Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on, Chip? What's going on? Everybody out there in the on the Chain universe, you know who you are. That one person out there, maybe his name is crypto whelp, maybe it isn't. What is going on? I'll tell you what's going on, Chip. We are talking a little bit about the L R USD integration into the ecosystem. Maybe away with XRP altogether. Maybe Ripple doesn't need it. Maybe no one else really needs the xrp. I don't know. Let's workshop that. Let's get some commentary from the people out there. Let's discuss this a little bit more in depth because Ripple's at the end. That's it.
- [00:42]
B
They're nearing the end. And something else too, Jeff, like very serious stuff here.
- [00:46]
A
Serious stuff right there at the end. That's it. Getting ready for some rocket lift off. Or maybe not, but Trump and Bukele get to meet yesterday. That was pretty epic, so to speak. Epic.
- [00:58]
B
Epic. That's what the badass yetis are. They're epic. Epic epoch. Let's do it.
- [01:08]
A
It's very serious, Matt, so stay tuned.
- [01:10]
B
Oh, it's very serious, Matt.
- [01:11]
A
Very serious. We only talk seriously.
- [01:14]
B
How serious my face is right now.
- [01:15]
A
Very serious.
- [01:16]
B
Super serious.
- [01:17]

Welcome to on the Chain. Welcome to on the Chain. Everybody welcome. Everybody please drop where you're coming in from. Say hello, tip your bartenders on the way in and on the way out and let's. Let's do this. Let's have a show. Let's do this. So I was talking. You teased it a little bit. It talked a little bit about what's going on with the. The ripple. The ripples. So what's. They are coming to an end. They. It will end. Here it is. Jimmy Filan put this out. A party's joint motion to hold the appeal and abeyance has been granted. The SEC is directed to file a status report within 60 days of this order. Now the old SEC, Jeff, they would probably wait till like the 59th day and write it and then file it on the 60th day. But that's not what I expect to happen here. So just, you know, normal stuff. But here it is right there. As stated term of the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit held to Thurgood Marshall, United States Courthouse gives the address on the 16th day of April, 2025. United U. S. The United States Securities Exchange Commission versus Ripple Labs. Brad Garlinghouse, Chris Larson, Dependence and then you got Jordan Deaton, James Lamonte, Myra Lamonte, Tyler Lamonte, Mitchell McKenna, Christine Warner, PhD, Roslyn Layton, interveners. There you go. Hereby ordered that the joint motion is granted. Signed off by Catherine O'Hagan Wolf, the clerk of the court. And then Freddie Risboli, you know, also a very trusted attorney in the space, said with this order, the next move we'll see is a filing in the district court seeking to modify Judge Taurus's order, I. E. Lifting the injunction and reducing the fine. So it's already been agreed to. Brad Garlichouse already stated that with the staff. It's already be agreed to. This is the formality of the. Of the. That has to happen. But they already sort of went through the. Yeah, so it's just. It's a formality. And this is the, like the final piece of it, which is just doing it through the court system. But they already agreed, so they'll do the. The what, John? Judge Torres will actually go ahead and lift the order or lift the injunction, and then that's when the fine gets reduced with 125. He got reduced out to 50k. And was it 50k? Was it 75? Okay, the fine was 125. Did they reduce it down to 50k? I think the 75k back. Whatever.
- [03:58]
A
125 million.
- [04:00]
B
125 million, that's right, 125 million. But they reduced it down to 50 million, I think. Right. Don't worry. Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong. That's what we do here. Michigan's in here. Saratoga, Baltimore. Yeah, 50k. No, it was 50. It was 50 million. 50 million, Chad. Sorry.
- [04:20]
A
50K.
- [04:21]
B
I don't think it turns a million. Sorry. I think in terms of K. So I'm not that. Yeah, I'm not that big on that. Intimidated by your seriousness. Oh, don't be intimidated. It's not that serious. Yeah, 50 million. LOL. Yeah. See, I pulled you into it, man.
- [04:34]
A
That's right.
- [04:35]
B
I see that, dude. Beautiful, dude. Excellent. What's going on? So this is. This is good news. It's welcome news for sure. And change.
- [04:50]
A
Definitely a change.
- [04:51]
B
Yeah. Well, it's finally winding down. Everyone's like, oh, it's taken for. I'm like, dude, it's over. It's. Oh, go home. It's done, you know, finished. It's over. I mean, this is just formality stuff. There's nothing to worry about. There's nothing to think about. You know, the new SEC is not gonna. They're not gonna pull any punches. We got the, we actually have the new chair who's gonna be seated. So I mean just give it some time. And it's like everyone's, everyone's running around all worried like oh my God, this is horrible. Please people, please, please.
- [05:23]
A
I don't have to do with it.
- [05:24]
B
So Gary Gensler made an appearance on TV today. I thought of, I was done punching and breaking TV screens. I don't even care. He's the biggest loser around. What was he talking about Matt? I mean, wonder if we could find that. Who cares really? Next time in Belgium again, beautiful.
- [05:37]
A
Gary, Gary the man.
- [05:40]
B
Gary, Gary.
- [05:43]
A
The man, the myth, the.
- [05:45]
B
Legend in his own mind, that is him. Ripple put this post on X Global business need fast low cost ways to move money. RL USD stands for Ripple US dollar is now integrated into Ripple payments enabling real time cross border payments backed by institutional grade compliance, transparency and trust. Here's the new standard you're talking about this post right here and they get into you know, what are stablecoin payments and blah blah blah. Peg it to a fiat asset reduces the price of volatility and this is probably what they ran into. The reason they probably created this Jeff, is what we used to talk about for the last five, six years which had to do with the volatility which was yeah it doesn't sound like a big deal but if you're sending $10 million and the price fluctuates by a few pennies usually XRP is pretty stable. But if it does fluctuate there's no fluctuating in a stable coin. So this is what was missing from Ripple which the stable coin, you know, so they're talking about require multi fox for businesses and financial institutions. Stable coins present an opportunity to streamline those international transactions. And unlike traditional fiat to fiat payments which can often require multiple intermediaries that pile on fees and slow settlement times. Stablecoin cross border payments are direct and settle in real time. The instant settlement capability combined with lower cost, fewer failed transactions makes them ideal asset to move around the world. So there you go. Benefits talks about smarter payments, faster, lower cost, reliable enhanced security with blockchain, you know, technology transactions are immutable, publicly verifiable and a whole new level of transparency, expanded accessibility talks a little bit about how the flow works on the rails, what to look for in a platform, you know, gets into everything. It's pretty comprehensive article Stable coins for cross border payments with Ripple of course you can buy their software and that's pretty much it. That's what it is. And they're. They are on the move. And that's. They have it. But it remains, though the XRPL can convert fiat to digital asset, digital asset to fiat. So it doesn't necessarily use xrp. It's not necessary unless it's using it for, like to burn. Maybe it's burning a little bit of XRP on the XRP ledger. That's a good question. I don't know exactly how that works. That's why I want a guy like Panos to be here when I have a question like this.
- [08:23]
A
That would be a good one.
- [08:24]
B
So he can workshop it, because Solid question. I think it needs. I don't think it definitely needs. And you see, I'm not gonna type that in because I don't want to have. I don't want us to win again. That's a badass right there. Look at that. But the Y E T. I type it in. There's five entries so far. You guys are way ahead of me, man.
- [08:43]
A
They're already kicking it up a notch.
- [08:45]
B
Peg the gold and silver. I imagine that'll come. But the problem is you got to pony up the cold and the silver to back it with. That's the thing. People are like, I want to do a gold stable coin. Great. How many do you want to release? 100 million. Okay, so you have 100 million in gold. No. Okay, well, then that's part of the issue is you need to back it with the. With needs to really be backed by gold or tokenized or something along those lines there. That's what you want to be typing in. We got six people to win. To win. Potentially win, that is. Cash is here. Look at Cash is like. Yeah, I'm on there. We got seven. Lucky number seven. All right. He's number seven. Cash velocity. That's a lucky number. Let's see if that turns out tonight. And if it does, people say it's right.
- [09:23]
A
That's cash velocity. Let's see how many times we can say cash velocity and then we'll see if it gets rigged. Cash velocity. Cash velocity entered yet?
- [09:32]
B
Thanks, Gary. I hope. Thanks Gary wins. So we can get. So we can. He can do a. Put a yeti up there. My work does. Maybe I need to talk to them. Well, there you go.
- [09:42]
A
Yeah, there you go.
- [09:43]
B
Needs a lot. There you go. We still have seven, though. So there you are. All right, so what else we have here? Well, I have to say, Jeff, this every once in a while, you're going to take some. A different opinion than Maybe somebody else. And David Schwartz, I don't necessarily know if he always believes this stuff. I think sometimes I just feel like sometimes he does it just to poke the bear. Like he doesn't really believe it, but I think he just wants to like, you know, just like mess with people so they can get a lot of people, like, responding.
- [10:16]
A
I think he does. I think he definitely does. You know, he always sets things up to get people a little because it.
- [10:22]
B
Sounds like it's teed up for just people to go off. By the way, I was one of the people that went off. I, you know, I had to.
- [10:28]
A
So there you go, Chip. It has been noted, every transaction with RO USD.
- [10:35]
B
There you go.
- [10:36]
A
10 drops.
- [10:39]
B
Well, there you have it. It does use XRP.
- [10:43]
A
Boom.
- [10:44]
B
Burns at 10 drops. Thank you for that.
- [10:46]
A
No, no big boom on that one. It's just kind of a. Not really.
- [10:50]
B
Thank you for that, John Saxon. I mean, Chad. Nauseum. Boom. All right, so let's put this up a little bit. A little bit controversial in nature, but here it is. This guy, Matthew Seagal, man, finally.
- [11:06]
A
Adrian made it.
- [11:07]
B
Yeah, about time. He says, beautiful. Yet you say let's eliminate due process for the bad guys. Is the fundamentally misunderstand what due process is. Now you really have to label who the bad guys are because bad guys could be U. S. Citizens. And I would agree wholeheartedly that that statement is true. But if anybody, a human is bad guys, then I got a problem with that, which is why I could see David Schwartz agreeing with this. However, it's like he says this a thousand times, this, so he's agreeing with it. But if you say eliminate due process for the bad guys. Well, who are the bad guys? Are we talking about the people that were just deported, Jeff? Are we talking about guys who commit, you know, a crime or a felony, who end up in prison? They're bad guys. They always get due process. Right, so it's kind of like a. It's kind of a. See, I said due processes for citizens, illegals who broke the law, get sent back home. XRP XR poop says no due process for illegal entries or immigrants. There's no other way. David short said, when you decide who's entry is illegal or who is an immigrant, who do you afford the accused due process or not?
- [12:27]
A
Well, everybody, according to different sections of the constitution, then it would say that people are given the bill of rights, you know, based on personhood, not based on citizenship.
- [12:44]
B
Wait a minute. What?
- [12:46]
A
So the, the supreme court actually ruled on this in 1903. So in 1903, the court in the Japanese immigrant case reviewed the legality of deporting an alien who had lawfully entered the U.S. clarifying that an alien who has entered the country and has become subject in all respects to its jurisdiction and a part of its population could not be deported without an opportunity to be heard upon the questions and involving his right to be and remain in the US and he said, lawfully entered, right.
- [13:17]
B
So it's very different.
- [13:18]
A
But now. But you illegally. So you broke a law. But in the decades that followed, the Supreme Court maintained the notion that once an alien lawfully. So let's underscore that again, enters and resides in the country, he becomes invested with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to all people within our borders. Eventually, the Supreme Court extended these constitutional protections to all aliens within the United States, including those who entered unlawfully, declaring that aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings confirmed conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law. The court reasoned that aliens physically present in the US Regardless of their legal status, are recognized as persons guaranteed due process of law by the fifth and fourteenth Amendment. Thus, the Court determined even one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or. Yeah, I think my. Well, the crisp is on. That's weird. I'll have to check and see if it's working.
- [14:25]
B
They come get you.
- [14:27]
A
It might be. Now, accordingly, notwithstanding Congress's indisputably broad power to regulate immigration, fundamentally fundamental due process requirements notably constrain that power with respect to aliens within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. So.
- [14:43]
B
Yeah, but that's lawfully. That's a little bit different. Somebody came in. That's a whole different story.
- [14:47]
A
Again, what I was saying, if they were illegal, it didn't matter. That was. The whole point, is that the Supreme Court ruled that all aliens within the U.S. including those who entered unlawfully, declaring that aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standard of fairness encompassed under in due process of law.
- [15:10]
B
They're going home. They're going home, Jeff. There's no other way around.
- [15:17]
A
Well, they have to go home.
- [15:17]
B
Yeah.
- [15:18]
A
They broke the law. They got their due process and they're out of here.
- [15:21]
B
Right. They're done. They got their walking papers. That's their due process right there.
- [15:25]
A
Oh, I see.
- [15:26]
B
But, you know, you gotta love what's happened in the Democrat Party, and I think it's. I hear you.
- [15:31]
A
Okay.
- [15:33]
B
I have to love. Yeah, I have to love. What's happening to the Democrat Party? Because, you know, they, they are just digging such a massive hole for themselves that you just don't come back from it. I don't think you come back from it. When you're sitting there fighting for an illegal alien. You see the headlines, Maryland man. I mean, the Maryland man whose wife got a restraining order because she was beaten so many times. Is that the Maryland man you're referring to? The one that came here? It was in a gang. Ms. 13, right? Is that the Maryland man? So this whole thing is, it's as if Trump says, you know, whatever it is, I mean, that most people would agreed with either, you know, before he was president or 10 years ago, but now it's like, oh, no, we gotta, we gotta fight this. And why? He just. Look, you look stupid. I mean, that's, you know, the bottom line is you just, you're not, you're not going to win any, anybody's favor by trying to free a guy. And meanwhile, you know, Rachel Morin was killed. She was in Maryland. She was viciously killed. And you know, Chris Van Hollen, the center, he didn't do anything. He didn't come out and say it. He's made one little statement, but meanwhile he's flying down to El Salvador to go. We just had, you know, President Bukele at the White House. This is, I have to say, he.
- [16:49]
A
Got down there and he wanted to go visit with him. Like the, the corruptive nature of the Democratship, the fact they didn't let him in. You know, Bukey's like, no, he's a citizen of this country and no, he can't leave.
- [17:02]
B
Right?
- [17:03]
A
That's it.
- [17:04]
B
And honestly, why, I mean, why would he leave? It's just the craziest thing in the world, man. I mean, it really makes zero sense.
- [17:10]
A
And he's already had due process.
- [17:13]
B
I just don't, I don't, I, I honestly just don't understand. Well, he already had a, an order so to. By the way, as I always say on all these things, like, please keep this up into the midterms. You're totally crushing it for Trump, by the way. But not for, not for your party. But, you know, it's, you have to just the. And then Chris, he said he put out a video. I'm about to board my flight. Look at this, look at this jackass. Hang on a second, let me show you this. We don't need this on here. He says, I'm about to board my flight to El Salvador where I hope to Meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Brego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check in on his condition and remind. And remind him that we won't stop fighting until he's home. They're fighting illegal.
- [18:00]
A
He is alien. Yeah. This guy should be immediately kicked out of Congress. He shouldn't even be allowed back in this country. Citizen. No citizen. He's already chosen the sign of an enemy combatant. You know, a terrorist that was in this country. You want to choose sides of terrorists, don't come back to this country.
- [18:18]
B
That's it exactly, Jeff.
- [18:19]
A
It's like the rest.
- [18:20]
B
Everyone experts, as I like to point out all the time, never interrupt your enemy when they're in the process of destroying themselves. Carry on. Sir. Good sir, please do more of this and tell it to your friends and let them have. Do more, please. You are crushing it for the wrong side, for the Republicans. But now there's no, there's, there's no wondering why. What. I'm actually surprised at this point that there's 21 people that actually still favor the Democrats. It's probably bound to go down to like, you know, less. That's right.
- [18:48]
A
Like I said, wouldn't it be funny? It gets arrested.
- [18:51]
B
Oh, would that be great. He gets thrown in jail. I'll tell you what happens there. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. This is what's gonna happen. This is the new Chris Van Holland right here. So if you see that right there, that's what it. Oh, my God.
- [19:03]
A
That's what he's gonna look like pretty soon.
- [19:05]
B
Pretty soon. That's the called the prison cats.
- [19:08]
A
Oh, my God.
- [19:09]
B
Those are prison patch right there. Right? You just get all tatted up. See, he's got the 13 on his face. It's a good job, by the way. But yeah, that's what ends up happening when you get the prison tats. The prison. He's gonna get the prison tats. So I want to talk about some of the clips when Bukele was actually at the White House. Is there. So pretty. And I gotta say, that was just epic on so many levels, man. It really was fantastic. Don't you think? It was great, Jeff, did you catch any of that?
- [19:38]
A
I did. So it was. It was super entertaining. Especially the CNN reporter. She kept trying to ask questions over and over and over again. And Bukele's sitting over there just smirking. I can't believe these guys are protecting this guy.
- [19:54]
B
I got the biggest smile on his face. He was just dying laughing, right? I Mean, he was laughing. Here's one where Rubio, you know, like, they took a multiple shots of this because, let's face it, CNN's a little bit on the thick side, Jeff. They're not the sharpest tools in the shed. Right?
- [20:08]
A
Yeah.
- [20:09]
B
They're just a little bit dense, let's put it that way. But here's Rubio in his first pass here. These are sick people. Yeah.
- [20:16]
A
I mean, Steven Eiland, I don't understand what the confusion is.
- [20:19]
B
This individual is a citizen of El Salvador. He was illegally in the United States.
- [20:24]
A
And was returned to his country.
- [20:26]
B
That's where you deport people back to.
- [20:27]
A
Their country of origin, except for Venezuela.
- [20:29]
B
That wasn't refusing to take people back in places like that.
- [20:32]
A
I can tell you this, Mr. President, no.
- [20:34]
B
The foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the President of the United States, not by.
- [20:39]
A
And no court in the United States.
- [20:41]
B
Has a right to conduct the foreign policy of the United States. It's that simple. The court specifically said he couldn't be sent back to El Salvador. The Supreme Court said exactly what Marco said, that no court has the authority to compel a foreign policy function in the United States. We won a case, nine zero. And people like CNN are portraying it as a loss, as usual, because they want foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women and children. But President Trump, Trump, his policy is foreign terrorists that are here illegally get expelled from the country, which, by the way, is a 9010 issue. Well, the president, Mr. President, you said.
- [21:12]
A
That if the Supreme Court said someone.
- [21:14]
B
Needed to be returned, that you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago.
- [21:18]
A
And they said, we have to answer. Why don't you just say, isn't it.
- [21:23]
B
Wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?
- [21:25]
A
Why can't you just say that? And that's why nobody watches you anymore. You have no credibility.
- [21:34]
B
That's. He's making a big point there. He's making a phenomenal point. But, you know, Stephen Miller is fantastic. I remember seeing him the first time spot on Boca Raton. The first time Trump ran 2015, 2016. He was one of the speakers. And I said, who is this guy? He came out, he was sharp as hell. This is the first time I ever saw Stephen Miller. But this is when he really kind of. Because, you know, I was getting hit up on X where people are like, trump lost nine zero. I'm like, dude, you got to stop it with the BBC and the CNN and the CNBC propagandist networks. Because I go, did you actually read the order? They're reading anything. Just like, they're like, they're like whatever they told me to say. But, you know, I accuse them of watching these. I don't watch the networks. Well, you plug into these leftist narratives. But here is Stephen Miller, you know, totally putting on a clinic right here. And so all I had to do is to respond with this. The people who said, hey, but he lost 9 0. Dude, it was 9 0. When have we had 90 rulings, right? In modern days, it's very rare. But here he is, you know, punching CNN right in the throat.
- [22:41]
A
Would you answer that question? Amazing.
- [22:45]
B
So, as Pam mentioned, there's an illegal alien from El Salvador. So with respect to you, he's a citizen of El Salvador. So it's very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point, as two immigration courts found that he was a member of Ms. 13. When President Trump declared Ms. 13 to be a foreign terrorist organization, that meant that he was no longer eligible under federal law, which I'm sure, you know, you're very familiar with the ima, that he was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief in the United States. So he had a deportation order that was valid, which meant that under our law, he's not even allowed to be present in the United States and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation. This issue was then by district court judge completely inverted. And a district court judge tried, tried to tell the administration that they had to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador and fly him back here. That issue was raised to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed 90 unanimously stating clearly that neither Secretary of State nor the president could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador, who again is a member of Ms. 13, which is, I'm sure you understand, rapes little girls, murders women, murders children, is engaged in the most barbaric activities in the world. And I can promise you, if he was your neighbor, you would move right away. So you don't plan, but the Supreme Court's asking to.
- [24:21]
A
And what was the ruling in the Supreme Court, Steve? Was it nine to nothing? The questions are so this is.
- [24:27]
B
This, this is so great. Trump says, yeah, Stephen, what was. Please tell us what the. What the Supreme Court, what was decision? Was it 9 to 0? He's totally trolling these people so bad. This is Fantast asking to.
- [24:39]
A
And what was the ruling in the Supreme Court, Steve? Was it nine to nothing?
- [24:43]
B
Yes, it was a nine.
- [24:44]
A
Zero in our favor.
- [24:45]
B
In our favor against the district court ruling saying that no district court has the power to compel the foreign policy function of the United States. As Pam said, the ruling solely stated that if this individual at El Salvador's.
- [24:58]
A
Sole discretion was sent back to our.
- [25:01]
B
Country, that we could deport him a second time. Well, no version of this legally ends up with an ever living here because.
- [25:07]
A
He is a citizen of El Salvador.
- [25:09]
B
That is the president of El Salvador. Your questions about it for the court can only be directed to him. It just totally just takes it the task. What a clinic, dude. What a massive clinic you put on there.
- [25:19]
A
Did laugh. Is saying there are illegal US people in other countries. Those countries should send them to El Salvador. Well, that. But that's not what happened. This guy was El Salvadorian, so he was sent back to his country. That's the point if there's Americans in other places. Take Mexico for instance. If you go into Mexico illegally, and I know it firsthand or secondhand, I know someone that actually ended up on the other side of the border in Mexico legally. But you know, they said that this person was there illegally and put them in prison, put them in jail, and it took an act of. Of the embassy to get them out of jail, out of Mexico. So Americans do get arrested. There's all sorts of things that happen in other countries because of the lack of due process in other countries where. Whereas this country actually has true due process. And you know, a scenario like this, this person had already been to court over and over and over again. So you get to a point where, hey, you transgress again, you're not even supposed to be here. You're here illegally, you're out. That's it. You know, and that's the whole point is it's just. It's so amazing.
- [26:31]
B
I'm gonna go a little bit off sub topic here, but you see the guy standing right over the shoulder of Stephen there? The guy that's like 7 foot 4 inches there, that dude with the beard. Yeah. Like I'm like, that guy looks so familiar. Who the hell does that guy look like? And I thought about Superman 2. You remember the three criminals in Superman 2? Yeah. So let me just. Let me see if I can stop sharing this for a second because I don't think it's gonna. But look at this. Tell me if this reminds little bit of this dude right here. Here we go. All right, let's share this. Ready? Kind of looks just like. I thought that was him.
- [27:07]
A
Oh, my God.
- [27:08]
B
I said, damn. He's. I'm like, he's standing in the. In the freaking Oval Office there. I'm like, that's. It's pretty incredible, dude. Right away. Look at him right there. You see him? Yeah. It's just like the dude, right? Man, I knew I knew him somewhere.
- [27:27]
A
Showing your age, Chip.
- [27:29]
B
Of course I'm an old dude. Nobody listen. I. But you can be fans of old movies. I can tell you. I can tell you great stories about movies in the 40s and 50s where I wasn't born either, but.
- [27:38]
A
Exactly.
- [27:39]
B
But the sad thing is you knew exactly what I was talking about. So there you go. Speaking of age, you knew exactly what I was talking about. I mean, you don't have to watch, you know, you don't have to be around. You can appreciate music from different eras without having to live through it.
- [27:54]
A
Chad is saying the Democrats picked the worst hill to die on. Just say, well, you know what? They do it. You know, they did it. They do it multiple times. They've done it multiple times. You know, you just look at the whole thing with the, you know, the police violence and all the racial divide. That was all the Democrats doing. They take a stance. They're trying to do it again. They're trying to get the momentum behind this guy to try to turn the vote and turn the people again against Trump. It's not going to work this time. Nobody cares. You know, it's like the boy that cried wolf. They've cried wolf so many times. This time, no one's listening to them. They're like, good riddance. This guy belongs in jail. He was sent back to El Salvador where he belongs. The president of El Salvador is like, look, I can't bring him back to this country. What do you want me to do?
- [28:39]
B
It's. It's insane. So here's President Bukele. He chimes in on it, and we're very happy and we're very eager to help. We know that you have a crime problem, a terrorism problem that you need help with, and we're a small country, but if we can help, we will do it. And we actually turned the murder capital.
- [29:03]
A
Of the world, that was the journalist college, right?
- [29:06]
B
Murder capital of the world, to the safest country in the Western hemisphere. And, you know, they. Sometimes they say that we inquisitive thousands. I like to say that we actually liberated millions. So, you know, like, it's very good.
- [29:23]
A
Who gave him that line.
- [29:24]
B
Do you think I can use. That is a great line, man.
- [29:29]
A
That was a good one.
- [29:30]
B
That's a great line. I like, liberated millions. He goes, like, you liberated 350 million. That's a good. Who gave him that line? That's a good line. That's fantastic. And then Bukele, I mean, think about this dude. So Bukele, on his own X account, puts up this video, and it's more Americana than something anybody and then the media would actually put up, right? He's from El Salvador. He puts up a video. You almost didn't think that it was produced here in the U.S. but no, here is something. Here's his tribute and marking his time in the U.S. and here it is. Check this out. Mr. President.
- [30:43]
A
Pretty close.
- [30:45]
B
Pretty shutter. Trump, your message to Christians during this Holy week, sir. Start of Holy Week.
- [30:53]
A
You have a message for Christians, sir.
- [30:55]
B
During the Holy Week. Mr. President, how are you? Good to see you. Welcome. Thank you.
- [31:04]
A
Nice to see you again.
- [31:14]
B
By the way, they took a picture of what he wrote. He goes, he goes, dear President Trump, El Salvador loves you. Psych. We still hate you, Biden. That's not what he wrote. I'm sure he didn't write any of that. That's nonsense, Jeff. Can't believe you thought of it. Now, what I love, too. What's different about Trump too. Do you see how they. They welcome foreign dignitaries and foreign leaders. They have the entire staff lined up. The whole entire staff meets them. You didn't just come in, you know, put. Bring him in a back door and treat him like a pile of dirt. Like. Yeah, like what happened most of the time with, you know, Netanyahu when he showed up at the White House, they brought him to the back door. There's no fanfare. Treat him like a, like dirt. And. Yeah, but you see, like the whole entire. The senior staff is there. They all say hello, and then he goes over and says hello to his staff, all the people, like the Minister of, you know, foreign relations here.
- [32:11]
A
Minister of Foreign affairs, the ambassador.
- [32:13]
B
Very good.
- [32:15]
A
Minister of Justice, Minister of Defense. Hi. How are you? Advisor. We do. Very young man now. He's just a young man. He's done a fantastic job. Mr. President, it's an honor to have you.
- [32:42]
B
Thank you, Mr. Incredibly, for your country.
- [32:46]
A
And we appreciate working with you because.
- [32:49]
B
You want to stop crime, and so do we.
- [32:52]
A
And it's very, very effective. And I wanted to say hello to the people of El Salvador and say they have one hell of a president. Okay.
- [33:01]
B
And I mean that. And I know him well.
- [33:03]
A
I know him as a very young man, Marco, even younger than you. You know, he started pretty young. Young at heart. But I want to thank you for the great job you're doing. Thank you.
- [33:19]
B
Thank you.
- [33:20]
A
Well, it's an honor to be here.
- [33:22]
B
In the Oval Office with the President and leader of the real world. We're very happy and we're very eager to help. We know that you have a crime problem and a terrorism problem that you need help with. And we're a small country, but if we can help, we can do it. And we actually turned the murder capital of the world, that was the journalist college, where murder capital of the world, into the safest country in Western Hemisphere.
- [33:51]
A
And, you know, if they.
- [33:54]
B
Sometimes they say that we imprisoned thousands, I like to say that we actually liberated millions. So, you know, like, it's very good.
- [34:05]
A
Who gave him that land? Do you think I can use that? Yes.
- [34:08]
B
Yes. And in fact. In fact, Mr. President, you have 350 million people to liberate. But to liberate 350 million people, you have to imprison some. You know, that's the way it works, right? You cannot just, you know, free the criminals and think crimes are going to go down magically. You have to imprison them so you can liberate 350 million Americans that are asking for the end of crime and the end of terrorism. And it can be done. I mean, they're doing it already. So I'm really happy to be here.
- [34:38]
A
Honored and eager to help.
- [34:41]
B
Well, we had a terrible thing happen.
- [34:43]
A
We had an administration that allowed people to come in freely into our country from not only South America, but from all over the world. We're a great country, but we had stupid people running this country. And I can say what they've done to us at the border should never and can never be forgotten. It's a sin what they did. And you are helping us out, and we appreciate it.
- [35:09]
B
Thanks. Thank you. Actually, what you're doing with the border is remarkable. He has dropped, what, 95%. Listen. This. And this one. It's incredible.
- [35:21]
A
As of this morning, 99%.
- [35:25]
B
99.1%, to be exact. Why is those numbers not in the media?
- [35:29]
A
Well, they get up at the fake.
- [35:30]
B
News, you know, like CNN over here.
- [35:33]
A
Doesn'T want to put them out because they don't like. They don't like putting out good numbers. They only like putting out because I think they hate our country. Actually.
- [35:40]
B
That was great. Was. Cnn actually had to do a piece where they came out here and they played this bit, and they said, cnn does not hate the country. Like, he actually got them to go on here and say that they didn't hate the country. I'm like, what? How epic a moment.
- [35:53]
A
I have a great relationship with this man. I have the best relationship with him. We've. I've known him since he was a very young man. As I said, very, very young.
- [36:04]
B
And I was impressed.
- [36:06]
A
I said, look how this guy is. In fact, you sort of look like a teenager. You look like a teenager.
- [36:13]
B
I said.
- [36:17]
A
Thank you. He grew up. He grew up. Well, in the last five years.
- [36:23]
B
Remember the words. You hear him say that?
- [36:25]
A
Yeah.
- [36:26]
B
Yeah. What a numbskull. Remember the word. Numbskull. Oh, my God.
- [36:30]
A
Oh, my God.
- [36:31]
B
That was the best five years.
- [36:32]
A
What a numbskull.
- [36:34]
B
Remember the word. Great. Amazing. Great meeting. Yeah. Thank you. Amazing.
- [37:03]
A
Ready, close, ready, shut.
- [37:07]
B
Hand salute. That's more American than freaking the. That you see on cnn. There you go, dude.
- [37:24]
A
You remember that? You remember that? That was. You remember Wolf Blitzer? I remember the. The air raid siren went off and the guys on camera and freaked out, and he went diving across the screen to get a helmet or something.
- [37:36]
B
I was working late.
- [37:37]
A
He went to get a gas mask. Oh. He goes, oh, my God, the air raid thing. And he's, like, fumbling around. He puts a gas mask on. He was all terrified at the time.
- [37:46]
B
Working at gm, and we were working late. I was working with a buddy of mine. We were at those stupid cubes or whatever, and he looks over at me, he goes, dude, you're not gonna believe what just happened. I'm like, what happened? He goes, we just. The war just started. I'm like, what war? I was like. He's like, yeah, Rack. I was like, what? Like, it was literally when we were like, you know, we're still working. We're like, all right, forget working. Let's see what's going on.
- [38:05]
A
Yep. All right.
- [38:06]
B
That's right, baby.
- [38:07]
A
Then we got this comment here. Doge, Doge, Dodge Charger.
- [38:12]
B
Doge Charger.
- [38:16]
A
Seeing the Doge. Never selling all my xrp. But there's some real BS going on with this coin. I'm so glad that I invested in many other promising assets. Thanks, guys. Your channel is diversified, dude.
- [38:27]
B
Always diversify. Good man. Always diversify. It's always the way you should do it. You should diversify. Here's. Here's Tom Homan. I love this guy. This guy's no bs. Like, he's never gonna.
- [38:39]
A
He called it Tom, too.
- [38:41]
B
Yep. Here we go. Hell, let's Bring in the man himself. Borders are. Tom Holman joins us now. Tom, I just want to focus on one portion. When the senator said he's already pissed, dude, he's already ready to lay somebody out. He's already ready to lay somebody. Look at his face. He was abducted.
- [38:58]
A
Serious all the time.
- [38:59]
B
As the former leader of ice, what do you say to him? He wasn't abducted. He's an MS.13 gang member classified as a terrorist that was removed from this country. So we got rid of a dangerous person. An El Salvadoran national was returned to the country of El Salvador. So he's home. We removed him from the United States. He's a public safety threat. Exactly what should have happened. And I'm just disgusted that any congressional representative is going to run to El Salvador at his aid. When yesterday I read in his state, an illegal alien charged with murder was released back into the community and ICE detainer wasn't honored and ICE had to go find him in his state. In his state, the murder of Rachel Murran yesterday. Listen to the testimony and listen to the mother on Haney last night. If you're not human, then your heart wasn't broken. It's just in his state. But rather than taking care of the constituents in his state, the victims of illegal crime in his state, he's going to run to El Salvador to protect Ms. 13 terrorists. It's just disgusting. You just talked about that sound from Patty Moore and Rachel's mom. We actually have it. Let's play it. I'm very angry. I'm actually outraged, but I'm too sad at the moment to show anger. At the same time, there was no action on the Democrat Democratic Party in any way from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Mayor.
- [40:30]
A
Anyone here in Maryland.
- [40:32]
B
None of the senators did anything to help search for the murderer of my daughter. Tom, where were the phone calls? Where were the congressional delegations at her funeral supporting her family when she was killed? They don't care. They don't care. Further on in the testimony, in her interview, she talks about how her young daughter died, how she suffered, how she fought for her life, just like in Riley, you know, for how long? 17 minutes. She fought for her life. That young girl didn't want to die. So these congressmen and senators, how do these women die? Look how they fought for their lives. Do they have daughters? Do they. Do they have any care at all for American citizens that are victims of these crimes? But they're loud and screaming now about this MA13 gang. I mean, where were they when we had 12 million illegal aliens coming across the border. Where were they when we had 600% increase in sex trafficking? Where were they when we had 4,000 aliens dying, making this journey under Joe Biden? Where were they with a quarter million Americans died from fentanyl. It's just ridiculous. Every day I can't believe what I'm hearing. Yesterday I hear about a case in Washington state. Two illegal aliens in Venezuela kidnapped and tortured and tried to kill a woman, robbing her, using a power drill, torturing her, drilling through her hand. Every day I sit at the White House and hear these cases of sanctuary cities not helping ICE remove public safety threats from their communities. Well, Tom, the proof is in the pudding. And I mean, Jeff, it's insane, right? Imagine this guy. It's just, it's so. They're so far. Like, do you ever think they would be lobbying to bring back a criminal, a gang member, a, A designated terrorist? Like, do they. Are they that tone deaf that they can't read the room? Like they can't see that this isn't resonating with anybody?
- [42:21]
A
Well, I think, you know, if you look at the history over the past four plus years, the Democrats have lost the narrative and they have been supporting, look at the causes. They've been supporting everything. They're on the wrong side of, of reason that they're on the wrong side of the law. They've, they've supported criminals for a long time. You know, they, you know, you look at the protests on the college campuses, you know, look what they're protesting on behalf of a terrorist entity. You know, after they, they murdered, you know, 1200 Israelis in the streets, and yet the, the Democrats, you know, come in support of, of that cause, you know, and then they've supported, you know, they were the anti. Anti white, you know, racial, racial division. This is what the Democrats have stood for. And this is, you know, something. The reason why this has to be talked about so succinctly, we have to show this is because you have to understand, look at what they, they decimated crypto. Crypto was on the verge of, of, of, of complete failure, right? Because of them, at their hands, they would have brought crypto in this country anyways to its knees. That was their objective. That's exactly what Gary Genza was doing. The, the FBI was, you know, practicing lawfare. The, the border quote unquote, borders are, was opening the borders to flood this country with illegals. Because at the, since the Obama era, you know, through the COVID issue into Biden and the attempt of the insurrection and the undermining of the first, of the first term of Trump, because that was a true insurrection. When they actually tried to take him down, they tried everything they could. They tried to eat. They illegally usurped our voting system and they took the vote away in 2020, that's an insurrection. What happened on January 6th was not an insurrection. When you go there and purposely undermine our, the integrity of our electoral system, which they did in 2020, and there's enough proof. I don't care if the media doesn't want to talk about it. I don't know if all these people, if there's enough evidence out there, everyone knows it. Everybody's seen it. You know, they know the evidence is out. That stuff has to be talked about. Because when those people are in office and you and I talked about it, people were so irrational in the crypto community that they actually thought that if, if Kamala Harris Hoop was also put in place, you know, against the constitutional, against the Constitution, you know, put her into a position where she was just appointed a candidate. You can't just appoint a candidate. The one person who was the least likely to run as a president, presidential candidate was appointed to the position, appointed, you know, and so these are the people that were in power. And yet the, the, the irrational members of the crypto community actually thought that somehow they were going to have a turning point and these Democrats would then support crypto and blockchain tech in this country. You know, so then may, you have to start thinking, you know, how many people within the crypto community, in the community are actually studying all aspects of the thing, you know, that's actually passionate to. That. That they have a passion for, right? So when you look at finance, you have to look at the politics of it. If you look at the politics of it, you have to look at both domestic and international. If you don't look at domestic and international influence and you don't understand how the pieces are moving, don't come out and talk, you know, don't invest in anything either. Because if you're going to invest in anything and you don't understand how all the pieces are moving around the puzzle here, you know, then, you know, I, I think it's super problematic. You know, it just, it's crazy to me, you know, that you have to look at all aspects of this, you know, that that's my, that's my take on it, and people are gonna, you know, disagree and say, I'm only looking at the financial aspect. But I guarantee you go into the other. Go into Wall Street. And these guys look at every ad. They look at the news. They're reading everything. They understand the power. Why is Nancy Pelosi so wealthy? Is it because we're gonna find a financial genius or is it because she got insider information that was politically driven? You know, plus they give them a lot of stuff. You know, there's all these different elements that, you know, we have to really, truly understand. And, you know that that's what's critical with all of this.
- [46:48]
B
Keep going, Jeff. He loves it.
- [46:50]
A
That's it.
- [46:50]
B
Otc. Off the hook, baby. Off. Nancy, Crazy Nancy.
- [46:55]
A
It.
- [46:56]
B
We did it, Joe. We did it. We did it. They sure did it. All right.
- [47:02]
A
Crypto is political. That's right. It's a hundred percent. And the whole point then, Chip, is also Brad Garland house. How long, how long did it take us to let everybody know out there that, you know, that Brad Garland house was maga?
- [47:18]
B
And we talked about this one's to declare it. Right?
- [47:20]
A
We're first ones to declare that. And the first ones to declare that the lawsuits against, against Ripple had nothing to do with anything but politics. It was all about the political orchestration and, and the power struggle, you know, and yet, you know, people still. I'm amazed that people still don't get it. It just. It's mind boggling.
- [47:40]
B
Yeah.
- [47:40]
A
And this is, this is really important.
- [47:43]
B
Maryland mom killed by an Illegal criminal case. Zero minutes on television. Ms. 13, gang member, MD dad, 64 minutes in coverage. Right.
- [47:53]
A
That's how they slant it. They. Oh, it always has to be. Oh, he was a dad. Okay, great.
- [47:58]
B
Called him a Maryland. What do you call them? A Maryland resident. Maryland resident Patty Warren talked today at the press conference. This is the mom of Rachel Moran, who got up and talked. It's just common sense. Why are we not protecting our children? Right? Why? And to have a senator from Maryland.
- [48:19]
A
Who didn't even acknowledge or barely acknowledged.
- [48:22]
B
My daughter and the brutal death that.
- [48:26]
A
She endured, leaving her five children without.
- [48:31]
B
A mother and now a grandbaby without a grandmother so that he can use.
- [48:37]
A
My taxpayer money to fly to El.
- [48:40]
B
Salvador to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen. Why does that person have more right than I do or my daughter or my grandchildren? I don't.
- [48:58]
A
I don't understand this.
- [49:01]
B
She's right, Jeff. And here she is. So this is something that happened right at the end of the press conference. This is even more powerful. It's a little bit hard to hear, but Carolyn Levitt, the press secretary, she gets off Stage and then you hear it. Here it is.
- [49:13]
A
We'll see you all later.
- [49:14]
B
The president will be at his dinner later this evening. Thank you.
- [49:17]
A
Thank you for being here this morning.
- [49:19]
B
Thank you.
- [49:24]
A
Thank you.
- [49:25]
B
Please tell the truth. Tell the truth? Yeah. She says please tell the truth. Just tell the truth. This is a problem.
- [49:37]
A
Protecting our children. It's more than just politics or votes or just anything.
- [49:45]
B
It's about national security, protecting Americans, protecting our children. Thank you.
- [49:52]
A
Thank you for listening, man.
- [49:57]
B
It's insane, man.
- [49:58]
A
It really. How am I supposed to play a yeti commercial after that?
- [50:02]
B
It's tough, Jeff. I guess you want me to put on something funny first? Yes or no? You want to put something?
- [50:09]
A
I would just put it.
- [50:10]
B
So anyway, so I'll put this up, but this is Chris Holland. He gave a press conference when he was down in El Salvador. This is him right here. Hi, my name is Chris Van Hollen.
- [50:18]
A
And I'm a U.S. senator from the state of Maryland.
- [50:26]
B
Nobody really gives a about me where I come from. So I decided to get in the news and save.
- [50:32]
A
And an MS.13 gang banger who beats his wife.
- [50:36]
B
El White Boy esta mucho loco dise gue quiere de varzon criminal back to El America. So I came to El Salvador in order to go into the jail and.
- [50:47]
A
See the MS.13 gangbanger.
- [50:54]
B
But they told.
- [50:55]
A
Me to go fuck myself and that they would only listen to President Trump. They seem to love Trump out here.
- [51:02]
B
That's right. El Salvador's mega country. I don't know who does that ship.
- [51:09]
A
I don't know. It's so funny.
- [51:11]
B
All right, now you can roll that yeti commercial, man.
- [51:17]
A
It was all serious, too. We're getting fired up. Passionate. We'd have to. Have to get a. Like a political commercial or something.
- [51:24]
B
Yeah, do it, dude.
- [51:25]
A
Here we go in a badass yeti.
- [51:30]
B
From the blue Tribe. What's the word of the day, Yeti? Hey, you got your diamond wallet ready?
- [51:42]
A
Why?
- [51:43]
B
Cause this one is gonna. It's time to claim your legendary Blue Tribe yeti from the clan Spirit Walkers. His name Storm Varg.
- [52:00]
A
Let's go.
- [52:06]
B
On the chain. Badass yetis born for battle. Made for legends. Damn, Jeff, how was that?
- [52:36]
A
That one is pretty kick ass. I like that one.
- [52:40]
B
By the way, who mentioned Tish James in there? Somebody mentioned Tis James.
- [52:44]
A
Oh, you heard? You heard. You know she's in trouble.
- [52:48]
B
She's in trouble for what? She accused Trump of James Amazing. James Wood put this commentary. I was looking for who put that up there, but look at this. He Said the best headline since the one I read in college, which will never be topped. A tish. Best served coal instead of a dish. This is beautiful.
- [53:08]
A
Oh, my God.
- [53:09]
B
So she's in trouble for mortgage fraud. How. How freaking. I mean, man, karma is a. Isn't it? It can really come back and ty yeti. There we go. Let's bring the tired.
- [53:24]
A
So Matt asked a good question. Is there a way to establish rarity, like with the Blue tribe for the white trip? I think they made a mistake.
- [53:30]
B
They made a mistake. I gotta get in touch with them because the white tribe does have rarities, and I gotta. I gotta reach out, set up for rarities going on there, because something clearly is not right there. I don't know what it is, but something's clearly not right. So, Jeff, there was a big Supreme Court decision in the uk and it went differently than I expected, but it went a pretty cool way. So let's listen to this. This was. They were. It was in the court to define what a woman is, and here it is. Unanimous decision of this court is that the terms woman and sex in The Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex. This will forever be a historic day for women's rights in the uk. Oh, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack for a second there.
- [54:18]
A
But there we go.
- [54:19]
B
Women or woman means biological woman. It means being an adult human female in the law. Take that, trans rights activists and men who want to come into women's spaces. There you go. This. Hey, man, the world's turning around. Things are, you know, again, this is all coming around, man. It's starting to write itself. What's going on, Rain? It's been a while, my man. Geez.
- [54:43]
A
Have you been a while?
- [54:45]
B
Gosh, we should bring rain on here. We need to have Rain on the program. Rain here. So we need to do this. Scooby Doo doo. Hey, hey, Scoob. Freaking. He calls him Hoddle. You're still gonna notice he's still calling you Hoddle.
- [55:03]
A
Known as Hoddle Forever.
- [55:05]
B
Known as Hoddle Forever, dude.
- [55:06]
A
Right?
- [55:07]
B
If you haven't been here in a while, Rain, it's. It's morphed into a crypto and geopolitics podcast. A little bit of crypto tossed in there, but it's all connected. We've been seeing this for years, Jeff. Have we? Have we not? We've been trying to talk about this for years.
- [55:22]
A
We've been trying to tell everybody.
- [55:24]
B
You've been trying to tell everybody. But just. Just to go show you what a douchebag this guy is. Chris Van Holland. This is. He actually posted this himself. This is. He posted it right. Listen to this.
- [55:36]
A
Landed at the airport in San Salvador.
- [55:38]
B
A little while ago.
- [55:38]
A
I'm now on route into the city. Looking forward to meeting with the team.
- [55:44]
B
From the American embassy. And I do want to thank our foreign service officers and the whole team.
- [55:49]
A
At this embassy and embassies around the world for all the good work they do on behalf of our country.
- [55:56]
B
I'm proud to co chair the bipartisan foreign service caucus that stands up for.
- [56:01]
A
The men and women who are serving our country overseas and at home in the state department.
- [56:08]
B
After that, I hope to meet with.
- [56:10]
A
Some high level government officials from El Salvador. As I've said before, the goal of my visit is to talk to people.
- [56:18]
B
Here about the release of Kilmar. Hey, squadoosh. Maybe you missed president Bukele in the White House yesterday who said he's not going back. Maybe you could have avoided that whole trip down there. But we know this is grandstanding and just gaslighting the American public because that's what you guys do. Garcia.
- [56:34]
A
I told his wife and his family I would do everything possible to bring him home. And we're going to keep working at this until we're successful.
- [56:43]
B
I also hope. How fast do you think he's gonna abandon this? He's gonna work at it till he's successful. I think it ended today.
- [56:51]
A
And work out it until he gets home. That'll be the end of it.
- [56:55]
B
He just was like he was. By the way, I chaired the foreign services community. I For this and I want to talk about like he tried. It was like a commercial, bro. He's already home.
- [57:02]
A
Yeah, that's right.
- [57:04]
B
Well, the criminal is home for sure. I mean, absolutely. I mean, oh my God, what a squadoosh. I mean, he's out there going off and what do you say?
- [57:15]
A
YouTube was banned because of politics. So. Yes, you're both right. It's all connected.
- [57:19]
B
Yeah, well, don't say that too loud, Ray. Keep it to yourself. Don't be giving. Don't be giving any ideas out. We don't want to see any attitude. So do you know that blue origin fight that went up? Tim Waltz. No more tampon.
- [57:34]
A
Tim Waltz is also a weirdo.
- [57:36]
B
You know the. The blue origin. The flight went up Bezos thing. It's kind of like. I guess it goes up in lower space or something. Yeah, there's these women dressed up like someone said.
- [57:46]
A
Probably took one up into orbit.
- [57:47]
B
They said it probably Took a longer to put the hair and makeup on and get all done up. That took them to put the spacesuits on. And I've never seen somebody go into space without a space helmet, right? They had.
- [57:58]
A
They're like jump around the capsule though. So yeah, they go right up to the edge and then they come back, right?
- [58:03]
B
It's kind of like.
- [58:04]
A
But maybe they had it down inside the thing.
- [58:06]
B
I don't. I don't know. It goes up and then it gradually starts coming down. As it's coming down, that's when the wait listing happens. But you know, Gail, Oprah's best friend, was saying that she was disgusted because people were calling it a ride. I'm like, dude, it's all right. It's like that slingshot ride. You get in, it slingshots you up and you come back. It's kind of like that. It just goes a little bit higher. But she goes, I like to refer to it as a journey. And they all just squander. But anyway, I started following this girl on Tick Tock. She's fantastic, by the way. I was like, I got the name. Listen to this commentary. Jeff, tell me if this isn't spot on. Listen. Cringiest moments from the all female SpaceX flight to space, starting with this dick shaped rocket. First we got the whole ringing of the bell slash catwalk into the rocket. Apparently ringing the bell, it's like a traditional thing that astronauts like actual astronauts do. Not these broads who I guarantee spent.
- [59:00]
A
More time in hair and makeup than.
- [59:02]
B
They did actually preparing to go to space. Then there was this moment of girl power. Take up space. Take up space and resources and money that could be used to end world hunger. Yes, girl power. What was the point of bringing a flower to space? Like you picked a flower just to do this. Like this is. I'm embarrassed for my gender with all the stupid little trinkets they brought into the rocket. This next one isn't so much cringe as it is just hilarious. Like listening to these broad scream as they land. They sound like a bachelorette party.
- [59:49]
A
Perhaps the most cringe of all is.
- [59:51]
B
All their comments when they got back to Earth. Like Lauren Sanchez, who had this to say. Connected.
- [59:56]
A
More connected than.
- [59:58]
B
Than you you realize because it was the duck lip brigade, Jeff. They all held the duck.
- [60:03]
A
All right. Botox lips.
- [60:08]
B
So what it was was I. My lips are so big sometimes it's hard to talk, Jeff. I mean, it really is. I mean, the duck lips and I mean, this is Bezos's girlfriend. I think it really, it really is. You just see right here, you see.
- [60:24]
A
Like, you know, states.
- [60:25]
B
If you're gonna go up in space, like just someone have somebody write you a statement. Nothing long, just something that sounds halfway intelligible, right? He would say, like, it was incredible, the journey we took. And it just goes to show you how we can all come to, I don't know, something. It was great. And they were like, Pete. And they're like. And all these things. And I'm like, what the hell? This girl's looked at her face and all these things that, like, divide us. In your moment of clarity, did you realize you should stop getting facial surgery? Because there's a lot of division in the harmony of your face from the chin to the lips. Girl, stop. Katy Perry takes the cake for the most cringe. Super connected to love.
- [61:04]
A
So connected to love.
- [61:06]
B
I think this experience. Your love of what, Money? Excess? How much love is inside of you. Like, how much that's. That's inside of you. The cringiest of all was probably when she kissed Earth girl. I just want to, like, shove her face in there.
- [61:24]
A
That's the best, though.
- [61:25]
B
It's fantastic. I started. I went down a rabbit hole. I watched like 50 of her. Of her tick tocks. They're all like that. She mostly makes fun of Rachel Ray and the. She cooks. That's even hilarious when she goes. Or why she's making stuff. God, I never thought that could be so entertaining.
- [61:38]
A
Look at this funny comment from Zed. Imagine the two astronauts stuck in space for nine months watching Katy Perry kiss the ground. Have to be in space for 10 minutes.
- [61:49]
B
And you know what? This Space origin, they got more like they were. They were basically stranded for nine months. They come back there, there's no coverage. Like, I had to watch it on.
- [61:57]
A
None. Yeah.
- [61:58]
B
Remember I was in Vegas. I had to watch it on, like, on. On, like, online or something. I couldn't find it anywhere. Nobody was covering.
- [62:04]
A
Was on, like, the NASA channel. I don't know what it was on.
- [62:07]
B
Yeah.
- [62:08]
A
Finally came up and opened the thing.
- [62:11]
B
Meanwhile, these broads come here and it's like, Jesus, you were. To think, you know, the Second Coming here. It's crazy. Look at this right here. This is what I love about our Australian friends. I don't know what network this. Matt, maybe you can let us know what this is. Pretty sure this is an Australian tv, because they are. They're conservative as hell. And I didn't think that was allowed in Australia, but here we go.
- [62:29]
A
You know, the only reason anyone not.
- [62:31]
B
Stuck at an airport watches CNN these days is to cease. Scott Jennings. Here he is with CNN host Abby Phillips. Seven million means that they're not just going after criminals.
- [62:41]
A
Well, they're going after people who are in the country illegally, right?
- [62:44]
B
Yeah. No, but I'm saying the criminals. This is a much bigger universe.
- [62:49]
A
Doesn't that make you a criminal?
- [62:50]
B
No, it doesn't.
- [62:51]
A
To come across the border illegally, coming.
- [62:53]
B
Into the country illegally is a civil offense. It's not a criminal offense.
- [62:57]
A
Okay, if you come into the country illegally, here's the message. We're going to find you and send you back. Oh, Abby.
- [63:02]
B
Coming across the border illegally is a criminal offense. Let's have a look at Scott Jennings now effortlessly toying with Anna Navarro. Talk about an intellectual mismatch. Honestly, if it was Kamala Harris behaving this way, they'd call her hormonal and hysterical. Right?
- [63:20]
A
Look, we'd have to get elected to be.
- [63:22]
B
But. Well, yes, and if you had been elected and she Clinton have been elected, if any woman had been elected and been been acting this way, they'd say it was menopause.
- [63:31]
A
You would have never stood up to China. So this is a mood issue. Right.
- [63:35]
B
And let's check in with one of Anna's co hosts on the View. Here's Whoopi Goldberg. She seems to think that the Trump administration, you know, the one that won in a landslide, winning every swing state, winning the popular vote, winning the electoral college, 312 to 200. Apparently, according to Whoopi, they only represent a very narrow band of people.
- [63:58]
A
All you countries who watch us, this is not our wish.
- [64:03]
B
No, it's not. Well, it was our wish. It's everything we voted for.
- [64:07]
A
We don't like it. Who cares what other people think, how it's being like? We don't like how this is being done. That's why you will hear us fetching about this as long as we are able, because no one we're talking to understands what's going on. And therefore, when they say America, they're not talking about us. They are talking about that very narrow band of America that they think they represent.
- [64:32]
B
Back to cnn. This is how you handle an interview with cnn, Especially if they start quoting another fake news outlet like the Washington Post. Let's hear from Senior Director for Counterterrorism, Dr. Sebastian Gorkha.
- [64:45]
A
Last month, the Washington Post reported that the freeze on US Foreign assistance assistance.
- [64:50]
B
In Africa threatened programs intended to counter Al Shabaab bombmakers. Are those cuts still in place? Are you concerned about them at all? Is that the same Washington Post that propagated the Russia. Russia collusion hoax for the last eight years. Well, regardless of the Russia. Regardless, you're quoting the Washington Post to me, which is as effective as posting for me or quoting to me any other pillar of the fake news industrial complex. I really couldn't care less what the Washington Post or the New York Times says, especially when it's anonymous government officials.
- [65:28]
A
If it's always anonymous, name to it.
- [65:30]
B
If it's not, shut up. There you go.
- [65:32]
A
And here is how I love it.
- [65:33]
B
Trump handled the media overnight.
- [65:35]
A
I love it.
- [65:36]
B
Firstly reminded them that his predecessor never did impromptu press conferences.
- [65:41]
A
You people requested.
- [65:42]
B
I'm always available.
- [65:43]
A
Unlike Biden.
- [65:46]
B
Think Biden would do an interview at.
- [65:47]
A
2 in the morning? He would do one at 9 in the morning.
- [65:51]
B
And he then got his granddaughter Kai involved first introducing her to the members.
- [65:58]
A
Of the fake news media on the plate.
- [66:00]
B
Gotta say, he really is. Is the funniest president we've ever. You know, the fake news.
- [66:07]
A
This is the fake news. Hey, what's up, everyone? How are you guys?
- [66:10]
B
She's like, hello, everyone. We're just doing a little news conference.
- [66:14]
A
You want to partake?
- [66:16]
B
I mean, all.
- [66:17]
A
All add some stuff.
- [66:18]
B
She's a great athlete, actually.
- [66:19]
A
I'll add some stuff. Yeah. And great student.
- [66:22]
B
T's too much, man.
- [66:23]
A
Yeah.
- [66:24]
B
So go ahead. Any other question? On Monday, you're having a meeting with the president of El Salvador. Now, Donald Trump was at the UFC over the weekend.
- [66:32]
A
It's Sky News. It says Sky News right at the top.
- [66:36]
B
Sky News Australia, grandchildren.
- [66:39]
A
I love Sky. Entrance right now.
- [66:49]
B
In Miami. Dude, they were going nuts. I mean, think about this. Trump at a UFC freaking fight. All the fighters came over to him.
- [67:02]
A
Everyone's fired up. Every. Everyone there, everybody there.
- [67:14]
B
Entrance. But he had sporting stars flocking to shake his hand, including UFC champ Dominique Ray, moments after his big win.
- [67:23]
A
Yeah, that was great.
- [67:26]
B
You gotta.
- [67:27]
A
You gotta love that.
- [67:33]
B
Even Shaq the great Shaquille O'Neal to greet the president.
- [67:40]
A
So ridiculous.
- [67:41]
B
Yeah, one of the. One of the. I think from someone from Cleveland Browns, from football players. Everybody took so much incoming call. Them sellouts and fu. I mean. Yeah, it's insane, Jeff. These people are absolutely insane.
- [67:54]
A
More than one truck drop. He doesn't sleep. I think he sleeps like four hours a night. That's it. Constantly going.
- [68:02]
B
So one last thing here, Jeff. This is so. Gavin Newsom opened up the. The Medicaid, Medicare, up to illegals, and they went into. What do you think happened? They went into a deficit. Now he's crying for money. He wants money. He wants to get bailed out. I say let him die. Newsom says the state short on funds for its Medicaid program known as Medi Cal. The state expanded the program to cover undocumented immigrants. They're still using the undocumented immigrants. Illegals. Okay? They're here illegally. And forget this undocumented shit. Asked lawmakers to approve another $2.8 billion in loans on top of a 3.4 billion billion dollar loan issued last week. So California now making up a $6.2 billion shortfall in MEDI Cal funds. The money meant to keep the program properly funded through June.
- [68:55]
A
Realities are the realities.
- [68:56]
B
You have to balance budgets. We balance the realities are the realities. That's prolific. 6.2 billion, Jeff. It's not a small number. 6.2 billion.
- [69:06]
A
It's our budget.
- [69:07]
B
Revenue is holding up. I don't see anything significant along the lines of what some have asserted. But I do see the need to make adjustments and changes broadly in the Medicaid system.
- [69:20]
A
Meantime, Republicans that's gonna bob and weave.
- [69:24]
B
People complain about Trump. Say simplistic. He said talks. He says the same thing over and over again. At least he says so. That guy didn't say a damn thing. He didn't say a word. It was just nothing but words and gobbledygook.
- [69:35]
A
And it's so crazy what they, the way they talk.
- [69:38]
B
It's just, it was, it was just insane. He said nothing of any value. Nothing that anybody got anything else? So what? This guy takes it home right here. Let's end on this right here. This guy makes a little comment from China and then he gets throat punched. China. Let me show you the United States products in my home. Nothing. Do you have something from China in your home? And that right there is what you should be mad about. To all the Americans, those of you that are against Trump and Elon Musk, instead of this misplaced anger that you have towards Elon and Trump, that's what you should be mad about. That's right. They have been getting rich off of us for, for probably my entire lifetime. And you're sitting here upside upset because China. Excuse me, Because Trump put tariffs on China. Man. Please. That was so well said. I love that guy. I mean, because now they're taunting the U.S. right? They're going out and they're showing all the, the high elitist things that are made in China. They're try by shaming companies. I don't think you're winning any goodwill by trying to tell Them. That was all made in China, like.
- [70:56]
A
Because they stole everything.
- [70:57]
B
It's. Well, I'm. No, but he's like, the Hermes and all the designer stuff, it's all made in China. Yeah, well, that too, but I'm just saying the fact.
- [71:05]
A
Yeah, but that's all shifting, but.
- [71:08]
B
Right, but shaming countries by, oh, let's expose them and talk about this. And then calling Americans stupid and doing AI videos of fat people, you know, and fat Americans sewing, you know, in sweatshops, making clothes. I'm sorry, man. You're not going to win a lot of goodwill with the American people by by shaming them. It ain't happening, man.
- [71:26]
A
Who gave China most favorite nation status?
- [71:32]
B
Who was that, by the way? Was that Clinton?
- [71:37]
A
I think so.
- [71:41]
B
Oh, look it up. Look it up, Jeff. See what you got there?
- [71:46]
A
Didn't know that one. And it was temporarily granted in. By the Congress in 1980. Wait, so when was it made official, though? 1997. It was claimed. Yeah.
- [72:06]
B
By the way, no, no, semi crypto broadcast. Geopolitics would be the same if you didn't have BG123 ride in the high seas. Here we go.
- [72:30]
A
Came up with that.
- [72:35]
B
I forget who it is. I want to give proper credit, but I know I downloaded it. Don't call it. I did. Great stuff. Amazing.
- [72:42]
A
Amazing.
- [72:47]
B
Sun's coming out. It's beautifully done. Beautifully done. It's all the time we have, guys. And we ran. Only Nixon could go to China. Spock. Beautiful. Well, sometimes we forget, too. I'm sorry to tell you, but sometimes I forget. Well, it started off, it's crypto and geopolitics. That's the official tagline.
- [73:10]
A
This channel is crypto all the time.
- [73:12]
B
No, you can't. There's not enough stuff to talk about. There's a lot of people that do crypto all the time. We're the only channel that. That, you know, connects the dots. Everything's political. Everything is political. Crypto, xrp, geopolitics. Any questions? I can't think of any. That's it.
- [73:31]
A
That's it.
- [73:32]
B
We should put crypto in small, like this. Crypto, xrp, and then giant geopolitics, you know. So there it is. Boom, there it is. Hey, who makes the Yetis, Jeff or Chip? Well, it's a. It's a joint effort. It's a joint. It's a joint effort that we make them together. There's a lot of. Just stronger on the. More on the copy and the. The naming side of it, and I'm more a Little bit more on the designing side, so. But it's. It's a. It's a team effort. Couldn't have one without the other soft politics. And Jeff went hog wild on the. On the story too. So you gotta give props there too.
- [74:16]
A
Oh yeah, the story. You gotta redo the story.
- [74:19]
B
Yeah. The story is good though.
- [74:21]
A
Wow.
- [74:22]
B
BG123 will get more views than Disney Snow White. I don't doubt that. By the way, have you seen the memes on that? Oh my God. They are phenomenal. America, when they turned her into our wear wise like a pirate. It's just awesome, man. I'm having some. I'll tell you, man, thank. Thank God for AI. It's made memes even better than you could ever imagine. They're so good these days, man.
- [74:44]
A
AI is just getting more and more fun. It's getting better. Some ways it gets stupider, man. It's a lot.
- [74:50]
B
That's all the time we have. But we have time to do the Yeti drawing, which we're going to do right now.
- [74:54]
A
Before we do the yeti drawing. We gotta roll.
- [74:56]
B
Roll it, Jeff.
- [74:57]
A
Roll this one more time.
