1. The State of Crypto: Is It “Flipping the Switch” Time?

[00:00–15:17]

Key Points:

• Ripple’s Expansion in Brazil:
  Ripple is making waves in Brazil, seeking to provide institutional services from payments to custody, and pursuing a license with the central bank. This hints at deepening cryptofinance adoption.
  Jeff: “At what point does someone flip the switch?” [00:34]

• Crypto’s Rapid Development:
  The industry feels on the brink of a fundamental shift: infrastructure is being built, scammers are returning (a sign of action in the markets), and speculation is rampant about a “switch” being flipped to fully operationalize XRP and others.

• BearableGuy123 and Crypto Enigmas:
  The hosts discuss crypto community memes and riddles (like BearableGuy123), noting how each signals anticipation (or manipulation) in the space.
  Chip: “They just love to troll with the bearable guy, the BG123. At least have a sense of humor. Apparently.” [06:09]

• Crypto Scams on the Rise:
  With increased market movement, scams (especially impersonators on Telegram and Discord) are escalating.
  Chip: “Ripple does not have an official Telegram channel. … Verify opportunities and communications through the official Ripple channels.” [08:17]

• Education as Protection:
  Guests like Chris Dangerfield have promoted education to defend against scams.

---

2. XRPL, Flare, and Real-World Asset (RWA) Innovation

[09:45–15:17]

Key Points:

• Flare’s Ambitions:
  Flare is expanding XRP’s utility—making XRP collateral at scale, and promising to repeat with BTC and other coins, focusing on RWAs and AI.
  Jeff (paraphrasing Hugo Fillion): “Flare is the only project that has successfully turned XRP into collateral at meaningful scale.” [10:00]

• Market Reality Check:
  Despite the ambition, FLR prices are low—“on sale”—with hosts speculating on long-term gains for true builders.
  Chip: “It’s not really about that (price); the more utility, the more builders, you’re talking serious infrastructure.” [12:25]

• Early Market Mania Reflections:
  Discussion of past IOUs and the artificial inflation of prices (e.g., with Songbird and early Flare IOUs).

---

3. Geopolitics, Leadership, and History — The Trump Vault

[15:17–24:40]

Key Points:

• Trump’s Consistency:
  The hosts play a series of Trump interviews and speeches from the 1980s, showing his positions on Iran, foreign policy, and trade have remained constant for 46 years.

  Memorable Quotes:

  • Trump (1980): “Somebody with strong views … wouldn’t necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.” [17:05]
  • Trump (Oprah, 1988): “I do get tired of seeing what’s happening with this country … making other people live like kings and we’re not.” [21:18]
  • Trump: “I don't think I'd lose. If I did decide to do it … I think I'd be inclined, I think I'd have a hell of a chance of winning because people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off.” [22:10]

• Coverage of Trump’s Humanity:
  Through a father’s testimonial (Tyler Simmons’ father), Trump’s personal compassion away from cameras is described, contrasted with Biden’s approach at military funerals.
  Chip: “Behind closed scenes, he’s kind of hard not to like when you really see…” [25:20]

---

4. America’s Political Landscape & Voter Integrity Concerns

[26:20–32:17]

Key Points:

• Voter Rolls and GOP Ineptitude:
  An Illinois GOP candidate blasts the Republican leadership for inaction regarding dirty voter rolls, lack of energetic voter registration, and passive acceptance of mail-in ballots. Republican Candidate: “If I don't see a massive voter registration effort … I know that you are complicit.” [28:20] Chip: “The GOP is notoriously bad. … I tell them, go f yourself.” [28:44]

• Erosion of Election Integrity:
  Frustration is expressed over lack of national standards for election security, especially around mail-in ballots and voter ID.

---

5. AI & The New Industrial Revolution: Jensen Huang’s Take

[32:25–35:05]

Key Points:

• AI & Energy:
  Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang lauds America’s unique advantage—President Trump’s focus on AI and energy, noting economic growth relies on robust, realistic energy policy.
  Huang: “America’s unique advantage … is President Trump. He realized the importance of AI and the importance of energy.” [32:36]

• Economic Fundamentals:
  The U.S. hollowed out its productive “middle” (manufacturing, energy); Huang and the hosts argue a return to basics is needed or the economy “collapses in on itself.”

---

6. Europe’s Decline, Immigration, and Free Speech Erosion

[35:05–55:27]

Key Points:

• Europe’s Weaknesses:
  Countries like Germany, the UK, and Spain are accused of undermining their own sovereignty, energy security, and cultural cohesion via unvetted migration and “woke” policies.

• Leftist Alliances & the Rise of Islam in Politics:
  A British caller asks why left-wing parties obsessively protect and promote Islam, noting new Spanish laws criminalizing criticism of Islam (up to five years in prison). Concerned Citizen: “… you can get five years in prison for mocking Muhammad, but not for Jesus. … How does that work?” [52:54]

• Loss of Free Speech:
  The absence of First Amendment-style protections in Europe is blamed for rising tyranny. Chip: “You don’t have the US Constitution, you don’t have free speech. You don’t have the right to protect yourself against tyranny because tyranny’s taken over.” [54:36]

---

7. Mass Migration, Demographics & Security Threats

Key Points:

• Uncontrolled Migration:
  Hosts argue open borders policies create “perpetual voters” and ultimately undermine social order.
  Jeff: “Why do they build … mega mosques … in areas where there’s no Muslims? It’s all about conquest and coming to take that area.” [56:12]

• Security Risks:
  Iranian missile launches prove London could now be targeted — “zero defense” is a theme.
  Chip: “Britain has zero ability to stop an Iranian ballistic missile if Iran chose to target it.” [59:00]

• Cultural Disrespect:
  The placement of Muslim prayer rugs over a 9/11 firefighter memorial in NYC is experienced as a deliberate humiliation. Chip: “They’re just taunting at this point, Jeff, there’s not even any doubt.” [61:39]

---

8. U.S. Immigration — When the System Works

[64:00–65:39]

Key Point:

• A rare, positive immigration story—self-deportation and legal reentry—illustrates hope for policy and personal responsibility. Chip: “He did the right thing. … He left and he came back in and got to hang out with his kids. … Prayers answered.” [65:00]

---

9. Closing Memes and Americana

[65:39–69:28]

Highlights:

• History & Humor:
  A humorous history meme re-enacts the founding of the US Marines with movie heroes and memes, blending resourcefulness, toughness, and American humor. Donald Trump (voiceover): “The Marines started at a bar in Philly called Tun Tavern … this place was straight fire.” [66:21]

---

Notable Quotes

• Jeff: “Crypto is getting weird again, Jeff.” [06:09]
• Chip: “Protect yourself through education. That’s how you do it.” [09:24]
• Jensen Huang (Nvidia CEO): “America’s unique advantage … is President Trump. He realized the importance of AI and the importance of energy.” [32:36]
• Trump (1980): "Somebody with strong views ... wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile." [17:05]

Throughout, candid frustration with establishment parties, warnings on the consequences of open border policies, and nostalgia for both earlier crypto days and traditional Americana are dominant. They employ humor and memes to lighten the mood, even as they cover weighty topics like war, economics, and identity.

Transcript

[Jeff]

Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on? Chip? What's going on, everybody out there in the on the Chain community? And. All right, tonight we're talking about flipping the switch. Because if you look around right now across crypto, geopolitics and global markets, it really feels like a lot of things are quietly being built behind the scenes. And I'll tell you, Chip Ripple expanding payments in Brazil and positioning itself to serve institutions across payment custody, treasury management and digital assets while pursuing a license with Brazil Central Bank. Huge news. Really amazing stuff. And the question is, at what point does someone flip the switch?

[Chip]

Yeah. And it's what makes this moment really interesting because there's a lot of happening all at once. You have digital asset infrastructure, geopolitical tensions, political shifts, and when you step back and start to see a much bigger picture forming.

[Jeff]

That's right. So we've got a lot to get into tonight. Crypto, geopolitics and their bigger forces shaping the world right now.

[Chip]

You know what time it is? Time for go time. Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain. Where you're coming in from people. Where you coming in from people's occurrence. Great, man. Very good. Awesome. So the movie Hail Mary. Don't know what that movie. Oh, Hail Mary. Yeah, that's the. That's the movie I actually wanted to go see. Like, I haven't wanted to go see a movie in a while.

[Jeff]

And that's like the one that was in the theaters.

[Chip]

Was it any good, though? But don't kill. No spoilers. Just let me know because I wanted to check that movie out. It just looked interesting for once. I like a lot of space movies and it looked pretty good.

[Jeff]

He said, does movie making have no need for scientific research?

[Chip]

No.

[Jeff]

At least sort of theory, it's good or bad?

[Chip]

Well, the scientists said that we can't travel past the speed of light. Well, okay, sure. Because that's what we know right now. Because that's what our knowledge base is. I always laugh at. These experts are like, oh, that's not possible. I'm like, yeah, well, gravity is a concept. It doesn't. It's not proven. It's not a proven theory. Oh, yeah, it works. Yeah, it works Sometimes it doesn't work in every instance. But they're like, oh, but that's what we know. I'm like, okay, well, maybe we should think about things we don't know about. Maybe that there's way more knowledge out there. Yeah, but Einstein proved. Okay, good. Well, that's got to be someone after Einstein. I mean, you know, it's not. Whatever happened to all the smart people? You had Einstein, you had Tesla, you had all these inventors. And like every. You know, seems like everything's kind of gone.

[Jeff]

By the way, he's not way of Elon Musk.

[Chip]

You have Elon Musk and AI that's pretty much how it's gonna go.

[Jeff]

We only have two.

[Chip]

It's pretty much how it's gonna go from here on out. I don't think it's going to get any better than that. I think it's going to be. I always. I'm cautious when I. When I see certain things and certain people doing things. I'm like, Jeff, this is always really funky and weird when you see something like this. But Luke judges. He. He posted this, and I'm just trying to. I don't even know. I'm trying to figure out what it is, actually. But if you look at this image right here, this is Luke judges. He is the middle management in a little bank called Ripple. Says tweets are his own opinion. But if you look at this, Jeff, look. That's barrel guy. One, two, three. Playing with the king of the night. To playing cards a little bit, though. What is this, a. Is this an iPad? It's a tablet. What is this kind of a tablet? But why is it in black and white? It's really odd.

[Jeff]

In Is very. It might be one of those minimalist phones that only do grayscale.

[Chip]

Oh, you. Well, well.

[Jeff]

Or is it like that paper? It's that paper, that digital paper.

[Chip]

Yeah, it's like. It's like those readers for, like, books. Maybe that's what it is because maybe it's one of those Amazon reader books things. So

[Jeff]

Kindles look different. I don't know what that is. What? It's over on the side. Maybe it's not even real. Maybe the whole thing's AI plugs.

[Chip]

I don't know what it is on some kind of a. Looks like a couch or something. Like it's sitting on the couch. I don't know. It's hard to know. But when you see something like this, you know, it's like, well, that's it. There's nothing more to it. Just BG123. And then you see this little guy right here. It's a little rabbit. Try to grab the carrot. You can't grab it. That's like, give you a little kid.

[Jeff]

That's so funny.

[Chip]

Like, he's gonna get it.

[Jeff]

But nobody's thing I've ever seen.

[Chip]

Nope. Give us something. Nope.

[Jeff]

My God.

[Chip]

He just. It's like Charlie Brown and, you know, can't kick the football. You always know it's going to get yanked.

[Jeff]

That carrot. That's freaking awesome.

[Chip]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Then you got this one, so that's definitely AI.

[Chip]

I much more prefer you partying with Seal. Okay. What a bearable guy. Isn't the first bear cartoon named BG who riddled the future? Yeah, this guy connects a lot of dots. Teddy B or Teddy G? B, G. It's so funny, with AI now, everybody's got to do. There's the. Everyone's got to do their own little version of it. There's a Grateful Dead. Then you got the scene in color here.

[Jeff]

And then what are the. What's the picture in the background there?

[Chip]

Well, that's the. That's the one of the Them on the ship.

[Jeff]

Oh, yes, it is.

[Chip]

So somebody said it has cat vibes to it, you know.

[Jeff]

Oh, my God. Great.

[Chip]

There's just no end to this whole thing, man. It's like Elon Musk as a bear. B.G. gary. Who's Gary? Gary. Gary XRP. It's just fantastic. You see all these people, you know. My man, my man.

[Jeff]

Someone said, where do you get one of those?

[Chip]

That's what my dentist says. And he goes, my man, how you doing, my man? How you doing, my man? I'm like, I'm good, my man. How are you? So it's all good.

[Jeff]

What are you driving?

[Chip]

I'm a man. He says, I love it. So there you go. I don't know what that means, Jeff, but it's so funny. They just love to just troll with the. With the bearable guy, the BG123. I at least have a sense of humor. Apparently. That crypto is getting weird again, Jeff. Like, even, like, for a while, we were not touched by the scammers. And all of a sudden, our channels become very exciting again for scammers to say, well, what about this crypto? You don't know about this crypto? Sell all your other crypto. Like, how come the Google AI is the best? You look at Nano Banana, you look at VO3, but they can't figure out the same pattern. That's from 15 years ago.

[Jeff]

Like, nobody posts algorithm the same thing.

[Chip]

I don't know if they want the comments there, if they think they're a good idea, but I'm like, guys, why don't you just deploy the AI in this stuff? Guys are crushing it everywhere else. I mean, Google's just crushing with AI. But I'm like, just deploy that on the freaking comments, man. At least put them into a holding cell where they can just, you know, for moderation. But, you know, make sure you float the. The evil post about us to the top, because those are the most fun to read. We enjoy that. We enjoy reading those posts a lot. My man says. Charles, my man, Pittsburgh's had some good pickups and free agency, dude. My man, they've had some pretty good pickups. But the scams are starting again. This is a sure sign that there's something going on within crypto. Ripple X said they're seeing an increase in personalization accounts on Telegram. Jeff, if you say you have a Telegram account, I just. I deleted the app. I'm like, it's the spammiest spammy app I've ever seen in my life. I will never.

[Jeff]

That, that. And Discord too. I just. I can't take Discord.

[Chip]

This cord is decent, but it's just.

[Jeff]

It's what latched onto my computer. I couldn't get rid of it. I couldn't. It would always pop up when I booted up, removed it from startup files, removed it from everywhere, change the settings, did everything still boots up. So I had to delete it completely off my computer because I couldn't get rid of it.

[Chip]

Jeez. And then they have to go on to say, Ripple does not have an official Telegram channel. Any account claiming as such is not legitimate. Our team will not contact you or provide support through unofficial channels or ask you for personal information. Now, it's sad you have to say this, but you have to say it. Verify opportunities and communications through the official Ripple channels.

[Jeff]

Of course.

[Chip]

Because what's happening, too, is what they're seeing is that, you know, this. I always have people, they're. They're. They claim to be. They claim to be. What do they do? The hey, I've got a job, blah, blah, blah. You know, these. They're a recruiter. They're like a middle person. They're trying to. But they're all scammers. They just reach out to you. Oh, yeah, I saw this. And blah, blah, blah, whatever. But official Careers is right here. The official LinkedIn's here. And then more Ripples channels here. But this is what it looks like. It's just getting ridiculous. 100,000XRP giveaway. It's been going on for years. They impersonate Brad's voice. They use a video. Come on, man. It's getting old.

[Jeff]

And they can't get rid of it.

[Chip]

So there it is right there. Protect yourself through education. That's how you do it.

[Jeff]

We had Chris Dangerfield on and that was a great talk, guys. Got an amazing course, doesn't cost much to go through and gives you some real good tips on, on how to.

[Chip]

There's so many, so many ways scammed out of your money.

[Jeff]

Non stop, non stop, non stop.

[Chip]

Hugo Fillion CEO Founder of Flair Take this one, Jeff.

[Jeff]

I love this. I do love watching Flare FUD reach fever pitch over geopolitical instability. Others, bigger coinbase have tried but Clarity have tried but Flair is the only project that has successfully turned XRP into collateral at meaningful scale. Flair is going to repeat that with BTC and then other coins while at the same time building private computer for RWAs and AI. And you doubt the future. Anon. So this is, this is a really big deal because if you can build, if you can build private for real world asset and AI and so you have kind of a whole outside kind of architecture. I like, I really like what they're doing. I love the ideas, I like the direction they're moving in. I like how they're able to take XRP and, and really build the collateral for the real world asset and everything that's being orchestrated right now with flare and what it means for the, for the ecosystem. There's really nobody else doing anything like that. And look, it takes years. Like people think, oh it can. You know, companies is going to pop up and they're going to have this amazing architecture overnight and then everyone's just going to immediately join in. Early days, you know, we're still proving the fertile ground here, you know, so it's, it's good stuff. What, what are your thoughts on this? You know, some of the things that we hear from Hugo because Hugo's just.

[Chip]

She was on fire. Well, it's, it's. What's funny is that there really isn't anybody doing anything like what Flare is giving, you know, especially the one click yield. And I mean there's so many great projects being built around Flare right now. You know, even the Zoda used the EVM side chain for flare. There's just a lot of there and you go like, well, let's look at the flare price point.008. Is that right? That can't be right. Is that right?

[Jeff]

That is right.

[Chip]

Wow, look at that. So it took a little bit of a dip then, huh? I thought it was the 2 cents. What am I missing here? It says flare go all the way out.

[Jeff]

Go to Max and you'll see it's just been steadily on a. On a decline. But that's all right. 00 Let it. Let it sit.

[Chip]

Yeah. Let's just do the one. Let's do the year to date. Yeah. So at one point it was what was the height of it should say right down here. Reminds me of all time high was 15 cents.

[Jeff]

15 cents was the all time high. Wait, this is at original XRP territory at.008.

[Chip]

Well now it's in. Now it is the low. Right. But I mean geez, you can get how much flare can you load up on for that? Holy cow. And it gets back to 15 cents. That's like 15x right. You know it's gonna. It's gonna. I mean chances are it'll pass its all time high. But you know it's not really about that. I mean the more, the more utility that comes on chain the more things that are available the more builders that come now you're talking about serious infrastructure. And it's great how Hugo is starting to get especially the bitcoiner crowd starting to adopt him. I'm starting to see his story show up and bitcoin specific magazines which is great because that's exactly what you need. You bring. So you have all. Every. It's not just one chain that's coming. You have all these people then Doge too will get utility. But it's XRP right now then bitcoin. So there's going to be. There's going to be a lot of opportunity. I'm like it's just. It's on sale right now. I mean this is not financial advice but it's the lowest it's ever been the highest 15 cents. So if it doubles that and goes to 30 cents and you 30 extra money. You guys can do your own math there. But man.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Chip]

Yep. Right now Elliotron says right now it's a buying opportunity. Actually it's been for a while. It'll take a little bit of time, you know.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Chip]

Yeah. Back when IOU on certain exchanges. I. Correct.

[Jeff]

Yeah. When with the I. The IOU craze was a little out of control because that was over on bitroot. They had IOUs on bitroot and there were a few others but I don't

[Chip]

think this chart goes by.

[Jeff]

That was before. What's that?

[Chip]

I'm not sure.

[Jeff]

Yeah I don't know if that chart was. I think that's when it. When it was official when it finally hit. I mean you can go back all time high and you'll see where it was. But I think I, I believe that some of the IOUs were even higher than that. They were like 50 cents.

[Chip]

Oh, yeah, it was, it was, it was getting. It was getting. It's like. It's like artificially pumping the price. Kind of ridiculous.

[Jeff]

It wasn't real. Was before they even launched. Dropped it.

[Chip]

Right Then there was Songbird, which was the. What they used for the test net. And everybody's mad they didn't get their Songbird. Coinbase kept it all. Coinbase. Enough time for that. Coinbase is not keeping your crypto. Coinbase is a. Is an SEC regulated company. They're not keeping it. They're not doing stupid like that. But everyone's like, oh, they kept it. They kept it and they, they cashed it in themselves. I'm like, yeah, sure. Because they wouldn't want to come under any scrutiny of the SEC on a quarterly basis. Hell no. Songbird.

[Jeff]

Songbird.

[Chip]

Song Song Blue.

[Jeff]

The community. Community went into meltdown when Songbird came out.

[Chip]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff]

Total, like chaos meltdown. We're the only ones that manage the sanity of it all.

[Chip]

Was. It was something, Jeff. It was absolutely something. And I think we'll just shift into geopolitical stuff even earlier than usual.

[Jeff]

A lot of good stuff to go through.

[Chip]

Well, one thing is true. I mean, we've heard a lot about Trump and Trump this and Trump that. You know, Trump has been pretty consistent over the years, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Very, very consistent.

[Chip]

Look at these videos. Let's dig up some videos. So here is Trump talking about Iran and when. 1980. Let's see. Let me do the math, Jeff. 92,000. 2010. 2020. And then I add six years to that. I get. That's my math. 46 years ago. See that, Jeff? 46 years ago. I just did my math right there. Right? This is from 46 years ago. I talk about consistency.

[Jeff]

Yeah, well, to all those people out there that keep saying that Trump is some somehow beholden to Bibi Netanyahu or to Israel based on his thought process, this is 46 years ago. He's beholden to nobody. You know, he. He has his own mind. He's built his own wealth, his own companies. He's. The guy is beholden dead nobody. And so here we go. You know, this is, this is really

[Donald Trump]

important, here we go situation is a case in point. That this country sits back and allows a country such as Iran to hold our hostages, to my way of thinking, is a horror.

[Chip]

You're advocating that we should have gone in there with traffic, troops, etc.

[Donald Trump]

And brought our boys out. I absolutely feel that, yes, I don't think there's any question and there's no question in my mind, I think right now would be an oil rich nation. I think this country is responsible for that war by its own weaknesses. If we were respected, properly respected as a country and as a people and as a nation, I don't think that you would have the war going on right now between Iran and Iraq. Would you like to be the President of the United States? I really don't believe I would, Ronald.

[Jeff]

Why wouldn't you dedicate yourself to public service?

[Donald Trump]

Because I think it's a very mean life. I would love and I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life. And I also see it that somebody with strong views and somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right, but maybe unpopular, wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile. And that's a sad commentary for the political process.

[Chip]

Kevin Newsom,

[Jeff]

this is 46 years ago,

[Chip]

like 46 years ago.

[Jeff]

The guy is just consistent, super consistent.

[Chip]

It's like amazing. So here's another one from 1980. 46 years ago. Here we go for this one. This Trump appeared on the Phil Donahue show, which was a talk show back in the day. I used to like Phil Donahue. He was a heavy lefty liberal. He liked to challenge his guests a lot. So it was what you're saying about he like to get in their face and just challenge them. He would do that. But here he is right here. Yeah.

[Republican Candidate]

Are you affiliated with any political party

[Donald Trump]

and what do you think of the Reagan administration? Well, I'm a Republican and the Reagan administration was doing a great job for the psyche of the country after we went through the catastrophe previous to that. But the last couple of years have been very bad for the Reagan and Jim.

[Chip]

Right.

[Donald Trump]

Unfortunately, Jim Wright has asked you to

[Jeff]

host the Congressional Democratic Committee, Big hula

[Donald Trump]

Bulla in Washington D.C. you turned him down.

[Chip]

That's right. Boy, I'll tell you.

[Donald Trump]

Did you call your father before you turned him down? Your father. Your father is in my opinion the personification of the entrepreneurial spirit working in

[Jeff]

partnership with the government that gave housing

[Donald Trump]

to all those hard working blue collar people in Queens and Brooklyn. And his beloved son Donald is building on fifth Avenue. But Phil, you just don't have the programs anymore. You used to have a lot of government programs. I built a Lot of the housing. Maybe his. You're right. Maybe you're absolutely right. But you turned it absolutely necessary. But we can't be defending Japan and we can't be defending Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf and everybody else and think that we're going to have low income housing for people which is desperately needed. Other countries have to pay us for the services we're rendering or this country is going to go right down the tubes. And that is a shame.

[Jeff]

And we'll be back in just a moment.

[Chip]

That sounds familiar. That was actually later than 80. That must have been like mid-80s later. Yeah, 70, maybe 87. 88.

[Jeff]

But it was right before this next clip.

[Chip]

Yeah. And then here we go too. This is really great to see all these clips on them. Then here's. Here he is on Oprah Winfrey Show. Remember this, Oprah? Still, everyone used to love Trump, right?

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah.

[Chip]

I used to go on all the talk shows. They all loved having Trump on. He's going Howard Stern, Howard Stern loved having him on. He used to go on Letterman. He used to do all the talk show circuit until he ran as a Republican. And everybody just went into, you know, crazy, crazy mode. But here is OPRAH Back in 1988 criticizing U.S. foreign policy.

[Republican Candidate]

What would you do differently, Donald?

[Donald Trump]

I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies, the enemies you can't talk to so easily. I'd make our allies pay their fair share. We're a debtor nation. Something's going to happen over the next number of years with this country because you can't keep going on losing 200 billion and yet we let Japan come in and dump everything right into our markets and everything. It's not free trade. If you ever go to Japan right now and try to sell something, forget about it open. Just forget about it. It's almost impossible. They don't have laws against it. They just make it impossible. They come over here, they sell their cars, their VCRs, they knock the hell out of our companies. And hey, I have tremendous respect for the Japanese people. I mean, you can respect somebody that's beating the hell out of you, but they are beating the hell out of this country. Kuwait, they live like kings. The poorest person in Kuwait, they live like kings and yet they're not paying. We make it possible for them to sell their oil. Why aren't they paying us 25% of what they're making? It's a joke.

[Chip]

This sounds like political presidential talk to me.

[Republican Candidate]

And I know people have talked to

[Chip]

you about whether or not you want to run.

[Republican Candidate]

Would you ever?

[Donald Trump]

Probably not, but I. I do get tired of seeing the country.

[Republican Candidate]

Why would you not?

[Donald Trump]

I just don't think I really have the inclination to do it. I love what I'm doing. I really like it also.

[Chip]

It doesn't pay as well,

[Donald Trump]

but, you know, I just probably wouldn't do it. I probably wouldn't. But I do get tired of seeing what's happening with this country. And if it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally because I really am tired of seeing what's on, going, happening with this country, how we're really making other people live like kings and we're not.

[Republican Candidate]

What do you think of this year's

[Jeff]

presidential race, the way it's shaping up?

[Donald Trump]

Well, it's going to be very interesting. I think that probably George Bush has an advantage in terms of the election. I think that probably people would say that he's got like that little edge in terms of the incumbency, et cetera, et cetera. But I think Jesse Jackson's done himself very proud. I think Michael Dukakis has done one hell of a job and George Bush has done a hell of a job. You know, they all went in there sort of as semi underdogs, including George Bush, and they've all come out. I think people that are around all three of those candidates can be very proud of the jobs they've done.

[Republican Candidate]

You've said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win?

[Donald Trump]

Well, I don't know. I think I'd win. I tell you what, I wouldn't go in to lose. I've never gone in to lose in my life. And if I did decide to do it, I think I'd be inclined, I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning because I think people. I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off. And I can't promise you everything, but I can tell you one thing. This country would make one hell of a lot of money from those people that for 25 years have taken advantage. It wouldn't be the way it's been, believe me.

[Chip]

How about that, Terry?

[Jeff]

It wouldn't be the way it's been. And there you go. That's everything. You know, consider where we're at right now. Think about, you know, just. Just the. Yeah, the tariffs. I mean, you brought it up, but that he forecasted this. This was forecasted. And he. And one of the things that he had said was he wouldn't do it unless he was really needed and if it got bad enough and, and he was coming in to win. And here we are all these years later, so talking about like that was 38. So.

[Chip]

And here's, here's, this is the father of Tyler Simmons. He was, he was one of the service members that was killed in the, the initial Iran. So this is him talking about Trump and it's, you know, him sharing a story about, you know, how, you know, Trump and, and, you know, and his son. They had no media there, which was the, the families, the wish and stuff. But the President was there and the Defense Secretary was there. And I thought I heard you say you were all, all the families were in their own, their own area. And there were also a myriad of generals, lieutenant colonels, high ranking officials, senators, congressmen. I can't remember all their names. So when the President and the Defense Secretary came up to you, what did you talk about? I mean, I was the first person, right off the bat, looked President Trump in states the United eye and told him. He said, yes, Mr. Simmons, I know who you are. Tyler Simmons was my only son. He paid the ultimate price. And much to my pleasant surprise, I saw emotion in the President's face because usually when you see him on television, he's just being the stern leader. I get that. But his humanity showed in that moment. And he said, I can respect the man that can look the President in the face and tell him exactly what he thinks. I think it's one of the few times that he had to look up because actually President Trump is taller than I thought and just expressed his condolences and thankful for Tyler's service because that's all I wanted the focus to be was Tyler. And the premise of all them coming was for them to give their condolences to the family. Showed us a man, anybody, but he showed up. And you remember when Biden welcomed home, you know, dead service members whose memory is checking his watch the whole time, got the family shot of him checking his watch. So that was it. You know, a lot of, a lot of people that have, you know, people even don't like Trump, but behind the close scenes. So, like, he's kind of hard a guy not to like when you really see, you know, Bill Maher is one of the guys. They gave him so much for having dinner with Trump on the left just is relentless. And he was just like, look, man, if a president offers you to come by and have dinner, I don't care if you like the president or don't like the president. How do you say no to that? And I'm telling you that he's a different guy. He's very warm. And they just couldn't have it. They couldn't have any of that, Jeff. They were just, you know, they just want to crucify the guy. And it's almost like they want everything. We want boots on the ground, we want everything to fail. It's like, it's like non stop. It's almost like they don't want anything good to come out of it. Right?

[Jeff]

That's it.

[Chip]

If we transition to Illinois, here's a, here's, here's a candidate, a Republican candidate who won her primary in Illinois, but here's how she's going to talk a little bit about it.

[Republican Candidate]

I'm a Republican in Illinois and I often find myself wondering what's going through the heads of the leadership of the Illinois Republican Party. One big thing that has been on my mind is why are we so confused about how to counteract what the Democrat establishment is doing as far as trying to shelter the voters they know should not be voting in the state? So the big issue that Illinois has is that they will not release their voter rolls. Because we know for a fact there are going to be a great deal of people on the voter rolls who should not be there. Whether it is deceased individuals who are still on the voter roll having mail in ballots cast, or if it's illegal aliens and people who should not actually be voting but were accidentally, we'll say accidentally registered via the, via the dmv because you can automatically register to vote when you get a license in Illinois. So whatever the issue is, we know that they are sheltering the voter rolls in Illinois. This is a, a focused effort from Pritzker. So right now, the Illinois Republican Party, we do see them advocating for the SAVE act and they want to see voter ID happen at the polls. This should happen. We shouldn't walk in to vote and there's no ID that's requested. But if I was a person who was in leadership of the Illinois Republican Party, here's what you should see from competent leadership that we don't see. And I do have to call this out because I'm advocating on behalf of Republican voters. I am not saying I'm not here to advocate for Republican leadership. I'm here to advocate for Republican voters. And here's what Republican voters should have saw in this primary election and what we need to see going into the general. If I don't see this coming about by the summer. I know that you all don't have a vested interest in doing anything to actually secure or encourage or empower elections in this state. If I do not see a massive voter registration effort from the state party to register voters all throughout this state, I know that you are complicit. I know that you are not invested in actually doing the work. I don't want or care to see any of these events. I don't care about these galas, I don't care about these breakfasts. I don't care about any of these social events. If you're not registering voters, I don't care.

[Chip]

She's right. I mean, when the GOP calls me, they get me on the phone, I just tell them to go pond sad. I tell them, go f yourself. They're like, aren't you Republican? I'm like, I'm not. I'm an independent. You know what I voted for Republican presidents for most of the time. I said, but you know what? I hate the GOP and you guys suck and you're always doing a shitty job and you're not getting a dime. If I want to send it to a candidate, I'll send it to a candidate. I have, you know, I endorse John Deaton, I sent him John Deaton money, right? I endorse him, I send them money. Why? Because every little bit helps. You know, President Trump. I, I don't need, I don't need. I don't need you to think for me and you do a horrible job. And she's so right. Like, and the one, the biggest problem they have in Illinois, these voter rolls and the GOP is again, sleep. The GOP is notoriously bad. They're always, they have been forever, Jeff. They've never been up. Even when they had some pretty good leadership there, they still sucked. Got a guy named Scott Pressler who single handedly registered hundreds of thousands of people in Pennsylvania and delivered Pennsylvania. This guy, he's a volunteer. I mean he does get supported. You know, he's got, he gets support. But he's just a guy out there who cares about the country has tried to do.

[Jeff]

I met him at an event.

[Chip]

He's a great dude in Florida.

[Jeff]

Really great guy.

[Chip]

It's a great dude that just sacrificed so much to. And like he, that's who you want to put. You want the GOP put someone like a Scott Pressler in charge of the gop. Not these sycophant. They're like the GOP is like the rhinos. They are just off topic. The research is bad. They're just. And they do get money. They pull it out of people. I'm like, you're never getting my money. I'm sorry. I'll donate right to candidates I like. Oh, but this, I go, don't ever call me. Remove me from your list. I tell them right away, just get what's out.

[Jeff]

It is, it is crazy to see how ineffectual, you know, the, the gop, you know, can be and where the, where the stop gaps are as well. You know, when you start seeing that and you, you'll see individuals that are out for their own. Right. They don't really care about, you know, progressing the party. They don't even care about making changes on the ground. It's all about making changes so they could advance their career, their own personal agenda. There's a lot of really good people out there that are fighting the fight. And then you get one top person that's only caring about their own agenda to try to move up the ranks or whatever they're trying to do. And it just kind of diminishes a lot of the efforts, you know, of other people, you know, especially something like this where you'd expect the GOP and in Florida, the RPOF and, you know, coalesce, get behind making sure that our voter rolls are always clean. And also they need to be leading a charge of getting rid of mail in ballots. And instead of leading a charge of the mail in ballots, they're embracing mail in ballots. So people are running around, mail in ballots, mail in ballots, you know, and hey, you got to get out, knock on doors. We got to get, and I get it, you know, if it's short term, because mail and ballots exist. Florida, we did some things that other states don't. They have to. You have to re up it every year. So at least, you know, people aren't always on it and you have to register for it. But at the same time, we got to get a push nationwide to get rid of this. And you don't, you don't hear a lot of voices at the local level saying, we're going to do it temporarily until we can push it through and someone's got to lead the charge at the state level to get it, get it onto a ballot to get rid of this thing. It shouldn't be allowed.

[Chip]

Yesterday.

[Jeff]

No, that's.

[Chip]

Yeah, I'll pull the guy over. Thanks. I'm voting today.

[Jeff]

Voting today.

[Chip]

So Justin, Justin Wong, Justin Wong, the CEO of Nvidia, he was asked by the all in pod. An interesting question. Here's how he answered it. Check this out.

[Jeff]

CEO of a global company. What do you see are America's unique advantages that other countries don't have? America's unique advantage that no country possibly have is President Trump. And let me explain why. One on the first day of his administration he realized the importance of AI and he realized the importance of energy. For the last, I don't know how many years energy production was vilified if you guys remember. Yeah, we can't create new industries without energy. You can't reshore manufacturing without energy. You can't sustain a brand new industry like artificial intelligence without energy. If we decide as a country the only thing we want is IP to be an IP only a services only country, then we don't need much energy. But if we want to produce things, something as vital as artificial intelligence and we need energy and so I'm just delighted to see pro to accelerate AI innovation, to accelerate the growth of energy so that we can sustain this, this new industry and you know, go after the, the new industrial revolution. That's it. It's so spot on chip economics 101. You'll learn that in order to support an economy you have to ever have everything from manufacturing production. You have to be energy self sufficient. You have to have all the components of it. Then eventually you keep going, you know, out in the, in the circle and you get to the consumption. And what has happened over all these years we've taken the middle out of our, of our economy. The middle is, is all of the production. It's all, all of the, all the building, you know, anything, all the manufacturing energy self sufficient, you know, sufficiencies, all of that's been taken out. So now we're left with this donut. Eventually the donut collapses in on itself and that's the direction where we're heading in. You know. And we've seen that happen to other countries. Europe is in, in a very dangerous spot right now because that's all they have left in much of Europe is. It's all just consumption based, you know, what, what are they making over there? What are they doing over there? Where's their energy?

[Chip]

Germany. Germany used to be. They, they used to produce a lot autos, everything. But then they went, they got woke and they shut down their nuclear plants. Big mistake man. They used to produce stuff in plants, you know, cars and everything. No, they're all, they moved out, they moved to other European countries, they moved the U.S. it's pathetic. We have we have something from the AFD party which I think Germany has a real shot. If the AFD gets in, I think they've got an amazing shot. They might just be able to reset a lot of what's going on in Europe. But Trump posted this about Pelosi. This was a documentary that her daughter made, but he took this one clip from it. And she can deny the fact that she did not deploy the Guard, the National Guard on January 6th all she wants, but here she is in this clip saying something totally different. Terry, we did not have any accountability for what was going on there and we should have. This is ridiculous. You're gonna ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that. Should we call the Capitol Police? I mean the National Guard. Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with? They thought that they had sufficient. Now there's not a question of how they have been.

[Jeff]

They don't know.

[Chip]

They clearly didn't know. And I take responsibility for not having them. Just prepare for more. Oh, interesting. That's. Wow. That's something completely different than what she's been saying. Trump said the whole time he asked for it four days before, five days, whatever. And we were told no, she didn't ask Jeff. That's what we were told. But you know, it's all a lie. All the truth is coming out and it's gonna crush them like grapes. The grapes wrath.

[Jeff]

That's it. Chip this one here from Visual Vendetta. Kodak was once the largest corporation. Then they started hiring out of towners as CEOs and CFOs. And now Kodak is dead.

[Chip]

That's not why they died. The reason they're dead is because when the digital camera came on the scene, they were like, ah, people still use film. No, they didn't learn from the newspaper industry. They didn't learn from any of it. And by the time they got around to making digital cameras, they were garbage. They were, they were. You know, it's. It's like if you buy tools, you know, there's, there's the pro version of the tools and then there's Black and Decker. Black and Decker is like the. Eh. It'll get you by. It won't last long. It's not, it's not a, it's not a really pro model. But you know, I can kind of use a saw, I can kind of use electric scrubber. They're just not built for, for a lot of use, you know, not like some of the big Brand names that, you know, you have. But. And that. That's what they became. They became a joke. And by the time, you know, it was too late. I mean, the industry, they didn't plan for the future. That's exactly right. They relate to the digital dni. Digital Nomad back on the channel.

[Jeff]

Look at that. DNI Land, man.

[Chip]

How old is your. Old. Is your kid now three or four? Probably like half is in college yet

[Jeff]

or what's going college. I think that was the last time we saw dni.

[Chip]

Geez, that's fantastic, man.

[Jeff]

Crypto mountain man. But my stock trades were on fire.

[Chip]

Sure. That's why that app exists, where you can follow all of her trades. But if we, if we check out what's going on here, Jeff. So Trump has been on fire lately. But he said the Democrat running in Texas, James Talarico, turns out to be a fraud. Well, we don't know that. It showed after the election when he beat the low IQ candidate, Jasmine Crockett. No relation to Davy Crockett. He's got six genders, insults to Jesus, only vegan food, was wearing a mask in 23 and 24. And his weak and effective guy was allowed to win prior to releasing the avalanche of information we had on him. Because as bad as Crockett was as a candidate, this guy's worse. I believe that any human being running against him, sick, incompetent, close to death or whatever, even a child, would win. He may be the worst candidate I've ever seen. Other than, of course, Gavin Newscomb, who admitted that he suffers from mental incapacity, is unable to read a speech, and is dumb but insane. The dumb comedy referred to his audience and therefore became, in the eyes of the African Americans, a total racist, which is probably true. Gavin admits that he's low IQ individual, which typically is not good for winning the presidency. His interview may have been the worst ever given by a professional politician. I believe it takes him out of the race. Kamala is back. President Kamala is back. Oh, just. I'm telling him, just. It's just the level of trolling that Trump does, and people just don't get it. They just, they just really kind of miss the troll that's going on. They just can't quite pick it up. I, I really don't know what, what their, what their story is, but, I mean, he. They fall for every single time chat every single time. And guys, if we do not pass the save act, somebody posted this, but I think this is. I think this is pretty much spot on. This is the kind of thing that we're gonna see if the Save America act isn't passed. Here's a 2028 White House administration. You got Gavin Newsom, President VP Alexandria Ocasio, Cortez. You got Jasmine Crockett croaking Crockett. You got Zohan Mardami as the Attorney General, got Ilana Mars, the Secretary of Defense, Michelle Obama as the Secretary of State, and Bernie Sanders in charge of Health and Human Services. Oh, my God, what a disaster. This is all. They're leading people. This. That would be the end. It's over.

[Jeff]

It would be the end. There'd be no coming back.

[Chip]

It's over at that point. And I always love to see this graph because it really is never going away. Jeff, this is the. Here we go in 2020

[Jeff]

this.

[Chip]

And then all of a sudden,

[Jeff]

this is the cheat right there.

[Chip]

Straight up. This is the curve, right? Because you're kind of coming and coming in, and there's Biden, and boom, straight up. And over here's your missing 20 million votes that were not real. 20, 24. There it is. There's the curve. Funny. Like, people look at this and they're like, oh, geez, I don't know. They're counting 40, 60, 80,000 ballots offered Biden, statistical anomaly. It's impossible. But everyone's like, oh, there was no voter fraud. I'm like, okay, sure, whatever you say. But, Jeff, there is some good news. It turns out that Japan is sending help to open up the Straits of Hermus. And here it is right there. Boom. Godzilla. Godzilla's coming. Can you imagine Godzilla coming and opening up those straits? Holy blowing fire. And everybody. If I ran, I mean, can you imagine? So I was happy to see that they're sending some firepower there. It's great.

[Jeff]

You gotta figure out. You gotta figure out how to make one of those.

[Chip]

I know, that's. I don't know how to even do that scream, but the scream is just fantastic. And then here was. If we dig back in history, Jeff, everyone likes to think that this is like this whole thing with Islam and, you know, invading, and they think, well, it's like a modern thing. No, it goes back thousands of years. I mean, it goes back to 17, 7, 18, 800, after Muhammad died. You had the. You had the Crusades that took the. The conquering back. And they're like, oh, the Christians are horrible. My God, they're. I mean, do you have to have the Crusades part two? But here is. Let me find this video. Christopher Hitchens Talking about some U.S. history

[Jeff]

here, 1788, when the United States was

[Chip]

barely a country, right?

[Jeff]

It was having its sailors taken as

[Chip]

slaves by the Barbary States, the states

[Jeff]

of the Ottoman Empire in North Africa.

[Chip]

Tripoli, Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery.

[Jeff]

We estimate one and a half million European and American slave slaves taken between 1750 and 1850. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the Crusades, we weren't in the war in Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? And the ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so because you are infidels. And that's our answer. And Jefferson said, well in that case I will send a navy which will come crush your state.

[Chip]

Which he did.

[Jeff]

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie and it excuses those who are the real criminals and it blames us for the attacks made.

[Chip]

Think about that, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Nothing changes. You know, it's the same, it's the same rinse and repeat. Except people with, think about the amount of information people had access to back then. People are dumber now. And, and actually we used to talk about the video generation because everything was what you saw on tv. Now, now it's, it's million that it's a magnitude. I, I don't even know what the scale is of how stupid people are because you have access to all information, all information. 100% of the time. People have their phones with them non stop, constant, able to research, look up, cross, verify, double check, look up other information. But they see a little snippet. They, they don't even understand the topic and they make an opinion and, and it's just pure stupidity. At this point where you can educate yourself beyond PhD level education, PhDs get their smarts not because they're intelligent, because they, they read books and that's it. They, they kept researching a topic until they knew so much about. All they do is regurgitate other people's information and maybe they have some unique thoughts. But this, this is the point. It's like how, how can we not educate ourselves beyond that? There you go, Barbary pirates. And, and, and it hasn't changed. The only thing that shifted is the wealth. There's huge Amounts of wealth and resources and they shift and move that wealth and resources around. If you go to the uae, there's certain organizations that are banned from their countries, like the Muslim Brotherhood. You know where the Muslim Brotherhood isn't banned over in Europe in the UK and these people over in the UAE are looking, they're like, these guys are stupid over in Europe. But hey, keep taking all these people because we don't want them, you know, move all the, all the extremism over there and then they're able to liberate their countries in the Middle east because it's non stop chaos, you know, and it's just all this, it's just invented and people in the west buy it up. They lap it up like good little dogs drinking their milk and. And they just don't go to educate themselves. And it kills me. It just, it kills me because I fought the same battle since, you know, I don't know, it's been what, 30 years?

[Chip]

Three years ago. Three or four years. Look at that. Dni's babies is almost two years old now. 22 months.

[Jeff]

22 months.

[Chip]

And Jeff, do you remember that early in the early days, I'm trying to see.

[Jeff]

They've always been. But now we're done. Now we're more stupid. Right, because of that.

[Chip]

Well, that is. That is 100 true. Really. I mean, when you think about it, how do I get to the other media assets here? I wanted to show. Where the heck is it?

[Jeff]

End European. What's going on?

[Chip]

Get back. I'm trying to do. This is the show that you and DNI used to do, which is weird because I'm the conspiracy guy, but somehow you guys did a conspiracy show together. It was called the Deep. Jeff had no idea what was going on and DNI had to leave. We should. I should have done the show with dni. But this is a show that you guys did. And then it the trouble. The channel got in trouble a few times because back then it was kind of too controversial. But this was the open for the show. And now coming to you from an

[Donald Trump]

undisclosed location, Deep Dive with Digital Nomad investor and the HODL review.

[Chip]

Remember that?

[Jeff]

And DNI called out. Exactly. You know how the whole Covid thing let in. And we talked about it, dissected, called it 100 spot on. On where it started, how it started. It was great. We dug into that. We had a lot of fun.

That was six years ago. Holy cow.

[Chip]

[Jeff]

You know, it's funny, I'm was reading through this and he said, people have always been this stupid. We just have 24,7 access to their stupidity. That was kind of radio. But what's funny about that, I think about that statement back in. It was early 1990s, so it's probably like 91, 92. I remember hanging out with my friends at that time and we're at Syracuse University and so we would go up to the campus and we take a video camera on nights that we didn't go out to the bar and we just sit out in front of the bars with a video camera interviewing people and waiting for people to fight because there were always fights. And we're like, oh, this would be so amazing. And we got the best clips from people. And you know, who walked around with a video camera back then recording stuff? And we just got so many amazing clips back then. And I think about it, if YouTube was around back then, we'd probably be, you know, we're so cutting edge, we'd be multi millionaires. But who thought about stuff like that?

[Chip]

Yeah, remember back in the day, like, you're right, the clips are all. People post their stupidity. They don't know it's stupid, but they. They do post it. Devon Steve says all this immigration, the uk any use to complete the managed decline of the population. WF is strong around here. There never seems to be any good news. Just bombarded with fear, news and compliance. Well, here's this dude who's asking a question from about the uk, but also about Spain. And it's funny, that comment is timely because listen to this.

[Concerned Citizen]

Okay, gang, good morning. I have a question for you all which hopefully someone somewhere can answer because this makes no sense.

[Chip]

Don't worry, we can answer it.

[Concerned Citizen]

What is it with the left wing politicians and left wing parties, not just in the UK but all across Europe? Absolute obsession with Islam, with protecting Islam and seemingly with promoting it and the protection of it above everything else. I don't get it. What's going on? I mean, at a deep level, there you go. What is about that alliance and why do they seem to be so wedded and so welded to each other? It makes no sense to me. I'm going to show you something which is you're probably well aware, you may be aware that in Spain recently, the Spanish government, which is a very left wing socialist type government, recently gave a complete amnesty to illegal migrants that were in the country. I think it was about half a million people they just gave an amnesty to and basically said they could stay. But in doing that, what they've sort of done is open the floodgates because now many, many more are trying to get into Spain thinking, well, if we get in there, they'll just let us stay, there's no problem. So you've got loads of them gathering on various borders, particularly in sort of North Africa and stuff, trying to get across into Spain. But have a look at this post that was put on X, which apparently is a direct quote from Pedro Sanchez, the leader of Spain and the leader of the socialist government.

[Chip]

Take a look at, you know, what they're calling Pedro Sanchez. Dirty Sanchez. Just saying.

[Concerned Citizen]

So put the glasses on to read it to you. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says that anyone who insults Islam will be imprisoned. The direct quote is, there is no place among us for those who insult religions, plural. And anyone who insults the Prophet Muhammad or the Islamic religion will face a severe prison sentence of up to five years. There you go. There's a picture of Pedro Sanchez, five years in prison for insulting the Prophet Muhammad. Can anybody explain that to me? How does that work? What counts as an insult? Cracking a small joke, not believing the word of criticizing hadiths in the Quran, having a bit of a pop at halal slaughter? What constitutes an insult to Islam or an insult to the Prophet Muhammad? And if you do insult it. Do you deserve up to five years in prison? And although at the beginning he says people should not insult religions plural, so presumably that means Christianity, Catholicism, which is the big religion in Spain, Hinduism, Sikhism, whatever else, Buddhism. He specifically references Islam and he specifically references Muhammad. So does that mean that you can get five years in prison for insulting or mocking Muhammad, but you don't get five years in prison for insulting and mocking Jesus? I don't know. What's the definition? And that's the problem with these types of rules and these types of regulations. That's exactly the problem with the anti Muslim hostility rules that came into the UK Last week. It's not defined.

[Chip]

You know what the problem is, Jeff? You don't have the US Constitution, you don't have free speech. You don't have the right to protect yourself against tyranny because tyranny's taken over. You're disarmed. So. So good luck. Good luck with that one. The First Amendment and the Second Amendment is not your friend. Sure, they signed the Magna Carta, the UK Fantastic. But that was the precursor what would later become, you know, etched into a constitution written by the people, limiting the government and what the government can do. Because other constitutions, I love when people get in these arguments in the line, Chip, we have a constitution. Yeah. Who wrote your constitution? The government. Okay. And what does it tell you? It tells you everything the government can do to you. What kind of rights do you have? You don't have any rights. So they took the Magna Carta, they lit it on fire, and they went backwards. Good idea. Fantastic. It's crazy.

[Jeff]

All to support incoming foreign. You know, for a foreign invasion. It's basically what is. All you have to do is go back, look at the entire region of the Middle east and tell me who's conquering over there? You know, they didn't start. If Iran wasn't a Muslim nation, how did it become Muslim? Where did the Christians in Lebanon go?

[Chip]

Right.

[Jeff]

Where did the Christians in Iraq end up going? The Chaldean? Where? What happened in Egypt? Where. Where's everybody going? And why. Why do you have this extremist Islamic caliphate taken over all of these countries? All, all around that, that region? Why are they now in Europe? Why are they in the U. S coming over here preaching from their mosque about the conquest of the, of the territories, of the regions? And there was that one post that you had shared with. They put a crescent up on, on a mountaintop and it ended up getting torn down.

[Chip]

Nobody knows.

[Jeff]

But the whole purpose of Putting it there, it was, was in your face. Kind of a show of conquest. It's not like putting Christmas lights up. It's a show of conquest. Why do they build, you know, the bigger and, and the, they build these, you know, mega, you know, these, these mega mosques a lot of times in areas where there's no Muslims, you know, purposefully, and it's all about conquest and coming to take that area. Once they put a mosque there, that becomes holy ground, you know, for, for the Muslims and so. And then you can't remove that mosque.

[Chip]

No, you're right, but they're masquerading as a religion. It's not religions. There's not a religion on earth that says kill people that don't think like us. Sorry, that doesn't exactly.

[Jeff]

And it hasn't been right. Here you have the more reconquer Spain with no war. That's it pretty much. How does Spain, how does Spain survive that?

[Chip]

Well, for the leftist, it's all about party and dominance. Why nobody borders. Like you have perpetual voters, perpetual power. But you think you're going to remain in power, you're not. That's the big, the big secret. But here's the AfD party and what they're looking to do if they get in this time.

[Donald Trump]

The danger does not come from without. It comes from within. It has been rising from the globalist elites in Brussels and in too many European capitals. And precisely because it wears a mask

[Chip]

of benevolence, it is so diabolically dangerous,

[Donald Trump]

they flood our countries with illegal mass migration.

[Chip]

They force our own people to feed,

[Donald Trump]

house and privilege these masses while crime explodes, terrorism stalks our streets and Islamic extremism takes root.

[Chip]

And in doing so, they steal the very soul of our European nations. Spot on. I mean, there's more to it, but I mean, it's exactly right. It's like you have volunteered. And the other, the biggest problem with Elon Musk has called attention to is the birth rates. Muslims will breed like rabbits. They got multiple wives, they'll have 6, 10, 15 kids. They're all on assistance. Look at the UK. 30 to 40% of all Muslim migrants who came in are in public assistance. But meanwhile, if you live in the uk, you're working your ass off trying to understand how you're going to continue to pay the higher taxes, the higher energy bills, you know, more taxes on almost everything you touch. So it's a, it's a non stop sort of, you know, situation over there. It just doesn't, it doesn't end. But this One kind of got to me. This one here. Mario Fall put this out that Iran just proved missiles can reach far beyond the Middle east. Iran fired two intermediate range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, the joint US UK military base sitting 4,000km away, middle of the Indian Ocean. Neither hit the base, but the message landed harder than any warhead could. Tehran has always publicly claimed, they just said in February that they do the, you know, they cannot send long range missiles. They're not working on it. This attempt doubles the number that they said was 2, 000 kilometers. So what's funny about that is you got Piers Morgan who so who was a wind bag, he commented and said so not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistical mystic ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them. And we have zero, I repeat, zero defense against these missiles. Very worrying. Apple Labs, Apple Labs said this. Well, London is now in range. America has a missile shield, is real, has a missile shield. Britain has Keir Starmer and nothing else. Not a single defense system over London, Manchester, anywhere. Britain has zero ability to stop an Iranian ballistic missile if Iran chose to target it. Piers Morgan's right to be terrified. Every person in the UK should be. This is what leftism does. It refuses to prepare for a threat because preparation would mean admitting the enemy exists. And Trump exposed them all, man. He said that they had the missile range. He said they had intelligence and they laughed at him. And he was right. And he was right about Iceland too. Who's going to, you know, or Greenland or, you know, it's like you think about, they're like, don't worry, we'll protect Greenland. You can't even protect your own country. Diego Garcia got hit, Jeff. This is insane. But this is exactly what happens when you have leftisms. You know, these crimes. You know, this is another very troubling thing that I saw, Jeff. This breaks my heart. This is the. The fire department in New York headquarters was defiled Muslim prayer rugs dozens laid in front of the 911 memorial plaque honoring 343 firefighters murdered by Islamists prayer rugs over the 911 heroes names while Mandani smiles. Brazen disrespect. They hate you. Wake up. Can you imagine? Can you imagine this? Putting prayer rugs over top of these brave firefighters. 343 of them lost their life. I mean they're just taunting at this point, Jeff, there's not even any doubt.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I can't believe, I can't believe that that's even allowed. You know that they would. And then Mumdami was there while that whole, the whole event's going on. And they're. And they're okay with that. It's just such a slap in the face. But they do it on purpose. It's. It's all about humiliation. To humiliate and always have that one. One step above another student lost her

[Chip]

life to an illegal immigrant. Not getting zero press. She got shot in the head while she was with her friends. This. The suspect in custody for murdering Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago is a Venezuelan illegal alien who was caught and released by the border by the Biden administration back in 2023. DHS says he was also released from local custody after a shoplifting address. So instead of deporting them, they have sanctuary cities. This guy was allowed to remain twice in the country, and he kills this young lady and she doesn't go on to live and follow her dreams. Family loses a daughter, and there's nothing about this at all. It's very troublesome to see stuff like this, Jeff. I mean, it's just. It's heartbreaking to, you know, to witness something like this and then I don't even know where you go from there, man. It's just. Have you heard anything about that? Has anybody here heard anything about that student?

[Jeff]

No, you don't hear it. You won't hear about. In mainstream.

[Chip]

It's impossible.

[Jeff]

It doesn't hit me. Yeah, they just won't. Meanwhile, in New York, there's been incident after incident.

[Chip]

Listen to this. Here's another insult. Critic slamming the New York City mayor Zoran Mamdani for visiting inmates at Rikers island to break break fast in the celebration of Ramadan.

[Donald Trump]

Now, remember, just a few weeks ago,

[Chip]

he chose to dine with a known anti Israel protester instead of a hero NYPD officer who was stopped, who stopped a bombing suspect. An anonymous NYPD officer telling the New

[Jeff]

York Post, quote, he actually visited inmates

[Chip]

on Rikers, but hasn't visited any victims

[Jeff]

of the heinous crimes some of these guys have committed.

[Chip]

I think it's absolutely, absolutely disgusting. But earlier in the week, Mamdani called this the most meaningful evening, telling npr, quote, this is me just being a Muslim New Yorker. And I think there are some for whom that is a political act, and there are a million or so. I can't even. I can't even listen about this guy.

[Jeff]

Can't even listen to the nonsense.

[Chip]

I can't. It's just, it's. It's too much, Jeff. So we got to pick it up with something a little bit more. A little bit more upscale, a little bit more. A little feel good story, but this is it. Now, one of the things that Trump administration allowed was if you self deport, you have the chance to come and cleave $3,000 your plane ticket, go ahead and apply to come back in, check this story out. I'm gonna take the song out. But this guy father self deported to attend immigration appointment. No guarantee that he'd make it back to be with his kids. He left and guess what? Two weeks later, he was back legally in the United States. Now that may not happen for everybody, but he said goodbye to his kids, he was self deported, and then he. He applied legally to come back in there. So two weeks later, he was reunited, prayers answered, his permanent residence was approved. Now they finally get to start this new chapter. Why? Because he did the right thing. And I'm not saying it's going to happen for everyone, but this guy wanted. He loved the US he wanted to come in legally. He left and he came back in and he got to hang out with his kids. Got. It's a feel good story you don't hear. Of course, you don't hear that. You know, that should be all over the news like how cool of a story is this that a guy did the right thing self deported. Now, is everyone to come back in two weeks? Probably not. But the point is, is he got permanent residency because he applied and he did the right thing. I'm sure that was probably escalated, but. And then this one, Jeff, sometimes these memes, they just really get better and better. You think you've seen them all and there's just a new level. But see how many people you can recognize in this. I might have to.

[Jeff]

That's right. Being legit.

[Chip]

Right?

[Jeff]

And legal in the US that's what it's all about.

[Chip]

Crypto mountain man. Look at this.

[Donald Trump]

In Philly called Tun Tavern during the Revolutionary War. And this place was straight to fire.

[Concerned Citizen]

Excuse me, are you Samuel Nicholas, the

[Jeff]

owner of this joint? Damn right it is.

[Donald Trump]

How can I help you?

[Chip]

You need some badass that are definitely not. I've got just. I'm like, all right, you have me a badass mother effers that aren't. I was like you had me at the like. Like I'm into it already. Right. That's all you had to say. If you listen from the beginning, Jeff, the attend this tavern back on the revolutionary times. That's the funniest part.

[Donald Trump]

The Marines started at a bar in Philly called Tun Tavern during the Revolutionary War. And this place was straight fire.

[Concerned Citizen]

Excuse me.

[Jeff]

Are you Samuel Nicholas, the owner of this joint? Damn right it is. How can I help you?

[Chip]

We need some badass that are definitely not.

[Jeff]

I've got just the crew you're looking for.

[Chip]

Right over there. Cedric Sway. Who's this guy? Steven Seagal. Let's see. Got Steven Seagal in shape. Steven Seagall. Not Steven Seagal from now, but yeah. Patrick Swayze from that movie Roadhouse.

[Jeff]

Might have to turn the music down. Turn the music down.

[Chip]

And then you got Clint Eastwood. Then you've got. You got Bruce Willis fighting with the dude from.

[Jeff]

From.

[Chip]

From Die Hard.

[Jeff]

Oh, man.

[Chip]

Then you've got Chuck Roundhouse. Hang on a second.

[Jeff]

Gotta shut the music down.

[Donald Trump]

And just like that, the Continental Congress authorized the Marines in 1775. Made Sam Nicholas their founding captain who recruited America's most badass. Straight out of bars like Tun Tavern. And these dudes were always down for crazy ass. When ships got close enough. They jumped onto enemy ships like a bunch of psychos just to have fun and kill some red coat dirtbag. After the Revolutionary War, the Marines were disbanded.

[Chip]

Come on.

[Republican Candidate]

It's over.

[Chip]

Nothing is over.

[Donald Trump]

But then, just like today, a bunch of dirt.

[Jeff]

Look at this quality L qual centers.

[Chip]

Centers on the. On the Somali ships.

[Donald Trump]

The ugly illegal African pirate thieves were pissing us off. So guess who was called back.

[Chip]

There you are. Sylvester Stallone. He's all ripped, riding in on some camels.

[Donald Trump]

And some wannabe mercenaries cross 500 miles

[Chip]

of African desert to include Mel Gibson's in his car from Mad Max Attack

[Chip]

Yeah, that was. That was a good one. Gotta be careful. The music in those little.

[Jeff]

Why does everyone have to bring music into their stuff?

[Chip]

You can put almost anything on x but YouTube, man, they will freaking hunt you down and find.

[Jeff]

Especially ever. Especially if you're gonna make content. You can make your original music.

[Chip]

Well, that's the thing. Why? Just do things right.

[Jeff]

Do your own thing. So easy.

[Chip]

Then you can't put it on YouTube. You got to be able to do your own stuff.

[Jeff]

So that's it.

[Chip]

There we go. That's it, everybody. Have a great week. We will be back. Jeff, when are we coming back on the. On the air?
