Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Jeff. Jeff.
Chip
Jeff. What is going on with co host Jeff? I'm co host Chip. God. Oh, my. It's a good open right now. This is called the cold open, man.
Jeff
My God. That's hilarious.
Chip
All right.
Jeff
I don't think I've ever messed up.
Chip
Why don't we cut. Why don't we cut that out? We'll restart it. Ready? Let's restart.
Jeff
Two, one. Hey. Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on, everyone? What's going on, Chip? Tell you what's going on. XRP crypto sec exposed. We're going to dig into that because they were definitely exposed. Trump revolution, especially in the crypto space, but really across geopolitics as a whole. And then if you guys were paying attention, Zelensky came over here for more billions and billions of dollars. More Democrats slush fund. That was a public smackdown. We got to talk about that. See how that all factors into the geopolitical scenario and how crypto is going to solve all your problems.
Chip
Every one of them, Jeff. Except for getting the open.
Jeff
Except for the open. But even crypto solved that too, because we put it on the blockchain.
Chip
Damn straight we did. Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain. Welcome, everybody. Drop where you're coming in from. Crypto investigator says good morning, United States and the world. President Trump and Vice President Vance. Exactly what I voted for. Exactly what we voted for. We voted for a strong, strong, strong United States. Not a weak, feeble, put your head between your legs and hope for the best type of thing. Look at this. Out of the blue. Right on target, man. XRP plumbing comes in with the massive super sticker. Love to see that. Thank you, man. Setting the tone for today's show, right? Love it. We got Saratoga, New York is in the house. Look at that. There's our first yeti. Guys. Type in yeti. There will be a yeti giveaway today.
Jeff
From the blue tribe. I'll be picking one out and it might even be a mentalist. We gave a kick ass mentalist away Wednesday night, man. That was a kick ass mentalist.
Chip
There you go.
Jeff
Love the Mentalist, man. We've got who we got coming in here. He said Saratoga, New York. We've got Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We've got the UK people coming in from all over the world.
Chip
The purple Ferret Gomerin is in here. He's live in the house. I love it.
Jeff
Nice.
Chip
Never see him pop in, but it's Great. Right? Let's be late over there.
Jeff
Look at that coffee.
Chip
That was better than WWE Raw. It certainly was. And I even thought it was somewhat restrained, quite honestly. I mean, it could have been. Been a lot crazier, but, oh, man, it could have been. He's a little bit late. Don't worry. You're never later than we are, so don't worry about that. Everything is all good. It's all good. We got the yetis coming in. You got the Aussies in here. Robert, Dish. What's going on, Sydney? Beautiful, beautiful morning, says Laurel. So, yeah, before we get to that, though, we're going to talk about. So there was. There was ETH Denver, and one of the keynote speakers was not other than David Schwartz, and he gave a great presentation. Fortunately, it. It wasn't. Well, I guess there was a lot of side events going on. So, like, the main stage looked pretty empty, at least the shots that I saw of it. Not like what you would expect and maybe. And it wasn't just David Schwartz. It was a lot of the speakers because there was a lot of other things going on. And then you can, you know, you can take a shot early in the morning, but even when people were on stage, it wasn't full capacity like it should have been. But I don't know, a lot of people said there were some other things going on, but I wanted to play a little bit of that presentation. Just one outtake, because the whole interview, I think, is like 15 or 16 minutes long. So we don't want to watch the entire thing, but we do want to just kind of give you a little bit of taste, what it looked like. And before. And Jeff, before. Let me just say this. Let me just say this. This is hilarious to me because I want to. I want to put this. Here we go. So this is it. Today. I'm going to play this clip here. Before I do that, I want to put on the. Share my screen here. Let's do this real quick. But before I do this. So the person. Why can't I do that? Oh, you know why. Okay.
Jeff
Oh, why are you doing that? Chip, figure that out. It says, in a way, a badass yeti shiver spine.
Chip
I can't see this guy. What's going on?
Jeff
What was the last time we saw a badass yeti from the Blue Tribe? A shiver spine. And these guys, they are terrifying just to look. They look into your eyes and they send a shiver down your spine. Hence the shiver spines. These guys are badass. And we got one here ready to Give away today. That one's really cool. This is the Blue Tribe. There's a problem with the one that's up here.
Chip
I can't share anyone that's here.
David Schwartz
The David, $5 million in token.
Chip
No, that's not it. I wanted, I wanted to share something else. Unfortunately, my screen doesn't share. I've seen it. That's weird. Yeah, because it does. Because it's broken, Jeff. That's why you don't see it. I keep getting an error message on the screen. It says it's sharing it and nothing's being shared.
Jeff
Maybe close that tab. Maybe there's something wrong with the tab.
Chip
There's something wrong.
Jeff
It ran out of memory right back.
Chip
Let me, let me log out and come back.
Jeff
Chip is logging out and coming back in. All right, so what are we going to talk about while Chip's gone? This is great. We got all sorts of time, but hey, want to talk? Kind of get into detail of some of the things that we have to, we have to dig into and what we witnessed, you know, with the, the whole Zelinski thing. And the reason why this is going to be relevant on, on an entire, from a geopolitical stage perspective is really making sure that. Well, there, there are a couple things if we back up. There are a couple things that transpired over the past, you know, week. Last week, Elon Musk put out a big notice. There was a 48 hour timeline for people within federal government to list five things that they did. Just, just five things they did the week before. There were a slew of news news spots where they specifically started to focus in on how these employees didn't have enough time to respond. There was one that stood out where he had a CNN CNN post or newscast post where they're interviewing federal employees. So somehow the federal employee has enough time to schedule a time slot with cnn, has enough time to prepare for an interview with cnn, has enough time to get on with cnn, but didn't have enough time to respond to an email. A 48 hour time slot to respond to an email with five things they did the day prior or the week prior. Now it was even beyond that. You know, when we look at how the Trump administration is orchestrating his organized, they're 100 plain, like, you know, if there was 3D chess, if you ever saw, you know, those episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation back in the day and they had like a multi layer game. No idea what the game was called, you know, but let's call that like three dimensional, you Know, chess of some sort. That's what the Trump administration is playing. All these other guys, they're not playing chess. They're not playing checkers. I still think they're playing marbles, you know, and it's, it's crazy, the disconnect and how much further ahead. But if we look at, you know, just from the perspective of what transpired with Elon Musk a week ago, and a big part of that was, yes, can we get rid of some of the fat? There's going to be a lot of people that didn't respond. That was a resignation notice. The other part of it is some of the things that they were finding is that there were still people on federal salary with emails that no longer went to anybody. And so they were filtering out, you know, dead emails, looking for corruption, looking for deception, looking for dead people. All the methodology of slush funding. You wonder why, you know, all these big media sources have all these, you know, billions of dollars. You wonder how all these Democrats are getting paid. You wonder where the lobbyist money is coming from. How is it all. There's all this slush fund within the federal government that's coming from our tax dollars. So there's so many components to what we're witnessing. And then you fast forward to what happened yesterday, you know, with Zelensky, you know, coming over here, and this has been, you know, this has been ongoing. Chip and I were talking about this. This isn't something that happened a week ago. It's not something that happened a year ago. This has been years in the making. Multiple administration stacked up, you know, to get to a point where we're at right now. And the Democrats for more than 12 years, you know, played a very dangerous game. And we're seeing what happened and how it unfolded. And so we have to really identify that. We also have to identify that for since from like 2015, the Democrats started building a narrative of Russian collusion. They started building a narrative of, you know, Russian buyouts, of, you know, Trump was somehow affiliated, Tulsi Gabbard was somehow affiliated. And they started to create this fictitious narrative. But it's dangerous because you had some top level people, including a Secretary of state who was Hillary Clinton at the time, playing and orchestrating a game like this. And you think about how close you can come to war, because we're talking about they're playing a game with a nuclear power that isn't going to be so friendly, that also has certain status on the global stage that they're vying for, you know, for, for many different reasons. And, you know, when we consider that and then we also consider the dynamic of what's happening in the Ukraine, we consider the dynamic of what Russia has been doing and had done in the Middle east. What Russia, you know, the, the perception of NATO influence against Russia, you know, how you see that kind of within almost like a quasi kind of Cold War stature or status. You know, there's so many different aspects to what we're witnessing. And most people just see the media soundbite, but they're not considering all these other points that are being stacked up that have been stacked up over many, many years. And you get to a scenario where all of a sudden, now we're in the danger zone. And what they and they want that they want to orchestrate it. It's almost like when you're playing hot potato, right? You're trying to figure out how do you now stick this person with that hot potato? So that's the Democrats are trying to play this game and the Rhinos and the Deep State and all of this. They want to play that game. They wanted to stick, you know, this administration somehow with a hot potato. But now this, you know, for Multiple years, the 3D chess game has been orchestrated and being played. And the powers that be in the Deep State or the Democrats, the Rhinos, whatever, are being outmaneuvered at every step, at every stage. And this is not just in the US it's on a it's a global phenomena, you know, and so this is the direction that we're moving in now. Let's start fighting for some transparency. Let's get transparency in ACT. Let's see where Elon Musk goes worth, what, 30, 35, you know, days into this whole narrative, you know, going on maybe 40 days soon, but we're, we're about a month in, a little over a month in, and you see the amount of accomplishment, you know, now once they start cleaning out the fat and they get a clear picture of where we're at now, they can start moving things in the right direction. You know, it's almost like, you know, you're in your garden and it's filled with weeds. You're not going to keep planting roses until you get rid of the weeds. But to get rid of the weeds, you got to kill the weeds, you know, and you got to get rid of the roots. And that's what they're working on right now. They got to get the weeds, chop the weeds down, kill all the roots, pull all the roots out, make sure they don't leave any roots in. Because if you leave the roots, they grow back. And so there. This is a lot of work, but we see the accomplishment in 30 days is chip. I. I've never seen.
Chip
Jeff, you know what I didn't have in my bingo card today? A garden analogy. That was not on my.
Jeff
That was not on the.
Chip
That wasn't on a bingo card today. I didn't know that was gonna. We're gonna get a garden analogy. It was pretty good. I know that you guys. There's some complaints in the chat about the sharing the screen, but I couldn't share anything. It was, I was getting weird errors. But I want. This is important because David Schwartz was at East Denver. He was on the stage for about maybe 17, 18 minutes. He was talking about smart contracts, programmability, the next wave of D5, real world assets tokenization. And what I want to point out here is something really important. This right here is Camille Russo. Camille Russo started the Defiant. She's from the Defiant. And I, when they first got started, when she first started this up, I reached out to her and I said, hey, why don't you come on the show? Why don't you come on the podcast? I was saying, why don't you come on join us? And you know what she said? She declined because she said we talked too much about Ripple and xrp. And I said, we talk about a lot of different crypto. And she said, all I saw was Ripple and xrp. Sorry, not interested.
Jeff
You know why? Because she only looked at our headlines.
Chip
Well, she. But I'm just saying. So that's what. So fast forward today and how interesting is it to see how the landscape shifted? Look at how times have changed. Now she's sitting there pretending to be interested in David Schwartz and what he's saying. So we're going to watch this segment. Of course she's got it. Of course he's. He's representing Ripple and she's got the Defiant, but I just find it so incredibly ridiculous. He's out there on stage and she was like interviewing the guy who basically created the xrpl, which is phenomenal. So it's funny. And I'm waiting to see how scared they are. I'm waiting to see if she's gonna respond to this because let's see if she even has the decency to respond to it. Yeah, right. And then Gov straxlers. I said, yeah, everyone seems to be wanting to jump on the bandwagon now. Kind of like being a Cowboys fan in the 80s.
Jeff
What a good point.
Chip
You know, it's like oh, now it's cool to be part of Ripple, right? So it's like.
Jeff
That's right.
Chip
This is the whole reason I wanted to share that thing. But I want to play a little bit of the video. With 17 minutes we can't play the whole thing. I'm sure maybe other folks have. If you haven't seen it, you can go out there and watch it. It's actually really well done. David Schwartz is just on point on everything so it's really fun to see, to see him light up the stage and especially being invited to speak at East Denver, which I think is fantastic as there's going to be a lot of interoperability with Ethereum as well.
David Schwartz
But here we are holding $5 million in tokenized treasuries. The amount of margin that the issuer is making is microscopic. Your yield is microscopic, the margins are microscopic. So they're going to, we're going to bring enterprises in for dumb reasons like it saves them money, it's more transparent. They are not going to understand that it's going to do the same thing that stablecoins do. People use stablecoins for use cases that they could never use any other asset for like this. You can't use a non on chain asset as collateral for some DEFI application. And what's going to happen is they're going to learn that by tokenizing these real world assets all of a sudden they're going to realize that like they have, they can target brand new use cases, you know, brand new applications, brand new user base. So the strategy is to add the features necessary to get that enterprise adoption that paves for away from mass retail adoption. We're not going to see mass retail adoption of DEFI in the next year, a year and a half because all of the defi applications are basically gambling. I mean they're either recreational applications or gambling applications. If we want to like take over finance, we need the really boring we I need a checking account, I need a savings account, I need a retirement account, I need a stock portfolio, I need sensible investments, I need the equivalent of certificates of deposit. We have to build all the boring stuff and enterprises are what's going to make that possible. So the strategy is over the next year and a half to two years bring in the enterprises with these features around tokenized. They're going to do it for dumb reasons. Many, some of them will be visionaries, some of them will see this vision and they'll come to blockchains because they Understand that it's like revolutionizing finance, but a lot of them will be here just because it's cheaper and faster and it works on weekends and it has these tiny little advantages that are better is better. Right. If I go to you and I say I have something better, you don't have to believe me that it's going to change the world, it's enough for you that it's better. And then hopefully in a year and a half to two years, we can really turn that corner to sort of mass retail adoption.
Chip
What'd you think about what he said there, Jeff?
Jeff
Think he's spot on.
Chip
Freaking spot on, man.
Jeff
Everything he's talking about for the adoption purpose, you need all the things you talked about. Savings account, checking account, you need to figure out, you know, retirement investment accounts. There's so many components. He's talking about the retail side of it, but to get to the retail side of it, you need the institution buy in. If you don't have the institution buy in, we're still wild west, you know, there's going to be no, no adoption now. Institution. The names can change, Chip. You know, it could be, you know, upholding might be the next bank of America. Well, you know, we don't know that. You know, there could be a changeover of, of company, you know, and, and we had talked about that years ago. I still don't know where, where it ends up, Chip, you know, which one comes first? You know, is it the banks that start buying out the crypto houses, exchanges or to the exchanges start buying out the banks? Because we talked about that. Which one is really going to be first to market from, from that perspective, you know, who is going to have the largest footprint in retail, in the retail space? Who makes that happen?
Chip
Buy them all.
Jeff
Well, they've got the money. You know, a couple years ago, you know, FTX fictitiously had all the money. You know, a lot of these, you know, big exchanges, you know, had a lot of money. You know, Binance had a lot of money and they were making a lot of progress. And then the powers that be started pushing back, you know, and really making a detrimental impact on the footprint that they were solidifying. So it's an interesting dynamic, you know, so it's good to see David Schwartz saying that.
Chip
Yeah, that's a great.
Jeff
He has the vision. Yep.
Chip
It's a really well done interview and he's really on point and it's, it's, it's amazing to see that he had to go to East Denver to deliver this conversation. But Again, you got to get it out to more masses. And, you know, I like the fact that he's at East Denver because this whole maxism is just getting out of hand, you know, especially with the bitcoin. You know, just say bitcoin, don't say crypto, say bitcoin. It's all bitcoin. Like, it's such a. It's such a limiting conversation. It's like, you know, like I made a comment on one of these. One of these posts today. I'm like, this is the same guy that thinks there's only one stock to buy. I mean, that's the sound. It's pathetic. Like, where Eth maxis. And she's an Eth maxi. That's why she's at there. But I think she's opening up. I think that people are starting to get a little bit more broader in scope. You know, it's. It's like the guys that run. What's the other. Those other two Eth Maxis. Bankless. Yeah, Bankless. Bankless. Also leftists. They are leftists and bankless. And they were the ones. And they're still rally. They think that they have a whole different opinion on what happened yesterday. Not.
Jeff
But.
Chip
And I said, yeah, that worked out so well with the last administration and. And the big pivot to. To crypto from the last administration. Right. It's all a bunch of smoke and mirrors. So it doesn't really mean anything. It's just. It's. It's. To me, it's just pretty foolish. But what are you gonna do? I mean, Jeff, there's all kinds of. There's all kinds of shenanigans going on today. But you know what, guys? If you get a chance to go watch that whole entire thing, I would go out there and watch it, because it's fantastic. I wanted to. Man, it's messed all my screens up. What in the heck? David Sachs posted this, which I think is pretty cool. The SEC has released guidance that meme coins are not securities and are akin to collectibles. And it's nice that they come out and say that. It's fun that they say that. But where were they six months ago? Where were they a year ago? Well, that's because Gary Gensler was running the show, and now there's some new leadership, and they're like a bunch of kids running around because dad isn't there yet because they haven't confirmed, you know, the new SEC chair. So they've got a temporary chair, and they're, like, running around saying, look at how cool we are. We're making all this guidance and I hate to break it to the SEC but you're not going to have anything to do with crypto so you can make all the guidance you want because no one gives a rats behind about you. Why? Because it'll be the CFTC and when the new crypto legislation passes we'll say au revoir almost forever. Institutional still deal on the security side. There will still the crypto will still be deemed security in certain in situations. But as far as for the masses, as far as what we care about the SEC will have nothing to do with it Jeff and this is great. The OCC put guidance their meme coins. Who cares? Who cares? You don't even matter anymore and and you know, thinking that this is important. This is only important for one reason, Jeff and you know the reason the new sheriff that's in town. Otherwise you don't go around running around doing this because had there not been a new sheriff named Donald J. Trump, you wouldn't be doing any of this. As soon as Trump was elected, the SEC became irrelevant. You know and only thing that's relevance in this world has to do with gosh, I feel like I'm going on my rant segment Jeff. It drives me so crazy that people care about the sec. Here's Stu Alderati chiming in on it as well. He said the beauty of the SEC's statement on meme coins is its simplicity. The question for the SEC is whether something falls under its jurisdiction, not whether it's legal or illegal. If fraud occurs, other agencies can act. Interesting how we position that. Jeff. That's right. The guidance sticks to the law and the precedent, avoiding vague concepts like decentralization. Meme coins aren't securities because they don't confer rights to income, profits or assets. Their value comes from the market sentiment, not from managerial efforts. And without investment in a common enterprise, there's no investment contract. We're still going back to Howie but that is going to change shortly as well. This doesn't have to be complicated. Well it is complicated now because we're going back to 1947 and the Howie Test, 1933 and 34 securities laws. When the new legislation passes, that won't mean bumpkus. It'll be done over with history because 33 and 34 will be amended. The Howie case will still apply, maybe in some cases to securities when the SEC is regulating, but the CFTC will be the governing body of crypto and the SEC is going to be irrelevant because nobody even talk about anymore. Because nobody cares. That's right. Pretty much. There's my rent for the day. There you go. That's my rant for the day. What do you think about that?
Jeff
I like your rant. It's exactly it.
Chip
Look at this.
Jeff
On.
Chip
Look at this. We're on. We're on today, Jeff. We're gonna deal. So David Sachs also, he's. If you don't know who he is, he is the crypto czar. And the AI are right? Yeah. And he said Trump. Now look at this, Jeff. This is what I. Now if we could have just gotten about like, let's say six, eight months ago when we were calling all this, go on a time machine and say, yeah, we've been to the future on March 1st and on March 7th, President Trump will host the first White House Crypto Summit. That's right, the first White House Crypto Summit. Friday, March 7th. Attendees will include prominent founders, CEOs, investors from the crypto industry. Look forward to seeing everyone there. What do you think's going to be there?
Jeff
Who's going to be there?
Chip
Well, I'll tell you, probably the top 10 cryptos.
Jeff
I hope so.
Chip
You'll probably see. Stu Alderadi will probably be there, along with Garling House. I don't know if, if everyone will be there, but I mean, this is. How legendary is this? The President's Working Group on Digital assets. Some will be chaired by White House AI and crypto czar David Sachs, administered by the working group's executive, Bo Hines. This is this. When we said on January 20, it's all changed and everyone's running around. I can't believe the SEC is making all this great. No, man, the. The give credit where credit sue the SEC is useless. You know why? And I, I even said even I posted something on one at one of. I'm trying to think of who posted it now, but I said, yeah, you know what? Someone said, why, why not? Why not? Why not Ripple? How come they're dismissing all these other cases? And I'm like, because they want the, they want Ripple to come in and register first. That's why. Remember this? Remember that whole thing? We issued new guidance on registration and we made it easier to come and register. Yeah. Gary Gensler, 2.0. We're friendlier, right? We're the, we're the other. We're the people that are going to do it better. It's like when they look at that, Jeff, See that? Balloons. Balloons. Do you see that? Balloons. I love balloons. They're gonna. It's just like every time you feel like, yo, well, that dictator didn't do a good job. I'm going to be a better dictator because I'm going to be better at it. Right? This is the time. Every time communism is tried, they go like, no, no. They just, they didn't know how to implement communism. If we do it our way, it's going to be way better. The SEC got the new kids on the block and Hester Purse, who's always, she's always, you know, the bridesmaid, never the bride. She gets passed over. She's like, I'm crypto mom. In the meanwhile, he's like, let's see, there's thousands of other people out there. Yeah, let's pick one of them. Oh, I'm sorry, crypto mom. We didn't make you SEC chair. Sorry. It ain't happening. SEC chair not passing her by. No, that's what it looks like. And Jeff, I couldn't be more proud of Byron Donalds. We had him on here on the, on the podcast. He has officially thrown his hat in. He is officially a candidate for the governor of the free state of Florida. And I couldn't be happier to watch to listen to Elizabeth Warren squeal like a pig. Look at this. Florida Republican Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds reintroduced legislation in the House today that would abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And if you don't know what the CFPB is, do you know anything about that? Well, that is the useless organization that Warren was behind, and it's going away and she's going to start squealing like the pig that she is that's gonna squeal. So it's called Repeal the CFPB Act. Originally introduced by Donaldson23, it's the latest effort by House Republicans to codify President Trump's promise to reign in government overreach. Take out the agency that conservatives believe should not exist. People close to Donald's told me the CFPB is the brainchild of progressive Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren was created in the aftermath of 2008 crisis of the Dodd Frank reforms, which were pathetic, to provide an extra layer of regulation over banks that focused on consumer issues. You see how they do this, Jeff? Because we're looking out for you. We're the government and we're looking out for you. And what did they do? She gets into the agency, long been criticized by conservatives as a needless expansion of government since many layers of bank regulation already exist. Critics say the agency also had a weak record of uncovering fraud, usually bringing cases, but only after the media exposed the alleged fraud. During Trump's first term as president, the agency was headed by officials who sought a less confrontational approach to the private sector. It assumed its more activist role during the Biden years. Now, with Trump back in office, there's an effort to severely limit the agent's authority. Donald's bill, co sponsored by Republicans Rep. Ogles and Ralph Norman, goes a step further. It entirely repeals the Consumer Financial Protection act, which created the CFPB and was essentially will abolish the agency. From its inception, the Dodd bank. The CFPB served as a left wing tool to stifle domestic economic growth, target political opponents and prevent development of competition. That's all has to be said about that. This is really, Jeff, there's so much winning. I can't, I don't know if I can handle all the winning.
Jeff
It's non stop winning like every day. It's really, it's amazing. It's so impressive. Just the sheer amount of winning that we're witnessing.
Chip
It's winning, it's winning, it's winning, it's winning. Let's play the smackdown. Let's get to the good video, Jeff. Let's play this. Let's get smackdown. Let's get to the video because this stuff is just fantastic. Gosh, I would, I, you know, I was so busy yesterday and also my phone started blowing up. My brother's like, dude, have you seen? Have you seen? And I was like, what? That's so my brother and my dad were both blowing my phone up like said to me, stop videos. And I was like, I had no idea. I was just, I was grinding all day yesterday. But here we go, talking about the.
Zelensky
Kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country.
Chip
Yes.
Trump
But if you.
David Schwartz
Mr. President, Mr. President, with respect, I.
Zelensky
Think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have man power problems. You should be thanking the president.
Chip
Oh. As he said that this morning, I watched a mother take, trying to take their like the, the teenage son away. She's screaming, grabbing them. They're trying to throw him in the back car because they take them to the front lines. This is, this is what Vance is calling out, that they're forcing people to go to the front lines. They're not volunteering anymore. There's Nobody to volunteer. They've lost over a million people.
Zelensky
This is right to bring it into this.
Trump
Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?
Chip
See, this is. This is what you call. This is what you call a very, very rookie move. Have you ever been to Ukraine? Have you seen the problems, Bro, we've seen it 247 for the last three years. Okay. And he pulls out. Do. Have you been to Ukraine? Don't play.
Zelensky
I have been to come once. I have actually. I've actually watched and seen the stories. And I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour. Mr. President, do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military? And do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?
Trump
A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning.
Chip
Sure.
Trump
First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future.
Chip
Okay, here's the first. Okay, mistake number two. Do not threaten the United States.
Jeff
Right?
Chip
Not threaten us, Bro. You did not just say there's an ocean between us. It can be right next to us, bro. But there is not going to be. Did he just say that like he thinks he's. Oh, you have an ocean. Soon you will feel it. Trump's sitting back, chilling. Trump's getting involved now.
Vance
You don't know that.
Trump
God bless. God bless. You will not have war.
Vance
Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.
Trump
I'm not telling you because you're in.
Vance
No position to dictate that.
David Schwartz
Remember this.
Vance
You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good. We're going to feel very good and very strong.
Jeff
Strong.
Trump
You will feel influence.
Vance
You're right now not in a very good position. You've allowed to be in a very beginning. And he happens to be right about.
Trump
From the very beginning of the war.
Vance
You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now with us. You start having cards right now. You don't wear your playing cards. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III. You're gambling with World War 3. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, far more than a lot of people said they should have have.
Jeff
You said thank you once a lot of times.
Chip
Even today, you said thank you.
Trump
Even today.
Zelensky
You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who spent trying to save your country your ass.
Chip
There you go. Jeff, what are your, what are your comments on this? Where do you start?
Jeff
Really, man? I mean, on so many different levels. You know, first of all, I get it. Hey, you know what? We're sitting here in t shirts. Oh, you got your professional tell, you got a collared shirt on. You know, I mean, but there's some places that you go that just out of respect for the office, respect out of where you're going to be. So first and foremost, don't show up as a, as a military dictator. You're not on the battlefield. Don't wear your shirt with your, you know, pitchfork or whatever that is on his shirt. You know, he, he keeps showing up in, in front of u. S. Congress and everywhere in some sort of like gymnastic, you know, gear on or, you know, he's wearing his military gear. Hey, are you, are you really out there on the battlefield, you know, living in the trenches or are you living in your palace, you know, in, in the Ukraine? I, I don't know. There's still so little media that's come out of, that's come out of the Ukraine and out of Russia over what's actually happened over there. But to see this behavior and to see the argumentative, you know, mentality of it, he knows he's having his money taken away. He knows, you know, and the other part is, is that this has been a complete slush fund, you know, for too many years. There's already evidence that it's shown that money was going from the democrats, from the u. S. Taxpayer over to Ukraine, Ukraine over to ftx, FTX back into the hands of the democrats. They saw that entire chain. The media talked about it when it was happening, how much money disappeared. He said, you know, they say, oh, we sent 200 billion. He said he only received a hundred billion. Where's the other 100 billion? How much money has been filtered? Why is his wife going out on shopping sprees in, in Europe, you know, buying all luxury goods? Now, I'm not saying the guy wasn't wealthy before. He was supposedly a popular comedic actor, you know, in the country. So, you know, I mean, the guy could be worth millions. I'M not gonna disparage where they go shopping, but you're in the middle of a war. If you're in a war torn zone or war zone up and, and you're, and people are dying, why is your wife on video laughing and shopping at all these high end stores? You know, I mean, I just, I think there's a disconnect on such a massive level about what's been happening. And then you come in front of the country because you're a representative and you say, hey, we need the support, we need the help. Here's what's happening. Russia's on our doorstep now. The only reason why we're at where we're at with regards to Russia and the Ukraine, Russia flex their muscles. The Democrats spent, you know, 2015 and really before that, it been going on a long time, but 2015, Russia's evil. Russia is evil. Russia is evil. Russia is the enemy. Right? They wanted to go back into that 1980s Cold War where the Soviet Union and the US were butting heads with each other. Russia had been delegated way down the list of priorities. Obama resurrected them in the Middle east, put them back in, standing in Syria and elsewhere during the Bush years, Russia had dropped down significantly. Obama resurrected them, they started coming back. You know, then we saw, you know, Trump basically turned it around as well. Biden put them on a whole different level, a whole, you know, and just elevated him even further. But we had that 2015 period where they're just constantly aggressively going after Russia. What do you expect them to do? Just sit on, on the sidelines and not say anything? You know, and then it's like, oh, we're putting NATO in your backyard. We're going to have Ukraine be part of NATO. We're going to put missiles on you, on your border. We're going to do all this. And then there's, you know, other components to it. We don't have to get into all the details of it.
Chip
Thank God.
Jeff
It's too Russia's. You know, Russia is definitely, you know, not doing things that are beneficial on a global stage or to the U.S. however, how do you expect them to react when you're constantly hammering them right? They're not saying anything. They're manipulating their pieces. Just like the US and Europe and everyone else is moving pieces around the chessboard on a global stage. Taking advantage of resources in Africa and taking advantage of this country in South America and taking care of, you know, taking advantage of this country in Asia. That's what all these big super power power players have been doing all these years and it's kind of been expected and accepted and they're moving pieces around. As soon as you come out as country leaders, especially as a superpower, and you start verbally attacking every single day in the media, Putin, Russia's evil, Putin's bad, Putin's bad. Put all of a sudden, right? And then NATO. Hey, by the way, not only we saying this from the highest level of the US Government, right? And we see the corruptive nature of what Biden did within the Ukraine, you know, making huge amounts of money for his kid, right? And then Biden wanted to, you know, go back to Obama when he was VP singled out, you know, from a legal perspective, went after them in the Ukraine. There was huge amounts of COVID up. There's all these different pieces that are being moved around. We're, we're at the brink of World War Three and it's because of Obama, it's because of Hillary Clinton and it's because of Joe Biden. Three people that brought us to the brink of World War III with, with Russia, with North Korea, with China, you know, because of the fact they're abrasive mentality, not from a, a negotiating perspective. You have Trump out there and he's just like, hey, this is what I want. This is what we're going to do if you don't do this. Here's my response to you. But at the end of the day, we got to negotiate. We got to get along and figure out how we're going to live in this world, right? He knows, right? You have bad people in the world, you have good people, you got to figure out the median so we're not going to be at each other's throats and everyone can prosper, right? You stay out of here. We'll do this, you do that. Negotiate. That's what Trump's trying to do right now. And now it's a matter, let's end this conflict that's going on for like four, how many years. We're spending billions and billions of dollars. They're losing lives and they're going to, it's going to be an endless conflict. And again, Biden is the one who kept injecting and pouring cash in there. Biden was so destructive to the world stage and the Democrats and people don't recognize how destructive they were in the Middle East. Even this whole thing with the Hamas, you know, Israel conflict, you have a, a terrorist organization that massacred 1200 Israelis. Massacre them in such a way that is just inhumane. It's just crazy. Then they kidnapped hundreds, and then, you know, Israel has to go in and fight a war to now take, get their hostages back and get rid of these terrorists. That. And while the surrounding Middle east is going to attack them, you know, but the point being is that the first thing they wanted to do out of the gate was shut the electric, shut the water, shut the food, cut them off right at the knees and say, hey, we're going to put a, a siege around this area. And within a short period of time, they would have cave. What does Biden administration do? Nope. You got to give them fuel, you got to give them electricity, you got to give them everything so they can, you know, humanitarian. While the Biden administration is pouring millions and millions and billions of dollars into the terrorist hands to prop them up. Right. So a year and a half later, the terrorists are still fighting back with American taxpayer dollars. So that's there. And then we look at what's happening in Ukraine, and then you look at other parts of the world, and then you start thinking, who's moving money around? Where's the money going? Who's benefiting from it? And then you look at the congressional representatives and the senators that are worth tens of millions of dollars making $180,000 a year, and then you start scratching your head and wonder where all the money goes. Jeff, you know my rant of the.
Chip
Day, Chip, it was a good rant too. And, and you know, the funny thing is the Vietnam war, which went on for way too long, I think it was like 10 plus years, right? It ended in 70. That war lost 550, 000 U.S. it's estimated right now within three years, over a million are dead on both sides. And they say up to upwards of a million. I don't think they know the true death. I think probably masking a little bit, but they think even as high as 800, 000 on the Ukrainian side, you're talking about brothers, you know, sons, fathers that are dead, that will never propagate, they will never have families because of stupidity and everything. Jeff, labeled of the Biden administration, people are dead. And they're putting more people and young people and they're running out of young people. And now they're starting to put, you know, 30s, 40s, 50s. There's people in their 60s now going to the front line and getting slaughtered for what. It's ridiculous. Then you got this bozo comes in the White House. All he had to do is sign a deal, shut his mouth. But it doesn't, it's not going to bode well for him when the actual, his actual. I was talking to a friend who's Ukrainian and he actually said that he thought that Russia was, you know, the whole thing with NATO and what happened and overthrowing the government and everything else. He actually thought, even being Ukrainian. But he lived in the Russian speaking part. He didn't like a lot what was going on over there in his country as well with the Russian speaking part and them trying to change the language and turning stuff back and. And he felt like it crossed the line as well, even though he's Ukrainian. Right. He's like. He felt. Felt like. But what he's happy about is he thinks this war is going to end. That was before everything blew up yesterday. But there's going to be a ceasefire. I wanted to put some of this. It's not a cryptocurrency show. Geopolitical and once in a while, very political because it's all tied in, man. This is why the decentralization is here. Right? Right.
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
Chip
XRP Blum says he's a puppet. He's gonna do what he's told. And if they wield in another piano into the Oval Office, Trump would. Would have slapped him and said, play the piano with your butt cheeks. Andy S. Says, I think, as Trump said, he just played his last hand. Ceasefire is coming soon. Even Trump said he wanted to, you know, remit and, and Trump said he didn't have time.
Jeff
Right.
Chip
That's right.
Jeff
That's what going to mediate it and, and put an end to it.
Chip
You know, hey, Russia, America is not going to look at Kiev, say like one week. Whatever happens that time, we won't see. Raf Rican says, you know, things are bad when Lindsay Olenkram distance off from him, especially when he took a picture of him and the Democrats in the movie in the morning. Well, look, I had that video. So this is. This shocked me. I mean, there's a lot of things that shocked me yesterday. This may have been the most shocking of all because I'm like, what kind of crazy town's going on? But here's Lindsey Graham.
Jeff
President Trump was in a very good mood last night. Somebody asked me, am I embarrassed about Trump? I have never been more proud of the President. I was very proud of JD Vance standing up for our country. We want to be helpful. What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful and I don't know if we could ever do business with Zelinsky again. Right. It's got to be removed But, I.
Chip
Mean, this is Lindsey Graham, the biggest rhino of them all, right? The one that was kissing the feet of Zelensky in the morning, taking photographs with them, meeting with him last week, and, you know, with all the Democrats, like, having lunch and, oh, you know, bowing down before him. And, you know, even. Even a rhino can tell you when you come in, you don't disrespect the country. You know, how would you do that? I mean, why would you go come into the country and act like a fool? I mean. And some people say he looked all coked up, too, which is a distinct possibility. Kevin Sorbol said, I've never seen someone ask for money by insulting the lender. Must be a new strategy.
Jeff
It is a new strategy. The whole thing was, you know, was just embarrassing on. On multiple different levels, you know, and the thing is, all they're asking for, look, we want accountability. We want to know where the money's going. We want to put an end to this. You can't keep fighting. And this is. Again, the Biden administration wanted the endless war there. They wanted to keep fighting. That's why for years prior to that, there was, you know, really pushing this narrative. Now, Russia is going to do what Russia does. They're going to do bad things, you know, on a. On a global stage to. To impact the US Potentially. You got to negotiate through that. You know, things are going to happen, and, you know, they always have. Soviet Union and the US Butted heads for many, many years during the Cold War war era, you know, and now, you know, Russia, you know, he's trying. They're trying to rebuild at least some semblance of stature on a global stage. And, you know, again, you know, it's. It just. It's amazing.
Chip
Jeff, could we get some trade yetis? Like, plumber, yetis, electrician, yetis, carpenter Yetis.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
Well, there is a yeti tribe that is our carpenters. They are tools. So we do have. We do sort of have a trade electrician.
Jeff
There are no electricians, though.
Chip
I think they just go wherever they are, man. I don't think there's.
Jeff
And there's no plumbing, right?
Chip
No plumbing, but they. There are. There are some carpenter yetis, for sure.
Jeff
Yeah. And to that point, Chip, check it. Check this out. I just put this together, so I thought it would be cool to put up here. Let's see how it comes together. Let's see.
Chip
I love it, Jeff. It's awesome. It's the first time I'm seeing it, too.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
What's the word? Of the day yet. High yeti E T I. That is right there. Colin has spot on. We've got 19 entries into it, guys, so you're gonna be a chance. It's gonna be good. Zelensky didn't give Graham a kickback back from Ukraine. Graham is a rhino. Never trust them. I never do. But at least he came out and did something. It's just like I always say, a broken clock, right? Twice a day. That's. You're gonna get lucky once in a while, but it's very rare. But here we go. This. This is Chamath Palabatia. Says the most incredible thing that I've ever seen. He got slapped for A, having a poor hand. B, pushing the world to the brink of World War three, C, for not saying thank you for billions in aids, and D, for campaigning against the President, helping his opponent in the election and in front of the media for every American to see in real time. So what's he talking about when he says he's campaigning for the opposition? Well, funny you should ask that, Jeff, because I got the video right here. I don't know if I have it right here. I gotta go through 16 videos to find it. Let me see where it is. Where's the damn video? Do I have it? There it is. Look at this. Here he is with Governor Shapiro. Governor Shapiro signing a. He's autographing a missile. I mean, perhaps Pennsylvania campaigning. Autographing and putting a little method writing it on. Remember that?
Jeff
I do, yeah. Yeah.
Chip
Yep. I do remember that, Jeff.
Jeff
The missiles.
Chip
And, and. And it was funny. Advance called him out for that. He also called. I mean, so much happened in a little span of time that was just on the spot. There was no. Like, let's. This isn't like a TV show where let's rehearse a lot lines. This was. And you know what the. The difference was when you saw Pence, who. I hated Pence so much. I thought he was such a douchebag. I still think he's a big douchebag. I never liked him. I didn't like him as governor. I didn't like him as a talk show host. He was another rhino jackass. And you see the difference between. I've never seen Jeff name a VP that's been as strong as Vance. Vance already has the job. Like we're going to be. We're going to the White House for the next 12 years. 12 years at least is the guy. He is just absolutely a force to be reckoned with. If you don't know his story. Go, go watch the movie based on his life. Have you watched it yet or what? Read the book.
Jeff
I have not. No. I need to.
Chip
Yeah. It's. It's just so moving to see where this, where J.D. vance came from. The extreme poverty, drug addiction, mother, just a horrible life. Thank God he had a grandmother who straightened herself out from being drug addicted. And she was the one that was that said, you need to get an education, you need to go do big things in life. And he did. And if he hadn't had that grandmother, who knows what happened? A guy like J.D. vance. But if you don't think a guy from extreme poverty can rise up and become the vice president, you know, I'm telling you, man, it's a Hillbilly Effigy is the name of the book that he wrote back when no one didn't knew who JD Vance was. And they made a movie on Netflix called for the same name, Hillbilly Effigy. I recommend you watch it. If you want to know about his background, if you do some research on the guy, it's. He didn't have a silver spoon in his mouth. He fought tooth and nail for everything that he has. He's got a powerful wife behind him. And it's a great story to watch him grow up to the point of where he gets into college and then, you know, you don't see the next part of that. But he overcame. And yeah, he's definitely the next president, without a doubt. There's no doubt about it, man. There's not even a. There's not even like a small wonderance about it. But I want to say some people show some people who chimed in about it. I love these takes right here. What I like is that these aren't like maybe they're powerful influencers, I don't know. But I see on my feed all the time, this was like, people just show up on my feed and they're like, just voicing their opinion. It's good to see because we're tired of the talking heads on the, on tv. And I want to hear what people think about this. This dude has a great take.
Lindsey Graham
You see the way Trump talks to Zelensky? That's what we've been missing.
Chip
That's right.
Jeff
That's what. Exactly what we've been missing.
Chip
See, this is it. That's what we voted for. He nailed it right there. That's what we voted for, dude.
Lindsey Graham
That's what we've been missing. That's what I voted for. That's what I've been looking.
Jeff
Hell, yeah. That's what we've been voting for.
Lindsey Graham
Somebody talking with it. You know who you talking to? This America. You better be humble when you walk up in here making demands. Who you think you talking to? This. Big Trump and Big Vance. And I like how Vance stepped right in. Trump sat back like a G. Trump came in. No, no, no, no. I got this. I got this. Big homie. Hey, bro, you need to check yourself. We're doing you a favor. The United States does not need Ukraine. We could sit back and let Russia destroy y'all, so you better come with some humility, bro.
Chip
That's so freaking spot on, man. Yeah, I like what he says. Trump set back like a G, and he's like, no, I got it. I got it. But Big Vance, big Trump. I love that, man. It's just really phenomenal to see the. The amaz. Look at this guy. This guy. I don't even know who this dude is. Just listen to this dude. I will gladly pay $20 a egg.
Jeff
To continue watching Donald Trump. Un.
Chip
What? Those Muppets.
Jeff
Completely up.
Chip
You pay 20 bucks an egg to watch them unf. Those. What those Muppets. I. He calls them Muppets. This is the best. Best thing ever, Jeff.
Jeff
That's great.
Chip
It's just the greatest thing ever, man. Okay, so here's. Here's another question, and this is what I like to see, too, because now we've got different reporters in there. We've got, you know, real reporters in there to ask real questions. This is a great question. I've always wondered why someone didn't ask.
Vance
My second question for President Zelensky.
Chip
Now.
Jeff
Do you ever.
David Schwartz
Why don't you wear a suit?
Chip
Why don't you wear a suit? You're the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit. Just want to see if you. Do you own a suit.
Jeff
Yeah.
Trump
You have problems.
Chip
A lot of Americans have problems with you not expecting.
Trump
I don't have such. I will wear costume after this war will finish.
Chip
Okay.
Trump
Yes.
Jeff
Maybe wear a costume. Maybe something like. Something like yours?
Trump
Yes. Maybe some. Something better.
Chip
I don't.
Trump
I don't know. We will see. Maybe something cheaper than. Yeah, thank you.
Chip
He's trying to put him down. Something maybe better than your suit. I don't know. I'll wear a costume. Dude, you wear a costume every day, bro.
Jeff
Man, look at Marco Rubio. He seems really uncomfortable. You know, the one thing I don't understand, and I'm looking at it, I get why he's uncomfortable. Jd, Vance, he's on the end. Trump's in a chair. You know, all these people, when you're in the middle of a sofa, you're never comfortable. No, I don't like the idea of the sofa. You know, he seems uncomfortable there. And I was looking at. He just seems like, in general, like right there, even his posture, holding his hands, the way he's holding them. But I'm like, what do you do when you're in the middle of the sofa, you know, and you can only look straight ahead. You have to be like slanted because they're over to his right. I'd rather have like a round. Like everyone in their own chair.
Chip
Yeah.
Jeff
Much more comfortable.
Chip
But even though, even those couches, everything, everything in there just looks uncomfortable. It just looks. Even those stupid chairs they have. I don't like them either, I think. And, and they always look awkward in those chairs too, when they're sitting there having a conversation. It just looks so freaking awkward, Jeff. It's like, oh, I'm sitting in a chair trying to pretend like, oh, I'm so super comfortable. And it's nothing, nothing like that at all.
Jeff
No. Yeah.
Chip
Now listen to this. This is someone. This is Ukrainian talking about Zelensky here. This isn't so we can say what we want, but here's a, here's somebody. Here's a. A Ukrainian. Listen to this.
Hung Kao
So mad at the Americans that are protecting Zelensky. For your record, Vladimir Zielinski, the president of Ukraine, Unlawful president. His dream always was to be like Putin. Zelensky's idol is Vladimir Putin. Zelensky always lived in Moscow. He always wanted to get to this high end society. This is just a boy whose dream became true. He's a comedian. Here's some photographs of him being comedian. He always lived in Moscow. Zelensky lived and worked in Moscow. I don't know why Ukrainians are super supportive of him. Just because they made a movie where Zelensky was a superstar and there was a movie where he's a president. They did this movie on purpose. So people are like, oh, this is a good idea for him to be a president. It's marketing. He's an actor, comedian. He used to be on the stage. And he was, when he was on the stage, the best of honor for him was when Putin was watching him. There was a comedy show in Russia that's called Cavan. How I know? Because I'm a singer. I was also there and singing there for your record. Okay. And when you're saying that Zelensky is so good for Ukraine. This person has nothing to do good with Ukraine or Ukrainian people. He was also LGBTQ music band participant. I'm not saying that it's bad. Whatever. The music was cool, actually. I loved it when I was a younger. And if you Google Kazaki music band exactly how it is on the screenshot, you can watch his music videos. And he's dancing there on a pole. Dance boots. So what my point is this person always wanted to be up high over there with all possible ways. He will not stop from getting what he wants, regardless of the way it should be. If he needs to sell his mom, how we say in Russian language, there is a saying, like some person who will sell their mom just to get what they want. He's that kind of person. All your money that you were donating to Ukraine goes to his pocket and his friend's pockets.
Chip
She nailed it, man. This totally nailed it. I mean, like, so don't think that people don't know this is. Jeff Sutton's got it right. He goes, can we please start a campaign to get Geraldo to broadcast the Fort Knox audit finally, because we could avenge the Capone vault fiasco. If you guys don't know, you're too young to remember Geraldo Rivera, who's a. At the time, he was doing a lot, you know, reporting, but he went to Al Capone's vault. They televised it and made a big thing of it. Let's see what's in Al Capone's vault. They opened it, and nothing was in there. So the. The analog. The comparison here is they'll go to Fort Knox and hopefully there'll be gold in there. But it could turn out to be another. It could turn out to be another Al Capone's vault. So I thought that was pretty well done.
Jeff
Fetterman approved of Zelinsky's clothes. I hate. Well, you know, I don't disagree. You know, if you're sitting, we go anywhere. We have a tie on and a suit, and then you have to sit in a chair. I don't like sitting with a suit on. I think it's super uncomfortable. Your jacket bunches up. Your shirt, the tie, especially if you're in that environment, coming and talked.
Chip
Regardless, even I got the rubber stuff inside. The. The. It comes untocked. It's hanging out all the time. The tie is always messed up, uncomfortable.
Jeff
I'd much rather wear just a polo shirt, shoe.
Chip
They don't have. They don't make ties for tall guys. So that little freaking part in the back is always coming loose and hanging out and you got to put a tie clip on. It's. It's a mess. It's a mess. Here's why. This guy put a compilation together about what was disturbing about Zelensky. Watch the facial movements, the rebuilding and.
Bill Ackman
White House this past week.
Vance
I have an obligation to do that for both. I want to get it solved and. But I want to see it get.
Chip
Solved.
Vance
In the future.
Chip
I'm very.
Vance
But we have put in far more than they have and I.
Jeff
Please go ahead.
Bill Ackman
About the agreement again today. What changed?
Vance
I'm going to be very nice run by today. And we thought they took it.
Chip
I mean, you got to get. You kind of get the gist of that, Jeff. But that just.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
Completely disrespectful, the way he acted. I mean, it was just saying. By the way, did you see his interview? This is part of his interview on Fox.
Trump
I wanted was a little bit of money. Just a little bit. I need money to buy a little bit of cocaine. You know, I hope I can get cocaine from Hunter Biden. I'm not feeling well today. They took my cocaine at the airport. I need money so I can buy a little bit of cocaine. Please.
Chip
I thought it was weird when I'm talking stuff. I was so awkward. I was like, she's so funny about it. My God. That's like crazy.
Jeff
Here's the redo. I'm gonna put the. Let me put this up one more time. Pretty side 35 second version. I let. I left something out of the previous video.
Chip
Oh, yeah. Get your wallet ready because this one's gonna be epic. Stay tuned to find out how you can claim your own legendary Blue Tribe Yeti.
Hung Kao
Let's go.
Chip
Nice.
Jeff
The Blue Tribe Yeti Forgot the Zaman wallet part.
Chip
Yeah. I immediately noticed with zombie. We got 24 in there. Check out this Canadian. Jeff, do you tell me if you agree with this Canadian or not. It's February 27th and today Canada is voting for its politicians. Now. Do you think that I'm gonna vote for a government that destroyed our economy? Do you think that I'm going to vote for a government that forced vaccinations on children, especially ones that were untested? Do you think I'm also going to vote for a government that allowed the sexualization of the curriculum for children? I don't think so. 51st. AIDS all the way. Stars and stripes, baby, right here. You don't think I'm going to vote for the same government forced sexualization on children and school Boards with drag queens. Do you be out of your mind? He writes in, look, just voted for Trump in Canada. You're better than Donald Trump. Well, that's how it's done. I'm just trying to make Canada great. So let's make it the 51st date. Big time, big time, big time. And we're gonna have a good time.
Jeff
That's awesome.
Chip
I don't know who that dude is. If he's on the Big River Show, I'm a fan. I'll tell you right now. I thought that was just so funny, the little laugh at the end. Yeah. I mean, that's a protest vote for sure.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Chip
I mean, good. It's good to have it on video. I don't know about much else you're gonna see, but. But, man, how. How cool was that?
Jeff
I love it. Canada deserves freedom, too.
Chip
They do. You know, you've lost it when. When you got agreement on cnn. Here's Scott Jennings on cnn.
Scott Jennings
I don't know if he needs an apology. He needs Zelensky to recognize the position that he's in.
David Schwartz
Which to you is what?
Scott Jennings
We're their patrons. We're their best hope for the killing to stop and for them to emerge from this sovereign and prosperous. And we're also their best hope as a business partner. I mean, all Zelinsky had to do today was put on a tie, show up, smile, say thank you, sign the papers, and have lunch.
Jeff
That's right.
Scott Jennings
That's it. He couldn't do that. And this followed 10 days of being difficult in private, and now one day of being stupid in public.
Chip
But I want.
Scott Jennings
This did not have to go down this way. And however you feel about why it started, why it's going on, who's right and who's wrong, we can help them in this and come out okay on the other side. And he's making it hard now.
Jeff
First of all, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I actually agree with Scott. And everything that he said was basically right.
Chip
Wow.
Jeff
I know I'm going to get killed on social media for admitting that, but so be it. And the fact is that it doesn't matter whether J.D. vice President Vance planned it or just took the opportunity to bait Zelinsky. Zelinsky took the bait, okay? And he shouldn't have. He made a mistake, dude.
Chip
I mean, it was Scott Jennings. Just like. I mean, mind blown. He couldn't even. He couldn't even fathom the guy. He goes, I hate to say this, and, you know, he Got wrecked on social media. You know, that guy got called a Nazi, a fascist, you know, garbage. You know, the every, you know, four letter word was levied at that dude. He, he didn't have a chance. Right, but let's look at some contrast here. Biden between Biden and Trump. Let's just, let's just show some contrast.
Jeff
Hand it over to the president. Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, in the background.
Chip
I'm.
Jeff
So focused on beating Putin.
Chip
We got to worry about it.
Bill Ackman
Anyway, President, I'm.
Chip
You are a hell of a.
Bill Ackman
Oh my God.
Jeff
Why they got to put. The problem is ruins it.
Vance
I've empowered you to be a tough guy and I don't think you'd be a tough guy without the United States. And your people are very brave. But you're either going to make a deal or we're out. And if we're out, you'll fight it out. I don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out. But you don't have the cards. But once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position, but you're not acting at all thankful. And that's not a nice thing. I'll be honest. That's not a nice thing. All right, I think we've seen enough. What do you think, huh?
Chip
Booted him right out. And then, you know the, the leftist headlines where Zelensky storms out. No, he didn't. Got his ass kicked out of there and he wanted to meet up again with Trump. He realized he screwed up. Go yourself. Nope, not gonna happen. Just go after happening, dude.
Jeff
Not gonna happen.
Chip
Not gonna happen. Not gonna happen. Not gonna happen.
Jeff
Not gonna happen.
Chip
Not gonna happen. Well, another great thing when you talk about more winning Hong Kong, who was running for Congress in Virginia. Of course, Virginia is populated with all the scumbag dirt bags from D.C. but he was just named the Undersecretary of the Navy. He had one of the best, best ads that ran in the campaign for people running for Congress. But he is now the Under Secretary of the Navy. Another proud moment and just more freaking winning. Here's the Hun video.
Bill Ackman
This is the scariest sound you will hear when you live in a communist country.
Jeff
I remember this guy.
Bill Ackman
This is the last source my parents heard when their fathers were taken away in the middle of night and they never saw their loved ones again. That's the sound of losing your freedom. The sound of always living in fear. That's my family's real life story. We escaped from Vietnam just days before Saigon fell to the communists. We were given a new life in the most generous country on earth. America saved my life. I graduated from the United States Naval Academy. I earned a master's in physics and fellowships at MIT and Harvard before the left replaced merit with racial quotas. I spent my life trying to repay my debt to America, my country. Our country, with 25 years of service in Navy Special operations, combat in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. But now our country has taken a dark turn. That's Joe Biden's Justice Department sending two dozen armed agents to arrest a pro life activist in front of his family. That's Joe Biden's IRS raiding a gun shop and seizing thousands of records from law abiding gun owners. Our names, our addresses, our Social Security numbers. That's Joe Biden arresting his challenger in the next election, a former President of the United States. And now a different sound. That's the sound of someone breaking into your home or business. The sound of crime destroying our cities and communities. That's how it all starts. They let criminals back on our streets. Millions of illegal immigrants, poor corporate, cross our border each year, including military aged men from all over the world. And enough fentanyl to kill every man, woman and child in this country. And the Biden family, well, that's how it works in a dictatorship. The rules don't apply to the rulers. We are losing our country. You know it, but you also know you can't say it. We're forced to say that wrong is right. We're forced to lie. We can't let that happen. I've been all over the world. Believe me when I tell you, if America fails, there's nowhere else to go. I'm Hung Kao, retired Navy Captain, running for the United States Senate. I still believe America can be the land of opportunity. I have an obligation to fight back against those who want to control our lives and disrupt our families. We need real fighters. Not politicians, not bureaucrats, not keyboard warriors acting tough in a custom made suit. No, not here in America. We must refuse to be intimidated. We must be fearless. I'm Hung Kao. I'm running for Senate. And I approve this message because I'm not done fighting for us.
Jeff
That was one of the. He's running again. Is he running again?
Chip
No, no, he's not running again. He was just. He's now the Undersecretary. Trump named him the Undersecretary of the Navy.
Jeff
Oh, really? I missed that. That's awesome. Yeah, okay. That guy was so spot on.
Chip
He's under Secretary of the Navy. And you know what you're going to hear from Hong Kong. The problem was he ran against Tim Kane. Does anybody remember who Tim Kane was? Nope. That's right. That was Hillary's running mate. And if, if some, a douchebag like Tim Kane beats a guy like Hunkao, you know, we got some serious problems, man. Yeah, but Hanky is going to be around. This guy is a warrior solid. He's going to go on to be. He's going to get to the Senate, to the House, he'll be a governor. But this is the kind of leadership we need. We need somebody who understands what it was like, what communism was like, what his family lived. And he's not gonna, he's gonna, he's going to do anything he can to prevent that. This is a guy who understands more than anybody. People like to fantasize about what communism's like. His, you know, his, his parents, they lost their, their fathers in the middle of the night. They're rounding them up dead. Boom, gone. So this is what we, we need more of that, Jeff. So I saw that I always felt was one of the most moving ads.
Jeff
Yeah, I love, I love that ad. I think it was. It's so solid, you know, there's so many elements, you know, to, to what's happening, you know, and we look at what did the Democrat playbook and, you know, I'm looking at, you know, Northeast Whitewater, put this in there, you know, read Solinsky. You look at what they've been doing, right? The undo, the undoing of any civil society. How does the government control you? Safety, security, they take that away. You can't go out of your house, you can't go to the store, you can't go to the bank. Government controls you because it's no longer safe for you to go outside. They understood that 100% dismantle health care. If you don't have easy access to health care, let the FDA control it. Let them force you to take whatever injections you have to take. You can't use, you know, good alternative measure to heal yourself that are clearly in existence. We saw that methodology play out for too long. How, you know, certain powers would be, forced you to do things that were detrimental to your health. And the crazy MDs that are still out there supporting it, you know, should have their, their license revoked for them, you know, it's, it's really, really destructive. Reading one today, obviously the guy was in Canada, so I don't expect too much from him. In, in terms of the narrative, because I, I still think they're controlled up there. But he's still promoting the fact that ivermectin and, and hydroxychloroquine, you know, didn't help. He's saying it didn't help that you still need to have, you know, a clear path of these injections of these vaccines in healthy adults. That he also then promoted an article, you know, trying to claim that the rate of heart conditions didn't go up because of the vaccine, you know, that it was equal in younger adults. Pre, pre. Covid. All this stuff that's already been proven, that you have doctors out there that are trying to prove the opposite to prop up the government narrative. Now to me, that. So that's your health care, right? They want to dismantle your health care. And the third component of it is monetary. They want to be, they want to impact you monetarily. Cost of eggs, you know, cost of basic necessities have to go up. Gas so you can get around eggs so you can feed your family, bread and all these other things. You know, there's so many components to a chip. Just one final part and this kind of gets to an interesting dynamic. Chip and I talked about Bill Ackman for a long time. He went from blue pilled to red pill. And we. Chip and I talked about it on the show. You guys are all privy to how he made his progress. And I'm looking at his response, you know, now he comes out hammering non stop. Look, I totally agree that Zelensky was the problem today after watching the whole session. Don't rely on media excerpts. You know, if you want to get the truth, Zelensky mishandled this. And I say this as someone who has supported Ukraine from the beginning of the war. Donald Trump was appropriately angry, but kept his composure. In a negotiation, you should never overplay your hand, particularly if it's a bad one and the lives of your people are at stake. In order to be a mediator, you can't be viewed by either side as favoring the other. Trump is carefully and patiently playing this role. It is not helpful for Zelensky to be disrespectful. That said, I expect Trump to continue to be the honest broker between Russia and Ukraine. But he will now likely increase what he wants for the U.S. unless Zelensky quickly apologizes and offers something to Trump and a very unfortunate day for the Ukraine. And all that falls squarely at the feet of Zelensky because of that. And you know, and I Like, you know, here's Bill Amman again. He's still. You still see some remnant of his blue pillness. Right, right. And it's still there. And he's trying to figure it out, you know, and it's. It's really interesting, you know, this guy, you know, just amazes me every day, you know, how he goes down this narrative, you know, I like it.
Chip
We're in, guys. You guys had all show to do this. We're gonna now pull. Let's go, guys. No, I gotta. I got an appointment. So I gotta. I gotta roll out of here in. In five minutes. So I got in 10. So let's see the guys. Ready? Let's go. Who's gonna be you guys got your zombie wallet ready? Get the zombin wallet ready?
Jeff
Yeah, yeah.
Chip
Drill. Jeff, you got to make a video for what they have to do.
Jeff
What do they have to do?
Chip
The video.
Lindsey Graham
Click.
Chip
I'm here. You gotta say, I'm here and getting my address. That's it. That's all you have to say or I'm not here. No, because we'll know.
Jeff
I'm gonna say that I'm not here. They're here or not here.
Chip
If we don't hear from you, we draw again. And the other part of that is if you are here, you have to have a zombie wallet. Otherwise you will not be able to transferred and we'll have to draw again. So here we go, guys.
Jeff
Let's go up. Look at that. Are you still here? He had to leave a while ago. He said I have nine minutes. No pressure. That was at 9:22. He should still be here. Are you still here? Look at that.
Chip
I hate to, hate to do that crypto.
Jeff
I was always like, I gotta win. I gotta win, man. That'd be crazy if he wins and he's not here.
Chip
Yeah, well, man, why don't we hold.
Jeff
It for him and flatline our streams? Oh, he's here. Look at that.
Chip
Okay. Perfect. Beautiful one. All right, man, he's still here. Good. He's still here.
Jeff
Won this one.
Chip
Beautiful, man. Beautiful.
Jeff
Everybody has a chance of winning.
Chip
You'll win. And sometimes everybody will win at some point. Don't worry.
Jeff
That's right. Yeah.
Chip
But you know, the good news, Jeff and all this is that even if, even if you don't win, what I can tell you is you can go to xrp. Let's just sort of workshop this while you're getting your, your, your wallet there. But we're just going to kind of workshop this a little bit. But I'M going to show you exactly how this works. You go to XRP cafe right there. Go into the top search bar there and you type in badass yetis. And then when you hit the search, you're going to come up with two different things. You can get the blue tribe here, which is what we're talking today, or the white tribe and the blue tribe. Here they are. They're almost sold out. They're 16 XRP. This is 86 minted. There's of the 589. You can see right here that if you wanted to buy one, you can buy one for here first. There's one for 10 XRP. Someone's selling one for 10 XRP. There you go. You can. Who, who are those guys that wanted and said, oh God, I really want a mentalist. Well, here you go right here. If you mint one, it's a blind copy so you don't know what you're going to get. You're just taking a random one. But this is the resale market, so somebody is selling this underpriced number rarity425 of 500 for 10XRP. So if you want a mentalist, if you want to grab one of these guys, you can. Now some of these are a little bit more expensive. Some of them are. This one's 500. Someone's got this one listed for 5:58, 900 XRP, which means they're not really for sales. What that means? Okay, that's what that basically means. So there's the badass yeti's blue tribe for 16 and type in badass yetis again and you get the white tribe collection. And we got an internal error. What's going on over there? What is going on? Bad ass yetis. That's weird. Nope, there we go. Must have just been a little glitch there. These are 12 XRP, but there you go. You can, you know, people are reselling them here. These are. If you want a specific one, you're like, oh, I really like this guy. He's cool. You can grab them too. You just click the mint button. Once you have your, your wallet connected, you mint one for 12 XRP, it'll just, just mint a random white tribe member. There you go. So it's another way to support the show and another way to get yourself a cool NFT yeti. You know, there's like a looking badass looking one like that. There you go. That's all you have to do.
Jeff
And now gonna take flat liners. Yeah, I'm getting The address. Now if I don't let me, let me see if YouTube's gonna let me copy it. It's not letting me copy it.
Chip
What the heck, Let me see if I can go into YouTubers.
Jeff
It keeps giving me a. Oh, there we go. I got it this time.
Chip
Yay. Yay, yay. I got it.
Jeff
All right, now what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna come over here and I'm gonna say plug that address in there. Let's transfer this bad boy, get the QR code, download a Zaman wallet. Because to move these NFTs is super, super easy.
Chip
Yeah.
Jeff
Now I go, I open up the Zaman wallet on the phone, I click the little blue box opens up, scan a QR code. Scan the QR code. I go down, I say okay, I got to approve it. I'm approving it.
Chip
Yeah.
Jeff
Mark, the thumbprint, it's verifying screen already shows that it's been submitted and now it's verifying the transfer. Submitted successfully. Flatliners is now the proud owner of it. Number three zero four. That's how easy as that. And don't forget about the Quantum summit because that's coming up next weekend. We will, we will be there. That's going to be over in the.
Chip
Guys, you want to hang out with us everywhere. We will not be doing the show. You want to hang with us live and do the show. Here we go. We're gonna be. Jeff and I are going to be on stage live interviewing Senator Mark Finch from Arizona. This is going to be a monumental event. If you don't know who Mark Finchem is, he's a legend. He was the guy that really stood up for freedom and what happened in 2020. You got to be careful what you say. But Jeff and I will be interviewing him on stage. It's going to be what a treat that's going to be to interview someone that I've fanboyed over for a while and spend some time with Senator Mark Finch and. But everybody that's going to be there is going to be fantastic. It's in Cape Canaveral. I'm going to go ahead and drop the. The tickets are still for available. You can still get last minute tickets here. But if you just let me come up to the tickets here, click on this. I'll drop it in here, guys. But they're very reasonable. If you want to hang out with Jeff and I, if you want to see us next weekend, come hang out with us, guys. Go get yourself a ticket right now. And there it is. You can also live stream it as well. If you can't make the event or you live out of the country, you can live stream it. So you can go ahead and they'll be available pretty soon, but you can watch the whole event. So you'll be able to watch us on stage with the interview because I know that everybody can make it, even people, maybe some people in Florida, but you can always live stream it as well. We'll talk more about that. Ticket prices are very reasonable. $432 for two days plus a $10 ticket if you want to go to the dinner and hang out too. It's 185, so pretty simple. Very, very cool. It starts on next March 8th, which is my brother's birthday, by the way. My. It's my brother's birthday, it's my aunt's birthday, and it's my great grandfather's birthday. All born on the same month and day. And my grandfather, my great grandfather came over from Italy. He was born in 1889. He passed in 18 in 1989. So I was lucky. I've known him and heard stories about him and he came over here when he's 11 years old, got abandoned for the person that took him over on, on the ship, and somehow he ended up finding his father and only spoke Italian back then. So, yeah, a lot of history there. But March 8th, 9 00am Eastern time to 5:30. So there you go. And it ends on March 9th at 5:30. So there it is. It's not 24 hours, it's just two days.

We will not be on next Saturday because we will be at the Quantum Summit. We will be on stage with Senator Mark Fincham. It's going to be a real treat to be up there and interviewing him. Super excited about that. And, yeah, we can add another. We can add a senator to our list, Jeff. We've. That's, you know, a state senator. He's a state senator, but a very important one.

Podcast Summary: On The Chain - Blockchain and Cryptocurrency News + Opinion
Episode Title: XRP / Crypto: SEC Exposed, Trump Revolution & Zelensky’s Public Smackdown
Release Date: March 1, 2025
Hosts: Jeff and Chip
The episode kicks off with a humorous cold open mishap between hosts Jeff and Chip, quickly transitioning into the main topics of discussion. The primary focus centers around recent developments in the cryptocurrency space, particularly involving XRP and the SEC, geopolitical shifts influenced by former President Trump, and a notable public interaction involving Ukrainian President Zelensky.
A significant portion of the discussion delves into the relationship between XRP and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The hosts highlight recent actions by the SEC that have “exposed” certain aspects of XRP’s operations.
David Schwartz's Presentation at ETH Denver: Chip emphasizes the impact of David Schwartz’s keynote at ETH Denver, where Schwartz discussed the future of tokenization and smart contracts. Despite initial technical difficulties in sharing the presentation, Chip and Jeff commend Schwartz for his insights into enterprise adoption of blockchain technologies.
The conversation shifts to former President Trump’s influence on the crypto landscape and broader geopolitical strategies. The hosts discuss the upcoming White House Crypto Summit scheduled for March 7, 2025, where Trump is set to host key figures from the cryptocurrency industry.
Key Points:
White House Crypto Summit: Expected to feature prominent crypto leaders, showcasing Trump’s commitment to integrating cryptocurrency into national policy.
SEC’s Evolving Stance: The hosts express skepticism about the SEC’s effectiveness, citing internal issues and leadership changes that may render the SEC less influential in regulating crypto.
Enterprise Adoption: Emphasis on how institutional buy-in is crucial for mainstream crypto adoption, referencing David Schwartz’s insights.
Notable Quote:
Chip: “We need to negotiate. We need to get along and figure out how we’re going to live in this world.”
A pivotal moment in the episode is the analysis of a public confrontation between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Trump’s administration officials, including Vice President Vance. The hosts criticize Zelensky’s demeanor during the meeting, portraying it as disrespectful and detrimental to Ukraine’s position.
Key Points:
Behavioral Critique: Zelensky is accused of being disrespectful and mishandling diplomatic interactions, which could undermine Ukraine’s support from the U.S.
Geopolitical Implications: The hosts argue that Zelensky’s actions could escalate tensions with Russia, pushing the conflict closer to a potential World War III scenario.
Call for Accountability: Emphasis on the need for transparency and responsible leadership to resolve ongoing conflicts effectively.
Notable Quote:
Jeff: “This has been, Chip, a very, very rookie move. You have to negotiate.”
Jeff and Chip offer a strong critique of Democratic policies, particularly focusing on government overreach and corruption. They discuss legislative efforts to repeal the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), led by Republican Representative Byron Donaldson.
Key Points:
Repeal the CFPB Act: Highlighted as a move to eliminate what conservatives view as unnecessary government intervention in financial matters.
Slush Funds and Corruption: The hosts allege that Democratic-controlled agencies have mismanaged funds, benefiting lobbyists and political opponents.
Biden Administration’s Policies: Criticism of the Biden administration’s handling of various crises, including the Ukraine conflict and economic policies.
Notable Quote:
Chip: “The CFPB served as a left-wing tool to stifle domestic economic growth.”
The episode features substantial praise for Republican Representative JD Vance, who is portrayed as a rising star with a compelling personal story. The hosts encourage listeners to familiarize themselves with Vance’s background, highlighting his overcoming of extreme poverty and his potential future in national politics.
Key Points:
Background: JD Vance’s journey from battling poverty and addiction to becoming a key political figure.
Political Aspirations: Anticipation of Vance’s potential candidacy for higher offices, including governor and possibly president.
Role Model: Presented as an inspiration for overcoming adversity and achieving success through determination.
Notable Quote:
Chip: “He didn’t have a silver spoon in his mouth. He fought tooth and nail for everything that he has.”
Building on earlier discussions, the hosts explore strategies for mainstream cryptocurrency adoption. They stress the importance of enterprise integration and developing traditional financial products on the blockchain to facilitate broader usage.
David Schwartz's Insights:
