Chip
Welcome to on the Chain. This is Chip here with. Well, Chip, Jeff, as you know, is in Korea, so he's unable to join. Just chatted with him a few minutes ago. But he's not in a spot where he can go live, otherwise he would. So today on the podcast we got a lot of stuff. Bull run is confirmed. What am I talking about here? Well, markets are surging, but historically August and September are brutal for gains. Well, just ask Jim Cramer. And then Ripple goes Banking Ripple's OCC banking license applications public. What it reveals could reshape the future footprint. And we have xrp. New York City is coming up in November, so if you're not registered for that yet, that's going to be quite. It's happening right around the time as well, which is fantastic. Also a great new resource. I don't know if it's new, but it's a great resource to basically shut down the BTC Maxis and their denial of XRPL facts. A great way to kind of back it up. The Zaha ecosystem. Some new projects are rolling out. One shot, a cinematic teaser drops. What would you do? Would you minute or let it slip? It's a big nod to the XRP community. And also geopolitics. We got Trump launches a new sports council with major legends. His trade strategy vindicated media as always. Of course they doubted him. The Dems are in decline. Gallup, cnn, Wall Street Journal all show really bad numbers for the Democrat Party. Their narrative is obviously cracking. Then you got Kennedy and Robinson. Senator John Kennedy delivers some more zingers. We got Tommy Robinson, the woke fallout. Jaguar CEO steps down. There's just a lot of stuff going on. Culture, chaos, yellow jeans, TikTok meltdown, baby. TRUMP means we got it all here. Why? Because of course, it's the on the chain broadcast. That's why we're here. That's what we're doing. So thank you guys all for joining us. Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain. Hello, everybody. Welcome. On the Saturday morning, Saturday night, depending where you're coming in from. I don't know if you're. If it's possibly. I don't think it's possible to be Sunday morning, but maybe we might be close to Sunday morning. Uphold, drop where you're coming in from. Ray Run says Uphold is issuing their credit for xrp. Again, that's also very good news. People always say, well, how do I spend you? What are you gonna do with crypto? How do you spend it? Well, there you go. That's how you Spend it on a credit card. Right. Crypto.com has their credit cards. A lot of, a lot of different ways to spend it. People are like, how do you spend bitcoin? Well, you can do it on a credit card as well, so that's something. But drop where you're coming in from here. Chad says tongue punch that like button on your way in. Yeah, it always helps the algorithm if you definitely do that. We definitely like to see that XRP life. Love to go to Ripple in New York, but I have a hot but traffic arrest warrant in New York. Yeah, probably not a good idea to show up there because they'll toss you in the slammer and the clink, as they say. Let's see. I was kissing me. There we go. Extra people. So drop where you're coming in from, guys, as you make your way in here. Of course, we will definitely be talking all things xrp. We'll be talking some Ripple and of course we'll get into geopolitics. I think we're like the only podcast on the chain is that does geopolitics mixed in with crypto. Crypto mixed in with geopolitics. We kind of run it about halfway also too. I didn't pull a yeti per se, but that doesn't mean we can't find one. I will find a yeti to give away today. It might be a, it might be a last minute sort of a thing because obviously doing show prep and getting everything ready, of course, double duty when Jeff's not here. So I will. Right now we've got zero entries for yeti, but we will be giving one away today. I just got to find out which one and which try. But we'll, we'll give something away. So that will be a lot in the day. XRP Plumbing says he did a lot of plumbing and sell at Celebration back in the day, which is where Chad is from. In the day, of course. Yeah. I hate that you can't edit those things, but yeah. So xrp, that meetup is going to be right around Swell. And I've. I've just check this out. So for the last five or six years, ever since Swell's been going on, I have applied to go to Swell and I've been rejected every year. However, not this year, Satan. This year I was approved. I will be at Ripple Swell up in New York City and the, there's a, the Monday night, there's a. There's like a dinner type of thing, like a welcome type of dinner then. And Swell happens on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then Wednesday night is where the meetup is. Also registered for that. I'm not sure if I'll be making that or not, but. Good possibility. But you need to get registered. I do have limited space, so I will share that with you guys today. So if you're gonna be there. If you're gonna be up there. Yeah, Nice. Absolutely. It was kind of a. Kind of a shocker. Surprise. When I got the email. I was like. I had to read it twice. I was like, wait, what? Wait, I was. Wait, what? Approved. So really good, too. So really happy about that. It's, you know, I mean, they can only let so many people go. I understand that. And I was really happy to finally be able to be one of those people. So. Really good. And. Yeah, it's really cool. So really looking forward to that. My first one. Never been to a swell before. Something of. For the ages. I just wish it was here in Miami, but. Oh, well, I always say, like, guys, you know, because I know Garlinghouse used to have a house. I think he just sold it in Miami recently. But I would just think, like, why isn't Miami a good. I think that Miami, I think, have a Miami office, too, but I guess New York's more accessible, probably to the northeast and almost, you know, there's so much traffic that goes into the airport there, so. I totally understand that. You know, there you go. The old Joe Groucho Mark said this. As a matter of fact, I would never join a club that would have me as a member. Yeah, Groucho Mark's famous line right there. A good one. That's true. It's probably a good point. Not necessarily a club, but I get your point there. But yeah, you're absolutely right. It's a. It's a good point. It says. Speaks a lot to it. So, guys, the good news is the bull room run is confirmed. How do we know that? I'll tell you how we know. This is how we know right here. Jim Cramer put this up. He says he always despises both August and September. They're just tough months to make money. So, you know, cue the incoming bull run because Kramer is never right about anything. And usually when he. And the last thing you want to do, I saw him endorse, like, it was a Cardano or something the other day. And I was like, oh, you never really want him to endorse any crypto per se, or talk about a crypto unless he says it's going to tank. Then that's good news. That's good welcome news. But if he thinks it's a good thing, watch out. Because Kramer, I don't know how the guy has been on the show consistently where he's wrong about everything. I mean, the guy is just a walking danger to people just saying, like, hey, whatever I say, do the opposite. Of course, we see a lot of that in a lot of places. We see that in the mainstream media. Usually if they're talking one thing, it's usually always the opposite thing. We've come very. Become very aware of how they actually work and we have seen that over time. XRP Plumbing. Thank you, man. Appreciate that. Jeff is not going. I've been trying to tell Jeff to register and Jeff is not registered. I sent an email. You had a, you had. I think I did this over a month ago, maybe a month and a half ago when they, when they announced it, they. You had to put do an application and I did the application, but I just got notified two days ago about it, so. And already paid the. And there was also a really nice thing they did, which is they give you a nice discount on the entrance fee, which was great. I mean, they didn't have to do that. So I felt like that was an extra, you know, limited time type of thing. But I thought that was a really nice thing. But thank you for that support. XRP Plumbing. I'm trying to get Jeff to go. I just did ping him like, hey, dude, I'm going, so get registered. And well, I don't know what Jeff's done, if he's got registered or not. But I tried, I tried to explain it to him, you know. Yeah, that's right. He is, he is a jinx for sure. He definitely is a jinx. Need a rate drop for the liquidity. Agree with that as well. But I think, you know, it's funny that Trump is telegraphing September. He keeps talking about September. I don't know if, you know, Powell maybe kind of gave him a heads up, but if it feels like. And what's the website that predicted accurately the, the presidential winner? They have it at like 85 or 95%. You guys will know the site. I can't think of it offhand, but I saw something where they had 80% that it was going to be a rate drop in September. So there seems to be some good, at least good feelings on that. Who knows? But there really should be a drop, you know. Yeah, Kramer is a jinx. Yeah. So it could be good or bad either way. But yeah, he is, he is quite the jinx. For sure. And what else do we have here? What else do we have in the grab bag here? Oh, Wrath of Conman put this up. I always liked following him because he always, he's always has his finger on the pulse of what's going on. A lot of times you miss this stuff if you're not following it. But he's talking about Baselight here, which is a brand new tool that lets you search and analyze anything on the xrpl, whether it comes to data, you know, using standard database tools. And it makes the XRPL more accessible for businesses who are looking for clear reporting, compliance checks or even insights on chain activity. Useful for enterprise grade data tooling. Very cool. And then let's talk a little. We'll break down this thread a little bit. Baselight. The XRPL just got a major analytics upgrade. Structured SQL Native access to ledger data is now available on Baselight. Thanks to XRP Scan and XRPL Commons, the XRPL community now has a clean queryable data without custom infrastructure and no blind spots. So let's break it down here. The XRPL is run error free for over a decade, creating a massive trove of data to be queried and explored. Now with native AMMS identity, new data, native stable coins and cross chain bridges, the XRPL is expanding into utility and data. This means that there's going to be easy access to the XRPL data and it's really absolutely essential. Now they wrote a whole blog post, but I'm going to stick with the with this here because they break it all down in a nice succinct way. We're working with XRP Scan to deliver new data experience by fully indexing XRPL data into clean structured tables. Now, if you're familiar with data and if you're familiar with structured versus unstructured data, obviously structured data a little bit easier to query. Unstructured becomes a little bit of a nightmare if you've ever worked with data. But what's making that a lot easier too is AI is trying to make sense of it. However, there could be a lot of errors when it comes to unstructured data just because it's trying to make sense of the unstructured data. But putting these in tables now makes the ability to query it. And if you're thinking about going back and looking for trends like 1 year, 2 year, 5 years, this is a massive amount of data that they're going to put into tables and create the structured data out of it. And the integration brings the XRPL data into their data analytics engine and the catalog. And then it kind of like goes with chains they already have which is Ethereum, base, BNB and 50,000 other data sets. So what's going to be possible? You'll be able to have, you know, AMM pools. You'll be able to look at validator behavior, take a look at the token metadata, what's the network health look like, what are some of the well known accounts doing, account balances and more. So it's a pretty cool thing that you're going to be able to see what's going on. You can see here just this little example here. The green on the bottom is the daily AMM transactions. Then you've got the XRP locked and AMM which is this blue line over here. So you can see it went way up here right around November of 24 and then it's kind of like, it's kind of been pretty steady. The yellow line over here is active AMM pools. You can see that's kind of like skyrocketed. This is what we want crypto to do right here, any crypto just fly up there like that. So it's pretty cool. Here's a few quick examples of what you can do with XRPL data right now. So you can join XRPL data with Ethereum or macro data. You can research native stablecoin volumes like Ripple's USD stablecoin. You can monitor validator health for community queries, remix them, run compliance on ecosystem reports, analyze XRPL defi activity all in a second. That's pretty amazing. And it's, it's wild that it's been this long since you've been able to do this. Usually people would have to get the data and try to do it themselves. So this is really a phenomenal new addition. So if you think of it, why does it matter? The XRPL is evolving fast. You got your AMMs, your Ripple USD bridges, new apps expanding in the ecosystem. Accessible data unlocks new opportunities for builders and analysts to move further and innovate faster. And this integration gives devs traders and XRP army the tools to build track, research. Anything on the XRPL and I would imagine the two having the structured data people will be able to put together some really simplified charts. You'll be able to take a lot of based on what you're querying or what you're putting out there, you can create a lot of cool probably posts out there on X that would make, you know, make a little more palatable because you got it. It depends what you're looking for. But I think that that's going to be sort of a huge thing. And if you look at this, this chart right here, you can see payments totally dominates at the moment. And so baselight isn't just a tool for discovering data, it's a full platform for working with the structured data. We talked about some of the things that they have, you know, the visual dashboards I think is probably one of the biggest things, both public and private data sets and 75 billion rolls of data indexed indexing is another major thing. If you know, if you've ever been involved with indexing, getting stuff indexed with 75 billion rows, that is insane. That is wild. And now XRPL is part of it. You can query, analyze, visualize the XRPL next to any data site data set on, on there. And then here we've got, if you look at this green line here at the very bottom, you can see that it peaks right around December 2024. That was right at the election. But look at, look at this trend line. So brand new accounts, you had almost 7 million new accounts coming in, 7 million. And the cumulative accounts are this blue line trend line right here, you can see that kind of just gradually goes up. But right around the time where you saw a peak, right around December 10, 2024, you see there were some other hits in there too, right around January 18th of 2025. And then it kind of like slides down again. But now you're starting to see some more activity again where it's starting to Trend up over 2 million accounts, you know, right there. So this is pretty cool. They say they're just getting started. If you build on xrp, I want your data index, you want to collaborate on research dashboards or queries, reach out or dive in. Now this is pretty, pretty cool. Let's see. I don't think I clicked on this link here. It's just talking about the data itself. So anyway, I think that's a pretty, pretty cool new development. Again, it's more enterprise grade level where you're going to be really more concerned about if you're a business, you're going to want to know a lot about what's going on. So I think that's going to be sort of a big deal. Big deal. Let's go back over to Polymarket. Thank you for that, Chad. Polymarket, yeah, Chad, can you do me a favor and look that up? Can you look up Polymarket and what they have on the rate cut? Tell Me where that's at. I would love to see that. Jim D. Says, caught in a crazy intense lightning storm yesterday while trying to get back to my condo marina after a refuel. Only five inches of visibility, flying blind. Oh, man, that's, that's nuts, man. That is crazy. Yeah, Florida has crazy, crazy torrential rainstorms. People think, oh, a storm. I'm like, oh, that's, that's summer in Florida, man. But that seems like a little bit worse than most. Joe, Buddy says he was in a squall off the coast of Spain where there's zero visibility. Screaming at the top of your lungs. Could not hear from three feet away. Ripped a stainless steel roller furling, man. He has a lot of. There's a lot of wild weather going on lately. You notice that Karma Carmichael in the building? Jim D. Says, yeah, Joe, getting close to nature can be life risky when Mother Nature is an angry mood. Doing house cleaning. Yeah, that's part of it. So they say those hurricanes are to sort of mix up the oceans and kind of some kind of a cleansing type of thing. Then we had the, then we had the, that massive earthquake in Russia and they were thinking there would be super big tsunamis hitting to the. The west coast of the United States along with Hawaii. But I don't think it ever really panned out. I think they got some ways, but I don't think it was as big as people expected, which is a good thing. Luckily they were, they were sounding the sirens and there was quite a lot of advanced warning about that. But that was like an 8.2 or something that since, I mean, 5, 5 on the Richter scale is big. 6 a 7, but an 8, 8 point something. That's a massive. And I saw a lot of videos for that too. People are just in their houses, things start falling over. What was amazing was they're shooting video. I'm like, get out of the house, man. You know, it's like you don't know if this, when this house is built, if it's going to collapse. They're sitting there filming the, the bookshelves falling over and screaming. But I'm like, no head outside. I was in an earthquake. I was in. I was traveling for businesses many years ago, but I was traveling. I was in Palm Springs actually, and I was in a. It was staying in one of these Airbnb type condos and I felt like there was a rumble, like a rumbling sound. I thought I didn't notice there's a train close by. And I was like, that's not A train. And all of a sudden I saw a crack on the wall. And I'm like, I ran outside. I'm like, nope, get outside. And it wasn't a tall one. It was like. It's just the two stories, type of like those condos. It wasn't like a high rise because then you gotta run pretty far. You don't know what's going on. Those are usually built pretty well. But I got outside, I was like, oh, my God, it's an earthquake. It was one and it was. I was in an earthquake. Two little mini earthquakes in Peru and another one in California. And people always say, well, you know, the. I would never want to live in Florida because all the hurricanes, I'm like, well, hurricanes, you know, five days, six days, something's developing, maybe even a week ahead of time. It could be coming your way, you know, three, four days. The projections. Earthquake just happens, you know, there's no advance warning. It's just like, boom, the place is going off. So, you know, you could juxtapose those next to each other and see which one is stronger, which one you think is better. I mean, it's a. It's a. It's a crapshoot when it comes to that. But, man, I don't know. I. I've been in earthquakes and there's no advanced warning. It's a. It's a little bit of weird. And Jim D. Said, I've, I've sailed. I had a yacht sail off Gibraltar, who was so intense. US Navy was not even out. Yeah, And I've gone by there on a ship before right by Gibraltar. It's a really cool seat, seeing, because when you're going through that straight right there, you can see Gibraltar on one side and Africa on the other. It's pretty cool to, to actually see it. You always look on a map, but it's actually cool to actually go by and actually be looking at both sides. You can see Africa in the distance and then you can see, you know, Gibraltar and Spain. So it's pretty, pretty freaking cool. Hurricane night, lightning storms are nothing to deal with. It's the heat and swamp ass with the humidity that sucks in Florida. Plus all the transplants from everywhere else. Yeah, mostly from New York. The people from New York came, left their city because they hated it so much. They hated everything about it. They didn't like the high taxes, they didn't like the oppression, they didn't like the crackdown. All this stuff that was going on. To go to Florida, the free state of Florida, that's a red state. They moved from a blue state which is liberally run to a red state which is run by conservatives. And then they. What do they want to do? They want to vote for those liberals again. So I'm like, you left what you hated, you left California, you left New York to go to Texas and Florida. And you want to bring that, that nonsense with you. Get out of here, man. Get the f. You know what, man? The too. Yeah, that's exactly right. Well, all of them from the northeast there, man. You can, you know, Rhode island, you know, name all those states up there. Connecticut, they're all the same, man. Once you take that whole, that whole north Northeastern from New York up, it's all. It's just a. It's a mess. Maine, it's all there, man. It's all there. I am preaching, man. But we all. Who doesn't. Who doesn't disagree with me? I mean, my God. And I grew up in New York. I grew up in western New York. But I always tell people, yeah, I can go off on New Yorkers because I am one. They go like, you're not a real New Yorker because you didn't grow up in one of the boroughs. This is how these people think. They actually think they're entitled because they live in a crap hole that never has seen a pressure washer. They don't. I don't think they sell them in New York. I don't think people have used them. The buildings are so damn dirty. They haven't been pressure washed in 50 years. There's just dirt and soot everywhere, man. The streets are dirty. And it was funny when I was at the proper party, I was at the proper party. I was walking back to my place. I was only staying three blocks over and I was walking back. Nice night. A lot of people out from the proper party. September know, nice weather, it's cool. Maybe like 60, high 60s, early low 70s. And I saw something on the corner of my eye and I saw something moving and I looked down and a rat, a giant, freaking giant rat just came out of a building. Walked right over my foot like as I'm walking, right over my foot and kept going. And I just stopped like this. And I was just like this. I was like looking at the thing and a guy was coming this direction towards me. He goes, I saw that. He goes, I saw that. Welcome to New York. I was like, yeah, welcome to New York. Rats the size of freaking small dogs. My God. It was a huge. Nelson says, growing up in Hoboken, New Jersey, across from New York was an experience I'll never forget. Now you can. You can't even afford to park your car if you have one. That's a good point. It is crazy expensive there. You know, I do love New York. I. I goof on it a lot, but I do love New York. It's just that sometimes it's. You can take it in small parts, you know, like you can't. If you. You spend too much time there, it starts to wear on you a little bit. But again, where are you going to go for great restaurants, the great things to do, you know. Yeah. Three o' clock in the morning is still going off in New York. Never sleeps. It's. It's that kind of a place. But I just feel like they could probably clean some of that stuff up once in a while and make a. Make a little. Make it a little bit better. And that certainly couldn't happen soon enough. This guy, I don't know who Handy Andy is, but he put this out. Handy Andy, I saw this. He's a founder and developer of the XRP XRMINE and the little Ledger project. Hardware software engineer with a passion for emerging technologies. He said, this was one of my favorite moments from the boot camp. He went to this XRPL Commons. They had a boot camp, a core dev bootcamp. And they had the opportunity for students to talk directly with David Schwartz, the founding core developer of the XRP Ledger and chief tech officer over at Ripple. And he joined on Zoom at XRP Pl. So Handy Annie was recounting one of his favorite moments. He said the. He said I had to ask David Schwartz about the early days when he first built Rippled. And the response really hit home. Whilst we were all there in the thick of it at the time of the lost ledgers, they were too busy building on what they thought would be a public test net soon after it had a price and there wasn't really anything they could do at that point. They recovered what they could up to the ledger sequence 3, 2, 5, 6 9. Thanks for sharing, David. That was legendary. So it's kind of cool. You get a little tidbit and someone if this doesn't get put out there, we don't. We never even hear about it. So it's cool that Handy Andy let us know what's going on there. The Ripple kind of teased this a little bit in the open to the Ripple OCC Banking license applications now available. It has a public release and you know, Wrath of Common breaks it down here. He said first and maybe Obviously Ripple is applying to charter a limited purpose OCC regulated national trust bank. This would enable custody of Ripple USD reserves and operating regulated infrastructure for tokenized finance and maybe future Fed access. And he's highlighting it right there. He also said so it will not be retail. The CRA says it doesn't apply to national banks that don't engage with any lending or deposit taking activities and whose business consists exclusively of fiduciary activities. No deposits or lending, strictly business to business banking and infrastructure. Probably obvious, but if you thought it was going to be a bank that you could utilize the bank of Ripple, that's not what it is. It's institutional only. So which is kind of what I figured, but it's good to have some clarification on that. Now that he's gone through the whole entire application, Common goes on to say this trust bank is explicitly built for Ripple USD. Notice no mention of XRP here. Conjecture it behooves Ripple to distance XRP from the bank's regulatory application to avoid conflating an OCC supervised trust bank with a token at this at this point. And that said, nothing precludes future XRP integrations. I agree 100%. You don't want anything hanging up a possible application by including crypto. If you notice the first legislation to go through, was it the crypto legislation we were waiting for for eight years? No. Was it stablecoin legislation? Of course. Because stablecoins tied, most of it is tied to the US dollar. That was a very big concern for this Trump administration as well as Congress. That's why we saw that move to the front of the line. And here having the stable coin, Ripple USD or RL USD for short, makes a lot of sense because people be like well it doesn't say xrp. Well it doesn't have to. And they're, they're focusing solely on the stable coin at this moment in time. And it's interesting because it means that Ripple Labs owns the bank, issues their own private stock to the execs. It's also interesting that it's confidential. A friend remarked that this is common for businesses interested in ipo. So I don't know what that acronym is. Ymmv. Somebody will probably tell me in the chat. Don't know all these damn acronyms. Summary we know Ripple wants a national bank charter to create banking compliance subsidiary to handle tokenization management. They're not seeking a money transmitter, license or deposit insurance. If they were granted a Fed access to they would become a real liquid infrastructure. And that kind of Tells you what they're setting up to do. Tells you a little bit about the hidden road acquisition and some of the new clients they have access to. It tells you about the cross border, you know, moving cross border payments. There's a lot tied in here but the tokenization is the next big bastion. Sort of the big big deal for Ripple and a lot of other orgs out there as well. But that's going to be a real big one. This is going to give them a lot of playing power. Also the board is stacked so far. So if you look got John McDonald, John Zavilia, you got Stuart Alderotti and Timothy Keeney. So there you go. The organizers Trust bank ours you got some players up there. You got David Puth Trust Bank. We have a five member board of directors consisting of the five organizers listed above. Trust banks social shareholder will be Ripple Labs a privately held corporation located in San Francisco, California and incorporated in Delaware. And here are the docs we're not going to go through them. Common already is nice enough to go through them for us. So he also made. He also was one of the first posts. I like them people, they respond to something, they don't say anything just say they were first and a lot of times I see people come in here and they're first. That's a little different. You're first to a broadcast but if somebody does a post a little bit different so. So it's a little bit different there. Your mileage may vary. I love, I just love that always disclaimers and everything. Man you got to have those damn disclaimers. What's going on with those disclaimers? We need disclaimers vet put this up and this is wild. Like this might have been around for a while. I have never heard of it before but that I was really happy to see this because I've always felt like there should be a place like you you can go to the XRPL docs you can go here and there but this whoever put this together, I don't know if that put this together or somebody else but it says the best site to share with Bitcoin maxis who deny facts and truth about the XRP ledger and it's simply is XRP centralized. That's it. That's the site and here it is right here is XRP centralized. So if you think about that you can type that in. I'll tell you what I'll do is I'll. I'll throw it down there in the chat so you guys can go check it out or bookmark it yourself. And it's pretty simple questions, you know. No cross border usage actually materializes. So the Hypebot online ODL is. Is empty. No on demand liquid. On demand liquidity is facilitated. Real fund flows Ripple can pick new validators anytime. So it's truly not decentralized. No recommended valor validator lists are optional. Multiple entities put publish them. Ensuring operators can reject any undesired set. So just a lot of the things you always hear. Ripples. A private corporation which is antithetical to open source crypto movements. Ripples legal battles Tain XRP's reputation. Stable coins make XRP redundant. No XRP speed, low cost and bridging efficiencies complement rather than compete with stable coins enhancing cross border flows. XRP has a CEO, so it must be centralized. No XRP ledger is decentralized. Not it's run by independent validators. Not ripple CEO who leads a company using a ledger, not controlling it. The pump and dump missing 32000 blocks. We talked a little bit about that and Handy Andy's question. No XRP is missing early ledgers from a 2012 bug. They don't hide anything. It's full state blocks to ensure total transparency. Schwartz talked about how that happened. You know, so it's just a lot of gold here, man. A lot of gold. A lot of questions. These may be the questions you might even have too. So what I like about this is it doesn't go into a long explanation. It's very succinct. Answers, right? One or two sentences. And this is great. XRP has no incentive system so it can't sustain a decentralized network. Right? Look at that. Very simple, easy questions. You're not getting long paragraphs of stuff. So if anybody was ever challenging you and giving you some of this grief. And then I love this. At the bottom it says is XRP centralized? No. So you gotta love that as well. It's always a good thing. Good thing. So guys, you type in yeti. Who's typing in yeti? I'll have to do this on the fly. We'll have to figure this out. Jim D's a good one. Vet is presuming that bitcoin maxis can read. Well, they don't read. And they are stuck on their like, they're like whatever their narratives. You could, you could give them all this stuff. They're like, no, no, it's a banker's coin. It's a banker's coin. It's this, it's that, it's Centralized. Like they still can't. They're not bright enough to disseminate between Ripple, a private centralized company, and xrp, a decentralized digital asset. They really struggle hard with that. I've gotten in so many arguments with these guys and I'm like, okay, what part aren't you understanding? So, Jim, there's a lot of truth to what you're saying there. I mean, definitely have, definitely reading, maybe comprehension. I think they can, they can read the words, but comprehending it might be a different story. Xrp, BR V. Life. Garlinghouse has said that no need for an ipo. They have plenty of cash, right. Most of the time. If you look at Circle, it made all the sense in the world for Circle to go public, right? Because if you looked at their, their income statement, like how they earn money, how they earn money was not, was like 980, $900 million went to Coinbase and then they made about 3, 400, $500,000. Like it wasn't a lot of money. Like, and, and again, a lot of that income, like generating monetization comes from the, you know, interest, right? The interest rate's high, it's good. But when interest rate starts dropping, not as good. That gave them. And, and of course it opened to like 30 some dollars, but it went way up. I don't even know where it is now. But the influx of cash for that now they got Runway. They can do all kinds of stuff. They can do acquisitions, they can build out their, their payment network. There's so many things available and that's a lot of reasons. Now the other part of it, which I think Ripple probably would shun going public, because if you've ever worked for a public company, and I've worked for many of them, you have a quarterly earnings, right? The compliance is a pain in the ass. You have to do so much damn compliance. My God, you have to, you know, you first of all. And then you got to do all the calls with, you know, because your, your stock is public. So then you got to answer to the press, you got to answer to the regulators, you got to put out these statements. They got to be accurate. Like you're, you have a full time department. All they do is generate all this stuff and it's a pain in the ass, man. Attend these, the, you know, the earnings calls and what they're doing and did they beat the street? Did they not beat the street? I don't think Ripple wants to deal with any of that. I'll be honest with you. I Don't think they want to deal with it. They're public, they're a private company, they're operating phenomenally right now. They don't need the hassle. If you think about it, do they need that hassle? Probably not. Do they need the money? Definitely not. So why would they volunteer for the firing squad? And I'm not talking about the guys with the guns, I'm talking about the person standing there. I don't think they would want to do that. I, I just don't really see it. Everyone's like, oh, and Ripple, you know, this whole thing that happened to link to, I'm like, people were buying up these shares of Ripple that you know, is like an IOU that someday if they go public, and then you got to hold it for six months if they go public. Like they're speculating on speculation. Not really a good move. I don't know. I, to me, it's like if you're an accredited investor, you can always get in an IPO anyway. I just, I don't really necessarily see the whole dust up about why people are so worried about if Ripple is going to go public or not. They do not need the money, they do not need the hassle. So I don't think that there's any reason I talked about this, but I wanted to put it up here and I wanted to put this. Guys, if you're in the area, if you're thinking about going, this would be great. It's really fun. I got to say that the proper party was a blast. I. It was even better than I expected and really the best part of it. Yeah, sure, it was great, you know, seeing Brad Garlinghouse on stage and, you know, it was, for me, it was great meeting John Deaton in person. It was the first time we had him on the podcast, I don't know, six, seven times. So we got to meet. I met him again last year in Australia. I met him. There's some other place that I met him I'm trying to think of, but just meeting people that are like minded, you know, it's like people in this community, we're all like minded, right? We kind of have the same type of groove and that's why I could say these types of meetups. And this is put on by Ripple X. So it's probably going to be a really good party. It's again, happens on Wednesday, November 5th. It's from 7 to 11. Free food and drinks. There's going to be XRP merch. It's a free Entry, but you got to be 21 or over. Registration is required, space is limited, but you have to, you have to register. Pretty simple. But what I will say is if you want to remain anonymous, make sure that you. I don't know if you can register anonymously, but I think that list will become public at some point because I saw Ange, another XRP community member had noted underneath here, right there, important notice. Once registered, your full name will be publicly visible on the website, accessible to all attendees. You want to remain anonymous, please register accordingly. Now, now here's the one caveat though I, I do know that for the proper party, I don't think you were allowed to register anonymously because they were checking IDs. There was a lot of heavy security. It was a big venue. So I don't think the, this is going to be that same type of venue. Was great seeing Lenny Kravitz, but the real fun was hanging out and running into people that were like minded. Running into people that you, you associated with for years on X, but getting to meet them in person. They come up to you and they say, hey, I'm this person or that person. Okay, great. You got to pull out your, your phone and kind of see who these people are. But anyway, I think that'd be great if you guys could make it there. I may go. I'm not 100% sure. Hodor, Hodor, put this out. This is, this is the Zaha sort of ecosystem and I'm not going to go through each one of these, but I kind of wanted to just sort of. But he, he does a lot of these great blog posts. He's really tied into the ZAHA network. Of course we know Hodor from being an XRP OG community member for many years. Guy is phenomenal. Love has taken so much and here we go. It talks about different projects out there like Coupe Remit, but I'm just gonna. Let me zoom out of this so you can kind of see Zaha Doc Proof Social. They're under merchandising of XR X Merch Marketplace. You got little Ledger, got Zow House socks. Crypto Man. You guys know Crypto man made famous when Brad Garlinghouse showed he was wearing his XRP socks in the early days of crypto. Committed to producing 100 pairs of socks for sales for Zaha fans. You got Zowhow lamps, you got Zomini, all this great stuff. Automated treasury distribution, gaming. So I didn't realize. This is cool because I didn't realize all this was going on. If you think about it, there's a lot of cool stuff going on here. And he says at the very top of this, this is an incomplete list. This is just what he knows about. But who knew that there was this much activity going on on Zada or not on Zao? What the hell is. I can't keep all these damn things straight? Zowhau. Gosh. That's it. So that's, that's a pretty cool list. I thought that was pretty good as well. So Jim D says, let's just hope the defi market makers do not get extorted into enforcing KYC or bought out by deep states Ponzi money thugs. Yeah, unfortunately the KYC is going to be an issue. You're gonna see KYC on anything that's happening. Defy. Just the way it works, man. I Swine says IPO's initial public offering of stocks, correct? That is correct. And then you have Holly Molly says holy moly says Maxis have their head so far of their ass they'll never see clear. Very clever marketing. So there you go, man. Jim D. Says, that's true. The XRPL is a weird bugger. Genesis block forever etched in the ledger history, but pales to JPEG imagery coded into bitcoin ledger blocks. That is a very good take right there, Jim D. I like that. So, yeah, that's a good one. That's another thing. It's like, oh, you want to talk about missing blocks? This is the weird thing about what I was really shocked about. And it's, it's wild to me. But because of the whole decentralization of bitcoin, all this stuff, the actual NFTs are in on the blockchain. And the problem is, is that it's expensive to store them there. So you have to do these really low res versions of them to crush them down. But man, when I say massively expensive, it's massively expensive. So yeah, I mean, if you want to talk about having that JPEG, you know, those, you know, NFTs, they're stored. It's the only blockchain that does this. Every other blockchain does not store them. They're on the blockchain, but they do, they're etched into the blockchain. So we only have five yetis, man. There's a yeti right there. You have a 1 in 5 chance right now of winning a yeti. I like those odds. Imagine if you had a one in five chance of winning the lottery. God, that would be so phenomenal. That would be so Phenomenal. And I kind of want to get into some geopolitics part of the broadcast. If you guys know Tommy Robinson, he's an outspoken individual. He's an outspoken individual who. Who really has gone in the UK Has. Sorry. Somebody. Somebody sent me a message and I was like, distracted for one second. But he's really been outspoken. He actually did some time in jail, and he did not look so healthy. It was kind of like in solitary confinement. His hair was growing crazy. Grew a beard and he. And I remember an interview with him. Somehow they let him out. I just don't think it was. It was a good look to have one of the most outspoken people in this sort of a jail cell. Not a good look at all. So he put out a video, and I was. I was kind of surprised, but the more I started listening to what he was talking about, it kind of made a lot of sense. But I want to play a little bit for you. I'm not going to play the whole thing. It's kind of long and we got to move on to some other things. Or maybe I will. Let's see. But let's listen to them because, you know, the Reform UK Party, which is sort of run by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage, you know, is a good friend to Trump. And a lot of the. A lot of the sort of political opinions that I thought he held, Tommy Robinson sort of dispels it here. So I was kind of. I was kind of, in a way, a little bit shocked because I kind of felt like you just. I made a lot of assumptions that this was it. So this Tommy Robinson makes lands a lot of good points. Let's listen in.
- [41:47]
Jeff
What political option do we have in the uk? That's the question.
- [41:50]
Chip
Yeah.
- [41:51]
Jeff
And most people would say reform. Unfortunately, I don't see Nigel Farage as an option. I see Nigel Farage's speeches about preparing ourselves for the 2050 demographical change of Islamic community in this country and that we have to make peace with Islam. Okay, we don't. We need to stop that. That's my opinion. So as I look and I look at what political options there were, because I'm politically homeless, there's no political party that I support. So as I'm looking, I then saw Ben Habib. I like Ben Habib. I've watched him for many years. I believe he's loyal and principled, and he's continually stood up for democracy and free speech. He stood up for me at times. But then when I sat and looked and I saw Howard Cox, many People stood up for me in reform. They didn't know me, they didn't personally know me. They stood up for free speech and stood up for some of the work I've done highlighting Islamic extremist rape gangs. Yeah. And they lost their position. They were kicked out of reform. How Equal. Cox was kicked out. Many people were kicked out. If you speak against Islam, you're kicked out of reform. If you speak against transgenderism, you were kicked out of reform. How can you have a political party that we believe is going to solve our problems, that doesn't even believe in free speech? You can't. And John Fly's cousin currently does. HE LAUGHS do you know why? HE LAUGHS because if you don't like labor and you don't like Conservatives, who are you going to vote for? If you're fed up and want to stop the boats and stop all these things, who are you going to vote for? There's no other option but him. So he doesn't care. He's even sitting there. He laughed about Rupert Lowe, he laughed about Benhabib. You're irrelevant, all of you. Because he knows there's no other party.
- [43:13]
Chip
Yeah.
- [43:14]
Jeff
So I know some people will be upset with this, some reform supporters, Reform members. Unfortunately, Nigel needs a shock and he needs to realise that there is another. Another political option other than reform. And I see that as Ben Habib. I see that as advance uk. I'm today joining advance as a member. I've told many people I don't want to be in politics, I don't want to be a politician. I want to run a cultural movement, I want to do my journalism. That's what I've always wanted to do. But I want there to be a political option for the movement and I hope that would have been Nigel. You saw the appeals I made to reform. Please stop lying about us. Please stop. Just stop. Be the political party for the country. Be the political party that will stop immigration, that will do mass deportations. But time and time again, Nigel's told us he's not going to do mass deportations. He doesn't care about the demographic change to our country. All the things you think he represents, he no longer does. He's bringing in the left. He's going to be more left wing than Conservatives. That's not what this country needs. Every other country in Europe has a populist leader who's speaking for the people. We don't, unfortunately. So I am joining Advanced uk. I'd advise you to join Advanced uk. Hopefully, if their membership soars, I think Our movement of free speech and our movement of needs a political home. And I'm sorry, it's not Nigel Farage. It's not reformed. And that is why I'm showing loyalty to Howard Cox, loyalty to all the counselors that resigned from, from Reform UK because of the lies Nigel told.
- [44:40]
Chip
Okay, so there you go. So that's interesting. I was kind of surprised by that. But Jim D. May have just hit that nail right on the head. He says, just shut up, plebian, and vote for the corrupt plan A or B, then go back to sharecropping. Yeah, you know what? When you don't have the guns, you can't have a revolution. We have a revolution with knives. I mean, but I'm not so sure I'd be worried about the, the police and the army because they don't have guns and they don't really seem to be able to handle themselves. When I watch 3 cops get their ass kicked by one person in, in a, in a, in, in the tube station, I'm like, you know, that's not very good. So this is where we. They don't even have. I don't think they even have tasers. I mean, they're the most ineffective police force in the world. I don't think they have a standing army. I don't know. Even if they do, I mean, I don't think they can protect themselves. They're absolute joke all around. It's. This is not going to end well. It either is going to be the. There's going to be an uprising. They're going to want to take it back. But I liken it to the Revolutionary War. You remember that they were redcoats marching four across in a straight line and they were, you know, they had the, yeah, the patriots, just with little, you know, an old style rifle. You had a packet and gunpowder and then you'd pop them in the head. They were just picking them off. You know, they were sitting in trees and they were sitting on the side of the road and they just kept marching along. They were good soldiers. And guess what? We have the same thing. There's a culture there of good soldiers do the right thing, complain and yell, but do nothing about it. So it's going to take a real revolution there. I don't see anything else happening outside of that if you don't have a revolution. Jim D's right. Okay. You can put these other guys in. The problem is, is parliament is still a mess. Kind of like our Congress here in the United States is that when you have the conservative side, but the half the conservatives are RINOs, Republican in name only. You know, you just basically shooting yourself in the foot all the time. Like I was going at it with Thomas Massie, I'm like, yeah, Massie was the only one brave enough to put out the audit the Fed bill, but he's opposed everything else. I'm like, dude, you one right isn't going to wipe out everything you're wrong about. And opposing the will of the American people and Trump's agenda. People voted for Trump, they wanted his agenda. They went all in on that. You don't have to agree with everything he does, but to not vote for anything. I'm sorry, man, you got to go. You know, I applaud you for your end audit the Fed bill, but it can't be just one thing that's going to save you if you're against the will of the people on pretty much nearly everything else. So I wanted to put this up because Tommy Robinson talked about his. There's his video right there. And then Benhabib, which he was thanking in the, you know, talking about in the video, Ben Habib says, thank you Tommy for joining endorsing Advanced uk. There's millions of politically homeless British citizens. Ever since the biggest vote in our history to leave the eu, the political class has turned its back on us. The vote to leave was a vote for our country, our borders, our democracy and our laws. It was a vote against the globalist order. But we really never left the eu. Our borders remained dangerously wide open. Reform engaged. Carrying the flame of hope for the silent majority helped light the flame. Sadly, reform has lost its way. It views the contempt swaths of law abiding British citizens, denouncing them as that lot. And we're all one lot. The British people said another way, we the people. But that's a very polite way to say the lot, right. Very British colloquialism. It refused to recognize that your imprisonment last year was politically motivated. It mattered not whether Farage liked or disliked you. He had to stand for the principle of free speech and equality under the law. Instead he sought favor with the establishment. I knew some time ago a new force is needed in British politics. Advance UK is that force. The British people no longer need to be politically homeless. All British citizens are warmly welcome to join our party. We welcome the fearlessly for our nation, culture, freedoms, democracy and equality under the law. We will not falter in working for a proud, independent, prosperous United Kingdom. We are neither left nor right. We stand for a country and all Its part for its people. Well, you are. This whole thing of like we're not left or right. Sorry man. You are right. You are either right or you're wrong. And that's the left. Let us unite with purpose. Encourage our future together. Anytime these people start saying, oh no, we're, there's no late, we're no labels. There's no labels here. We're just, we're just people who want all the best. Yeah. It happens to be everything the right believes in. So there you go. You are right. You can say whatever you want to try to attract who you want, but that's also playing the establishment. I commented and said the bigger issue is you don't have the constitution that protects free speech, let alone the right to bear arms. Even if Advance UK wins, the next party in power will easily undo everything that is achieved. Either draft the proper constitution or update the parliament acts to enshrine free speech and the right to bear arms. Two things that will never happen. I have that on my never will happen list. That will never happen. Okay. Because if you think about the United States is coming up on 250 years since we broke away from from England. Right. And the king, 250 years. We celebrate next July 4th less than a year away. And you want to know something? In 250 years, not one person stood back and said, you know what, you know something? I'm just wondering. Constitution feels that the United States, you know, a constitution that tells limits the government what they can do, tells the government what they can't do and talks about what the people. Because it was drafted by the people. Not one country over the 200 plus countries on earth. Not one country thought, yeah, that's not a bad idea. Not one. And you think it'll happen in the uk? No. You think they'll ever have be able to carry guns? Never. Do you think? Not unless there's a revolution. If you have an uprising and they take over their country, do you see that happening? No. They're good soldiers. They march in a straight line. They don't. I would love to see it happen. I am hoping and praying it happens. I just don't necessarily see it in the cards and I think Jim D. Called it. You're either voting vote for corrupt plan A or a corrupt plan B. B. And that's how it works. That is exactly how it works. That's a good point too. Jeff says the actions determine if you're right or left, not what you say. Correct. You know, that's how it works. Maybe compromise on Right to bear arms, no claws or required nail clipping every month. So I love you guys. You guys make me laugh so damn hard. What else we have here? What else is in the grab bag? What else do we have? Oh, I saw this. Now if you guys know Tiffany Fong, Internet personality, she put up this. Now this is playing on the whole the, the Sydney Sweeney where the blue, the jeans, the American Eagle ad, all that stuff she posted this obviously generated by AI, but she said my jeans are yellow and she happens to be Asian. So she's making a plot play and a joke about it. And I applaud somebody who is willing to, you know what, what is missing largely from the culture in the US and other parts of the world. Whereas if you go back 20, 30 years, the things you were allowed to say, the self deprecating humor that used to be there is no longer there. So for you to be Asian of Asian origin and then say my jeans are yellow with an explanation point and then post a post photo of you, you know, similar sort of a pose, I have to applaud that. And, and what was funny about that is somebody took that and they animated that. And let me see if I have that one. Let me see if I can find that one. Yeah, here we go. So somebody took that and posted that. Then she went ahead and posted that again. My jeans are yellow. But somebody posted this and it down from my parents before me and their parents before them. My jeans are yellow. Tiffany Fong has yellow jeans. So there you go. Self deprecating humor. You gotta love goes against everything the establishment is for. It makes fun of, you know, she's, she's making light and fun of her race. Obviously, you know, often referred to in a negative way as yellow. So this whole idea of her being able to put this out is absolutely just amazing. So I, I, I think that it's just something really, really fantastic. Yeah, and this is Eisen's bringing up a good point. Like Don Rickles was probably one of the funniest, my favorite comedians of all time. If you don't know who he is, go back, just search, even search Johnny, Johnny Carson. We used to do a late night show with Don Rickles and you will see some of the funniest bits ever. He just roasted everyone. He also had these roasts where he would just tear you down apart. Race, religion, none of that stuff was, was sacred. He would go after everybody and it was some of the funniest stuff you'll ever see. And you, you, you, you know, everything got so Politically correct. We don't have that anymore. It's just gotten so ridiculous. Yeah. And also too, George Carlin died. Comedy is taking a down tour. We need more George Carlin and Bill Hicks in the world. Yeah, I agree with. Carlin was phenomenal. There'll never be another one like Carlin who had such an intellectual take on humor. And his humor was so deep and effective and stuff he talked about 20 years ago still incredibly relevant. So just an amazing. Yeah. Riff. Rick Hose was ruthless, but funny man. I mean, he was absolutely just. Just you. You would just, you would just laugh incredibly hard. So I really have to say that I love that and I wanted to say this. So let's want to put up another video here. Let me see if I can go ahead. As I'm. As I'm looking through it here because I've got so many. Here's one. Look at this. This is how the left responded to the, to the Sydney Sweeney video. What you have is her on the top. If you listen on the podcast, she's in the top doing her thing about her jeans. And on the bottom you have about 20 different upset liberal screaming and yelling into the, into the, into the camera. That's not too much. I can't take much more of that. But that's pretty much how it went down. It was funny for somebody to actually compile that, but that's, that's pretty much how it, how it ended up going, man. I mean, there wasn't any. Now what I love, I have to say what I really love is that American Eagle is doubling down. Okay, look at. They put this up here. Hi. They said Sydney Sweeney. Go ahead. Sydney Sweeney has great genes, is and always will be about the jeans, her jeans. Her story will continue to celebrate how everyone wears their. Their American Eagle jeans with confidence. Their way great jeans look good on everyone. And so they double down. They're not gonna. They're not gonna change or do anything because of. Of political pressure, whatever. But you know what? Here's the funny thing that happened. Stock soaring. Okay. And the jeans sold out. Does that tell you anything? Of course they're not going to double down. So what it's. What it's doing is sending a signal out there to way it works. That's how it works. So. Hi, I'm Sydney Sweeney and I'm from Spokane, Washington. I can work as a local hire as well, though. And I am available for the American Eagle jeans campaign shoot. Profile and hands, please. Thanks. We'll be in touch. Has very canes next. There you Go. So I don't know if that was staged like that, but it looks like an audition for the ad. I don't know if that was staged, but anyway, that was pretty funny. I love that. And I'll tell you what's interesting is that if you, if you are not paying attention and if you didn't see the Bud Light debacle, two plus years later, that brand is on struggle street. Bud Light people are still not buying it. They, despite them putting up American, you know, these commercials and macho and all this stuff people remember, man, they're like, they're not that stupid. But look at this. How about this? Jaguar went Bud Light mode. And now the CEO is out after a viral woke ad with no cars, no men, no clue, Jaguar CEO is stepping down. Here's how. Going woke wrecked one of the most iconic luxury brands. Trump coined the phrase go woke, go broke. Charlie Gasparino from Fox Business wrote a whole book about it. This right here. Copy nothing. You would want to copy any of this stuff. This is, this is. I don't even know what this is. It's like, it's like the worst student film you've ever seen. It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Jaguar CEO Adrian Mardell is retiring just months after launching a rebrand that looked like it came straight from Dylan Mulvaney's PR team. The ad campaign, no cars, no heritage. Just androgynous models. Bright color slogans like Delete ordinary Break molds. The slogan was copy nothing. The 30 second spot featured a man in a dress allowed gender bending fashion. Zero actual vehicles. It wasn't a car commercial. It was a political statement. Jaguar owners were not amused. This is. I'm not even gonna. This is. I mean, I'm showing on screen, but I'm not gonna put the sound on. But it was just a joke, man. The whole thing was absolute joke. Live, vivid. Ooh, Live vivid. Delete ordinary. I mean, doing something shocking for the sake of shocking, breaking molds. I mean, it's just dumb. All around dumb. Wearing stuff that no one would ever wear. Conservatives on X torched it. Robbie. Starbucks said, this made me want to sell my Jaguar. And I don't even own a Jaguar Bud Light 2.0. They completely misread the moment, said X. John. And with 47 million views in 24 hours, the backlash went global. There you go. That was horrific. Then came Jaguar's next PR nightmare. A brand new electric vehicle design. That critique that critics nicknamed the pink Batmobile. They called it Exuberant the Internet called it embarrassing because it was embarrassing. There it is right there. They actually launched this. The pink Batmobile. That's exactly what it looks like. And just, just enough. This whole idea of tying into this madness and tying it back to that stupid commercial, a big misstep. Jaguar defended it all. This is a bold and imaginative reinvention. But car buyers don't want gender theory. They want performance, beauty, taste. They won't get it. Jaguar now only makes f pace crossover. No sedans, no sports cars, no, no convertibles. And so if I wanted a stupid crossover, I could get it from literally any other company on earth. What is this trash they're serving up now for a long time? Jag owner, I can tell you, I buy Jaguar for its classic style. It's gasoline powered roar and its unique history. Let's be clear, Jaguar is abandoned by its own customer base. High end car buyers don't want rainbow Marxism on wheels. This is the same mistake Bud Light made. Same woke playbook, same humiliating crash. Jaguar went woke and as a result it went broken. Let this be a lesson. The vibe shift is real. Brand loyalty has limits. Go woke, go broke isn't a meme, it's a market law. Jaguar needs to bring back the cars they always love. And that iconic Jaguar with the iconic type. They just, they got rid of the Jaguar. They put some goofy hand drawn type, which is a big no no in, in the, in the design world. It's just an absolute, an absolute joke. This guy, Rod Martin puts out good stuff. I always like, I always enjoy his, his breakdowns. Always a very good thing to see. And let's see what else we're coming up on the one hour mark. A couple other things I want to show before we go ahead and get into it. I wanted to show this. Hopefully we don't get any penalized for this, but this is, this is fantastic right here. But let's listen, let's see if you recognize any of the characters in this rabbit. If you had one shot, one opportunity to means everything you ever wanted in one moment Would you capture it or let it slip? Yo. His palms are sweaty he's weak arms are hippy his vomit I'm a sweater already, mom. He's nervous what's on the surface?
- [61:23]
Tommy Robinson
He looks calm and ready Drop the.
- [61:24]
Senator Kennedy
Bombs but he keeps on forgetting when.
- [61:27]
Chip
He broke down the whole crowd goes so loud he opens his mouth but the words won't come out he's joking.
- [61:33]
Jeff
How everybody's joking now the clocks run.
- [61:36]
Chip
Out Time's up over snap Back to reality. Oh, there goes gravity. Oh, there goes gravity Choked he's so mad but he won't give up that easy no, he won't have it he.
- [61:47]
Tiffany Fong
Knows his whole look is ropes don't.
- [61:49]
Chip
Matter he's dope, he knows that he's.
- [61:51]
Senator Kennedy
Broke, stagnant he knows when he goes.
- [61:53]
Chip
Back to his mobile home that's when it's back to the lab again. Yeah, this old rhapsody better go capture this moment no, don't pass it.
- [62:01]
Tommy Robinson
Lose yourself in the music the moment.
- [62:03]
Senator Kennedy
You own you better never let it go.
- [62:05]
Chip
You only get one shot do not miss your chance this opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better lose yourself in the music the better every let it go, you only get one shot not miss your chance to blow this.
- [62:20]
Jeff
Opportunity comes once in a lifetime.
- [62:22]
Chip
You better soul escaping through this hole that is gaping this world for the taking make me king remove to order you well bored normal life is boring. Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys a taste of what that was. I found that pretty clever and well put together. So that was pretty slow. There's my girl Monica. There she is. And Trump introduced the Council on Fitness. This is great. There used to be something in the US called a presidential fitness test. You had to do in school and they got rid of that. I don't even know when they got rid of it. I don't. I know as I grew up with it, but this is Trump sort of announcing that I'm delighted to be here with some of the truly great sports legends of all time. As we formally announce the newest members of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. We have an opportunity to literally change the fabric of kids lives. And our first initiative is to bring back President's Fitness Test. I think that time is so important. Obesity is the highest it's ever been. Mental health, as we all know, the need ought to be tackled.
- [63:26]
Senator Kennedy
Help make our youth healthy.
- [63:28]
Chip
Help get them engaged in sports and let them learn what it takes to be successful in life.
- [63:34]
Senator Kennedy
Kids are healthier, they're happier, they do better with they're out there, they're being.
- [63:38]
Chip
Active, they're playing in sports, they're hanging.
- [63:39]
Senator Kennedy
Out with their friends.
- [63:41]
Chip
Reinstill a spirit of competition and that.
- [63:44]
Tommy Robinson
Spirit and that commitment to nutrition and physical fitness. And I'm so grateful to President Trump for your leadership and bringing this back for our country.
- [63:57]
Chip
There you go. That was posted on the official White House account, which is fantastic. Also, what else we have here, I want to do. Senator Kennedy's at it again. You know, Kennedy Always drops these great one liners. This is a pretty good one right here, too. Let's listen in here.
- [64:15]
Tommy Robinson
I'm supposed to sign up people for Medicaid who make too much money. And I regret to say this, I don't know why, but it's human nature. Some people don't tell the truth. Under President Biden, he encouraged the states not to check income eligibility. Just take everybody's word for it. Well, you know, you've probably heard me say this before, but I trust people. But I also, when I play poker, I play with friends. They're good friends of mine, but I always cut the cards. I believe in the old adage, trust in God, but tie up your camel. Anyway. If the President sends a message to the states, don't worry about checking if people are making too much money. Guess what? Some people are going to cheat. And they do. I wish they didn't, but they do.
- [65:22]
Chip
I love that. Trust in God, but remember to tie up your camel. Only, only Senator Kennedy can come up with these, these funny one liners. And then moving right across, too. I wanted to talk about this. The media totally remember how they went like nuclear on Trump's trade strategy. Well, let's watch this. This was also released on the official White House Ex account. Are upsetting the entire world economy. Tariffs have brought in more than 124 billion billion in revenue. And the White House expects the United States to see a total of $300 billion. US stocks have also extended their record run on trade optimism. All while inflation cools under Trump. This is an economic Armageddon. Prices on imported goods are falling since President Trump's second term. Undercutting that narrative that the tariffs are fueling inflation.
- [66:15]
Tommy Robinson
It shows the opposite.
- [66:16]
Chip
Those that predict said that prices were going to rise, inflation was going to jump. We're not seeing that. Donald Trump poured gasoline on our global economy and lit a match with his devastating trade. There were people who said that the tariffs were going to increase inflation in a massive way. They haven't. They said this trade war was going to align the world against the United States.
- [66:37]
Jeff
Is going to be China and the.
- [66:38]
Chip
World aligned against the United States. That didn't happen.
- [66:41]
Senator Kennedy
It was the exact opposite.
- [66:43]
Chip
They said that he was a taco president and it looked like the world chickened out. And I remember you said you can't win a trade war. No one wins a trade war. Well, we just did. I have to say I'm very impressed with the level of quality that comes out of the White House. And I'm actually Kind of shocked at some of the stuff that they actually put out there. It is shocking in a lot of ways, only because you're like, wait a minute, that's the official White House account. You have to say that Charles Tamarello is pointing something out, too. Joey Swall, you guys don't know about him. He talks about great gym culture. I love Joey Swall. I've tried to get him on the show a couple times because he's a huge XRP fan. He's also tried to get Brad Garlinghouse to follow him. He's like, you know, his tagline is, you need to do better. So I've been following Joey Swall for a while and excited to say, too, that Joey Swall, look at this right here. Follows me. Only follows 200 people out of 1.1 million followers. The fact that he follows me is, like, amazing. Phenomenal. That Joey Swall. But he says he's the CEO of Gym Positivity. He did a great video on this, too, where he said there has to be somebody to point it out. And I'm not going to stop and talking about. He's basically talking about people who are sitting there with their cameras and filming inside of, you know, gyms and making fun of people. And he goes after them. A lot of times he gets them banned from the gym, but sometimes they double down on stupid. They find out and they go after him. Well, yeah, the left didn't like that. They wanted to cancel him. And he's having no part of it whatsoever. He does a very positive thing. He talks to the camera, always in his. Usually his vehicle. It's. His videos are fantastic. So I really do applaud what he's done. Let's see. Let me see. Why is this. See, I can't play this because. Yeah, he's. So this woman here is making fun of people in the gym. And there's a song that I can't play, which is why I can't play the video. Then she's going over here, and I can play this. So let me just go ahead and unstop this for a second, and then I will go ahead and have to reshare it. Let's see. Let me share it again so we can hear the audio here. And let's go here. There we go. So you saw the video. Here's a girl in a gym making fun of other people. Because the way they're exercising, this what keeps a lot of people from going to gyms, they don't really know what to do. Sometimes they get a trainer. But again, this whole idea of filming inside of gyms, people aren't there to be in your videos or to be made fun of. They're there to work out. They're there and who cares? A lot of times they make fun of people that are overweight. You know what? They're in the gym. They're at least there, they're trying to make a difference. So making fun of people, he's doing a great thing and getting canceled is absolutely pathetic. And this is what I love about the show, because it's a rabbit hole. You get to go down this stuff. But here, let's listen. So we saw the video of making fun and it says there on screen, don't you wish we had someone to call out the bullies in the gym? Here it comes.
- [69:53]
Senator Kennedy
We do me, love me or hate me, I am not going anywhere and you are not going to cancel me. I just needed a few days to step back, to breathe, to get my mind right. And over those few days, I received thousands and thousands of messages from people telling me, do not quit. How much I help and inspire them, including messages giving me a good kick in the ass that I needed to get back up. So I am not quitting and I am done apologizing. I'm going to continue making videos, calling out bullies, being a voice for the people that can't defend themselves, and making the gym community and the world a better place, as I have done for years, starting with this video right here. To this young woman, you want to criticize that other woman for the exercises that she does? First off, there is nothing wrong with the exercises that she is doing. You're a bodybuilder. Maybe you have different goals than her. Or. Or is it that because you're bigger than her, you have muscle, that you think you're better than her and can treat her this way? If you really cared, why don't you go over and help her, teach her some of those exercises. But no, you'd rather take a video of her to post online to make fun of her for likes and attention. You need to do better. Not be perfect, but you need to do better. And I really hope you do.
- [71:22]
Chip
There you go. Joey Swall. You heard it. Yeah, thanks for bringing it up, Charles. I. I always love the fact that you guys are always bringing stuff up, you know, it's really good. Yeah, the presidential fitness program was intense. Used to be sore for days after I competed. Back in the day, I could do 60 pull pull ups, but never ran fast enough yeah, pull ups were my strong. I could always run pretty fast. Bullets were a challenge, not gonna lie. But that was a good thing. The shame he canceled himself. I like his message. Yeah, I mean, you know when people come down hard on you and, you know, you have a kind of a presence and you're doing something, he took a couple days and said, hell no, man, I'm doubling down. He's doing a good thing. And sometimes people would attack him. Like he. There was people that said, you know what, I saw your video and I kind of thought, you know, maybe one out of ten will come back and say, you know what? That wasn't the right thing. You were right. I made a mistake. That'll never happen again. And he applauds that. Right. But if you double down on stupid and go after it, he will go. He'll. He'll, you know, a lot of times he gets people canceled and a lot of people that were made fun of in these videos reach out to him and say thank you for. For reaching out and letting me know. I mean, that was a good thing. So, so anyway, we have this two more videos and we're going to go ahead and do the drawing. We'll get out of here, but here we go. Set the way for the whole planet.

Tiffany Fong
By committing to stopping oil. The problem I have is, is this idea. The one group of people have to stop decided that they are the ones to save the world. How dare you question us because we know what's right. I'm going to glue my hand to some tarmac and then I'm going to be a martyr and I'm going to be a good person while the rest of us can't get on with our day. I'm more than twice her age. You know, I've got kids, I've got a job, I've got an elderly mother. We have to get on with our life. I can't afford an electric car. I can't afford a heat pump. Most people can't afford that. It's about ego. There's no doubt that we've had a winter without any, any protest. But as soon as the sun comes out, oh, it's eco festival time. And it is a festival. It's a big jamboree. It's. Let's get on social media, let's sit down with a placard. Let's advertise to my friends what a great person I am while the rest ordinary people who have to go to work can't get to work.
- [73:27]
Chip
What's your response? I'M just, I just can't believe, I just can't believe that that's what you're saying. Did you see the other person sitting there was like fuming. She's biting her lip and you know, that's so spot on. I saw that video and it's like, yeah, you've, you've deemed yourselves the saviors of the world, but no other opinions matter. This is absolutely just silly, ridiculous. And I believe that this dinner, I remember this is back in 2015. I think this was really when Trump decided to run because this video here was when he got made fun of. He was at this dinner was, I think it's, I think it was the White House dinner where they, they make fun of the, has the guy's name Edmund, Ed Newman or something, something like that. It's a dinner where they, correspondence dinner where they, all the press goes there and then and celebrities go there and they just make fun of the president and blah, blah. A lot, a lot of roasting type of stuff. Usually pretty soft jokes. And Trump's been at a couple of. But this is one he attended when Obama was president and Obama went after him. But also, you know, the guy that runs this other late night show, I remember the joke he told, he said, you know, it's funny that Trump's thinking about running for president because I always thought he was, he was running as a joke, you know, and Trump sat there the whole time, no expression, looked straight ahead, didn't react. But this was the, this was some, of course, you know, everybody has to do the baby Trump. Baby Trump, baby Obama. So this is the, basically what happened at that dinner, but with babies, right? So, you know, baby fied them. So this is it. Now even in this video, I don't think Trump looked around. I think that was, I remember him looking straight ahead and we'll play that and maybe a future broadcast. But that was something, I think that was a turning point when he said, oh yeah, I'm going to run, I'm going to win is here tonight.
- [75:14]
Senator Kennedy
Now I know that he's taken some flack lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. Like did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?
- [75:52]
Chip
There you have it. Yeah, we drawn a baby Trump segment at least when we have it. So there it is. Was that, See respect. Thank you for that. Respect. Hit the like button, guys. Hit the like button. You think it's like I. You know, you always hear any kind of. Any kind of content creators on YouTube say that because it matters. You know, if you hit the like button, it helps the algorithm a lot. People watch videos. They don't always like it. I do it myself. I watch a video and I forget to like it. But liking it is what helps the video climb and be shown to more people. Not our videos. Because we're a shadow ban. We are. Nobody gets our alerts. We don't get. I never get any alert of us going live ever. So if you don't know it's on, if you don't know every once in a while, randomly, you might get one. We lose thought. We lose at least 10 subscribers a week, so it negates any positive advancements we've made. And that's just kind of how it works. Unfortunately, that's the way it is, people. And we've come to grips with that. It just is. We got 15 in here, guys. 15. That's not a lot. One more chance to run the. Eddie, we're not on the song because Jeff's not here. There's a lot going on. Show prep and thumbnail creation and all that stuff. So I'm not doing the songs. I will give away the Yetis, but I'm not doing the songs. I'm trying to think of one to give away here. And I think. Let's see, let's see. I think we're gonna give away this guy right here. This guy right there. We're gonna give away Schrader. Schraylinger from the Blue Tribe. He is from the Shiver Spine. I don't think we've had a Shiver Spine in a while, but let me throw that up there so you guys can see what you're actually going to be winning. We have 16 in there, so you have a really great shot of winning. There it is, right there. That. Check it out. Ready? Look at that. Angry. Look at the angry eyes, man. Very angry. Holy cow. So anyway, that's what we're going to be giving away here. Let's go ahead and let's go to the drawing piece of this here. Let's go to this here. And let me get the tune cranked up here. Let's see. Where is the. Nope. What they did was they got. They redid this and now I can't see. Nope. Man, I don't know. They screwed everything up. Now I can't read the titles because they're Squished together. No, man. Holy cow. They totally. Well, I can't even play that because I don't. I don't see it anymore. Sadly, sadly, sadly, no roasted beans. Nope. There we go. There we go, people. So now let's go to this. We got 17 people in here. I'm gonna go ahead and pull it, guys. Let's see what we have here. Let's go. Flatliner wins a badass Yeti. Are you here, man? Are you here? I don't know if I saw you in here, but let me know if you're in here since you comment. But you gotta comment. You gotta come in there and say, I'm here. So we know YouTube can't handle the truth. Yeet. Come on, chill. There's no dress rehearsal. Dress rehearsal. Sing the music. Yeah, there you go. Okay, there you go. Mine. He called it. Right there. Mine called it. So he is here indeed. Look at that, man. Sometimes people will call it mine. And you are absolutely right. You did win. So I'm gonna need your wallet, address, and I'm also gonna need your X handle if you have one. If you don't, let us know. You don't have an X handle. And I will be putting that up a little bit later today. So let's see here. I'm going to need that. We'll go ahead and transfer that. We'll get it going, which would be awesome. Okay, I don't see a chiming in. Oh, there. He says here. Okay, gotcha. So, guys, let me know when he puts it up, because I got to go to a different screen to be able to do this. This. It's incredibly annoying. It's the way it works, unfortunately. Incredibly annoying badass yetis. Okay, there you go. Enough of the badass yetis. There we go. There we go. Ray run says congrats.

Big mystery. Oh, my goodness. All right, well, this is again, does not make for good podcast, so I had to paste it somewhere else. It starts with an RB and it ends with a. What does it end with? Something else. Okay, okay, let me see if we dub this right. And what yeti. What Yeti is this? 339 Yeti. 339 is the one you're winning.

It's. It's a pain miss doing the show by yourself, man. No, no, good. Thank you and good night. It's. It's not a lot of fun, and I'm not a big fan of, like, giving away these yetis because it does slow the broadcast down, but that's all the show we got here tonight, Jeff's still in South Korea. And he. I did chat with him. He just was in a location that he couldn't go live. We may see him tomorrow night. If he's in a location because it's morning there. I want to say it's like 9 in the. 9am in the morning? No, no, that's at night. So it would be night time for him. I think it's like maybe 9. 00pm or later. I don't know how many hours.

See you guys in the next one.
