Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with Chip. What is going on? Chip good co host, Always live here, having some fun. We're gonna get into some amazing things tonight. Number one is gonna. We're gonna cover the financial system. Why do we got to cover the financial system? Because it's not just being disrupted anymore. It's being rebuilt in real time. We're watching this thing in real time. The major shift with crypto. We got to see what kind of crypto policy we're gonna get. We're actually watching the pieces fall into place. Xrp, Rails, flare, smart execution and the biggest payment networks on earth are stepping into crypto. That's right. Some of the topics tonight that we're going to get into. MasterCard, launching crypto partner program with 85 companies. That's pretty big ripple. Expanding global licensing. Australia might be on the on the list. 50 billion. That's right, billion with a B. Ripple buyback. Rumors. And Chip, when you get into the geopolitics and sometimes it's kind of feel good stuff because more companies are fleeing blue states, more companies leaving California and they're coming to places like Florida and Georgia. So we're going to get into that. And a huge presidential shift over in Chile. We got to cover that one. That's big news for South America and China. We're going to talk about some energy shortage over there. So lots to cover. You guys hang in there. Give a shout out where you're coming in from. And Chip, if you're ready to kick this thing off, let's go.
Narrator/Intro Voice
Welcome to on the Chain.
Chip
Yes, yes, yes, indeed, Jeff. What a day I had yesterday. Wake up, no power. Get a call from the water company. 1100 gallons are a minute. I think we have a water lake. Let me think. Is any in your house flooded? No. So I go outside and find it all bubbling out next to my driveway, just pouring out. So I was like, it was one of those days, man. One of those days. Speaking of days, look at this right here. It's a little bit off Flair. Hugo Fillion. Look at this. So Hugo, who had the chance to meet in New York, Hugo is the founder and the CEO of Flair and Bloomberg put this story out. Jeff, read this story. This is hard to understand or even. Even have it. I don't even believe why they're doing this stupid thing.
Jeff
Even grass. So you know Hugo. We'll go to Hugo's comment first. Or should we read this first?
Chip
Let's read this first, then we'll talk.
Jeff
I like Hugo's Comment. But Winston Churchill, who's on the one of those banknotes over in the uk will soon disappear from UK banknotes as the cigar toting wartime leader makes way for creat like hedgehogs and badgers. After a public consultation, the next generation of pound notes will feature native British wildlife, according to the bank of England. I don't know, I'm not a big fan of the wildlife being on your bills. Kind of like, you know, some of the historical leaders being on the bills makes a little bit more sense. But I like Hugo. I can't, I can't anymore with the uk. It's so sad too said finally, time for me to look to the USA as the last bastion of democracy and sanity. Usa, usa.
Chip
Amen. I'm a big like and say I'm quote this puppy and I'm gonna say we need more patriots. Welcome. Right? Welcome to the jungle. Welcome to the jungle. We need more patriots. Welcome to the last bastion of sanity.
Jeff
Sanity. I like that.
Chip
There we go. And then we're gonna post that puppy up there. Bam, there it is. That's how you do it. I love posting stuff during the show in real time. I mean, it's just, it's funny because Trump's, when Trump said last week when he talked about Keir Starmer, he said he's no Churchill and they're like, I mean, why would you get rid of Churchill on the, on the notes? You can put like hedgehogs on there. It's so stupid.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
Your country stands for nothing and you want to get rid of, you know, and it's funny, a lot of people, if you don't do the deep dives, like the Churchill was treated so poorly. The guy single handedly stood up, the only one in Europe, by the way. Everybody else rolled over like, you know, like, oh, you want to come in? Sure, come on in, take whatever you want. The Nazis were rolling across Europe and he's like, hell no. He stood up, he was banging his desk, he was smoking a cigar. And of course the left, people think this left is a new thing. But the leftist totally tortured him. There were all these horrible stories about him and they basically forced him out of office. I mean, the guy basically single handedly, you know, got the US and US got involved and he single handed was the only country in Europe to stand up to Nazis.
Jeff
Yeah, thank you.
Chip
And the left came in and rolled in and tried to rewrite history as they always do. There's nothing new, of course, of course, Jeff, nobody's really that. But this is A dude. This is such a huge story right here.
Jeff
Mastercard on the big tvo.
Chip
Oh my gosh. I'm very intimidated now. Holy cow. Big tv. Oh yeah. How about this? Boom. Oh my God.
Jeff
Whoa.
Chip
Hey. Now we're on the big tv, Jeff.
Jeff
Now we're on the. We're on the big tv. That's too big.
Chip
That's too big for me. Even though it's too big, it's too big. Look at this right here. This is a crazy story and this talk, we've been talking about this for years. But digital assets are entering a new phase. This is from MasterCard what. Which what rans parallel in existing financial system is increasingly being applied to solve practical real world needs, often behind the scenes. From cross border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities and values in how money moves globally. This doesn't sound new to us, but it is new coming from MasterCard. So today we've introduced the MasterCard crypto partner program. It's a global initiative that brings more than 85. Now this would be interesting if you roll this down, we're going to bring 10 of the top or the 5 at the top or 6. 85. This has been, they've been at this for a little bit. A global initiative that brings together 85 crypto native companies, insane payment providers, financial institutions. Together we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space begins to mature. And here's the, here's the story they had on the thing and I thought this part right here was interesting. Where was it? Yeah, right here. So built for innovators, designed for deployment. So the, this program reflects a core belief that the next phase of on chain payments will be built through collaboration. This is key. There's not like this is the solution. This is the company, this is the exchange, this is the financial institution. No, it's all about if you're going to get mass adoption you find people where they're at and of course you're going to recognize a lot of the names here. But through the program the participants will engage with MasterCard teams on the design and direction of future products and services including solutions that aim to bring the speed programmability of digital assets offer with established card Rails and global commerce flows. By creating the shared framework for collaboration program helps align innovation across an ecosystem while supporting consistent standards and responsible growth. The focus will is practical execution translating technical innovation into scalable compliant use cases that can operate against markets. And this is interesting because you know MasterCard and Visa have always been big competitors in the U.S. right. But MasterCard quick to implement this. I know Visa is trying to do a lot of their own stuff, but I don't know, this seems like a better methodology. Jeff, what do you think?
Jeff
Yeah, I kind of, I like, you know, the, the move. I think it, you know, definitely builds a little bit of community engagement. It shows that they're kind of on board, you know. So I think it makes a, makes a big difference. It's not just hype, it's, hey, you know, they're dipping their toe into a space that they see that's expanding on a rapid basis and, and there you go. I mean this is the next wave of, of big, of big financial opportunities. Why would they want to miss out? You know, why are others sitting on the sidelines? You know, why is the left trying to continuously crush crypto? So, but there you go, private, you know, private industry gets to embrace it and move forward. It. You know, this is a great graphic. It shows, you know, the partnership shows the direction that they're thinking. This is really net positive.
Chip
So many great things like circle in there, you see Moon pays in there, you know, I mean amazing company. Paxos, I mean just huge PayPal, you know, it's massive polygons in there. It's just, it's just a huge thing that you're going to see. And there's Ripple too shift so far. I mean a lot of the big financial institutions are in here. It really is incredible to see this go down Ripple. Put this post up here that digital assets are moving from experimentation, good choice of words there. To real world use. We see collaboration across ecosystems the key to connecting on chain innovation with trusted global payments infrastructure initiatives like the MasterCard Crypto Partner Program help bring builders, networks and financial institutions closer together. And that is well, well said.
Jeff
Great statement.
Chip
Yeah, it's a great statement. And Ripple's obviously been on the move. They've been doing a lot too. But I'm gonna play this video too because they got a new bank.
Jeff
Non stop.
Chip
Non stop banking license. Can these guys get. I mean they're just like, they're rocking these guys. I mean it's non stop.
Jeff
Look at that. Luke's saying we forgot the shape and we're trying to grow, grow out a little bit like Luke.
Chip
Yeah, we didn't. There's no, no shade. No shade. We're trying to, like we're trying to. We're trying to catch up to Luke and some of the other people in the chat here. So we have to that was Jeff, when I first said, they were like, yeah, dude, we haven't shaved in all week. I'm just like, you know, it's been, it's been a whole deal with not shaving, but that's all right. I go, dude, I didn't shave. He goes, me either. I'm like, all right, good. The non shave twins. Here we go, let's do it. But check this out, Jeff. This is something new from Ripple.
Monica Long
APAC continues to lead in digital asset adoption and innovation. We're seeing real momentum with financial institutions and with banks. That's why securing our Australian financial services license is such an important milestone. Customers in Australia will be able to leverage Ripple payments for real time settlement, global on and off ramps and last mile payouts all managed end to end with Ripple. With more than 75 licenses worldwide, Ripple continues to lead on responsible regulation and APAC is a major driver of that growth. We're excited to keep building across the region and to support the next phase of institutional adoption throughout Asia Pacific.
Chip
Jeff, I'm looking at her like, do this read. I'm like, is that Monica Long's like long lost Australian sister?
Jeff
It does look, I mean they have,
Chip
they almost look like they could be sisters. Like they're all. It's their Aussie. So, so Don and Oz, you got this, this Monica Wong, the, the Aussie version of Monica Long, I gotta love it. But they just keep rolling, man. And it's, it's remarkable. And you know, something else that's been pretty cool too. We read, I think it was about a week ago, a week and a half ago, when Ripples talked about their decentralization, about starting some new things going on. I mean really support like having the ZODA be the voice for, you know, with things, the community, the decentralized voice and sort of offloading XRPL Commons. And of course, you know, there's a new issue over in Asia and Marcus Infinger, who's an SVP over there at Ripple, he was recently on the Block podcast and he was asked this question, I thought this is pretty interesting, but he was asked about Zao Dao on the Block crypto podcast. Listen to this. The Zao Dao and how much power
Ripple Executive
will sort of go to that community? I would say it's a relatively newly formed entity in the wider XRP ledger, kind of like ecosystem. It's essentially decentralized autonomous organization. Like what now obviously implicates or implies. Sorry. And it's built specifically for the XRP ledger, kind of like as a government Governance layers to address some of the ecosystem fragmentation, to provide more of the community to have a vote on certain items to get involved. And I would say it's a sign of more of the same that we've been seeing. We also announced recently a new APAC hub. So sort of like an XRP ledger ecosystem entity just focused on the APAC market, helping developers getting involved. And look, there's a core belief behind we as ripple. We want to see more other strong stakeholders in this ecosystem because ultimately if you think about this movement, it's really a movement that's powered by the, you know, the thought of decentralization. And I think the blockchain ecosystem that will stand the test of time will be those that have several strong ecosystem entities collaborating together for you know, basically use cases and good outcomes for these respective ecosystems. So excited to see what will come out of Saudao Zaodao.

Chip
okay, and then in there I did go ahead and put my the link in there for it for app Zadao but you guys can click on that and join the Zodao and I will tell you like how many members is the Zodao up to? Let me go here and look. 896, Jeff. Look at that. I mean right there, 896, it's on its way. It's on its way. So a thousand at a thousand there will be start writing proposals and people can start submitting those. But 896, so 104 away from a thousand thousand is consensus. So people can start submitting, you know, different proposals. And so that's going to be really interesting to see how that comes together and see what kind of people put out there. I know Dirk from Expector put one out there and obviously just kind of floating around. It's a little bit too early because it's not accepting it yet, but just kind of like getting ahead of the game which is kind of cool in its own way. And so it's interesting to see kind of track the progresses out. You guys can click there. It's $10 one time fee unless Jeff writes his proposal one time fee. And it is a, it is a, you know, the equivalent of $10 in XRP. You pay an XRP but it's $10 USD so United States dollar there. So that's that. That's it right there. Take this one Jeff. This one's about Garlinghouse kind of giving us a state of what's been going on with him and the team lately, man.
Jeff
And they seem to be everywhere. Three continents, four global office visits, five days. I mean that's pretty massive. That's pretty fast, you know, short timing. I've done those kind of back to back trips like that kicks your ass on and it kicks your ass all at the same time. Cross too many time zones to count. Recently Monica Long and I along with with others on the Ripple leadership team traveled to Dublin, London, Singapore and Sydney. That's a stretch. To meet with the Ripple team, many of whom joined from our acquisitions of GT G Treasury, Hidden Road Rail, Palisade and Solvexia. A few notes from the road number one, centers of gravity business and or employee are never stagnant and getting out of the US coastal mindset is imperative. It was incredibly energizing to hear from the new and long time ripplers on what moves the needle. On what moves the needle and where they're and where they are. Number two, culture cannot be taken for granted. More than ever we're championing a maniacal focus and eliminating bureaucracy for employees to be owners. Don't confuse activity with progress. Interesting.
Chip
It's huge.
Jeff
That's huge. There's a lot of points here. Number three, adoption doesn't happen overnight. I like this one. Platforms point was this be platforms are greater than.
Chip
Yes.
Jeff
Point solutions. Is that how that would read sort of thing. So platforms are greater than point solutions. Meet customers where they are, not where they might be in a couple of years. That that's good too. If you try to forecast out so many years, you're too early to the game. So do it right now.
Chip
That's the MasterCard crypto program. Right where people are. You're a MasterCard holder and you want to go ahead and you can leverage any of that. You also are, you know, a fan of Ripple. It's fantastic.
Jeff
Number four, this is interesting. AI is becoming a fundamental part of our products, especially in cash forecasting and liquidity management in real time for the office of the cfo. Employee productivity may be where AI starts but the end goal is much bigger. Interesting. I wonder where that's where that's heading. A big, big things happening. Think about how AI can really, you know, fundamentally transform the way that all this oversight is going to work for liquidity. I mean that you were talking about huge sums of money to provide for liquidity. Huge, huge, huge. Number five, 2026 is shaping up to be another defining year. Spot on, man. We're in the right markets with the right capabilities across payments, custody, liquidity and treasury management. There's a huge opportunity ahead, and we are making sure XRP is at the center of it. Look at that. Look at that. Five top points.
Chip
This is great. I'd love to see more of this. I think this is great having the CEO kind of give these updates. I think it's fantastic. Kind of let the. Because one of the cool things that he said in here, which I really relate to, because I think we all get caught up in this. Don't confuse activity with progress. You're busy, you're doing stuff during the day, you're working, you're doing your stuff. But I have to constantly ask myself the question, is this moving it forward? Is it pushing it ahead, or am I just busy? Because a lot of times you get stuck with busy work, new work. You should be able to offload that busy work to, like, AI or, you know, the stuff that wastes a lot of your time that doesn't help you sort of move it forward. So that's where I think that he's so spot on. That really resonated with me. Stu Alderadi, the general counselor for Ripple. This is interesting. Okay, so he said, great catching up with Senator Gillibrand over lunch this weekend in sunny Florida. He lives in. He lives in Delray Beach, Jeff.
Jeff
Oh, that's right. He does.
Chip
And her tireless and steady leadership on market structure should give everyone optimism that this can get done on a bipartisan basis. And if you guys don't know, Senator Gillibrand is a Democrat, but she's one of the very few that has, you know, and she's a senator, which, you know, the House is a little bit different, but in the Senate, she's one of the very few true leaders in the Senate that's championed crypto, and she's a Democrat. And really, what. What Stu's saying here is this is not a partisan thing, and it should never be a partisan thing. But Senator Gillibrand has been very pro crypto. And again, in the Senate. I think of the Senate as a place where things go to die, Jeff. There's so many rhinos in there. There's so many. There are so much knuckleheads. I'd like to line them all. Line them all up, all 100, and just run down the line, smacking everyone in the face, you know, because they're all. They're all knuckleheads, most of them. But. And I. And I love this too, because, you know, you've seen. You've seen Stu with, you know, with taking photos with the President along with Brad Garlinghouse being very involved. But this is really what it's about. This is bipartisan issue. It should never be a partisan issue. It shouldn't be the right versus the left. It should be, we all want to win together, we all want decentralization, and it all works together. What are your. What are your thoughts? It's good to see. I think it's a great development here.
Jeff
I. I think it's net positive, you know. Yep. This is, you know, feel good news, you know, for sure. Especially if we're looking to move the needle forward, you know, within, within the Senate for, for crypto. So we've got to have, you know, like, minds come together. There have to be people that are involved at the industry level and at the legal level that kind of understand the dynamic, putting it together. I like that. I like that. I like. I, I like the imagery. I like where it's going. Here's the big question though, with Stu Alderotti. I thought for some reason he was in West Palm beach area, but if he's in Delray Beach, I wonder if he shops at the Boys Market.
Chip
I would hope so, man. I've not seen them there. But doesn't mean you guys don't know. The Boys Market's a great place in Delray beach where they have. They have tons. Well, it's. It's great vegetables really inexpensively. But they have, but they have a. I mean, they're like, you can, you can. They've got the food that you can pre package. I don't know what you call that, Jeff. Like, you know, you get pre package your food or whatever the prepare food. Good stuff for the week. You know. He wants some lasagna's lasagna. You want to get this. It's all. And it's really good too. It's really phenomenal. Great fish market there.
Jeff
Amazing cheese section.
Chip
Cheese is fantastic. The whole place is. And it's like you go in there and you can rest assured that you're going to get banked into at least three times in there. Bang. People backing up. Because the aisles are super small. It's a small place.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
And there's like no room for the carts. The carts are those tiny cards. But you can't. It's like wherever you stand for a second, people are hitting you. Excuse me. Move. You know, it's like feel like you're in New York City. It's like you're only constantly getting hammered,
Jeff
as is the parking lot.
Chip
I've been going to the Boys for more than 25 years now. I love it.
Jeff
I love the boys places, you know, the boy. The boys is great. Then they have the girls. Then they have grandmas.
Chip
Yeah, the girls ice cream.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
I don't know.
Jeff
And the cousins run the ac. The AC repair shop.
Chip
All right, there you go. Look at that. It's a great place. And this was big crypto. Posted this and this is the first time because I wrote in a post today that you know Ripple, a 40 billion dollar company and I was wrong. Look at this. This is Ripple kicks off share buyback at 50 billion valuation.
Jeff
50. 50 billion.
Chip
50 billion. When did they get that rocketing? It must have been the latest acquisition. You know, I remember we started tracking Ripple. They were in the 4 to 5 billion dollar range as a company. Now they're up to 50. Soon there'll be a hundred billion. But these acquisitions are probably certainly added. But company evaluated at $50 billion. Wow, how times have changed. That's very, very.
Jeff
Oh, you're right. Yeah, you're right though. Through those major acquisitions.
Chip
Yeah, the acquisitions have a lot to do with it. So Rob Licker, who's a friend of the channel and I got to meet Rob finally in person when I was up at. When I was at the Swell in New York and I was hanging out with him at xrp. We met at XRPL or XRP Community Night. But there's a picture of Rob with Brad Garlinghouse. I miss Brad. I know. We were. We were live streaming. We got David Schwartz walking by and like, you know, waving.
Jeff
Oh, that's right.
Chip
Remember that? Remember you had that live? I was live streaming from the event. We had that. But he said perhaps someone who was at the XRP New York City community night on November 2025 after swell can help unravel a mystery that's really bothered me. Ready? Player X was kind enough to make this amazing gift coin for Brad Garlinghouse based on the work of MK3D. And you know, he saw Brad and there it is right there. And then here he posted this. He hates for plugs. But this really bothered me. A lot of us went through to get darling House's gift. If a bad community member pocket the coin, it's wrong. I put this. Guys, if you know who took the coin at XRPL Community Night. XRP Community Night last November, New York City DM me return the coin, no questions asked. We're trying to get the coin back because it's disappear. Well, I will tell you exactly. Well, it. I'll tell you. So I got some More clarification on this here. So he said he. He was in the elevator. So there was an elevator. I remember Brad got on this elevator and it went. The elevator went up to the rooftop. I didn't know where they were going at the time. I wish I would have known because it was so crowded and unbelievably busy. But Rob says, I think that Ray Fuentes was in the elevator. I recall the person I handed it to being in a black suit with short hair and athletic build. Looked like security for Brad Garlinghouse. Got in the elevator with a few people and then later returned. I wish I had held on to the coin. So I don't know.
Jeff
Why did he give it?
Chip
I have no idea. Maybe the guy said, oh, could I see that? Or maybe he thought that guy was with Brad. I don't know. I don't know exactly. It's hard to tell from one post what it is. But, you know, it was. It was a. It's a shame. It was a nice. It was a nice gift. And it's just sad that crap like that has to happen, especially in the community where it was, you know, for somebody else. You know what I mean?
Jeff
Yeah. So somebody in the community. Maybe it was just someone getting in the elevator.
Chip
Yeah. It's a sad day, Jeff. I mean, I hate when that stuff happens. But moving on. What's up? When was was at XRP Community night? It was that Wednesday after Swell. Swell was on Tuesday and 1. Tuesday and Wednesday.
Jeff
That was a while ago.
Chip
Yeah, it was in November. But he's. He's bringing it up because it still bothers him. And it's possible that Brad could have gotten the coin. You know, he doesn't 100 know, but just. He didn't hand it to him. So that's. Who knows? I mean, all I know is if somebody knows something about it, they can come forward and sort of talk about it. Let's not get, you know, let's not lose sight of what's. What's really key here and important. So this woman here, Jeff, I wanted to talk about this. This was something that. About Mandani, the gift that keeps giving. He's the dumbest. And we know why he was elected. Because all the foreign borns. Happy St. Patty's Day. Everybody voted for him. Most majority were foreign born. Okay. Because they're all. They're mostly Muslims and they want Sharia law and they want to destroy the United States. They don't stand with freedom. They want people to be treated like, you know, like dirt and so this woman grew up as a Muslim. She exposes what was missed and what was said at the mosque. Zohan Mandami gave his speech out when he was elected the mayor. She says we missed it because it was in Arabic. They called. Here's what they said, the verse that they. At the mosque when, when, you know, his afterparty here. But listen to this. This is. It's a little bit too late. I would have wish we would have caught this like a little bit sooner, but this is going to go completely unnoticed. You won't see it anywhere but here.
Narrator/Intro Voice
Listen very carefully to the verse that is being recited here.
Chip
Stand before you as the first Muslim mayor in our city's history. As the first jum that I have attended in that new position. Oh, the killing of the infidels by the sword.
Narrator/Intro Voice
For context, I grew up Muslim. I studied the Quran in Islam for years. I wore hijab on my head. And the verse that you just heard is from the quran. It's Surah 9, verse 5. And it's often referred to by many scholars as the verse of the sword. I mean, this guy kind of has no shame. On January 2, 2026, 16 different landmarks across the state of New York were illuminated in green to mark the launch of Muslim American Heritage Month. One of those Sites being the 1 World Trade Center. The green lighting was chosen because green is typically associated with the religion of Islam. For some people, especially the families that were affected by 9 11, that symbolism felt like a slap in the face. Felt like it was a slap in the face to me. And you want to know where I was during 9 11? I was in a Muslim private school with a hijab on my head. And we had to evacuate because people were calling the school and threatening to. You know what? I can't even imagine what the families of the victims of 911 must have felt when they walked by the One World Trade center and it was lit up green for the launch of Muslim American Heritage Month. What? And now we see a video circulating online of the mayor's first Juma prayer as mayor. And this verse is recited. What's going on? As an Arabic speaker who can read Arabic, I can confirm to you that that is indeed what that verse translates to. Other passages that are often discussed alongside this One is Surah 9, verse 29. This verse speaks about fighting opposing groups until they submit to a political authority and pay a tax. That's called the jizya. And the jizya is meant to subdue and humiliate them all. Of this, of course, raises a much larger question about symbolism, context, and how historical religious texts are viewed in modern political spaces. Let's just be honest for a second. If any other religion recited wartime scripture while a politician was present, would people stay silent about it? Honestly?
Chip
Amazing. You know, Jeff, she's like. She's like the Persian Jessica Rabbit. She has that same kind of like, sleepy eye to her, you know?
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
You know, she has the. Remember that Jessica was that. That was the. That was a cartoon movie. I don't know, way back in the day. But here's, Here's. I don't know. I was looking. I was like, why does she look familiar? To me, it almost looks like the Persian version of Jessica.
Jeff
I think you're right. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's fun.
Narrator/Intro Voice
Very carefully to the.
Chip
You know, let's see, let's see. Let's. Let's take a look here. So here we go. Yeah, there's some. Something going on. There is Jessica. It's very similar. Rabbit. I don't know. I have to read one of my favorite people. There's so many of them on. There's. I have like a top five favorites on X. But LH Gray has become. I don't. Do not miss one of her posts. She is phenomenally brutal, and I love reading brutal on point when it comes down to this. And I'll read this one. This is what she's commenting on. This video. Houston, we have a problem. This isn't symbolism. This is a declaration of war delivered at the perfect Arabic cadence while the newly elected mayor of New York City sat there like a conquering sultan. This video below by this gorgeous ex Muslim sister didn't interpret anything. She translated it word for word. Surah 9:5, verse 5. The verse of the sword recited at the very podium where Mandami gave his victory speech at the Al Khomeini Islamic Center. Not some dusty historical footnote, not context from 632ad live in 2026 in the city that bears the scars of 9 11. She nailed it with a precision only someone who survived the indoctrination can deliver. Oh, the killing of the infidels by the sword. That's not poetic flourish. That's classical. Tafsir is been Kathier Al Tabari. Every heavyweight of Islamic jurors. Prudence calling the 9:5 abrogating verse. It cancels out every early. Every earlier Meccan plea for peace and no compulsion in religion. Nask, baby. The later revolution supersedes Muhammad's final marching orders before he died hunt the mushroom mushkrin polytheists in which practice means anyone not submitting to Islamic political supremacy until they convert pagesia or die. And jizya, the apologists lie to you. It's not a tax. Quran 9 verse 29 is explicit until they pay jizya with the willing submission and feel themselves subdued, humiliated, broken, second class in their own homeland. That's the psychological warfare baked into the doctrine. Made to fear, finance its own subjugation while knowing his blood is halal if he resists. This isn't extremism, this is orthodoxy. The Imam wasn't rogue. He was faithful on dami. Didn't flinch, didn't walk out, didn't issue a clarifying statement. He sat there, let the sword verse wash over the crowd like a coronation anthem. Because in the Islamic worldview political power is religious power. The uma doesn't separate mosque and state. That's a western delusion we keep projecting onto people who laugh behind closed doors. This is textbook supremacist grooming. The same mind virus that tells a child in madrasa that non Muslims are naji spiritually filthy now sits in city hall wearing a democrat socialist mask. Madame knows exactly what verse 9 what 9, verse 5 means every practicing Muslim with even the basic types we training does. The ex Muslim girl laid it bare. This verse isn't about defensive war. It's offensive, expansionist, eternal. It's the theology engine that turned Persia into Iran, Constantinople into instable and now eyeing the west as the final prize. They didn't hide it, they hid it in Arabic. That's the tell to kia in action. Not the cartoon version, but the strategic one. Speaks softly in English for the cameras roar and the mother tongue for the faithful. And the useful idiots on the left. They'll call you Islamophobic for noticing because admitting the obvious would collapse their entire multicultural fantasy. This man, sworn oath to the very book that commands the ultimate loyalty above the constitution. He didn't just attend the mosque event. He let the doctrine of jihad be recited at the benediction over his political ascension. New York just elected a walking Talkie embodiment of 9 5. And the rest of us and the infidels who built the city are supposed to pretend expression is diversity, that the sword verse is in ancient history. It's a live manifesto. And the man who smiled through it just became your mayor. Sleep tight New York. The Imam wasn't praying for peace. He was praying for your submission. Right?
Jeff
Super powerful. And it's all about conquest. It's also wherever A mosque is built that becomes their holy ground. And they typically won't tear it down, won't move it, won't anything, which is why they typically will prefer taking over previous locations of churches or synagogues, because it's also a form of conquest, you know, and so we have to really be, you know, very cognizant of all of those things. And it is symbolism, you know, to, you know, if they have that little bit right, they know what's going on, the others don't. And it's a, you know, through conquest, through colonialism, if you think about the true colonizers, right? And so this whole fictitious narrative that been laid out by the left at the behest of the Islamists, because the left are just the mouthpieces of the Islamists at this point, especially as they let them spread throughout the Western society at a rate like we've never seen before. But if you really think about, you know, that, you know, purposeful doctrine, you know, and it is, they're apologizing for their behavior. They're not a multicultural, cohesive group. They don't accept others within their community. And they're. And they're working towards, you know, a global conquest, which is what they did throughout the Middle East. And you don't have to take anybody's word for it. Just go back and research what happened in Lebanon. Lebanon had a large, thriving Christian community. Go see how that's doing right now. Not. Not so good. Then they'll say, oh, it's Israel's fault. Oh, somehow Israel, you know, gets involved in the fact that the Islam is sponsored by Iran, you know, for all those years, murdered the Christians in, in Lebanon. What about the Christians that were in Iraq and the Christians that were in other parts of the Middle East? Didn't work out so well.
Chip
Not at all.
Jeff
You know, and so, you know, this is something that's now happening in Europe, on our, on our soil, in, in the U.S. you know, and it's happening at an exponential rate right now. So it takes people like her to be courageous. Why did they put somebody like him at the head of the greatest city in the United States? Well, soon to not be the greatest city, because they're going to lose all their financial institutions to places like Texas, Florida and Georgia.
Chip
Yeah, 100%, man. It's, it's, it's remarkable. It really, it really is at that. LH Gray band sheet. I could do a whole podcast. She's just a phenomenal writer. Just a gift with, with words. And she totally tore that apart. And that was something that, you know, she, I, I read every post she puts up because she's really fantastic. But if you tease this in the beginning, it's amazing to see this. But if the Democrat policies are so good, who brought this up recently? Wasn't it one of the podcasters out in California? If it's so good, why aren't people moving to these meccas? Mecca of liberalism like la. And why aren't they moving to Washington? If they're so amazing, why are people fleeing in record numbers? Well, look at this right here. Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, a complete left loon if you know him, announces that his family is leaving Seattle for Florida the same day Democrats passed income tax on Washington state corporate. Starbucks corporate is moving to Nashville. Now if you know the very first Starbucks ever is in downtown Seattle. It's at the Seattle right across in the Seattle market there. Jeff, you ever been there? Right. Very unassuming. Looks like any other Starbucks store. But the very first one is there, which I've been to many times when I used to go there for business meetings. I'd always try to go there to the market area there. But he says, and it's funny, he puts up this like feel good message like listen, 44 years ago Sherry and I made the cross country trip from New York City to Seattle in our 1979 Audi along with Jonas, our golden retriever. Starting a new life. Sherry be the breadwinner in the family taking a career in design. I started a new job in September of 82 at a place called Starbucks. Back then the Pikes Place Starbucks. That's the where the center is only sold whole coffee and today it's the most visited Starbucks in the world. This guy turned it into something amazing and he says this the spirit of continuing forward. He underpinned our approach to life and the business, philanthropy and most importantly our family. For those of you who know as well, we've entered the retirement phase of our life. See how he's framing it Jeff? Retirement. So retirees go where? Florida. Leaving because the oppressive system. You see how he does that? How nice. Last year we traveled a dozen of places around the world. Places we're too busy to see when we're building Starbucks and raising kids. We've moved to Miami for our next adventure. Together we're enjoying the sunshine of south Florida, all our kids, the east coast be closer as they raise their own. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah. See a good riddance. We're out of here.
Jeff
I love that he's, he's another One that slowly but surely is turning to the right. It just takes time. He's spoken out. They came after him. They wanted to pay tax they wanted to take away from. And he said, yeah, I made a lot of money, but why should I? You know, I sacrificed and you know, ice wine. And his saying he grew up in public housing. So he started. He's the American dream. He's the epitome of the American dream. From zero, less than zero built up a globally recognized brand and they're jealous and they're trying to crush him for it, you know, and, and here he is saying, I'm not, I'm not down with that. You know, you can't come after me and crush me.
Chip
We'll take this story. Another liberal loon place here. Let's go, let's go with this one here.
Jeff
This is awesome. I love this one. This is such a feel good story of the day, you know, because Yamaha Motors, which has been in California I think since 1979, is also, you know, getting ready to leave the liberal bastion. So brutal loss for, for Gavin Newsom. Lots of big corporations are fleeing California. It's such good news. And they're pulling out of California after 50 years and they're going to relocate to Kennesaw, Georgia. So they're going to be moved out officially starting towards the end of 26, with completion of their total move by 28. That's not in this story is a different story, but it massive, massive migration of big companies that are fleeing. And we can think over to what Palantir did when Paler left Colorado. They did it within a week and they did it without telling anybody. All of a sudden they, you know, they start reporting from their Miami headquarters.
Chip
One of the refineries paid a billion dollar fine just to leave. Okay, you know, it's bad. So this guy, this goofball car salesman, this guy's the dumbest person in America right here. He really, he really thinks highly of himself, but nobody else does. So much so that the two leaders in the governor race are both Republicans and they're holding the majority, which means that probably will be a Republican governor because the other ones are pulling so low that the two, the two guys, one of them is going to throw a support behind the other one, but this, because of his policies, he's going to try to run for president. He's going to get laughed. All you have to do is bring all the companies that left, the high taxes, everything. California is a disaster. And I'll tell you what, you get a Republican in there. Clean it up in about a couple years. Totally clean it up. You know, I mean, it's. It's.
Jeff
Man, I was just talking to someone yesterday about that. He was telling me how he used to travel for work all the time to California. And he said he hated going to California. And I said, it's dirty because it was so dirty. It's so unexpected how dirty it is. San Francisco all the way south, it's just. You go to, you know, to LA and just everything. There was nothing.
Chip
San Diego's nice. San Diego leans conservative, right? You can kind of tell.
Jeff
And it's beautiful down there.
Chip
It's beautiful down there. Clean, beautiful city, clean. And the man, the best Mexican restaurant, man. I'll tell you what, San Diego has some great. And it's so super close to the border, so you can just like, pop down to the border. Mexican is phenomenal. Yeah, San Diego is fantastic, but again, a little more of a conservative. And then, I mean, outside, you get outside the big city, it's very red. All the farmers and, you know, stuff, it's all red.
Jeff
Oh, yeah. If you go to fam.
Chip
So this is pretty good right here. So, Chuck Schumer.
Jeff
Chucky.
Chip
Sometimes they do say the quiet part out loud, Jeff. And that right there, this is what's been. I've been laughing so hard at this recently because the Democrats want the Republicans to. They want to know they're not going to reinstall pay for ice, you know, open up the airports and all this. Unless they hear that ICE will not be present at the polling places during the midterms.
Jeff
Right.
Chip
That's weird. Why would you care? Unless your illegal voters are going to turn up and vote. Right? So sometimes they say the quiet part out loud. Like they have zero shame. Like all this stuff used to be kind of behind the scenes. But look at Schumer right here. Listen to this dope.
Chuck Schumer
Voter registration, it makes it. It allows ICE to kick tens of billions of people off the roll.
Chip
Illegals, off the rolls, legals.
Chuck Schumer
And they don't tell them until election day. And you show up and you say you're not registered anymore. You're not.
Chip
Oh, no, no, no. So the illegals turn up and realize they're not registered anymore, Jeff.
Ripple Executive
They're.
Chip
They're not even hiding it anymore.
Chuck Schumer
Not registered here. You're not on the rolls. And they say, I didn't know that. This is a bill that destroys the country. And it is not about showing up id, Will you show up to vote? It's about voter registration rolls Destroying them, purging them, not letting people.
Chip
I don't know who the dude is in back. He's not even buying this. Look at his face. He's like rolling his eyes and back there. Look at. He's like
Chuck Schumer
destroying them, purging them, not letting people know, and taking the rights in a algorithm put together by ice.
Chip
There's no algorithm, dude.
Jeff
No, let's look at that look.
Chip
Right, and are you on the voter roll and you're getting purged together by.
Jeff
This isn't Facebook.
Chip
Now, this is the best part right here. He says it was put together by Doge and Elon Musk. Yes. At least he's giving credit where credit's due.
Chuck Schumer
Put together by Doge and Musk. It's an outreach.
Jeff
That's right.
Chuck Schumer
And that's why so many people don't want.
Jeff
You gotta love it.
Chip
So he's saying that algorithm, they don't want to pass a Jeff because. Because they want their legal base to vote. This is insane to me. And it's so great. Then, then Schumer, definitely a special place
Jeff
in hell for him.
Chip
Oh, yeah, there is. Well, he's lost so much support, he'll. He'll get ousted by aoc, will run against them and primary him. And of course, I'll let the dumb bartender. Here we go. So Chuck Schieber put this out. The SAVE act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won't sign any bills until the SAVE act is passed, so then so be it. There will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE act under any circumstances. Well, he just got ratioed right here. Jeff, look at this. Here's Zeke. Arkham. He says, dear Chuck Schumer, hi, black dude here. I can trace my family ancestry to slavery. I even know where they were slaves. My mom experienced Jim Crow. I think I've watched every episode of Eyes in the Prize when I was younger. With that said, can you directly explain to me how the Save act is Jim Crow 2.0? Literally every black person I know has ID. Literally every black person I know has a car or at least a ride. Literally every black person I know knows how to vote. Well, except the ones with felonies, but they don't count. With your advanced white liberal thinking, you must know more than me. Apparently, as I experienced daily on this app talking about X, White liberals are the experts on being black, even more than actual black folks. Perhaps you could explain to me Like I'm five, I'd look it up on the Internet, but Kathy Hochul has already told me I don't know what a computer is. And Joe Biden said I can't navigate it. Anyway, looking forward to your answer. No hugs. Z, crush the man. He's right. And I've seen the man on the street. I mean, what an insult. I mean, Kathy Hochul, the black people don't know what a computer is. You know, most racist people in the world. These people, they really are. They don't know. What they don't know. They don't know. I don't know what a computer is. What are you talking about? And he doesn't have idea. I like the one interview we always play with a guy bands on the street. Like, you know, do you have an idea? Of course. You know where the DMV is? Yeah, it's right over on. I'm like, so they, but they, they love, they, they supposedly love this base, but then they treat them like the most racist humans on the planet. Jeff. It's on believable and tolerable. And you know, part of the people that are holding up this Save act are people like Senator Murkowski, who's all right. Trump won Alaska by 21 points. 21 points. And here's when you hear.
Jeff
What she has to say is insane.
Chip
She's a nut job.
Jeff
Totally, totally off.
Chip
Think about how does a Democrat masquerading as a Republican get voted if it's not shenanigans? Jeff. That's why she doesn't want it. Stand on the Save America Act. Do you, you know, support getting this legislation passed to protect elections? Not as it is drafted? No. Why not? The implementation in a rural state like Alaska is going to disenfranchise an extraordinary majority. And while I support citizenship voting and voting id, I want to make sure that it gets implemented to me makes no sense whatsoever. Yeah. I'll tell you what, for an old lady, she was motoring, wasn't she? She really wanted to get away from there. That young girl I know, I'm like, she stand on the Save America, you know, support getting this legislation passed. Protect elections. Not as it is. Not as it is. What would you like differently? Nothing.
Jeff
Nothing.
Chip
Here's how it is.
Jeff
You need to vote against it.
Chip
That's how it is. Yeah. You need to, you know, if you want to do a mail in ballot, you got to show an ID so that you can like how it used to be. I don't know how. But again, when you're Asking the questions. You know, the question is, well, Trump won Alaska by 21 points. This is the will of people. And all the polls show Democrats and Republicans like 70, 75% want this. So why are you against the American people? That's the question I would ask.
Jeff
Of course, it's so straightforward. You know, the bill. If you read the summary of the bill, it's, it's just spot on. There's nothing, nothing hidden, not a lot of, you know, you know, just crammed into it.
Chip
It's very simple.
Jeff
It's very, very straightforward. Look at this, look at this. Bill, you know, so requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in federal elections unless the applicant's present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. That specifies what documents are considered acceptable. So they talk about the real id. The bill prohibits states from registering an individual to vote in federal election unless at the time that he applies to vote, the individual provides documentary proof. So it's just like over and over and over again the same thing. You have to be a U.S. citizen. You, you can't register to vote. You can't vote. And that's it. It's very, very, you know, straightforward. And that's all other countries. A little more to it.
Chip
That's all the other everyone. How come other countries don't care?
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
And then of course this John Th. Elon Musk sent a warning. John Thune, look at this.
Jeff
So it's a short bill.
Chip
Somebody posts here. Gunther Ingerman said, does John Thune realize how bad he's up? Elon Musk wrote, not yet. He's about to. I wish we had time to go into some of these other ones. Data Republican totally found out. This is a great one. We just don't have time to read the whole thing. But basically she found out these. Pat, this pack is running called Punchbowl News and he was claiming that all the influencers. That was a poll. The influencers. It wasn't a poll. The influencers. But how he's basically making money off the back of this pack and running. It's a podcast and people pay for advertising. Then those advertisers obviously control can contribute to his re election campaign and you know, so on and so forth and we have things going on with. Let's see, where's this other one? Look at. So Virginia, this is funny. I mean I laugh at stuff like this. You can do this all the time, all you want. You can get. You can. You can ban guns. So this, a man from Bangladesh introduced a bill, SB 749 that got passed and it's an extensive gun bill, a gun ban bill in Virginia. Of course they got that nut job who implemented 50 new taxes. This guy has talks about this, but it's going to be overturned. You can't look at what's already got. You can't even restrict magazines. You can't, it's like the, the, the Constitution is very, very, very, you know, firm on what it is. It's like shall not be infringed. You have the right to bear arms. That's it. That's pretty simple.
Jeff
From Bangladesh just banned American citizens from owning firearms. In Virginia, Saddam Saleem, a state senator in Virginia has crafted SB749 banning all types of the possession, sale, etc of firearms. It has passed the legislation. It's going to the governor's desk. She is a hardcore leftist and will most likely sign it.
Chip
And it means nothing because it's unconstitutional and will get overturned. But I know that it takes time to do it. They're going to do a bunch of stupid stuff in the interim. But you cannot, this bill will not stand. It'll, it'll be 90 in the Supreme Court. It's a very, very, very simple bill. It's pathetic.
Jeff
It's got to get rid of activists like that.
Chip
You got to get rid of them. And another great thing that's happening, Jeff, as a result, I say it's a result of the shift towards, you know, Trump and other things. You see what's happening with Malay, you see what's happened down in Chile. But let's check this out. And Austria is about ready to go full on Hungary here. Austria is right far right. I hate when they see far right. It's just right, dude. It's the far right they try to do to put somebody down. Oh, they're a far right extremist group. No, they're just believe in normal stuff. So Austria's right RE Immigration party, the FPO is poised to sweep elections. Look at that. Bam. They're gonna just. So the fpo, that's everywhere. Except, and, and so when they, they, they're, they're running on re Immigration. In other words, all the, all the people that came in, like the Muslims, they're, they're deporting them all. So they're basically running on Trump's messaging. And Austria has taken of, you know, a, a page out of Hungary, which Hungary never took in and Poland never took in the illegals. But they are like we are getting rid of them. And it's really fantastic. I mean, I'm not gonna go through this whole thing, but immigration is a center of gravity re immigration, not just a smear word from opponents. The FPO used it in 2024 manifesto National Idea, Identity and assimilation matter. They're socially conservative. They're especially hostile to what they call political Islam. On Europe, they're Euro septic, not generic conservative. On foreign policy, they're neutralist and softer on Russia than the Austrian mainstream. Economically, they're not libertarians. Amen. They want lower taxes, support for homeownership, help workers, small businesses, no new taxes. Jesus. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Jeff? On law and order they want a harder state, more police, hardship, crime policy and deportation of foreign criminals. They also like direct democracy and use of referendums. I mean, fantastic. My God, how fantastic is that?
Jeff
And then how about we jump over to South America and go down to Chile?
Chip
Yeah, let's do that. That's my wife's home country there. And you know, we, we. I knew when this last guy was, was elected, I'm like, you watch. I said the crime's going through the roof. I know, I know, I know because I follow the politics there. I know crime is going to go through the roof. But this guy Cass, he ran against that socialist last time and the people thought he was too old. The 35 year old socialist one sounds like a Mandami type character, which he is. Yep. So Jose Antonio Cast assumes a new president of Chile. What a great moment for the right in Latin America long. And when they went right, you know, my wife lived there under, you know, a dictator, her, some of the family was, was, you know, ostracized. Came here because they were, they were attacking them, they were killing any opposition, anybody that spoke out against, you know. And here we have, look at this right here. The embrace of freedom. Javier Malay and Maria Corino Machado together. Jose Antonio's cast inauguration the terror of Latin American dictatorship. You gotta love it, gotta love it. So it was great to watch them shake hands with the new president of Chile. The fact that they're there for the inauguration was just phenomenal. And this says the inauguration of Jose Antonio Cass marks the end of one of the darkest periods in Chile's recent history. Under the administration of Gabriel Boric and the direct oversight of the Communist Party, the country went from being a model of prosperity to a stagnant state with an anemic economy and a runaway public debt. Boric also surrendered national sovereignty by allowing organized Crime and drug trafficking to take over the streets. It got so, so bad, you know, for my wife's friends down there, my brother in law. I mean, just burning places down just like you. They carjack and hit you from behind, shooting people, taking their car. That was, it was usually a phenomenal place. But a lot of this came down from other, other, you know, other criminals basically poured into Chile. So it's not even Chileans that are doing this, which is just horrific, to be honest.
Jeff
I mean, and they let it happen. So now we're seeing a trend in South America with Argentina, El Salvador, Chile, that whole region.
Chip
The other one, where's the other one? Conchado, where she's from, they just. That recently went right as well. But this is, this is typical Jeff. This is how the liberal cover this story right here. Breaking Zionist Nazi cast wins in Chile. Jesus, look at that. And look, he destroyed his rival. Look at that. It was, it was, it was a hefty. Hefty.
Jeff
Thank goodness.
Chip
Yeah, it's just like they're gonna. Yeah, obviously his family does have ties to Nazi Germany, but they did flee Germany and, but they always want to, you know, and like. So if, if you're worried about this thing with you love Israel and this. Well, here's, here's what's happening. You're seeing stuff like Lebanon wanting to broker peace deals, calling on the Trump administration, want to be part of the Abraham Accords. You're seeing the Abraham Accord, it's created peace in the middle. You're seeing Iran being taken down and Persia returned to the people, the rightful owners after 47 years. And who's doing all that? That's right. The man, the legend, Trump is doing that whether people like it or not. But this is something that's been trying to be done for thousands of years. It's happening. They want peace in the Middle East. People said it could never be achieved, but all it turns out all they needed was a new president.
Jeff
That's it. And he saw that it was either it was over the past couple days. There's a possibility that they dropped a Moab. We haven't seen a Moab. Been well
Chip
digging on that. It doesn't look like it was a Moab. It didn't have the radius. The, it didn't have the 1 mile radius. It looked like it was pretty big, but I don't know if it was a Moab.
Jeff
A little more contained. Yeah, there's so much discussion. It would be very cool if it was a mob, you know, that'd be that, that bomb, the mother of all bombs, when they, when they built that, I mean, it was so impressive when they dropped it over in, in Iraq. And it just vacuum seals, it's all. It's for taking out, obviously, square footage or mileage or, you know, whatever, but it's all about what's going on underneath. It just vacuum seals that just compresses everything. So it was so impressive.
Chip
I guess you can't. So here we go. Here's a narrative collapsing in real time about Iran. Check this out, Jeff.
Interviewer
Start therefore by asking you, how do you see the situation in your country over the last 10 days? The relentless bombings, the manner in which Ali Khamenei was assassinated, and the likelihood of even more violence. How do you see the situation from where you are today outside Iran, that kind of university?
Chip
Don't you like how he framed the question?
Jeff
We know which what side he's coming out on.
Chip
Yeah, no shocker there. Him and his big goofy glasses.
Jeff
That's right, yeah. What's going on with that?
Elnaz
Hi. So thank you for having me. And thank you for finding it important to see the point of view of an Iranian throughout this interview. I'm going to try and voice the majority of Iranians voices here and try and make the world understand, as much as it sounds cruel, the Iranian people have been asking for help for many, many years now. You know, it's been 47 years that this regime has been in power. And at this point, it has reached a place where the Iranians have been massacred in January and in many, many other different dates in history where this regime has gone against them and where they had no voice and no power to overthrow them. So at the moment, you will see a majority of Iranians taking pictures and videos of the bombs coming into the country, but super excited because they know that they're targeted at the IRGC and at the regime. And they're so excited and they have so much hope that finally this regime is going to fall.
Interviewer
Maybe, you know, hold on. You know, you're saying they're excited by bombs, but let's be clear, Elnaz. We've seen a school which was bombed and more than 160 innocent school girls died. And there is enough evidence that the Americans were involved in this. There are fears, therefore, that if this continues, more and more civilian lives will be lost. Aren't you concerned that all of this could only result in further destruction of your country and the possibility of a civil war breaking out? Doesn't that worry you? Or do you simply want the Regime first out at all costs.
Chip
I love the leading questions here.
Jeff
Yeah, the way, the way he spins, you know, the false narrative that's already been proven to be inaccurate, which is debunked at the school, which was an Iranian missile and it's all based on Iranian media. So how are you going to, you know, take that at face value?
Chip
Americans killed all these kids.
Jeff
Oh, sure, yeah, right.
Elnaz
Of course it worries everybody in Iran and everybody is really sad about the fact that our country had to reach this point. But the 160 school girls now are something that the world is seeing. But when the regime poisoned a full girls school many years back, nobody paid attention. When the regime killed more than 40,000 people in January on the 8th and 9th, and then turned off the Internet for the whole world so that nobody can talk about it, nobody paid attention to that. When the regime has been executing. We have the highest rate of executions in Iran. So many people, so many women, so many men. Nobody pays attention to that. We Iranians know that there will be a lot of casualties, but we also know that there are casualties every day. There are more people dying when there is no war than when there is war. And this is something that will be very, very hard for people to understand. And people will think that I am fake for war. I'm not for war. Iranians are not for war. We don't want this, but we have no other way to remove this regime that has been killing its own people.
Chip
But, but it goes on and on. She's being nice because she doesn't want to get kicked off there, but she's basically delivering this.
Jeff
Look who's here. Ali's here.
Chip
Ally, what's going on? We just did a strong story about Australia. Look at that. Good to see you. Good to see you.
Jeff
It's Baghdad Bob part two.
Chip
It is Baghdad Bob part two. Everything's great. It's perfect in here. It's fantastic. And, and it's funny. Like, here's, look at, look what's happening in Belgium right here. Look at this. Here you go. Here's. The invaders. But these people are peaceful, Jeff. We're told they're peaceful.
Jeff
Exactly.
Chip
We're told they're peaceful, fun loving people. That they, they want nothing but the best. They want all but please, you know, normal stuff. It's just amazing to me. Let me find this one post here. Where is it? Here? Let me look through them.
Jeff
And there's all sorts of.
Chip
Yeah, the Canada one is what I wanted to play, but I wanted to play this one. Goldie Gamari this is fantastic. She says, before I play this clip, I want to preface it with this right here from Goldie Gamari. She says, oh, look, the idiot who kicked me out of the Caucus for Islamophobia two years ago because I was raising awareness about the radical Islam in Canada is now talking about Islamic sleeper cells in Canada. Doug Ford, you idiot. Fat. I told you so. She got kicked out because of. Because she's trying to warn it. And now we have the premiere.
Jeff
Why wouldn't they be there? It's.
Chip
Ford is a premiere of. Of Ontario. Listen to him.
Jeff
Police.
Chip
That. These shootings in synagogues and this shooting. Consulate in any way.
Jeff
Yeah, I. No, we haven't had any.
Chip
Any information on that. But again, this is just me speaking. I believe there's sleeper cells all over the world.
Jeff
As we know they're in the U.S. they're in Canada here, and we have
Chip
to weed these people out and hold
Jeff
them accountable, because, again, folks, we all grew up here. Very peaceful, loving.
Chip
Yeah, well, you see, it's a little bit too late there, boss man. That's a little bit too. It's a little too little too late.
Jeff
Canada's got too big of a population offset at this point. I don't know what they're gonna do.
Chip
I don't. Well, they're gonna. It's. Canada will fall. I mean, that's. It's kind of how it's gonna go. I mean, I don't see it. I don't see it being really any different to you. Here's the Netherlands, Jeff. We're seeing a lot of this. Here's. Look at the Netherlands. It made a boy get on his knees. Jeez, Though, if you saw a lot of. If you saw it the other way around, it would be a different story, wouldn't it? It's just. It's just so sad to see these countries.
Jeff
The shocking part of that story is how tall the kid is when he stands up. He could crush the little kid.
Chip
Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying. You know, it's like. It's. When you have too many of them, you know, it's being overwhelming. And then, you know, Jeff, I'm like, I don't know about playing this next clip. It's pretty. It's pretty gruesome. But here you have in Brazil, a man who. A guy, a vendor came up to him and his family. He was pushing a stroller, and he wanted him to buy something from. The father said, no, thank you. The guy pulled out a gun, and it didn't end well for him. And guys, I'm going to just preface to say this is pretty gory. So the guy took over and basically took care of the guy. Here he is, Mess with his family. A lot of gun in his family. I mean, a knife. Yeah, he was, you know, came up to him and with pull the knife on him and the guy pulled it out of his hand and stabbed him. And he's sitting there waiting for police. But you know, you got to be able to. He's a martial arts guy, so he knew exactly how to remove the blade and take care of the guy. But the guy came at him with a knife and he eliminated the threat. And that's what you have to learn how to do. Not be submissive, take charge. He went right to the side and he's waiting for the police to show up. He had many witnesses, but he took care of the threat.
Jeff
Yeah, that's how it's done. Fortunately, in today's day and age, you got to be trained. You know, you got to go through training, you got to practice and hope you never have to use it. If you walk around armed, hope you never have to use it. And that's just, you know, society today. And it's before it's like, hey, you know, we live in a great country over here because we can walk around armed and other countries not, they're not so lucky.
Chip
That's right. That's why it's very peaceful. That's why you don't have people pulling guns and all the, all the gun violence. People from other countries. Oh, there's so many gun violence.
Ripple Executive
Yeah.
Chip
It's always. It's so funny how it's a none gun zones, right? There's no, it's no guns allowed, like at schools and all those other things. And the schools that did arm the teachers. That's weird. There haven't been any school shootings there, huh? No school shootings whatsoever. When states that allowed their teachers to be able to carry. No gun violence. And that's how it pretty much works when you restrict an area with guns gonna get gun violence. People can't protect themselves. They come in. But you know, knives, cars, whatever it is, people are gonna do whatever it's gonna take Jeff, to make it work and make it happen there. Here we have. I thought we'd add on some light notes here because we kind of went pretty hard. I don't know. Did you see the. Did you see this cutout that they had made of the Supreme Leader? They put it on his head. On a cardboard body and the guy's like, kissing it. And they were carrying it around and stuff. Well, Iran asked Democrats for tips on running the country with a dead leader.
Ripple Executive
You see
Chip
Obama and the cutout of co Main. It's just the unbelievable. Of the supreme leader. You have to love that one also, Jeff. Another tragedy. Tragedy. Knew Ayatollah dead after being accidentally left out in the rain. Got all wet.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Chip
I mean, the Babylon, it never misses.
Jeff
Jeff, they're going to take them all out. They can't.
Chip
Democrats condemn Pete Hexseth for using money to feed soldiers when it could have been gone to Somali daycare. Come on, Pete, what are you thinking?
Jeff
It was. They had steak. They had all sorts of great stuff for the soldiers.
Chip
Yeah, they had all kinds of great stuff. Thank God, man. Yeah, but that's it, Jeff. We burned through pretty much everything.
Jeff
We don't have to carry guns. Well, we don't have to either, but we have the ability to.
Chip
Yeah, that's what you say. But believe me, the people are. When we were in Australia, what we. What I heard overwhelmingly from people that came up to dust. Jeff and I showed us their arsenal, showed us their guns. They said, you carry guns? We carry them, too. Don't believe the Australian propaganda. They asked, but one guy said, you believe the. The propaganda news in your country? I said, no. He goes, why would you believe it coming out of our country? I'm like,
Jeff
that's a very good point.
Chip
And then I can show my arsenals. Check this out. This is our guns. This is what we have. They go, yeah, the people, the posties in the city gave up their guns. But, yeah, you don't have to carry. I'm sure it's fine, but don't worry, the invaders will stab the stabbings. And look what happened in Australia at Bondi Beach. Yeah, sure. I mean, thank God one guy overpowered them and he ended up getting shot a couple times, too, because he didn't use the gun because he wasn't trained. You take the gun from someone, you shoot him six times in the head. Just. He just executes, you know, eliminated the threat. But. But he took a couple bullets because he didn't stop the threat. And you have to stop the threat.
Jeff
So Chad says, I carry a gun because the cop is too heavy.
Chip
There you go. Yeah, it's like, it's. It is funny to me. It's like I remember. This is good. Xrp Hollywood. If a man with no arms has a gun on his waist, is he armed or unarmed? Man xrp, Hollywood.
Jeff
Whoa, we're going that way. There was another one. Hang on, let me see if I can find this other one. I thought I pinned it, but I might not have. Hang on, here it is.
Chip
But that's a good point though.
Jeff
Why did Ripple and XRP go to couples therapy? Because XRP kept saying I'm fast, cheap and ready for cross border love. But Ripple is still waiting for the SEC to approve the relationship.
Chip
Damn, that's a good one. Kind of love that. And Ali says, at this stage, at this stage, we are luckily, incidents are minimal. Yeah, they are minimal. But you know when, when it starts cranking up, you know, you'll start getting the knife violence which you see over in the uk, it's not reported on. They're like, guns are bad. But meanwhile people are getting stabbed left and right over there by the invaders, right? The people who want come over don't want to assemble. If you don't want to come over and adopt Australian, you know, customs and belief that assimilate into Australian culture, then don't come. Stay home, stay in your third world country because that's what you're going to do. You're going to turn. Now, I've seen video of Sydney that looks pretty rough, to be honest with you. It looks like, doesn't look like what? Any place that I'd like to visit. You see London I saw 25 years ago. I was like, holy cows. Shocked. Then it's gotten a lot worse. They're closing down pubs, they're getting rid of British culture. And it's like, if I go to Great Britain, I want to experience that culture. I'm not interested in third world culture. If I wanted to, I would make the journey there, but nobody really wants to do that. Same, same. And now I know somebody just came back from Paris and they're like, dude, you don't even have a clue at how bad it is. I said, I've seen video. He goes, it's worse than what you've seen. It's dangerous, it's bad. You go to the Eiffel Tower, people are about ready to knife you. They're trying to steal your money, they're trying to sell you stupid crap. They're, they're, they're, they surround you. I was like, oh, sounds fantastic. Because that's what I like, that's what I think of when I go to Paris, France. I go to Paris, I want to, I want to enjoy, you know, the Parisian culture. I want to have beautiful wine dinners, you know, the art, you know, that's what I want to. But what do you ex. What do you experience? Garbage on the streets. I'm sorry, man. This is why we're getting rid of it in the United States. Islam's not compatible with Western style life. And we, that's why we pound it over and over again. It's like, and I'm not talking, believe me, there are great Muslims in the world. I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about the radicals who believe
Jeff
in the west that have come to the West.
Chip
Yeah. And, and, and they want Sharia law. If you're for Sharia law, you need to believe, get kicked out immediately because Sharia law is you believe what we believe or we take your head first, we tax the out of you, then we take your head off. And the, and the, and the problem that I have with that is the good Muslims, the ones that are law abiding, the ones that do assimilate, the ones that don't disrupt by pull the prayer mats out and start praying at some, you know, public place. Those Muslims are very respectful and. But they can't speak out because they'll be the first ones to get the heads chopped right off clean. So.
Jeff
There's another big story here that we didn't cover.
Chip
Which one was it?
Jeff
Kind of a breakthrough in the EU Parliament.
Chip
Oh, I have that video, I think. Let me see. Do I have that one?
Jeff
Passing some regulation over there.
Chip
I don't know if I brought that one or not.
Jeff
Like the next big move over at the EU level, which is completely unexpected.
Chip
Yeah, I think I, I don't know if I downloaded that video or not. Let me see if I can. I know I pulled it up. Foreign gas lines in China. No, no, that's not it. I don't. Oh, here it is. I got it. Okay. Yep.
Jeff
Then there's a hole around with it, but.
Chip
Okay, you can take this one, Jeff. I'll put it up on screen here. You can read it. And then we got to get out of here.
Jeff
Well, it's an hour 15.
Chip
Let's do it. Take this one.
Jeff
So this is really. Yeah, I like this. But. So we're seeing some major difference changes in the European Parliament's committee. So a right wing again, they use right wing, you know, just again. Right. Majority passed to deportation regulation. All right. Factions ecr, ekr, ESN voted together. This includes the Conservatives. So the firewall has again fallen on the European level. The new measures include trade sanctions for states refusing to take back migrants, lifetime ban entry bans for security threats DNA age assessment for illegals. Device their phones to determine origin. Lifelong entry ban. There's a lot that has to happen. Of. Of a first step in the right. Oh, of. Of is the first step in the right direction. The blockades against remigration are crumbling. The, the commission, our council might try to sabotage the decision, but still it's had a big impact already. So there's obviously stuff that's moving progressively, even at the EU level. Hopefully they can disband the EU altogether. That'd be even more impressive. And just give back sovereign rights to the, to the countries. Yeah, but then, you know, we'll see how they can potentially neuter the, the slush fund of the eu. Just different ways to move money around. Kind of like the United Nations.
Chip
Yeah, it's a huge development. It's really welcome. And people are tired of it. I mean, these countries. And thank God for countries like Poland and Hungary that said, you know, they're safe. They look at the Polish streets, you can walk around safe. There's no violence, nothing going on. They didn't bring in the invaders. You know, when you invite the invaders in, who have no sanctity for, for life, they, they don't care about life. They don't care about anyone's life. They only care about implementing Sharia law and, and, and converting you and then conquering you. That's it. That's. That's all they do. And it's like, disturbing when I see 40 new mosques going up around Dallas. You know, a red state. You know, they're, they're not combating it. I see the foreign money pouring in to build these mosques. They call them peace centers or some garbage like that. But I mean, imagine any other religion. Imagine some. Imagine a group of Jews going to a public place and disrupting or, or praying or reading the Torah in, In. In Mar. In inside of Times Square. Or a bunch of Christians going with their Bibles and reading from the Bible. How come those. They'd be kicked out. But you can put your prayer mat down and pray to Mecca. And if you guys do a little
Jeff
bit of free in the middle of
Chip
the street, in the middle of street, disrupting traffic, public, you know, public places where, you know, nobody's gonna gather, let alone, you know, an Islamic cult. I mean, you have to sort of call it the way it is. And look, these are the people that are industry law, Sri La. They want it passed. They want it, they want it. You know, all these countries conquered. And as they start seeping into government, the UK's done man, I have a lot of hope for Australia, but the UK is over. These lefty governments that they get in power, I don't even think that they're the will of the people. I just think they're. You'll start seeing here next week. Supposedly we're supposed to hear about the foreign intervention in the 2020. And is it. Is it part of the five eyes? Were five eyes part of it? Was it Australia? Was it the uk? I mean, was it our supposed allies? But there's foreign intervention and there's. I also heard that Maduro was cooperating, talking about the. The. The voter manipulation. Apparently he's been singing like a bird. That's the reports that I've heard. So it'll be interesting to see this play out. But there's definitely proof of what's been going on. People have been saying it's a guy who's barely can talk and walk. Joe Biden did not get more votes than somebody like a Barack Obama. Never happened.
Jeff
Yeah, Exactly.
Chip
You know, 115 of the population in three of the biggest counties in Wisconsin, 115 more people that they actually have population. And most of the people in the United States only 60 vote. So. All right.
Jeff
I don't know why that's a joke. Chip. There's one more that we can. That we can leave with here. Iran cancel. Cancels plan to attack California after seeing Gavin Newsom already destroyed it.
Chip
Oh, my God. That's the bee. Never misses, man. They are just absolutely 100. The best man. The guy buying up churches in the UK. Positive. That's cool. I haven't heard about that, Charles.
Jeff
Also setting fire to churches throughout Europe. All these historic churches have been burned down. And they caught them on. On video, a group of them trying to. They set the. The wood. The big wood doors. They set them on fire. And they're all celebrating as they start burning. And it's just. It's just disgusting, you know, and that. And then they do nothing over in Europe. You know, that's not going to fly over here. You know, come over here and try some of that here, see how that works out.
Chip
Not good at all. Not good.
Jeff
Not gonna happen.
Chip
Not gonna happen. Anyway, guys, we'll see you guys back here on Saturday morning. Saturday we got a guest coming on. You guys gotta just solidify it. But we'll have a guest here, so don't miss that. It'll be a great conversation, very timely conversation about crypto. And you'll hear more about it in the coming days. But we'll see you guys back here on Saturday. Jeff, anything before we get out of here?
Jeff
8:00am Eastern Standard Time on Saturday.
Chip
Be there or be square. Square. That's the fingers out in front of the face, drawing the square. There you go. Be square. Geez, man, we're back in the 50s here. You know what I'm saying, Daddy? Oh, okay. We gotta get out of here. That's it. That's all we have tonight for you guys. We'll see you guys next one. Thank you for showing up, thank you for your participation, and thank you for your support. Go join Zao Dao. Stop being a spectator and go do it. Thank you guys. Talk to you guys soon. Chip and Jeff.
