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 world to tell you what's going on. Something interesting. That's right. The financial system right now. And if you can, if you can connect all the dots from just the past couple days, it really starts to paint a pretty fascinating picture. We're seeing movement on u. S. Stablecoin legislation. Hopefully we're going to see more of that happening over there in congress. Ripple releasing new institutional data around digital assets. The RL USD expanding onto new platforms and new infrastructure quietly emerging on the XRP ledger. Now, none of these headlines seem huge on their own, but when you actually put them all together, it's a little like smelling smoke in the kitchen. Something's cooking. And when you zoom out, it starts to look like the rails of the financial system might actually be shifting.
- [00:55]
Chip
And for years, Jeff, the conversation around crypto was mostly about speculation and price. But what we're starting to see is a little bit, I would say different in regulation moving forward, which is we've been talking about it on this channel for six years preparing for digital assets. The blockchain networks like XRP starting to plug directly into real financial infrastructure. So you ready to get this puppy started?
- [01:19]
Jeff
Let's go.
- [01:20]
Chip
Let's go. Welcome to on the chain.
- [01:29]
Jeff
Oh, oh.

Chip
Where are we coming in from today? Hawthorne, Florida. Where we coming in today? We got XRP plumbing coming in from Florida. What is that? Is our Florida peeps in the house? Chad coming Celebration. Paxitani. Phil can suck it. There you go. That's that stupid little. What is he? He's a kind of an animal. Is that paxutani? What is he? He's a hedgehog or roadrunner. What is he? Some kind of thing. What the hell? He is hedgehog. He's a hedgehog. Hi, all. Narc told me not to come here. I ignored it. Beautiful. I love it. I love that. In fact, beautiful. Narc said. I know narc told you that, but that's cool. What does narc novi? It's late night. We have northeast Ohio. We've got NYC the. Oh, we got some NYC news today, people. All from Abu Dhabi.
- [02:24]
Jeff
What is groundhog? That's what those are.
- [02:26]
Chip
I knew what it was.
- [02:28]
Jeff
Groundhogs.
- [02:28]
Chip
I was like, it is a squirrel. Is it some kind of chipmunk? Hedgehog. Groundhog. I mean, what do we really talk about? Groundhogs that come out once a year to make some stupid prediction. Nobody cares about I mean, it's a cool pageantry in the pop pomp. And pageantry is fun. They, like, hold the hedgehog out and he goes. He sees his shadow. And meanwhile, you never even hear about it. You never hear from them. A groundhog. What do you ever hear about groundhogs? It's the only time you ever knew what even groundhog was. Look at. We got Kansas in the house. Kansas is in the house. We got Cesspool in New York. Cesspool, New York. Get the hell out of there, guys. Get out. Get out as soon as you can. Jeff. There's some cool. There's so much great stuff coming on. You know, you do show prep for this show, and there's so much good stuff. You can't. Can't do it all. We can't do it all. We're already doing an hour and a half show sometimes. Jeff.
- [03:20]
Jeff
That's right.
- [03:21]
Chip
But look at this. We're gonna get Ashish Burla, who is the CEO founder of Evernorth. I keep pinging him. He's just busy. But he will come on the show. We'll get him on here.
- [03:33]
Jeff
Love to see him on here.
- [03:34]
Chip
Yeah, we'll definitely get him on. He said he would do the show when I saw him in New York. He's like, chip, I'll do the show. I know your show. We'll do it. But, you know, he's got a lot going on. And this ever north here. XRP transactions nearing 3 million a day as of this week, up from 1 million per day in 2025. That's triple. That's nearly triple. Yeah, it's pretty good. Price moves attract attention. Activity shows where adoption is growing for more financial assets are moving on chain. Learn more here. And he's got. Right here, he's got the. There's a sheesh. And I did get a chance to ask him about the merch shirt, Jeff. Which he'll come on here and answer because when he. The day that the SEC V Ripple suit settled, he had that our merch shirt laid out on the chair. And he's like, I'm repping this bad boy today. So he'll come on here and we'll talk about the merch. I think, remember, they sold. We sold 60 of them. We're like, who bought 60 of them? Well, it turns out probably was Ripple or somebody at Ripple. And Ashish goes on to say a commentary I've heard within the XRP community this month is some version of why is XRP price dislodged from adoption Metrics. Well, here's my quick take. XRP is not yet a liquidity bridge at scale. I think that is really key. It's not a liquidity bridge at scale. The version of XRP that we believe could drive sustained utility demand is when banks and businesses leverage it as working capital. We receive signals from institutional uses growing not just as fast as from traffic from everyday people. This is not investment advice or a price prediction, but I know which set of data we focus on at Evernorth. And Jeff, what is your thought about this statement right there as one of the perpetrators when it comes to price action?
- [05:24]
Jeff
Yeah, not yet a liquidity bridge at scale. The version of XRP that we believe could drive sustained utility demand is when banks and businesses leverage it as working capital. And I think that's actually spot on, you know. So up until this point, if we look at where price point of XRP is, it's all based on speculation. It's all based on hype and fomo. So once we start seeing actual utility, if we can see them leveraging and these institutions levering XRP in working capital, if they're looking for liquidity, they're looking for. It's really going to come down to utility and building and infrastructure. Until you start seeing that happen, it's still going to be in a speculative and people are continuously over all these years, you know, everyone wants to know when we're going to see XRP split from or decouple from Bitcoin. It's not going to happen until that's in place. Bitcoin's going to lead the market only because that's the, the big record and we talk about this all the time. But you know, Bitcoin has its. You has its use case. It's a store of value. That's it. You know, and so it's been identified already and it has first name recognition in, in the space. XRP needs something more to push it to the next level. We're getting there. We're starting to see like with RL USD we're starting to see recognition with ETFs. I think ETFs are going to be a big push. Oh yeah, still young. But this is like the next big cycle that's going to move things forward.
- [07:00]
Chip
Yeah. And right here, designations 8. So I got XRP when it was 20 cents. Should I keep holding long term? I mean nobody can tell you what you should do. But given where the space is probably going and given the fact that we've already seen XRP surpass $3.50. So, I mean, it's pretty predictable that at some point it will get up to that high or surpass it. But what Jeff is alluding to here is we talk about the ETFs, and then we also take a look at what Evernorth is doing, like having that liquidity available, creating that to be able to use that liquidity bridge at scale. It's going to be a differentiator. Also, too. I think Ripple's refocus on how they are looking at what's going on in the ecosystem with the Zodao coming up on a thousand members. If you haven't joined Zao Dao, go to Zao Dao X A O d a o IO and go ahead and join. It's $10. You pay it the equivalent of XRP. But when it hits a thousand members, that's when the proposals can start. That's when you can start voting on proposals. That's when we can see Zodiac, the community, having a voice and what happens and what gets built. Because it comes down to builders and the ecosystem too. Jeff and I have always been big advocates of that. If you don't have anybody building in the community and leveraging the xrpl, it can't be all institutional and it can't all be on Ripple. Ripple is doing their part, but the Ripple has a business to run. They've got shareholders, so they've got to worry about that, you know. But yeah, Bill Murray did have a movie, it was called Groundhog Day, where he woke up every morning, the day repeated. And sometimes I feel like in life, sometimes we have those Groundhog days where you wake up and you're like, didn't I just do this yesterday and the day before and the day before, like elements of your life, just sort of like reef. And then we also have cash. Velocity says now do flare. We should be getting some traction. Yeah, Flare is so inexpensive right now. People will be like, oh, stop moving right now. But what they're building and also what they're doing on the. On the bitcoin front as well. Bitcoin, they're bringing two huge communities in. XRP community, but also the bitcoiners and Doge at some point will come in as it'll make utility for Doge. And you think about where it could potentially go. Yeah, one penny, two penny. People are like, ah, I'm not gonna buy it then. But then when it's at like 40 or 50 cents, people are like, oh, I had the chance to buy it in a penny. I Don't know. I was sleeping on it. So you never really know. Bitcoin needs deformed to become quantum resistant. That will be fun. At some point it has to happen. You know, there's got to be something there. Jim D says. Well, holding on is risks wetting your britches from a benign hyperplasma. We haven't heard that word britches in a long time. That's a great word. My grandma used to say all the time. Yeah, get your britches over here. Your britches. Britches. What a great word. They say we were young and we don't know. That's right. That's what they say. And so Evernote put the statement out, Jeff. They put out this, this press release. Ever north to go public with over a billion dollars in gross proceeds. And this is from what they reiterated last year. Ever north holdings formed the Nevada Corporation will enable XRP adoption at an institutional scale. Public launch of the execution of business combination with the Armada Acquisition Corp. Transaction expected to raise over a billion in gross proceeds including 200 million from SBI. You know SBI has been very steeped over the bank in Japan. Very steeped. Also a Ripple shareholder and additional investments from Ripple, Ripple Works and independent charitable foundation supporting social impact ventures globally and leading the digital asset fintech leaders. So this Evernor thing kind of it felt like it came out of nowhere but when you saw Sheesh Barla was involved with it, it made a lot more sense. It started making a lot of sense. Here's Reese Merrick. Reese Merrick, another rippler. He's a senior executive officer managing director of Middle east and Africa. All these are his own. But check this out, Jeff. He says the debate is over the ripple 2026 survey of a thousand plus financial leaders provides insight into where finance is going. So 72% of finance leaders say that digital assets are now table stakes. 74% see stablecoins as a Treasury tool for not just for payments. And 89% say custody is a top priority. 71% of corporates prefer a one stop shop infrastructure provider. These are big numbers, Jeff. Like this isn't like 20%, 30% we saw in years past. We're talking about over 70% as high as 90% think custody is a top priority. And if you think about what Ripple's doing, they all they offer all these, right? They have their own stable coin RL USD. They have their own custody solution. They prefer a one stop shop. They have a one stop shop provider. This is all beneficial to Ripple and some of the top acquisitions they've made over the last four years.
- [11:56]
Jeff
That's interesting. It's a. It's quite a. Quite an interesting survey, you know, overall. And you really start digging in to identify growth within the space and leadership in the space. You know, I like seeing, you know, pure development, I think, you know, based on. And. And we become. Everybody becomes very Ripple centric. And I think as we. You really identify, you know, builders, you know, that's why we talk about flare, we talk about Ripple. We're bringing up Zaldao, Zao hits a thousand, we're gonna see exponential growth within, within the platforms. Then, you know, from there looking for more development in the space, you know, and it's unfortunate that over all these years, you know, we haven't had more than a handful of companies to really focus in on that are expanding in the XRPL that are seeing, you know, massive growth and internal adoption. Like what we're seeing, you know, from Ripple and Flare in the directions that they're building in. It would be nice to be able to focus in on. On other projects as well. But, you know, from Ripple's perspective, doing that survey is really showing what's happening from. From a financial infrastructural perspective. And that is where Main Street's at. Main street adoption, Main street acceptance of crypto asset through stablecoin and, and kind of beyond. So that's where 100. Yeah.
- [13:30]
Chip
Jeff, take this next story. Update on what's going on with the Clarity act here.
- [13:34]
Jeff
Yeah, let's see where we. Where are we with the Clarity Act? That's what I would like to know. Because here we finally have a bipartisan deal coming together up. And so let's see what we have. The Clarity act just cleared its biggest hurdles. Senator Thom Tillis from North Carolina, Republican, and Senator Angela also Brooks, Democrat out of Maryland. Imagine having that, having that name running around. You're also Brooks, not just.
- [14:00]
Chip
What about Brooks? There's Brooks and also Brooks.
- [14:03]
Jeff
Also Brooks. It was confirmed Friday they have an agreement in principle with the White House on stablecoin yield language that stalled crypto market structure legislation for months. Senator Tillis and I do have an agreement in principle also. Brooks said it will also. It will allow us to protect innovation, but also give us the opportunity to prevent widespread deposit light, which is obviously they're thinking from a banking structure perspective. Tillis added, in working with the White House, I think we have an agreement now we have to vet it with the industry because they are a party to an ultimate deal. They the fact that they're even contemplating going to the industry is, is a big deal because typically you'll see them just start voting on policy and they don't bring in industry leaders or they're bringing the wrong leaders.
- [14:54]
Chip
Jeff, if I may, if I may interject here. The reason they're thinking that way is because we saw the last election cycle how pivotal crypto was and the pro crypto candidates won. Whether even the pro crypto Democrats won. The ones that were not pro crypto got destroyed. So they understand this is a big deal. But you're right, doesn't matter because a lot of times that gets ignored. But I think that's why they're paying a closer attention to it.
- [15:20]
Jeff
Yeah, I think so too. It's a really good point. The bill could now move to a Senate vote within weeks. Wow. Weeks away. If passed, it would end regulation by enforcement and bring clear rules on token classification, intermediary standards, RWA tokenization and small transaction tax clarity, which, you know, just do away with the tax, forget the
- [15:43]
Chip
tax, get rid of it.
- [15:45]
Jeff
Get rid of that over taxation. That, that was probably the Democrats wanted that part in. The House passed the Clarity act in July 2025. The Senate version has been stuck in banking Committee over the stablecoin yield fight between banks and crypto firms. That fight is coming to an end. It might be over. So let's see how that all pans out. And the banks are doing everything they can to make sure that they get a piece of the action. You know, they don't want to lose the action. I and I'm going to stick to what we always talk about, which one comes first. Do the banks start buying up crypto houses or do the crypto houses start buying up banks? And I, we're probably going to see a combination of both. But I think there's more money floating around with some of the crypto houses. Like, you know, what we see over at Kraken or Gemini or, you know, what we're seeing with Coinbase and what we're seeing with Ripple. Ripple's got so much money floating out there. Some of these banks, you know, they're just prime purchases. And so I think we're going to start seeing some interesting times ahead. They passed that legislation, which is a big play. Once that goes through, then we're going to start seeing some massive acquisition. And so 26, 27 is probably going to be more interesting because 26 is, is legislation. Year plus, it's an election cycle. So I think they're probably going to wait, you know, and see exactly how that all pans out November for midterms here in 26, that pushes us into 27 to start seeing how these, you know, acquisitions play out. And that's, that's going to be interesting. And things are shifting. It's going to shift dramatically.
- [17:26]
Chip
Yeah. And Lucky Star commented that, yes, the agreement is we get zero yield. And the funny part about it is if you're in the crypto community, you're not, you don't really care too much about stable coins. Now, if you're looking to park some capital, let's say there's volatility in the market and you just want to park it into a stable coin for a little bit till you kind of see what's going on. Yeah. Okay. If you're looking for maybe an off ramp and you kind of want to just park some there, you know, price goes up, you want to park 20% of your portfolio into a stable coin. But in the crypto business, what do we really care? I mean, most of the yield is going to come off of a, a another, you know, altcoin token. Right. Or Bitcoin itself. So what, what do you really care? I think more or less that is for people, it's for a different segment. And I understand the banks are worried about outflows, but the outflows are going to go out of the bank into a, into an altcoin. Now, it won't hit the general public where they might do it, but banks are missing a big opportunity. Of course, all they did was Google this and you know, Google has Google. No tentative agreement between the senators follows the genius act. We don't even know what the, what that is. But the key, you know, if I go back to that, the point that was made in the previous one, I say agreed in principle. Well, the principle was you get yield on stable coins. That was the principle. So if you've agreed on principle, if you change that principle, then say that, hey, we have a compromise. But don't say we've agreed in principle because the principle was that you, that there was going to be, it was going to be, you were going to be able to get yield on stable coins. And the banks are worried about the outflows. The outflows will happen without it. The crypto savvy people will leave the banks anyway. So they're missing a huge potential opportunity here in the, in the long run. So I don't really worry about that.
- [19:10]
Jeff
It's a net positive though, chip, you know, and I think that's where, you know, some within the crypto space, they really need to look at this as a net positive. Once banks and financial institutions or you know, first, obviously full regulatory clarity allows the financial institutions and the banks us to really start recognizing stablecoin as true financial instruments that can be utilized within the ecosystem. Once we see that happen, it also is going to open up the door even further for more institutional capital to flood into crypto projects. You know, so we're going to see banks custody over stablecoin, we're going to see payment processing integrating stablecoin, we're going to see asset managers that are incorporating. So across the board it's going to be fairly impressive. You know, so we have institutional trading, obviously we have to look towards tokenized asset, then you have settlement rails, all the different things that have to be orchestrated within the financial institution. And this opens up the door to so much more. And so that's where we have to really consider that this move is probably one of the biggest, you know, obviously the biggest piece of legislation that we've seen up to this point that is going to transform the entire industry. So 100 stay tuned for tokenized treasuries, tokenized stocks, tokenized real estate, tokenized commodities. And, and we're, we're moving there and
- [20:49]
Chip
a really good move. Yeah, it's, the market's changing at a fast pace, thank God. Well, that's what happens when you have a pro crypto administration and president. Right? Turns out that's all we really needed. I mean the, the moon boys and the people are like, oh, the SEC issued a thing, a statement saying that XRP and other altcoins are crypto commodities. Well, it doesn't really matter because if you remember back to Chevron, agencies don't make rules that aren't built great, grounded in legislation. And what interpretation of, what is that interpretation of 1933-34 security laws is that pertaining to the 1947 Howie test? This is all BS. It doesn't matter. You can make up all the rules you want. The new chair is no different than the last chair. The new chair is just Gary Gensler with a different mask. His mask is pro crypto. The last chair was anti crypto. So you, you, you hate the fact that when Gensler was basically enforcing, you know, it was, you know, what do they say it was like constantly, you know, enforcing through legislation, you know, legislation or actually through prosecution, but that you didn't like that. But you like it when a guy says, oh yeah, it's all pro crypto now. Well, it's not. It's not grounded in any legislation and it's meaningless. And all the. The goofy boys like the bankless guys, you think those guys would know better, but sometimes I wonder if they're not dumber than rocks. I really have to wonder because they make some dumb statements and they should know better. They're really steeped in it. They have a lot of people on it from the industry. Jim D makes a good point here. He says what may prove to be an ironic best use case for XRP moving the global debts all around the planet in a digital game of musical chairs to rug pull others tokenize all the debt. There you go. That could possibly be it.
- [22:34]
Jeff
I like that idea though. I think tokenized debt allows people to. To. If you can tokenize and then invest in. In debt, what better thing can you do? I mean that's. That's amazing.
- [22:46]
Chip
I smell especially good idea Jeff.
- [22:48]
Jeff
I like the idea.
- [22:49]
Chip
PB2981 says. Greetings from Slovakia. You guys are great. Well good. Leave a comment because our comments look like in our and our videos are like you guys are the most boring two people and they write this whole diatribe about how they hate us. We read them on air and I'm like well thanks for taking the time because people like us don't even take the time to say hello, you know. So I always appreciate you guys coming in and saying that fractional lending will. There you go. Fractional lending 75 of chance of passing now in April. The Clarity Act. Yeah and we've heard this from from from a lot of the naysayers. They will never pass this year. The whole year will pass by the midterms are coming in one pass. Look, this is that and the Save America act is the two most popular things that basically have to pass. There isn't really no other important legislature and you know, everything passes the House and the Senate is where bills go to die. Senate is the most useless thing in the entire world. They are absolute garbage. Moving on. Here we got T54AI. Agent Commerce is coming to XRPL. With Virtual's IO agents can transact autonomously escrow jobs, verification through evaluators and program settlement using T54's X402 facilitator agents can already natively pay an XRP and RLUSD. Then we have Ripple X took that and they commented and said Agent Commerce coming to the xrpl. And then on top of that virtual's protocol, this is what they're naming in the article Virtuals Protocol Virtuals is powering agent Commerce in the XRPL. 95 billion plus in cumulative transactions volume, 75 plus regulatory licenses across global markets. The ledger built from day one for payments is now extending to aging Commerce. Together with T54AI, Virtuals is bringing the commerce infrastructure for agents to transact. And this is powerful. These kind of companies that are doing this are actually making a lot of, a lot of groundwork and moving forward on the xrpl. Then you've got I Trust announcing that Ripple USD known as RL USD is now available at I Trust. If you guys don't have an I Trust account they are, you can get one. We should be using our link, Jeff. Our, our link.
- [25:12]
Jeff
We do need to use our link.
- [25:14]
Chip
We have to use our link. We'll, we'll start promoting that. But what's nice about that is we benefit and you benefit. So you get, you get money, we get money. So if you hold off a little bit, we'll make the link available, put it in the and down there and that way we can both benefit. But this is big too. And what is, you know, iTrust Capital is not only they're a custody provider but they're also used for like 401k type accounts, retirement accounts that you can sock away money. So better on the taxes. Like if you are looking at, if you're a long term hodler and you're 45 or 50 years old, it makes sense to just throw it in there. And that way when you pull it out, you know the taxing is a little easier than if you're gonna. And again it depends on what happens with this Clarity legislation. They're saying micro payments on the taxation, they might make it 600 or less doesn't get taxed, which means there'll be a lot of outflows of $600 payments, you know, so that people don't get taxed on it. So itrust is a good custody solution as well. We're not promoting one over the other. We're just saying they offer that and if it's something you, you want to look in and do your research on, then you can do that. So a lot of them, Caleb and Brown, there's a ton of those type of organizations out there that do that, which is absolutely fantastic. I trust you have to have Roth IRAs. That is correct. I have one over there, but I have my stuff split up too. I have it on another provider as well. So you know, I like to. The same way as with crypto, you shouldn't have it all in one place, it should be split. If you got. If you're going to do self custody, have it across few different self custody solutions. You don't want to put it all on one. If you're someone that likes to keep it on exchange, same thing, spread it out. If you're somebody that likes to do a combination, but you know, it should never be in one, fractional licensing will continue per the bill. Yep, of course it will. That's. But you know, look, I mean you can hold back people for a certain period of time, but the banks eventually will either they're going to adopt, it's the same. We saw this like the Internet came on there. Newspapers were huge and the newspapers never adopted. They were always like, yeah, we'll put our newspaper online. Yeah, we'll try to put a paywall up. But they basically lost a lot of ground. You know, I mean I can remember my parents were always like in the. There was always a couple papers stacked up because they would read the newspaper every day. I'm like couldn't be bothered to ever read a newspaper. First of all, I hated the feel of it on my hands. But even when I was younger I was like, I was always been digital. Somebody asked me the other day like, hey, do you have checks? Can you write a check? I go, dude, I hate to tell you this but I haven't had a checkbook since 1997. I went all online, all in on payments. So I have to ask my wife, she can sometimes she has to bail me out with the checks. She still has checks. I don't have checks. I don't use them for anything. Everything I pay is online. So you know, I've been boom, boom. I've had, you know, people like, I've had, I've had basically a strong Internet connection since 97 as well. People are like, oh, they're still using dial up and stuff. Not here, not here. Big adopter Jeff.
- [28:09]
Jeff
That's right.
- [28:10]
Chip
I want to talk a little bit about this. The Trump hosted Prime Minister Takachi Sanai for dinner at the White House. She was in town. So we got some clips to play from that Japan huge ally partner of the United States. Here is the, this is. I want to show the video. Now a lot of this is in Japanese but for a reason. Because I want to show you how the Prime Minister's office in Japan views the visit of the Prime Minister coming to the US this isn't from a US perspective, it's from Japanese perspective. So some of it's Going to be in Japanese, but there's a reason I want to show it and the way that they're positioning it for use in Japan.
- [28:52]
Jeff
Here we go.
- [28:56]
Chip
Here's the Prime Minister.
- [28:58]
Japanese Prime Minister
Congratulate the Prime Minister on that. Unbelievable all over the world that we're talking about that victory in last month's election. Winning by numbers that, as I said, nobody's ever seen in Japan before.
- [29:41]
Chip
I've never seen anybody happier to be at the White House, Jeff. This was like, you know, she's usually pretty. She's pretty, you know, poker face, but, man. And when I saw her looking at the Biden auto pen picture on the wall, she was laughing at it. That was one of the greatest moments. I couldn't find the clip. I did see it online, but I couldn't find it. Here it is. They're walking hand in hand.
- [30:01]
Jeff
Amazing.
- [30:05]
New York Politician
Japan back.
- [30:06]
Chip
Japan is back. And that's right from the Prime Minister's office. So it's nice the way they positioned it. They showed, you know, the. The violins playing at the White House. They showed all the people there.
- [30:22]
Jeff
Awesome.

It nice to see the positioning from their side, you know, and viewing this as a big deal. And I think it definitely is a big deal. Here's Trump was just funny. Yeah, Trump was great. Well, I got. We have those clips here, but let's watch this.
- [30:34]
Japanese Prime Minister
I'm delighted to welcome a great friend and partner for her very first visit to the White House. We've become very close. So close that I endorsed her for her election then. She did well. She got the greatest to highest number ever gotten by somebody running for the highest position in Japan, beating out a lot of our friends. And it's a tremendous tribute. And that's our really amazing friend, the Japanese Prime Minister, who's going to speak in just a few minutes. But we're very honored to have you with us tonight. Thank you.
- [31:17]
Chip
It's really great to see that, Jeff.
- [31:19]
Jeff
It was really awesome. Especially everything she's been doing in Japan. Oh, in Japan. Straight. So she's really, really important. Oh, man.
- [31:29]
Chip
Yeah. And, you know, it's. I just saw something, too, where on the floor of. I don't know what. They're. What.
- [31:34]
Jeff
They're.
- [31:35]
Chip
One of their. One of the representatives was saying that there will not be no mosques. There will be no. There will be no Muslims buried in Japan. There will be none of that. They don't want anything to do with it. They're cutting it all off because they see what's happening around the world. They see the takeover. And this is the one thing I really appreciate. You know, I was in Japan with my wife in. In December for almost two weeks, and. And I have to say that, you know, the Japanese culture is phenomenal. I love how amazingly disciplined they are, but it's amazing to see how they treat their elderly. It's amazing to see how well behaved they're. The. The young kids are the real young kids that can be a pain in the ass and whining and crying, but they're very well behaved. And just getting on a, you know, a subway and just hearing quiet, you know, not. And seeing how perfectly. Jeff's over there laughing at something. I don't know what he's laughing at, but. But seeing. Oh, coffee. Coffee. Good. But it was. But just. That's it. You know, the reason we visited Japan is we want to see Japanese culture the same way if we go to Paris, we want to see French culture. And guess what? It doesn't exist anymore. And the UK is gone. I don't see the UK Coming back. The UK is done. Unless there's some sort of a civil war, which I think may be brewing over there. The UK is done. It's been conquered by Islam, and it will become an Islamic state. And they're slowly not becoming allies anyway, because you got powder puff loser over there and Keir Starmer, who's one of the most ineffective boys that ever existed on the planet.
- [33:08]
Jeff
He's the worst.
- [33:09]
Chip
Look at this. So here we go. We continue with the Japanese Prime Minister states.
- [33:15]
Japanese Prime Minister
And Japan can be an unstoppable force for freedom, security, and progress for our countries and for the entire world to look up to. So let us stand together with the strength and dignity, purpose. Let us keep our people safe, our nations prospering, and our alliance flourishing for many, many generations to come. And with that, I'd just like to thank the Prime Minister. This is a spectacular woman, and it's an honor to have you with us at the White House. Thank you.
- [33:48]
Chip
Yeah, thank you. I mean, it's been really fantastic to see this awesome come together, and it's really one of our greatest allies. And this is how an ally treats the United States. They've made a significant investment in the United States showing that, you know, has the UK Made any investments? Zero. Have they done anything? No. And here's the baby version of something that did take place where Jeff was talking about the, you know, some of the humor of Donald Trump. But this. This one was funny. I mean, I. So many of my friends who had one, they don't really Send me much. But they all pounded me with this as if I had not seen it. But I was like, this is awesome.
- [34:24]
Jeff
Exactly right?
- [34:25]
Chip
Isn't that funny, Jeff? Like you have those friends out there, they're like, oh, Jeff, I really like this. And dude, you, you've seen it already, but it's just great that it's resonating with so many people. But this is the, the diaper version of it that, that 1x account that does diaper diplomacy. Here you go.
- [34:41]
Japanese Prime Minister
Pick a beautiful looking person from a beautiful person from Japan. A question for the prime minister. Go ahead. Yeah, sure. Oh, he doesn't is beautiful. He's a shouted shy.
- [34:56]
Chip
Go ahead, please. Of course, no, Japan and us are very good friends. But one question. Why didn't you tell US allies Karmer, Asia, like Japan about the war before attacking Iran? So we are very confused about we Japanese.
- [35:15]
Japanese Prime Minister
Well, one thing, you don't want to signal too much. You know, when we go in, we went in very hard and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay, right now you believe in surprise. I think much more so than us. And we had a surprise surprise and we did. And because of that surprise, we knocked out the first two days. We probably knocked out 50% of what we and much more than we anticipated doing. So if I go and tell everybody about it, there's no longer a surprise.
- [35:58]
Jeff
That was great diaper diplomacy. I love it.
- [36:02]
Chip
They do some of the best videos, Jeff. I really have to get my hats off to them. They do some tremendous job of putting those videos out. My God. There. That was really a really fun, fun sort of exchange. It's funny because what I've heard from some friends in Japan that's saying that they believe the Japanese people believe they're invited. There's been a little bit of revisionist history going on there where you know, that was that they were not necessarily as aggressive. It's been sort of downplayed a little bit. Prime Minister Kachi put this out here and this is from their perspective. Thank you, President Trump for your warm hospitality today at the White House. And this evening's dinner we had a substantive and forward looking discussions across a wide range of issues reaffirming the strength of the Japan U. S Alliance. It was truly meaningful and a productive day. I look forward to continuing close cooperation between Japan and the United States to make our two nations stronger, more prosperous
- [37:01]
Jeff
and of course,
- [37:04]
Chip
nope, I ain't gonna do it. But here's what the pictures they shared. So they had the, you know, the, the, I don't know if this is the armed Forces band, but they had the band playing the violins, you know, and the honor. And then here is the, you know, the conversation we're speaking. It's funny, it's great to see Abe Lincoln just looking out after everything over there, up top there on Abe Lincoln's portrait. And then you've got her talking and smiling and happy and just, you know, being treated like giving the royal sort of the welcome, you know, that you would see with any dinner. And hopefully in the future that, that standing, they're not going to be standing outside in a tent, you know, which is how they have these state dinners now. But they'll have the, the ballroom will be finished. They'll have a beautiful ballroom to actually have these, these hosted sort of events there.
- [37:54]
Jeff
They're building an amazing ballroom that wasn't paid for with tax dollars.
- [38:00]
Chip
And from the U S side, this is what the white official White House account shared right here. So you have President Donald J. Trump and Prime Minister Takachi right here. There they are right there. It's fun to see them both with the hands up, but you almost never seen her this happy because she's always very stern faced and it's like she's happy to be there. You can definitely tell that there's something, you know, very special between this, how
- [38:22]
Jeff
the, this is how the US Works with partners, you know, true coalition partners, you know, and then when you stab the US in the back and especially, you know, with Trump at the helm, you stamp Trump in the back and you think that that's going to go unnoticed. You know, previous administrations, the Europeans and everybody just walked all over our leadership and now we have a, you know, there's a, a line in the room and they don't really know how to respond to it anymore. You know, and so you think about years and years past, the US had that kind of bravado and then we've had all these kind of, you know, weak vehicle leaders that kind of allowed, allowed the, our country to be kind of demoralized. And so now you have a, a lion at the helm again. And it's just like, holy cow, this is going to attract the allies that we're attracting. Now you can see where the true partnerships are. You can see who really shares a similar vision, you know, towards freedom and this is it. And getting rid of that deep state that is really affecting, infecting and affecting everybody. You know, every country but. And that's it, you know, you look at what, what's happening over in England. And so once we get kind of wrap up that with this, it's just a segue into a question here. So. And I think this is kind of an interesting question to pose after this, but, you know, let's, let's kind of finish up with this part here.
- [39:46]
Chip
So one thing that the Prime Minister said is I firmly believe that it is only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world. To do so, I'm ready to reach out to many of the partners in the international community to achieve this objective together. And people are misunderstanding the whole mission in ira, in Iran because they're, you know, they have boots on the ground. Is it a failed mission, you know, working against the US with propaganda coming out of the US and no, it's never been that way. And they, they did the same thing with Venezuela, in and out, and it happened so fast they couldn't even spread the nonsense, fake news, propaganda. But again, realizing this is a strong statement, especially from somebody, an ally like Japan, saying that there's an understanding of what is really at the heart of all this, which is peace across the world, right? This is what it's really about. And when you have the number one state sponsor of terrorism, you're taking that out. And when you're liberating women that have been mistreated for 47 years, you would think that the left and all their, they don't know what a woman is. But if they did know what a woman was, they would be happy to know that these women are, you know, on their way to liberation. The same what's going on in other countries. But again, you saw how the partners have stood by the US and have committed that the money they said they were going to commit to the US Even though Iran was attacked, even though it's a Muslim country only because of the domination, you see that they're still on board with the US you see that they fought side by side with us. This is, if you said this 10 years ago, it would have been unimaginable. Jeff. It's simply just something that is so incredible to watch that we're almost at a, at a time where, where we're at almost a disbelief. But put that comment back up well before.
- [41:31]
Jeff
I just want to. Great. And it's interesting with Japan specific, there was a book that I read for school and this would, would have been probably early, early 90s. And, and the book was titled the Coming War with Japan and it was all about the steel industry and things that the Japanese were doing to undermine and you think about through the 80s, the real estate acquisitions throughout the United States by Japan and the economy. And, and this was the coming war is more. But that was kind of the mindset at the time also is that things were fine, were coming to a head with the US and, and Japan as they were kind of stepping into, into the space. And then the Japanese kind of had some issues with their internal economy for, for many years, and then we never really thought about it again. And then that same issue kind of sidestepped itself over to China and, and elsewhere. But it's, it's just kind of interesting dynamic to see, you know, coming back together with a true ally with, with Japan sharing the same, same vision. But to this comment here, Chip, and, and I just a preface based off of what she said in that statement. Trump is the only one that can bring world peace together. 2020 wasn't a test for global domination, of controlling the population. 2020 was a test to take down Trump. That's, that's what it was all about. It was, can the deep state get together on a global scale and take down a president of the United States? That's what the test was. And so, and we saw it almost very effectively as they, as they brought the entire world to its knees, crippling economies, shut everything down. And that's where you saw how deeply entrenched the deep state really was on a global scale. And what we saw go in 2016, it was all about, you know, the, the joke from the media. The media played a big part of it. Global leadership played a huge part of it because none of them, you know, saw Trump as a legitimate candidate to take over in 16. When he did, it was a shock to the system because Trump came in and he said, this is what I'm going to do. And it's exactly what he did. It wasn't, there was no, no wiggle room. And he was a player that nobody could manipulate because they, he was already influential on a global scale and people knew that he was influential. So it, the lion walked in a room in 2016, the entire world, the whole infrastructure came together to take him down. Now, is there an energy lockdown? This is my opinion. Love to get your opinion on this. Is there a lockdown? I don't think there's a lockdown coming. If we didn't have Trump in, in the office and we're in this situation right now, I would say, hey, we're probably up for some, you know, we're going down Schitt's creek, but we do. There's things being put together and orchestrating so that doesn't happen. But what I can say is that, you know, all of this, this whole global, you know, dominance, what the, what the left and the deep state has done to undermine the movement towards freedom is the move of these illegal immigrants into Western civilization, which is purposely was put into place in order to cripple Western civilization and to have a direct impact on a president like Trump to help bring and navigate the US in the right direction. And the whole world, the whole world is benefiting from, from what Trump's doing. What we're doing in Iran is all part of the puzzle to get rid of what this deep state and the leftist institutions around the world have started by bringing in the mass illegal immigration. All the pieces are falling into place little by little. So when you start looking at the orchestration of it, this relationship and the meeting with Japan was critical at this, at this juncture to show a powerful ally how we're working together and we're lock step together with what's going on in the Middle east with Israel lockstep taking down Iran, the whole Middle east region lockstep with Trump on the removal of Iran as a threat, the removal of, and the change of direction in Venezuela. And soon you're going to see Cuba and then there's only a few pieces left and China is suffering right now and that, and that's a big part of it also. So China has been funding and undermining a lot throughout through technology that they've put and placed all over the world, you know, that had been corrupted and that's their kind of their spy agency. And then you have Iran, which was a big financier for the 47 years of terror throughout the world, throughout the entire world. Everybody's happy that Iran's been taken down. Everybody, the whole Middle east region happy, the whole Middle east region happy with what Israel is doing over there also. And so it's, it's just, it's super, super impressive. But you know, that, that's kind of my take. I saw this comment. I'm like, man, you got to take, you know, Pat, you know, take a step backwards and see exactly what's happening. But Chip, what, what are your thoughts on that? I mean, I, I just don't see an energy lockdown. I think, well, we're going to see an energy boom coming.
- [46:51]
Chip
It depends on the, it depends on the ideology. If you are A leftist, then you, you're in your global domination. You believe in centralization, which is why, why the Democrats are all against any kind of decentralization. They love to control everything. They want to control every aspect of your life. And if you look in Florida, like in Florida, Jeff, none of my friends that live in New York, where I'm from, none of them could believe that when I would show them pictures two weeks later, like, you know, on Atlantic Avenue, just like everyone's out partying, having a great time, nobody's wearing masks and they're like, where is this? When did you take this picture? I go, like five minutes ago. They're like, that's Florida now. I'm like, right now? They're like, oh, we're not allowed to leave our houses. I'm like, well then good luck. I mean, you live in New York. So when I think who's running the show? Someone like a Trump? Somebody like when you look at maybe some other countries, you know, that are more conservative leaning and more freedom leaning, you're going to have that, you know, you're going to have that whether you're in Hungary or you're in Poland or you're in South America. If you're Bukele and you're El Salvador, this, you're not going to have this oppression. But you know, I, I mean, I believe everything you said, Jeff. The whole idea was to get Trump out of office. And you could tell the people that this is what happened. You can tell them that the election was stolen. They were told, I have a lot of stuff on election fraud today. That with the numbers, it's, the numbers are there and nobody wanted to believe it, but you can't tell people. You've got to show them. Everybody warned about Mondami, you know, and the Muslim takeover in New York City, but they were like, oh, you are just one of those Islamic freaks, you're anti Islam, blah, blah, blah. And you're about, well, now they're getting a royal taste of it with the call to Per Be and blasted at 5:30 in the morning. I hope it gets so loud that it's louder than a Metallica concert. I hope it gets so loud because you voted for it. I hope it gets shoved right up your ass. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you enjoy all the oppressions coming your way. I hope you enjoy the high taxes, the rent increases, the, the, the taxing the rich. I hope you enjoy it all. But that's all by design. They want all the, the, the, the people who were Born there to move out. So when it comes to 2020, this whole lockdown, I think what we did, what we, what we learned, Jeff, was how easy it was and how stupid people are. Six feet away. You go into a restaurant, you had a mask on, but when you were sitting down and eating, you took the mask off. Because the virus knows not to mess with you. It only messes with people that aren't standing six feet away and aren't eating. So the hypocrisy was so rich. You were like Darwin award winning. And you thought about yourself like, well, you know that the mask doesn't stop the virus, right? Then some mask studies came out. So the whole thing was a joke and nobody really needed the vaccine and it wasn't a vaccine. If you go to CDC and they change the definition of a vaccine of. Because. Is anybody out there got their polio boosters recently? No, because the polio boost. Polio was a real vaccine. You got to get a booster. That should be your first sign of the boot. The vaccine doesn't work. But nobody exercised any critical thinking during that whole period. So, yeah, there was a lot of gullibility. You know, government's pushing this nonsense across everything. And then I laugh, I laugh at something like this. This makes me laugh because this is probably one of the dumbest statements you could, you could actually put forth. After John F. Kennedy, every president's been a banker's president. Trump is nothing but a pacifier president. He's doing what the banking cartel, cartel told Trump at every angle. The funny thing about Trump is Trump doesn't need anybody and he gives zero Fs about anybody and he does whatever he wants. And people are like, oh, the reason he's in this war is because Israel's holding him hostage. Well, he came out and blasted Netanyahu for attacking an energy, you know, bombing one of the high producing sort of oil and, and gas and saying, don't do that again. And. And he also restrained them too, and said, no, it's not time to go in yet. So. But people aren't paying attention because they're, you know, because he's a Zionist and blah, blah, blah. And people are just, I mean, you know, the Jews get blamed for everything right behind that as a Christians, but the Muslims, who cares if they beat their women? Who cares if they have six wives? Who cares if they marry when they're six and they wait till they're nine years old? Who cares if they worship a pedophile who had multiple wives, one as young as nine years Old. I mean, who cares about that? Who cares? If you don't believe what they believe, they chop your head off. So there's, there's all that going on. On top of it. Let's segue a little bit here. Elizabeth Warren. This is great. It's a great statement. When Pete Hegseth was going to the confirmation hearing, Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren wrote an entire letter about how does Volt Katu made him a right wing extremist unfit for service. She just endorsed the guy with the Nazi tattoo. Here she is with the Nazi for US Senate. Graham Platner for US Senate who has a Nazi tattoo. These people are just pathetic, Jeff, on so many different levels. You know, the great Chuck Norris just passed away. You know, Chuck was a great guy. There's all the Chuck Norris jokes and everything, but Chuck Norris. This is Chuck Norris talking about when he used to be a Democrat.
- [52:17]
Commentator
Are you a conservative, sir?
- [52:18]
Political Analyst
Well, I used to be a Democrat,
- [52:21]
Chip
but unfortunately the Democrats went too far to the left.
- [52:25]
Political Commentator
Left.
- [52:25]
Chip
And the Republicans moved into their position that The Democrats were 40 years ago. And so what the Democrats believed 40 years ago, the Republicans believe today. And so I realized that I had to go to a Republican because the Democrats just got too far up off the trail. They just got completely off the trail and lost all reality of what America stood for. And so I realized that Republicans at this point in time are more focused on what is best for America than
- [53:00]
Jeff
what the Democrats are.
- [53:03]
Chip
The only thing about that, that's. It sounds about right, doesn't it? Of course, you know, there's a lot
- [53:10]
Jeff
of Chuck I can't believe died yesterday.
- [53:12]
Chip
Yeah, 86 years old, had an episode, ended up, you know, passing away. But the guy was fit. I mean, his birthday, I remember watching about a month ago, whatever it was recently, it was out there fighting. You know, he's boxing and he's training all the time. The guy was super fit at 86. But, you know, when it's your time, it's your time. Somebody put this meme out. I gotta catch the music at a certain point. But saying that what, what happens when, when Chuck gets to heaven. So there's all the, there's some Islamists partying up there in the clouds. And of course there's. Yeah, there's, there's Chuck with the angel wings in the boxing stance and boom, sent down to the depths of hell. There you go. There's a lot of those floating around and you got him and embracing Bruce Lee up in heaven and, you know, just lots of cool you know, fun memes and stuff, you know, do you remember, you know, speaking of 2020, Jeff, do you remember and, and the whole lockdown, everything. Do you remember? So Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York, made a statement about. We don't care if you get on the Florida. Get out of the. You know. Well, she's changing her tune then. And now listen to this.
- [54:25]
Jeff
Of course.
- [54:25]
New York Politician
And we're here to say that the era.
- [54:28]
Chip
This is from 2022 of Trump and
- [54:32]
New York Politician
Zeldin and Molinaro, just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong. Okay? Get out of town. Town. Get out of town. Because you don't re. You don't represent our values.
- [54:44]
Jeff
You are not when they left New Yorkers.
- [54:48]
New York Politician
But maybe the.
- [54:49]
Chip
So now this is coco. When reality sits in and tax base is being eroded and they got to raise taxes again to watch more high earners leave. And you can see that time hasn't been kind either. You got four years have passed and she looks like death warmed over over here. You know, like, look at her demeanor.
- [55:06]
Political Commentator
Rah, rah.
- [55:07]
Chip
Yeah, you're like Trump, go to Florida. Get out of here. We don't want. You don't represent our values. I always want to ask a Democrat, what exactly are your values? Killing your constituents and supporting illegals and giving them everything they could possibly want. Free health care, free money, free room and lodging, clothing. Now, what exactly do you stand for? And I, I brought this up to somebody in the XRP community who I really respect. And, and I had to say, like, tell me what, tell me what you, you're 24 anti, 7 anti Trump. I get it. Where are your ideas?
- [55:42]
Jeff
Right?
- [55:42]
Chip
What are you going to do differently? Because what you support right now isn't good, which is why you're losing your base. And it's eroding guys like Chuck Norris who left a long time ago
- [55:54]
Jeff
across the board, you know, it's interesting. So there's. They, they never learn either. So go back a number of years. The mayor of Detroit, Coleman Young, told the population of Detroit at the time, there's probably in the 60s ish. And he said, look, if you don't. Or was it 60s, 70s, I don't know.
- [56:11]
Chip
Whenever 70s. Coleman Young was 26 years. He was mayor for something.
- [56:15]
Jeff
It's a long time. And he's. And he basically told people, he said, listen, if you don't like it, you can get the F out. And you know what people did? They left and they moved out to West Bloomfield and they took their, their entire tax Base with them. When was it? What year?
- [56:29]
Chip
It was from 1974. 20 years from 74 to the end of 93.
- [56:34]
Jeff
Right. So. And. And it was impressive when he said that.
- [56:39]
Chip
Right?
- [56:40]
Jeff
He's like, if you don't, like, get the F out. You know, and so people left. They're like, screw you. Then they took their money, they took their businesses, they took everything, and they left Detroit. Detroit went from kind of a. Obviously there was the riots. Kind of was a beginning of the end over there, but it went from a prosperous tax base to nothing overnight. And people fled. They moved out to the suburbs, and they never looked back. And. And it's interesting. I mean, now it took years, you know, years to kind of bring the downtown Detroit area back to some semblance of. Of normalcy. And. And you're starting. You're seeing that now kind of a revitalization. It took big business leaders to try to revitalize the city, but it's that mindset, and they never learn. It's the same thing. It's all about us. And if you don't like it, then screw you. And it's not like, screw you. You want to implement your socialist ideas. You don't like our freedom, but we're going to make it great anyways. It's kind of like, if you don't like me taking all your money, then screw you.
- [57:40]
Interviewer
Leave.
- [57:41]
Jeff
We don't need you. And then they're like, oh, I guess we needed your money.
- [57:44]
Chip
Well, here she is. Here she is this week, Jeff, talking. Talking again. About. So it's quite the about face in four years.
- [57:53]
New York Politician
But maybe the first step should be go down to Palm beach and see who you can bring back home, because our tax base has been eroded. So I feel soft. We don't have a problem. It is like I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations.
- [58:10]
Chip
She almost said, who have freedom. She almost. I thought she was going to say it. Who have freedom. We can't have freedom here.
- [58:15]
New York Politician
On their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything. There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan or work in New York State, and they were captives to our state. They were going to stay. We saw that. That's not the case. I mean, you know, Wall street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. I know that for sure.
- [58:37]
Chip
Oh, that's exactly why they're going there.
- [58:39]
New York Politician
But they're going There because of the tax rate. We have to be smart about this.
- [58:43]
Jeff
They're so stupid. They just, they don't get it. They'll never get it. They'll never understand it. But as soon as they have no money left. And it's interesting that it's now they have the corrupted mayor of New York City, they have the corrupted governor of New York State. They could give a about the people they push. They want to raise taxes, make it socialist, make it impossible to live there. California is the net loser. New York isn't. Those businesses aren't coming back to New York, I'm sorry to say. New York is done. You know, people aren't going to move their entire business out of state only to say, oh, look, they're, they're, they're getting nice again, let's move back. No, they're coming to Palm beach, they're coming to Miami. This is the, the financial epicenter of the world now is coming to South Florida. You're seeing businesses, you're seeing high tech move into Miami. Everybody wants to be in Florida. It's Florida is steadily turned more and more red, not more and more blue. The Democrats are losing. Even in Broward county. They're the, you're seeing growth of the voter base turning red, not blue. And so, and that's Broward County. So it's going to take more people, more money. Everybody's coming down. It's getting a little bit too crowded here, so people need to move a little bit further north. You know, you can do suburbs of Tampa, Tampa's, you know, booming. Probably need more Republican leadership there. Orlando, you know, the northern part. Jacksonville, Gainesville, like that whole area. Jacksonville could be impressive too, you know, so people need to be in the northern states and benefit from Atlanta, Georgia climate. Go to Jacksonville, you know, but it just, there's so much going on right now and New York is a net loser. But New York state as a whole isn't a Democrat state. You know, New York as a whole is, is kind of red also. But then you have the big city, New York City, and New York City has fleeced New York State for way too long. Stolen the tax base. It's, you know, most of the, you know, taxes from New York state have to go to New York City. And it just now, now we're seeing, now we're seeing the ramification of that.

Look at this, Jeff. So Oral says here in Virginia the election was rigged. Now the new governor is trying to outdo California on sanctuary city. And you know, it's funny it's like this Abigail Spamberger who really is one of the. She's really not. She's not. She's like another aoc. She's really dumber than rocks. And the funny thing about it was the. For the Democrats and all their racism, you had somebody, a hardcore conservative, win some Earl se who is a black woman who was running, who was amazing and who had the right messaging. It makes zero sense. I mean, you know, there's a lot of D.C. people that live in Virginia, you know, a lot of Democrats there. But I still don't understand how this lady gets. And then she puts 50 new taxes in. Meanwhile, you had the, the former lieutenant governor win some Earl Sears and she was like just. I mean her messaging was so right on a very gifted politician. And they're the people that are yelling racism. They had nothing to say that oh you. They chose a white woman over a black woman. A black woman with messaging who resonated with the people and some dumbass witch. I said that instead of the B word. I sit in the car when I was trying my. My little girls, they'll be like, how do you know that she's a witch? I'm like, she just looks like a witch. And I could. Because I could never see the B word like that. Witch. I can't believe she just cut me off. Why do you call her a witch? How do you know she's a witch, Bob? I'm like, well, she's just. She had a couple boils on her face. I don't know. So. And if you look at right here, Jim D. Says don't get me started on Virginia. I'm a VMI grad and the Virginia commies are trying to force the military institute and to be in running by an all black college to punish for the Civil War history. And this like these are the same people yelling racism but yet they had nothing to say when they voted for a white woman over a black woman. So they're so full of. I mean, and then they called this woman, you know, Uncle Tom and all this other stuff, all this racist. These are the reason the most racist people on the planet are Democrats. They're so worried about race when it works for them. But I'm telling you what man, they are just ridiculous.
- [62:56]
Jeff
They're raised.
- [62:58]
Chip
Checklabord says easy to bluff when you don't have any chips on the table. Yeah, that's hokule. She has zero chips on the table. And the stuff you have going on in New York City. I really am in a Weird way, I'm kind of happy about this because you can't tell the people. The only thing you can do, Jeff, is show the people, because they just never learn. You got to show them extreme pain, not just uncomfortableness. But here's my wife.
- [63:24]
Jeff
They have to live the extreme pain. They have to experience extreme pain.
- [63:28]
Chip
Not only is Mandami's wife a rabid, anti Semite Islamic fanatic, but she's also homophobic and uses the N word. Oh, and she volunteered to be a suicide bomber. If it does good for the cause, I'll be happy to accept death. New York City Mayor, any comments? So this is her 2. Here's her stuff right here. She's why all these. She's saying the f. You know, I should say that F. You know, that is that fgts. You guys can fill it in. Here she is, Ramadi, right here. I think she, by the way, she did in fact shut her account down because people were going back through her tweets. She was loving a lot of the stuff. She was liking a lot of the stuff from October 7th. And then she's saying, here, here she is. I think it was the gay ass people from Instagram that finally motivated me to get off the Internet. That was in 2013. The gay ass people. And then this person says, talking gangster with me is genius. And she says, hell yeah. And I g g a super duper genius. Excuse you. So she loves to use the N word. She likes to talk about the F word when describing gay people. And this is Mandami's wife. But I'm sure he marries somebody because we always get married to people who think exactly opposite of us, right. Who are rabid anti Semites. We're like, we're cool with that, right? You don't think this is what Mandami thinks? You shouldn't go after my wife because she's not this and that.
- [65:02]
Jeff
Well, they support the Islamo Fascist cause.
- [65:07]
Chip
Yeah, of course. And then here's. Here's Mandami here. Two more top rating bond firms issue a dire warning for New York City over Mandami's budget. So they're going to get the rating dropped, which is going to affect their.
- [65:21]
Political Analyst
Their.
- [65:21]
Chip
Their standard to either borrow or do anything with money related. But this is what you get when you vote for a nut job. Goes out there smiling. Ted. Hey, everybody, look, I'm with gay people. Look, I'm with Jews. Look, I'm with everybody. And meanwhile, how well. How well did that work out? And here is Elon Musk. To save the day. Now, Jeff, if you've flown anytime recently, you've seen these TSA lines wrapped around airports going outside four or five, four to six hour waits in Houston, eight hour waits, saying because the Democrats are holding up. Elon Musk said, I'd like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that's negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country. Patriot man, he's like Democrats. You want to, you want to hold this over? Great, I'll pay them.
- [66:09]
Jeff
Yeah.
- [66:09]
Chip
Now what are you going to do?
- [66:11]
Jeff
It's amazing. It's amazing what Elon Musk is there, has done for, for the cause of freedom. You know, as, as he starts looking, you know, across the pond as well to what he can do over in England. But this, what he's done for this country and the world, you know, because this really impacts the whole world is really impressive. And to do that, to step up like that and say, hey, I'll cover the cost. And you know, he's going to do it, you know, and it's, it's great. I mean, for him, it, he could, you know, it's going to be a net tax write off. So, you know, but it's, but you don't see anybody else stepping up like that. Really impressive. I love it.
- [66:48]
Chip
At the polls. You had a clear partisan tds, poll watchers, obvious fraud try to vote, claim there wasn't a citizen, made me fill out a provincial ballot out, ended up not being approved. This is ridiculous, man.
- [66:59]
Jeff
They try to stop. I mean there's so much that's gone on. Everything that they say is just reflecting on their own beliefs. You know, that's, that's part of the Democrat ploy.
- [67:08]
Chip
But democracy, Jeff, they're yelling democracy. They're always yelling democracy. Here we go here. CBS went full Nick Shirley and Gavin Newsom's California. And I've got the video right here. And if it wasn't for Nick Shirley, Jeff, you would never see a video like this. Obviously there's somebody new at the helm over there. But look at this. This is crazy to see that. This is cvs. It's total Nick Shirley style.
- [67:34]
Jeff
So this building right behind me here, 89 hospices. And it's the most extreme case of hospices that are all clustered together in all of LA County.
- [67:43]
Chip
And it's known, I mean, by the way, Nick surely already did this report, the same report. But it's good to see that CBS is like, they realize it's resonating with people. And I also think there's probably going to be a concerted effort to take out Gavin Newsom because they know he's not electable, but they're gonna like. This is what. When the left doesn't like somebody, they'll start floating these kind of news stories they don't want them to run because they know that it's a definite loss. And what Newsom's done to California and the fact he probably will have a turnover to a Republican, his stock is over like so he was, did such a bad job. He had the first Republican, you know, in almost 20 years elected ground zero.
- [68:17]
Jeff
We're going to try to go in and see what we can find. Home health agency.
- [68:22]
Chip
Yeah.
- [68:23]
Jeff
The fact that they're doing this now,
- [68:24]
Chip
they can see what they can find is exactly, yeah.
- [68:29]
Jeff
Hospice agencies coming up. There's a directory with a long list of hospice agencies.
- [68:34]
Chip
And the building's owner talked. I mean, blah, blah, blah, the building's owners did this and blah, blah, blah. It's the same garbage.
- [68:41]
Jeff
Think about Nick Shirley. Nick Shirley's what, 23.
- [68:44]
Chip
23 years old? 23 years old. And he's one of the best independent journalists now. I always love Stephen A, but Stephen A. Was so shocked about this. He had a rep on from California and he was shocked to learn this about California. This is funny because this stuff, this is what you and I already knew, Jeff, but he was shocked. But it just goes to show you, if he's shocked, how many people don't know about this?
- [69:06]
Political Analyst
We don't have voter ID in places like California is extremely unusual. In democracies across the globe, there's maybe like two, two or three democracies in the world that don't have it. This is just kind of like a standard administrative requirement in a well functioning democracy. So I think we just should just have it. We should get this over, should move on with our lives. You know, it should be a big controversial issue.
- [69:31]
Interviewer
Excuse me for being so ignorant, Asking last question. Definitely my last question. What do you mean you don't have voter ID in California? Could you please elaborate specifically on that for my audience that may not know?
- [69:41]
Political Analyst
Yeah, California does not have voter id. You don't need to present it to register. You don't need to present it to vote. As a matter of fact, the past, the state passed a law forbidding voter id. So if so cities, counties, if they forbidding, they're not allowed to under state law.
- [69:58]
Jeff
What?
- [69:59]
Interviewer
When did that happen?
- [70:01]
Political Analyst
A couple years ago, because I think it was Orange county they wanted to have their own requirements. So the state passed a law saying, no, you're not allowed to. Voter ID is not only not required, it is actively forbidden.
- [70:11]
Jeff
They went after them.
- [70:12]
Interviewer
That's right there. That's why the same act been proposed right there. The state of California. That's what the Republicans gonna lean on as an excuse to definitely push forth the same act. Right there. Right there. I can't believe it. I didn't even know that, sir. I'm embarrassed to admit there's a lot
- [70:27]
Political Analyst
of crazy things going on in California, but I think you are seeing a return to sanity in some ways. And I see it Democrats, Republicans in independents and in California who are saying, you know, we need to do some things differently in this state.
- [70:41]
Interviewer
By the way, last thing, that, that, that, that no voter eligibility required. That's Gavin Newsom last two years. That was Gavin Newsom.
- [70:48]
Chip
Correct.
- [70:49]
Political Analyst
Well, so the, the, there's the, the required, the law saying that, that a locality cannot have its own voter ID requirement. That was Newsom.
- [70:56]
Interviewer
There you go. That was Newsom. That's all I needed to know. Thank you, sir. Representative KEVIN Representative,
- [71:04]
Chip
I remember that when Orange county said, no, no, it's fine if the state doesn't. But here in Orange county, and then they passed that law saying, no, sorry, there's no voter ID anywhere in the state. You can't have it. I was like, I mean, just pay attention to what's going on. I mean, how do you not, how do you not know?
- [71:20]
Jeff
But you don't know. You know, they, they slip these things in. Typically during a down election cycle, they put stuff on the ballot, people vote stuff in, stuff happens. People are unaware. You know, it sounds, they phrase it out in confusing double talk language. You know, so people, most people, if you go through and you go and vote and you read through the ballot and they have any type of proposal, it's always double speak. It's never clear language. It's not even legalese language. They just write it in such a way that it makes it confusing. And you grow, you read through it. You're like, oh, I don't know if I'm in favor of this or not in favor. Which way is this? Am I voting yes or no? You know, I don't understand what the, what their proposals. And then people vote on it and it's, and it's so destructive that you go into, into the ballot box and, and you go to vote and not understand any of the policy that you're voting on. Right? And they do it 100% on purpose. Right? That's what XRP Plumbing say, 100% on purpose in order to get a certain outcome. And, and obviously the power that's in charge, the ones that are writing the ballot are putting language in there specifically. So you have no idea what, what you're doing. It's interesting, Jim was saying there must be something in the water in New York City and the kosher eateries. I guarantee you any of the Jews in New York that go and eat at kosher restaurants and shop at kosher stores did not vote for mom, dummy. I can guarantee you that, you know, the majority, anyone that's. That's in that. That's going to be more orthodox. They're going to be conservative. They're going to vote conservative. They're typically voting Republican. They're not voting. The, the Jews in New York City that vote Democrat are assimilated, typically atheists, and they're, you know, more kind of New York socialist propaganda and then any. So you can take out the kosher eateries and kosher restaurants, kosher grocery stores out of that equation, and that's what you get, you know, and so. And that's exactly the explanation. And whether you go into the Jewish community or if you go into a black community, go into, you know, Christian communities, you're going to see the same exact symptom where you have this leftist, you know, ideology for, you know, whatever purpose, and then you'll say, okay, these guys are going to be more conservative. It just, it doesn't make any sense. Yeah, why, why do, you know, Catholics vote Democrat? I don't, I don't understand it. It doesn't even fit the narrative. But yet they're still voting Democrat. You know, it doesn't make any sense to me. You know, and it's the same, you know, the same issue across. And then a big part of it also, and that's what Arlen Lake like in Virginia, you know, most machines were electing Democrats, right? Then we see. So there's that component of it. Then you see the corrupted part of the election cycle. Just like what happened here in south Florida in 20, 2018 when DeSantis got elected in. We. We almost lost that election. You guys have no idea how, how close it was. It all came down to the supervisor of election office in Broward county because of the fact that they were corrupting the election outcome and going in there. What's her name? She ran that office as. It was so confusing, so disorganized, totally on purpose. And, and that disorganization is what allowed them to cheat and corrupt the system. And it took hundreds of people to stand out in front of the supervisor of election and a push to get attorneys and, and others inside the supervisor of election to go through and do the recount. And, and that's where, you know, DeSantis was galvanized as, as governor of Florida is because they were trying to corrupt and cheat the system. It 100 happened. It will continue all over the country. Virginia is a direct example. Michigan, they have to clean up what's going on. Right. We could have had a. Any. You know, and it's interesting too. Was he a crackhead or did they just destroy him because he knew what was happening from the cheating side of it, knew he didn't have a chance. Maybe he found out and they're like, you know what? We're going to destroy him, you know, because he was in on the cheating. So he knew there's no way to win. Something happened there. It was very bizarre. How does he go from normal to abnormal like overnight? Or did they just pick someone abnormal? You know, from the beginning, it was very strange. That whole outcome was so bizarre of what happened with him. It just seemed like they just told it was total setup and then they destroyed him. And that. And that was it. Washed their hands of it. Because now anything he says after that, no one's gonna believe them. So on. You know, it's crazy.
- [76:03]
Chip
Hell no. John Morgan from Morgan Morgan, the next Florida governor. First of all, he's a big Democrat supporter. He's. He's trying to. There should be a middle party. BS garbage. No. Hell no. It's Byron Donalds all the way. Byron Donalds will be the next Florida governor, not this loser. That much we can say for sure. Transition to voter fraud because we're told, Jeff, there's no voter fraud. But I got some stats here. Listen to what Stephen Miller has to say about voter fraud.
- [76:32]
Stephen Miller
Something, Sean, that your audience may not know. At the beginning of this administration, we asked every state red and blue to share with us their voter rolls so that we could scrub it against the DHS file of illegal aliens to remove illegal aliens from their voting rolls. Every blue state refused. California refused. Minnesota refused. New York refused. In fact, they sued us to stop us from removing illegal aliens from the voter rolls. Removing non citizens from the voter rolls. That's not just the only thing. They don't want to get dead people off the rolls. They don't want to get felons off the rolls. They don't want to get out of state voters off the rolls. They don't want to get double and triple voters out of the count because they want the fraud.
- [77:22]
Chip
Of course they want the fraud. This is the. This is. Not. Everyone's acting like this is something new. And I got into a big dispute the other day with somebody talking about voter fraud, and I started just naming statistics that they'd never heard of before. I said, by the way, in Fulton County, Georgia, 300,000 votes. They came out and said they shouldn't have counted. Well, Biden only won by 11,000. Right.
- [77:44]
Jeff
So.
- [77:44]
Chip
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. 300,000. They got to bring Roethlisberger and Kemp. They got to put those guys up, put them before Congress, and they've got to make it. So let's look at some voter fraud statistics here. Jeff, look at this. So Alaska reported 611,000 registered voters in 24. Alaska had 540,000 citizens of voting age in 2024. Senator Murkowski opposes the Save America Act. Well, what do you know? Believe it or not, Lisa McCurskey is married. Her husband of nearly four decades is Vern Martel, and he's a registered Democrat.
- [78:25]
Jeff
She's a Democrat.
- [78:26]
Chip
She's a Democrat, too. She just ran the Republican Party, but she's a Democrat. By the way, John Fetterman is more of a Republican than this witch.
- [78:33]
Jeff
Of course.
- [78:34]
Chip
My God, look at the boils on that face. Holy cow. Continue on. Michigan reported 8.2 million registered voters in 24. Michigan's voter aid citizen population was 7.6 million in 2024. Senator Elisa Slotkin, Democrat, opposes the Save America act. According to US censor bureau, CVAP estimates Illinois had 9 million voting age citizens in 2020. Illinois reported 9.7 million registered voters in 2020. Senator Dick Durbin opposes the Save America act. Maryland reported 4.5 million registered voters in 2024. Maryland citizen voting age population was 4.4 million in 2024. Maryland has more registered voters than voting aid citizens eligible to vote. Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat, opposes the Save America Act. Here's another proven scam in black and white. In 2024, the District of Columbia had 674,000 registered voters, but only 502,000 citizens of voting age. This is why Democrats are against the Save America Act. It's happening in about 35 states. And this one. Finally, Jeff, the cop pulls over a guy and says, hey, can I see your id? And the cop and the passenger in the car says, driver says, says, no, sir, I'm voting Today.
- [79:59]
Jeff
So perfect.
- [80:01]
Chip
Spot on right there. You gotta love it. It's spot. It's spot on. Well, don't worry, Jeff. There's no voter fraud. We were told there's no voter fraud, Jeff.
- [80:13]
Jeff
No, everything is. Everything is perfect.
- [80:15]
Chip
How about John Fetterman? Look at John Fetterman's not doing so well with Democrats, Jeff, we just saw that. We played the Trump clip where CNN says 100% support for MAGA, which they've never seen before.
- [80:26]
Political Commentator
Larger story, Mr. Berman. And I would just say that John Fetterman is doing as well with Pennsylvania Democrats as the New York Giants are as liked in the state of Pennsylvania or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I mean, just look at this among Pennsylvania Democrats and that approval of Fetterman Back in 2023, he was a Democrat, liberal darling. He was at plus 68 points. Look at how low he has. Has fallen down to negative 40 points. He's down there with the Titanic among Democrats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And you know, put a comparison point on. You know, we always talk about how Chuck Schumer is not well liked by the Democratic base nationwide. Chuck Schumer has a net popularity rating of about -2 points. He is 38 points more popular than John Fetterman is. Pennsylvania Democrats. And I was also looking at Kirsten Sinema, who of course ended up leading, leaving the Democratic Party in Arizona. She was considerably more popular just before she shifted over than John Fetterman is at minus 40 points.
- [81:19]
Political Analyst
This is 108 point swing.
- [81:21]
Political Commentator
This is an 108 point swing. Very good mathematics here.
- [81:26]
Political Analyst
This is.
- [81:27]
Jeff
I was honestly thinking, is that even possible?
- [81:29]
Political Analyst
All right, how does this compare to other. He faces a primary if he wants to run again.
- [81:33]
Jeff
You know, he faces an election in two years.
- [81:35]
Political Analyst
He runs in a Democratic primary.
- [81:36]
Political Commentator
How have senators who lost their primaries,
- [81:40]
Political Analyst
how does their whole situation compare to this?
- [81:42]
Political Commentator
I would just know. John was like off on the screen going, what?
- [81:44]
Jeff
What?
- [81:44]
Political Commentator
Wait a minute, wait a minute. 108 points. Where you never see anything like that. But my goodness gracious, I mean, just take a Look here, okay, 2000 senators own party net ratings about when they lost a primary. Bob Smith plus 15. Arlen Specter plus 13. Of course he switched parties, the Democrats, it didn't work for him. From a Republican, plus six. Joe Lieberman, Dick Luger was at zero points. Lisa Murkowski, he was at minus 15 points. All of these were considerably more popular than John Fetterman is right now at minus 40 points. He is below the lowest. The ones who actually got beat in a Primary. There is no historical analog to this. That is how unpopular John Fetterman is with Pennsylvania Democrats.
- [82:22]
Chip
That's amazing. I think he would probably pull out at least a plus 5 or plus 10 for Republicans if they had a vote of someone, a Democrat. They, they, they at least favored. I would think, Jeff. There would probably be somebody, somebody like a, you know, a Fetterman. This girl. Jeff, watch this. This is caught up.
- [82:43]
Jeff
I gotta run, Chip. I gotta run.
- [82:45]
Chip
All right, let's watch 9.
- [82:47]
Jeff
45. I'm going to. Everything's set up in the ghost.
- [82:50]
Chip
Where are you heading?
- [82:51]
Jeff
Run. I gotta leave. Someone's coming.
- [82:56]
Chip
I'll play everybody out here.
- [82:58]
Jeff
You're good to go?
- [82:58]
Chip
Yep, good to go. Okay, cool.
- [83:01]
Jeff
Thanks.
- [83:01]
Chip
Good to go. See you later. See you tomorrow. So let's take a look at this clip right here. This is a girl. Look to check in her logging into her account for her student loan.
- [83:14]
Jeff
I finally hit 120 payments for my public service loan forgiveness. And I just want to show you something.
- [83:22]
Chip
So check out my. My principal balance. That's what I took out.
- [83:27]
Jeff
49,000. This is what I owe 50,000.
- [83:32]
Chip
Now that bothers me because I've paid 25,000. It's all such a scam. So funny. Think about that. She. She. She borrowed 49,000 and now she owes 50,000. How is that even possible?
- [83:54]
Jeff
How?
- [83:55]
Chip
I say how? I don't know. This is exactly where we are these days. I mean, with this kind of nonsense. Here's something. Let's jump over to the uk. Listen here.
- [84:07]
Commentator
Now or no prospective government of the UK has the guts to stop it. If they, if they want to take strong action to prevent the Islamification of the uk, then it's going to mean big trouble for them. They don't want trouble. They look four years ahead. They will kick the can down the road to somebody else. I think the end result of that is very likely to be civil war in Britain, where the indigenous physical civil war. Civil. I'm not talking about American civil war.
- [84:33]
Jeff
No, no, no.
- [84:34]
Commentator
I'm talking about something more like Northern Ireland, but on a much more intensive scale where you have the indigenous British and the immigrant. Immigrant, some of the immigrant population and the British government all on three different sides fighting against each other. And if. I'd be very surprised if that doesn't happen because there's no prospect of the government, any government today stopping this from occurring.
- [85:00]
Chip
It's amazing. Joe, Buddy says he paid off all his debt. That's good to hear. Great. If you can do it. Here we Go with. So some more British news here. Let's talk to Siddiq Khan, who is the mayor. Let's hear from him, the mayor of London. He says British values mean defending everyone's right to practice their faith freely in London. I'm proud Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims and others can celebrate in Trafalgar Square. Singling out Muslims isn't British values, it's prejudice. And John Cleese, who you may know from the Monty Python days, comedian, actor, said this. Dear Siddiq Khan, I think some of the prejudice to do with singling out Muslims is to do with their stated intention to kill infidels. Especially the bit about beheading them. You see, the other religions don't promise that. And that could not be more spot on of a statement. I mean, it's. It is a sad time. And if we look at this, more weird stuff coming out of here from. From Great Britain. Joshua Phillips says, the more I read this, the more I realize how utterly illiterate it is. Utterly illiterate, how exactly? And let me show you this. First, the Daily Mail put this story out. Shakespeare's birthplace, which I have visited to be decolonized over fears his success benefits ideology of white European supremacy. Let me read that again. Shakespeare's birthplace to be decolonized. I don't know what that means. They're deleting it or getting rid of it over fears of success benefits of the ideology of white Europeans. John Phillips is saying. Joshua Phillips is saying, how exactly do you decolonize someone's birthplace? He lived there. No one came and conquered his house. It's just a man of a house that exists. These people are exhausting. And I concur with that. Like, what are they even talking about? It's such a ridiculous thing. This was. I'm not gonna play the. I'll play the video, but not the sound. But this was basically Birmingham, what they're talking about. And you can see this massive gathering. You see what they're doing in Trafalgar Square. The funny thing is, is that why is it that when. When Muslims go to another country, they got to do this in public places? They don't do it in public places. And the countries that they live, it's all about domination. It's about control. It's about grandstanding. That's all it's about. That's pretty much the entire sort of bit that any of that matters has nothing to do with almost anything else, which is. Which is quite sad, I have to say. We're gonna segue to Iran. Iran. Mark. Let's see. This is. Hang on a second. It's the right name here. This is Victor Davis Hansen, and he's followed wars for 50 years, and here's what he has to say about the Iran war.

Victor Davis Hanson
Evidence to see how things are really going. Europeans would never agree to go anywhere near Iran unless they thought the tide was turning and they think that we're going to win, otherwise they would keep still. And the reason that the Pepto nations of the Gulf survive is they have their finger in the wind and they're very attuned to the climate. And when you have Al Jazeera praising the United States bomb bombing campaign and saying that it's been underestimated and it's brilliant and effective, you get the feeling that they think not only should the United States finish the job, but it can and will finish the job. And then when you start to see tactical aircraft like Warthogs and Apaches, that means that they're offering almost ground and sea support to hit targets. There's nothing, there's no defense at all when you have that type of aircraft flying at will in Iranian airspace. So you put it all together, and I think it's pretty clear that this rope, a dope strategy that they have, that we're going to tire before they are, is dependent on just public opinion. The midterms in the United States, and if Trump sees it through, and I think he will, I think they're going to fall pretty soon.

See that? So there you go. And he's making a really good point here. Everyone, like boots on the ground, forever war nonsense. Trump's saying it's wrapping up. He put a statement out about that. It was never the intention, but of course, you know, the left wants everything to fail on the right. Oral says, I'll go into plan. The Georgia guide stones were demolished, but the elite still want the numbers down one way or another. Just have us fight each other. Zielinski's killed most of his men in Ukraine, and he's the one that doesn't want peace. Putin said fourth, oh, hey, I'm ready to settle. I'm ready to, you know, put this behind us. Zelensky doesn't want it. He thinks he's going to get territories back. They're not. Matter of fact, these people in these territories he wants back speak Russian. They don't want anything to do with, with the Ukraine. So they've even voted like over 80%. So it's just, to me, it's just more, more and more Garbage in that loan as well. Chad says interest on student loans is compounding during the schematic when they weren't paying. That's right. So you did get a. That was the thing. It's like, oh, you don't have to pay, but your interest was compounding. Which is why. But I mean pay $25,000 and you still owe more than you borrowed for what some goofy. I mean this is why traditional education is going to get hurt quite a bit if you see what's happening. You know, the reports that I'm reading on AI, all these companies are using it as an excuse to basically get rid of, you know, I would say people. It's not really like one of the things that I watched was Jensen Huang, who's the CEO of Nvidia came out and said that you, that these companies aren't thinking about it the right way. You're empowering your people to do better, which means higher earnings and what happens. Funny, I was talking to a buddy last night about who, who's got a couple years on me. He's like this always repeats non stop. Where you have CEOs which are consistently. Yeah, someone's calling me here. Hang on, there we go. Where you have these CEOs who are consistently looking to cut the bottom line, make the quarter. We gotta show, we gotta show improvement. So the easiest way to do that is get packages out, cut people. You saw that Oracle cut a bunch of people, over 10,000 people. And what they said was setting up brand new environments for customers. They were doing it in 24 hours. Used to take a team of three, two weeks to do this. Right. Yeah, I get, you're going to get efficiencies. Problem is when something goes wrong. Like what happened with AWS when AI started rebuilding one of their instances and took down a portion of the Internet because they put the production server down and they started doing more of that. This is what, this is where you actually get this sort of people who are going to use AI as a scapegoat to maybe show some initial benefits of getting rid of people. It happened with, with Jack Dorsey's company. Jack Dorsey's company. How silly that was. Like they got rid of half of their employees, but somebody posted the real numbers of his companies that are kind of struggling a little bit. Not showing that, oh, we're getting efficiencies with AI. That's the spin. That's not necessarily what's happening, but AI is eliminating a lot of these entry level jobs. You got people, kids coming out of college what are they going to do? Thing was you got your foot in the door and you started from there. Well, law firms, top law firms around the country in the United States are already reporting that what, they would hire somebody junior. They lost money on them for the first three years, one to three years because of the training, putting them through the trials, getting them into the routine. They're saying that AI, and this is not chat, GPT or Claude, this is very specific AI which is trained on law. There's a couple of organizations out there that just deal with legal side of things that the AI is doing better than their one to three years of these, you know, these juniors that they lose money on because they're grooming them to be partners. They're grooming them to bring them in the organization long term. They're investing in them, but they lose money on them. AI is doing the performance of one to four year juniors and it's doing it better, it's more efficient and it's less costly. So you're going to see a lot of these juniors. And meanwhile there's statistics that come out that says that the first time in history, at least the last 40 years, you have more people entering law school than ever before in the United States. Well, I don't know what they're going to do because a lot of it's going to be AI. Now you need to understand, to look at the AI and you need to be able to have the state of mind to know that yes, this is bs, this is hallucination, this is good, good, this is bad. You need to be able to have that critical thinking going on. Because when you have experience, you understand, I can tell right away that. And you say like, put the citations, it can citate, you know, it can cite stuff. And the AI stuff, you go read it like, no, that's not what they said. Oh yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right, I made a mistake. So when you think about all this stuff, it comes to one thing. You got to be vigilant, you got to pay attention to what's going on. And a lot of what's happening is being filtered. I saw something at one of the other big tech companies as a lawsuit against them because they're filtering out anybody who's over 40 years old. They were like, nope, you're not even getting a shot at this at all. You're done. So there's a big lawsuit. And because they blamed it on the AI, they're like, oh, the AI was doing it. Yeah, I'm sure the AI was responsible for that. So you have people that are 41 years old, in the prime of their careers who have some good, solid experience. 10, 15 years experience. They're getting filtered out. So what does that say about the industry? And what about AI and what it's doing? So it doesn't do it without human intervention. So it's a little bit of ridiculous thing. Anyway, that's all the time we have. Jeff already bailed. I'm getting ready to go. We're gonna see you guys on the next one, and that'll be tomorrow night at 8:00pm Eastern Time. Guys, come on back here. We'll do more crypto news along with some geopolitical news. And we value your comments and you guys are a significant part of the show. So, guys, have a great rest of your weekend, depending on where you're coming in from. And we will see you on the next one.
