Jeff
Couldn't go, oh, it's live. Welcome to on the Chain.
- [00:10]
Chip
Psych, psych.
- [00:13]
Jeff
Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co. Co host Chip.
- [00:20]
Chip
I didn't type that right. People on the podcast listen, like, what's going on?
- [00:24]
Jeff
What's going on?
- [00:25]
Chip
Hitting their device. What's going on?
- [00:26]
Jeff
Something's wrong, man. So welcome. Guess what? Chip Ripple xrp. Going global.
- [00:34]
Chip
I like it, I love it.
- [00:36]
Jeff
Going global. Flare igniting the D5 space. Because we haven't heard enough from Flair. We need to hear more from Flair. We have to know what flair is up to. And Trump, Chip just doesn't stop winning. He's winning in China and he's winning over in Dubai. So lot of stuff going on in the Middle East.
- [00:56]
Chip
Why?
- [00:56]
Jeff
Because the Middle east is an economic Mecca. So we just got to get a little bit of calm before the storm or a storm before the comma, so to speak. And we're going to start seeing things happening, transpiring, whether it's Europe, us, Latin America, over in Asia. Because China is going to come under and get regulated here and get in check. Everybody's getting in check. That's the whole thing. Why? Because we need trade needs to be beneficial. We need to benefit, they need to benefit. It can't be one sided where they all benefit. So a lot of cool things going on. We're going to dig in, we're going to workshop it and see where Chip, where crypto fits into this entire narrative.
- [01:37]
Chip
Yeah, yeah. That's what we're going to do. Let's go.
- [01:40]
Jeff
That's what we're doing. Is up Matt LaRoche.
- [01:52]
Chip
Yes. Does my microphone sound okay? It's weird.
- [01:56]
Jeff
I don't see the microphone.
- [01:57]
Chip
Check, mic check, mic check.
- [01:59]
Jeff
It's pretty good to me.
- [02:01]
Chip
It says it's on wrist, but you never know.
- [02:03]
Jeff
Yeah, you sound crisp. Ish.
- [02:05]
Chip
It's weird. I don't see the little crisp, you know. Oh, there it is. It jumped up in a weird space. That's why.
- [02:10]
Jeff
Because I was like, I didn't see it disappears.
- [02:13]
Chip
Got a little nervous and then every so often, what's going on?
- [02:16]
Jeff
Did you know you can switch it to screen recorder? You can go to audio recorder or you can just record the notes. I love crisp. This isn't an ad, but I love crisp for recording notes. It's the greatest thing ever. You have a conversation. That's why I'll do calls on my phone. And then after the fact I'm like, that's great. I'm gonna have the summary of the call. Then I think about it, like, wait a minute. I'm on my phone. I have zero summary. But if you do a call with someone, you throw it into chat gbt and, like, please give me a summary. Prepare a summary so I can send to so and so. And it breaks it down so I.
- [02:55]
Chip
Have a better problem.
- [02:56]
Jeff
Man, it's so amazing.
- [02:57]
Chip
I. I say categorize, analyze with bullet points. Who said what? If it's multiple people, I do multiple sales calls. So I have, like, sometimes I'll have anywhere from six to 10 people on a zoom call.
- [03:08]
Jeff
I love it.
- [03:08]
Chip
You said what? Give me the time stamps in case I need to review it or just check these hallucinations. Sometimes it'll do weird. I'll be like, that was nice.
- [03:16]
Jeff
It does.
- [03:17]
Chip
It does say, I was on the call. I don't remember that being said. So it makes up stuff. Sometimes not as much on calls. It does it on other places. But then I'll. Then I'll go ahead and say, and then also give me the takeaways. Who's responsible for what? And then I copy and paste that into an email.
- [03:33]
Jeff
Yeah, I like the who's. I always like the next steps part. Here's what we talked about. Here's a summary. What are the next steps so far?
- [03:40]
Chip
Next steps, and who's gonna be responsible for what? A reach out tomorrow to see where, you know, progress, whatever the hell it is, you know. But I've been prompts, and that's been really great. I mean, yeah, monster prompts. Monster prompting's everything with AI. If you don't know how to prompt you, AI is not going to work for you. I like people that go, like, I told it to do this, and it didn't do it. I'm like, well, you know, the. The old phrase we have in wind tech is garbage in, garbage out. There's no. There's no getting around it, man.
- [04:11]
Jeff
And then you have to remind it. Then you have to say, you have to have it. You have to have it help you, too. You know, I am writing such and such. Here's the input that I need from you. Break it down. Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
- [04:27]
Chip
And then sometimes you got to say, no, I need you to come back. Bring it back. Conversational tone. I don't need buzzwords central.
- [04:33]
Jeff
Yeah. Love cookies.
- [04:35]
Chip
Cookies. That's. The Cookie Monster is over. Is the Cookie Monster his new name? He loves cookies.
- [04:40]
Jeff
The Cookie Monster. And by the way, the Panthers are up on the Toronto Maple Leafs 10 after the first period, we're going to wrap this up tonight right on time, so I can go back and watch the third period and we can watch the Panthers crush the Leafs. That's what we're going to see.
- [04:54]
Chip
Le Mark, OTC London and leader of the Storm virus back in the MF building. Good to have you back. Hope you had a great holiday. Hope everybody enjoyed themselves. You guys did.
- [05:06]
Jeff
Adrian Stormberg, you're watching from Qatar.
- [05:09]
Chip
Beautiful. Where else is everybody watching it from? There it is right there. See, there's a Smithson update.
- [05:14]
Jeff
That's right.
- [05:15]
Chip
Right there. Just watching it in the background. So if you see him over there and just, like, floats off into space, you know, why be watching the game?
- [05:24]
Jeff
So we started at my neighbor's house. Got one monkey shoulder in. Threw out some cheese and crackers and some monkey shoulder. So I said, look, I got to do a podcast, so I can only do one.
- [05:35]
Chip
I was with my boy Nindy one, one time, and I was in. We were in. We were in Dublin and we had this Airbnb. We were at this conference together, and we got. We got monkey shoulder. I never had it before.
- [05:47]
Jeff
No, it's the best.
- [05:47]
Chip
And we pretty much. I think we. I think we destroyed that bottle.
- [05:52]
Jeff
It's the greatest.
- [05:53]
Chip
My buddy Nindy's like. He goes, you know that first monkey says, hello. The second monkey says, how you doing? That third monkey poke punches you right in the face. He goes, I feel like the third monkey right now. There's little. You know, the three little monkeys on there.
- [06:06]
Jeff
Yeah.
- [06:07]
Chip
I was like, yeah. I go, yeah. I'm feeling kind of like third monkey, too. I think I go, we. I think we went three monkeys in. I think we're done.
- [06:14]
Jeff
Go to two, two and a half. Once you. Once you get to three, I think it's too many monkeys.
- [06:19]
Chip
It was. It was way too many monkeys. It's a cool little bottle, though. And then they've got it in the. You notice that some, like, if you go to, like. What is it called? Wine. Total wine has the big bottle.
- [06:31]
Jeff
Well, I got that in my one in my. My bar area.
- [06:37]
Chip
Whatever. It's called shoulder. I got, like, shoulder. You know what's really funny? I was looking through my whiskey collection. I was like, what I have left? I've got three. Because, you know, coming back and forth from. From Montreal, I have three Canadian whiskeys. One of them has maple surface, very soft. It's not too much, but it's really nice. It's a very sweet. Tastes great in an old Fashioned. You put that in There and some ice and put a couple cherries in there. It's really nice.
- [07:04]
Jeff
What are we covering tonight? What we should go into there, man?
- [07:07]
Chip
We're gonna get there, shock the monkey. That's right. The monkey got shot. It punished big time, dude. It delivers that. Be careful with that monkey shoulder, dude. I don't know. I don't. After that episode, I would never be friended again. Yeti we got six entries so far without even saying a word. So this is kind of cool. The Dubai media office said Ahmed bin Saeed meets with the golden global finance industry leaders participating in the Dubai FinTech Summit 2025. The meeting explored opportunities for collaboration and expanding digital payment infrastructure, accelerating innovation across financial ecosystem. If you look right there on the end, you can see Monica Long is there with some other notables. And, you know, this. I forgot about their. Their. Their, you know, local dress with these long. It looks hot, dude. But I guess if you're in, the dude probably keeps the sun off you and, you know. You know, I wonder if it's like a kilt where you don't wear anything underneath it, which just gives you a little bit more breathing room, you know what I mean?
- [08:15]
Jeff
I think you're supposed to wear something under it.
- [08:18]
Chip
But, I mean, I can see why, though, you know, because if you got the beard, which is what these guys do. These guys. These guys rocking the stash over here. But if you got the beard and you got your head covered, everything else is covered, you know, you're not gonna. You don't really need sunscreen because you pretty much are wearing it.
- [08:33]
Jeff
Right.
- [08:33]
Chip
I wonder why that's the traditional dress because it seems to be, you know, to go with the local here. And then Monica's wearing like. I'm glad she. I'm glad all they. I'm glad this dude got dressed up because these two didn't. I mean, you're meeting. I'm meeting with your, you know, I mean, that's their, you know, the equivalent of a suit. Like, he's in a Robert regular, proper suit. And it was good to see Trump over there because, you know, they're wearing the traditional Western suits and they have all their traditional gear on. It was just an interesting contrast, you.
- [09:01]
Jeff
Know, it's very cool. Yep.
- [09:02]
Chip
When Trudeau went over there, I think he wore the traditional garb. I think he put it on because he's like, he loves to. That guy was a huge lover of cultural appropriation.
- [09:11]
Jeff
Oh, yeah.
- [09:12]
Chip
No, we don't have. Now we have Mark Carney, who basically got his Ass kicked by Trump. That was just. Man, he went home. And I love that one headline, though, Jeff. It was the best one ever. It was Friends with no benefits, Carney. Friends with no benefits in the US that was funny as hell. So this was the. And so then, you know, Ripple put this out saying, hey, our president Monica Long had the honor of meeting with His Highness Amid Bin Said at the Dubai Fitness Summit. We continue to be impressed. The leadership demonstrated by Dubai.
- [09:45]
Jeff
There's 2,0. Look at that.
- [09:47]
Chip
All right, this is. This is going in a good way. Sorry and trusted by Dubai as it establishes itself as one of the world's leading hubs for digital assets. That's pretty cool. You're meeting the Royal Highness Amid Bin Said and you dress like this. Come on. This dude's wearing jeans, man. I mean, come on, man. Put on a. You know what makes that outfit look cool? Throw a jacket over it. Dude. You look like you dressed up.
- [10:14]
Jeff
Exactly.
- [10:15]
Chip
You throw a jacket over a T shirt. It looks like. I'll look at your dress for the occasion. Yeah, it's fantastic.
- [10:21]
Jeff
What's he wearing around his neck?
- [10:23]
Chip
Oh, that's an ID card or something. I don't know what it is. It's probably the conference, maybe. Well, they came from the con. This is at the conference, you know.
- [10:34]
Jeff
Oh. Oh, that's. Well, that's why he's dressed that way.
- [10:37]
Chip
Yeah, it's probably just the meeting room that they went into.
- [10:39]
Jeff
They're at the fintech. They're at a fintech summit.
- [10:42]
Chip
That's why they're not dressed up.
- [10:43]
Jeff
Yeah, that's why he's dressed that way.
- [10:45]
Chip
But they had the chance to meet. And what's weird is they don't say who the other people were. Like, they don't say about who they were.
- [10:51]
Jeff
No.
- [10:52]
Chip
Nowhere that makes sense. Look at that. Ripple means business. Boom. Flywheel effect in motion. Oh, we're gonna get rugged. It's. Comments are great. I applaud Dubai. The US Continues to fall behind. We need to pass regulatory framework for stable coins cryptocurrencies now so other countries can follow suit. Feels like the US government is purposely trying to fall behind. They're not per. Yeah, that's. They're. They're doing it on purpose. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on there. You know, that that's what it is. But I wanted to. I wanted to pull up. This was later. I was planning on showing this later, but there's a reason I think it's a good idea to show it now. And this is because. Oh, God. Where is it? Why can't I find it, man? Oh, man. Come on. I had it open. This is what drives me nuts. Drives me nuts. I open up all this stuff, and it's nowhere to be found. Okay, that is not it. All right, well, you know what? I'm gonna. I'm gonna pull it up in a second here, so let's see if I can. Man, you can't even do stuff fast here. It just doesn't work. Doesn't work.
- [12:01]
Jeff
No, too slow, too slow, too slow, too slow.
- [12:05]
Chip
Too way too slow.
- [12:06]
Jeff
But let me understand why this countdown doesn't work properly. So.
- [12:10]
Chip
Notification. Okay, I got it.
- [12:14]
Jeff
Refresh on the bloody screen.
- [12:16]
Chip
It wasn't that long. Okay, all right. Okay, here we go. So. All right, so you know Ryan Selkis. He's an absolute moronic douchebag. That's. I'm being nice. I'm gonna. I'm gonna swear this guy's the dopiest dude I've ever seen in my life. Okay? And he. And he. He. This is. He. He's such a. He's such a. What's the word I'm looking for, Jeff? He's such a. Like a sensitive dude that a couple years ago, he put out a post when it was. Back when it was Twitter and said, anybody that has XRP and they're. And their Twitter bio, I'm banning or I'm blocking. That's an emotional dude. You run. You run. What's the company he runs? What's the.
- [13:02]
Jeff
Who knows? What is it?
- [13:06]
Chip
Somebody probably know. Let me see. Let me do it.
- [13:08]
Jeff
Ryan Socus.
- [13:09]
Chip
Yeah, Ryan.
- [13:11]
Jeff
So Internet personality.
- [13:15]
Chip
No, he runs Masari, runs Messari. They've hated quite a bit on. On xrp, too.
- [13:22]
Jeff
Oh, that's right.
- [13:24]
Chip
Sorry. They put out these reports and stuff.
- [13:26]
Jeff
Anyway, you know who he looks mit?
- [13:29]
Chip
You know, Moby, the.
- [13:31]
Jeff
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, good point.
- [13:33]
Chip
He looks just like Moby. Look. That's Moby.
- [13:39]
Jeff
He's very similar.
- [13:41]
Chip
Yeah, he's got that. He's got that Moby look. Right? Look at that.
- [13:44]
Jeff
Same glasses almost.
- [13:46]
Chip
Yeah, he's got a younger. Yeah, so Moby's a little bit old.
- [13:48]
Jeff
Definitely confuse him for it.
- [13:49]
Chip
Yeah, yeah. He looks like the musician Moby. And the weird thing is I like Moby's music, especially the earlier stuff, especially the guitar stuff. Everyone knows him as, like, this. You know, more of a. More of like a dance, you know, type of dude. But he is like Moby there. I didn't even see that. Is that after I Said that man.
- [14:06]
Jeff
Looks like a pretentious egg.
- [14:07]
Chip
All right, He's a pretentious egg. So is Moby. Moby's like a woke a goner, man. He's. And I like his music, especially the rock music, but he's here pontificating. First of all, I couldn't even get past the first minute. I was like, dude, I'm so bored right now. And I was like, how long is this thing? 20 minutes. I got time for 20 minutes. So Ryan Socus says if the Genius act doesn't pass this week past, all crypto legislation under Trump will be dead on arrival. Okay. No, that's why I referred to him as a. He's just an oversensitive dweeb. He blames Coinbase's lack of effort, claiming regulatory confusion helps them build their competitive moat. Dude, this is a guy that's supposed to be steeped in crypto. He does Masari. He puts all these reports out and he's dumber than a rock dude. He's. I mean, does that even make sense? Coinbase lack of effort here because regulatory confusion helps them build their competitive moat. What the f is he talking about?
- [15:08]
Jeff
What is it? Yeah, what is he even saying?
- [15:10]
Chip
Nobody knows. Listen, Moby, no, we didn't get. We ain't got. Nobody got time for that. But anyway, over here now. John Deaton also kind of like chimed in here. He said, I agree with 2 bit idiot, by the way. 2 bit idiot is his. He's one of the few people that actually lives up to his moniker, his head, his handle on X. He's known as two bit idiot. And you can just say dude, he's a two bit idiot. And you'd be right because that's his handle. When I agree with Moby, when he says that if Congress doesn't get the Genius act passed, we won't see a market structure bill, which means we won't see any long lasting reform until 2029, depending on how the President election goes. Why might you ask? Because the Genius act is a no brainer for any politician that get behind it if they're willing to put America's interest ahead of politics. The stablecoin legislation isn't even really a crypto bill and should be called the Dollar dominance bill as pointed out by Intelligible intelligence intelligent intangible coins. Holy cow. Holy tongue twister, Batman. We're in an era when other nations are attempting to de dollarize the world. We must drive, demand for and ensure the USD remains the world's reserve currency. If politicians can't get the Genius act through, then there's little chance more complex, long lasting legislation will pass. It's so damn frustrating to watch how we go from one extreme to the other every time we change president. We went from the government's shoe on the neck of the industry to a free for all with presidential meme coins and an administration that could be more crypto friendly. But when all dust settles, we're still applying 1933 statutes, in 1946 case law to modern day tech like AI and crypto. Sad crying face. Well, Jeff, you know, I'm not one for. Would one pass up on an opportunity to comment on this? And what I came in here is I said, you know, I believe the Genius act will ultimately pass, likely with a queue, a few key additions and revisions to strengthen the bill. Now it was 48 to 49. You only need one more Republican vote to get the 49. And then you got J.D. vance as the tiebreaker. Right? Yeah, I had to go look this up because I had to say like, oh geez, we were bipartisan just a week ago. Like what happened? Well, what happened is a couple of Republican senators and a bunch of other senators and a bunch of Democrats, you know, wanted to add some things to this act. Right. And the bill fell short by just one vote. Senators Josh Hawley and Mark Warner opposed it, citing concerns that the legislative text wasn't complete. So with Josh Holly, he voted against it because it was all about concerns the bills could, could potentially allow tech companies to issue stable coins and he thought that would potentially harm competition and consumers. He argued for stronger prohibitions against Big Tech's involvement in the cryptocurrency sector, reflecting his broader skepticism of large tech firms influence. There's also concerns about the bill's provisions regarding foreign stablecoin issuers and anti money laundering measures. Some centers expressed unease over the potential national security risks associated with foreign entities issuing stable coins without stringent oversight. Now I couldn't get on board with this. You don't want, you don't, you don't want to have a foreign issuer back to USD with no oversight. All right. And there's no, I mean there could be some long lasting security risks. Right. And regulation. So I think that's a good one. And when he's talking about stable coins is he doesn't want companies like maybe Coinbase and I'm not picking on them. Just the one one that comes to mind or Gemini or he doesn't want the market flooded with stable coins. Right. So that's Something they wanted to sort of button up. So I'm like, these hurdles are minor. They're easily addressed. A genius act. They'll get past. The cool thing was John Deaton did like that. Let me see what happened here. I right. Selkus Circus. What a. I mean he's. He's not even. Dude, do you even pay attention? And then this guy, JS architect said, I thought the Republicans had a majority. They do have the majority though. There's a few, including two GOP centers I mentioned above broke ranks and voted against it. And this guy said, inter homes, Josh is in now.
- [19:27]
Jeff
There you go.
- [19:27]
Chip
And I said, okay, but cool. I haven't been able to find the confirmation of his position change. Do you happen to have a source link? No.
- [19:36]
Jeff
No, it's not gonna happen. They needed to have 60 votes of yes.
- [19:41]
Chip
No, they only need the majority. They don't need 60. But look it up. Jeff. Maybe I'm wrong.
- [19:48]
Jeff
The genius act. How many.
- [19:50]
Chip
I thought you'll need a majority to pass anything. I thought if you needed. If required. I don't know that it requires 60 does. Maybe I'm wrong.
- [19:59]
Jeff
60 votes.
- [20:00]
Chip
All right, it does need 60 votes. Okay, well there's still about. There's still a bunch of Republicans that voted against it.
- [20:07]
Jeff
But how many Democrats voted against it? Oh yeah, all of them.
- [20:11]
Chip
Yeah.
- [20:15]
Jeff
Yeah. Unfortunately. Even goes back. He'll come back again. They'll clean it up. Whatever some of the concerns are, they'll bring it in.
- [20:24]
Chip
That's wanted to make some changes too. It wasn't just. It wasn't just the Republicans. You know what I mean? So it's other. It was. There was other things going on there. Ripple also posted. This uses collateral. Collateral Integrated global payments trusted by institutions RL USD. Ripple USD is a bridge between traditional finance and crypto. Learn how stable coins have become an essential financial infrastructure. Explore the use cases.
- [20:50]
Jeff
Is it. Man, you know, I'm not. I get the. The intrigue with the stablecoin. I think the stablecoin is really critical on. On the global stage, you know, for enterprise financial inclusion and speed of financial transaction, you know. And then I start looking at crypto and you start wondering, do they really need the cryptocurrency component for the movement of money? Do they really need it at this point? You know. Oh, look at that. 3 0. Man. The Panthers are crushing it, dude. And man, this is a good night. This is so important because this is the fifth game going in 3, 0 in the second period, man. That is absolutely.
- [21:39]
Chip
Which means they need four goals to win at this point. So it's gonna be. I think they maybe try to one more goal in and play defense the entire third man.
- [21:46]
Jeff
Yeah. You go into 4, 0. And what do we have left? Still got nine minutes, though, left in the second. There's a lot left here.
- [21:55]
Chip
Rand Paul's an odd duck. He really is. He's. He's really awkward on a lot of. A lot of issues. His. Has Circle acquisition gone radio silent?
- [22:05]
Jeff
I think Circle said no.
- [22:06]
Chip
Right?
- [22:06]
Jeff
They didn't, they didn't acknowledge it.
- [22:08]
Chip
They.
- [22:08]
Jeff
They don't want to be bought out.
- [22:10]
Chip
Yeah, but they're not. I don't think they're going to get what they're looking for on that ipo. They're going to raise four or five billion dollars. The problem is they don't make any money. And it doesn't make, like, long term. First of all, if the rates go. If the rates start coming down, which they're going to come down, and interest rates come down, they make the difference on the interest. So they made 1.3. What was it? Million, Something. I don't remember. I know the number was they pay almost 85% to Coinbase. Okay, so they make a very small spread on that. Now, Coinbase doesn't want to lose that, but, you know, I mean, you can look it up, Jeff, what the spread is, what what was offered and who knows that the numbers are right. I know that the earnings potential is that 80, 80 to 85 is paid to Coinbase. And it's all. The only money they make is on interest. So when interest changes, that's going down even further. That's why it makes a. It makes a lot more sense for a company like Ripple to acquire Circle. But you know that guy, Jeremy, what's his name, the. The. The CEO over there, he's. He's like. He. I think he's too in love with Circle. I'd be in love with the payday is what I'd be in love with. So they'd give him the $4 billion, which is great because that's what IPOs are for, for raising money. And the Ripple doesn't need an ipo. They don't need to raise money. I mean, most of the time it's for raising money, but the regulatory stuff is. Is insane. It's such a hassle to do the right. You know, I worked for public. I work public companies and I go through the earnings calls and the quarterly calls, the employee calls and this and that, and I mean, how they have to report it Then they got to get on the phone with investors and they have to do the investor call and, and do the report to the reporters. It's. Dude, I don't know that anybody wants that. That extra hurdle. Just get regulatory stuff. But for us, yeah, you know the whole idea of the USD and being the reserve currencies, great. On a global stage, sure. But do we care about it as investors? I don't give a about it. I don't care one bit. I care this much. But if they can't get this over the front line, then they're going to have a bigger problem. But where I disagree with John Deaton, as he says we'd have to wait till 2029. No, we just have to wait till 2026. That's it. Because what's I. This is another year where I feel like there's going to be a big pickup. Don't remember the first term. The midterms. Trump had pickups. No, there was no, There was no downside to it. There's going to be a ton of pickups. There's people that are retiring. The Democrat party has gone so far off the. You know, I don't even know. They're like in another planet right now. They just want to say no to everything for any.
- [24:49]
Jeff
For.
- [24:50]
Chip
For whatever reason. So it's. And they're. And they seem to be doubling down on stupid almost everywhere you look. And I say great. Never interrupt your enemy when they're in the process of destroying themselves. And they are doing a great job. And during the campaign I said the same thing. Let them go. Let them go. Don't try to rebut it. Brutal. Don't try to come in. People can see. Can. Can analyze it and see it for themselves. That's how it works. Crypto G says you're exactly right. I've heard Circle still entertaining Ripple behind closed doors. That's the rumor. Crypto G. But nobody knows for sure. No hope for your pet yet. For my yeti. Well, that's good. Where. Let us know like, please. That's a good one. Yeah, please, like, go ahead. It does help us out, guys. Even though we get. We're massively shadow band and we lose subscribers every day. So please do something.
- [25:42]
Jeff
We haven't. We haven't for a while. We're. We're static.
- [25:46]
Chip
Okay, well, that's good. There we go. I gotta Update. It says 20K. I did that a long time ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [25:56]
Jeff
But it's 20,000. 20,000 XRP.
- [26:01]
Chip
There it is right there. This is absolutely right. Zed is right. Brad Garlinghouse said numerous times, they're not doing an ipo. Why should they?
- [26:09]
Jeff
Yeah, they don't need it.
- [26:10]
Chip
They don't need the regulatory. They spent $200 million now themselves. They don't want to be involved with the sec. Plus, you're in. Be with the SEC and they're breathing up your ass all the time. No, they, they holy. Like, let's not do that. That's a bad idea. Thank you. I was thinking.
- [26:29]
Jeff
See that? Even he said it.
- [26:30]
Chip
Bad idea. It's a horrible idea. Risky. The problem with the rhinos dragging their feet is to wait Trump out. They're willing to lose. They don't have to lead. Yeah, a little bit of that. But you know what the funny thing is, is they, they like to show who they are. They're going to get primary. They're already, they're given warning. They will be primary. They'd be tossed out. There's going to be such an exciting midterm coming up because they've also locked down all the ways to possibly cheat. That's the other fun about it. So, and, and there's something called usaid and they, they cut the funding. So all the funding in the campaigns is going to be down. No, they're not going to be able to raise money. Some of the big. Like that, that one woman, Lindy, she left the party. She was a big fundraiser for them. A lot of people are, a lot of people are moving and it's. Look, they're going to be dead on arrival. And when usaid, when they come out and say, I've said this before, when Trump comes out and says, geez, I think, I wonder who's getting kickbacks. Elon Musk said, yeah, there's three senators that amassed $20 million. They can't account for it. Huh. I wonder what happened. If they're asking the question, they already know the answer. Expect the drip campaign to happen around October to December going into the next year of 26. Because the election is in October of 26, you can expect that there's going to be a little bit of a drip campaign and someone's in hot water and oops, geez, what happens is they don't funnel it to themselves. Some of it gets funneled to them. Some of they do deals and then it ends up in their account. But it's always, it's always this, this chain that happens along the way. Not a blockchain, but a dirty chain. And the dirty chain ends up in family members accounts and it ends up over here.
- [28:18]
Jeff
And family businesses deals, book deals, speaking engagements, all sorts of money cool things. That's so classic art. Art deals can make your own art.
- [28:31]
Chip
Yeah. Well, that's why Hunter Biden was selling 500000 paintings until. Until he wasn't. Until he all of a sudden he noticed he's not an artist anymore and he noticed he doesn't paint anymore. Huh.
- [28:42]
Jeff
There, There you go, Vance Trump 2028. Could you imagine? Imagine the world would melt down.
- [28:53]
Chip
That would be absolutely awesome, man. Wouldn't that be something?
- [29:01]
Jeff
I'm just taking a step back for the next four because he said he'd be there for the next four, man. Hey, we're at the bottom of the hour here. Hey, let me play this quick commercial before we get into flare and some other cool. 4 0. Bam. Look at that. Holy cow. Panthers 40 going into the bottom here.
- [29:19]
Chip
Dude, they are putting on a clinic. Dude, you're gonna have to watch.
- [29:22]
Jeff
Oh man, I'm missing all this good stuff. Like I saw the first man, but at least coming over here when it was 1 040. My neighbor's probably going crazy right now.
- [29:33]
Chip
The game's over. They gotta score five goals to win the game.
- [29:37]
Jeff
Game is over.
- [29:38]
Chip
Four to tie it.
- [29:40]
Jeff
Yep.
- [29:41]
Chip
You know, usually they must be just playing for blood because you know when you get three goals ahead, you kind of lay back a little bit, a little more, play heavy nd shoot the puck down, you know, do some, you know, icing, whatever. But no, man, they're on. They're. They're going for blood. It's great to see you.
- [29:57]
Jeff
And they're coming back here Friday.
- [29:59]
Chip
I was like hardly the Stanley cup champs down to nothing. And I go, Toronto, dude. If you want to. If you don't know anything about hockey and you know something about the NFL, I'll tell you. I'll tell you who Toronto Maple Leafs are. They're the Cleveland Browns. They're eternal losers. Some might say the Buffalo Bills also eternal losers. Although you have winning seasons but. And if you saw the Browns, if you saw, if you saw their draft, you know a lot about why they continue to not do well year after year. And if you know who their quarterback was that they paid a ton of money to, you'd understand why they're not the smartest people, you know, sharpest tools in the shed. That's for sure.
- [30:38]
Jeff
That's right.
- [30:38]
Chip
Now this is interesting here. The fact that is not even Tatum's sidelined. And then they're Up. What. What time. What period is it, Jeff? Where are we? Because I'm seeing the. Because the next one the other night, Tatum went down. Boy, that killes thing. That's. That's tough to come back from or if ever, it's going to take a year of rehab. So he might be out the first half in the season. Geez.
- [31:04]
Jeff
Yeah.
- [31:04]
Chip
No one. No one likes to see that. That's. That's horrific.
- [31:08]
Jeff
Yeah.
- [31:08]
Chip
Look at that. Yeah. This Canadian team to win the cup was. Oh, God. It's their game. And we win every year, everyone. Isn't that fantastic?
- [31:19]
Jeff
Not winning this time either.
- [31:20]
Chip
Oh, wow, there's. Oh, there's rolling the third. Okay, we're good.
- [31:23]
Jeff
All right, here we go. Bottom. Bottom of the hour. So let me play this.
- [31:30]
Chip
Win the badass Yeti from the Blue Tribe. Word of the day yet. Hey, you got your Z wallet ready? Why? Cause this is gonna be epic. It's time. Time to claim your legendary Blue Tribe Yeti of the clan Titan. His name, Risi.
- [32:07]
Jeff
Let's go. On the chain. Badass yet is born for battle, made for legend.
- [32:23]
Chip
Claim yours or be forgotten.
- [32:26]
Jeff
Badass yet is on the chain.
- [32:36]
Chip
That looks sweet, says Matt. That's great. Hey, hey, hey. By the way, Jeff, out of all of the Yetis, this one might hold the record. I don't know. I've seen one with four letters.
- [32:49]
Jeff
No, they're usually and.
- [32:51]
Chip
And it actually has a vowel. Some of them don't even. They're missing a lot of vowels because they're based on Norwegian and Vikings.
- [32:57]
Jeff
Yeah, I was like, wait a minute.
- [33:00]
Chip
Why don't you just name them Paul? This is Yeti Paul right here. Hey, look, it's Mike.
- [33:06]
Jeff
Mike throwing at a Paul. That would have been pretty funny.
- [33:09]
Chip
Paul. George. Ringo threw that in just for fun. Oh, no, that ain't coming to strip. Oh, that ain't happening. Dude. Everyone says, like, the other four letter word. Yeah, that's true. Everyone's saying, hey, there's no women yet. He's there. If you look at the white Tribe, you might find a couple. There's a couple.
- [33:32]
Jeff
Busy rug pull.
- [33:33]
Chip
It's already starting already. He's starting already on the rug pull, man. Yo.
- [33:39]
Jeff
Wow.
- [33:39]
Chip
Wow, that was something else, man. That song was fire. Says Crypto. G. Come here. That's the other thing. I mean, who else. Hey, who gives away an NFT every time they broadcast? And. And B, how about an original song every single time? Yeah, the graphics are similar. The song is different. Dude. And the graphics change up too. Did you guys notice the graphics changed up. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- [34:07]
Jeff
Correction areas.
- [34:08]
Chip
Jeff is a good yeti name though, too. We should have put a Simon in.
- [34:13]
Jeff
Kevin.
- [34:14]
Chip
Well, we got the badass. Badass chimps are coming up, and that'll be the other. That'll be giveaways. The chimps are coming up and they are. They're not going to be named. I don't know if there's too many of them to name them. It's a hard thing to do. Rizzy's like, Jeff. Four letter kings. Oh, look at that maestro with the music. Yeah, definitely. That yeti has Brittany Griner's voice. Oh, my God, everyone's so shocked. Like, I saw that making the rounds again today. Like, this is Brittany writer. So I'm like, dude, how did not anybody know? Oh, you haven't seen the. You haven't seen the backyard video when he's out there shooting back? I mean, I'm sorry. She's shooting baskets. He has the shirt off and he's out there shooting nerf baskets in the pool. Nobody saw that video. That video. And then, I don't know. What are we. Why are we pretending? I don't know. Chad, please play that song again.
- [35:07]
Jeff
I want to play it again.
- [35:09]
Chip
Play it again. Well, let's wait. Let's do a couple more stories. We'll play it. So we'll do a. We'll do a couple.
- [35:15]
Jeff
Just trying to correct one little thing.
- [35:16]
Chip
Then you heard something there. All right, so no more waiting. We're on. This is flare. This is how XRP enters D5. Securely. Scalable. Scalably and with full custody retained. From here, it only scales. John Deaton, he posted this. This is cool. Because way back In June of 2021, he said, am I wrong? Believing that Flair may turn out to be one of the biggest winners in the digital asset space? Then Deaton came in here and he said, huh, maybe I wasn't wrong. And then Flair said, 170 million. Liquidity proves you're nailing it, John. 170 million million in liquidia. Interesting. I don't know if we'll have time to go through this whole thing, Jeff. There's a lot to unpack here. Let's see. There's a lot to unpack here. Look at all this. That's a lot of stuff. Basically. Look at this. We're not going through all this. Just know that it's her peace. Enter the D5 space. I will tell you what I'll do is I'll put this on here. Xrps on songbird we are going to throw this in the chat. You guys can go click on there, go through and read it because we're not going to get to it all. But one of my favorites, all time favorites on X is John Ocasio Rodham Nolting. I love that he does that and he had this, he put pen this article that the the regime was forced to admit the tariffs have little impact on prices. How about that, huh? The anti science freakout predicting Trump's terrorists would implode explode consumer prices has now been debunked as yet another media legacy hoax. The far left Politico grudgingly admits Trump's tariffs have little impact on prices so far, defying grim forecasts. Read the headline. Inflation climbed at a slowest pace since early 21 and April. Surprising economists who are anticipating tariff related increase reads the sub headline. Notice how the propagandists at Politico lay blame on the economist for getting this wrong. But then when the media cherry picks the economists and the experts to quote the media are equally as guilty. We all know how the game's played. Here's some previous political headlines. Consumer expectations crater to three decade low amid Trump tariff chaos Yelling on Trump tariffs taxes idea. I think it would make life unaffordable. The economic paradox took nearly three presidents. Took down three presidents. Is Donald Trump next How ugly gonna be? We haven't seen anything like this. Farmers brace for a Trump war and on and on and on and on. So going through page at the freaking page of ever loving Politico predicting tariff mageddon I found only one tiny story pushing back a squeak of a story headlined Howard Lutnick was rejects concerns about price increases. Lutnick is Trump's current Secretary of Commerce. So politicals tariff tariff mageddon approach got it 100 wrong while they lowly squeak got it 100 right and that's what we hear. This is all this is. They're being proven wrong all the time. The other thing great thing that Trump did was he took down all the security clearances of all of the Democrat connected law firms and all the Democrats. So now they're just making up out of thin air because they don't even have the intelligence to kind of craft a fake story around that sounds somewhat real. They're just shots in the dark. Almost everything they do. Jeff. It's an insane place to be, isn't it?
- [38:48]
Jeff
Crazy. Crazy.
- [38:51]
Chip
You remember Newsom? He was governor Newsom new scam out of California. So California ghosted its health care promise. Remember he was said all illegals are all getting health care. Well, he said even undocumented interest would get free health care. Fast forward to 2025 and he's hitting the pause button. Starting in 26, no new signups for medical if you don't have legal status. Huh? In 2027, those already in got a cough up 100 bucks a month. Why the sudden flip? The program cost 2.7 billion more than expected. That's over what they thought it would cost. So California's broke. And the Trump tariff drama nuked 16 billion in tax money. Turns out universal health care is anything is easy to promise until the bill shows up. Now Gavin trying to do something. 5.4 billion before the budget eats him alive. He went begging for money and Trump told him, go pound sand, dude, you slick Ted car dealership guy. Hey, you want to buy a cart? And the guy's great because if you put him on a lie detector test, he wouldn't even flinch. Jeff, there'd be zero flinching going on. He would be basically passing it all because I think he lies so much, he doesn't even know what's real and what's not real anymore. Now, did you know who Dingle is? The set. The. Is she the House representative? Remember? Husband passed away. Dingle from Detroit.
- [40:23]
Jeff
Oh, yep. Oh, yeah. Remember Dingle?
- [40:25]
Chip
Well, then she. He died. She took over for him. He was in there for a hundred years. Now she's trying to do. But anyway, today she fell asleep and the cameras captured it. She was in a hearing. So I thought this was a funny meme where writes up mag on her face. So, yeah, there you go. She fell. Actually, two. Two people, two Democrats fell asleep today.
- [40:50]
Jeff
Oh, yeah.
- [40:51]
Chip
I guess Trump's keeping them up all hours of the night, Jeff.
- [40:56]
Jeff
They have no idea what they're in for. It's amazing. Trump is just way too active, you know, he does way too many things. They have no idea, you know, how to keep up with it. That's the, the best part about all of it is that they're totally, you know, he's. He's moving so fast and just throwing so much out there, you know, it's just super, super impressive.
- [41:21]
Chip
And this I thought was pretty interesting. This was, this was from the podcast at LA Terrace. Closed door meetings with Gary. Did he come across or was he as anti crypto in private as he did in public?
- [41:35]
C
No.
- [41:36]
Chip
No. Nope.
- [41:38]
C
You know, no. I mean, look, Ginser had this.
- [41:42]
Chip
By the way, it's Patrick McHenry. He since left Congress, and I think he's in the private sector probably working on a CR him who knows.
- [41:49]
C
Genser had this complicated history where he saw the value of digital assets and he was in the seat to do something about it and he was trying to kill it. Well, he invented complicated.
- [41:58]
Chip
He invented the airdrop. Right. I mean people forget that at mit.
- [42:03]
Jeff
The best way to build liquidity. Yeah, it's a forgotten chapter in his story.
- [42:08]
C
Yeah, completely forgotten. I had this weird mistaken, stupid now belief that he would be, he wouldn't be that bad as sec chair and I mean the, just the level of disappointment. You know, you can have a conversation with him about, about the content structures, the legal piece of this stuff and it's a very reasonable thing and you start asking him questions and about what he would do about it and you're like wait a second. But that's kind of disagreeing with all your facts you've just given me. You've like you've agreed are real. It I cannot get, I cannot understand.
- [42:49]
Jeff
Yeah.
- [42:50]
C
Ideology, progressive ideology. And Elizabeth Warren is justifying her view and contorting herself into, into, I mean into this really anti crypto view. Yet she, it's clear she doesn't understand the technology. Gensler understands the technology and yet he's in the same space like he's, he comes to the same conclusion. I think it, I think it was added to more with Senate politics and confirmation politics than anything else.
- [43:29]
Chip
And now he's back at MIT teaching fintech and AI. He'll come up with the next airdrop.
- [43:35]
C
Yeah, you never know. You never know. So maybe keep him out. Maybe him and maybe out of government. Not, not as bad as in government, but that's probably generally the case.
- [43:47]
Jeff
You know, I would rather, I would rather read his research papers and see him on CNBC announcing enforcement actions.
- [43:54]
Chip
Personally, just personally, I think that's a.
- [43:55]
Jeff
Much better, much better role for him.
- [43:59]
Chip
What I've noticed about Patrick McHenry is I think he's gotten bigger goofier glasses. Now the one thing you want to date yourself with a haircut like that, if you look back in five years you'd be like what was up with the big goofy glasses? These big goofy glasses are crushing. Like I even see kids wearing big goofy glasses. I don't know what the deal is. I mean they're not even sensible anymore. Like sometimes they're like bigger than their face or like these giant. And I guess it's a statement of some kind. But I don't know man. Like you look back and it's like the trendy thing Those trendy things make you look, I mean, you look back into like, you know, the 50s and 60s where you can pick out a. Oh, yeah, but these big goofy glasses, my God, Jeff, they're just, it's just too much.
- [44:39]
Jeff
It's too much. Trying to think who else wears funny glasses like that.
- [44:44]
Chip
They all do. But you know, this, this one was fantastic. Our favorite senator has a couple great sound bites in this job. This is our favorite Senator Kennedy. Here he is. Make of that deal. And, and what message do you think it sends to the rest of the world? World. And he's talking about the, the, you know, the terror. And Scott Besson said 130 countries. The trade deal with China is what he's talking about here. Trees are lined up.
- [45:12]
D
Well, I think it's obvious, unless you're the reason that your parents drank. You see that it was a big victory, not just for President Trump, but for America. Before the President did what he did, China's terror tariffs on the United States were little over 20% on average. Now they're 10. Our tariffs on China were little over 20. Now they're 30. That's what, a 20 point swing? Now I've listened all day to some of my Democratic colleagues say that, well, we, we, we didn't get anything for it. You know, if you believe that, I'm not saying you're the dumbest person in the world, but you better hope the dumbest person in the world doesn't die. It was a, it was a clear victory. The other point I would make, I think, I think Trump understands how to deal with China. Look, the Chinese, not the people of China. I'm speaking about the Chinese Communist Party. They're thieves. They steal with both hands. They will steal your socks without taking off your shoes. That's how they've gotten rich. We let them into the World trade organization on December 11th of 2001. They started cheating December 12th. And Trump was the first president he did this in the first term to ever stand up to China and say, stop the stealing. And now he's, he's doubled down and it's working. We still got a long way to go. China cheats on other ways besides tariffs with quotas and, and, and subsidies and stealing intellectual property. But, but this is a hell of.
- [47:03]
Chip
A good start, Jeff. That might be the best put on ever. I think I'm going to start using that. Look, you might not be the dumbest person. The world better hope the dumbest person doesn't die tomorrow.
- [47:16]
Jeff
I love it. I don't Know where he comes up with this stuff? But he's non stop funny.
- [47:24]
Chip
Who is that? Dennis Miller had those weird Dennis Miller quips, you know. But you know, center Ken has like these strange. The way he. He might not be the dumbest person in the world, but you better hope the dumbest person doesn't die. Come on. Everyone's going to use that at some point. It's just fantastic.
- [47:39]
Jeff
It's the best. By far the best.
- [47:40]
Chip
God, is that just fire?
- [47:42]
Jeff
Gotta love his stuff.
- [47:43]
Chip
That's. That's just bad. Pocahontas is a source. But they all are, you know, they're all absolutely. Just pathetic. Jeff likes that. Jeff.
- [47:51]
Jeff
We're all useless.
- [47:52]
Chip
Stealing ip. Absolutely. Greatest of all time. He's fantastic. Reincarnation of Will Rod. Yeah. Will Rogers. I could see a little bit of that in there too. Yeah, for sure. Geez, Chad, you must be old to know who Will Rogers is. Nobody knows who Will Rogers is. Jeff might not even know. I know. Do you know Jeff?
- [48:08]
Jeff
I know real Rogers.
- [48:09]
Chip
See, you're too old too. I was trying to give you. I was trying to give you a lifeline. Be like I don't know who he is. It wasn't. I don't know anything about him.
- [48:14]
Jeff
Who's Will Rogers?
- [48:16]
Chip
Yeah, see there, that's the way.
- [48:18]
Jeff
But I was thinking Westerns. Seeing westerns.
- [48:23]
Chip
Yeah.
- [48:24]
Jeff
Is he. He was an actor.
- [48:26]
Chip
He was an actor. Well, he was an actor. He was also a philanthropist. He was. He was an all around dude. He was a dude.
- [48:32]
Jeff
He was a country. Country. He was in westerns.
- [48:37]
Chip
He did a lot of western dude.
- [48:38]
Jeff
Old western flicks.
- [48:40]
Chip
Hell of a celebrity. He was a. He's good natured too. It's a funny, funny dude. Mr. Rogers. There we go. I'm gonna try. I was gonna say Mark Twain. There you go. Well, Mark Twain. But Will Rogers was. He was a campy D2. Mark Twain. Yeah. Now you're really going back, Chad.
- [48:57]
Jeff
Mark Twain.
- [48:57]
Chip
Geez. Mark Twain. Geez. Holy cow.
- [48:59]
Jeff
Everybody knows Mark Twain, but I don't think we lived in his era.
- [49:03]
Chip
I don't know. The younger people know. I don't think they had to read Mark Twain. Like it wasn't. It wasn't like you know, required reading.
- [49:08]
Jeff
I think so.
- [49:09]
Chip
I don't think so. Dude. There's a lot of weird that's been going on. You should know Raising Aaron. I mean.
- [49:14]
Jeff
Yeah. So my son read. They just recently read the Lord of the Flies, which was a kick ass book.
- [49:20]
Chip
Great book.
- [49:21]
Jeff
And then they moved on to Macbeth.
- [49:23]
Chip
Oh, wow. But she. He goes to a good private school. So that's why. That's why they're teaching him, like, actually actual stuff. I thought this was great. This was a Trump video.
- [49:33]
E
Oh, Peace through strength. Yeah.
- [49:35]
Jeff
Oh, I forgot to tell you. They did their engineering VC presentation yesterday.
- [49:40]
Chip
How'd that go?
- [49:41]
Jeff
He made it to the second round. So there were 40 groups. They made it, you know, into round number two. The freshman of one in their. In their group that they were competing against. So it wasn't their group, but one of the groups they competed against ended up winning the second round. So as the freshman and two other team members. So, you know, their presentation, he said they did pretty good. But that freshman's group, they made it to the third round from their school. So they moved on. And they had invented something, a device you could wear on the jawline that acoustically resonates sound through the jawbone so you can hear it, you know, regardless. So I. There's obviously things out there already that resonate off the bone, you know, so you can hear.
- [50:32]
Chip
Yeah.
- [50:32]
Jeff
I was like, that's not so. I don't know. Exactly.
- [50:36]
Chip
Nobody's wearing something here. Okay.
- [50:38]
Jeff
Right. So they made it to the third. But the winner, get this. The winner of all of it, the number one was. And. And so what he had said is the reason why these guys won is because they had a functional prototype. Whereas theirs, you know, was all AI software. Cameras, tracking eye movement, body movement, and heart rate monitors to determine whether or not, you know, your phone.
- [51:01]
Chip
What was the prototype?
- [51:02]
Jeff
While you're driving. So. Well, Aaron's prototype wasn't functional. Their prototype. I don't eat. But it was a functional prototype. So whatever they built actually worked. But the guys.
- [51:15]
Chip
Is it a good idea?
- [51:16]
Jeff
Well, they made it to round three, but it was because they had a workable prototype. And that's what he thinks.
- [51:20]
Chip
I need to know what the workable prototype was. Right.
- [51:23]
Jeff
No, I know. Exactly. So the number one group, they invented an alert system that if your baby's car seat comes on, comes unbuckled, that it would alert you. And they're the ones who won, like, in this whole. The whole event. And I'm like, come on. That's what, you know, that was the winner.
- [51:41]
Chip
I said, that's lame, dude.
- [51:43]
Jeff
And they did the whole thing over the Motorola compound. So Monday, they had to leave in suits, you know, so you have all these, you know, college kids, sophomores, freshmen up, up through senior level. You know, they're all dressed up to the nines and suits and stuff. And they competed against schools throughout. Throughout the area. So it's pretty cool.
- [52:02]
Chip
That's awesome, dude. Well, I knew he was going to go far. I was really impressed with the. The whole presentation, especially his presentation. Did a great thing, as they say. Yeah. As to use an apple analogy. They say the apple doesn't far. Fall too far from the tree. So he's got. He's got your, you know, guiding leadership. Must be all this podcast you do, Jeff.
- [52:21]
Jeff
Right.
- [52:22]
Chip
His presentation on camera was so slick. I was like, I was impressed. Dude. It's better than people in their 20s and the kids in high school.
- [52:29]
Jeff
He did really good. Oh, his presentation was solid. I said, it's gonna look pro because we got the.
- [52:36]
Chip
Should get permission from him to show it here. We should show a clip from it because I was really impressed with how good.
- [52:40]
Jeff
That would be. Really cool. I should ask if we can do it.
- [52:43]
Chip
Yeah, we'll see if we can. If he's cool with that, that'd be if he's cool to going out to all 27 of our viewers.
- [52:50]
Jeff
So I had him. So the last time I brought him to our. Our political meeting, I had him checking people in, you know, and I had him observe because he can get internship hours. So I'm setting him up. Setting him up in a. In a medical practice, hopefully, so he can get internship hours there. I'm setting him up in a medical company, like, so he's going to get all sorts of, like, business and medical experience. But I brought him into the political meeting, and he checked people in, made sure everyone was seated comfortably, made sure they got water, like, did this whole thing with like 40 people there, or maybe it was like 30, maybe 35, had everything. And then I saw him throughout the meeting. He was over there on his phone. I'm like, oh, maybe he lost patience with the whole event. And then as we're leaving, he's like, come on, can we go already? And I'm like, man, we got it. The last ones to leave, he took. He said, I took nine pages of notes. So he critiqued pages. He critiqued the entire meeting. So what he was doing on his phone, he wrote, like, overall, like, review of the total meeting, start to finish, critique of how we ran the meeting, critique how I open the meeting, how I presented the meeting, how the vice president handled his part in his speech, my speech, you know, how we report everything, how we invited the speakers up, how the speakers presented themselves, his review and critique of what they said, you know, what he thought they could have done better, that you Know, and what they thought they did good. You know what they did well. And like, he had this whole. And he gave me this whole outline. I'm like, oh, my God.
- [54:21]
Chip
You should ask him. Ask him. Text them and see if we can play it.
- [54:23]
Jeff
Yeah, that would be, that would be solid.
- [54:26]
Chip
Yeah, we don't need his notes. Just, just, just. Let's see his presentation.
- [54:30]
Jeff
Oh, his, his thing. Oh, that would be cool. On the next one, you know, the.
- [54:33]
Chip
Presentation video he made. It's two minute video.
- [54:36]
Jeff
Yeah, yeah, yep. I'll see if we can play that for Saturday or something. I'll ask him if we can do it. Yeah, that was really cool.
- [54:46]
Chip
Hubcaps. Hey, Norseman's here. Check it out. He's been a minute. Norseman's here. Yeah, OG Norseman. What's up, dude? Jeff's kid is chat gbt. He is. I mean, the kid's smart. Smart as hell, man. I watched that presentation. I'm like, holy geez. I mean, you got up in front of the room with the dirty, crumpled up piece of paper. It's like, read from. That's like, you know, it was way before PowerPoint, thank God. But yeah, everything was just slick on there, dude. Yeah, text them. See if he gets a kick out of us. This was a cool sort of overview of Trump's trip over to Middle East.
- [55:21]
E
We believe in peace through strength. You have to have the strength. I believe it is God's job to sit in judgment. My job to defend America and to promote the fundamental intervention interest of stability, prosperity and peace. We had 52 days of thunder and lightning on the Houthis in Yemen like they've never seen before. This was a swift, ferocious, decisive and extremely successful use of military force. So we hit them hard. We got what we came for, and then we got out. The gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so called nation builders, neocons or liberal nonprofits. The birth of a modern Middle east has been brought by the people of the region themselves. Peace, prosperity and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly.
- [56:26]
Chip
I mean, that was quite the speech. I mean, the whole presentation was phenomenal. They gave him a standing ovation. But. And then there was reactions. I saw some reaction videos. They. One woman said, I. It was. An attendant said, you know, the way he spoke, what he said, I. He could have gone another hour and I would have been all there for it. Like, it was well, but when he took a shot at the neocons and he took a shot NGOs, that was like. I was like double throat punched back to back, you know? I mean, it was a double throat punch. Holy cow, look at me coming in. Coming with the support. Love the man. If you hold that. You better hold. Phoenix Meme coin. I don't know. XRP is 15. Phoenix could see $0.08 to $0.05.00. 8 to 8.05. So it must be pretty low then, at this point. Great logo.
- [57:21]
Jeff
I'm in.
- [57:22]
Chip
Is. It's a. It's an XRPL meme coin. Right. Phoenix, wait till they get. Wait till some regulation passes and they get the badass. The badass yeti coin. That'll be awesome.
- [57:34]
Jeff
That we're excited for. Oh, yeah. Get some, Phoenix. Get some badass yeti. Yeah, we gotta play the Got up. Damn it. Ah.

Jeff

Oh, no, I'm sorry, Joseph.
- [61:31]
Jeff
Oh, Joseph.

Chip
That was. Right.

Jeff
Joseph is the winner.
- [61:36]
Chip
Joseph Lachey. Joseph Lashay here.
- [61:41]
Jeff
Joseph.
- [61:42]
Chip
I can't believe that. I'm sorry about that. I. It gets me too. It's like, you gotta wait for that.
- [61:47]
Jeff
Oh, it's so close.
- [61:49]
Chip
You gotta wait for the day of confetti.
- [61:51]
Jeff
Where is Joseph?
- [61:54]
Chip
See, you gotta say, I'm here, dude. Otherwise, we're gonna have to redraw again. Oh, Joseph, le. Are you. That got rugged. Damn. Zed was so close. All right.
- [62:18]
Jeff
But no, Joseph, you know what that means?
- [62:21]
Chip
I don't see it, man. I don't see Joseph here.
- [62:23]
Jeff
What's up? Joseph's not here. I gotta play the second reition.
- [62:28]
Chip
All right, let me play this quick video first. Media just gave Trump a new title.
- [62:34]
D
The true president of the world. When Trump arrived in Riyadh, it wasn't just diplomacy.
- [62:38]
Chip
It looked like a coronation.
- [62:40]
D
He was greeted with golden sabers, white.
- [62:42]
Chip
Arabian stallions, and a royal motorcade fit for a king.
- [62:46]
D
It was imperial treatment.
- [62:48]
Chip
The democrats can't stand them. The libs hate them. What do you think the world's gonna do? The ones with the tds, the Trump deranged syndrome. What do you think they're gonna do when they find out that he owns the world? That he is labeled a king? We've been telling you, trust the plan. He's more than what we think. He is God's chosen, David, and this is God's plan. There you go. There's some commentary. The lips were super. Upset. They, they were, they were super upset. I love how she says he's the chosen data.
- [63:38]
Jeff
Oh, wait, Joseph showed up. Joseph.
- [63:42]
Chip
All right, be good, be good. Norrison. Appreciate you, man.
- [63:45]
Jeff
Look at that.
- [63:46]
Chip
He did show up. Okay, Joseph, get your wallet. Dude, we waited in there, we held in there for you. So congratulations, Joseph Lachey. Congrats. You are now proud owner of Rizzo. What is it? Rizzet? Rizzo. Rizzy, you're the proud owner, man.
- [64:04]
Jeff
So the question is now we need your Zaman wallet. Got your Zaman wallet ready? I don't see it. Joseph. Need your zombie wallet.
- [64:23]
Chip
Frank Rizzo. Hey, it's Frank Rizzo. Oh, the Frank Rizzo. Dude, you're bringing me back.
- [64:28]
Jeff
Oh, Rizzo. Oh, that's right.
- [64:30]
Chip
What was that from the Jerky Boys? Yeah, that's right. It may take a minute.
- [64:37]
Jeff
Oh, oh, seriously?
- [64:46]
Chip
Yeah. Let me play something while we're waiting here.
- [64:48]
Jeff
All right.
- [64:49]
Chip
You know these Trump baby. You know these baby. Everyone's doing a debate. Turn that sound off, please, please.
- [64:56]
Jeff
Trying to find it.
- [64:57]
Chip
So the baby, it turned off and played a video here.
- [65:00]
Jeff
There you go. I had to scroll all the way down.
- [65:01]
Chip
There you go. All right, so this is the Trump baby. You know, everyone's doing. Everything's a baby. No, this is a baby post. They're doing all these videos as like excerpts from movies as babies. So this is what the one. This is the one from the debate.
- [65:17]
D
I've changed the law.
- [65:19]
F
What's happened? I've changed it in a way that now you're in a situation where there are 40% fewer people coming across the border illegally. That's better than when he left office. And I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the total initiative relative to what we can do with more border patrol and more asylum officers.
- [65:42]
E
I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either. Look, we had the safest border in the history of our country.
- [65:49]
F
That $2 trillion tax cut benefited the very wealthy. What I'm going to do is fix the tax system. For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America. I mean billionaires in America. And what's happening? They're in a situation where they in fact pay 8.2% in taxes. If they just paid 24%, 25%, either one of those numbers, they'd raised $500 million billion dollars, I should say in a 10 year period we'd be able to. Right. Wipe out his debt. We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do.
- [66:22]
Chip
All right.
- [66:23]
Jeff
That looked real. I need your help for something. My phone's dead. Oh, tech doesn't work when your phone is dead. In the private chat, I put a link to the badass yeti and the wallet.
- [66:38]
Chip
Okay, you get to pull it up.
- [66:41]
Jeff
You get to transfer this bad boy over to Joseph. All right, let's do it, Joseph.
- [66:46]
Chip
See, I'm putting it up online there, and then I got the wallet address, so then I.
- [66:53]
Jeff
As soon as I know you transferred it, I gotta sign off. The Ghost is set. Everything's in the Ghost also, so you're good to go with everything.
- [67:01]
Chip
But hang on. I didn't. I didn't connect. I don't have the Zen wallet connected here. Oh, so that's not good.
- [67:08]
Jeff
You don't have your Zaman wallet ready? This is.
- [67:13]
Chip
Well, I have to make sure that it's a.
- [67:16]
Jeff
This is not going to be epic.
- [67:18]
Chip
I have to make. I just want to make sure. On the chain is there.
- [67:21]
Jeff
Oh, yeah.
- [67:22]
Chip
It's not my own personal one. You know what I mean?
- [67:25]
Jeff
Oh, yeah. You wouldn't be able to transfer it to them.
- [67:29]
Chip
Where's this? Where do you scan it from?
- [67:30]
Jeff
Dude, the blue button. Hit the. Hit the blue tab, then that's how you scan it. Once you go to transfer, go to XRP Cafe. Transfer. Once the QR code is up, go to the Zaman wallet. Hit the blue button in the middle.
- [67:51]
Chip
There's no blue, but. Oh, the.
- [67:54]
Jeff
At the bottom.
- [67:55]
Chip
I got you. I got you. Okay.
- [67:57]
Jeff
And then, boom. Scan and then swipe, and then I'll start transferring it. Easy squeezy. Dude, it's so amazing. I can't imagine how easy it is.
- [68:10]
Chip
Did he get it or no?
- [68:12]
Jeff
Well, you'll see it transfer. You gotta watch. Make sure you watch. You gotta watch the XRP Cafe.
- [68:19]
Chip
Yeah, you gotta transfer. What? You got it. Joseph has to trans. He has to go to his Zomban wallet and accept it. It's under. What is it?
- [68:26]
Jeff
Did you see it go through? You saw it succeed? No, you didn't.
- [68:32]
Chip
Nothing happened.
- [68:32]
Jeff
But it'll say that there's the QR code gone.
- [68:35]
Chip
Yeah. Then it's gone and everything, so.
- [68:38]
Jeff
And you swiped it?
- [68:39]
Chip
Yeah.
- [68:40]
Jeff
You scanned and swiped and it's gone?
- [68:43]
Chip
Yeah. So we should have it then.
- [68:45]
Jeff
That's it. Let's look.
- [68:47]
Chip
Should have it. It just says we still own it.
- [68:51]
Jeff
Yeah, we'll still own it if I did it properly. Let me see.
- [69:00]
Chip
Reese. Reese is the name of it.
- [69:01]
Jeff
Reese, Reese.
- [69:04]
Chip
Reese. I don't know.
- [69:06]
Jeff
I just got here.
- [69:12]
Chip
I might be an idiot. Offers. You gave me the wrong inductions. And I think I screwed it up pretty good right there.
- [69:20]
Jeff
What'd you do? You took it?
- [69:23]
Chip
I didn't put his wallet address here.
- [69:25]
Jeff
Oh, well, then what did you do?
- [69:27]
Chip
I had my wallet address in there. We transferred it back to ourselves because I hit the send. But it doesn't. But it doesn't let you put the wallet. I'm sorry, where do you put the thing in there? I don't even see it.
- [69:40]
Jeff
The wallet on the XRP Cafe. Go to transfer. I sent you the guy, right? Open the guy.
- [69:48]
Chip
Here, I'll show you.
- [69:50]
Jeff
And then you hit transfer. Plug it in there.
- [69:52]
Chip
Gotcha. Right.
- [69:53]
Jeff
Then you plug it in, then you hit transfer.
- [69:55]
Chip
Yeah.
- [69:56]
Jeff
And the QR code comes in. Then you scan it, then you accept. And then it's gone.
- [70:00]
Chip
Well, the thing is, I would. I would. I. I do it from the phone. So I'm not. This. This whole doing it online is new to me.
- [70:10]
Jeff
Yeah, because no one's guaranteed.
- [70:12]
Chip
There we go. Okay, so there we go. Now it's there.
- [70:14]
Jeff
Now you see it transferring.
- [70:16]
Chip
Yeah.
- [70:17]
Jeff
Now you see it. It's doing its thing. It'll tell you.
- [70:20]
Chip
Verifying, verifying. And boom. It's successfully gone.
- [70:24]
Jeff
Joseph is now an owner. We were almost another owner. We would have rug pulled. The rug pull. We've never done that one before. Well, we rug pulled the winner. Who wins. And then we rug pull the winner and we keep our nft.
- [70:43]
Chip
Oh, dude. Here's another baby trump, America.
- [70:46]
E
Unless you're watching from California, then maybe not so good. Just kidding. Sort of. It's your favorite president. Some say the best ever. And tonight I've got a few things to say. So grab your popcorn, turn off the fake news, and let's talk about what's really going on. It's gonna be good. Really good.
- [71:08]
Jeff
Epic.
- [71:09]
Chip
Oh, my God.
- [71:10]
Jeff
That's awesome. Sorry, Chip, I gotta run. I gotta go back to my five. Zero. No, I'm not.
- [71:19]
Chip
What are you running to? They already won the game. There's no way they can win. Dude, so the game's over.
- [71:23]
Jeff
I know it's over, but it's over.
- [71:24]
Chip
Dude.
- [71:26]
Jeff
Told my neighbor I'd be back, so I can.
- [71:27]
Chip
Well, you will be back. It doesn't matter. When you get back, have another monkey shoulder. Well, don't have three monkey shoulders. You'll be in trouble.
- [71:35]
Jeff
No, no. Just gonna have one more and then that's it.
- [71:38]
Chip
