A
Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on, everybody out there in the on the Chain community? Tell you what, something interesting might be unfolding in global finance. That's right. Signals from Washington and the launch of new infrastructure on networks like the XRP ledger suggests. Blockchain is moving from theory. You got that. To real world deployment. You've got the White House actually releasing a cyber strategy signaling US Interest in blockchain leadership. That's right. U s taking a lead role in blockchain and you know it's going to be great. Blair is adding programmability to expand what the ecosystem can do. Governments are starting to view blockchain as strategic infrastructure. And the bigger question that we're going to talk about tonight is whether a new financial system is beginning to form in real time. And what does that mean for all of us? I don't know. Chip, you ready to kick this thing off?
- [00:59]
B
We're about to find out. Welcome to on the Chains. Luke's coming in. We got art coming in. We got celebration in the house. Chad nauseam. There we go. Party going on right here.
- [01:26]
A
We're going to dig deep into some flair.
- [01:29]
B
Yeah, some cool stuff's going on. The flare crypto already put this out on the socials and she was saying, you know, like, what excites Hugo Affilion. And it's interesting we start talking about the programmability of the XRP Ledger versus, let's say like a Solana. So this was kind of the one interesting that she. And again, this is. This is the representative from, uh, from yellow that's sitting that's having this conversation. Here we go. They're both at XRP Australia. Here we go.
- [01:59]
C
Now. XRP Ledger has recently displaced Solana as a bigger RWA chain. In terms of the rankings, XRP Ledger does not have the same kind of programmability as either Solana, nor does it have the privacy that Canton offers. So what I'm really excited by, especially with the, you know, the new escrow feature that has been created on XRP Ledger, is the ability for those RWA assets that are issued on the XRP ledger to be utilized in Flare's compute layer with privacy and compliance for all
- [02:35]
B
you that are in the US Privacy, we say privacy. We don't say privacy, we say illumina. We don't say aluminium.
- [02:42]
A
May need to interpret.
- [02:43]
B
Just like on the world stage. We own the language now. Sure, it's called English, but of course we did.
- [02:48]
A
Well, we've perfected it.
- [02:50]
B
There's 345 million of us that speak it. There's what, maybe 55 million in the UK. Sorry, we own that just like we own the rest of the world stage as well. We saw how Starmer stumbled and, and tripped over himself. So. But it's cool to see that because, I mean, that's what Reflect is really coming in and offering too, you know, because the privacy is really key. It's gonna be really key, you know, and, and he's right about the real world assets and tokenization. But that's something that man, right out of the gate that, that, you know, that XRP was really, really. Therefore, it's what Ripple is focusing a lot on tokenization. It's a massive market. Everything will be tokenized. Everything will be tokenized. Everything from real estate to, you know, commodities to securities, it's all going to be on chain and it makes a lot of sense to do it that way.
- [03:41]
A
That's right. That's right. Speaking of flare, Good evening. Good evening, Joe. Bud said, speaking of flare, look at its daily chart for its entire existence. What do you see?
- [03:52]
B
I see nothing but upside. That's what I personally see myself. I see nothing but growth. If you, you can remember, like I have Jeff and I know somebody in the XRP community that someone said, hey, you got 25 grand. Put it down right now on XRP. And, and he bought at 0.006 and everybody was going, 0.006, stupid. And then you're going to see once flare eclipses, $0.50, $3, $4, you're gonna be like, wait, I had a chance to buy it when it was under 2 cents. You're gonna be like. And it's not financial advice. I'm just like. It's pretty much what usually happens to a lot of these now is it does. Is it guaranteed? Not at all. You know, you gotta do your own research.
- [04:32]
A
It is.
- [04:35]
B
What's this one Solari says? Not too sure what Zao Dao does. My wife and I each joined. That's great, Melby. Because you guys, I won't be voting because I won't be voting. My membership was just as important to you. No, I think you should vote though too. I think you should have a vote and vote on what's important to the community. I appreciate you joining there, Solari, but again, that's for everybody in the community to have a voice in the XRP community. Azada runs a validator, so you can actually vote there too. Like, hey, here's an amendment now if you don't have an opinion on it, then don't vote. But I would encourage everybody to vote as proposals come in after a thousand. But I do appreciate you both joining and there will be a lot of cool things too. And the other part of it is too is that to build up the treasury to the point of where Z starts investing in let's say companies or takes a piece of it. And as more money flows in the treasury at some point you vote for a distribution, there's enough distribution so there could be a monetization part of this down the line. And again the DAO itself, a lot of the daos went wrong, especially the Ethereum dows. They built actual tokens right on, on, on Ethereum. And the problem was is that that was control the it was all token based where the Zao, the only token is xrp. There's already a token. We don't, there's no Zao doesn't have its own token per se. So that's really the kind of benefit from it. And it's also under the framework that of Wyoming, the Dow, it's, it's the first and the like the biggest one in the nation. It's got a whole legal framework of it so it's rooted. And then there's also protection for its members. So just a little bit there on that consider a donation can do that too. But also consider that if you're in the XRP community which I see by your spaceman with the XRP and you
- [06:21]
A
have now, you now have a vote.
- [06:23]
B
You know, have a vote. You don't have to vote but I would encourage you to get involved. But I really do appreciate you doing that just because you saw it here. It's always fantastic thing and it's ten bucks USD and everybody here should be ten xrp. That's no not ten xrp. Ten dollar the equivalent of ten dollars which whatever the equivalent of XRP makes up. You pay an xrp but it's $10 USD so whatever xrp is that day but it's not 10 xrp. So just to be, just to be there as far as that.
- [06:53]
A
So whatever XRP I think it's like a buck 36 maybe.
- [06:57]
B
I don't even know. I haven't checked it about a week. So I always figure when it goes up I'll know about it. Right. So I don't really someone will say something I don't get. I price watch it when it gets
- [07:06]
A
over 350 it's a buck 35 right now.
- [07:09]
B
Yeah. So there you go, we cool, we cool. But you'd answer my question honestly. The chart does not lie. It shows what happened has happened. Yeah. Well, you remember a lot of it's still happening at this moment, but given where Flair's roadmap is, I mean. Yeah. Has it done much? It's done much at all.
- [07:24]
A
Oh, that's all based on speculation. You know, you think about where flare's at. What has Flair done to start generating revenue? You know, they're kind of in pre revenue stages, you know, but they're building way early. They're building some massive.
- [07:41]
B
We're gonna get. We're gonna bring Hugo on here, we'll talk to him about it.
- [07:44]
A
We need to talk, we need to talk a lot more in depth. But any of any project right now that you're getting in is all purely speculative. And that's the whole point, you know, especially when it's based off the crypto asset.
- [07:57]
B
Yeah.
- [07:58]
A
I mean, where, you know, it's going to be building on the XRPL chip.
- [08:01]
B
Yeah. That's 100. They've done more for the XRP community than any and almost, almost anything going even projects on the xrpl, giving you yield on your XRP is phenomenal. Will. It will. And then you got all these free tokens. So, you know, what do you. I mean, you got money out of the, out of, out of air, you know.
- [08:17]
A
Yeah. Like with anything else, don't invest what
- [08:20]
B
you're not willing to just like rain down on you. There it is, ready for the taken. So Coinbase, or Coin Desk, I should say Coin Desk, which is a trade publication for crypto. But check this out. Florida becomes the first U. S. State to pass stable coin framework. Now the bill heads to Governor DeSantis for signature. Everything's happening in Florida and Texas it seems, Jeff, almost everything good is happening in one of those two states.
- [08:46]
A
A great free state of Florida.
- [08:48]
B
That's right, that right there, rapid response, which is part of Trump's team, Trump's cyber strategy for America. And this is.
- [08:55]
A
This puts us number one. Number one.
- [08:57]
B
It's kind of just like one, like it didn't get like much notice, you know, if you didn't see this come out. So I don't like the way it's written. It's written in this, this. What I do is I took it and kind of just dissected it a little bit, put it into a little bit of a summary, then kind of broke it into some bullet points here, but. And then we'll kind of go through it section by section. But the document really comes down to outlining what the administration' cybersecurity strategies focus on, which is maintaining the technological dominance of the United States, defending national infrastructure, and deterring any kind of cyber adversaries. And the strategy emphasizes using the full power of government and the private sector collaboration, which you don't hear too much either one or the other, to counter cyber threats, modernize federal systems, secure critical infrastructure, and then lead in emerging technologies. Or it comes to AI, quantum computing, and, you know, ultimately blockchain. The plan centers really around six policy pillars which were designed to strengthen national cyber security, increase the offensive and defensive cyber capabilities, and ensure the United States remains the global leader in digital innovation and cyber power.
- [10:09]
A
So, Jeff, really, really, this is, so this is so important. You know, as we dig into it,
- [10:15]
B
we'll trade off of this.
- [10:16]
A
Jeff, it's the US on leadership. Many leadership role. Dominant leadership role. Yeah, go ahead.
- [10:22]
B
We'll take terms on this. Go ahead. And I'll read this first one here. So, Introduction to strategic context. So the strategy really begins by framing cyberspace as this critical domain of national power, economic activity. It argues that cyber threats from adversaries, criminals and authoritarian regimes really are a threat to the US Security, the economic stability and democratic values. So the short explanation here is the administration position cyberspace space as essential to America's economic strength, military power and technological leadership. And some of the key points are that cyberspace is central to U.S. economic growth. The cyber adversaries target citizens, business, businesses, healthcare systems, financial institutions and infrastructure. Cyber crime and espionage impose large economic costs and they disrupt services. And then the strategy aims to address cyber threats more aggressively than any prior approaches. And it's really kind of cohesive here. The main takeaway here is that cyber security is treated as a core national security priority, requiring stronger government action and coordination with industry. And I think that's really key there. Jeff, what do you. What are your thoughts on this so far?
- [11:39]
A
So, you know, number one, you know, the U. S taking a dominant leadership role in cyber, whether it's AI, crypto, blockchain, there. There's going to be more. They also mentioned quantum. This is such a critical, you know, point. Previous administrations ignored the development of it. The Democrat leadership, Democrat representatives and in Congress, in the House and the Senate have done everything they can to undermine the objective of putting America and the United States in a leadership role. The US has been dominant as a leader in tech, and we need to maintain that. If we don't maintain that, not to undermine anybody else's contributions, but from an America first agenda in order for us to win in us in order for us to grow financially and also then to the benefit of our allies throughout the world. You know, we have to have that leadership role. Chip and this is such a departure from if Trump didn't, wasn't in office right now, I mean, the world would be in pandemonium. It'd be absolute chaos, you know, but this would definitely not be happening right now. We'd heard from the likes of Elizabeth Warren and others and Gary Gensler. We know exactly what their intent was. There were too many within the crypto community, you know, that tried to speak out and, and try to make some sort of claim that the Democrats were actually pro crypto, which we all know 100 was fake, was false and, and this is it. So moving forward, this is what's important,
- [13:31]
B
you know, so 100 go ahead and take this next one, Jeff.
- [13:34]
A
I'll go through this one and then get some commentary from you on this. But this is the strategic approach moving forward. Strategic approach. This section explains how the administration plans to respond to cyber threats through coordinated action across government agencies and partnerships with private industry and allies. Right. Short explanation. The strategy emphasizes proactive cyber defenses and the use of multiple tools of national power, not just technical cyber response. The key points here, the US Will act proactively to disable cyber threats. Responses may include diplomatic, economic and operational action beyond cyberspace. That could be. You can read what that means. Private sector partnerships are essential for innovation and defense regulations will be adjusted to accelerate innovation and, and security improvements. The US Will expose and counter propaganda, espionage and influence campaigns. The takeaway here, cybersecurity will involve whole of government and whole of industry coordination with proactive actions against adversaries. What are your thoughts? How does, how does this get into things?
- [14:43]
B
I think the thing here is really key too is usually it's kind of what I was saying before is that you have this strategy that is one of collaboration because the very, the first time we've ever seen, you know, what we saw the last prior administration with the four years before that and even before that, crypto wasn't even really a thing. But this is the coordination of not only the cyber approach, right, the infrastructures, the healthcare systems, all that kind of stuff, but also what's happening on Blockchain. And right here you can see the involvement when the White House brings leaders, you know, they brought ripple in, they bought, you know, Coinbase here. They brought, you know, a lot of the people that, you know, either are running Projects at big crypto companies, crypto cyber security companies. So it's this, it's collaborative approach and a lot of it is getting outsourced source to orgs that can do it better. And I know there's been a lot of strategic initiatives from inside, but it's the first time you've had something cohesive. And it seems, honestly, it seems a little bit overdue to have something cohesive. But I love the fact that there's collaboration in this. I think that's a huge, huge deal right there. And so let's, let's take a look real quick at the first pillar, which really, if we take the short explanation on this, the pillar really focuses on deterring and disrupting cyber adversaries through offensive operations and coordinated responses. You know, this is, we're talking about like deploying offensive and defensive cyber capabilities, you know, and not always on defense. But you also got to take this offensive approach as well. Disrupting the cyber crime networks and hostile state actors. You know, that has been done on a lot of different levels to raise the cost of cyber aggression through the sanctions and operations target infrastructure used for cyber crime and intellectual property theft. We see no China's big theft when it comes to that. And also working with allies to impose consequences on adversaries. So a big takeaway here is that energy or the strategy emphasizes deterrence through active disruption of adversaries, not just defense. And I think that's what your thoughts, Jeff.
- [16:46]
A
I think that that's right. And I, I was looking at Ellie and Tron here. He said instead of Space Force, Cyber Force. So I think we need Space Force and Cyber Force.
- [16:56]
B
Right.
- [16:56]
A
And that's one of the things that they're referencing here, whether it becomes another military division, which in fact maybe we actually need that because of the fact that things are going to this cyber level. And it is a, a national security issue, which is why, you know, if you digitize currency without it being, you know, without there are, with their being programmability and the possibility of some sort of a cyber crime committed against your currency, then where it's a national issue, you know, so that's where, you know, putting it through blockchain, making sure that we have, you know, clear security involved across the board. This isn't just on the defense. And we also have to take in, you know, of offensive deterrence approach, which is really important. And also if you consider, you know, some of the, you know, previous concepts throughout, you know, recent history, you know, if you think about the concept of matter or, you know, you have mutual assured destruction, you know, which was our nuclear deterrent with, with the Soviets, and, and that's important. So we need some form of a, uh, assured destruction, and that's the disruption of our adversaries. It's like, hey, you want to come and mess with us on our, on a cyber front? Well, guess what? We're going to disrupt your entire infrastructure. So that has to, that has to be, you know, a part of it. So that's it. You know, we gotta, gotta regulate. And this, that hadn't been happening before, Jeff.
- [18:27]
B
No.
- [18:28]
A
People run amok. You know, from a cyber perspective, what
- [18:31]
B
do you think about that?
- [18:31]
A
Yeah, go ahead and hack everything.
- [18:33]
B
Eisewine says hostile state actors, in other words, Democrats.
- [18:36]
A
So we're seeing that. Chip, what are your thoughts?
- [18:39]
B
I always see it all the time. It's really sad. I mean, it's. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean, Fetterman has been coming out and owning all kinds of just. I mean, he's just talking such. It's great to hear from somebody who's a Democrat because it's, it's just very logical stuff. I mean, what are you opposing, really? What are you, what are you against? He called out some reporter the other day. He was walking down the, you know, the underground tunnel, and he called and he said, oh, I'm sorry, your boss, because the network that was interviewing, he says, your boss must be really torn up that the Isle of Toll is no longer with us. He goes, what do you mean? He goes, yeah, we know, we know who you support. It was just, it was just phenomenal. Go ahead and take this. Go ahead and take pillar two, Jeff.
- [19:20]
A
So I like, I like this too. Promoting common sense regulation, right? So the short, short explanation here. The administration aims to simplify the cybersecurity regulations to reduce compliance burdens and increase agility. Key points here. Reduce regulatory complexity for cybersecurity compliance. Align regulations with industry capabilities and global standards. Address liability concerns and discourage proactive cybersecurity. Maintain protections for privacy and American data. So the takeaway here is cyber policy should enable faster innovation and response rather than slow with excessive regulation. And again, if we look backwards, we saw excessive extensive regulation is what was planned. And here I like the fact, maintaining protection for privacy and American data. There's so much going on right now on social media and the news where we're seeing, you know, pretend maga, pretend Republicans that are now coming out against Trump. And here's the number one thing that, that rises right to the top when we're talking about this is maintaining protection for privacy. Again, the America first agenda, not the isolationist stupidity of, you know, America only because that doesn't work, isolationism doesn't work. But we have to make sure that we're protecting our home front and protecting that is maintaining from domestic, not just international. We have to make sure we're maintaining the security of our data and the privacy of our data. And, and that's, that's really critical across the board.
- [21:08]
B
Yeah, big time. But the key, I think the other key thing there too is the whole idea of the privacy, you know, keeping everything, making sure things are private. Private, you know, but again it is, it comes down to a national security issue and it's good that this is coming from the President. And if we dive into pillar three, which is really modernizing and securing federal government networks, I mean when was the last time this was even visited? I mean it's shocking we haven't been hit hard already. And federal networks will be modernized using advanced cybersecurity technologies and best practices. Where's that going to come from? The private sector. Okay. The government's not going to invent it. They're going to get the best that's available. And implementing zero trust architecture, deploying post quantum crypto cryptography transition to a secure cloud infrastructure. I think that's probably present, but I don't know, you probably have a lot of infrastructure that's still on prem, you know, on premises type stuff where you really got to get it in the cloud and secure it and then really using the AI powered cybersecurity tools to detect and stop intrusions. Right. Be really proactive and sniff it out before it comes down to happening and improving the procurement processes so that agencies can adopt cutting edge technology. And if you're doing SaaS sales, procurement is the biggest headache aside from legal because procurement is the bottleneck where everything comes down to everybody can sign off and procurement will take their lazy sweet ass time trying to push things through. And a lot of it has to do with they're not using the right kind of tools or purchasing a lot of stuff. And this right here, I, I'm totally down on updating the procurement process. So the federal government really needs to out has to upgrade these outdated systems. I mean what we heard about the, what, what they were using for the, you know, air traffic controllers systems that were invented in the 70s. So that's getting upgraded and also modernized sub security technology so you can remain secure. And AI is going to be a big piece of that. So it's, it's it's critical, man.
- [23:09]
A
That's right. That's it. And policy number four here, filler four. Secure critical infrastructure. Man, I'm loving this whole thing, every part of it. You know, they really thought through it and they've simplified the understanding of it as well. Sometimes you read through these and you're like, what the hell? They just write, right?
- [23:28]
B
There's so much winning going on, Jeff.
- [23:30]
A
That's it, exactly. They had to stick to winning. Secure critical infrastructure. Short explanation. Critical infrastructure sectors must be hardened against cyber attacks and supply chain vulnerabilities. They are visualizing the future. The future is now. You know, the future is directly tomorrow. It's not 10 years off. You know, it's all happening in real time. We have to make sure that these things are, are happening. And, and we're seeing, you know, this is their objective, this is their plan. So the key points here. Protect infrastructure such as energy grid, telecommunication, financial systems, hospitals, water, utilities, secure supply chains and reduce reliance on adversary technologies. Strengthen collaboration with state and local governments. Improve incident response and recovery capabilities. And then their takeaway here, protecting critical infrastructure is essential because cyber attacks can directly impact everyday services and economic stability. Where, where do we go from there? Chip, what, what is this?
- [24:35]
B
Well, I would say this is. That this is something Trump recognized right after Covet. Coming out of COVID During COVID proved that we're relying on other countries for, for, for pharma. We're relying on other, you know, countries for all kinds of stuff. We, I mean, and what ended up getting hit really, when we couldn't. The, this, the country couldn't get back on its feet only because supply chains were threatened. And what is Trump doing bringing Big Pharma here, bringing it. Everything's going to be made here in some point. So if something does go down, you're not cutting off the knees there. So the US Is like crippled and can't move. And this is a lot of where these tariffs have come into play, because you can either invest the United States and make it here, or you can pay big tariffs. And it's a lot easier to conduct yourselves and internally than it is to try to do it and then deal with big tariffs. You know, tariffs can change too. So that's why there's $6 trillion being invested in the United States plus. Or is it 6 billion? I don't know. But it's a lot of, it's a lot of money that have been committed from outside. From outside people. And then so number five, when we look at this pillar strategy, you know, the superiority you got to sustain that. When it comes to critical and emerging technologies, this Strategy prioritizes maintaining U.S. leadership and advanced technologies that shape the future of the landscape. Like you've got to secure the AI technology ecosystem. That's a big one. You don't want that being infiltrated because a lot more things today are relying on AI. Promoting the adoption of post quantum cryptography. We've been hearing about this for a while. Sure it's a bit off, but if you don't start workshopping and thinking about that now could be really bad, bad down the road. Intellectual property and innov. Trump started talking about this 30 years ago. You know, companies like China ripping off the US and you know, when it comes to the IP type stuff and then so supporting blockchain cryptocurrency security, you gotta, you can't be a leader if you got holes in your system. AI systems make sure that they are developed and deployed securely and then counter foreign AI platforms that are embedded. Censorship or surveillance. Jeff, this is a huge one right here because this one right here is what we. Is what a lot of other countries is doing. This is what Europe's up to. It's what a lot of organ. I mean a lot of countries censorship and surveillance because they do not have free speech. They have free speech as long as they agree with them. But that's not free speech. Free speech is all speech, including the stuff you don't agree with. And so the big takeaway here is maintaining leadership in AI quantum computing. Emerging tech as viewed as critical to national security and economic competitive. So you see that strain running through where it's all comes down to national security. If any of these get compromised, could could be big issues.
- [27:24]
A
That's right. So policy pillar six build talent and capacity. This is great. Think about chip. All the people that the previous administration brought in, the millions and millions. Do they fit into this talent pool? I'll get your commentary after I read this.
- [27:40]
B
But you know, I think you already know Joe Short.
- [27:44]
A
The short explanation. The US must expand its cyber security workforce and training programs. I agree with that. Got to train the people, right? We got to understand where we're going. Got to get people trained up on that and you're not going to learn that stuff in college right now. Develop pipeline of cyber security professionals. Where are they going to come from? That's a great question. Get some feedback from me on that. Coordinate training across academia, industry and government. Expand technical education and workforce development. Align incentives between public and private sector. Recruit the next generation of cyber experts. Takeaway. Cyber talent is considered a strategic national asset necessary for long term security and innovation. So here's a big question for you, Chip. Is this learned in college? Is this self learned? You know, how. How do we go about that? Because so much of this stuff has been in development right now and, you know, and you've been diving into the AI. Did you have to go to college to learn this AI stuff? As new technology drops, do people go back to college to figure it out?
- [28:50]
B
Well, it's a. I think it's a combination, but I think the technology is changing way too fast when, when it comes to. You can't almost keep up with it. There's so much, I mean, just what the content that gets shared on a weekly basis, the new models that come out, the LLMs, the new, you know, everything's a, everything's AI. But again, where are the guardrails? I mean, what's protecting this from going off the rails? Yeah, you can launch a cloud bot, but what happens when, when you go ahead, launch open claw. And then I've seen people like rescue, you know, AI's resetting their bank, their AI is buying stuff, and AI is doing all kinds of crazy, crazy stuff, so you have to have guardrails. And I think it really comes down to national security. And to answer your question, I think it's a combination of different things, but I don't think the problem with traditional education is almost anything you want to learn something about. It was amazing because, you know, the, the belt on my. My lawnmower broke. The drive belt, you know, it's one of the push lawnmower, but it's got the drive belt on that propels the wheels, makes it easier to go up and down. And I've got a big space to cut. And people go like, why don't you buy a rider mole? I'm like, until I can't do a rider mower. Jeff, the exercise is amazing. I have a lot of hills. It takes me about an hour and a half to two hours. And it's amazing exercise. If it comes to the point where I get a rider, sure, I can get a rider and drink a beer on it, but I think it's really good exercise. And what do I do? Look up one video. What does it say? Oh, you got to take the whole transmission apart. I'm like, what? What are you talking about? Take the whole. And then the second video is like, oh, no, there's a little door here. You just do this, unload this thing, you push up the transmission. Boom. You put the. Take the other belt broke. You put the other belt on, pop it back down, and boom. And all of a sudden, it's like it went from, you know, three hours of work to about. I don't know, it took me about five minutes to. To engineer it. So, again, it's like somebody took the time to figure it out, put it up there. Are you going to teach someone that? I mean, you're a lawn. If you're repairing lawnmowers, okay? It's a very niche type of thing, but this applies to everything. I'm gonna fix something in my truck. I go, boom. I either can fix it or I can. I realize I gotta outsource it to somebody who knows it. But that's why there's always continuing education for every sort of company. I don't care what you're part of, there's some kind of continuing education. Jeff, or whatever you're doing. And learning today is phenomenal. All the stuff I've learned from AI, man, there's just tons of people out there sharing amazing stuff, workflows, how they did it. You know, I'll share. Hey, this. I figured this piece of it out. You know, we share stuff together. Like, hey, this is. I learned that you can do it this way. It's just a different time. We're not learning stuff that's been around for 300 years how to do it. This stuff is changing daily and weekly.
- [31:29]
A
Fast. It's changing so fast. And. And that's the point. I. I even tell my son, you know, that you got to get with AI you got to figure it out. You're not going to learn it in school. The fact that technology is moving at such a rapid pace, what we need are people that understand the basics and understand how to adapt and understand how they can teach themselves. Because, you know, to your point, right now, you can go on YouTube. You have to scour the. The Internet to get data. And if you go to AI, AI doesn't always have all the information, you know, over. Over the past few days, you know, I've become an aquarium expert, and, you know, all this science that goes into running an aquarium. And we got this aquarium, had an ammonia spike, almost lost our big fish. And so I had to move the big fish into a quarantine tank, and I have a little cleaning fish with them to keep the tank clean. So I had to move them into a quarantine tank, and I had to use spring water because I didn't have any water. We had this massive ammonia spike, and the fish almost died. And so now I'm trying to understand like how do I get this back into regulation. I've been trying everything to regulate it. So now I've got to go through the science of it and trying to learn about ammonia. Where's, how does the ammonia, you know, and then there's chemicals that you put in that what every time you do a water change that bind the ammonia doesn't actually get rid of ammonia. And I'm like getting way too in, in depth into something I didn't really want to learn right now I've gone down a rabbit hole like between the, over the past couple days. That's all I've been doing. It's just like constantly like filling, you know, ordering stuff and figuring out the science. And now I've got all these gadgets to, you know, check chemicals and the chemical imbalance. But the thing is, the point with that is that you're constantly learning. You know, you can't stop learning. And so many people think you go to a four year school or you go to college and you're going to have everything you need to know. You really don't even have a foundation unfortunately, you know, so you need people that are disciplined, that can figure out how to, how to keep learning. And I had another conversation with, with Aaron over this, which is studying language. You know, he's studying a language in school, doesn't feel like. And I, I believe that at this point they should have had him at a level of fluency by now. But he's not confident, confident that that's happened and he wants to learn other languages. So look, you got to do it yourself. You know, he was going back and saying, oh, when you're younger it's easier to learn language. I said, yeah, that's true. You absorb it, but you can't stop learning. And you 100% you can become fluent in other languages. You know, I'm proof of that. You know, I've done it, you know, and I've done it multiple times. Learned and lost. It's amazing how fast you can learn language. You can become competent, be able to speak, and if you don't use it, you lose it. But it's amazing, you know, little things, you know, you just got to keep learning. Who said never stop learning? I like that one right there. Never stop learning. That's it.
- [34:30]
B
You got to keep soccer eternal student right there. And Jim D. Says that he uses advanced language models AI to help him compose a the best literary work of his life. AI Freaked out At the final product product field, theology, tri metaphor, multi multi and dendries, indentries, tropes, etc. How did you. I'm much curious what you. Did you train an LLM or did you. Or did you. I'm just curious what you use to. For the advanced language model or you just use something off the shelf or something. But yeah, colleges now have apps identify if a student's using AI chat GBT on their test. They do. But you. You can also figure out ways to beat that. I mean, your AI is as good
- [35:12]
A
as your teach them how to use it.
- [35:14]
B
Yeah, well, the, the problem with younger people doing it is they don't have that critical thinking because, you know, we're. You get a point where you get a little life experience. So like I would say us, you know, people in the chat have a little bit of life experience. You go, okay, that's. And you go like, no, no, that's not what I'm looking. But when you're younger, you don't really know. And then if you're, if you're not using AI as a tool, a research tool, and say, show me the citations. I want to see the exact citations where you're pulling this from and then put the page numbers on there. So if you don't do that, if you're not telling it that you have to check it, man. You just don't take. Okay, now even, even going through this document and creating this, I cross referenced that. I was like, yeah, that's pretty much it. I read through it, read the paragraphs. All it did was take paragraph stuff and kind of just put it into bullet points. There's some redundancy in here, which is good, but I think it all comes back to the same type of thing. But there's. You have to always. The streams AI generated,
- [36:09]
A
it's AI assisted.
- [36:11]
B
I'd be working. It's. It is sometimes AI assisted in many ways. But somebody who brought up this. Somebody brought up the, the, the Clarity act. Anyway, that's. But here's, here's what's interesting. The SAVE act, you know, the SAVE act has got to pass and there's been some maneuvering going on. Unfortunately, every speaker we've had that's been a Republican speaker has been a freaking rhino. I don't know how. They're just, they're owned. They're just the dumbest people ever. You got Thune, who's a complete. Every single time you can count on a. Having that position. 1. It was Mitch McConnell before that. They're just moron rhinos, Republican in name only. But here is senator John Kennedy and what he thinks is going to happen with the SAVE act which is basically locking, you know, you have to have an ID to vote. Imagine everywhere in the world you need ID but not in U S. Democrats say it's, they say it's racist. What it really is is their voter base. At that hearing the other day when, when you had secretary Noman there, she was asked, they were asking her are you going to have, are you going to actually have ICE at the polling places? Well, why would you only, only, you know, legal illegals can't vote. Or can they? Why were they so worried about ICE showing up at polling stations? Because this is their base. They were importing all these voters. You see what happened and what basically what happened in New York City. If you look at the people who were born in New York City, born and bred there their whole entire Life, they were 55, 60% of a candidate. If you look at the foreign borns, there were 70 on Momdami. So the foreign borns who come and relocate. So when you bring in a class of people who are our adversaries, they're not written that they don't care about the United States. They don't care, they want to tear it down. People are like how could they elect them? Because that's the majority who voted for them were foreign born people. They were illegals. There's probably some Tom Fuller in there but here's John Kennedy on the SAVE act and what he thinks might happen with it.
- [38:13]
D
Well, the Senate is notoriously slow. Sometimes it takes us months to get nothing done. But the SAVE act is a priority. I'm a co author John. I agree with everything the President said in his tweet though I haven't seen it. John Thorne has promised to bring the bill to the floor. I don't know when he's going to do that but he is going to do that. I anticipate it will be in the next few weeks. Will it pass? I think so. It just depends. We've got some free range. The Democrats will be against it but we've got some free range chickens on the Republican side and we're going to have to go gather them up.
- [38:54]
B
So to get to 60 though is the thought that this would be a reconciliation bill so you don't have to get to the 60. Is there a single Democrat, are there several Democrats who would vote with you on the save one?
- [39:05]
D
I would do it through reconciliation. We could short circuit all of this. But I'm in a minority. I have chased Senator Phone, my good friend, like he stole Thanksgiving to try to get him to do a reconciliation. This would be perfect for reconciliation.
- [39:24]
B
Okay. I also want to touch on the economy because you heard Senator Warren.
- [39:29]
A
Where does he come up with this? I chased him like he stole Thanksgiving.
- [39:35]
B
Free range. We have a free range chicken. So they're run out there, running around in the yard. I got to chase them down because they're basically, they're basically. It's just a bunch of neutered is what they are, basically.
- [39:46]
A
Old Town, Old Town insane. I could not understand a word out of rhino. Mitch McConnell's mouth speaking on the act on the House floor. That's because the guy shouldn't be there. We've gone past normalcy. You know, they need to remove him, you know, and just free up and vacate that. That spot. It's just, it's such bad form to allow this to continue. It's such a mockery to the people that elect them. Mitch is a Biden's eye vegetable. He's mentally gone. His staff is running things. It'd be easier if he was in the memory ward in Texas.
- [40:20]
B
This is an easy thing to fix. You say, listen, I don't. We don't think he's suitable for office. And this is really Thune's job. Thune says, listen, I'm sorry, you have to go down. You have to take a, you know, a test, you know, to see if you, if you can function. And doctor's gonna say, no, he can't function. Get them out, get a replacement, and they're done. That's what you're supposed to do. And you're not supposed to leave a vegetable in there. It's getting to the point of where it's like, same thing they did a Biden, where the guy didn't know where he was half the time and completely lost. But it's same things with McConnell. Can't stand up, starts short circuiting. But this is really the responsibility of the, of the, the speaker or the, or the, the majority leader in the Senate to actually say, okay, it's time. It's time. You're not. You're not. You're not with us anymore. It's time to get. Go get a test done and the
- [41:09]
A
voters to recall them.
- [41:10]
B
The voter 100. Yeah, it's. It's time. I mean, there's so many. It's just. You can't, you can't continue this Tom Foolery where you got this complete now he's out, you know, he's retiring, he's gone. But he's just going to be a pain in the ass. And so, and then let's transition over to this, this nut job. So when you have a socialist Islamist. And again, what, what elected him was, you know, a lot of foreign born coming in, you know, you start working up majority. The people who are born and bred in New York did not, did not want this guy, okay? So you can't blame it on everybody. But he did win, so he says, you know, there was this big attack, right? So yesterday, listen how he positions this. Jeff. White supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion, which is the governor's mansion. So Gracie Mansion, rooted in bigotry and racism, such hate has no place in New York City. It's an affront to our city's values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use explosive devices and hurt others is not only criminal, it's reprehensible and antithesis of who we are. And he sounds like Obama. It's not who we. It's not who we are. We're not who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women in the New York Police Department who acted in quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran towards danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again, blah, blah, blah, my administration. Okay, now what really happened? Okay, so here's Geiger Capital calling him out. This is insane. Madame calls out first and by name the white supremacist for protesting. But he leaves out the fact there were two Muslim men, Islamists, Amir Bilat and Ibrahim Kumi, who were arrested by the New York Police Department after they yelled Alu Akbar and threw a homemade bomb into the crowd. Now you think that was something that should have been first inside of his. He says violence is never acceptable. Yeah, they threw a homemade bomb and they yelled Alu Akbar. You think anything's weird going on there, Jeff? Like anything we should probably have to know about.
- [43:17]
A
I mean, holy, holy, you probably know, we should probably know that things like that are just getting started.
- [43:25]
B
It's. And you know, there was another dust up there in New York City. Again, we, I've seen two flights. There was a flight from Nashville to, to Fort Lauderdale that had to make an emergency landing Atlanta because you had a guy in there, an Islamist, threatening to blow the plane up. You had another dust up on another flight. I mean, this is starting to become, you know, all the terror cells that were admitted in here with the, with the 15 to 20 million that came in during the Joe Biden administration are starting to take root here, Jeff. I mean, it's exactly what we're seeing here. What do you, what did you think was going to happen? They're already here. It's not something.
- [44:01]
A
Yeah, and those activities, Chip, are meant to sow chaos and uncertainty, you know, and what the media will report, the media will report back and talk about lone wolf incidents and things like that. These aren't lone wolves. At some point they got indoctrinated, you know, and they're part of the agenda. And there's, there's a whole litany of things that have happened in this country and beyond. And they always try to explain it away with the, the lone wolf. And that does, at some point, again, they came in contact, they got indoctrinated and, and this is, and this is their objective. So that should put that to rest. It wasn't, they didn't just wake up one day and be like, hey, you know, I got this great idea. No, something else happened, you know, so we gotta root that out and figure out. Because it's just not compatible. We can't have that in this country. You know, it just, it doesn't fit this country, Jeff.
- [44:56]
B
Speaking of not compatible, this just makes a really good argument right here. I love this dude. Let's watch this.
- [45:01]
E
Sincerely hope that this is the most disgusting story I report on in 2026, but I doubt it. In Pakistan, a Muslim man kidnapped a 13 year old Christian girl named Maria. He held her captive for six months, graped her, forced her to convert to Islam and forced her to marry him. When her father reported the abduction, the Sharia court ruled in favor of granting custody to the kidnapper.
- [45:26]
A
This is the shit.
- [45:27]
E
I mean, when I say that Islam is not compatible with the civilized world. This dude kidnapped a 13 year old girl, kept her for six months, forced her to convert to Islam, married her and proceeded to have his way with a 13 year old girl. And then the court decided that her husband should keep custody. Imagine being this father. Imagine being a father who lost his 13 year old daughter to this depraved lunatic. Then you're so relieved to find her and then a court tells you, no, the kidnapper gets to keep her. This does not belong in 2026. If you believe in this, you don't belong in 2026.
- [46:14]
A
It's very clear. It's very, very clear. Yeah, I don't, I don't know where the disconnect Is, I don't know where these social media, you know, quasi fake maga, conservative fake Christians, you know, come out and they, and they're going out and, and defending all this stuff, you know, and it just, it's, it's mind boggling to me. It's just this, there's such a disconnect right now and, and thank God, you know, we're able to see through it and people see through it and people are stepping up and, and really doing what's, what's right. You know, I'm glad to see, you know, voices like that.
- [46:56]
B
But it's not, it's not compatible and it's like, it's, I mean, we're seeing this stuff happen in the UK of all places. My God, it's, it's getting to be just completely ridiculous. If we, if we trans. Let's go ahead and head over to talk a little bit about Iran here. But in Iran, this is like the number one song, the Trump song. When you hear Trump's voice talk, come on and hear the Khomeini instead. But listen to this. Now. What do you see there, Jeff? You see, you see Iranian flags, you see an Israel flag. You see, I think there's American flag in there somewhere too.
- [47:35]
A
Where is this? There it is. Look at that. That's the real
- [47:50]
B
supremely. Dead over and over again. Love it.
- [48:01]
A
We going to get.
- [48:16]
B
Dead is dead. That was london, right?
- [48:36]
A
Is this london?
- [49:05]
B
Oh my gosh.
- [49:07]
A
It wasn't AI generated. It was. That was real. That was.
- [49:13]
B
I don't think that was AI generated. I don't think it was. Could be though, who knows? You can't tell anymore. Yeah, whatever it is. Doesn't you know whether the song was or whatever and it's Trump's voice, but it was, you know, it's, we're seeing stuff all over the place. It's pretty impressive. I mean, what, what I'm amazed by is you had, you had American soldiers that died in this conflict and who is standing up? Are they having vigils in the United States by Americans, by Democrats, by conservatives? No, look at this. This is in Paris. This is underneath the Eiffel Tower that you got French, Israelis, Iranians, Lebanese come together to dance 2 ymca. That's why I can't play it on here. I mean, I'll show the video, but it's just. They're dancing to, they're dancing to ymca and then you'll see when it spins around, they're standing right at the base of the Eiffel Tower, but they're dancing, they're singing in harmony together. I mean man, you would not expect to see this.
- [50:15]
A
This is, this is what the naysayers don't want to see happen. They don't want to see real peace coming together. The Lebanese people deserve freedom. The Syrian people deserve freedom. Getting liberated from this, you know, this state, from this Islamo fascist state of Iran. The way they move their pieces around and, and funded the military terrorist occupation by Hezbollah in Lebanon and everything that they orchestrated in Syria. This is, this is it right there. And you're seeing the coming together, how they creating an. And you'll have so many people and it really is disgusting to see the level of, of, of misinformation and really just I, I don't want to say naivete and I don't really say stupidity, but I see people, you know, still throwing around, you know, Zionists and Israel and there's all these posts now, you know, that Israel is going to be the big benefactor and they're trying to take over the Middle East. How well have they done over all these years, you know, when they've given up land for peace, like you know, this and any land that, that, like the Sinai Desert for instance, you know that that was land taken through an offensive act against Israel and Egypt lost it because they attacked Israel and they lost it. And then Israel gave up that land in 1980, you know, back to Egypt for peace. You know, and there's all this in.
- [51:46]
B
What do you mean? Even Clinton, what he had, the stuff
- [51:50]
A
that he had on the table and they rejected it. Israel was willing to do anything for peace with their neighbors. And this is just proof positive, right? And, and I know just from traveling around the world and doing business with different people and you know, the conversations that we've had in and around these topics, you know, within the Middle east and, and it's just really interesting because at the end of the day, you know, the, the regional influence, they wanted to get rid of Iran. Iraq was a threat. Iran was the major threat. And, and when those two were at each other's throats, it was different. But now we see this major shift happening, you know, from the UAE to Saudi, you know, across the board to where they want to move in a different direction. They're investing in technology, they're investing in robotics, they're investing in AI. They know the direction that things are moving in. They've got tons of money. They want to be an epicenter for business growth. They don't want to be an Islamo fascist state. Like what Iran was turning into, you know, and so although, you know, you see, you know, some. And so we're starting to see some major changes happening. And you got to embrace that, you know, and the Iranian people, the Persian people are the most amazing people, you know, and, and this is the coexistence that has to happen for peace. And those that have been speaking out against Trump chips are ramble on, you know that, you know that he's getting involved in these endless wars or what? I mean, come on. They don't even understand the game he's playing. They don't understand what he's setting up. They're so stupid, you know, but it's such a brilliant strategic move. Venezuela, Iran, cutting out China, China's influence in the, in the region. China doesn't even know what hit them. Putting China back into a box. And China had to be put in a box. And we talked about the cyber security with the IP infringements, the things that China's done over the past decades to steal our property rights for everything. And all this that they've replicated and duplicated right down to their electric vehicles and everything. I mean, it's crazy. There's a handful of companies out of China that make some amazing products like super, super high end, that are competitive on a national scale, and all the rest is stolen ip. You know, it's, it's amazing to me. So how do you put them in a box? We're seeing it happen right now.
- [54:14]
B
There's always gonna be good with bad, you know, but if you look at this right here, here's Iranians in Houston, Texas. They held a memorial to honor the fallen American soldiers who fought against the Islamic Republic. And you know, I can't play this one because they play proud to be American. So I can't believe that for it. So they always, instead of just seeing it, but you can just kind of see what's going on there. I mean, look at this. This is phenomenal. They had pictures of all the fallen, which is fantastic. Yet Iranian flags there with flying with, you know, the United States flags. But in Houston, you know, I mean, it's amazing, the outpouring of love and strength. Look at the flowers. Look at the conversation that was happening. This is, it's really, it's, it's very impressive as a people. But Jeff, you mentioned, you know, what happened in Venezuela. Look at how quick that collapsed. Oh, my God. Endless wars. Endless war. In, out diplomatic relations as of this week, diplomatic relations, oil flowing back into the U.S. but the bigger picture, that people are Missing here. Is it really. It really destroyed what happened to think about China and look at what's going on. Yeah, some gas prices have spiked, but they'll come back down. And the very first ship was ushered by the Strait of Hormuz by a, a navy ship. Went through smooth. No issues, no problems. And who's going to be taking care of that? United States. Where's the insurance going to flow from the United States cut off England, London. It's 2% of their entire GDP. It doesn't seem like a lot, but that's just ensuring all these big ships, they were the only game in town, either paid them or, you know, good luck. If something bad happened, you were going to be at, you know, at fault. So you have to love that. I mean, and then if you think about too, the, the what's his name? The. Gosh, what the heck is his name? Here. What am I saying? Find it here. The Crown Prince Reza Pavlavi, who. They've agreed that he would be the interim leader of Iran until they can have hold elections. But listen what he says here. Listen to this.
- [56:17]
A
I went
- [56:20]
B
to Israel two years ago to show that we are the descendants of Cyrus The Great, who 25 centuries ago helped Jewish slaves be freed from the Babylonian government, help them rebuild their temple in Jerusalem. A country that in the Second World War period gave refuge, refuge to Jews escaping the tyranny of Hitler. A country that, unlike this regime, wants to have cordial relationship with the state of Israel and the rest of our neighbors. That's truly amazing. I mean, the fact is, you know, you always meet someone from Iran, they always say they're Persian, right? They'll say Persian because they don't want to be associated with, with the government of Iran. They certainly don't want to take that on. So they'll say, yeah, they're Persian because they are. And that they're not, they're not Muslims. I mean, a lot of this stuff was, was converting and you know, they could, women couldn't wait to take those hijabs off. They're sitting there dancing and, and, and you know, you look at images when the Shah of Iran was there in 79, you look at the images going back to 70s and 60s. They were Western. They were dressing like Western style. And you know, there's some, they're, they're beautiful women over there. I mean, incredible. And they got, they got them all like, you know, covered up maybe because it could actually could be gay. I don't know if it's. Look at this one. Look at this here. Trial of a Pakistani man. Prosecutors accuse him of plotting to assassinate
- [57:55]
F
American political leaders, including President Trump.
- [57:59]
A
He says Iran was behind it all.
- [58:02]
F
Alexis McAdams is outside the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse in New York City. Alexis? Hi, Harris. Yeah, an interesting case that really not a lot of viewers knew about when it happened in 2024, because President Trump was out on the campaign trail and there was so much going on and so many other threats. But that's when police say a Sif Merchant came here from Pakistan because he says Iranian leadership told him to said, hunt down President Trump, hire a couple of guys that can take him out at a political rally. So take a look here on your screen. This is who we're talking about.
- [58:30]
A
About.
- [58:30]
F
He's sitting there inside of that Brooklyn federal courthouse right now as those closing arguments are underway. 47 years old, he's facing federal terrorism charges and could spend the rest of his life behind bars. Merchant testified Harris in his own federal trial. And he explained this. Making this drawing again that he said Iranian leaders gave him back in 2024 really doesn't look like there's much to it. It looks like, you know, like a kid drew it or something. But that's the sketch of a rally site. Merchant was arrested just one day before Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, and later told the Feds that he believed Iran was behind that attack because it was so similar to the plan that they gave him. Kind of get up in an elevated place, go to a rally, and create all this chaos so the gunman can get away. Merchant says Iran wants revenge for the killing of their top military leader, Qasem Soleimani, and threatens threats continue as the US Just bombed Iran and took out its ayatollah. So we're expecting even more threats here, possibly on the homeland, according to the Feds.
- [59:29]
B
Well, this is what Trump said. He was asked point blank. He was on Air Force One. He said, they tried twice to take me out. Took them out first. So this whole narrative that we're bowing down at Israel's feed and it's Israel's war and this, this and that, there's so much more at stake for the United States on a larger scale. They want to take out Trump. I mean, you can see that those are tied back. You got here as a Pakistani man who was also arrested. Of course, the reason you don't hear about it in the media is because that doesn't fit the narrative, Right? This whole idea of, like, enforcing the fact that, yeah, there's a reason that they're they're going after Ron. But all of these people you mentioned, Jeff, all these, if you will, supposedly they're conservative, like the Hodge twins and Tucker Carlson and all these, you know, Megan, all of them are just. I don't know what happened to him, man. They just got off on a, On a strange tangent, but, I mean, so far from reality, it's bizarre.
- [60:29]
A
It's really, it's really bizarre to see what they're grasping. And then for them to come out anti Trump and they're so adamant that they know what they're talking about. You know, Tucker, maybe Tucker, out of all of them, was probably the most researched, but I don't even know if that's the case. You know, I don't know. You know, where he got, you know, we'd have dig in a little bit. You know, he read teleprompters and gave opinions on. On teleprompter Fed information. So, you know, as you start connecting the dots, not sure. I don't know, you know, not. I never liked him. You know, I, I was never a fan of his to begin with. Never really. Tucker.
- [61:09]
B
Tucker.
- [61:09]
A
You know, a lot of people are like big fans. He started his career, I think, on. In cnn.
- [61:14]
B
Yeah. He used to do point counterpoint.
- [61:16]
A
Right. And. And those are, you know, I like those types of shows. Kind of like Hannity and Combs. I like the Hannity and Combs show because I like the back and forth, you know, dialogue. I always thought that was a lot of fun.
- [61:28]
B
It was like Combs. It's like fighting a guy with no arms or legs. That's how it was with Combs. He's just the dumbest guy ever. It was just so sad, though.
- [61:35]
A
But he was a shock jock. He wasn't. He wasn't like deep into politics.
- [61:40]
B
Yeah, he was. He was just so useless. He couldn't even make a counter argument, which is very in, you know, it's kind of how the Democrat thing goes. But, you know, look at what's going on over there with, with the uk Jeff, read this. This is one of Trump's statements. But just read this. Check this out.
- [61:59]
A
This is probably one of the greatest statements ever that.
- [62:02]
B
That church, other than Starmers. No, Churchill. Yeah.
- [62:07]
A
Oh, my God, the United Kingdom. This is coming from Trump. He posted on Truth Social here. So the United Kingdom, our once great ally, maybe the greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's okay, Prime Minister Starmer. We don't need them any longer, but we will Remember, we don't need people to join wars after we've already won. President Donald J. Trump.
- [62:36]
B
This is fantastic, Jeff. I mean, he's been made such an ass on the world stage. And the funny thing, I just read something today that they contacted him 17 days before they went in. Now how could the US have contacted him 17 days if they went in, if Israel told them when to go in? This is like why it's so easily provable. But Jeff, this guy crushes it on such a level. Just guy John Connery, he says we had a good thing, Britain, we had a really good thing. You taught us the game, Mahan studied you. We just wrote a bigger checks. The, the deal was simple. We spend the trillions, fight the hard wars. We even let you sit out in Vietnam. And you, you hold the choke points you already own. You run Lloyd's of London, ships in the narrows, insurance in the halls. That's all you had to do. We, we would have had your back. We would back your interest with the strongest military and financial markets in the world. That was the deal. Now look at you. You gave up Arden. Fine. You gave up Diego Garcia so we could reach it with bombers. Now you're giving that away too, to a Chinese client state. You built Israel to guard Suez. Now your foreign secretary threatens it to arrest their prime minister. You built a military base to back it up. Iran hit your base in cyber Cyprus. You didn't even have one warship in the Mediterranean. Spain got there first. Spain, Socialist Spain, leftist Spain. You gave up Hong Kong, but back Taiwan. Now you're letting China build the largest embassy in Europe on top of London's fiber optic cables. We gave you five eyes. You gave Beijing signet platform in the heart of the city Gibraltar, 300 years. Actual sieges. Now the Spanish run your border checks. You lost South Africa, but you kept the falkland so we could overfly the Magellan Strait. Argentina could probably take that with rowboats today. Your king kept ownership of the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand navies to fill the gaps. Those navies are a laughing stock. Your warship and bombers patrolled the GIA gap. Now you don't have enough, but you would also don't want us buying Greenland. Fine, you do it with what you gave London. This is, what is this here? This? I don't even know what this is. International Maritime organization to regulate shipping. You back the EU agenda to carbon tax every ship and build a woke u N. Slush fund. Iran closed Hormuz in the 80s. 540 ships got hit. Lloyd's never blinked because your navy was there. Now Lloyd's cancels because it isn't. You scrapped your only amphibious ships, sold them to Brazil. You have more admirals than warships. You built two light carriers, but they keep springing leaks, and you don't have enough escort ships to support them. The English Channel. Stop. Napoleon stopped Hitler. Now you can't even stop rubber dinghies. Oh. You had one job. Have the warships. Diplomatic backbone. Insurance to support shipping through the straits. That's it. That's all we asked. You blew it. Choke point by choke point. You called it progress. Now hundreds of ships are stuck in the Persian Gulf and the world is blaming the United States. But that's okay. All these solar panels you bought from China will keep you warm in that dreary weather, I guess.
- [65:52]
A
Oh, my God.
- [65:54]
B
That's just an assault, Jeff. There's so many.
- [65:57]
A
That's so much there.
- [65:59]
B
That's an assault, Jeff. Read this. This is a shorter one, Jeff, but read this one. This one's by David Collier. Look at this.
- [66:05]
A
That was. That was just perfect. We refused to help the U. S. Fight Iran when Iran had been attacking the UK The UK for decades. Our government sees our national flag as a symbol of hate. Our campuses are so overrun with Islamism, the UAE won't even send its kids here. But hey, let's pretend Trump is the problem and that's it. The groups that Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt don't allow are allowed into the West. Not just allowed in the west, but allowed to run for parliamentary positions in England. And we're seeing the same thing popping up here in the US where they let these organizations without backtracking. They don't try to connect dots. You know, people are just, you know, naive. We just want to. People just want to live right in the United States. People want to go. They want to watch hockey, they want to go watch football, they want to watch basketball. They don't want to get into the intrigue of where people came from. They don't want to back, you know, do any back research on where these organs. So they want to take everything at front at face value. These guys coming from over there understand very well that that's how we want to live here. And so they take advantage of it. And people are being, you know, you know, fed, you know, a whole bunch of bs, you know, and. And now it's, you know, it's time to wake up. We. That's why crypto, blockchain power, everything that's happening, you've got to connect in the geopolitics if you don't see all these pieces being moved around, then your investment, you might as well not be invested in crypto. Might as well take it out of the, out of the crypto markets, take it out of all markets because you got to get a good gauge of, of what's happening. You know, I mean it's, it's amazing
- [67:49]
B
to me, but there's never Roy Singham too. I saw some people connecting the dots and where the money came from. So the money's flowing out so it can come back in, you know, from outside of the US Public enemy number one, I would agree with that. It's amazing. Remember the Iran number one. Remember the Iron Chic?
- [68:08]
A
Iron Chic.
- [68:09]
B
Remember the Irish World Wrestling? Yeah, that was funny. But look at this right here. So this is it. This stuff is resonating big time inside the uk. I've seen so many reports on it that they're freaking out over there of what Starmer is doing. But listen what they, what they think the next step is. Go listen this guy.
- [68:26]
C
I agree with that. And I was certainly one of those who argued even before Trump became President that his relationship with, with Keir Starmer would not, would not work out well. And in my view, there is an ocean apart between President Trump and, and Keir Starmer. There are completely different types of leader. In fact, Keir Starmer is not even a leader at all. In fact, I think Keir Starmer is really a clown on the world stage. And President Trump views Keir Starmer as a fair weather friend, somebody who has really betrayed, I think the trust that the United States has placed in the United Kingdom. And I do think the special relationship is now at its lowest point since the suez crisis of 1956. And Keira Starmer destroys everything in its path, frankly. And also Keir Starmer's Chavos surrender deal is a huge knife in the back for the United States. It's a pro China deal. It undermines America and also undermines of course the United Kingdom as well. And fortunately, Keir Starmer has also torpedoed the Chagos surrender deal with which I think is dead in the water now. And it's hard to see how this relationship can actually move, move forward. And I do anticipate that, you know, Kirsten will be out of office actually within a few, within a few weeks.
- [69:51]
G
Interesting. So you're predicting a much earlier exit than some for the Prime Minister. I guess the. Niall, the difficulty is for Labour is what candidates do they have sitting in their cabinet, because I guess when I Look at them. Ed Miliband, Angela Rayner, sort of the sort of front runners here. Which, which of those would repair this special relationship? Because to me it doesn't seem like any of them would also quite match or, or be favorite favorable with inside the Labour Party at least to work closely with this President of the United States who as you said, does love the United Kingdom. He's confessed that love openly very much, many times. He talks about his mother in the last stepping down of the Prime Minister he prefaced all of that was saying my mother was from the United Kingdom, I love that country, but this is a disaster. And he said, you know that the Prime Ministers know Winston Churchill. We don't have a Winston Churchill currently sitting in the government, do we?
- [70:44]
B
That's the problem. No, no.
- [70:46]
C
In fact I think Alex, they're all useless really in terms of the contenders to take over from the worst kestarment. I mean they're all as bad as Keir Starmer, if not even worse. And if you think about someone like Angela Rainer as the next Prime Minister, I'm sure it'd be an absolute disaster. She's another Trump hating far left wing socialist. And I think that the entire Labour government actually is rotten to the core and I look forward to the moment when this government is thrown out of office and hopefully we'll have an early general election to make that happen. And clearly in Washington I think there is zero confidence whatsoever actually in Keir Starmer or in anyone who follows him as Labour leader. And I do think the Trump presidency is looking forward to a post Labor Britain likely headed by Nigel Farage and reform that they can actually work with closely because this Labour government really is impossible to work with on many issues actually. It's a fundamentally, I think anti American regime in power that hates the Trump presidency. And frankly I think Keir Starmer
- [72:05]
B
hates
- [72:05]
C
the British people as well in many respects. Look at the Chago Surrender deal. It is a fundamentally anti American and anti British deal that Kyosh Starmer has pushed forward. This is a Prime Minister full of, you know, self loathing towards his own country actually. And I can't wait for this horrible labor government to be booted out of office because they are causing immense damage at home and abroad. How much longer can the British people survive under this absolutely horrific socialist government that has about 15% support, right?
- [72:38]
B
Yeah. 15% support. That sounds just phenomenal, doesn't it? It's actually phenomenal. And I used to really think Nigel Farage but he, to me he's like what we Call a rhino over here. Just like he. He's like, you can't deport everybody. You gotta do. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's the wrong. That's not. You've learned nothing from Trump. You have to deport as many as you possibly can because you're not gonna. You're not gonna save it, Jeff. It's not gonna happen. You got to get rid of them. It's a. It's a. It's a hundred percent. I love the fact that this guy. Every once in a while you'll see somebody just in a local community, it shows up as their local council meeting and just has iron balls and doesn't take anything like this is gonna be. I'm gonna warn. There's gonna be some language here. But I just love when somebody gets up there and says exactly what they want to say and exercise their free speech. Check this out, Jeff.
- [73:31]
H
You let her talk about a non budget issue first. Something to do with robotics or some such shit. Anyhow, I wanted to talk first before I talk about budget items. The fact that you denied a disabled veteran access to this meeting this evening because she didn't have a copy of her driver's license on her. She gave date of birth. She was willing to have the police department run her for warrants, background checks, ncic, sex offender website, all that other great stuff. So you actually denied access to this disabled veteran this evening because she didn't have a contact copy of her Maryland driver's license on her. I think that's repugnant. I think you people are actually.
- [74:04]
B
Why these are the Democrats, by the way, that don't they think it's racist if you have to show up and vote with that. But they a meeting which is meaningless, right? Just people speaking their voice to the. You know, the local council here I.
- [74:16]
H
We have a constitution is to restrain you sons of the way that you guys violate our First Amendment, Fourth Amendment civil rights and 14th Amendment civil rights by treating people differently based on their viewpoint. So anyway, I really don't have much to say about the budget. I actually have a legislative prayer. So I'm going to form my statement in the form of a prayer. Dear Lord, please give this board full of morons the wisdom to spend less money on denying veterans access to public meetings and citizens access to public meetings and spend more money on disabled children and children. Children that need it. Please Lord, allow these morons to stop giving all of our money to stupid LGTBQ plus programs and pushing the transgender agenda on our students. Please Lord. Give these idiots.
- [75:07]
D
Mr. Porter.
- [75:08]
H
A clue. Mr. Porter, I'm sorry. Are you interrupting my. My prayer?
- [75:11]
B
Sir, the clock has stopped.
- [75:14]
H
For what?
- [75:15]
E
For what?
- [75:15]
B
Asked before about the decorum in this.
- [75:17]
H
I'm sorry. My prayer is not subject to your approval. Mr. Rose, I'm just warning you. It's a legislative prayer. It's protected by the First Amendment.
- [75:24]
B
May continue, but you're.
- [75:25]
H
I'm going to continue with my prayers.
- [75:27]
B
Continue.
- [75:28]
H
May God have mercy on Dean Rose's soul. He obviously doesn't have one. Dear Lord, please protect our children from these monsters who are trying to convert all of them into being transgender. Dear Lord, please protect our students from mass shooters who all tend to be transgender. And dear Lord, please allow these worthless to stop pushing transgender ideology on children.
- [75:53]
B
Mr. Porter, you're done.
- [75:54]
C
Thank you.
- [75:54]
H
I'm sorry. Appreciate my speech.
- [75:56]
B
Off. Yep, you're done.
- [75:57]
H
You stop my prayer because you didn't approve of the words in the prayer.
- [76:00]
A
Violation of our policy.
- [76:01]
H
What policy do you have on prayer?
- [76:03]
B
Thank you.
- [76:04]
H
What policy do you have?
- [76:05]
A
A policy.
- [76:05]
H
What words are illegal? You didn't provide a list of words you didn't provide a list of words that I can't say before the meeting starts.
- [76:14]
B
Away from the podium, please.
- [76:15]
H
No, because it's my turn to speak. It's my time to speak. You didn't tell me what words I couldn't say. You didn't say queer dice, motherfucker, worthless piece of sucker, commie status pig, worthless sellout to the people, traitor to the Constitution, violator of civil rights for that of veterans and average everyday Americans. You are pig. Sir, could you have a whole. You lose your election.
- [76:42]
B
Excuse me, everyone, please.
- [76:44]
H
Oh, I. I didn't finish my speech. Oh, I appreciate it.
- [76:48]
B
I didn't.
- [76:49]
H
I didn't finish. I was in the middle of a prayer asking you to leave. You are not required to leave. You requiring me to leave? Are you threatening to arrest me if I don't leave the podium and don't finish my. My prayer here? I'm asking you to leave. Okay, great. Escort me that way because my shit's over there. Pip, squeak, go.
- [77:03]
B
Pip, squeak. Look, when he starts yelling all the words. I'm sorry, man. This is just years of bottled up stuff, Jeff. It's just, you know, people. People have had it.
- [77:13]
A
Jim say bad taste, swearing in a prayer. And I would say, you know, from that perspective, but I think his point, and also in terms of, you know, the fact that they're trying to regulate his speech, whereas they try to regulate everybody else's speech, you know, it'd be nice. Hey, you're going to do a prayer. But the point got across and there they are trying to regulate what he's saying. And apparently in prayer, they didn't tell him what he can't say. You know, well, he's just, he put
- [77:42]
B
it behind a prayer because now you're, now you're infringing on his. His rights as a religion. So. But Jeff, this is kind of weird. Somebody caught this on camera. This is the kind of. Since the Air Force and the Navy have been decimated.
- [77:58]
A
Yeah.
- [77:59]
B
And she's laughing already. Inside of Iran. Look at this. They got the magic carpets out. Jeff. Look at this. Guys in a magic carpet firing a weapon. Look at this. Right up against. F 14 and 16 on a magic carpet. It's horrible. It's crazy, man. Who would have thought that could happen? That's crazy. Okay, I believe that is AI Mark Smithson.
- [78:30]
A
You think so?
- [78:33]
B
The magic carpet ride, that was. You have to love it. And Mr. Beast is running a new contest. You want to see what his new contest is? Yeah, yeah, Mr. Beast, you know, I know Mr. Beast. He's the most famous YouTuber out there, but he's, he always runs all kinds of challenges. This one's weird though. I gotta be honest with you. I was surprised with this one.
- [78:50]
H
I brought 30 of the dumbest Instagram influencers in the world to Dubai. But instead of chocolate, we have a very different surprise for them.
- [79:05]
B
There's Bibi. Ladies, your new challenge.
- [79:10]
A
Escape Dubai.
- [79:21]
B
Dresses, high heels. Uhoh.
- [79:36]
A
Oh my God. Who comes up for this stuff?
- [79:38]
B
I don't know. I don't know, man. Escape Dubai. That was a rug pull right there. Rug pull. Aladdin. Aladdin. Fighting on the thing you got. Yeah, it's crazy, Jeff. I mean, it's really insanely crazy what's going on out there.
- [80:00]
A
So let's watch.
- [80:03]
B
What are you gonna do?
- [80:05]
A
All of their IQ tests came back negative.
- [80:08]
B
That's about the size of it. I'm like on top of you're dealing with 68 IQ on average. So that's not helping any matters much, you know, you're not gonna, you can't educate. Educate yourself out of this situation. Not if you have somebody, you know, we considered mentally retarded in the United States.
- [80:25]
A
That's it. I swear. I'm saying the new Iranian Navy will have glass bottom boats so they can see the old Iranian Navy at the bottom of the ocean there.
- [80:36]
B
I love it, suckers. I love it, suckers.
- [80:44]
A
Epstein, next to Mr. Beast.
- [80:47]
B
So I did. I Was gonna see if anyone caught that. That was Epstein. Yeah, they had Epstein in the. That was too. I was surprised. Nobody said. I was checking the comments, see if anybody noticed that I'd been pointing that out. But yeah, I started. But this Mr. Beast, imagine, that's like a real competition. And you knew something was like. When I watched that, I go, honestly, I really thought it was real. I was like, I was like, I didn't catch it. I was like, oh, it's Mr. Beast Got a new comp. Like, I was listening. He goes, we brought some of the dumbest influence. I'm like, okay, that's not Mr. That's. That's not real. Because, you know, you're playing it, you're kind of like loosely paying attention to it. Like, what is this? What is this new competition? Because he's always dreaming up all kinds of weird. So I was like, oh, what is this new thing? You know, I was like, oh my God, it's brilliant. It must be something cool. I mean, he must be doing something. But yeah, it's. And then, you know, the fallout from Jesse Jackson's funeral, man. I mean, Jesse Jackson Jr. Just unloaded.
- [81:37]
A
He.
- [81:37]
B
I saw this clip today where he said that three u. S. Presidents did not know who Jesse Jackson was. And you know, he told them, don't bring politics into this. He said, everyone is welcome here. Whether you're democrat or republican, whether you're a conservative or a liberal, whether you're a left or right. Don't bring your politics. Obama gets up there, starts up the politics, you know, non stop, you know, Clinton politics, Biden. It was like non stop with the politics. And it's like, you know, the funny thing is like, you look at the. For the two times that Jesse Jackson ran. It was funny because I remember 1984, I was in college at the time. And I remember going to one of Jesse Jackson's rallies. I went in there, it was in the middle of square in. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And I remember going there and. But you know, who funded his campaign? Majority of it was Trump. Both times he ran. But that's never mentioned, right? It's like, you know, remember Trump the racist? The racist Trump, you know that guy. And you know, they were. They still remain good friends. I mean, they remain good friends. Also when he needed, you know, some office space, Trump donated office space. You know, I mean, it's like Trump did a lot for Schumer also. Schumer, he always gave him to his election campaign, always gave him tons of money. Like how Schumer Treats him now. You know, he was always helping Schumer get reelected. I mean, because, you know, Trump was a Democrat at one point, just like most of the people on the Trump administration were. You know, a lot of them were, were Democrats. So look, that's. Look at that. Trump's not invited to the Obama library opening in June. That is still the weirdest library I've ever seen in my. It's cool. It's like you're doing a movie on dystopian prisons or like, you know, you could build. You could take that and build a whole city around it. You would think that's real, like out of the future. Because it's so. Yeah. Bizarre looking.
- [83:28]
A
Then who cares? Would want to go.
- [83:32]
B
That was she. That was sheep. She kept Epstein. The Man Show. Remember the Man Show. Jimmy Kimmel and the other guy. Adam. Adam, by the way, if you want to create a great book, it's like, I gotta tell you, one of the best. I actually, I started reading the book, but then I listened to the audiobook. It's a great audiobook. Let me see, what's it called? Not. I'm trying to find it here. There it is. It's really one of the funniest. It's. Laugh out Loud. And if you look at his, like his, his, his upbringing was really. Yeah, this is it right here. Let's see.
- [84:25]
A
As well.
- [84:26]
B
It won't let me. Yeah, this is it. Here, let me just put up on screen. But he. This, this, I. This is probably one of the funniest books I've ever read or, you know, listened to. This is the one he wrote. It's like Adam Corolla, not Taco Bell material. That's a great story from a dump with a dirt lawn. A hero. But it's all. It kind of just, you know, talks about his, his early days and like, he's really, really poor family man. Like just really brutally, brutally rough. Talks about, talks about he can get a job. He actually lost a job at Taco Bell because I said, I'm sorry, you're not Taco Bell material. I'm like, you're not Taco Bell material. There's not a lot of avenues you can go down.
- [85:06]
A
You know, you go after that.
- [85:07]
B
I mean, you know, what do you. What's your next step at that point? Right. Holy. But remember. So there you go.
- [85:16]
A
To down the beers.
- [85:19]
B
What's that?
- [85:21]
A
The old guy on the show that would down the beer.
- [85:25]
B
I don't remember that one.
- [85:27]
A
The Man Show.
- [85:30]
B
I don't remember that. I remember the girls on the trampolines. Girls and trampolines. I remember all the little, the little skits I used to do and stuff, you know.
- [85:37]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [85:38]
B
Next up, the man show. Stuff you can't even get away with now.
- [85:43]
A
Can you imagine having a show like that now? It's like, come on.
- [85:46]
B
Yeah. Well, anyway, that's all the time we got, guys. You want to take us out here? Jeff and I'll go ahead. Hit the, hit the buzzer here.
- [85:52]
A
That's it. What's today?
- [85:55]
B
Today is Sunday night.

A
We'll be back Wednesday at 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time. Guys, today. Glad we're able to get through everything, Chip. And we will check you guys out on the next one. Wednesday, 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
