Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on, everyone? What's going on, Chip? What's going on on the Chain? Family out there. You know where you are. You know that thing. Give a quick shout out where you're tuning in from tonight. We are going to dig in, dive in. Trump, xrp, the coming crypto revolution. We got to get into geopolitics because there was a hundred billion dollars that's gone missing. Apparently Ukraine thought it was a grant, but it really isn't. What's really happening out there with all that money that moved around over the past four years and most of it disappeared. There's a lot of wealthy Democrats.
Chip
Sure. And Republicans.
Jeff
And Republicans. And the XRP ETF getting ready to come in and the SEC canceling all the big lawsuits against crypto. Lots and lots of good news.
Chip
Exciting stuff. Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain. On the Chain. Welcome to Chad. Chad, who will be at the Quantum Summit hanging out with Jeff and I, which is going to be awesome. That's coming up soon. I'll throw that up here real quick. I'll just talk a little bit about that. But where is it? I had it all queued up and who knows what happened to it. That's how a word thing works when you go live. Here it is. Here it is. I got it right here. So that's going to be great. We're going to meet, get to meet in person. Always love to meet people in person. It's. It's great. You guys know who we are. And we're like, who the hell are you? I'm like, yeah, okay, so. But here it is right here. We're going to be there. And I just found out today that Jeff and I are going to be on stage with the senator. So that's gonna be pretty cool. So that's gonna be pretty awesome indeed. So we'll be doing that whole thing. It'd be fantastic. Tickets, guys. Get your tickets you always wanted to do. You said you wanted to. There we go. Get tickets. I'll throw this in here, but let's go, guys. But it's going to be happening coming up on March 8th and 9th in Cape Canaveral. Easy to get to almost anywhere in Florida. You can just. If you're in Orlando, I think it's like an hour drive, you know, east and then South Florida. I think it's two and a half, three hours tops a drive. If you're northern Florida, it's, you know, it's even Jacksonville, you know, easy to get to Tampa, you know, maybe an hour and a half, two hours, but it's easy to get to. Ticket prices are pretty reasonable, but we'd love to see you guys there. Who's coming? Let us know. Ray Run. Coming. He's coming down from sc, South Carolina.
Jeff
Going to do that.
Chip
If it'll be a yeti. Can it be sent to a Coinbase Wallet? No, it cannot be. No, just get your. Get a Zombie wallet and fund it with some xrp. It's easy. It's, you know, easy enough to get. Yeah, we can't get it. That doesn't work. That's. That doesn't. That wallet doesn't work with XRP Cafe. It doesn't. So. But I would just get a zombie wallet. So you just go, go to. If you. If you're on Apple, just go to the. The App Store. And if you're on. If you're on Google, if you're on, you know, on Android, then you can go to the Google Play Store and you can get it. But it looks like. Just like that, Zaman. But then you have to make sure you fund it. So if you have a Coinbase wallet, you have some XRP in it. All you have to do is send a few XRP over there. I think you need at least five or ten, whatever it is, throw that over there and then you'll be ready. But you can probably do it in the next five minutes. It's not tough to do. Bobby. So good. Good question. But yeah, if you want to do that, go ahead and take care of that as well. Phoenix, starboard bouncing through. Hey, you can't stay, but we'll watch later. Good to see you, Phoenix. That's great. Always good to hear you kind of pop in here. Even if you guys are, like listening in the background. It's nice just to check in. Hey, I'm here. I'm listening. I'm in the middle of something. I'm gonna bounce out. Just came in to say hi. Whatever.
Jeff
Because I'm in Dot app.
Chip
Yeah. Because I know. There you go. Is that what it is, Jeff?
Jeff
Yep.
Chip
Okay. I don't know if that's it. I just go. You can just go search for zombie. That's how you get to it on a. On a computer.
Jeff
Yep. Where you can share Play Store or the Apple one.
Chip
Yeah, that's usually me. He's just listening. It's nice to know Atlanta values you all. Yay. Yay. Thomas, Brendan. Yay. Yay. So that's coming up soon. It's gonna be. It's gonna be a great time. Looking forward to meeting a lot of people. There's a lot of people that I want to see there, which is exciting. Jeff and I will be there on stage. I know we're gonna be on there with.
Jeff
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Chip
Senator Mark Fincham, who's an Arizona senator. So it'll be really exciting. Things are being put together. Really going to your lip to go look at that. I love that listening. And that's all you really need to do is listen in. Sometimes you need the visual to understand what it is. Even if we play a video, most of the time you know what we're talking about, but once in a while you cannot. You're like, what the hell these guys talking about?
Jeff
What you talking about?
Chip
What are you talking about? What are you saying? What do you. What do you mean? What's going on? So I wanted to. I want to talk a little bit about this here. This is interesting. XRP Highlander sent this to me and it's our old pal Jeff. It's an old pal of the show. Original OG we. He's in the early days of the podcast. We had him on a laws Matthew Linney L I N Y We had him on the podcast often, but he put up this post and he was always a good deep diver. He still is. I just sometimes with. With all the clutter on X, you don't get to see everything. But he said xrp, the SEC Sunshine act, securities and Exchange Commission meetings, time and date 2pm on Thursday, February 27th. The majority discussion is XRP related matters. And so he had posted, you know, the time and a little bit about it and some screenshots. And then I went in there and asked him if he had the link. And of course he did have the link because that's how he is. He always rolls with. With with receipts. But if you look through there, we'll go through the document. I'll actually search through the document, but you can kind of see. We'll read a little bit here of it and see here. Yeah, let me go through the document. Where is the doc? Here it is right here. So this is it. It's on govinfo.gov this is the Federal Register, volume 90. Monday, February 24, 2025. And if you just do a little XRP search in here, you'll see it comes up 200172 times. Self regulatory organization statement of the terms of substance of the proposed rule change. Talks about here. Proposed rule change to list and Trade shares of Bitwise XRP ETF the trust under BZ X Rule 114. And then as we kind of go through here it talks a little bit more about the Commission recently issued orders granting approval for proposals to list Bitcoin other or ether based commodity trust shares and Bitcoin based ether based and a combination of Bitcoin and ether based trust issued receipts. The proposed is to hold a Bitcoin and or Ether respectively instead of XRP talks about that gets into XRP is a digital asset created and transmitted through the operations XRP ledger goes out to talk about a whole history of what XRP is here and I'm gonna have to really cook through here. There's a lot of stuff but you can see unlike proof of work which require massive computational power to secure the network, the consensus based algorithm utilized by the ledger XRP ledger is extremely lightweight in terms of energy usage and it relies on trusted validators rather than the mining. So the XRP ledger can handle up to 1500 transactions per second far more than the Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchain. This makes XRP ledger suitable for high volume use cases such as cross border payments. Lastly, because validators do not need to spend resources on mining, transaction fees are relatively low, typically a fraction of a cent per transaction. So it's a big document that goes through a lot of different things and we'll talk about the way Matthew Linney was looking at this but you can see it's all in throughout this document. 172 times it comes up. It's a long read. We're not going to read through it all but thought we'd share this with you because it's kind of interesting and off the beaten path. And Matthew always did really good research and he was saying it's looking like this is what he was hypothesizing saying it's looking like XRP and digital assets are the way to compete with the City of London Forex market. They control 30% of the global trade. They still siphon off the American taxpayer in their colonies. I think this new administration is trying for once and succeed from the crown. And then here he said remember that the City of London is its own entity, not part of the country of England and look how much it makes for itself. And so he just did this little overview. City London generates billions of pounds in economic output each year. It's a major center for foreign exchange trading, better known as forex. The economic output City of London generates over 97 billion in economic 97 billion pounds in economic output annually. The City of London contributes to the UK economy by generating £1.2 billion in business rates. And the City of London accounts for one in every five financial service jobs in Great Britain. It's pretty amazing, the Forex trading. London's a major center for the foreign exchange trading. London handles a large portion of global currency transactions. It's the center for foreign banks. Around 180 foreign banks or branches in the actual London City and UK has 38 of the global total foreign exchange turnover. Amazing. Top three currency pairs and trading volume are the Euro to US Dollar, the the British Pound to the US Dollar and USD to Japan Yen. So thoughts on this, Jeff?
Jeff
Pretty interesting going on in the uk. What's going on in the uk?
Chip
Well, I'm going to say the city. I mean the City of London is its own. It's like the. The Vatican. It's in Italy, but it's its own entity. Doesn't adhere to any of the, you know, the. It's almost like its own little country. It's siphoned off. And we've heard a lot of weird things over the years about that itself. So that's pretty interesting to see what all that looks like.
Jeff
So I. Frozen.
Chip
Yeah, you are. I thought you were deep in thought.
Jeff
I am deep in thought. Unmoving. Deep in thought. I'm looking at myself.
Chip
I thought you're reading something off like your phone or your notes or something. I was like, she's just really concentrating right now.
Jeff
I was looking at. I was looking to see. I was trying to set up the XRP Cafe to pick the thing and then I look up and I was frozen. I'm like, I'm not unfreezing. I might have to exit out and come back. I'm totally frozen. Just completely frozen.
Chip
Dean Robinson, hang with my new.
Jeff
Hear me.
Chip
I do hear you, man. Yeah.
Jeff
Quantum Summit.
Chip
Dean Robbins says hanging with my new Canadian friends who just did the XRP deep dive. Awesome. Yes, they won the hockey game, but it took two games to win one of the best players in the world. Good for them. You know, I was happy. Have a lot of Canadian. A lot of Canadian friends. And listen, they deserved it. They won. I mean, it was a great game and they have the best players in the world. So what are you gonna say? You're still frozen. Even I see you in the green room. Frozen weird. What's going on? Blue lotus. Blue lotus. Deep fake. Got him. Yeah. Jeff. Frozen rant. Charles coming in from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. That's right, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Question. I've heard the tax season next week in March will affect the price of crypto. I don't know how, how that'll affect the price of crypto or in March. Well, I've heard things. People have like been mentioning dates but that hasn't changed since the beginning of time. All we've heard about are these dates that fourth. It's like oh, in March 4th or March 12th or March, whatever. I've heard all kinds of weird dates that then something's supposed to happen and you know, sometimes they go by and something, nothing, sometimes nothing happens. But possibility is always there. It always could be there. So who knows? We don't know. But anyway, I thought this was a pretty, pretty interesting stuff. What else we got here in the grab bag? Let me look up here and see what we have. I hope Jeff comes back in. I could be doing a solo show here. This persists. I'm thinking he probably, if I had to guess, my thought is he probably went ahead and. And rebooted his computer. Also wanted to show this. This is exciting because the the wave of innovation. Gold Coast Australia. Early bird tickets are officially live. That's right. Super exciting times are ahead. I can't wait to see the brilliant minds all coming together. It's gonna be a lot of great folks there. I can play this little kid dancing, super excited about what's coming up with the wave of innovation. I cannot play the music because it is copywritten and we will get officially flagged. But there you go, the official excited about the. It's. It's a Rick James tune, I will say that. And yeah, so exclusive access to. To global speakers, cutting edge insights, premium NETWORKING. There's a 10 right now discount going on. Platinum, gold and silver passes, limited time only. This is the Gold Coast Australia which is coming up the beginning of May. And yeah, that is the link here. Let me see, where's the link? Here it is right here. Yep, here's the tickets right here. I will throw this up. I will throw a pause. I'll put this in here. There we go. Jeff and I will be there. So there's the event tickets, the early bird sale. You get 10 off and there we have it. So you can see that there's something for everybody. For all budgets, you know there's a platinum, the gold pass, this is a us around Australian dollar and the silver pass. And then of course there's a two day pass for 375. There's also a welcome party you can add so you get the two day pass. With this. Still pretty affordable. Super affordable. And then the after party over here for. Oh, there you are, Jeff.
Jeff
I had to reboot.
Chip
I figured you had to reboot.
Jeff
Something was conflicting.
Chip
Yeah, something like that. And then there's the after party. 250. So there's a welcome party that happens on that Friday night which Jeff and I will be at. Then there's an after party that happens that Sunday night when, when it concludes. So it's basically Saturday and Sunday. There's a reception on Friday which will be great. There'll be a little bit of a buffet there, drinks, music, and then the after party. But the two day pass here gets you in this general mission gets you into all the main events, the, the exhibitors, drinks, morning and afternoon tea and there's also a buffet that's which was quite good last year, Jeff. It was pretty impressive.
Jeff
That was awesome.
Chip
And there you have it.
Jeff
Yep. So by the way, if you want to put into perspective, that's like 270 or $238 for the two day pass. But, but another way to look at it, it's like 92XRP to go to 2 day pass. There's 92XRP and it's going to be action packed.
Chip
I mean the, the sessions are great. So there'll be some panel discussions, there'll be some keynote discussions. It moves pretty well. Really exciting stuff. I mean it was really great to be part of it. Jeff and I are super excited to be back again this year. MC in it and it's going to be bigger and, and it's going to be wider. So we're going to go a lot of stuff and Ripple is one, a major part, I mean major sponsor. So Ripple's gonna be there as well. We don't know who's been confirmed they'll be speaking from Ripple yet. But as we know, we'll let you guys know. But that's going to be pretty cool. So guys, you have two chances to come see us now in Australians. Australia is a haul for somebody in the U.S. although we did have a bunch of people from the US there last year. So it was kind of cool that we had our, our. Yeah, we had a U.S. contingency there. And then also for the upcoming Quantum Summit which comes up on the 8th and 9th of March, which will be in the, in the Cape, Cape Canaveral. That's going to be a great thing too. So Jeff and I will be up on stage and speaking at that as well. So looking forward to having you guys come. You can Come to Florida. There you go. If you can't come to Florida, and then for all our Aussie fans, what is going on? How are you guys not all jumping on this opportunity? I want to hear from our Aussie, you know, family over there. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. I want to hear from you guys. I want to hear what's going on. Are you guys. Are you guys coming to see us or what? I want to hear all you guys chiming in. So that's it. That's the. I thought I'd cover that. While Jeff was taking a little moment there, a little moment to reboot, to read.
Jeff
I'm trying to find a. A good video to put up so we can kind of show some of the event that took place.
Chip
It's very cool. I think it's on the tickets page. There's a good video. I think there's one right here. I thought I saw one. Here it is.
Jeff
Yeah, I'm over on. Here we go. I'm on YouTube.
Chip
I have it here.
Jeff
Oh, this one's even better.
Chip
I have. I have the.
Jeff
I get this. Speaking. This one.
Chip
I can play this one.
Jeff
Jeff, here, I'm gonna put. Did you hear me?
Chip
I hear you.
Jeff
I'm not. I haven't put it up yet.
Chip
There you go. Is this the one you're gonna play?
Jeff
No, I got a whole different one.
C
25 unpacked. Choose your the future with our unique.
Jeff
I got a good one.
C
Platinum, gold, silver, general and social. Each designed to provide an unforgettable experience tailored to your interests and goals.
Jeff
This one actually shows what we did.
C
Let's start with the platinum ticket. This isn't just an entry pass. It's a passport to an exclusive.
Chip
Okay, you want to. You want to throw up what you have there, Jeff?
Jeff
Yeah, let me throw this up. This is a lot of fun. This was from last year. We're not gonna play all 30 minutes, but we can do a little bit of an intro just so you guys can see the level of professionalism that went into putting this whole thing together and how great everybody did, you know, organizing, but here we go. Let me play this. We're going to invite a few guests up here on the stage, and we're going to do a rapid fire series of questions, kind of get to know some of our speakers today. Before we get started, we should introduce ourselves. I'm Jeff. Jeff with on the chain.
Chip
There you go.
Jeff
All right, let's.
Chip
Let's start.
Jeff
We're going to introduce, in no particular order here, but crypto. Eddie, come up on the stage. All right, that was fun. We kind of fast forward through. That was like a whole segment. I was hoping there'd be some, you know, but just to kind of get an idea, you know, everyone that. That attends. And just the way it was organized and orchestrated, I thought was really great.
Chip
It was fantastic. Yeah, it was great. It was great doing moderating the panels as well. So I had a lot of fun doing. Just the moderation up there was fantastic. So really good just in getting to know. And also for us to get to know everybody as well is good. There's a lot of people. We were, you know, having a, you know, fanboy moment over, so it was great.
Jeff
That's right. Look at that. Bobby set up the Zaman wallet. Went right there. Boom. Quick and easy, ready to go for the drawing. So remember, we're doing a drawing for a badass yeti here in a little bit. So this is very cool that Bobby already got signed up with this. That's how easy it is. Move a little bit of xrp, and then Bobby, if you take it, make it even easier. Then go to XRP Cafe, and then you can actually connect your wallet to the XRP Cafe. So if you win, it's an easy transfer. I mean, you can do it right on the Zaman wallet. You can receive and accept it as well, but it makes it really nice. You just go to XRP Cafe, you connect your Zaman wallet, then you can see all the different NFTs that you have that are through XRP Cafe. But check this out. Laura was saying, do you think the gold audit by Elon will be the means by which they have the excuse to tokenize the gold on the blockchain?
Chip
That's an interesting thought, but I hope they have the gold to be able to tokenize it first. That's what I'm hoping. So that would be the first order of business to make sure that gold actually exists. But, yeah, tokenization is probably common. I mean, you know, listen, he's. We. We've heard from Trump. He's floated a lot about the Federal Reserve. He's floated a lot about the IRS going that way. You know, he's got the. He's got the internal and the External Revenue Service, but, you know, he's talking about, you can't have a golden age with enslavement with the irs and also the Federal Reserve. Just can't happen. Jeff, I want to show this real quick, but this was the, uh. This was the folks from Ripple right there. So Ripple had a booth There last year as well. So it was really cool. People coming in. So sort of blockchain backers. He blockchain backer. There I am. So it was really fantastic.
Jeff
Gold Coast.
Chip
There's my Gold Coast. And there you are. Blockchain backer up on stage. It was really great. Let's see. This is good. Let's see if we can put this up here.
C
Conference in the Royal Bonoa Ballroom.
Chip
Oh, no, they don't have yet. It's just. There's John Deaton, there's Jay from Spend the Bits. Yeah, just fantastic. Was a good time. Good time had by all. Fantastic. So, yeah, it's a, it's. And what I love about this too is I should point out the fact that it's. This is a non for profit. You know, most of the time when these are put on, it's to make money. This is not all of the people that are involved in this, the crew, it's all volunteering. They do it because they want to bring this. They want to have this event in Australia. And that says a lot about the organizers because it's a lot of work to put this together.
Jeff
Huge amount of work. Huge amount.
Chip
It's huge. It's huge.
Jeff
Huge.
Chip
So it's the 2nd through the 4th of May and it'll be at the RAC ACV, same place we had it last year, which is going to be. It's an awesome, man.
Jeff
Very cool venue.
Chip
The venue is fantastic. Really, really enjoyed the hell out of it. Yep, really enjoyed the hell out of it. So, yeah, let's see what else we can get to here. Jeff, what else can we get to?
Jeff
Well, I'll tell you where you get to this bad boy. This is who we're going to be giving away later. This is a little prowler, badass Yeti from the White tribe. This guy's really cool. I love the little prowlers because they're kind of unexpected. They're little, they look cuddly but not so much. You don't want to get too close. They might rip your throat out.
Chip
Just saying it looks cuddly, but no.
Jeff
Yeah, but no, not so much. They like to. They're in the underbrush of the woods of the forest. Somewhere at the base of the Himalayas.
Chip
Somewhere in the base of Himalayas. So, Jeff, one of the things we wanted to talk about is, you know, the, you know, this past weekend there was something where all of the governors from all of the, you know, states were invited to go to the White House and they invite them all from the states that 50 governors there, they come, they come, they have a, you know, an event. They meet with the president. The president called out the main governor here, and they had like a little bit of an exchange right here. So this is pretty, pretty, pretty interesting. Here we go. Let's listen in this.
D
TAA has complied immediately, by the way. That's good. But I understand Maine now.
Chip
What, what he's talking about and referring to, about complying the ncaa, which is aa, which is the, the college official sort of like governing body for college sports. And they've complied and the whole thing is not having, you know, only women can compete in women's sports. Right. So you can't have somebody who was not born a woman who can compete. And this is because women have been taken advantage of because men just are built differently and it's, they have a, they have a definitely advantage. So this is what he's put in. He's, he's authored the, an executive order on this. But some people are not compliant. NCAA did, but let's hear about what. Did Maine, Did Maine comply? What's going on with Maine?
D
Well, that's good. But I understand Maine is the Maine here, the governor of Maine. Are you not going to comply with it?
Chip
I'm complying with the state and federal laws.
D
Well, I'm, we are the federal law. Well, you better do it. You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports. So you better, you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any, any federal funding. Every state. Good. I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one. And enjoy your life after Governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics.
Jeff
Oh, my God, you gotta love that. You gotta love. Look at everyone sitting there.
Chip
Classic, classic TR.
D
Politics. And enjoy your life after Governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics.
Chip
So there's some other controversy about this as well, because, oh, my goodness, Trump is the king of trolling. I mean, especially when he said, long live the king. Because Governor Hochul had something to say about Trump saying that he was, what does he think he's some kind of king? So he kept posting on True Social. Long live the king. I mean, this is just mastery level type of, of, of trolling. But I'm gonna put this one up right here. Here we go. This is. This is. I don't know if this was intentional. I don't know if he was doing this intentionally, but this is some other controversy that got stirred up about the main.
Jeff
Governor Trump referred to Governor Mills as he or him at least six times in that call.
D
Whatever is going on with him.
Chip
Radical left governor announced the plan already.
D
He wants to resettle 75,000 migrants into Maine. That's only because they told him to do so. He's weak and ineffective and they told.
Jeff
Him to do so.
D
And he's saying, yes, sir, yes, ma'am.
Jeff
I will do it.
Chip
So they're all up in arms about that as well, Jeff. So they were none too happy to see.
Jeff
So funny. It's so funny.
Chip
I want to see the face you make after you realize you just ended your political career. It looks like this, Jeff. That's what it looks like. That's your face. We put that up. It's like, hilarious, man.
Jeff
That's it. That's the end.
Chip
That's it.
Jeff
Oh, my God. Especially. Especially with that. 1500 people are being. Are being let go from the federal government workforce at midnight tonight.
Chip
That is.
Jeff
It's going to be brilliant.
Chip
That's incredible, man. You have to love that. I mean, on so many different levels. I mean, how much can you. And then, you know, the other part of it, too, is you saw the, you saw the post by. By Elon Musk where he said, we sent around an email to all the federal employees and the. And you had to do something so simple, five bullet points on what you accomplished this week and CC your manager.
Jeff
That was it, right?
Chip
That it. That was it. It wasn't like some big, long, weird, you know, you know, things you had approved. Just like, hey, tell me five things you did last week and then CC your manager. So that was a very. Apparently, that got everybody just crazy, man. Everybody went, well.
Jeff
They also said if you don't respond, we'll take that as your resignation.
Chip
They did say that. Yeah. There was a. If you, if you're not going to actually respond, then you're.
Jeff
You're done.
Chip
You're done. Yeah. You're. Sorry, you're done. Yeah, that's. But how many people you actually think are going to respond to that, Jeff? You think that's going to be able to weed people out within itself a.
Jeff
Lot of people out? I think there's a lot of people that. The whole point of them doing it is that these people weren't working then. So even if they respond, they Say this is what they accomplished. Now they go back, say, okay, let's double check, let's start spot checking these people and see if they actually did what they said they did.
Chip
So yeah, you gotta love it. So one of my favorite personalities who also writes for Breitbart, but he has been for the last 10 years, one of my favorite personality is John Nolte and he put this. I thought, this is great. He goes by John Ocasio, Rodham Nolte. You can see that. He said, Elon Musk should send out an email to every federal employee that asks yes or no did you fill out your weekly TPS report? And anyone who answers gets an auto generated email giving them 30 minutes to clear out their desk. That's just too. There you go. There's some office space right there. But yeah, he's funny. If you wanna.
Jeff
So that's so.
Chip
Yeah, he's good, man. I, he, I don't know. He's one of the funniest people I know about, especially when it comes to politics. And funny thing is he writes very, you know, the articles he writes, he writes, he covers a lot of like Hollywood and stuff and. But his stuff is just. It's fantastic. He also said too that he wants to make sure. He also thought this was a good idea. He thought that he wants Elon Musk to require every federal employee to wear at least 15 pieces of flare. So there you go. What movie was that where they were like, how much flair do you have? And they're putting all like the stuff on there. I know Jennifer Aniston was in the movie, but it was like this whole thing about how much flare you were wearing. So yeah, he's. He's got a wicked, wicked sense of humor, man. And I strongly.
Jeff
There he is. There he is. Flatliners. That's crypto.
Chip
Well, Antwerp. Yeah, we got it in the building. He also did this when he said inner stormtrooper outfit. Kamala throws a Nazi salute to the NAACP Image Awards. They gave her an award. I don't know what the award was. They love giving themselves awards. Jeff. I don't know, but she won a word and she got up there and I don't know what she did, but here's another one. This guy Sam Stein said, you know a DHS employee emails requiring Elon's latest. Said not answering that email due with the baby in three days. I'm already having to use sick leave because of the stress. I hope they fire me at this point. I can't wait to sue them. And John Nolte said, well, well, her email to you requesting sick leave be two of her five bullet points. She needs to be fired. Hey, maybe two. Two of the five bullet points that, that she has to include, which could definitely be there, you know, and this.
Jeff
And this is really great.
Chip
Look, this is another one too, because, you know, the emails went out. What did you do last week? Five bullet points. Don Nolte says, I can't think of a single job I've had, including my current one, where I didn't have to in some way put numbers on the board. Board on a daily, weekly basis. Usually daily, sometimes hourly. Welcome to the real world. This is nothing new. Like people flip it out over this stuff, you know, and if you work in sales like Jeff and I do, it's like it is an hourly thing. Sometimes it's like it's non stop. Everything matters. Every number matters. Every interaction matters. And for you to not put five bullet points. Holy cow. But it's another great way to weed people out because who's even checking their email? They're not working, Jeff. Not checking email. That's the best part of it all.
Jeff
They're definitely not working.
Chip
I mean, who's, who's actually working? I don't know if anyone's actually working, but I mean, nobody shows up at these buildings. It's just incredible, dude. I don't even know someone thought this would be a good idea. They said, you know, that I've never seen this before, but somebody built a superman that you can fly around. And somebody said they wanted a Trump version just to be able to go like fly around protests. But I've never seen anything like this. Pretty cool. So it's like a, it's like a life size superman. Like you put a Trump mask on there, a Trump face on there, you can just like buzz and listen to this thing. I actually didn't think this was going to work when I watched this video for the first time. Okay, you ready?
E
Yes.
Jeff
Okay, here we go. Feel the sky. Oh, my God. Awesome.
Chip
Can you imagine a Trump floating around, like flying around and posing like, look at that.
Jeff
If you saw that, how does that thing even work? That's really cool.
Chip
Well, I guess it's got a drone in it, right? It's lightweight. A loop. The loop there, dude. But on the podcast you're watching a full size superman flying around.
Jeff
That is awesome. That is so neat, huh? That's so cool.
Chip
Look at that thing. Obviously it's got a drone in there. Two of them or something.
F
But it's a bird.
Jeff
It's a plane.
Chip
No, I just thought that was.
Jeff
Oh my God, that's awesome.
Chip
That was some funny stuff. Can you imagine that, Jeff? How cool would that be? Be flying around like that? Oh my goodness. That was something really amazing. Let's see what else we have in the grab bag here. We got some other stuff. Let's see. Oh, this, I love this post right here. We've been talking about this for a long time, but sometimes people come to the realization of something. Here it is right here. This is Sadie in North Carolina. She says, I'm beginning to understand why they're fighting so hard to stop Elon. Something is very wrong here. Let's take a look at the lawmaker's salary versus their net worth. We have exactly. Pelosi, her salary is $223,000 a year, which is worth $202 million. Yeah, Mitch McConnell. So she's a Democrat, this is a Republican, Mitch McConnell. His net worth is 95 million on a $200,000 salary. We've got Chuck Schumer here, who's a Democrat, 210,000 salaries worth $75 million. And of course the fake Indian, Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren. 285,000. I don't know why her salary is 285,000. I don't Know if this is correct, but she's worth $67 million. And as I've questioned her as she starts and she's gone crazy on X like she's got a post every hour. It's insane. What, she's going to do this, she's going to do that. I'm like, listen, you're a millionaire. You want the, you want millionaires to pay their fair share. Well, on the IRS form, the first page, there's a little box you can check. It's an election item and you can contribute more. So why don't you, I told her, why don't you lead by example and be the first multi millionaire to actually say that I paid my fair share. Give up half your net worth. But they only like it when it's other people's money. They want other millionaires to do it, not them. Other. Other people are going to do that because they get all the good health benefits, they get all the good stuff. Jeff, it's insane.
Jeff
You really have to question Mitch McConnell.
Chip
Right?
Jeff
Because if you look, if you look at his history, I was looking to say maybe the guy, you know, invented something. Maybe he's a business owner. Maybe he did something, you know, he did, he was President of the Student Bar association from, at the University of Kentucky where he graduated in 1967. But he basically so 68 to 70 he worked as chief legislative assistant to a senator in D.C. 71 he worked on Tom Em. Emberton's campaign for governor of Kentucky. 1974 goes back to Washington. He was deputy assistant Attorney general under President Ford in 1977 he's elected as a judge executive which is top political office in Jefferson County. 1985 gets elected to the U.S. senate. There's nowhere in there that this guy has earned more than what he's earning right now. Well, it's impossible.
Chip
A lot of it's from China. We know that's been broken down before Jeff, so.
Jeff
Right, but that, but that's the point. You know if you look your infographic, where did the 95 million dollar net worth come from? Salary 200,000 by far is probably the highest salary he's ever had. And, and he's been in Senate since 1985. 1985 and that's it. And he wasn't earning 200000 back in 1985. So where, where, where does it, where's this net worth come from? How many book deals does he have? I don't see anything about book deals here. Let me see here, let me keep reading.
Chip
That calls him Glitch McConnell because remember he glitches, I call him McConnell. McConnell. So his father in law is the CEO of China's second largest sipping company. No compromise there. Yeah, nothing to look at there. You got Charles says nothing. 285 to 67 million selling corn starch, buffalo meat. I don't know what she was selling. She was, she was doing something. Yeah, I think Pocahontas are on the same. SSRIs shacking nervously which is why they talk. Yeah, of course, listen. They're going to trace it. There's $4 trillion missing. They don't know where the payments went. There's another 3 trillion. Think about 7 trillion. You think about that money could have easily reduced our, our deficit by $7 trillion. A good portion of it or almost a $40 trillion. It could have brought it down. And this money's missing. Well, we kind of know where it is. So when you talk about breaking the deep state, when you talk about breaking the, the globalists, all that money was being funneled into all over the world. They were printing money and giving it to everybody. Now they're not going to have the money to do anything. They're going to collapse. And now the, you start Hearing things like Joy Reid and msnbc. Her show is probably canceled is what we're hearing. Because people realize that once, especially once RFK Jr. Cancels the pharma ads, which he says he's gonna be done. Yeah, it's like 60, 70% of their budget. So they don't, and they don't have the slush funds anymore. So you're just going to see a lot of them just crumble. They're not going to have the, to be the paid protesters anymore that they're going to be able to pay and bus in from different locations. It's essentially over. So. And that's why there's, I mean who in their right mind would complain about an agency that gets rid of government waste? I mean like that's the wrong, that's the wrong battle of my opinion. Here's one here. Look at this, Jeff. You got Aaron Rupar, he says Trump. We even got rid of people like Pete Buttigieg who did the worst job of anybody in the history of transportation. What a bunch of losers. And then some guy in Midas touch says, well, Pete Buttigieg was transportation secretary. Commercial planes weren't falling out of the sky. Oh really? Well, sometimes you got to bring the receipts. And here they are. Look at this. This is, this is 2025. So if you look at this is the NTSB. These are all of the flight accidents going back to 2007, all categorized in 24. They're 80 versus in January. Of 24 there were 80 accidents versus 62 in January, in 2024 in February. There are 93 versus 26 so far in February and so on and so forth. But people don't like facts, Jeff. They just think, oh, why are these accidents happening? What's Trump doing? Because he fired everybody and he's doing this has nothing to do with it. And the numbers are actually lower if you by comparison so far, right?
Jeff
That's right.
Chip
It's ridiculous.
Jeff
So Mitch McConnell got $45,000 for his memoir the Long Game that Was back May 2016. That's all he, that's what he earned. Let's see. The Kentucky Republican financial disclosure report for next year likely will include further payments since the book was published May of 2016. But that was, that was the big one. Democrat Cory Booker got 400, 000 in royalties from his best selling book. And then you have Rand Paul made 200, 000 in royalties. We have Rubio had made a hundred thousand. Ted Cruz had made 476, 000. And that the big one here. Elizabeth Warren earned the most. The Massachusetts Democrat received 625, 000 payment from publisher Henry Holt and Company. Warren's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether this was related to her 2014 memoir, A Fighting Chance, or if it was a new book. But that, that's how it is. That's how it goes. You see, you know, money kind of moving around. Some cases people are actually buying these books. Other cases, probably not. Someone's buying them. That's how they get to be best sellers. They just go straight to the top of the list.
Chip
Yeah. And then, and then here's, here's Adam Schiff, if you want to see throughout the years, lying through his teeth. And the funny part about this video and you, when you watch it, watch how the media, who's supposed to be in the tank for the left, tries to really get some answers out of him, really tries to hold him fire. Like, what proof do you have? And listen to how, listen to how shifty, shifty shift is here.
G
Would you admit it's a circum all.
Chip
What's up? Did you see, Jeff, you say something?
G
It's a circum. All you have right now is a circumstantial case. Actually, no, Chuck, I can tell you that the case is more, more than that, and I can't go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now. So again, I think so. You have seen direct evidence of collusion. I don't want to go into specifics, but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation.
C
So there has been a report from CNN that Wednesday night that there that the FBI was looking into collusion with the Russians in the Trump campaign in terms of spreading information about Hillary Clinton's campaign. Do you have any information to back that up?
G
I'm not sure that I can comment on that. I can't say that I think that the investigation that the director talked about at our Monday hearing is justified. I think there is a sufficient basis for that investigation not only to have been initiated, but for to continue at this point. And I don't have a concern with other members characterizing the evidence as they have. And many of them have said they think there's no evidence of collusion. My disagreement with those members is I don't think that's accurate, and I feel an obligation to say so. So they can call it a fishing expedition, they can call it a witch Hunt, it's all an aligned message with the White House, but nonetheless, real evidence is coming forward that just can't be ignored. So we do know a lot more. I think the claims that there was no evidence of collusion have long since fallen away. The question now is what is the quantum of proof here? Christopher Steele may have found out even before our own intelligence agencies that the Russians were in fact aiming to help Donald Trump in the election. That has now been borne out by ample evidence. I think you see the most palpable evidence of a collusion in terms of violating the Logan Act. I don't think you can seriously argue, argue that the Russians weren't trying to help Trump and hurt Clinton as well as so discord in the United States. The evidence is quite overwhelming on this. It was the early conclusion of the intelligence community, but that's only been furthered by all of the evidence we've seen in our investigation and put out a.
C
Statement and a report basically saying that.
G
They found no evidence of collusion between.
Chip
The Trump team and the Russian government. Have Democrats found any evidence of collusion?
G
Yes, we have.
C
Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion, coordination or conspiracy that has been presented thus far between the Trump campaign and Russia?
G
No, I don't agree with that at all. I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight. That it is very possible that the best evidence is yet to come. But look, you can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion. George, is ample evidence of collusion of the campaign.
C
And it's the Senate intel chairman also said at this point, no evidence of collusion at this point. Have you seen, do you have direct evidence of collusion with Russia?
G
Well, I think there is direct evidence while there is abundant evidence of collusion. But as I've said along, there's plenty of evidence of collusion. And you've said on this show and others that there is direct evidence of collusion. Were you right wrong about that now that you've seen the summary of the Tesla Council's report? No, because they were saying no collusion.
H
You've been saying that on TV for years.
G
Well, I will tell you and we, and I've also been saying, as you know, that the evidence is in plain sight.
Chip
It's in plain sight, Jeff. Three years of just pure lion through his teeth. There was no evidence.
Jeff
Go to jail.
Chip
Instead of, and instead of saying, you know what, we the evidence and pan out the way we expected because the report is pretty accurate. However, you know, we wouldn't want to go to. He can say something like that. But no, he doubles down on old horse. There's collusion and even the liberal media trying to get an answer out of him.
Jeff
That's crazy. Mike was asking, he has a big order, wants to put a big order of coffee. And one of them, he just wants a roasted beans.
Chip
Correct.
Jeff
Do you normally order them pre ground or do you order the whole bean? That's the question. You can order them as whole bean.
Chip
Yeah, you can order the whole bean. That's a good question though, because that's generally how Jeff and I order it. So I'll show you, let's say, let's go to the website here, pull that up.
Jeff
Then we'll, we'll pull Rob's thing up.
Chip
We'Ll pull it up here and we'll show you what it looks like. Guys, type in yeti. We got nine so far. Type in yeti. So yeah, so let's say the obsidian bold here. If I want to click on this, you see right there, you can check, you can choose whole bean, you can get a coarse ground, you can get a fine ground, drip ground, whatever. But it's, it's the whole bean is what you want to collect. So if you select whole bean, you'll just get just the bean. So make sure you select the style you want.
Jeff
I like eating those. The obsidian bowl roasted beans, you just eat them right out of the bag, man. It's, they're nice. It has a nice nutty flavor. I like it.
Chip
It tells you right here, like what's the best style? You know these tough guys of coffee world, Pure, unbroken, full of untapped potential. Drip coffee. We prefer to call it a flavor rain. This isn't about the grind, it's all about the journey. They got the fine ground like high speed thrill seekers of the coffee grind world. Then of course you got the coarse ground. Think rugged. These are the big yeti tracks or the coffee grinds kingdom for those brew methods that aren't in a rush like a lazy Sunday fresh press or maybe a chilled out cold brew. So there's some even notes on what you should get, but just select the whole bean. You got it. You'll get your whole bean. So there it is, Jim D Way lately coming in. My God, Jim D. Are you still at the piano bar over there? The jazz bar. Probably listen to some good jazz. Might be. Why. But that's okay. So that's what it has.
Jeff
If you got that IKEA worker. I went looking through it in the keep. I couldn't find it.
Chip
I have the IKEA worker video. Yeah, I can play that one. We'll maybe. Maybe we'll take that one out. That's the best.
Jeff
Yeah, that was one of the best. And Rob said, what do you guys think about the 1.5, Bill? That was a big hack that was very detrimental to cryptobit. All sides point to little rocket Man. Cyber hackers. Someone's getting extra bowl of rice. And a peach. And a peach.
Chip
Fantastic. Oh, interesting. What's there to say about it, man? I mean, it's like, it's, it's, it's horrific.
Jeff
That was brutal.
Chip
You know, it's. It's horrible for everybody involved. It's not even. It's not good, man. I mean, what are you gonna do? It's not a good thing. It's not a good thing at all. Hang on a second, let me see if I have it in the keep here. And like.
Jeff
Chad Adam Schiff was hospitalized with second and three degree burns after his pants spontaneously burst into flames.
Chip
Yeah, it's too much, man.
Jeff
It's very funny.
Chip
It's too much. That dude is just too freaking much. Let's see what else we have here. Oh, I thought this would be good to play. This would be good. Since we were talking about the Federal Reserve and everything, this video came up on my. If you smash the likes, baby.
Jeff
If you want a yeti, smash the likes.
Chip
Smash the likes. Come on already, let's go. This was popped up in my feed. I thought it was interesting. Let's listen in.
E
Kennedy was short circuiting the new world order. He had ordered the printing of constitutional money, United States notes, which would have destroyed the Federal Reserve, which is not an agency of the United States States government.
Chip
So just to tell you this is. This guy's name is Bill. What's his name? Bill. Bill Cooper. This was. This is from 1992. Okay? It's over 30 years ago. Listen, it's amazing how on point he is.
E
Which is not an agency of the United States government. It's a private corporation owned and operated by the world bankers, controlled by the Illuminati. And its purpose was to destroy the middle class in this country and thus, thus our economy. You see it unfolding now. You are seeing, and I predicted this well in advance. You are seeing the destruction of the economy of the United States. And it will continue, it will not get better downhill from here on out unless we nationalize the Federal Reserve, lock up the criminals who own it, cancel the debt, which will then bankrupt the Illuminati. Which is exactly what we ought to do. Print constitutional money which cannot be usurped, which cannot lead to our destruction and go back to what we're supposed to do and quit contracting for benefits. We're escaping from the laws of nature. And there's a terrible consequence for that. You can't contract for somebody else to keep you alive. You have to be responsible, possible within your life to keep yourself alive. And if you can't do it, then you have to die. That's the law of nature.
Chip
They are.
Jeff
That's interesting.
Chip
A little bit over the top maybe. But from. From 92. Holy cow. 33 years ago, man. Amazing. Simply amazing. This guy right here, he's got a message for Elon Musk and Doge. Listen how Medicare is being ripped off. This is a Medicaid.
F
My wife and I own this pharmacy and we're a cost plus pharmacy, which means that we don't take insurance. We just charge the price of the medication plus $10. This medication is called imatinib and it costs us $7 to buy. We add $10. So you're out the door, $17 with your cancer medication. When Medicare pays for this drug, however, it costs them $2,400. This drug was filled 250,000 times in one year.
Chip
Do the math on that. 250000 times a 20. That's a crazy amount.
F
For a total of $600 million. So why are they paying this much for that medication? Well, insurance companies pay a middleman, the pharmacy benefits manager. And that person decides how much that medication is going to cost. Will that medication be covered? All of those questions go through the pharmacy benefits manager. And this person doesn't get paid just a flat, flat fee. They get paid a percentage. So their incentivization is to raise the cost of the medication. If every one of those scripts was filled at our pharmacy instead of through Medicare, it would have cost $4 million. That means that we are $596 million cheaper than the insurance. That's crazy. Don't let yourself be overcharged. As bad as Medicare is. Check your prices on forestparkpharmacy.com we have a price checker. You can see everything. Send us a request for medication price if it's not on there and we'll take care of you. See you.
Chip
That's.
Jeff
It's interesting. Think about other in Texas, Fort Worth, Texas.
Chip
What's it called? What's it called? Forest.
Jeff
Forest Park Pharmacy.
Chip
Forest Park Pharmacy. Look at that Fort Worth, Dallas area.
Jeff
But it. What's really cool when you have a, a compounding pharmacy. So if you think about over the past couple years the Democrat pharma machine has been under the guise of the fda, has been coming after compounding pharmacies. Compounding pharmacies will manufacture, use high end quality ingredient as long as you use the right one. But they'll typically use high end, good quality ingredient to mix and sometimes custom mix whatever. You know, the pharmaceutical might be that they can do a generic version of something like what these guys are doing and delivering it at such a low price point. But there's so many different things that had been blocked, like peptides and other things that were blocked by the FDA that were helping people and you'd get them through these compounding pharmacies. If you think about even like Ivermectin and other things like that that were being made available through these compounding pharmacies and then it got shut down. You know, bait and, and they tried to outlaw or ban it in many different places. Obviously if you try to go like to a CVS or a Walgreens, they wouldn't fill Ivermectin, you know, during, you know, the, the crazy period of time. That's another one. Yeah. Then Bendazole. Yeah, I mean there's a whole bunch of them that, and it's, you know, we look at like this semaglutides, you know, all these different things that you can get in here. And there's the compounding and it, things are about to shift dramatically. You know, I mean we're, we're so hyper focused on the economics of it. But Chip, you mentioned it earlier in terms of what's about to happen with rfk because one of the things that he talks about doing is making it illegal for these pharma companies to put their commercials on every day, every night. And I don't, I don't, typically I don't watch tv, so I'm not hearing these. But if you do sit down and watch tv, it's like, it's disgusting. It's just one after another after another after another. You can't get through, you know, even a newscast, whatever it is, but it's, they're just, you know, poisoning the minds of people. And so you look at the side effect, they don't care what happens to you. You know, they just want to get their money. But once that get a spigot gets cut off, it's all he brings up. The insurance companies, Medicare and all these, it's all a way to move money around think about what about the 2008 crash and who did they bail out? Too big to fail. And then they go after, you know, they went after the banks, they go out, they saved the mortgage company or the insurance companies, the automotive, you know, the government's always coming in to bail out these big guys. But then you see why, because there's billions of dollars that are cycling around and right now with the USAID getting cut off, that was one of the slush fund routes. FTAX was another slush found fund route. How they moved money around and they just keep finding one after another. U.S. aid. That to me, you know, that was a big bonus. You know, the fact that Elon Musk is there digging in. But the benefactor to everything that's about to happen are the people, you know, thank God for, for what's HAP about to come come to fruition. Because the other thing that RFK is going to do, he's going to allow all these other things. The FDA has been slow walking. If you go to Europe, go over to Germany and see what types of medicines that are available over in Germany, what types of treatments are available in Germany and Japan, or you go down based on, you know, if you want to look at, you know, stem cell treatments, you know, here, if you say stem cell, that's already a bad word, you're already going to get blocked, you know, but you can derive stem cell from bone marrow, from adipose fat. You can get prp. You, you. There's so many great things that are inside your body that you can, that you can take out, process and, and re. Inject back into your own body when you, you know, when you, when you concentrate it. But you go overseas, go to like a Germany or Japan or whatever, they can culture it so they can take stem cells out of your body. Let's say it was a hundred thousand, they can culture it and turn it into millions and then they can re inject it back in. But the FDA in the US if you take it out of your body and you get your stem cells, culture it and you magnify it, they look at that as a pharmaceutical. And now it's regulated based on being a pharmaceutical. And you can't use that and put it back in your own body. And so those are the things I believe we're going to start seeing major shifts like that.
Chip
Well, from benzenol, so my mom got leukemia and she got on fenbenzanol. Her platelet count got to nine. She was taking, she was doing double transfers of platelets at nine. After fenbenzanol being on there for like three months, her platelet count rose over 260. And her doctor, I told her, I said, listen, whatever you do, do not tell your doctor that you're on this because he'll stop seeing you, you'll need, you still need medical attention. And he was. Thought he, he had some miracle. I said, however, other people doing, you know, his patients and they're dying, that's what. How they're doing. So this stuff works. Obviously we've seen, you know, Jeff and I both taken ivermectin and we had a compounding pharmacy at that time because they wouldn't fill it in regular pharmacy. So it's just, it's insanely. It's. I think, I think the guy. The thing about, I will say about Bobby Kennedy Jr. Is the guy, I don't have to agree with his politics, but he's passionate about making America healthy again. And he, his whole, his whole world's been about seeing that. He was a, he was a litigator and an attorney for a long time. So he saw the, the effects of, you know, of, of people getting hurt over year over year. And so what I think what he's going to do if he's, you know, allowed, you know, if he can, if he can do what he wants to do, I think it's going to be a huge benefit. So there's just a lot of winning basically all over the place. Yeah.
Jeff
And he hasn't even started yet and we haven't even seen like the beginning stages. It's gonna be pretty impressive.
Chip
Flatliner streams. Thank you for that. Gifted one on the chain, Live membership. Appreciate that support. That is very.
Jeff
Oh, nice. Sweet.
Chip
Very cool. I want to play one last video before we get out of here. Jeff.
Jeff
This, we got to do our drawing too.
Chip
This is from cpac. Let's do the drawing now first. Why don't we do the draw pack was.
Jeff
CPAC was like so spot on.
Chip
God, there's so much, there's so much. There's. We could have done a three hour special on it. It's how good it was if we.
Jeff
Didn'T even talk about the cpac. So this is it right here. This is, this is the bad boy. We're going to do a drawing for right now. This is a little prowler, a badass yetis of the white. The white tribe. And he's in the little, little prowlers clan. So these guys are in the forest dwellers. Don't run into them on a dark night. Or Bright Day if you're in the forest. Just don't run into them. But we're about to do a drawing for that. You guys know the word type in yeti. Make sure you have your Zaman wallet ready to go because when we you win, we need the address. And then boom, we transfer the bad boy over to you.
Chip

Yeah, I'm gonna play this video. This is a guy who is just a random guy Ibbian interviewed at the cpac. And the guy didn't care for this joke and I thought it was just, just guy being funny. So you work for ice?
I
No, no, not at all. No.
Chip
Explain the outfit.
I
It's $29.99 on Amazon. I would recommend buying a small if you're my size. This one's a little too loose for my liking. But yeah, if you want some entertainment, wear this and go to a Home Depot in a sanctuary city like where I live right now, Washington D.C. and you'll see all the illegals, not all of them, but you can maybe see a lot of them start to run away and you feel like a group fitness instructor. It's really good.
Chip
And you actually think that's funny?
I
I think it's hilarious. Absolutely. What's not funny is them illegally.
Jeff
There you have it, everybody.
Chip
One of the worst people I've seen here at CPack and that's saying something. Appreciate it. Of course the liberals, that's just outraged by a little bit of humor there. I mean, my God, what the hell? That's pretty totally, totally out. Totally outrage. Yeah. Come on, you can do it, Ron. You do it. Ron. John. Ron, dude, you can do this.
Jeff
Here we go, Jim D.

They always do that where that last one flashes and then there's a go.
Jeff

Chip

Jeff
That was awesome. Now do you have the IKEA thing? We'll play that on the way out. That'll be sweet.
Chip
Yeah, let me pull that up.
Jeff
That was very funny.
Chip
That is some funny stuff. Yeah, it never gets old. What happens is it comes up my feed. I always have to watch it because it's that good. Let's see. Here it is.
Jeff
There's the inventory.
Chip
Oops. Here we go. This is a comedian, his name is Scott Sice. He's funny as hell. And I'm going to play the video right now. Let's go. Here we go. Let it play through. Here we go, guys.
H
You just lost yourself a customer. You think I own this business? You think I own ikea? I'm a part time employee halfway through a two week notice. I don't give a. I'm telling all my friends not to shop here. Tell them, think I want five other youths running around the store. Have them call me. I'll tell you hate this place more than me. I work here. I know the sale ended last week, but can I still get a discount? Do you hear yourself? Go back. Time marches on. You want the sale from 15 years ago too? When's it end, Diane? With that price, you're gonna have to go through the quantum realm with Ant man. You know how much money I spend here? More than you should. Meatballs ain't that good. Save your money, End my time. Doesn't matter how much you spend here. We don't thank our donors. This isn't pbs. Every time I come here, my order gets messed up. Then stop coming. Make my day. Every time you come here, your order's messed up. Sounds like you're making the mistake. Look in inward. You're ordering the wrong. I'd like to speak to your manager. I'd like to speak to your mother. Tell her she should be embarrassed she raised someone to act like a baby in public. You want to speak to the manager, please? Manager doesn't know what's going on. Haven't you ever worked anywhere before? I know that's not right. I used to work here. Well, things change. Sorry they didn't run it by you.
Chip
First used to work here.
H
Well, I used to be here. Happy? Then you walked in. Can you just check in the back? Can you just accept we don't have it? The back ain't some magical place. What do you think is back there? Santa's workshop. The only thing back there is a clipboard with our schedules and some brownies. Darcy.
Chip
Bro.
H
The website said it was in stock. And what do your eyes say? Sometimes it's wrong. The website also has pictures of employees smiling.
Chip
You see?
H
See that? You go yell at your computer instead of me. It'll get you the same result.
Jeff
Nothing.
H
This is cheaper at other stores than shop there. Why are you here? We need directions. I'll get you some. I'll call you an Uber. Cheaper in other stores. I don't set the prices. I'm a seasonal employee. You working hard or hardly working? I'm hardly laughing. I'm already at work. I don't have time for a second job. Pretending you're funny. Why don't you tell me something I don't hear every day? Like thank you. You should open up more registers. And who's gonna work them? You think I'm the only one ringing you up because I called dibs? You want me to clone myself? You're saying you want to apply? Well, you see, we're short handed. Where's your resume? I can't believe they have you work at Thanksgiving. I can't believe you're shopping. Why do you think I'm here? It's because of you. Hours. So you can yell at me instead of your family? I work retail. I don't even remember what Thanksgiving is. The customer is always right. About what? How to piss me off? Think you're God because you went shopping? You're not infallible, Susan. You're at the mall. Always, right? That's why you're on your ninth. Try hitting the button for credit. Do you have any coupons for me? That's what I ask you. We all have our roles to play. Well, you think you just found a cheat code for the store?
Chip
Oh, yeah.
H
I keep a few hundred percent offs back here for the smart customers. Bring your own. Scan must be free. And you must be out of your mind. I think you're the first person to say that. You're not even the first one today. Don't worry about the scan. I'll type in the product code and charge you double. I swear I fake laugh at this job so much I forget how my real one sounds.
Chip
Me preparing for my shift. 10 minutes before open. Taking deep breaths. Customers banging on the door.
H
You're open for 10 more minutes. I'll be quick. Quickly moving to the exit. This ain't a. We're not playing to the buzzer. The choice to hold a bunch of minimum wage workers hostage or go shopping tomorrow, you chose wrong. Get out.
Chip
What's wrong with me?
H
Do you work here? Obviously, yes. How many people you know wear a name tag recreationally? You think I'm behind the counter because I got lost? Do I work here? No, I'm just dressed like this because I'm going to the midnight premiere of ikea, the movie.
Jeff
Night premier of ikea.
H
Customer. You think I own this business?
Chip
Yeah.
Jeff
Oh, my God. That's the best.
Chip

Chip

The conversation transitions to the broader implications of financial mismanagement within U.S. politics, suggesting that significant funds have been siphoned off over the past four years without clear accountability.
Notable Quote:

They critique the FDA's restrictive regulations that hinder the availability of certain treatments domestically, promoting a shift towards more affordable and accessible healthcare solutions.
