? No, I think we've put an end to that. You know, these people are done. I mean, they can keep trying to wage what they want, but they need to be pushed back into the shadows where they belong. We've allowed the crazy, you know, pink and purple hair people, we've allowed them to dictate term, dictate terminology, dictate verbiage for way too long. Now the one thing is very well known and this is why they are pushing terminology, because as soon as you lose and it's a war, so the, the, the words, the vernacular, just everything that you use as common speak, that is part of the battle. And so they, they put that in there, they win battle after battle after battle in order to win the eventual war, which is, you know, a big part of it is war on terminology. So, you know, obviously, you know that that's one part of the narrative. They enter it into, into the lexicon. They want it to become normal. It isn't normal. Antifa is now considered a terrorist organization, which is net positive. You know, and if we think about what they have tried to do, you know, there, there's just, there's too much, you know, at stake at this point. You got to push them. They gotta, they gotta be pushed back. Now again, if that means going after the mayor of the city, hey, you know what? You're accountable for allowing this to happen. Chief of police. Now, accountability isn't just, hey, you get, you get fired and you get to move on with your life. It's no, you're going to be brought in front of the court of justice, you're going to be held accountable Whether it's torturous or you know, if it's going to be criminal negligence, you know, first and foremost, revocation of their, of their title and their position, step down. You don't get to, to resign with, with any type of flare. You step down and, and you're going to end up in, in jail or you're going to pay, you know, massive financial restitutions to the city now. And that's, that's the direction has to go now you can say, well, was an elected official, did they make the right decision? Bad? No. The elected officials purpose is to protect the citizenry. As soon as the elected official chooses crazies, chooses illegals, chooses criminal activity over the safety and security of the populace, that person is now part of that criminal entity. And so they need to be held to account, you know, based off of that. So there's all sorts of narrative that, that we're approaching now. The thing is, and you know, from my perspective, you know, we've entered into a phase where the, the right is finally writing the wrongs, you know, kind of so to speak that yeah, we're putting the normal back in, we're taking the crazies out. Crazies don't belong in federal government, crazies don't belong in state government, crazies don't belong in city government. And, and now we also see where it's at. Is it happening in Florida? Do we have these crazy antifa type in the state of Florida? No, they, they don't exist here. We're not going to allow them to exist here. They, they can't even set foot. They tried their protest years ago. They were shut down before they could even blink an eye. They went downtown, Fort Lauderdale. They tried to gather on the main drag of Los Olas in the main park on Los Olas Boulevard. And so, and they immediately, the police were there, barricaded them, surrounded them, pushed them three blocks away and then disperse them. They were gone. That was it. It was not even an hour's worth of commotion. Gone. Miami, one person hit one police car with a skateboard. The entire protest shut down. You never heard from them again. Another protest tried to go up on i95. I95 is, is a death trap and deadly to begin with when you're in your car. Forget about, if you want to walk up onto I95, you know what, you get to be run over, you know, and, and that's it. And they shut them down real fast too. Other states with these liberal freaks that are in control of their state. You know, and look at Oregon with Portland and the fact that Portland is still facing these crazies in the streets and they allow them, and then the mayor and the governor step up to try to defend them. You know, these people are nuts, you know, and so civil war, you know, I don't believe that, you know, that we have a civil war coming. So that's it. Even when I'm muted. Chips muted. I'm not muted. More monkey bits said. I keep talking. Even when I'm muted. There's no mute. Antifa. Speed bumps. That's it.

[B]

Yeah. Well, this is.

[A]

Yeah, go ahead.

[B]

It was a brilliant move with the karma Carmichael's talking about was they went in there, they knew the Trump, they knew the Epstein files, and there's really. There's no people talking about files. There's not really any files. Right. We already know who the players are. They released most of it anyway. But they went in there and they, they planted a bunch of stuff and they went through and they're like, oh, yeah, okay. So. But I do believe it does come off and come out sooner or later. But it's gonna have. It's gonna hit people on the right and the left. But it's not like we don't know the people. We have. We know who is on the island. They've got the video. So it's not like this isn't coming out. Timing is everything. Timing doesn't do that much justice this time of year, but it does a lot coming up with the midterms. So timing has a lot to do.

[A]

Oh, yeah. With.

[B]

With what ends up happening. Look at. Here's aoc. This is. I was shocked that she wore this to an interview. It's weird. I saw some Republican members of Congress saying, oh, well, if we have this.

[A]

Shut down, it's because of aoc. Well, if that's the case, my office.

[B]

Is open and you are free to walk in and negotiate with me directly.

[A]

Because what I'm not going to DO.

[B]

Is tolerate 4 million uninsured Americans because.

[A]

Donald Trump decided one day that he wants to. To just make sure that kids are.

[B]

Are. Are dying because they don't have access to insurance. By the way, Auntie Maxine, crazy, she let the cat out of the bag. She was interviewed and they. She says, is it true that you want to fund health care for legal? She says, we want health care for everyone. I'm like, okay, the answer is yes. Then this whole thing they're hiding behind. Well, they can't point to anything where they're actually. It's always like, does anybody actually go read this stuff? I went and read it. It's like, you know, John Kennedy, Louisiana Senator, read it. It's just insane that they do all this stuff. And you know, the. Just these, these memes, I wish I could get them all, but I just can't get them all. But everyone started, like, sharing the memes. Now this, these memes have destroyed them. Trump trolling them. You got this one right here. You got Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer and dumb.

[A]

And Dumb arrow sombrero. Oh, my God.

[B]

You got this one here. Broke back sombrero. Holy crap, this is getting bad. And this one I can't play because of the. I can't play the audio on this one. But basically it's. It's Keem Jeffries says, trump is my daddy. He's really small, and Trump's huge, like twice, twice as tall as him. And he's gonna be kind of. For the podcast listeners, I'll tell you what's going on. So there he is, he holds up a pinata, and Aem starts hitting the pinata yada with a sombrero and a big handlebar mustache. That's just too funny, man.

[A]

That's great. You gotta love these.

[B]

You really do. You really have to love them, man. They're just something special.

[A]

And we have some, we have some pretty good content on, on Europe 1985-2025. What's going on over there? And, and there's some really good stuff that we have.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

Let's put some good video.

[B]

Let's get to some. Let's do some not so serious stuff. And there they are, the maracas, the big sombreros. They're having a blast right there. And you gotta love that. And it's, it's crazy what's going on there, man. Crazy. The Schumer Shutdown. They asked J.D. they asked J.D. vance about this. And the. In one of the brief, in the briefing room, in one of the press conferences here he is just going back to the sombrero. You said that the President is joking, but Hakeem Jeffries says that these memes were racist. What's your response to that? And just if I may briefly go off topic, baby beard, Secretary Hegseth yesterday made an edict about no more beardos in the military.

[A]

Just wondered what.

[B]

Mr.

[A]

Sorry, what did he say? No more beardos, people. Sorry, that's my accent.

[B]

Just wondered your response to that.

[A]

I didn't see that particular comment I thought Pete gave a hell of a speech, and a speech that really is just oriented around returning the American military to the very high standards that it has had for virtually its entire history. Until Joe Biden came along and decided to lower standards. I think it was bad for our military and it was bad for our troops. When I was a young United States Marine, I did not have a beard. I am now the vice president, so I get to do what I want to do. But I think Pete's trying to reimplement high standards, and that's a very good thing. On the Sobrero thing, I mean, Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist, and I know that he said that, and I honestly don't even know what that means. Like, is he a Mexican American that is offended by having a sombrero meme? I mean, I saw one of the major TV stations put the meme up and then say, this is AI generated. And he had, like, the curly animated mustache, too. It's like, do the American people. Do you really not realize the American people recognize that he did not actually come to the White House wearing a sombrero and a black pearly animation mustache? Like, give the country a little bit of credit.

[B]

Right? Yeah.

[A]

They're all trying to do a very important job for the American people. The President, United States likes to have a little bit of fun when he's doing it, and I think that's okay. Those eyes from the.

[B]

I mean, trolling is like, next level. It's like mastery level. Jeff, the trolling that happens and him posting on his is. It's even some of the stuff that's on the. The. Like Zober says, outstanding. Those baby videos are great, where they take them and make them, and then they do all the reactions from the people. That's the fun part, is they actually.

[A]

See the people so great.

[B]

And meanwhile, the whole time, you know, Hakeem Jeffries, the baby. Hakeem has the. Has the sombrero on. That is some fun stuff. We're gonna get some more. We're gonna transition to some more serious stuff here, but, yeah, I'm gonna throw this. So, Jeff, this is one of the best. It's a short little video, but this is the Netherlands in 1975 and the Netherlands in 2025. Look at this contrast.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Turn the sound down. So you just see in the background, there's 2025 protests. People on the street in 1985, people walking around, and then, boom, there's more protests. You know, people violent. It's unbelievable. You see, like, the contrast of, like, where it's gone. And if you say anything about it, you're just being racist, Jeff. You know, it's just like, you can't see these people.

[A]

These people have run. They've run their countries into the ground. They've led to their own demise. And it's crazy because we. I have been talking to so many people, you know, and, you know, and it's just kind of year over year, you know, where things are at now versus where they were even a year ago are drastically different, you know, so everything that they've allowed, you know, to happen, and it's not everywhere in every part of every country, but it's in their major cities and. And things are getting progressively worse, not getting better. Go to Canada. Go visit and see exactly what's possible. Canada, go to. Go to London, go to Dearborn, Michigan and see exactly what's possible. You know, but when you go over to Europe, it's. It's drastic and it's drastically bad, you know, and there's no. The only way. There's only one way to come back from it. And they've got to make a big decision. It has to happen now. It had. 20, 26 is their turning point. They have a decision to make, and we'll see what happens.

[B]

We're seeing it happen in Japan too. It's like Japan, you know, they're. They're dealing with, you know, crime that they've never had. It's a very safe. You know, the whole Japanese culture is very respectful and stuff. And if you go to someone else's country, respect the culture, right? If you're not going to assimilate, don't go. It's like they're not. Jeff. This kind of. This. This one kind of outlies it with history. This isn't about opinions, it's about facts, how things happen. You got hundreds of years of history here. Where Islam takes over, civilizations collapse. This is history, not an opinion. Egypt before the 7th century. A brilliant civilization. Alexandria, the center of ancient knowledge. After the Arab conquest In the year 640, Coptic Christians persecuted special taxes. Elites fleeing. Result a poorer Egypt. Mesopotamia, Baghdad, 9th century capital of world knowledge. Science, medicine, philosophy. Then Islamic internal wars. Sharia law imposed economic decline. Today Iraq ruined and unstable. Lebanon, 1960s prosperity. It was called the Switzerland of the Middle East. Then the rise of Islamists in the 1970s. Civil war from 1975 to 1990 result exile, bankruptcy, chaos. Iran before 1979, a modern country. Growth open universities. After the Islamic revolution, religious dictatorship Sanctions, massive impoverishment. Afghanistan, 1970s. Kabul Universities, cultural openness. Then the arrival of the Taliban. Brutal collapse. Today a country ruled by Sharia. Famine everywhere. Gaza, 1950s. Visible Christian minority, active economy. Then the rise of Hamas. Sharia law imposed today. Ruins, extreme poverty, massive unemployment. All always the same story. Conquest, Sharia oppression. And everywhere collapse. Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan, Gaza. Different countries, always the same result. Everywhere political Islam takes power, civilization disappears. Everywhere political Islam took power, local civilizations collapsed. This is history, not an opinion. And North Africa is a striking example. Before the year 690, North Africa was mostly Berber. Christian kingdoms still existed. Heirs of Rome and Byzantium. Carthage, Timgad, Hippo. Cities with churches where people spoke Latin and Berber, where local traditions were still alive. But everything changed brutally. After 690, Arab armies crossed Egypt, then invaded Libya and advanced to Morocco. In 711, they crossed the Strait of Gibraltar. They conquered Spain. The result, forced conversions. Christianity disappeared. Indigenous Judaism declined. Whole populations were Islamized and Arabized. The Berbers, a free people, resisted. They fought back. They rebelled, but against military and religious domination. Most was subdued. Their language declined. Their writing almost vanished. Their original identity was erased. Look at Tunisia. Carthage, once a Christian and Roman center, was destroyed in 698. Its churches were torn down, replaced by mosques. In Algeria and Morocco, Berber kingdoms were absorbed into the Caliphate. The Arabic language was imposed. Local customs were suppressed. Every uprising was crushed in blood. From Morocco, armies crossed the sea in 711. They occupied almost the whole Iberian Peninsula. For eight centuries, Spain lived under Islamic rule. Only a few Christian kingdoms in the north survived in constant resistance. Everywhere the same pattern. Conquest, Islamization, Arabization. Ancient cultures erased. Peoples transformed by force. Even today, North Africa still carries the mark of those conquests. The Berbers reduced to a minority. Their ancient languages almost gone and much of their history erased. There you have it. There you have it. There's a great question coming in from SRP Ranger right here. And I wanted to kind of enlighten you guys a little bit. This is a really good question. Can you share the link to that video? Absolutely, we do. After every show, go to on the chain IO, I will copy and paste this right into there. Go on there. If you guys scroll down right here, right to there, it says join the OTC family. Put your name and your and your email in there. We don't spam you guys. We don't sell lists. What we do is after every show we simply like. And you can go on there and you can look at that. So once the show's over, we Also post it on our website. So you can come in here, you can see, you can listen all the different podcast places that it's, you know, get your favorite. And you can also watch the show here on YouTube. Put the winner, whoever won the badass yeti here. But you have all of the articles that we talk about, every single one of them, all the videos, everything gets posted here. This also gets sent as an email, so if you missed the show, you can kind of see what we talked about. But a lot of the times people see a cool video or something, they want to share it online, so that's how you do it. XRP Ranger, go up there, and I suggest that you go in there and, you know, just go ahead and put your, Your, Your email right in there. And then your name. There you go. Bam. That's all you have to know. And then you can also, you can also check it here, too, if you, like, two shows ago, you can go in here and you can see like, yep, there's all the stuff. There's the podcast, the winner, and all of the things we talk about and sometimes we post things we never got to. Those are there too. See what we're thinking. But that's a really good question. So I appreciate the question. And there's your. There's your answer.

[A]

Everything will be there.

[B]

Yeah, everyone. Everything will be there. And along the lines of that, here's something else. Jeff, check this out. The. These are three hands you'd ever want joined, unless death is your final wish. And that is Marxism, Islamism, and globalism. The three kisses of death.

[A]

And they're coming together. They're coming together right now.

[B]

They are coming together. So you've got what it looks like with Muslims and Christian countries and then what it looks like with Christian and Muslim countries. And it's funny that there are no Christians really anymore. They've all been killed or slaughtered. What's happened in Nigeria? You've got close to 15, 500, 000 Christians slayed, you know, killed. I saw, I saw a priest just crying out, like, come help us. They're. They're slaughtering us. I mean, and there's no words. Nobody's talking about it. You're sitting.

[A]

Nobody cares. Nobody cares about that.

[B]

All these Christians are killed. They also don't care what's happening in Africa because, well, we don't live in Africa, so screw that. You know, they don't. There's. There's no. Yeah, it's. It's. It's. It's a. It's A bad look, man. Yeah, I love this one. From this Dinesh d' Souza said, Palestinians are no more indigenous to Gaza than they are to Dearborn, Michigan. Gaza was Philistine territory. The Philistines were sea peoples from Europe. They're not Semites, they're not Arabs. Arabs colonized and infiltrated the region and now claim to be its original inhabits. That's the most succinct way I've heard it put. It doesn't get any more succinct and accurate than that. And this is what people don't. People don't do the research. They don't know history. I don't think anybody even. I don't think they teach it in school, but they don't even teach it in high school. They don't even teach it in college.

[A]

They don't want to learn history. They don't want to learn history. They don't want to go back and, and look at, you know, over, over time, you know, what's, what's occurred, what's actually happened. And we can go 2, 000 years, you know, I mean, if you want to go back 2000, we go more than 2000 years. Let's go, you know, historically, biblically, you know, and we can connect all the dots, you know, for more than 2,000 years, you know, so there's. There's been uprisings, there's been revolts, there's been conquest, you know, conquest of territory. Nothing, you know, nothing's new. And we've, we've seen the ups and the downs, but, you know, at the end of the day, you know, if you want to try to make claim historically to a region that you're not historically connected to at all, you know, then, you know, it's strictly about the conquest and that. That's all it is. And, you know, if you think, you know, and it's amazing to me that people want to single out what's happening in Gaza with a terrorist entity that is dictating how its own people, you know, move, you know, and, you know, what they did post October 7th, you know, it's a terrorist entity that occupies a territory that's built 400 miles of tunnel underneath, you know, more than, more than the, the square mileage of tunnels under New York City, you know, so you just, you think about, you know, the sheer magnitude of that, and then you have all these left leftist, globalist Europeans and others that want to support them, and they keep trying to arm them, and they want to prop up that government and that regime up you know, and it, it's just, it's mindboggling, you know, to hear all at the same time, you know, that the Islamists are not just at their doorstep, they're inside their house. You know, so you've got the Islamists inside the house of Europe right now in all of these countries, they're about to fall. There's you know, complete chaos reigning the streets right now. And that number is going to increase exponentially not just through birth rate, but through this mass migration and, and replacement of population centers everywhere throughout Europe. And yet Europe wants to pick on this tiny little speck of land which is Gaza. If we look up, you know, how much what the space is in support, again I'll say it, in support of a terrorist entity that doesn't belong there. I mean it's, it's just crazy putting zero blame on that terrorist entity. And then if we want to go to even the Palestinian Authority direct ties lineage also, you know, the, the PLO terrorist organization with ties back to the Muslim Brotherhood as well, you know, and so all these entities are all interlinked and everywhere that group has been throughout the Middle east, they've been banned and kicked out. Now at the same, these Islamists and we've played, you know, different sections from, you know, if you go to Saudi Arabia, if you go to uae, you know, you go to any of those regions, they don't allow this stuff. You know, why, why have they been able to flourish without that type of conflict? Because they don't allow the mentality, the mindset to reign or dictate what happens on their streets over there. You go to, to Egypt, Egypt has had strife and turmoil. They banned and outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood. Lebanon has tried, you know, obviously there's been turmoil with the Hezbollah and, and all the backed entities and organizations that Iran has been funding for many different years. Syria as well dictated and dominated by Iran until uh, now that now everything's being rewritten and redrawn again in terms of where Syria is going and some of the other regions, Jordan another one, they don't want them there. And there's so many, you know, aspects of what's happening. At the end of the day, you know, the world has to deal with it and has to say, look, we're not going to support terrorist entity any longer, we're not going to support what's been happening. But yet, you know, you still see the leftist globalist Europeans that are stepping up and they want to keep supporting them. You know, it's crazy to me, absolutely Crazy.

[B]

It is absolutely crazy, Jeff. The whole thing has gone bonkers. But Mike says, thank you, God, for that email. I'll tell you, keep up. When I'm racing, so, yeah, you miss a few shows. You know, Mike races, you know, does boat racing. So, yeah, he'll go through that and he'll kind of see what's going on because he doesn't have time to really check it out. And then we've got. Jim D. Says our news media are servants to their paying sponsors. News is all biased and ideologically driven. Just a few by a few. Parent Corp. That's absolutely 100 true.

[A]

Just repeat the same thing over and over and over.

[B]

Reminds me of Oak Island. Christ is still king. Reminds me of Oak Island. Jim D. From Chad says the media's purpose is collection, distillation and distribution of fear to sell. So right on. And they are leftists. Does that make us write us? That's right, yeah. Well, well, here's two more videos that I wanted to get into here. Here are two more takes. This one starts. This one starts with Alex Jones. But again, that's all. Listen, all on point. Muslims have conquered everywhere they go and.

[A]

They displace everybody else.

[B]

And it's what they do. And their religion teaches them be friendly and nice until their numbers get up to 10%. Then they push everybody out of the cities they're in and then finally out of the countries they're in and they take over. They would put your ass the sword if you didn't convert to their religion or make you chattel slaves.

[A]

So let's not play games here.

[B]

Fact, on our website, we talk about the Islamic State of North America. About 2050, Allah permitted them to live.

[A]

Off the infidel while they are subduing them. So it had sort of a parasitic type of attitude where they can live.

[B]

Off of the host country, where their.

[A]

Goal is to eventually eradicate the host culture and supplant it with Islam.

[B]

Surah number nine, it's all about the destruction of the Jews and the Christians and the non believers. So, you know, as a Muslim, you know, we have, you know, if you want to kill a Jew, you have to ask him to convert. If he doesn't convert, then you have the right to kill him. Same with the Christian. So. But when the Muslims are weak, they always speak peacefully. Why? They speak peacefully so they can thread their self into the culture. But when they become strong, when they become over 5% of the culture, then they become very radical and demand to be, you know, rulers in a culture.

[A]

There you have it, that's, that's straight on. And Canada now, I think it's more than 10% of their population.

[B]

Well, you can see where that's going even over in the uk. The issue is they want to put. So Sharia law is not compatible with, you know, Western style life. It's just not, you know, and the way they treat women is really horrific. You know, cover your women up, you can beat them if you can, you can basically rape them if for whatever reason, you just can. You basically do as you will. They're not educated. You know, this whole, it's a very primitive type of a look and people are like, and listen, I'm not condemning all Muslims. I have, I know people that are Muslim. They don't. And again, these are, this is why you have what Jeff was talking about earlier in the Saudi Arabia, you know, in Jordan and all these other places too. They, they don't want people, they don't want Hamas there, they don't want anybody from, from Gaza there. They won't take them in. Why? They're Muslim countries because they don't adhere to this Islamicism where you're going to go out and kill and torture and you know, that's, their culture is way more peaceful. But again, it's not all but the 20% and you have 80% that are probably, you know, decent people. The 20%, that 20 is a big number. And the problem is those 80% don't really ever say anything. They're not outspoken because they too will be, will die by the sword. You can't even criticize or say like, hey, I don't believe in this, or look, you could take a contrary point if you read the Quran saying, yes, but you're gonna go too. So that's why you never see the 80% speaking out against the 20%. Here's another look right here.

[A]

Remember some years ago, Pope Benedict xvi, two popes back, he made an address in Germany, at Regensburg in Germany, where he caused tremendous anger and outrage among Muslims worldwide and sparked riots because he quoted a 14th century Roman emperor, Manuel II Palaiologos, saying there's nothing Muhammad brought but what is evil and inhuman. And so to show that Muhammad was not evil and inhuman, Muslims started killing innocent people in outrage at the Pope. And so 100 Muslim scholars wrote to the Pope and they offered dialogue and said, let's build bridges and talk. And the epigraph to their statement was a quotation from the Quran that said, say to the unbelievers, let there be a discussion between us and you. And that was basically where it stopped. And so it looked like it was an invitation to dialogue. And in all of the discussion about this and all the many commissions and dialogue business that was built up after this, nobody ever thought to look up that verse in the Quran and see what the whole thing said. Because what it actually says is, let us come to a common accord between us and you, that you will worship no God but Allah and associate no partners with him, which is what they accuse the Jews and Christians of doing, of associating partners with Allah. And if you think, how do the Jews associate partners with Allah, Jesus, I understand, but the Jews, yes, because the Quran says no Jews have ever been found to do this. But the Quran says that the Jews say Ezra is the son of God. And so because the Quran says that, they say the Jews associate partners with Allah. So the call to dialogue, in other words, even in the epigraph, was a deceptive call to Islam.

[B]

Pope FRANCIS I just see a diplomat who is not representing his faith and.

[A]

If anything is stepping over and there's an even more dangerous point in what he's doing.

[B]

It's clouding up and suppressing the fact that Muslims are persecuting Christians all throughout the world, because in order to give some credence to his, you know, these.

[A]

Manifestos that he's signing with Al Azhar in Egypt and the top sheikh who.

[B]

That's a whole other story because that guy says one thing to the Pope as they kiss and hug, and a.

[A]

Whole other thing when you speak in.

[B]

Arabic to Muslims in Egypt. And it's amazing to me that, you know, the Pope doesn't have some people who are monitoring this to tell him this.

[A]

I mean, I see it just watching tv, Arabic, satellite.

[B]

So, you know, what he's doing is he's covering up what's happening to Christians right now who are being persecuted in the hands of Islam. No one talks about how being a Christian from the Middle east means that no one in the west knows who you are, and everyone in the east wants you eradicated. You know, they unalive us and behead us in their countries, but in our countries, we make them mayors. On religious persecution across the world, showing roughly 90,000 Christians were killed last year because of their faith. Amy Kellogg is live from Milan, Italy, with more for us now. Amy?

[A]

Jenna, that's one Christian martyr every six minutes.

[B]

These numbers were put together by the center for the Study of Global Christianity.

[A]

And it's really an average over the.

[B]

Last several years, on and on and on, but the whole point of it is like, look, it's, and this isn't against all Muslims, it's just one faction that's, that's evil. This is one. And it's a small percentage, it really is. I mean you're talking about a very small percentage. But these are rabble rousers. He's the ones causing problems.

[A]

But you think about it though, from a, from a percentage or numerical value, right, Just boots on the ground. What are there 1 billion Muslims in the world?

[B]

There's more than that.

[A]

It's probably more than that. So let's say it's 1.5 billion with a B, right? It's already, you know, been seen that it's a minimum of 10 adhere to the radical idea of conquest.

[B]

2 billion.

[A]

2 billion. 2 billion total. So 10%, what is that? 200 million. So yeah, so about roughly two thirds of the entire population of the United States is our radical Islamists around the world. 200 million. So you take 200 million and you tell me that that's a small, insignificant number because as they come into your country and they divide and conquer and they destroy. You don't need that many boots on the ground to cause chaos if you have 200 million. It's not that difficult when you're infiltrating and, and brought into a country like the, like England, you know, they go throughout Britain, they go throughout the uk they go into Italy, they go into France. It doesn't take much to upset the safety and security and stability of the region. If you go to, if you go to Canada with 30 million people and, and you, and there's already a minimum of 10 million. So we, or 10%. So we know that there's probably 3, 4, 5 million in Canada. They're already flipping the narrative in Canada anywhere you go. Now this was a scene over in Manchester. Now consider that the other night was the holiest night in the Jewish religion for Yom Kippur. And, and Jews all around the world were fasting and it was like on the last tentiment of, you know, forgiveness, you know, and starting out the new year. And what happened is that an Islamist decided that he was going to go and ram into some Jews that were walking in front of the synagogue and then go on a stabbing spree. And so there were two for sure killed. There were three that ended up in the hospital. They arrested two other guys. That guy was shot by police on the scene immediately post that there was a protest erupted by the terrorist sympathizers protesting supposedly in favor of. Of the Palestinians. But these are terrorist sympathizers that decided they were going to have a protest after the death and murder of Jews in. In Manchester. So this tells you everything that you need to know. They could give a. About their country. It's all about death, destruction, Jews and Christians. Watch your back, because this is exactly what happens.

[B]

There's no sound in that. But, you know, I don't know if you necessarily need sound to see what's.

[A]

What's that?

[B]

Chaos. There's no sound, right?

[A]

Yeah, no, there's just a bunch of people screaming and yelling and. Yeah, and everything. But. But you can. Chaos here.

[B]

You saw, he wore a fake. A fake vest of explosives because he didn't think police would shoot him. They shot him, right?

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[B]

He was thinking if I wear a fake, fake, you know, look like a. Like a suicide vest, that they wouldn't shoot him because they want to do some collateral damage. They shot him anyway. Thank God they took some action. But still, I mean, the, The. It's just. This isn't getting any better. And then you have people, like, living in fear. You know, you have Christians and Jews living in fear. It's not a good thing, Jeff. It's a horrible, horrible thing.

[A]

And then you have. And then you have these. Then you have these nut jobs. These are complete nut jobs. Now explain, explain this to me, because you have these crazies of the left, you know. Well, again, I don't have. I don't have audio. There's chanting, Free, Free Palestine.

[B]

Look at these people.

[A]

That's all they're chanting. It's just not even a Free, free Palestine. That's what they're chanting. Look at these crazies waving. You know, you think these people would be welcome. They have like zero con concept. They let them go into Gaza or any of the, Any of the. Any of the Muslim countries. The first thing they're going to do is toss them off a roof. They're not even going to be accepted and allowed. These people are crazy. On the left, they're crazy. There's. There's just zero sanity left with these people. You know, it just. It amazes me. It really does.

[B]

Yeah. Well, look at this, Jeff. This is. This is a pro Palestinian guy who is crawling up a statue to defame it. But he took a little bit of a spill here, Jeff, look at this. I'm not going to play the audio because I can't. But here he is. He's climbing up. He's on the. He's. He's on the shoulders of somebody as he attempts to pull up. Oh, yeah, he does a little slippage. Does a little bit of slippage here. So he's trying to climb, pull himself up. He's almost up to that next level. He goes to reach up and. Well, he made a bad calculation, and boom, he's done. He's out. I knocked himself out. Who knows? I mean, that did not look good at all.

[A]

I look good at all.

[B]

It was not a good. I mean, holy cow. If he landed on his head, could have broke his neck. Who knows? But, you know, don't climb up with statues. Those whose history is full of destruction, what else can they do except destroy the history of others? They hate everything that man's created. In the hard work, someone says, I'd love to boycott Palestinian products, but their only invention is their history. Wow. Holy cow. But, you know, nobody else talks about this stuff. All you hear is more, you know, fast, you know, fabrication of lies and this. Like, does any. You know, before you used to go to a library, you pull out some books, some history books. You can actually. If you look hard enough, you can actually find history. It's hard to find because if you're using something like Google. That's why AI has been so readily my go to, because if I type something there, it just gives me what I'm looking for. I don't have 40 links that aren't what I'm looking for that are advertisements for something that's close to what I'm looking for. And then I got to go to page two, and then I got to figure out, is this it? Is this it? Boom. Ask AI gives it everything that I need to see. It's done on a silver platter, and everything is. Is ready to go. You saw that dust up about Netflix. You know, Netflix is. You had Elon Musk going on a tirade saying like, hey, we gotta. We gotta ban Netflix because they're showing. I mean, they're showing stuff to kids, Jeff, that it's not stuff you should be showing to kids. Right? I mean, it's not a. You have this. Becky Weiss, who's. Who's a. Who's an outspoken lesbian, has some words for Netflix. Listen to this. Just real fast, since it's going around right now, if you allow your children.

[A]

To watch children shows with pro LGBTQ.

[B]

Messaging, you are not being a rock star. All inclusive Ally. You are grooming them. And I say that as someone who looks like this.

[A]

My son is not allowed to watch.

[B]

Anything with pro LGBTQ messaging in it. Well, D Becky, why is that? Aren't you giving super duper? Yes, but to teach a child that.

[A]

They can be gay, lesbian, bi, pan.

[B]

Yada, yada, yada, is to imply that children are sexual beings capable of having an orientation. Let that simmer for a second. Why would a child need to consider their orientation?

[A]

Furthermore, why would adults want to create.

[B]

And promote shows to help seven year olds establish their orientation?

[A]

No, no, no, you got it wrong.

[B]

It's to teach inclusivity. Negative, dumb, dumb. It is not age appropriate education. There are precisely zero reasons why a 7 year old should ask themselves the.

[A]

Question, am I gay? So if someone calls you homophobic because.

[B]

You do not allow your children to watch shows with pro LGBTQ messaging, please just keep in mind that I look.

[A]

Like this and it is not allowed in my house.

[B]

I am like, low key. A little homophobic, though. Actually really funny. Her message, she pops up on my feed all the time, but it's like, you know, she's. And this is how a lot of people from this community feel like, listen, man, it's all about when you get to be 18 years old. Yes, okay. But you know, kids think a lot of things. You know, I thought, you know, you think you're going to be whatever and you're convinced of it. Well, somebody can convince you of anything. It's like, you can't. These kids. And look at this right here. This is awesome. Jeff, Netflix will now just pump septic waste straight into your living room. So just pump. Of course, that's the Babylon be they never miss. But.

[A]

As they sit there, hey, Jeff, this, this also goes back. You know, the big question was, you know, will there be civil war? You know, but here's. This is coming right from the White House. So we had a. There was a reporter that was not just harassed, but assaulted in Portland. And so the White House responded immediately yesterday. And so Portland and potentially, you know, more cities like it will lose all federal funding. Screw them.

[B]

Just last night we saw an extremely troubling incident where conservative journalist Nick Sorter was captured on video being taken into custody custody by the Port Portland police after he was ambushed by Antifa and was defending himself from these assaults. But instead of arresting these violent mob members night after night after night who are ravaging this community, the police arrested a journalist who was there trying to document the chaos. And everyone in this room should be extremely concerned about that. The Department of Justice spoke with that journalist this morning and they will be launching a full investigation into his arrest. This incident is part of a troubling trend in Portland where left wing mobs believe they get to decide who can.

[A]

Visit and live in their city.

[B]

It is not their city.

[A]

It is the American people's city.

[B]

And President Trump is going to restore that. I just spoke with the President about this and he has directed his team here at the White House to begin reviewing aid that can potentially be cut in Portland. We will not fund states that allow anarchy. There will also be an additional surge of federal resources to Portland immediately, including enhanced CBP and ICE resources. Law and order will prevail and President Trump will make sure of it.

[A]

With that, I'll take. There you go. And that's how it works.

[B]

So it works. I saw that Nick Sorter thing. He was basically, they, they just, they, they came and they just, you know, started surrounding him. He was like just fighting back, but he was moving back the whole time. He was taking swings but moving back and then arrested him. Then you had antifa and just basically aha, laughing at him, saying stuff to him. Not a, not a word. So this is where you have the police that are complicit in this. Look at over what's happening in the UK. You've got the police that are absolutely 100% complicit. I mean, how could you be a cop and arrest somebody for a meme? I'm sorry, man. Your, your society is, is collapsing. If that's what you think. That that's, you know, where, where you are in the world. It's, it's a sad state of affairs. Katie Hopkins, who is a, as a, is a British comedian who, she spends a lot of time on this side of the pond too. She's over here. She's over there. But they wanted to arrest her. They told her to keep her mouth shut. They're not going to arrest someone like her. It just bring a lot of bad news. But here she is on. I'll let her, I'll let her talk about it. But this is good. Jeff, check this out. Can I just take a moment to have a little word of appreciation for the men surrounding President, President Donald J. Trump. I mean, nothing against the gays because.

[A]

You know, I love them.

[B]

I have an army of gay men who turn up to my stand up comedy nights. And you know how much I love a sturdy lesbian. Do you know how excited I am that Claire Balding has been named as one of the icons for Holland Cooper? I love me a study ll be a. But Trump has surrounded himself with real men. And I just want to give a shout out really to straight Men out there, you know, because the director of ice, Tom Hooman, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary for War, Bobby, for that matter. I just argue that they're doing a lot of heavy lifting in many Republican ladies marriages right now. You know what I mean? Ladies, I'm so proud because like I said, not against the gays and all the pretend straight gays, for example, you know, Macron or Zelensky or Keir Starmer or Michael Gove or it seems like Trudeau. Every leader actually ever who's always been a closet gay, but pretended to be married to some poor bint who's never had decent sex. Sex in her life. But finally we have a cabinet of really big men. And honestly, I can watch Fox News these days with the sound off. I just watch the boys, imagine them naked, dressed in nothing but a MAGA hat. And save that memory for when I need it later. Anyway, cheers. Prez, Great selection. You made too much.

[A]

That's great.

[B]

She's funny. She's usually from bat. Batshit bonkers Britain. It's like her. Her.

[A]

[B]

Yeah. So it's time to give away this yeti, boys and girls. But before we do that, everybody's been posting all kinds of funny memes. This is kind of weird. Look at here's. Here's Maxine Waters. Look at that. She even wears a sobrero and a mustache too. Jeff. Look at that. It's crazy. I actually made. I actually made one of. I gotta find it, but I made one of Elizabeth Warren. I said, as we all know. We all know what's going on. And put her in a sombrero in a mustache so I can find that.

Takes a little while.

[B]

That's beautiful. All right. So you're sending it off to. As always, Jeff. Sometimes I'll find something. Now, I don't think any of this is true, but this is what's great about AI is you can make up stories and who knows, maybe it is true. I just thought it was so weird and aie video e and gone. That's part of true.

[A]

Sorry, I sent it. It's gone. Submitted successfully. That is how efficient the XRPL is.

[B]

There you have it.

[A]

Changing we are changing worlds, changing lives. Moving product. Just like that. Moving money. We did it live here. That was Real world Utility. Instant wait till the auction Wednesday. We're we're going to list the auction again. We're have another auction that runs Wednesday. Real world utility utilizing NFT and the xrpo. Nobody else is doing that live.

[B]

No one's doing that. Nobody's doing it live. And here we go with this last video. Then we are getting out of here, guys and having a great weekend. Here we go. Passes smelly gas. Congratulations. In the middle ages, she would have been one of the most desired women. Back then, people believed that female farts were a sacred form of purification. Healers even called it the breath of virtue, a holy gas that protected the household. The most respected husbands were those who proudly embraced the spiritual power of their wives. After dinner, a loud stinky fart could drive away disease, bad energy, and even nosy visitors. Stories say that before marriage, some women had to prove their purity by farting in front of older women. If the smell was strong enough to make someone faint, it was a sign the bride was ready. Those who held it in out of fear of Being rude were seen as hiding impurities in their soul. In some villages, it was believed that a bride's gas brought prosperity and fertility. Today, this may seem strange or embarrassing because it is. But in the Middle Ages, it was celebrated. And if your wife could clear an entire room, well, your home was truly protected.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Come on. That is the weirdest stuff ever, man.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

I don't know who the hell brought that up. Oh, it's ridiculous.

[A]

Something ridiculous found.

[B]

If it can clear the entire. If it can clear the entire house, then you. That's not a good sign, dude.

[A]

History is written by the flatulence.

[B]

Right on. Yeah. It's just great. You make up all this stuff, do this AI video, make up these things. Yeah, it makes for good entertainment. But I'm like, risky. Is it risky? Is it risky? Apparently it is risky.
