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? Xrp. All right, this is one of those moments where if you're only watching Price of xrp, which I know many of you out there are, you're completely missing what's actually happening. Because while everyone's staring at charts and hoping for that XRP price bump, XRP just showed something real. And it didn't happen in the U.S. you know where it happened, Chip? One of your favorite places on earth, over in Japan. And, baby, you think of that now, Chip. We're talking about startups building on xrp. We're talking about institutional programs that are backing it and developers pushing this straight into the global markets. Now, this isn't hype. This is infrastructure getting built in real time.
- [00:53]
Chip
Yeah. And Jeff, here's where I think it really gets interesting. Because at the same time that this is happening, Zao Dao finally went live with governance. What do I mean by that? That means that they are finally proposals are flowing in. And guess who wrote two proposals. Yours truly and yours truly. We'll talk a little bit about those proposals. We'll talk about a little bit what's going on with the Zao Dao and see who hasn't joined yet. Also, David Schwartz talking about misinformation, control, and who decides what's true. I think this is a really amazing post. I like that he's no longer in that hot seat. He can be a little bit more free. And he does lay it down. And we start stacking all that together. The stars stops looking like isolated updates. It starts looking more like something that's bigger, just forming. Because now you got development, you got governance. The entire narrative, it's all moving at once. And if you're like Joe, you'll recognize it later. Like it already happened. Don't be like Joe. Let's break it all down. You ready?
- [02:01]
Jeff
Let's go.
- [02:05]
Chip
Welcome to on the Chain.
- [02:11]
Jeff
Whoa.
- [02:12]
Chip
Don't be like Joe. It's so funny. You'll see the video with that. What that all means coming up. What it's all mean. Well, guys, we weren't here Wednesday. We've taken a little time off here and there just because Jeff and I have had some pretty busy schedules lately. And we try to do the show we can, but it's sometimes difficult. Let's just see where everyone's tuning in from. Look at this. Crypto GS in Miami this week. Look at that. And I had the pleasure of meeting Crypto G when I was up in Atlanta seeing this film about a year and a half ago, I think it was now. But it was great hanging with them. He came up to me because I'm Crypto G. I'm like, oh, dude, what's up? It's very cool. Good, dude. Very good, dude.
- [02:50]
Jeff
Check this out. Basil Fords came in at 7:36am Sorry
- [02:55]
Chip
for making you wait. Sorry, we had some. Sometimes we have some technical difficulties. We got that all squared away, man.
- [03:03]
Jeff
As soon as. As soon as it went live, I was setting everything up and boom, the comments started coming in.
- [03:08]
Chip
You gotta love it. Oh, he gots to love it. Congratulations on the Zaldao. Zodao is really cool. Glad to see that. G'. Day. G'. Day. G', Day, Ozzy. I love that. Aussie, Auss, Aussie. Gotta love that. Got some Australian news. Saving it for tomorrow night, though. Something that's very disturbing. Very disturbing. Coming out of Australia, we like to talk about geopolitics here, but so jumping right into this, guys. Well, it's like I. I almost forgot how to do this show. It's been a week, Jeff. What do we do? How do we. How do we act?
- [03:39]
Jeff
We're gonna make being on time great again.
- [03:41]
Chip
Well, good, Good for you. Because we're still working on that. Even though I started really early. There's a lot of show prep that goes into this that Jeff and I put into it. And you know, it's a lot of. Unfortunately, just like a lot of busy work and setting up and what we have to do on our side. Because when we're done with the show, it all gets posted to the webpage. An email goes out. You get a copy of every story we talk about. Some we never get to, but at least you can see what we're thinking about or how we're thinking. A lot of times you'll see something like, I wish I had that. Well, you can also go to the website at onthechain IO and you can also get it there as well, which is also pretty cool. But jumping in this first thing. So XRP Tokyo happened. I really would have loved to have been there. I saw so much. I saw Crypto. She was there talking about it. Moon Chaser was there. I know that Minus Wells was there. I saw some pictures and stuff. I would have loved to have actually been there. And I was in Japan three months ago and it was just. I couldn't tell you how much I loved it. You know, I love Australia. Too. I mean, Jeff and I were in Australia. We're like, hey, it's the same as the United States, except you guys have an accident. You're the one, the ones with the accent. I was like, true. And driving their side of the road. It almost looks more like the US than Canada does. Well, especially these days. But yeah, it looked really freaking cool, man. There was so. And there's some really good panels. We'll talk a little bit about that. This I saw posted. This was the awaj Official Japan's Web3 Bridge to the world community policy advocacy venture studio supporting startups, VCs and institutional investments. And they said, well, one of the. The. The JFIP Startup Panel, XRP Tokyo. They said one of the more exciting moments at the XRP Tokyo was the JFIP Startup Panel. This is a Web3 salon, which is another. Another org as well. It says showcasing high potential Japanese startups building the XRPL and expanding globally. And the panel highlighted the outcome of the jfip, which stands for Japan Financial Infrastructure Innovation Program. Jeff, say that three times fast. I could barely get through it once. I was like, wait, Japan Financial Infrastructure Innovation Program. There you go. Web3 salon, which we just said. An initiative designed to support startups in building institutional grade web3 solutions. Future startups were Kosuke AI. There it is right there. Which is Susie Pay, which you guys may have heard of. I think we've covered them before. Talked about Laplace, which is Yusuke Hirota. He is the founder and CEO of the Place and he's former ex Amazon top 10 financial of GetX 2025500 global real world assets D5 building a platform for tokenized real estate. Then you have Akihi Masuda, which is the digital platformer company. And then Sojin Katsura, which is from Poppy Code. The moderator was Tats. You guys know Tatsuya Kuroi. He, you know, just know him as Tats. He's a Ripple employee and he moderated. I saw so many great people talking about how great it was to see Tats in person and, and meet him and talk about it and stuff. He got a lot of cool accolades. But Jeff, take some of the key highlights here and kind of take us through the rest of us.
- [07:00]
Jeff
So what else we got here? So here we have startups are building real world use cases on the xrpl. Now this, this is where it all gets more exciting, more engaging because this is real world. This is, hey, we're building something, solving problems, coming up with a solution. This is. And it's all about the infrastructure and moving to the next level. Japan seems to be ahead of the game. We're still struggling with the clarity act and things and things of that nature. A lot of big promises out there but here in Japan leading the way once again with technology which is really impressive. So key highlights, startups are building real world use cases on the xrpl. Focus on payment infrastructure and tokenized systems. Strong support through JFIP enabling institutional ready innovation. Clear pathway from Japan to global web3 markets. This panel demonstrated a powerful reality. Japan's next generation of web3 startups is being built with global ambition, supported by structured programs like JFIT Now Chip. This gets me super excited because now we're seeing technology in real time. We're not just seeing people over rationalize why they're you know, into crypto spec specifically and only for the speculative increase and looking for big gains and, and for the me next big moon, this is what it's about because if without this then you have nothing, then it's strictly just another, you know, speculative asset and we might as well be buying beanie babies at that time. You know, you have to have some basis for the rationale of why blockchain, why token, why tokens? Why are we even thinking about this technology to begin with? And we need to bring more focus into what's happening like this while, while the little kids in the U S Congress play around with the Clarity Act, Japan's actually doing real things.
- [09:01]
Chip
Well said. The kids sometimes act like kids the way they bicker and fight, don't they? I mean it does start stop to be a real pain in the ass the way they, the way they actually talk over there, it's just insane. And it's great because in crypto Eddie put a lot of stuff out too about really talking about what was going on over there. I meant I just really would have loved to have been there. It looked like it's just a phenomenal. Here's another one too. Another post that's the same account put up another panel highlight and again there were so many great things but I wanted to highlight these panels because I thought they were really. There's a lot of meat on them. Building on the xrpl, the global developers of the next wave of blockchain innovation, this session brought together leading developers and ecosystem builders to explore how the XRPL system ecosystem, I should say is evolving through global collaboration and innovation. So you had JA on there who is I think for all intent and purposes kind of like the CTO there, but he is. See, Jay is the head of engineering at Ripple X Dev. He's been very much out there in the, in the limelight, I should say. Talking about what's going on. I really like that. So he's from Ripple X. You got Sebastian Valdez, you know him as Moon Key. And I met Sebastian, I was gonna ever out him but Sebastian I know pretty well because he also is the co founder of XRP Cafe. And Sebastian is a good dude. I met him at a Ripple Palm Beach. Ripple House in Palm beach was maybe three, four years ago. I also met Garlinghouse in person, talked to him for about 15 minutes before anybody else showed up pretty much. And then I never saw him again. But Sebastian's a good dude. So that was the first time I met right around when they were putting together XRP Cafe. But I've never said his real name because I didn't know he wasn't doxed. But he doxed himself here. Of course. None other than Panos Mekras. We've had Panos on here multiple times. He's with Anodos, the co founder of Anodos Finance. He was on that. And Robert Carew who's also with the Zaman wallet. And Robert again, another. So what a bunch of legends on this panel, man. Everybody got Ripple. You've got XRP Cafe, Anados and Zomin sitting on one. And that was moderated by Cyrus Cruz which is the, the APAC head over at 1080 Global. What a cool panel. I mean this panel alone would have been great. So I don't know if they recorded any of this because I'd love to play some of it.
- [11:23]
Jeff
That'd be great. If we can find it.
- [11:25]
Chip
It'd be, it'd be good. I'll ask Crypto Eddie, see if she has anything on that.
- [11:28]
Jeff
And the next one will have the founders of Zaldao. I think that'll be. I like seeing this there. But there's so many other builders within the ecosystem working with the XRPL that you know, could have been brought out to you. Think about, you know, everything that Dirk has done over at Expector, you know, and there's, there's so many, you know, great builders and developing projects that are out there. I would like to see more of this type of round table discussion because this is what it requires. You know, we have the competition that's out there that's drawing the attention from Main street would be Ethereum still. And then you've still got Salana out there. Those projects Just you know, they're like rocket ships, you know and they got the because of first mover advantage with Ethereum and then Solana just got so much attention. Not the best chain as everybody knows, you know but here you go, here's something that's really building. We need more focus like this. We need to bring the, the thinkers together and figure out how to take this entire ecosystem to the next level. XRP Tokyo over there is really thinking ahead on, on how to make that happen and it's good to see all these guys in one room, one space talking through it. I was also like to hear some of the struggles and maybe that's some of the questions we don't know but there's definitely some struggles within the ecosystem to get where they've been and we've seen a lot of that. We've seen messaging on that point from Panos. You know he's talked just openly on X about you know, some of the struggles that they've had and building and his focus on making this thing happen. And they're doing something unique over there over at, at Anodos and XRP Cafe has its struggles because of actual engagement from the community. What I would like to see Chip is more active engagement. I don't know how many wallets are out there. We can get account or active wallets, XRP wallets and, and how many active main, how many active participants there are holders of XRP out there globally. But we need to see more engagement. We need to see more involvement of
- [13:41]
Chip
course especially which we'll get into because it's very disturbing that you had 6074000 people show up when they thought their XRP was at risk. But meanwhile you got something that's building to, to have a community voice where Ripple has put out an official blog post in February talking about how XRP Tokyo and how they're starting to almost decentralize how the money is going to be distributed and the XRP has a community that can start voting and making, having that voice and people are like when moon589 all this other stuff they're just like lost and they talk and all these morons out there that are just spewing garbage and the same garbage. No, it's Monday, it's going to move. No, it's next Thursday and they're, you know, are they in it for the right reasons? Seems like a lot of speculation. Here's some images from there. So you got Jay on the left. From left to right you got Jay, you got Panos this is Sebastian here. And there's Robert from the zombie.
- [14:35]
Jeff
So.
- [14:35]
Chip
And, and as you can tell, Sebastian has really long hair.
- [14:40]
Jeff
Does he?
- [14:41]
Chip
I guess you can tell it's back in a ponytail. And there's the moderator, that's Mr. Cruz there. And then you've got some other close up shots here and then you've got the audience over here. So this is a great, a great, you know, just a phenomenal event. And yeah, there's just a lot of people sharing stuff. I just thought it was great. And again, probably maybe we'll cover some more of it tomorrow night on Crypto. They put a lot of great stuff on that. But like that it was really cool to see. Jeff. I really loved the, the excitement. Now this dude, this one, I saw this and I got excited because I was like, this has really kind of nothing to do in a way. I mean it's a tie to what happened at XRP Tokyo. But when I saw this, this was super exciting. Called the Samurai Building. So here it is right here. Golden Cycle. Put this out. The China Dog. He Chew went completely viral. But please forgive me for giving even more FOMO to those who couldn't get their hands on one. You're like, what is this? Okay, well, I'll show you what that is. It's, it's actually there's one more item, a collaboration with the Pringles Sour Cream and Onion, which I'm sure is familiar in the U.S. and Jeff, look at this. It's a little can of a Pringles can. But look what it says on the front here. Wait till this rolls around. XRP Tokyo. And there it is right there. XRP chips. How freaking cool is that?
- [15:58]
Jeff
What a great idea.
- [15:59]
Chip
I would love to get my hands like. I love to show up. Here's one right here. I love that. I love it, man.
- [16:04]
Jeff
That's really cool. So they wrapped them, so that's very cool.
- [16:11]
Chip
So just like the hi shoe. This isn't an official Kellogg's collaboration, but rather service provided by Morinanga and company. According to my research, while regular Pringles sold in Japanese supermarkets are currently distributed by Kellogg's Japan, which is interesting. Original packages given out at the event are actually still handled by Morinaga. And so by utilizing more Naga's corporate novelty creation service called the Okashi Print, they were able to create the High Chews and Pringles with this unique original design. Jeff, we got, we could, we could do an official otc, right? An OTC chips, that'd be awesome from
- [16:51]
Jeff
ever getting A chance with Marin Naga.
- [16:54]
Chip
It could be okay. It could be the official chips. And Jeff. So we got Pringles packages always feature the universally recognized Mr. P logo. Since he's the absolute symbol, the brand. I heard it'd be difficult to replace him since the China Dog. Even the official collaboration. That being said, thanks to Morinaga's Okashi print and the amazing planning of XRPL Japan, who made this happen. I think it's incredible that China Dog was able to completely hijack the front and that China Dog's this little icon used. This little guy you see on the. On the front here. How badass is that? Dude, that is really phenomenal.
- [17:29]
Jeff
So, well, what flavor those are over.
- [17:32]
Chip
They're sour cream and. Sour cream and onion. It's set up at the beginning, I think, of this thing where it's. It. Yeah.
- [17:38]
Jeff
You know, over there, they have all sorts of different flavors of everything.
- [17:41]
Chip
Well, dude, they're like the Kit Kat. Like, we have Kit Kats. I think they're chocolate, vanilla, maybe caramel. Over there they got like a whole wall of Kit Kats, like every flavor. Green tea. I think I still have some green tea KitKats, green tea Kit Kats, which are really good. They've got Matcha Kit Kats, they've got strawberry, any flavor you can imagine. Mango, you name it, and they have them. I wanted to buy so many of them, but I'm like, you can't bring them all back. And. No, but it was just. It was just really phenomenal. I remember was probably a couple years ago, the crypto Eddie, I. I'd had her send me some, which was great. And here we go. Let's talk a little bit about Jeff. You know, the. The big milestone that happened with.
- [18:25]
Jeff
With.
- [18:26]
Chip
With the Zao Dao. Zowdao hit a thousand members, and it needed a thousand members because governance is set if there's a cap on it to avoid whales controlling, like some of these dowels, especially ethereum dows. You had like two whales. They controlled everything that happened. Right. There was a dominant on the vote. They could come in there. Didn't matter who voted. And on top of that, because the Zao Dao only has the only token it has doesn't. Didn't issue its own. It uses xrp, which makes a lot of sense. But these other daos put tokens out. So it was all about the token price. And then. So you'd have. These whales would buy them up or crash the price or sell. And then you kind of took all the focus A bit away from what the. What the, you know, the DAO was really all about. And unfortunately, that's kind of what happens. Jeff, I don't know if you can cue that tune up, you know what I'm talking about. But if you can get that, See if you can get that queued up on your side. And I'll go through, I'll go through mine, check and see if it's in there. I might have. I might have had to move it out of there, but I'm not sure. Is it there still?
- [19:24]
Jeff
No, we got rid of it. I gotta find it again.
- [19:26]
Chip
But I wanted to talk about this. Z, what can I get rid of here? So you basically write a proposal and the first couple proposals are really more about. This is my proposal here. This proposal recommends that the ZODAO implement a voluntary weekly notification system. Because I think one of the issues out I was dealing with right now, there's a. There's a thousand. Twenty members, thousands. It keeps growing, you know, every day. But a thousand. What was needed for consensus. And then it's a 51, 51 majority vote. Right. Based on who votes. The problem is, is that there's millions of people. There's a thousand people, but there's millions of xrp. A snapshot's taken daily. So when your NFT is in your wallet, you know, when you join Zod out, you get issued an nft. You can't ever transfer it. All it does is identify your wallet so that in the future snapshots, it goes and looks for that NFT, sees how much XRP you have, and one XRP equals one vote. But there's a cap. So if you got 2 million XRP in that wallet, it's capped at point one. Okay, so you again. So the whales can't take over the vote. And so the proposal that I wrote was all about a notification system which allows you to. And it's opt in because the people, everything. You're anonymous. You go in there, nobody knows who you are. You never give your name, just your wallet. Now you pull it up.
- [20:52]
Jeff
Can you show them this Daldo?
- [20:54]
Chip
I can. Let me pull it up here. Here we go.
- [21:01]
Jeff
Here. But it would be cool to see it right in the.
- [21:04]
Chip
Yeah.
- [21:04]
Jeff
Side by side.
- [21:06]
Chip
So here we go. Right here. So here is the. When you log in, this is what it looks like right here. It says a thousand. But this is getting solved. Right here you actually see the actual members. You can see the treasury balance. These are all of the active proposals that are being voted on. These are the upcoming proposals, these are the ones that were closed. Those were just done as test ones. That's why they were nullified, just to test the system. And again, these are all the proposals that are out there. We, I run a space every Thursday night. I co host it with Jenna X and we do it. We did it. 8:30 I think we're moving it to 7pm on Thursdays. So I'd love you guys to come join. Come in and listen to that. But Jen and I put that together. We went over and reviewed all the proposals, at least the active ones Thursday, including the one that Jeff put together in mine. And part of what, what I'm looking at here is the fact that you're anonymous and unless you're watching the X account, unless you're watching LinkedIn or Facebook, which most people are too busy, you don't even know which proposals are available and you don't even know to log in to go vote. So I'm suggesting a weekly, not daily, not a weekly. This is, these are the proposals that are coming up. These are the proposals that are active right now. And I'm also saying that it could also be a text message where you just get a text hey, go vote. Here, here's a link to the proposals that are. And it just links right over there. So notifying people a different way now it's often. And most people's emails are generic. People all have like an anonymous handle. You see anonymous names in here. Some people are stupid enough to use a real name. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. I'm just saying some people use their real name but that way there you could sign up with whatever.
- [22:46]
Jeff
You know, my name's not even Jeff.
- [22:49]
Chip
That's. Who knew that xrp, you know, king gmail.com, right. Go sign up. And that way you get a weekly email or you can get a text message. Nobody still knows who you are. It's just a random text message. Right. The proposal recommends basically that there's a notification system that's mine. I want to have you talk about yours here.
- [23:11]
Jeff
Yeah, Steam.
- [23:12]
Chip
It's good coffee. Talk about a little bit about what your, your.
- [23:18]
Jeff
This one I, yeah, this one I think is, is really important, you know and anytime you look at, at a program and, and I get their intent originally, you know, just to get active involvement within the community. But the way I look at it, you know, it's a ten dollar investment to join. Right. But the idea of the proposal is to move from the one time to a membership renewal because really. And I put this right at the top. The future of ZAOW isn't decided by people who joined, but it's decided by people who stay. In order to be one of those who stay, you need to show action and activity. That means that you have to re up every single year with $10. $10 a year is nothing, right? I mean that anybody and everybody within the.
- [24:07]
Chip
Well, I would say it's nothing, but it's not a, it's not huge. It's not a huge amount.
- [24:10]
Jeff
It's not a huge amount.
- [24:11]
Chip
Go to a party, spend 10 bucks on a drink. Jeff, let's face it.
- [24:13]
Jeff
Exactly. That's the point, right? You lose $10. So here, some of you would ask, and I like putting it, you know, why are we being, you know, asked to pay again? I already paid my $10. Feels like a cash grab, you know, and you know it isn't, right. So that's fair. It's obviously a fair question. Totally get we, you know, where people are at with that. But it's not really about paying more. It's not a cash grab. It's really about showing active participation within the dao. Right? So we have to think about that part. But then we also have to think about the purpose of the dao and a big part of it is helping to fund projects, right? Help developers. There has, there's cost of, of action, right? So the dao is going to have costs. The Dow also wants to help developers within the space and whether that means marketing, that means support, getting the word out, all these different components, you know, really, really important. And so how is the dao, the Zaldao supposed to fund its future when $0 flow into the treasury after somebody joins. Now also imagine that you're joining and you're always active and you're participating and you're voting on proposals, you're doing different things. But someone that, that joins once never gets actively involved in anything that the Zow might do in the future still holds the exact same vote. That and it's going to be based on XRP that you have in that wallet. But they basically have a vote even though they're not active. They can show up once in a while based on the one time, you know, fee. That just doesn't make any sense. Right. And so the, the proposal is let's help the Zow keep its funded funding continuously as we move forward and let's help fulfill its long term mission. And really again, you know, why wouldn't you want to participate if you're participating once you Know, keep, keep going. So that's why I like this here. It seems like we have a structural problem, right? Designed for launch. Great. I don't think it's designed for longevity. You look at the, the valuation of the treasury right now, that's going to be depleted. You can't do. Now imagine you have a thousand members at, at $10 ahead is $10,000, you know, but now imagine you have a hundred thousand. Imagine you, you get to a point where you have, you know, a million dollars sitting in the Treasury. Think about what you can do to help projects with a million dollars coming in every single year. You know, that makes a big impact. And so we really have to think about it from that, from that perspective. And really again, you know, it's, it's getting people in the door the first time, great, but now let's actually do something with it. And that's the whole purpose here. So here. And that's why the reality of a one time ten dollar fee, the treasury stops growing the moment onboarding slows down. Members who paid once and disappear still control governance votes. I don't think that's fair. I don't think that that makes sense for, for long term growth and stability of a doubt. And so it's 100 really a minimal ask, you know, that's all.
- [27:13]
Chip
I love the way it's written too. You know, you, you know it's kind of like I think where you have it down here, where actually this chart right here kind of talks about comparing it, right? The current model, you know, zero money flowing in versus you know, proposed, which is predictable. And the other thing too is this governance quality diluted by inactives. I got into a discussion with somebody yesterday on X and said I only joined because I wanted to support it, but I don't see myself voting. I'm like, well if, if we had 50% of the people that never felt like voting, you never reached governance, it would be a waste, right? So part of what this does is it filters out people that aren't engaged. If you have people that just said like I'm supporting the cause. Well, the cause is voting. The cause is showing up. The causes being that voice, that's the cause. And I kind of said like, he goes, I got bigger fish to fry. And I said bigger than the XRP community. And he came back with, I see what you did there. And I'm like, if 50% of the people or 60% you would never reach a consensus. You take snapshots of wallets and then what you talk about here is, you know, being deluded by inactives and people that just never show up and never vote. It hurts the Zodao, right? And so hurts it versus somebody. And also gives you a little bragging rights. Like, I've been here since the beginning, man. I've been here, you know, year after year. I keep showing up, sure, I'm hodling, sure, I'm doing whatever, but I show up and I do my thing. Now you're not going to vote on every proposal. It's just not, not a reality. But the whole idea is having that voice and something else that I wanted to mention here and I wanted to bring in here. But the XRP L Foundation, the board members are as such. So Brett Mullen, who came over from Rebel, he spent 11 years at, he was on a Zodao space last week that I was on, that I hosted, co hosted with Jenna and also had Fabio Marzella. You have Robert Carew, he's also from XRP Labs. And you have Luke Judges from Ripple. You got Fabio Marzello, which I remembered, he's with the Zao Dao, David Bicheri, who I had a chance to meet at Swell, he's XRPL Commons. And you got Matt Mankins, who is the XRPL Foundation. So one of the cool things about having Fabio not only as the director, along with, you know, one of the co founders of Zao Dao and one of the driving forces along with Santiago Velez, is that he, let's suppose somebody comes up with a pros and needs a hundred thousand dollars right? Now if you look on here, you're seeing that, well, the treasury only has, you know, barely $10,000 in there. If something passes, he can go to the foundation and he, as a board member and he can say, look, we've, we've, the directors have looked at this. We think this is a sound proposal and he can lobby for funding. So that's one of the things that people go like, oh, nothing's ever going to get funded. It can get funded. But to your point, Jeff, without having this new money coming in, what's the point? And I love how you brilliantly address all of the objections. It'll drive members away. I've already paid. Why should I pay again? You know, adds friction to membership. You know, this is great. And then you come up with the whole idea of like there's a 90 day grace period. You got 90 days to kind of re up, right? To kind of go in there and sort of pay. But again, it's all about how you don't.
- [30:31]
Jeff
What's that?
- [30:32]
Chip
I was all about having that voice. Like that's the, the whole point of what that voice is, you know. Yeah.
- [30:37]
Jeff
And, and really. And it's not about, you know, making, just invalidating someone's membership. It's about putting their membership on pause. So if you don't re up. Hey, that's great. Now you're paused, you're no longer active to become reactivated. You just re up, put your $10 in and you're active again, you know, and then you've got your one year, you know, so we don't want to penalize people and be like, oh, I forgot about it. It's okay, I can re up. I can't vote right now. But I logged in. It says you're not active. Oh, I missed my membership deal. Okay, let me re up. So. And you re up. And, and you're active right away, you know, so I think that's really important. But to your point, you know, I'd like to also see. And originally I had part of the proposal was also identify a way to show longevity and give people props for, you know, being part of the Zaldao for five years and have a five year anniversary, you know, and obviously thinking, you know, future. But it's such a, it's such a small amount. We want lifetime voters.
- [31:36]
Chip
Yeah.
- [31:36]
Jeff
Or we don't want lifetime voters who never engage, but we want lifetime voters who are engaged. Right. And that means re upping. So that, that's really, you know, the big question. And I like this, you know, are we comfortable being a dow where a one time ten dollar payment creates lifetime voters who might never engage again ever? And that's, you know, to your point, you can never reach the consensus. And that just doesn't make sense.
- [32:00]
Chip
Doesn't make sense. And this is why this is an easy yes for me. An easy yes. And it should easily pass because this right here makes so much sense. I know, I know. Stone was in one of the xrp. He was in one of the, one of our spaces. He said you make it a hundred dollars that way everyone. I'm like, no, $100. People aren't gonna pay a hundred dollars. Ten dollars is like, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's. And one of the things that Fabio said on the, on the space on Thursday. And again, guys, put this in your calendar Thursday for the, for the Z space just. We call it the Z Powwow. But the Zoudao spaces that Fabio explained that Because I said how did you come up with $10? He said we want, it's global, right? So it's anywhere on the planet. He wanted it a low enough, you know, barrier to entry. Don't want a thousand dollars to join. So $10 seemed like a pretty good amount. It's $10 United States dollar USD and it's paid in the equivalent of XRPS. That's how you pay it. You pay for it with XRP from your wallet. This is a really good proposal and I think it makes a lot of sense. So you can see that Jeff and I already engaged. I have two more proposals behind this one and it's great, it's fun writing a proposal. It's also great getting it in there. I wanted to go to xrp. What is this XRPRV Life? He said a little secret. I joined Zaodao, paid my wife's and then for three others to join. Awesome dude. Now if you would got your referral link you would have gotten gifted five. So if you, if you onboard five people get five xrp.
- [33:28]
Jeff
Wow.
- [33:29]
Chip
Simple as that. So there's a. And I will show you where that is. Let me go back in here real quick and I'll show you how.
- [33:36]
Jeff
You have our link yet set up?
- [33:37]
Chip
We don't. Well we have the link, we just don't, we just don't put it out there. We should put the extra, we should put the OTC one up. But if you go to the settings right here, click on the settings. There's your link right there in your referral program. So all you do is you can copy this right here. And so when you go ahead and put that out there. There you go. So now it'll record that link and it recorded for you. And like I think I have one, I was testing it. I have referred to one. So if I refer four or more people then I refer to way more people than that. But I, I usually just put. Because when I put posts I just put. I don't put the long, I just put the XRP or the Zao Dao. So, so I thought that was great. Thank you man for paying for other people too. He said, and he did out of respect for us and for posterity to be involved in this. Now it's time to get to work. I like that man. But thank you for. There's so many great things that go on. There's so many people that are involved and, and again this is community. You know, Jen and I do this to kind of to do the space but it's really about a community thing. The cool thing about this, if you don't like the way something about Zaldao, as long as it's not against the Wyoming framework of a dow. Yeah. You know, can be put up for vote, you can change things, you can do things differently if you want, which is cool. And again, when you come in here, you just create a proposal like this, pretty simple. Put your category, it's, you know, what kind of category does it belong in? What's your title? Sort of a little description of it. You go through to the next one. Of course, I gotta select all this
- [35:06]
Jeff
and it's so easy to do it. I did it right from my phone.
- [35:11]
Chip
You upload a PDF for now it's going to stay at 7, but you'll be able to set 7, 14 or 21 days. I like a longer voting period too. These are a little bit shorter. And so you pick the next available date because some people have picked dates further in the future. But there's only one proposal a day. So you select the next date. That's when yours will go up for. That's that then. Then you create.
- [35:35]
Jeff
Mine is active today.
- [35:37]
Chip
I think it is active today. Where? Let's go back here, Jeff. Let's go back to the dashboard here. Let's go look for your proposal. Here it is. And guess what, Jeff, Watch this, you guys. Watch me live. You see this little green dot right there? Boom. I voted yes.
- [35:54]
Jeff
Yes.
- [35:56]
Chip
Voted yes. Just like that. It's that easy. You click on read proposal. And what's cool about this? I don't know if you notice this, but this is on IPFS IO. It's all recorded. The blockchain. How cool is that, man? So everything's done. Total optimal. See like here, 10 bucks a year. That's the price of showing up. A little descriptor, full proposal. And then you can see in this wallet, I only have 21. It's not. I got a bunch of wallets, but this is the one that I have at 21 votes. Right. So my Zomban wallet. Of course you can also join through B. Frost and in the future will probably be more, but you can now just remember, whatever wallet you join with that NFT goes in and that's your wallet. You can't. You can move XRP more into that wallet, but you can't transfer that nft. She said, oh, crap, I wish you would have used this wallet. Then sign up again. I'm going to tell you, that's how it works. That is how it works. Yeah, that's it, Jeff. I'm done.
- [36:56]
Jeff
That's it.
- [36:57]
Chip
I'm done. I wanted to move on. Yeah. Jeff put this on. Of course, in true Jeff fashion, he forgot to put the link in there. But I did play this on the space the other night. But Jeff wrote a song to go with, and it's. And you want to know something, Jeff? That night, I was humming this thing to me, and I woke up the next morning singing the chorus, and I'm like, dude, it's that catchy. It's that catchy that. You know how a song gets stuck in your head. This song got stuck in my head. I was like, you know, it's good if it gets stuck in your head for a couple days.
- [37:27]
Jeff
So this song is called stay or fade. I think this is important.
- [37:31]
Chip
It's a. It's a really. Dude. And this works on its own. Even if you don't know what it's about, it works as its own song.
- [37:36]
Jeff
Let's see. Let's see how it works.
- [37:38]
Chip
It could be about life, right? Stay or fade.
- [37:41]
Jeff
It's about. About life.
- [37:43]
Chip
It's a catchy tune, man. I really like a lot. And go. Cue it ups. The future of z isn't built by those who joined it's built by those who stay?
- [38:07]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
You showed up once and vanished out now you got opinions running your mouth?
- [38:14]
Chip
You want control but you won't invest? You want to voice when she dies a test you want the upside skip
- [38:19]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
the weight you want the win without the sake that's not real that's fantasy you don't feel you just pass through me. Get out the way. Transition Reno. All this is is how we build. Yeah, you call it a grab, I call it survival? You want it live?
- [38:48]
Chip
Then bring some value.
- [38:49]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
Nothing grows when nothing flows. You cut the roots and blame the soil you drain it down the next surprise when everything around you dies that's not a system that's decay and you're
- [38:57]
Chip
the reason it fades away.
- [39:08]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
Y move away Transition renewal build or break? You don't have to like it you don't have to stay? But you don't get a say if you walk away. Transition Reno. This is how we build.
- [39:57]
Chip
The future belongs. To those who stay. Okay, Justin, I see what you're saying. The show with Jenna X is on. Jenna puts it is on her handle. So if you guys are connected to Jenna X, that's where it is. So what's cool is she'll put it up a couple days ahead of time. What I'll do is I'll repost it on my account. I'll say, guys, you know, go ahead, you can set a reminder. That way it comes up. So make sure you're connected to Jenna. You're following her, but it's on her account. So. Thank you for clarifying that. Justin. I wasn't sure what, what you meant by channels like so. Yeah, it's on her handle.
- [40:35]
Jeff
So it's getting loud over there.
- [40:39]
Chip
Patrick, space, Air Force, Big Blue Angels show. How cool is that, man?
- [40:44]
Jeff
Angels for a long time.
- [40:45]
Chip
I always like, I always. Thanks, man. Yeah, it's good. So Jenna X, you guys think you're. I think you just go look for Gen X. You'll. You're connected. Also, I reposted as well. So if you check my account and you can set the reminder so it'll pop up on your phone saying, hey, the space is live. We've been doing it historically at 8:30 on Thursdays, but I think we're moving because there's some conflicting space. So we're moving it, I believe to 7 or 7:30 Eastern Time. Justin, I think you're in central time zone if I remember correctly. So it'll be 6 o', clock probably 6 or 6:30 your time, but.
- [41:14]
Jeff
And I tried to log in first but it didn't work out.
- [41:17]
Chip
Yeah, Jeff was supposed to go over his proposal, then he bailed and I had to go do his proposal. And then I played the song, but people were like, this is cool, cool. I wish it would have made it into the. There's no way to amend it.
- [41:26]
Jeff
I know the next one, Next one. I like this.
- [41:30]
Chip
David Schwartz. This is great.
- [41:32]
Jeff
It needs to be on Spotify. That'd be a good one actually.
- [41:36]
Chip
So to get the context of what he's talking about here, if we go over to London, this guy is like, this guy's a piece of work right here, man. City Con. The mayor. The so called mayor of London. Freedom of. This is a post from City Con. Freedom of speech is sacrosanct in our democracy. But disinformation is different. It's bad faith actors, often based overseas, who are monetizing lies and hatred for their own political or financial gain. It's the opposite of our democratic value. There's so much wrong with that statement that this guy needs to be punched in the face as hard as you could punch somebody in the face and just watch him drop. That's it. He's one of the dumbest people in the world. Here's the thing about free speech form. It's the speech you don't like that is the free speech. It's the stuff you don't agree with. It's not that we agree with it and it's free. You can say anything you want that we, the government, the so called people agree with. It's just pathetic. Look at this jacket.
- [42:33]
Jeff
But you know why? They don't really, they don't really have freedom of speech built into anything.
- [42:37]
Chip
They don't, they don't have a constitution. It's not enshrined in any constitution.
- [42:40]
Jeff
Yeah, yeah.
- [42:43]
Chip
You know, the people to put out the Magna Carta have devolved into this. So David Schwartz had a few things to say about it and he said all disagreement with official truths will be considered by those in government to be deliberate misinformation. Some of the most important public, public political debates of the past decade, for example around vaccine mandates, involve each side vehemently accusing the other of spreading deliberate harmful misinformation for financial gain. We saw many governments punishing and limiting speech on precisely that basis. Australia, Europe, I mean the eu. Right. We saw many governments. And he says that even though the free, the speech was on the very most important political decisions at the time, directly impacting elections, nobody saying something like this could possibly believe in freedom of speech. What they believe in is much more sinister. They believe it's important that people think others have free speech. So they are convinced that they are hearing all sides of an argument while they retain power over what political viewpoints are and aren't permitted to be advanced. We're seeing this play out evenly even today as the most important political issues of the day. For example, immigration policy. What are your thoughts, Jeff? I could just see it like steam coming out the ears. It's unbelievable.
- [44:06]
Jeff
So, so you know what I mean, the whole thing is, you know, he's so spot on, you know, David Schwartz and, and you look into it now, they, they don't understand it. I think most, most people outside the US don't truly understand the First Amendment. They don't understand what freedom of speech really is. Because when you, when you really dig into it and you look at what their freedom of speech is, it's with limitation. So, so there is something under the European Convention on Human Rights that they put something in there that allows people to express their opinions, but then the law per permits restrictions of their opinions based on reasons for public safety, preventing disorder, disorder, protecting reputation. There's like certain things and like in the US like you can go so far until you start infringing on somebody else's right, you know, if you're are going to step over the line. But that means menacing at it, you know, directly towards and preventing that person's right of movement or whatever it might be. But it's amazing to me. So then they have eight speech laws. So it's either you have free speech or like you said in the beginning, or you don't. Why are there specific limitations? That means there's no freedom. That means you can't say whatever you want, you know, and, and you'll see it all over X what people are saying. I mean, there's some pretty vile things that are, that are put on X. But you know what, people have the freedom to say what they want until you start becoming directly, not just offensive, but if you make a threat to somebody, that's where it ends. You can't threaten somebody. You, you don't have that, that direct freedom, someone's safety and so that, you know, so that is interesting. But you can't control. There's no such thing as hate speech. There's either free speech or there's no speech and that's it. So there's no absolute right in the UK for free speech. They're so wrong there. He's so off base, you know, and it's unfortunate, you know, they, they do not have a constitution. And so, you know, that's, that's structured along the same lines as the U.S. constitution. You know, ours is, as you've brought up many, many times, is put in place to limit what the government can do. And everywhere else it's a limit what the individuals can do.
- [46:25]
Chip
Right, because it was written by the people versus the government. Governments write great constitutions that benefit the power structure. And the First Amendment simply this Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof of abridging the freedom of speech, of the press, the right of people to peacefully assemble, to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Here's, you know, it talks about religion, speech, press, assembly, petition limitations, right? True. Threats and imitations, intimidation, incitement to imminent lawless action, you know, telling people to go out and kill people and stuff like that. That's a little bit different. Obscenities, child pornography, defamation, you know, fighting, you know, speech is part of a crime. So yeah, I mean, you're not going to tell people, you know, it's the same thing as like yelling fire in the middle of a crowded theater. You know, yelling, you know, stuff where, you know, it's, it start like Jeff you brought it up. It infringes on other people's, their, their personal space and freedoms. People say, well, that's a limitation. Well, it's not a limitation. And I always try this on my, my friends from my English friends when they go, they start talking about Trump and this. I go, hey, let's do a little experiment. Keir Starmer is the biggest pussy, blah, blah, blah that ever walked the planet. He's a child, man. Child. Who does this. I go, now you go take a shot of Keir Starmer. Crickets.
- [47:46]
Jeff
They can't.
- [47:47]
Chip
No, they can't, right? I'm like, go ahead, man, I know you don't like them. I never said that. Well, yeah, you have. So go ahead, take a shot. I can say, Donald Trump is an orange man, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- [48:01]
Jeff
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- [48:02]
Chip
And put them down and say all this. Call them every name in the book. You know what, the right to say that. I can say stuff. I mean, look, look at the stuff that's put online, right? To talk about Christians. Christians are vile, horrible creatures that, blah, blah, blah, Jewish people should be, blah, blah, blah. All this kind of garbage you see out there. Look, I don't agree with it. The best way to shut down any speech you don't like is turn it off. Don't listen to it. You got race. People talk about races. You know, I hate black people, I hate white people, I Asian people are this and what? So what? Turn it off. People have the right to say it. They should have the right. And there is no hate speech. I agree with that. I always laugh at hate. There's nothing called hate speech. Is a made up thing that another thing the Democrats made up, which is complete bs. Oh, it's hate speech. No, not in free speech. There's no hate. I hate crime. Yeah, it's a crime.
- [48:52]
Jeff
You're single out this person because of who they are. But aren't you committing a crime to begin with? The offense is the offense. Now they make it a worse offense. But shouldn't the offense, shouldn't the, the, the penalty already be bad? I mean, based on the action, if you assault somebody, it's an assault, an offense against that individual, regardless who their background is. You assaulted that person. That should be a stiff penalty to begin with and it shouldn't matter, you know, why you did it is because you did it. That's it. You're not allowed to touch that person. You're not allowed to put them in imminent fear of that touching, you know, hence assault and battery. You know, that doesn't work and there is punishment as a direct result, and that's it. And you know, it's crazy, but if you have a group that's out there committing an act against a certain other group now, now you have a whole different situation. But that initial offense, you know, is, by the way, crazy.
- [49:52]
Chip
Over says he's not racist, he just hates everyone equally. Good, you're an equal. I sometimes, I sometimes have, have grow, have wondered about all of this stuff that they say. Look at this. Ozzy says our clown show of a government signed off on free speech bill. But we're doomed. You say something and they'll be knocking on your door 100. Look at what people are getting arrested for. Facebook for reposting a meme.
- [50:16]
Jeff
Yeah, that's scary.
- [50:17]
Chip
By the way, we're getting into a story tomorrow that's so offensive that is happening in Australia. Let's tune in for it. But I'm telling you, man, I saved it for tomorrow night. But it's something Jim D. Says. Government will find a way to impose an info tax to use internal as a toll road to free speech. Well, this is the problem I have with the second Amendment. Very clear. Shall not be infringed. That means I don't need a permit. That means I don't need a special waiver from the government that is on special. And, and, and we still have things where if I'm, if I'm driving, if I, you know, if I have my, you know, my, my Glock in my, in my car and I'm driving across the state line back to Florida, you know, that's. This crossing state lines things is weird. It's like I live in the United States. If I'm carrying, I can go wherever I want. Right. I mean, I don't have any. Who's going to infringe on my. Right. So this whole. There's so much weirdness. This is how things get bastardized. Mostly through Congress, mostly through, you know, liberalism and, and stupidity and governments and stuff. Oh, he meant Internet. Okay, gotcha. Okay.
- [51:18]
Jeff
Yeah, yeah, but that, but that's interesting. There was a. Some discourse on X. Someone. Something happened. Some crazy person showed at someone's house, banging on their door.
- [51:27]
Chip
Oh, I saw that. Right.
- [51:29]
Jeff
And now they broke it down. What was really happening? The guy was bang, banging on the person's door, saying, where's your daughter?
- [51:35]
Chip
Yeah. What was that all about? What did that turn out to be about?
- [51:37]
Jeff
Beyond that? I didn't find out why he was there other than that's what he was doing, something bad might have happened, might not have happened. But someone's response was, that's why I'm glad we have the second Amendment. And other. Someone else that, you know, left lefty in the community that always responds to everybody responded and said, I don't think you understand the second Amendment, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I said, well, first of all, if it's in Florida, we have stand your ground. Second of all, if they're in your domicile and they're threatening you in your house and you don't have to open the door, Right. If you open the door, then they can create maybe premeditation of whatever, you know, because now you're opening the door to let them in, but they're banging on the door. And you open the door to say, hey, what's going on? Because you should be able to do that. And they attack you. Then whatever happens to them, that's their problem. Now, if you use excessive force, but if you feel your threat, your life is being threatened, that's it. That and it's a very difficult situation, which, you know, when someone does have to use a firearm, there's all sorts of legalities around it. You have to. But if they come into your home and they're invading your home, if you can get away and run away, that's preferable. Number one, if you can show that you can't, or you're directly your life was being threatened and those situations come up, you know. But the whole concept of the second amendment shall not be infringed. It's very clear. It didn't have anything to, you know, I mean, it's just clear that people are allowed to have it. And then you have right of self defense. Right. And that's. And so there's all sorts of things being packaged up into it. Don't come into someone's house and expect that you're gonna walk out of there, you know, in, you know, in one piece. If you threaten them, 100 and they can't shut the door again in their face. If you barged in, you know, you
- [53:26]
Chip
saw that famous video was a ring camera. It was a, A jaded boyfriend. He comes up, he's banging on the door, and he literally attempts to break the door down.
- [53:35]
Jeff
Yeah.
- [53:35]
Chip
And he got shot through the door twice. The father shot him twice. And that's a self defense, right? That's it. Because he was entering the domicile, he was entering harshly. It was all caught on camera. And a guy, the guy, Jeff, I love this, right? Here, get. Get your music on Spotify, mate. I love that. Well, people, in case you're wondering, does pop up there, in case anybody's sort of thinking about this and wondering someone does have their music up on Spotify. I created a band from Manchester, uk, right, that doesn't exist, with four members that don't exist because all made up my head. The name of the band is called the Ardwick Saints. This is my creation, my AI creation. It's on Spotify. So if you look up Ardwick Saints, Ardwick is a section of Manchester. If you don't know, I went deep down a rabbit hole. It's called the Parish fade. There are 13 tunes on this. It's my album. So there are 13 tunes of lyrics that I wrote that I used AI to bring to life and give the same voice across the entire sort of spectrum there. Check that out, see if you like that. I've gotten some really good feedback on it so far. But again, songs that I wrote and the lyric, it was all like lyrics or partial songs. Like this song right here, Delicate Love. I uploaded the guitar part and so the guitar part you hear in that is the guitar part that I wrote and it is also sort of the melody. And then I expanded it with AI from there. So, yeah, some of these ideas, like holding on was a song that I've. I actually had a song named oh, you're Far From Our Work. That's really cool, dude. Well, check this out, man. I love to get your opinion because I tried. I'm a big fan of the Manchester 90s rock sound. So what I was trying to capture a little bit of that. There's some updated stuff, but I'd love to hear your opinion on that.
- [55:24]
Jeff
And again, give us a sampling of one.
- [55:26]
Chip
I don't know if I can play it though. How do I share it with. Let me share screen and. But do you. Can you share like a different thing? Because that doesn't come up as a tab. That's the problem. It doesn't come up as a tab that I can share.
- [55:42]
Jeff
Share a window. It's a window.
- [55:45]
Chip
Pull it up on. I'd have to pull it up on
- [55:48]
Jeff
Spotify and then share the Spotify window.
- [55:52]
Chip
Yeah, but you can't share the window, though. It doesn't come up here. Let me see. Let me sign in. Let me log in here and see if I can do it that way. I don't know if I can. Because the thing is, like, it doesn't come up as a way to share.
- [56:09]
Jeff
Here.
- [56:10]
Chip
We go. Because I think. I think if I share it as a window, I can do it, But I'm not 100% sure.
- [56:16]
Jeff
Like, play. There you go.
- [56:18]
Chip
No, no, you don't understand the software, man. It's. Yeah, I wish it was that easy. This is how it should be. You share the window and anything on that window. But no, you gotta. When you share sound, which is why we download all the videos, which is why sometimes it takes a long time to do the show prep. That's the problem is, like, you have to go through and you've got to download. Because if we had to go and I had to share every window and find the window and click on it, make sure the audio share clip is on. It's really convoluted. But hang on a second. I think I've Here. Yeah, unfortunately.
- [56:52]
Jeff
Let me see.
- [56:53]
Chip
I am now. I am now. I. I logged into through the browser. That way I was able to do it. But I'll give you like a little bit of a. Of a preview of this thing. Tell me if you can hear this, Jeff. Let's see. Here we go. Hang on a second. Back that up, son. All right, let's see. Here we go. Hear that? No, you don't hear it.
- [57:22]
Jeff
Nothing.
- [57:23]
Chip
Okay, thank you for letting me know. Let me share it again. Share. Boom, boom, boom. All right, I think I got it now. Tell me if you don't hear.
- [57:39]
Jeff
Yes.

This is the night I felt I have vanish All I can tell her is please bring me.
- [58:42]
Chip
This one was actually inspired by an Oasis song. If you listen to the words carry the sun Tell me if you know what tune it is. Kind of the carry the sun kind of gives it away.
- [59:02]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
We move like tides that know the moon no map Just perfect time in your laugh like something sunrise still is my rhythm we don't ch the we carry it inside.
- [59:37]
Chip
You know, I think this one about the guitar that I uploaded, so it became this song. Of course, you got to have a slow tune on every album. Sampling of it. This is probably my favorite track on here. Again, trying to catch capture that sound of like 90s early 2000. This one's the banger right here. Best one. Temp the wire. Edit your library, my man. Yeah, there you go.
- [60:44]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
Saw you flicker in the static light Shadow carved like sin and flight Every breath You steal from me is a wound I wear so quietly

edge it hums with fire you pull me.
- [61:22]
Chip
Banger, Of course. Jeff, if you grew up in a small town, you grew up in Rochester. I grew up in a little town called North Tonawanda, which is sandwiched between Niagara Falls and Buffalo. And this song right here, the same old sky, is pretty much summed up the little town that I grew up in.
- [62:06]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
Kick the can down by the railway track taught big dreams we never got back watch the older kids pull wheel spins fast while we kill time but never last didn't chase much, just let things slide some went off, the rest stayed behind now I see their faces in my feed living lives I thought I'd leave we swore the world would know our names but it all just kind of stayed the same it's the same old sky just a little less blue Same old faces with nothing, you know?
- [62:50]
Chip
Another banger here. That's a. It's funny because when I was. When I was putting this together, Jeff, I wrote this on my phone, literally in five minutes. I. The song, I got the slip on you. I was like, what does that mean, slip on you? And I said, I don't know. It sounds like a song title. So I just tapped the whole thing out, never edited it. Whatever came flowed next. This is the whole song. It's crazy. Man.
- [63:23]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
In where is the fire? You called an hour ago I forgave you inside he thought he was forgetting you when he was being deceived I put the slip on you you taunted me for too long There was an overly weighted mass.
- [63:57]
Chip
Anyway, there it is. A little another sidetrack. But it's on Spotify. Go check it out. It was a lot of fun. I went down a rabbit hole, Jeff. Each one of these band. Each one of these, there's a band member name that I also made up for each one of them. They have a bio, a backstory. The band has a backstory. I'm like, dude, why are you doing this? Nobody gives a But I was like, but I'm having so much fun. I'm like, but it's just so much fun. Like, why.
- [64:22]
News Anchor / Commentator
Why can't.
- [64:23]
Chip
Why can't I just, you know. Oh, man, it's just too much freaking fun I'm having on the chain hits on Spotify, baby. Jeff, you ought to put your tunes up there, because you have some damn good tunes. You should put together an album, man. You should put together some of your
- [64:37]
Jeff
best tracks and should put some of the tracks up there. That'd be fun.
- [64:42]
Chip
Jeff's next song is Eat Chips. XRP Chips. There you go. There you go. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun to do, man. I really totally enjoyed it. Getting back to the geopolitical thing, Trump went full scorched earth on the podcasters. The podcasters that have been all the jerk. And so who's this guy Sean? I can't think of his last name, but he's probably the best impersonator Trump impersonator out there. So he thought it'd be cool to read it. I like how he reads it because he reads it like how Trump, you know, you write it. Sometimes you hear Trump's voice in the background, but it was a long post. But he reads it doing Trump, which I think is awesome. Listen to this.
- [65:20]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years. Especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear weapon. Because they have one thing in common, low IQs. They're stupid people. They know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it too. Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes and they never did. They've all been thrown off of television, lost their shows and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them. They're nut jobs, troublemakers, and will say anything necessary for some free and cheap publicity.
- [66:12]
Chip
This is the President United States going score. This is phenomenal.
- [66:16]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
Now they think they get some clicks because they have third rate podcasts, but nobody's talking about them and their views are the opposite of MAGA or I wouldn't have.
- [66:28]
Chip
Dude, what he says about Kenneth Owens
- [66:30]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
won the presidential election in a landslide. MAGA agrees with me and just gave CNN A 100% approval rating of Trump. Not hand flailing fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish college. He was a broken man when he got fired from Fox and he's never been the same. Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist. Or Megyn Kelly who nastily asked me the now famous only Rosie o' Donnell question. Or crazy Candace Owens, who accuses the highly respected first lady of France of being a man when she is not and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the first lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace. In fact, it's not even close. Or bankrupt Alex Jones, who said some of the dumbest things and lost his entire fortune as he should have for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so called pundits are losers and they always will be losers. Now fake news cnn, the failing New York Times and all of the other radical left news organizations are hailing them and giving them positive press for the first time in their lives. They're not maga, they're losers just trying to latch onto MAGA as president. I could get them on my side anytime I want to. But when they call, I don't return their calls because I'm too busy on world and country affairs. And after a few times they go nasty just like Marjorie Trader Brand. But I no longer care about that stuff. I only care about.
- [68:25]
Chip
He doesn't call her Marjorie Taylor Greene because he says she's brown.
- [68:29]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
She's turned doing right for our country. MAGA is about winning and strength anyway,
- [68:35]
Chip
you kind of get the gist of all that. But I just thought, I thought that was pretty funny. Now here's Jeff, here's cnn. That's what CNN said about this.
- [68:42]
News Anchor / Commentator
There is a choice between the President
- [68:45]
Jeff
and Tucker Carlson among these voters.
- [68:47]
News Anchor / Commentator
What do they basically say? Yeah, they state they choose Donald Trump basically every single time. Look at this. OK, the exact same poll, this UMass Lowell poll. Look at this. Net favorables among Republicans. Again, this is Republicans plus Republican leaning independents. You see Carlson on the right side of your screen at plus some points. Look at where Donald Trump is at plus 61 points. And this is actually a little bit low for Donald Trump and other polls around the same time. He was even higher than this. Again, he is crushing, crushing Tucker Carlson. What is this? This is a 50, 54 point advantage for Donald Trump over Tucker Carlson when it comes to who is more popular among Republican voters. And of course this is even just talking about the MAGA base where Donald Trump is running an approval rating somewhere between 97 and 100%.
- [69:29]
Chip
Unbelievable. Joe.
- [69:31]
Jeff
Well, it's because Trump Trump is on the right side of it. Tucker Carlson is kind of a has been podcaster. He has an audience. They, there's a group of them, whatever, for whatever reason, they're super spiteful, super hating on maga. They're not fans of Trump. They're becoming never Trumpers. But they're also irrational. So you listen to them. I don't care. You get fame and popularity. Doesn't mean you're smart, doesn't mean you're intelligent, doesn't mean you understand how to stack up the strategic focus of what's happening in the world doesn't mean that you're well read or studied on a specific topic. And if you are well read, maybe you're not putting all the pieces together. There's so much intricacy going on in the world right now, and it, it to me, you know, and Jim D. Keeps bringing this up. I'm getting sick and tired of this focus of the constant Zionist attacks. You're so clueless. You're so off base. I'm really getting fed up with it because I'm seeing it everywhere I go. It just shows how. How immature people's thought process is because they don't understand. They. They want to label. They, you know, say stupid things.
- [70:42]
Chip
But you have the right to say it, right, Jeff?
- [70:44]
Jeff
You have the right to say. You can say what you want to say, but I'm saying what I want to say.
- [70:48]
Chip
Correct.
- [70:49]
Jeff
You know, I'm just getting so fed up with it, you know, it just. It's just crazy to me.
- [70:54]
Chip
Yeah. So Israel doesn't have a right to exist. There isn't. There is no such thing as Palestine. There's no history of Palestine. There are no Palestine elite Palestine leaders. Go back to. If you're a Christian, go look at the Old Testament. If you're, if you're a Jewish, go look at the Torah. You trace it back 3,000 years to the, the, to the Jews. Christ was a Jew. A lot of people forget this. Christ was a Jew. Christ was a Jew. And you know, it's the beginning. You know, the Christianity. And yet the Christians have sacred and holy places in Israel, okay, where Israel has a right to exist, which is the whole. That's what Zionism means. And it's like, oh, because I get called a Zionist. You're a Christian Zionist? Well, yeah, because as a Christian, as, you know, as a follower of Christ, Christ was a Jew. Let's not forget, you know, let's not. Let's not, let's not go crazy. Like, all of a sudden, people are just completely lost their mind. Oh, and the funny thing is, Jeff, first of all, you got to give it up to the Jews. They are the most amazing superhuman people on earth because a small group of people and compared to the world's population is like a string of hair. And they are responsible. They've done everything. They're responsible for every war. They control the money supply. They control everything that's ever happened. They've done all this innovation. They've done everything. They are the masters of the universe. Are they super, like superhumans? They've done it all, Jeff. They're responsible for everything.
- [72:22]
Jeff
Responsible for everything. But, but it's amazing. I think it really stems out of, out of jealousy. But the other component of it that is driving me crazy and you're starting to hear this from these podcasters, that they'd rather align themselves with Islam and that, and a lot of these. I get it, I get it. All right? But the, the, the point is that, you know, there's, there's this now a call for alignment with Islam. Right. And this is killing me because I, you know, I'm not sure exactly where it's coming from specifically. We're going to piece the dots. I can probably tie it back to the Islamist sect through the terrorist sect through the Muslim Brotherhood. The, they're very, very well orchestrated from a media perspective. Some of it's coming out of China and other places. The problem is that these stupid podcasters are gravitating to these concepts and, and their ideas that, that Jews are somehow antithesis to Christianity and it's the Judeo Christian, you know, ethics and you know, there's so much commonality there, some departure, Old Testament, New Testament. But the problem is that they're now saying, okay, you have Christianity is more aligned with Islam. This is the stupidest thing that I've ever seen. I, I just don't understand how you can even come to that to say, hey, we have to align ourselves with Islam because they, they recognize that Jesus was a prophet. They recognize him as a prophet. Right? And, and they want to acknowledge that the reason why is because Islam is manipulating, you know, all of the different pieces that there are users of. Okay, we're gonna appease here. But at the same breath they talk about Christianity and Judaism as the demi religions, the second class religions that you either submit, pay your, your, your tax, submit, or you're killed. And now if you want to go to reality, let's go to current, modern day, let's see what's happening through Africa as the Islamists are marching through countries in Africa right now and massacring Christians. What happened to the Christian, the massive Christian population that was in Lebanon and in Syria. What, why, why have the Islamic taken over? Nobody even wants to talk about the fact that the Islamists have been conquest and conquered all of the Middle East. That was not Islamic.
- [74:41]
Chip
Right? Jeff? 100 focused on this stuff and here's a video.
- [74:46]
Jeff
No one's seen it.
- [74:47]
Chip
Here's a video to back up what you're saying. This is a guy talking about he's copped a Christian. He's talking about how Egypt was 100% Christian until are one of the few Christians that are left from the ancient world to give America a warning. Islam took over Egypt by force, by sword, by blood. They killed the men, they raped the women, they raped the nun, the nuns, they enslaved the children and they eradicated Christianity and they burned the churches from 0% Muslim to 90% Muslim. We were literally genocided. Islam is a sex cult. It's a bloodthirsty cult, and it's a death cult. It's all of the things it's a religion of sex, perversion, blood and violence. That's why you look at the whole prophet. Muslims believe Muhammad is the most perfect prophet. I'm like, what do you mean? What do you mean? Muhammad has killed hundreds and thousands of people. Muhammad has declared a war across the whole entire world. Muhammad said, fight the enemies of Allah until they turn, until they're conquered, until they're humiliated, particularly those of the book. Who are those of the book? It's the Christian and the Jews. So you're literally watching violent Allah, the spirit of violent Allah, bloodthirsty and pity. A file. False prophet, Muhammad rise. There you go.
- [76:19]
Jeff
And nobody wants it. And, and that. And I won't say nobody because I think it. That's the majority acknowledge the reality on the ground is just some of the. The others are. Are, you know, very outspoken in the space.
- [76:33]
Chip
Yeah, well, Jeff, it's getting to be a little bit much. That's what we come here for. But people have the right to say whatever they want to say. This past Sunday, last Sunday was Easter Sunday. There's always a traditional thing with the kids and the Easter Bunny. Now, to contrast this, when Joe Biden was president, the Easter Bunny was basically making sure that Joe Biden didn't talk to small kids and was kept on track because he kept drifting off and going over. So that Easter Bunny was trying to keep him on track. Now, this Easter Bunny, while Trump is speaking, looks more like Trump's Secretary of War. So imagine you're standing up here as Trump and you're. Let's say you're Iran's leadership and you're seeing clips of the president. You see him, the President, United States there with the Easter bunny as basically his hype man. Second glass. Let's watch this video. Check this out. Joe Biden versus Trump. Biden doesn't know where he's going.
- [77:37]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
I don't think it gets much more hostile than Iran.
- [77:41]
Chip
Look at the Easter Bunny standing there as basically the Secretary of War hypeman over there. Look at him. He's all capable fighters. They're very tough people.
- [77:51]
Jeff
And there are no like that.
- [77:53]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
You don't mind when the enemy is weak, but that enemy is strong. Not so strong like they were about a month ago, I can tell you. In fact, right now, they're not too
- [78:01]
Jeff
strong at all, in my opinion.
- [78:03]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
But we're soon going to find out, aren't we?
- [78:06]
Chip
Now, Jeff, a lot of people were speculating online. A lot of people were saying, like, geez, you know, I don't know who. Just I curious, like, the Easter Bunny and the Easter Bunny, the brown Easter bunny versus the white Easter Bunny. I think it was a little bit cooler looking too. But people were speculating like, they're like, oh, there he is right there with the Easter Bunny. And people were speculating who it was. And look at that. Turned out it was Mar is in the suit. And so here's a picture with the. With the. The Easter Bunny head off. And there's Marco Rubio sitting down, laying against the wall with the smoke of the cigarettes.
- [78:36]
Jeff
So. With his coffee.
- [78:37]
Chip
With this coffee. There you go, dude. He's drinking his coffee, taking a smoke break. Because, you know, the Marco Rubio mean. Marco Rubio is doing everything, Jeff. Yeah, Marco Rubio. And so I have to laugh because. And so, you know, Artemis was up there. Sure. And. And Trump called in the Artemis crew, and it was. This is what he said to the Artemis crew.
- [79:06]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
Sleepy Joe, remember him? He couldn't even get off stage. He had to be rescued by the Easter Bunny. Even Kim Jong Un, North Korean president, Solid guy. I get along great with him. Even he thought Joe Biden was retarded. He would say to me, donald, I believe Sleepy Joe is a retard. And if you think about it, Sleepy Joe actually is a retard. Like an actual retard. I hear the toilet's not working properly. Can you actually hold it until you come back home? And if you have any Mexicans on board, make sure they don't celebrate Taco Tuesday, or the whole spaceship is going to be. No bueno. Anyway, enjoy your flight, guys. Great talking to you. Oh, and zoom in on Iran. Tonight we're going to have a big fiesta.
- [79:49]
Chip
Okay, that was not Donald Trump, obviously talking to the. But I mean, that was that. You gotta love that, though. So, Mom, Don, Jeff, let's just. Let's just go to Canada for a second, okay?
- [80:02]
Jeff
Canada.
- [80:04]
Chip
There's a woman. You know, the inner herd. LGBTQP plus.
- [80:09]
Jeff
Oh, my God.
- [80:09]
Chip
Well, in Canada, they've expanded it. Listen to this.
- [80:14]
Jeff
When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous Relations. They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQIA what? This is abhorrent. This is callous. This is callous because the very liberal government that has stripped organizations of life sustaining funding has now promised committed $13 billion. $13 billion on military spending.
- [80:57]
Chip
So listen. So here it is. So Lyle Culpepper is the guy who this.
- [81:01]
Jeff
Mm.
- [81:02]
Chip
Yeah. This is real. This is. This is. This is real. Yeah, that's. It's real, Jeff. So this is so Lyle Cull Pupper. Maybe that's parody, right? But he, he says he's a New York assemblyman and he's always at, he always puts himself at the mom Dhami press conferences. But he went to Canada for this one. Listen to this.
- [81:19]
Jeff
I did $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQIA+.
- [81:26]
Chip
And for those of you fascists who
- [81:28]
Jeff
don't know what that means, it's obviously
- [81:30]
Chip
missing and murdered indigenous women, girls and two spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender queer and questioning intersex and asexual. And we decided that the best way to honor these murdered and missing women
- [81:40]
Jeff
was to lump them into the ever growing category of gender identities and sexualities. We're also expanding that list to include the PWPP OTPs or people who prefer pineapple on their pizza, as well as
- [81:53]
Chip
the W, E, N t c w
- [81:55]
Jeff
TPLs or white empty nesters that clap
- [81:58]
Chip
in the plain lands. We will also be expanding out to the LXBM Tatt MT3sABR31 Fat W, O, A, B, A, I, C, which of course refers to the Latinx busty milfs that ask to try more than three
- [82:12]
Jeff
samples at Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors, then
- [82:14]
Chip
walk out without actually buying any ice cream.
- [82:17]
Jeff
So we're gonna have the full Alphabet soon.
- [82:19]
Chip
So yeah, super sad about those.
- [82:22]
Jeff
The murdered women though.
- [82:24]
Chip
Of course the JD meme goes on. Goes unchallenged. Of course they put the JD meme in here. Listen to this one. Jd if you spell this word correctly,
- [82:33]
Jeff
you will be crowned this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee Champion. The word is meathwig, two slug, buck. Can you give me the country of origin, please? Yes, of course. The country of origin is none other than Canada. Can you give me the definition, please? A single word used to describe every minority group ever conceived, including several that are still pending approval. Mish Wig 2 slug Bupku EA E Plus can you use it in a sentence?
- [83:12]
Chip
You are not a member of the

Jeff
Maywig 2 slug BQE+ community. Therefore, we will not be hiring you for this position.
- [83:24]

- [84:04]
Chip
It's so absurd. It is so freaking absurd.
- [84:09]
Jeff
He does need a color.
- [84:11]
Chip
I mean, the whole. I mean, I. When I first saw that, I go, this got to be a. Nobody's saying that. It's got to be some kind of a parody clip, right? But no. So we always got to talk about mom dummy, because he does something stupid every week. But listen to this one.
- [84:25]
Jeff
Jeff, city favorite man.
- [84:27]
Iranian Woman / Activist
How do you feel about the fact
- [84:28]
Jeff
that your wonderful communist.
- [84:30]
Chip
You told me City Khan was your favorite marriage.
- [84:33]
Jeff
Oh, yeah, that's right. About the fact that your wonderful communist
- [84:39]
Iranian Woman / Activist
mayor Zo Run Momdani signed an emergency order that prevents people from coming down
- [84:45]
Chip
to Times Square and celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States.
- [84:50]
Jeff
Times Square. A ball drop is planned to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
- [84:56]
Chip
But thanks to Mayor Mumdani's emergency order
- [84:59]
Jeff
denying permits during the World cup, the public isn't invited to attend.
- [85:04]
Guest Vocalist / Performer
Say what?
- [85:05]
Chip
So our famous comment US won't allow people to come up and see and
- [85:08]
Jeff
celebrate 250th years for the US he needs to go.
- [85:12]
Chip
Is this America? Is this really New York? Where we at? I think that's really sad. Yeah, I think that's very silly. Oh, Janice, you'd imagine it should be New York City. Have you gotten it yet? Oh, no, they. Here's the fun thing, Jeff. They haven't even gotten it yet. The pain is like, on three right now. I want to crank to 11. I want the pain to be so massively severe that they say, maybe we made a mistake. But what people don't understand is the people who were born in the United States did not vote for Mandami. The foreign born voted for Mondami. You're already conquered. It's over. Your liberalist policies have destroyed you from within. You are the dumbest humans on the planet. And check out this one, Jeff. I thought this was parody, too, because surely somebody wouldn't say this in public, right? Inequities in this city, the racial inequities are stark. We are talking about findings that have
- [86:10]
Donald Trump (Impersonation)
shown that the wealth of a median
- [86:13]
Chip
white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000. This is not an indictment of any one New Yorker. It is an indictment, however, of policies and politics that have persisted for far too long. Our commitment now is to act upon these findings, to do so in concert with New Yorkers. Comments as we've now opened a public comment period for the next 30 days to ensure that we have a city where we are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act upon a framework that puts equity right at the center of it. And what he's proposing is he's going
- [86:47]
Jeff
to long history of racism.
- [86:50]
Chip
He's going to tax. Yeah, it was funny. It wasn't. That wasn't the only talked about racism until Hussein Obama showed up on the scene. Instead of dividing everybody, right, Nobody even cared. You know, everyone was like, oh, he's the first black president. I'm like, well, that's half of him. He's also the first half white president. He's half the first half black president. But you know, why he chose the black side? I mean, like, why isn't he the first half white president or the white president, right? So this whole thing, he shows up, starts being super divisive and starts creating all this stuff. I mean, you know. Yeah, are people gonna. Are people race? Yeah, they are. They hold stuff against. Yeah, so what? But you know what? Things were all people.
- [87:27]
Jeff
All people are racist, right?
- [87:29]
Chip
Everybody 100, everybody has race. I mean, and then, you know, you see people like, oh, you're racist if you only date your kind. I'm like, so what? And you only date your religion. So what? I mean, that's your preference. You do whatever you want. You know, I was watching this thing the other day where these women were on this, this podcast and they were mad. They were yelling. There was two black LA speaking their black dude and they were yelling at him saying like, we're mad that black guys date white women. So what? They can do whoever the hell they want. Is there like a thing that says they have to date only black women? It's just, to me, it's gotten so bizarrely ridiculous where he has started talking about race. And the funny thing is the left always has to categorize. They don't take you on what you say. They just thought, you know, and like, you know, you know, MLK Jr. It's like none of that even matters. Like, there's no content of character. There is no taking a person for the face value, you know, everything. But they have to identify who's LGBTQ+ member. And you are a, this, you're, that you're a white person or you're an Asian person. I mean, I don't know why they do it is crazy, man.
- [88:28]
Jeff
Yeah. I mean, it's so out of control, you know, the whole, the whole concept of it. I feel like Gen X, we had solved a lot of these issues and everything was actually, there was a lot of commonality, a lot of melting pot. I also think there's, there's a, a mission from the left and some of these quasi GOP type or right type that are trying to divide and they're trying to hyper focus on certain things, like, you know, the racist issue or whatever it might be, and they're trying to make it seem like that's the majority of the population. Where as the majority of the population are coexisting together, things are still great. Go out on the street, everybody's getting along, and then they hyper focus on the, on the, the, on the diversity being bad, you know, or the, the lack of diversity being bad or the segregation there, you know, and so that's the hyper focus trying to make it seem like that's everything. And then they create policy around it to stem these in inequalities, you know, and it needs to really be leveled back to, hey, this person's productive, they can succeed, they get to succeed. That that's the American way. And it just, it's getting to be too much. It just, it's really, really bad. They're trying to divide and conquer instead of trying to lump everyone together. So I, Jim D. Said all nations were originally founded on race and tribe. It's a unifying structure. The concept of nations is now changing to virtual. And that's a great point.
- [89:56]
Chip
That's a great point. And the other thing is, if I go to France, I want to experience French culture, I want to experience French food, I want to see French people. Same with Ireland. So why do you have to transplant all over the world? You know what? And why do you have to bring your third world and make it a shit zone? I mean, I look at like parts of Paris because I know my daughter's going, I said, be very careful. I said, but you think you'd be surprised at what you see when you go there because, I mean, it looks like third world stuff, garbage in the street, you know, it's just gotten so ridiculous. And it's not an indictment about people because I think what made America great was great people coming in here, but wanting to be Americans. My great grandfather, Pasquale Socio, was born in 1889. Who had the chance to know. And since up until I was 18 years old, 19 when he passed, and he was shy of his hundredth birthday, he came over here. My grandmother and my two aunts that were his. His daughters, they weren't allowed to speak Italian. They. They heard him speak Italian. They heard his. Their mother speak Italian. They forbid them to speak Italian. They wanted them to only speak English. They did not. And this is what's called assimilation. Now, the fact is, and there's nothing wrong with. With having your language being spoken. You know, my girls are fluent. My wife is. Her first language is Spanish. My girls are fluent. They both speak Spanish fluently. And I want, you know, we both wanted that from an early age. It's good to be bilingual. But they speak in English 99 of the time. You know, it's helped my daughter out because she works in the medical field, and it's great. And she also. She also speaks Portuguese, and she can speak to multiple people and she can treat multiple people. You know, my daughter always would start in Spanish and start speaking Spanglish and English, but there's nothing wrong with that. The problem, the part I'm getting to, was the assimilation. You came to the United States, you were proud to be in America. You celebrate American custom. Growing up, you know, my dad was Hungarian. We had Hungarian dishes that were passed down. We had. We had Italian dishes and recipes, and my. My great grandpa's recipes were passed down. You have them as, you know, kind of a throwback, you know, to the. To, you know, your origins, your roots. Then you're American. That was it. You were 100American. And what we see now is we see people coming here, especially people that are into Islam, trying to bring Sharia law. It's not compatible with the lifestyle of the West. None of it is, Jeff. So, you know, if you don't. If. So, we don't have the assimilation anymore. We don't have people coming in and what in. In just like, different parts of, like, New York, like the different boroughs. You knew where the Irish section, the Italian section, you know, the. The. The Haitian section, you know where all that section is, you know where the black section. You, like, you knew where that was. And there's nothing wrong with people wanting to have, you know, be proud of their culture and their heritage. But to me, Jeff, we've got way off the rails. Jim denailed it. We become virtual. And what Makes, you know, when I, when I was in the UK and I was in London in 2000, I was alarmed and already saw it. I was shocked because I saw, you know, so many Muslims. I was shocked back then. This is 26 years ago and now it's become like, it's basically London. Citycon's always, you're always gonna have a Muslim elected because majority showed they closed down all the pubs because they don't believe in drinking. So they closed the pubs down. They wanted them run out.
- [93:11]
Jeff
You know, they're ruin, they're ruining everything, the left, for whatever reason, they want to capitulate. I mean, I know what the reason is. Instead of raising everybody's standards up, they're lowering the standards of the West. They're telling people in all these developing countries, hey, you can be here and basically come and take over the West. It's your right to come in and take it. And it's not their right. Why don't you help these people develop their countries, get out of the tribal feudal warfare that, that has been rampant throughout, throughout Africa. And if you want any country to pay reparations, why doesn't England pay reparations and Germany and France for what they did to Africa by drawing the artificial borders throughout Africa, Just, just throwing that out. There wasn't that long ago that they caused that. And why don't we go back to a lot of the causation of the turmoil through the Middle east, put that on the British also for what they did over there, pitting one against the other and trying to create the British Empire, overseeing an Arab, Arab crown or the British crown overseeing an Arab empire in the Middle east and drawing the borders and doing all of the things that they did. A lot of, a lot of blame goes back on them. Hey, you know what, what they're getting right now over there, you know, I mean, it's, it's, it's horrible, you know, and the people in England are now suffering because of the leftist government policies, you know, but why don't you try to lift up other countries and better those countries don't, don't just have infiltration, mass migration into countries without assimilation. The greatest thing about the United States that I don't think, you know, the, they really truly understand over in Europe is that we were built as a melting pot in this country while preserving American culture. American culture is a melting pot of all cultures. It's not one culture replacing another. And we take a little bit of a sampling from every, from, from each one and we, and we get to learn and benefit from it. People like you said, Irish, Italian, you know, people that come over from Asia, whether you know, India or you know, from China or Japan or you know, where, wherever from South America and then we get a flare of everything put into our foods here. But you go over to France or, or you know, England or Ireland, you know, I wanna, I want the Irish culture. I want to experience Ireland and I don't want to be overridden by African nations. You come there from Africa, you want to be Irish and you want to be part of that, that culture, hey, that's great. You want to be part of the English culture, hey, that's great. Don't mass migrate people in there and replace cultures. And that's what they're doing right now. And it's, it's extremely devastating to see it because you're not bringing the best and the brightest there. You have these countries that are emptying out the, the ones that are in, in need not, they're not bringing their money and their wealth there. It's a complete flip flop of what needs to happen.
- [96:00]
Chip
So speaking of the best and brightest, one rough Rican, who is the best and brightest and probably oldest support of the show, who always comes through, through time and time again. I mean, I would love to see it, but always, man, there's a big banger. $20. Appreciate that, man. Happy Saturday. Keep up the good work. It also says they are turning this country into a third world country. Blue states are the worst. And I know what blue state you live in, dude. So I, I feel your, I feel your pain tremendously. But I wanted to, you know, Jeff, you talked about reparations and you know something, Thomas, I don't think a lot of people know who. If you guys don't know who Thomas Soul is, I recommend you read his books. He's probably one of the greatest conservatives this country gifts. I mean outside of guys like Rush Limbaugh, but one of the greatest conservatives and he was tortured his whole life. He's black. He's like, oh, black conservative. Oh yeah, Jim Crow, you sold out, blah blah blah, all this stuff. But this is something that, that you know, Thomas Soul said, He said, if you're gonna have reparations for slavery, it's going to be the greatest transfer of wealth back and forth because the number of whites who were enslaved in North America by the Barbary Pirates exceeding exceeded the number of Africans enslaved in the United States. Another thing he talks largely about is that it wasn't exclusive to the United States. Slavery it was everywhere. You go back to the days of Egypt, okay, when you had slave, the people who were enslaved goes back to history. There's still slaves today. Look at these countries. I'm not going to name them. Countries have slaves today. People in those people act like this is some big things. The whole idea of somebody being responsible for something that happened so many years ago is just absolutely, utterly ridiculous. I mean you're gonna, you're gonna pay like the sins for your grandfather's grandfather. It makes zero sense, Jeff. And you know all the stuff that's going on in Iran today, here's an Iranian woman talking about, you know, she's like, I live in Iraq, I'm a rain, I'm Iranian. So let's, let's.
- [97:57]
Iranian Woman / Activist
Donald Trump is our hero. I know Democrats, we are Iranian and Donald Trump is our hero. I know Democrats are going to try to convince you, oh my God, he's attacking another country. Children are dying. No, we asked for this. And I know it sounds crazy because you don't live in Iran, you don't live in our shoes, you don't walk in our shoes. So I'm going to explain it to you. Very short version. The reason that we asked for these attacks was for 47 years, anytime we went to street and asked for this bloody regime to stop, they killed us. The most Recent one was 8 and 9th of January. They killed 40, 000 people. They arrested tens of thousand people. They start hanging them because you're fighting Islamic regime, you're fighting God. That's their ideology. So we asked, we couldn't take them down. And if you think some people are, why don't you do it? Look at them in this attack, in this strike. Their supreme leader is gone, the dictator is gone and tens of top general are gone. They're still alive. Why? They're like spider nets. They're everywhere where we can take them down. Iranian people, we don't have guns. So what we ask from Donald Trump is to start to eliminate those centers where they organize their attack to their people, to us. They don't see us as their people. So we will be a little bit even in the power so we can take back our country. I know some people might die in this, but they were already hanging thousands of people, people. So actually the hanging stops now. So I know you don't understand us, I don't want you to understand us. But don't think we are crazy. We love, we want to live, we want to be alive. But Islamic regime take that from us. For many Years and this is our last chance. And people of Iran are willing to sacrifice their life for this freedom. And Israel and America is helping in that. I know that their interests also align with our interest. Interest because they know Islamic regime is a threat to them.
- [99:44]
Jeff
Where.
- [99:45]
Iranian Woman / Activist
Because they were. Why are they helping you? We know, we know this is like for all of us, interest. Just trust us. You don't live in my country. If you don't want to support us, at least don't stay in the way. A few days ago in New York, Iranian people went celebrating. Some people went there.
- [100:02]
Chip
It's amazing.
- [100:03]
Jeff
Block them, to block them. They don't understand. Now I, you know, had a good group of friends and I had, living in Detroit, you have a good opportunity to meet a lot of people that come in from the Middle east from different areas. And I had quite a few friends from Lebanon, Christians from Lebanon and the stories that you would hear of what it took, you know, what happened to their families over time, why they ended up in the US Quite a few friends who are of Chaldean heritage, they're Christians in northern Iraq and the lands that were stolen from them and, and everything that went on. Interesting, you know, segment on that was that Saddam Hussein, his second, his right hand guy, I forget his name offhand was Chaldean. And so there was some level of protection of, of Chaldeans there, but they were never like in a secure place. And as they fled to come into the U.S. i can remember my friend's brother during the first Gulf War, he, they were super concerned about saying anything in the US about, about Iraq or Saddam Hussein or, or anything around there because they thought that people were listening to them and they would be threatened directly in Detroit and these were, you know, Iraqis. And now same thing with the Iranian community. And you can hear, you know, how she speaks out. People don't understand. They, they look at this in sound bites. They look at it from a periphery. There's so many people who think they really understand the subject just because they started hearing about it in the past year. Like all of a sudden people know about, about Iran. People all of a sudden know about, you know, the different Islamic sects. You know, all of a sudden they know everything. But you have to go back, you have to go way back and, and really truly understand how this developed to get to the point where we're at now and what these people have suffered through. Where Iran was, you know, before the Islamic revolution kind of took over. Same thing throughout the region. And then people want, they look at it like, oh, the. You know, these countries have been there for so long. And we look at the map of the Middle east, go back in and get an idea of when each one of these countries got their independence. Whether it was Lebanon or Syria was like 1947. Lebanon, I believe, was in. Was in the 30s. Jordan was in the 20s. You know, all of the borders of that region are relatively new there. And so there's no massive history. There was an Ottoman Empire there that controlled and dictated territory. There was the overthrowing of. Of Persia, you know, which is. Which is Iran today. And. And there's just so much that had happened historically, not in, like, thousands of years ago. But you don't have to go that far back, you know, Pre World War II. You go back post World War I, and you start seeing some of the borders that are starting to get drawn. You just have to educate, you know, and really understand, and that's important.
- [103:01]
Chip
Yeah, well said. People act like. Like those borders have been around for average.
- [103:07]
Jeff
They just want to have it.
- [103:08]
Chip
Let's leave on this. Jeff, I wanted. This is Adam Carolla, who. Well, I just play the clip anyway. I'll play the clip when we get out of here.
- [103:17]
News Anchor / Commentator
What they do is they somehow.
- [103:20]
Chip
Democrats talk about lefties right here.
- [103:21]
News Anchor / Commentator
Because what they do is they create chaos. And then at some point they go, look at all the chaos. And it's like, yeah, I know. That's because you're doing that. And then they go, don't you want the chaos to end? You know, and so what. What the. The phenomenon that's kind of interesting with Trump is like, what if I just said, as an example, you and your wife. And your wife said, I'd like to go to bed at night and leave the front door open. And you go, I don't want to do that. Because raccoons would come into the house, a stray dog. And they go, no, that's what I want to do. And you go, no, no. And then you come downstairs in the morning, the trash is all torn through because a family of raccoon walked through your living room, and so on and so forth. And then you say to your wife, can we just shut the front door? Can we just shut the front door? And she goes, no, no. And you go, I'm shutting the front door. And you shut the front door. She's throwing a fit every single. Every single night. Every single night. And then at some point, your kids just go, just open the front door. I'm so tired of hearing her. I'm so tired of the arguing. And you go, but we shut the front door. We didn't get any raccoons. I know, but I don't want to hear this anymore. Just do it. You know? And you go, fine, we'll do it. And so you go, oh, you open the front door, and now there's raccoons back in the house, but there's no more arguing, and at least your kids can go in the room and shut the door and go to bed, you know? And so you kind. It's. In a way, it's like being blackmailed, right? So you go, I don't want the front door. And I go, yeah, but don't you just want peace? Don't you just want some peace in your home? And you.
- [104:56]
Chip
Okay.
- [104:57]
News Anchor / Commentator
And that's sort of what they do. They go out and they fight everything. It could be ice. It could be a ballroom. It could be anything to do at the border. It could be any transgender, any. They just fight everything. And then at some point they go, aren't you tired of the chaos? Don't you just want some peace? Don't you want to just get back to normal? Don't you just want to get some. Middle of the road, somebody just put our guy in there, open the front door, no more arguments, and we can get on with our life. Wouldn't that be nice? And I'm like, it would be nice, but there's an alternative one, which is you shut the up.
- [105:32]
Chip
You know what I mean?
- [105:33]
News Anchor / Commentator
Like, just let ICE do their job. Let the border patrol do their job. How about you just sit back and let everyone do their job for 10 minutes? Let them add a ballroom onto the east wing. How about that? Because that's the other alternative. I'm going to shut the front door, you shut the up, and we'll get on with our lives with no raccoon.
- [105:54]
Jeff
That's a great.
- [105:55]
Chip
It's a great analogy.
- [105:56]
Jeff
That's a great analogy. He's great. I love. I love Adam Corolla. He's so funny.
- [106:03]
Chip
So funny that him and Jimmy Kimmel did a show together. And Jimmy Kimmel's such a lefty, you know, And Adam Corolla still talks highly of them. They're still good buddies. He doesn't get into the politics things. He still likes the guy. They'll be friends. I think it's easier for Corolla to be friends with Kimmel than it is Kimmel for friends with Corolla. You know, chicks on trampolines. Yeah, that was one of the things y.
- [106:24]
Jeff
Hey, Chip, while We're going through this whole thing. I actually wrote a song for Aussie.
- [106:29]
Chip
Oh, did you look at this? Ay, check it out. I hope you're still here. He's got a song for you.
- [106:34]
Jeff
Let's do this.
- [106:35]
Chip
This is. This is great, man. Let's do it.
- [106:38]
Jeff
All right, Let me play it here.
