Welcome to on the chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on? Chip? What's going on, everybody? One person out there in the on the chain community. What is going on, man? We got Chad number one coming in from Celebration was the first one in tonight. XRP. Chip in 2024 is a game. Is it a game changer or is it just another fanboy fantasy? That's what I want to note. That's a question I'm asking. And we're going to talk a little bit about that. Got some other great things to cover tonight that we've got to get into, and we're watching people flooding in one by one as we get ready to get started. Chip, are you ready to kick this thing off?
- [00:44]
Chip
I'm gonna go. Let's do it. Let's do a new open here. Let's try something.
- [00:57]
Jeff
Hey, Zeus, let's go. Let's go.
- [01:02]
Chip
Ah, gosh, man. Gosh. Oh, man. Okay, well, let's see.
- [01:09]
Jeff
Let's go.
- [01:10]
Chip
Let's go. Let's do. Let's do.
- [01:12]
Jeff
This is a good evening.
- [01:16]
Chip
Coming in from. My God. You coming in from somewhere? Where is that place you're coming in from?
- [01:21]
Jeff
Where is that one place?
- [01:22]
Chip
Let's step right to it. I'm gonna put this. I saw this video and I was like, pretty. I was pretty impressed by it, to be honest with you. Every once in a while I'll see a video. It's pretty impressive. And I said, like, you know, Brad Garlinghouse is pretty good on the barbecue. I was like, look at garlic health go. Look at him up this thing up. Like there's nothing. He's crushing it, dude. He's like, oh, wait a minute.
- [01:49]
Jeff
Look at that.
- [01:55]
Chip
House. Looks a lot like, doesn't it? He's ripping it off. Look at that.
- [02:02]
Jeff
Look at that, man, that's quite a smoker.
- [02:05]
Chip
Just look at that. Would you just look at that? Just look at that. Damn.
- [02:16]
Jeff
Are those beef ribs?
- [02:18]
Chip
That's what it looks like. That's what it looks like. Sorry, I thought that was going. It looked a lot like them. I don't see so well glasses, but I have surgery coming up, so I have to wear them for a couple days, unfortunately.
- [02:29]
Jeff
Does anyone notice? Anyone see that?
- [02:32]
Chip
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
- [02:34]
Jeff
Got Robert coming all the way in from Pasadena, California. Can't wait for rigged from the start here in la. There you go.
- [02:44]
Chip
I saw it the other night. I did see it. Rigged from the start.
- [02:48]
Jeff
Rigged from the start.
- [02:50]
Chip
Movie did hang out with some of The. It was great to see him. Like, it was just great being with the community. A lot of people I never knew, never heard another Handles followed. A lot of people. They weren't following me. I wasn't following them.
- [03:02]
Jeff
It's cool. It's a way to do it. It's a way to be buck.08.
- [03:06]
Chip
Oh, actually, I. Maybe I have a video. I have a video I shot at the end. I can maybe throw that up there, but.
- [03:11]
Jeff
Pretty cool.
- [03:12]
Chip
But in the interim, we got this. Panos is coming in again. You know, thank God for the people that have logic and reason in this community, because otherwise, you're just another grifter, you know? Yeah, man.
- [03:28]
Jeff
I was going through YouTube and at X and. And for the past couple days, that's all it's been. Just been fomo, fomo, fomo. Just. Where's it. Where's XRP gonna go to? Is it gonna be a thousand? Is it gonna be 20? Here's why it's gonna be 30. Here's why. It's this. Here's why it's that. Hold on. You know, this is the one. It's the only one. I'm like, this is. It gets. Gets to be too much, you know, Vin Scully called.
- [03:55]
Chip
I'm sorry. That's Brad Grilling house. There you go. That's what it was. Look at that coming in. Danville, Indiana. Hello.
- [04:05]
Jeff
Man. Never even heard of that place. Danville, Indiana. Be for real. The. The meeting. The Trump Garling House meeting. You know, definitely. Definitely wild. Things are heating up. And, you know, a big part of it, Chip, is that, you know, Trump is embracing crypto. He didn't have to make a major pivot right now. It's been. It's been a growth. It's in the platform. He grew into it.
- [04:33]
Chip
Yep.
- [04:33]
Jeff
He had his kids to thank for kind of some enlightenment on where the crypto space was going yet the past four years to really dig in, learn and understand the dynamics. Yet, you know, for the past four years, we've seen the current resident in the White House and. And Kamala make zero pivot, yet all the fanboys, you know, that wanted to reach out and make this, you know, some presumption that all of a sudden she was going to pivot and she was going to support crypto. Look how that's not turning out for them, because, you know, obviously, you know, it's just another empty shell, because it wasn't even in the campaign promises. You know, the rest of the campaign promises were all empty, which is why it was there Was a red tidal wave taking over the country. People are changing by drastic measure right now across the globe. Which is awesome.
- [05:25]
Chip
Fantastic. So what is Panos talking about here? You know what can you call?
- [05:30]
Jeff
Let's get into that.
- [05:31]
Chip
Not this again not financial advice. Why do I hold xrp? Because Ripple's the chosen one to lead the new global digital payment system and they use xrp. It's like no dude. And then there's a video here that will have random bits and pieces that is supposed to support the so called evidence, right? Then Thanos beautifully says not this again please. If you're holding XRP for these fake reasons you better sell. We don't want more fake hype, confusion misinformation for the new XRP holders and the XRPL users who will come in this bull run. When this came out I pointed out to why this is BS and let's go ahead and take a look at why.
- [06:16]
Jeff
There you go, some solid reasons.
- [06:20]
Chip
A few days ago I saw the video by you know, NFA crypto that was shared by many people on Twitter. It has many likes and a positive comments but shouldn't because it continues the cycle of misinformation and nonsense theories and I'll explain. So he puts out this monster thread before going straight into the video what it says, I want to remind that I've been fighting cryptos, especially XRP misinformation for years on both sides. On one side we have the XRP haters, Bitcoin, Max etc and on the other we have the XRP Maxis or people who just have fallen victim to conspiracy theories misinformation that has a goal to overhype xrp create these false theories around it and it's related to a threat I wrote a while ago there was another thread it says from the very first seconds it says Ripple is the chosen one to lead the new global financial digital payment system. Factually wrong. And anyone who says that you have no clue how the financial system works, there will never be a chosen one in an industry like this. Good point. Because honestly there's always two players. Many players will coexist especially in the new digital era with many innovators and level playing field and better competition. Will Ripple take the biggest market share? Yeah, it's very possible. And then he continues with the and they use xrp. Ripple's a company with many products. Some of them use xrp, some of them don't. Others like the Liquidity hub will use support multiple crypto and as Ripple is expanding they'll probably Use more than one crypto in some solutions, then he can.
- [07:52]
Jeff
He wrote that in 22. Think about this, this whole thread that.
- [07:56]
Chip
He'S referencing the same shit over and over again.
- [07:58]
Jeff
Yeah. Yep.
- [07:59]
Chip
Then he continues with the Fed and the faster payment system. He keeps sharing the same video. Ripple is just one of the many companies on the list this year. The companies that will create the system were announced. Ripple was not one of them. The next with the World bank means nothing. There's hundreds of companies and foundations there and other blockchain slash crypto companies listed by the WB2. And he thinks it's just because Ripple's in there, it's made some donations and then they're the chosen one. Jeff. And then we're all in the first 20 seconds and 4, 4 is false, full of misinformation. You get the point. The rest of the video, he states that connections with partners and employees. But the point is that this continues the cycle of misinformation. False hope, fake hype. States that he holds XRP because of these. So based on false theories and because only Ripple and one company and the project building on the XRP ledger. If you only hold XRP because of one, what Ripple does, you're waiting for their actions. And the SEC says hello, I'll continue fighting for the misinformation of both sides because I'm sick of these nonsense. And newcomers getting confused, falling victim to misinformation. Wait till they find out about the, about the Dancing Bears. Jeff. When they find out about, about the Riddlers and the, and bearable, bearable guy 123 or BG 123, then they'll really be into it.
- [09:20]
Jeff
That's right. So I mean, you know, and it's crazy. This has been going on for so long. Obviously Panos is going back and referencing his statement from two almost exactly two years ago. It's going back into that cycle again. So we're going into a little bit of a, an upward trend. You know, all the, all the fake information comes out, all the hype and so here we go again. And trying to really. How do you separate bad information from good information? If you're brand new coming into crypto, you identify XRP as one of the assets you want to invest in. It's not top three now, so maybe it is, maybe it isn't. How people end up, you know, navigating to finding their assets now, maybe watching YouTube videos or posting thing or reading things on X, but when they see videos like that and they see the hype and they see the dynamic of what we've seen over the past few days. Panos is so spot on. So I was just digging through and you can put up a thumbnail, you can kind of share, just do a little clickbait, draw some people in, then change up the narrative of it and say, hey, here's what we're going to talk about today. But instead they share a thumbnail and they talk about that topic as though it's factual, right? And they're saying, here's the path to 20, here's the path to 30, here's how it's going to happen. Here's why this or here's why Ripple is number one, the chosen one. Here's why XRP is the chosen one. Come on, you have a whole group of assets. You know, was Apple the chosen one over Microsoft? You know, both successful companies at this point, but Apple in its heyday almost went out of business. You know, Microsoft, you know, did some pivot, but where's is Microsoft? I mean, look where they are in the PC market, but they're no longer, they're nowhere relevant at all in the, in the mobile market. You know, you don't see any, you know, solid iPad or, you know, mobile phones or watches coming out of Microsoft, you know, so they lost that narrative, you know, but they still have their narratives, you know, so you can't just dismiss it. Just, it's just too much and there's thousands, you know.
- [11:28]
Chip
He made one error in this post though, and I'll tell you what it is. He said if you want some good information, you should then go follow people such as Crippen writer, which I have something from Wrath of Kahneman, Crypto Eddie and Vet and better. What he should have said is if you really want to go what's know what's going on the geopolitical space and you want no there follow on the chain. But that's okay.
- [11:50]
Jeff
Exactly. Yeah, I noticed that too. Trying to figure out, you know, what that was. You know, quick pass we've had. Come on, come on. Thanos did agree. Where's. Where's. On the chain. On the chain.
- [12:01]
Chip
People that mostly like focus on like, you know, XRP ecosystem. Jeff, we're loosely like associated with that anymore with all of our political stuff. We've kind of like, kind of made a little bit of a pivot geopolitical, you know, space.
- [12:13]
Jeff
You'll get a chance. Sorry, Chip.
- [12:15]
Chip
Yeah, you want to do that? We got to do a giveaway.
- [12:18]
Jeff
We're gonna do a giveaway tonight. Yeah, man.
- [12:19]
Chip
You guys start typing in Yeti right now. We got one person too. One person already typed it in. This is already ahead of it. Oh, dude.
- [12:25]
Jeff
Did you already put it in?
- [12:26]
Chip
Yeah.
- [12:26]
Jeff
Yeti, once you get. Get it set up then bmac, you're gonna have a chance. It's already set up, so you got to type in here. Here, I'll. What's that?
- [12:38]
Chip
I already did put it in the Yeti. Don't do the scrolling one though. That drives me insane. Just put it up on the bottom or typing.
- [12:46]
Jeff
Let me see. Where is it?
- [12:48]
Chip
That's all you have to do. It's not hard. You can do it. I'm pretty sure it should be hard. I feel like you can all do it. I feel it. Good. Like it's possible.
- [12:55]
Jeff
You know how to type it. Yeti.
- [12:59]
Chip
There you go.
- [13:00]
Jeff
Yeti.
- [13:00]
Chip
Look at that. Yeah, seven entries. See that?
- [13:03]
Jeff
Come on, Yeti. That's it. That's all you got to do right there. Yeti.
- [13:08]
Chip
That's what I call my dog, Yeti. The Jetai. He's a Yeti.
- [13:14]
Jeff
It is a ban. How do I get rid of that banner now? I can't find the. The banner. Oh, there we go. Yeah, actually now they have folders. I never saw folders before.
- [13:24]
Chip
We've had folders, but the problem is, is they're all mixed up.
- [13:27]
Jeff
They're all universally vignette. And by the way, here's. Here's the beautiful. Here's the beautiful. Let me pull it up here real quick. This is a tempest. There's one of the badass from the white tribe. Here he is right here. Right, let me put.
- [13:46]
Chip
There he is looking up that bad boy. Come on, man.
- [13:48]
Jeff
Go kick ass up. Zoom in. The wrong screen. Hang on a second there.
- [13:53]
Chip
Look at that. Damn, look at that.
- [13:55]
Jeff
Look at that. Look how fierce he is. Look at that. Look in his eyes, man.
- [13:59]
Chip
Those teeth, it kicks Max.
- [14:01]
Jeff
That guy is just ready. Ready to kick somebody's ass. Yeah, man. That's mean. That is a mean bastard. That's a tempest from the white tribe.
- [14:12]
Chip
Incredible.
- [14:12]
Jeff
That is Yeti. White tribe. We gave out a beautiful one from the blue tribe on yesterday. Yesterday morning. So keep typing in Yeti and we'll. We'll get there. We will get there.
- [14:28]
Chip
Speaking of other good sources, Crippen writer put this amazing thread together that I just saw. He said, here's the thread. The bull runs here and you're new to XRP and the XRP Ledger and I don't know where to start. Here's a comprehensive List of websites and the essentials you need to know to get started and get the hang of the ecosystem. Here we go. Look at this right here. He's got. This is the outline. Starts out with the introduction, the core, the explorers, wallets, services and then defi. XRPL is decentralized, immutable, censorship resistant, permissionless DLT that offers several native layer 1 functions such as AMM, order book and tokenization. The XRPL is not Ripple, as Ripple didn't exist when the XRPL was originally released.
- [15:15]
Jeff
That's right.
- [15:16]
Chip
And then it is not. Key features of the XRP ledger. Four second true finality. Right. Transaction on both sides, proven reliability. Eleven plus years into this global carbon neutral public blockchain. Nobody cares about that Shizzo community. Okay? API based, easy to develop on. It's so easy a caveman could do it. Jeff. The core rippled and so when you hear about the xrpl, the server software that powers the XRPL is referred to as rippled. It's a daemon service and it implements the XRPL protocol in C and you can go over to the GitHub and learn about it. There it is. Yeah, the core, the amendments, all changes that affect transaction processing on the XRP ledger must be approved by a super majority of trusted validators before they can be enacted. It's 80%, right, Jeff? I think 80% of the validators have two.
- [16:14]
Jeff
Yeah, I think that's the number.
- [16:16]
Chip
What do we know, Jeff? We've only been on an ecosystem for like 10 years. We don't know. How do we know? It's too much.
- [16:21]
Jeff
Why would we know?
- [16:22]
Chip
How would we? And why would we care? The core of the docs, a single source of truth for everything related to the XRP ledger and the XRP for a deeper technical understanding. This is the place to find and research and of course it's xrpl.org docs HTML.
- [16:39]
Jeff
That's right. You can read everything you want to know.
- [16:42]
Chip
Right? Number one, the Explorer is the well known and former Bithop now rebranded XRPL Explorer, which allows you to find what's going on behind the scenes. You can also look into NFTs, AMM pools and XRP distribution and that is XRPL Explorer. It's just loaded with stuff here. Then you got the Explorer Ripple X Explorer allows you to view each ledger visually and see how they're getting validated and close regular every four seconds. Transaction fees, transactions per ledger and the visual ledger overview. Then you got the Explorers, another explorer that most people track the status of Node updates and the progress of amendment voting in the XRP public. This is it. Of course you can go to the go to XRP scan. So this is something you guys are going to want to bookmark because it has all the websites. You're like oh, how do I look at a transaction? Or how do I look and see what the amendments are? How do I keep up? It's all in this thread. Another way to see that is go to onthechain IO, scroll to the bottom, put your email in there and you will get an update. You get all the links after the show. There you go. And you can always say and see it as well. Wallets. The former is some wallet that's the most integrated and secure mobile wallet in the XRP ecosystem. Now called Zaman. Heavily adopted, never got hacked. Knock on wood. Jeff.
- [18:04]
Jeff
So far so good.
- [18:05]
Chip
X apps and D apps. Pretty cool Zaman app. What else? First ledger the new kid on the block. A hot wallet for those who want to gamble, play and trade with meme coins in the XRP ledger. First ledger well I mean within three weeks there were over 500 meme coins on there. It's insane.
- [18:26]
Jeff
Yeah, yeah, they want to play around. People want to play around with the meme coins.
- [18:33]
Chip
First functional, fully functional. Snap. That brings the XRP ledger to the metamask Wallet needs usage Mainnet slash testnet for devs and fully featured web app of course. There it is. XRPL dash snap. You got things like services, XRPL services website you can configure account search in the ledger. Just a whole everything, everything's on here. It's such a well thought out. There's XRP Cafe, XRP has NFTs. Then you got XRPL Commons. Then you have XRPL Labs XP Market, Anodos Finance. Of course that's Panos. User friendly web interface for the app. Makes it easier for you to start creating new pools, swaps and trading while keeping track of your portfolio. Incoming Sologenic crippen writer. I write about DLT and crypto but primarily about XRP and XRPL ecosystem. It's good stuff. Guy puts together good stuff. I've been in a bunch of spaces with them. Smart guy. Yeah.
- [19:36]
Jeff
Oh yeah, he's a smart dude.
- [19:39]
Chip
He's a righteous dude.
- [19:41]
Jeff
And if you ever want to know, go to XRP scan. You can see a lot of details. But here's the state, the network state. There's 106 validators. You go down, you can go through, look at all the validator registry you can look at the different validators. I don't know exactly where they are, what countries, you know all the different validators are in but you can go take a look, see if you can find that out. Somebody was asking the question what country are they in? But they're kind of all over the place. One Eye Willie said XRPO has been around for more than nine years. I've never heard of XRPL having network issues like Solana but nobody even cares with Solana having network issues it's not even a relevant factor. The only thing that's relevant is that there's projects rolling out on a regular basis that are being built on the platform. That's why nobody cares about Ethereum being too costly. Because just like one project after another project after another and they were first in with the NFTs. The NFT space blew up from, from the sales craze. It was all Ethereum based Bitcoin First Mover Advantage, the biggest name in the industry obviously hit the biggest numbers and someone said the only reason why they're people are focused on bitcoin and that was 1 I1EY willies because it's worth 90,000. If it was 50 cents they would treat it like XRP probably, you know, but it's 90,000. When it hit 20 that was it. It was that. It was over at that point. That's everyone started talking about it. Everyone's only going to talk about bitcoin. If bitcoin goes back down to 50 cents today that's all people are going to talk about that bitcoin fell from 90,000 to $0.50 and the whole market's going to tank and the whole crypto industry would tank with it. And that's right. Obviously you know, we're not going in that direction but people are going to talk about on the way up and they're going to talk about on the way down. If you think about 2017 in December and the media at November December the media was hyping Bitcoin, hyping XRP. They're showing you how to go online and buy it. They're hyping Ethereum, they're hyping a couple others. But the target was, you know, bitcoin xrp. Here's how you can buy it. It was kind of crazy at that time. And when it went over the, the cliff, it went over the precipice and started going tanking. That's all they could talk about is, is how it was tanking and how overvalued Bitcoin was. They wrote it on the way up. How amazing was and they rode everybody on the way down. And that's, that's the FOMO and the FUD always go hand in hand. And that was mainstream media. Then think about, you know, all the F the fanboys and the Fudsters on YouTube and on, on Twitter and X now and then, you know, previous years and they do the same thing. They FOMO it on the way up and they FUD it on the way down and they'll FUD different assets and they, you know, become very polarized. You know, is all the bitcoin maxis and all that stuff. But what's this Jim D says someone needs to invite bricks nations to host XRP validators to prove it's truly neutral. Forget that, man. Bricks done. Bricks. Plus nobody cares about it. Especially now that with a Trump presidency. Think anyone cares about bricks? Bricks is just doa.
- [23:03]
Chip
Look at this, Sir John. Out of all the conspiracy theories, I just wonder why xrp, the chosen one, is so heavily bullied by the authorities. It's a good point.
- [23:14]
Jeff
Well, I think that's an easy one though. That's an easy. Other than the Ethereum component of it, which you would think they would find a way to single it out because of the Net, the Ethereum network. But the reason why it's easy to single out XRP is because it's easy to single out Ripple. And Ripple is the only company in the blockchain arena that was taken on, specifically purposefully taken on Swift. Swift is a conglomerate of 10,000 banks. It's the banking industry is called conglomerate cartel, which is then. It's the banking cartel which is then tied into government. So if you want to, if you want to take on an industry and that's your target industry, when it comes back around and the SEC comes around and they want to single it out. I think there's multiple variables to it, but they're very, you know, they're in the spotlight. There's no spotlight for Bitcoin. Who are you coming after on bitcoin? There's nobody on the Ethereum side. You can come after Vitalik, but you have so many companies building on that platform that who do you single out at that point? That's going to have a ripple effect, right? You come after Ripple as a big company and you and you try to take them down has a ripple effect. But I think Chip, you and I talked about right from the beginning, when the lawsuit rolled out, we said at some point, you know, this lawsuit is going to turn around to potentially be a positive for the industry because it's going to provide a path to some sort of clarity, some sort of legal clarity chip. And I said that from day one when the lawsuit was dropped, because it was a fast pace. And we said maybe people are looking at this the wrong way. We still don't know exactly why. What's his name? Who's. Who was the guy who was the head of the SEC before the G man? Who was it? What's it?
- [25:05]
Chip
Jay Clayton.
- [25:05]
Jeff
Oh, Clayton, Yeah. I don't know why I spaced out his name. So nobody knows this specific purpose. There's multiple scenarios. We have an outgoing administration, new incoming administration, and at the time, Ripple was also very left centric, you know, so it. And propping up all these DEI things, you know, you look at the. Look at their people that work there and you know, so maybe there's some politics involved, but we don't know, you know, but at the other point of it, it would, you know, we had the Token Taxonomy act that kept dying in. In committee. So there's no path to any type of clarity for the crypto space. And here you go. Here's. Clayton's on his way out. Here's. Here's a hand grenade for. For Gensler here. Deal with this. Yeah, Nobody thought it was going to drag on for, you know, umpteen 30 years or whatever. We've been at it, what is it, three years now? Four years.
- [26:01]
Chip
Yeah, three years.
- [26:02]
Jeff
Three years.
- [26:03]
Chip
What do you think of the statement here by Jim D. Charles Hoskinson is the single point of failure for Cardano crypto enthusiasts? If he drops dead, so does Cardano. What do you think about that?
- [26:13]
Jeff
I don't know. That's a. It's a good question. I don't know if that's accurate. I don't know. I mean, it's possible. If he does die, is he. Is he the. Is he the single point of failure?
- [26:23]
Chip
I don't know.
- [26:23]
Jeff
Do you have any backbone?
- [26:24]
Chip
He's got a team. I mean, I would imagine there's got to be somebody else something, right?
- [26:29]
Jeff
I get. Yeah. I don't know enough about ADA to say. And his, his overall network. And they could have gone after him just the same, but it wouldn't have the same impact.
- [26:39]
Chip
Bullish Mr. K. Who he had the pleasure of being in down under there. He said it's an old guard banking stall, say lost XRP is about to say, hold my beer. It can't say it fast enough. I'm gonna be real Honest with you, it just really can't hold my beer fast enough. I would love this. Be that to be the case. I would love nothing more than that. But we'll see.
- [26:57]
Jeff
Wait, Mark brings up XRP retreated the second we stopped streaming yesterday, and it actually did. I don't know if you noticed, but as soon as we. It was take going up to like a buck 15 or whatever, I think.

I think Cobb started streaming it, quite honestly. But Swift is great. They've invented a return phone call, literally, to confirm sending transaction for the sake of security. My sister told me she used it daily call. That's modern technology, Jeff.
- [27:28]
Jeff
But Swift. Think about Swift, right? 1974, they bring Swift together because the banks weren't properly communicating with each other to make transfers. Transfers were much, much more difficult, you know, pre 1974. You bring this conglomerate together and they had a common language to allow them to transact between banks, simplify the process, come up with a solution. And we're obviously, we're still working on it today. It's not that it's that it doesn't work. It's that it's extremely inefficient. If you've ever had to work through Swift, and if you've ever done that and you go three to five days with zero transparency, and then when it fails, for whatever reason, you know, if there's something off on the transaction, you don't find out about it until one of the parties finds out, hey, I didn't get the money. Hey, can you find out why you didn't. Your money didn't go through. They go to the bank, and the bank tells them, oh, it failed. It didn't process. It didn't go through. Now you wait for the kick bit for the return of the funds before they can try to reissue the funds. And I've been through that multiple times. You know, Chip, I don't know if you've ever had that. That pleasure of having Swift transactions returned. And you. You could be waiting 10 days, you know, although, you know, doing a transaction all over again because it was inefficient and zero transparency. And that's the fix.
- [28:48]
Chip
Supposedly four hours an hour. They're using some kind of crypto now.
- [28:53]
Jeff
It's different now. There's technology.
- [28:55]
Chip
Yeah, bmax said. I thought that I heard yesterday that Trump tapped Clayton for something. Yeah, he was tapped for. For the. The Southern District of New York, U.S. attorney's office. That's what he was. That's what he was tapped for. There you go. So you have it Right. There you have it.
- [29:14]
Jeff
So Jim says Swift's bug is just to buy three days of settlement. Well, especially now, I mean, because they can do it faster. But I'm sure there's aml, there's other things that are going on in the interim. But if, if there's a. There are scenarios at least. You know, I faced them before. And, and now obviously the technology, they're doing a lot of other things. Who knows what they're building on the back end? You know, it's. How do you, how do you go up against that? And I, and I think Ripple has also run into how difficult it is to, to run into what they're, you know, how do you compete with a conglomerate of 10,000 banks that are all together and they somehow have an ownership within the conglomerate of Swift? So how do you fight that? How do you take that on, even with a better technology? And how long does it take banks to actually change their technology when they have legacy computers in the banks that are way outdated? So what do you do with that.
- [30:16]
Chip
All together with duct tape, man? Pretty much. Look at this. Charlie Gasparino, people may disagree with his stance on xrp. Most of the time I think he's just having a good laugh and trolling and having fun. But he's been pretty spot on lately. And this is a good critique here. This is Secretary Anthony Blinken, who's also one of the dumbest humans in the administration. Today we announced that the United States will support the city of Lima. Now, he doesn't fails the city of Lima because there are cities in the US Named Lima. This is Lima, Peru. But when you want to spin it, you say the city of Lima. Why wouldn't you say Lima, Peru? Okay. Building a new passenger train line that will expand access to reliable and affordable transportation for over 200,000 people in a single day. And what he fails to mention is it's $10 billion. They're just giving it away. And Charlie Gasparino had this to say. He said, well, the border is being overrun, cities are going broke because of the migrant crisis, 35 trillion in debt, plus all those poor people, and North Carolina because of the hurricane. And this is what the White House is spending money on. Still wondering why Trump won. Now go back. I'll go back to freaking out over Matt Gates. It's a good, it's good analysis, Jeff. This is exactly right. They're tired of this kind of bull crap right here.
- [31:37]
Jeff
They're tired of the, of the lies and deception. It just nonstop. So, hey, so obviously we start talking about Swift, we start talking about conglomerates. And then, of course, that's DNI's cue. We threw up the bat signal, the DNI signal, and he shows up because we're talking about Clayton. So he knew he was, he was waiting on the. And so if you look on November 14th. So Trump actually taps ex SEC chair Jay Clayton to be Wall Street's copyright. So he picks Jay Clayton to serve as Manhattan's top federal prosecutor. Jay Clayton has been chosen.
- [32:20]
Chip
Yeah, well, I don't know. All I know is I did watch you where you said keep your enemies close.
- [32:26]
Jeff
Yeah, he did say that.
- [32:30]
Chip
Rob. No, McDermott wants to know, did you see the Franklin Templeton CEO share moving $50 million via Swift cost them 200,000. With XLM, it costs $20. Wait a minute. From his firm, cost 200, 000. And with XLM, it cost him 20. Yeah, close to that.
- [32:50]
Jeff
That's interesting. I like that.
- [32:53]
Chip
I just don't think that. Well, we'll see. I don't know if it's over. I, the problem is the banks are in love with the banks. They're in love with themselves. You know, the banking, the banking cartel is going to end, too. A lot of things are gonna, yeah.
- [33:05]
Jeff
We'Ve seen it happen.
- [33:06]
Chip
Technology, is that the way the banks made money in the past is not the way they're going to make money in the future. And if they don't adapt, they're going to become the newspapers, you know, of the 90s, where they just went out of business, most of them. They're going to be, you know, you know, they're going to be the blockbusters. You know, it's like, who's gonna, who's gonna order a DVD online? Well, yeah, numb nuts, you'll be able to like, turn it on your, you know, and if you're lucky, 80 million people will stream the Tyson fight, and your thing will buffer, but, you know.
- [33:34]
Jeff
It'S a buffer and crash.
- [33:36]
Chip
You know, I mean, that's just, I.
- [33:40]
Jeff
I, I want to point this out, not just for anything but bullish. Mr. K says XRP is at 1:1:1, which is cool. That's a, that's a really sweet number. But not only that, because if you look at when we started streaming over here, it was like a buck eight, Buck six.
- [33:59]
Chip
Was buck six. When I before, right before the show.
- [34:01]
Jeff
Started, I checked 7 yet, so, and we start, right, it goes up to a buck eight, and now it's a buck eleven.
- [34:07]
Chip
So there you go, Cobb.
- [34:09]
Jeff
That's how things Are so tied. They're just tied, tied. Like yesterday we start streaming, boom, it starts going up.
- [34:16]
Chip
Templeton guy said it'll save his $200 million a year. Switching to crypto course. Dude. Yeah, this is, it's like these, you know, listen, there's a paradigm shift happen and they're like, oh, we're the banks, we're the bank. Until you're not. Right? Until we don't care anymore. Right. This is the whole idea. Why if you think about Elizabeth Warren, what is she against? She's against self crypto because you don't need a bank to keep your own. Keep it on a thumb drive, right? Or keep. She doesn't want you doing that because banks don't like that. And she's for the banking cartel. She was fighting them, but that's who gave her all her money. So.
- [34:49]
Jeff
Yeah, and the banking industry is trying to catch up. So if they, the banks can find a way to hold crypto for the public. But just think about ETFs right now, right? So if you can get a bitcoin ETF or you can get a, an XRP etf. Well, you're buying crypto, but you're not owning crypto. You're owning it, but you're only through a security good bet indifferent. I mean it really depends where your money is. If your money is in fidelity and your only path, you know, to move money is through your Fidelity account. And you can buy a bitcoin etf then buy a bitcoin ETF when they have an XRP etf, that's the way you're going to do it. But you're not actually owning the, the asset. So it's interesting. It's already starting to happen, you know, through, through that. So I think it's, it's really interesting. Chad is saying we're not allowed to end the show.
- [35:44]
Chip
Let's. Right now we're ending it.
- [35:47]
Jeff
We're ending right now.
- [35:49]
Chip
Right now. Hang on.
- [35:52]
Jeff
The comment from new crypto regulation mandates OTC to live stream until XRP is 327. It's 589.
- [36:02]
Chip
It'll be worth Jeff. It'll be perfect. Look at this. Go broke. This is book. That's a great book Charlie wrote. Yeah, it's a good book. You gotta like it. He's not been like. He's kind of. I wouldn't say he's an anti trump or he's just not loving Trump, but I think everybody is kind of coming in from a different place these days by the way put in yeti, we only have 12 people. This is sad.
- [36:24]
Jeff
What is that? Lots of yetis. We only 12 yetis.
- [36:30]
Chip
That's because people are putting out them.
- [36:34]
Jeff
Let's see if there might have been doubles. Say a lot more than 12 yetis. But there could be doubles here. That's why they started way up here. One, two. Wonder if we got a refresh or something. But I can't tell because there could be doubles. Yeah, there's a bunch of doubles. Type in yeti. I think you have to type in all capital, right? Do you have to type it as capital?
- [37:00]
Chip
I don't think you do.
- [37:01]
Jeff
Case sensitive.
- [37:03]
Chip
I don't know if you do or.
- [37:05]
Jeff
Not, but just in case. Type in case sensitive. Just in case. Type in yeti. All capitals. Just in case. Not 100.
- [37:16]
Chip
Sure. I think it's actually all caps, but maybe it is.
- [37:19]
Jeff
Yep. So we typed it all caps. So if everyone types it in again, type it all caps. No lowercase 100 caps. And then we'll see how that impacts the count. So. All right, 111. Where are we at? What's next? What's next on the agenda?
- [37:38]
Chip
I was trying to find something that funny to do posted, but, you know, he posts every 20 seconds, so it's incredibly hard to find it.
- [37:45]
Jeff
Who's that?
- [37:46]
Chip
Charlie Gasparino.
- [37:48]
Jeff
Oh, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie Gasparino.
- [37:52]
Chip
He's something. Well, in the XRP committees, Freddy Cat.
- [37:56]
Jeff
Wrote yeti, all caps. I said write it all cap. Nice. Verbatim.
- [38:02]
Chip
Oh, my gosh. Say good night, crazy. Good night, Gracie. Let's see. Yeah, basically it was something about he's authorized Ellie Terror to be able to even talk about it, which made it so popular, something to that effect. And people are like, I gotta put on. He's just tweaking you, man. He's just tweeting. Michael. Michael Schellenberger tweeted this photo out. This is Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump, and then RFK Jr. And he said, this is on a plane. That's. That's Musk. Anti war. Anti Corp. Anti war. That would be Tulsi Gabbard. Anti corporate corruption positions by Democrats, Republicans will go down as one of the worst political blunders of the 21st century. I wholeheartedly agree with that, don't you? Yeah, it was a messed up. And then watching, watching Bill Maher talk about it. Can't play those clips because we'll get like a straw. It should be fair use. I mean, we're promoting him last night Jon Jones won a fight and he did the epic Trump dance when he went up before he went over to go say hello to Trump.
- [39:10]
Jeff
Yeah.
- [39:13]
Chip
Football team is doing the Trump dance. When they get in the end zone. It's been the drum.
- [39:19]
Jeff
I love it.
- [39:21]
Chip
Like it's become such a. I mean, it's so crazy iconic, you know, I mean, my God, such a. It's so ridiculous. It's funny. I mean, my gosh, it's insane. It's insane. Nick Sorter posted.
- [39:34]
Jeff
Man, look at that. Rob McDermott seven year anniversary.
- [39:39]
Chip
Let's do it, baby.
- [39:41]
Jeff
You know what? I think I'm probably there with you around that. Right around that same period of time.
- [39:47]
Chip
California congressional seat now set the flip from Republican to Democrat after thousands of new ballots pour in. How the hell are they still counting ballots in California? Rep. Michelle Steele, who's an incumbent, had been leading by thousands of votes until today. And now the Democrat challenger is leading by 31 votes. There is no way California is corrupt as hell. So this is. Remember Trump said people are going to jail. They're going to jail, man. You. The election's over. It ended a week and a half ago. Jeff.
- [40:17]
Jeff
And they're still counting. They're still counting ballots. Pennsylvania, they said they had like 80. How many, how many? That 80,000 of ballots are counting.
- [40:28]
Chip
That's what, I don't know how many they're counting, but it's ridiculous. They're counting illegitimate ones in Pennsylvania that the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania said that anything came over after election day. They can't count and they're counting votes. Those people are going to jail. They're trying to have, they're trying to flip a Senate seat, not get a stoke out.
- [40:46]
Jeff
It's so, it's so insane. So they had a, a. Where is that one article? Let me see if I can pull it up. The guy's being charged with a felony in Minnesota. It was a judge.
- [40:59]
Chip
Yeah.
- [40:59]
Jeff
For the election. And he got. He's being charged with a felony for corruption. Let's see. See if it's still here. It is not up. I don't see it now. Huh? You know, the Met, the Pentagon is missing $824 billion again. That's it. No big deal. They misplaced 824 billion.
- [41:24]
Chip
It's going to be in trouble for it.
- [41:25]
Jeff
Don't worry about it.
- [41:27]
Chip
It's going to happen. Look at this post by Brian Armstrong of Coinbase. He says Doge is a once in a lifetime opportunity to increase economic freedom in the US and cut the side Run back down to health. Did you know Doge was. He's talking about, you know, he's saying Doge.
- [41:45]
Jeff
He's talking about a different Doge.
- [41:47]
Chip
But this Doge is a government department of Government Efficiency. Right? So somebody actually had. Somebody actually somehow got at Doge, which is remarkable. They got that thing. So if you think he's talking about Dogecoin. No, no. He's talking about the Department of Government Efficiency. This one threw me for a loop too. It's got to be Doge, right?
- [42:06]
Jeff
Love it.
- [42:06]
Chip
Oh, they got Doge. So he said the founding fathers were geniuses, but with humility may have missed the adverse incentives which grow the size of democratic government over time. Winning elections by promising more free stuff to future. Proof this. We may need a constitutional amendment capping total government expenditures, say, let's say 10%. Or a way to align incentives. Buffett famously suggested an unbalanced budget makes all members of Congress who vote for it ineligible for reelection. I agree with that. You ideally have to have a way to temporarily dial up burn, say, in wartime, but you still have the right incentives not to let spending get totally out of control longer term. An example would be a US Sovereign wealth fund where every citizen gets a share. Maybe people can buy more if they want, and any budget surplus pays a dividend. Every citizen then has skin in the game. Maybe Congress gets a slightly larger stake. No, I say no. I say nay, nay to that. What are the best ideas out there to align incentives towards fiscal discipline long term? This dude chimed in and said, or just a flat tax. It's easy to convince people to spend other people's money frivolously instead of.
- [43:19]
Jeff
That's the accountability.
- [43:22]
Chip
And then Armstrong came in and said, yeah, this would help. Honestly, getting rid of individual income tax entirely would be ideal. Shifting tax reporting burden to businesses instead, try to generate equivalent revenue via a sales tax or on a business income or etc. It's kind of crazy that we ask every adult in the US to figure out how to pay their taxes. The tax code is more than 150,000 pages long. No single person fully understands it. Would be better off to offload this burden to the 10,000 largest companies instead of asking 200 million adults to figure out the complex accounting task annually. What are your thoughts on this, Jeff?
- [43:58]
Jeff
I agree, you know the way they do it. But I think if you get rid of federal income tax, imagine every dollar earned is a dollar saved. You can do whatever you want with it. You'll have more disposable income every family will have more disposable income. It'll, it'll immediately immediately inject cash flow into the economy because people are going to have it and they're going to spend it. They're going to be able to buy things they couldn't buy before and it's going to be good, it's going to be good overall for the economy and people are going to be able to save every dollar earned. I mean, you think about how much of your money goes out in taxes and trying to. And then you have to hire a CPA or an account, assuming the CPA and the accountant is staying up to, up to snuff on everything also. Then you got to figure out can you write stuff off. But then if you're a business and you have tax accountants and lawyers and all this stuff or you know, when you hit a certain economic status to where you can afford to have these, you know, higher, then you can look and find ways to write off, especially if you own business and properties and whatnot. You know, but I think just to make it, make it easy. Plus it's, it's not in the con. There's nothing in the constitution that is forcing us to pay this level of tax, you know, and so could you say we have taxation without representation? Well, when the government is now full time taking our money and I was weird I was talking about this earlier. You have government employees that can't be fired. They have professors, they get tenured. But you have government employees that can't be fired and they get a pension. So you're paying out of your tax dollars to pay their salary and you're taking out of your tax dollars to pay their pension. Why should they have a pension? Why can't they just have a 401k like everybody else? You know, what, what is this dynamic that is says that every government employee automatically has to have some sort of a government pension. Those are, those are our dollars. That's our money that they're, that they're spending on people. That, and this is why that the doge is so critical, you know, because they have to slash. There's so much inefficiency within government. These people that aren't needed duplicated efforts, ridiculous amounts of money spent. Slash 80 of government. Then you're automatically going to see you don't need the tax dollars. You know, the tax dollars. We need to the government's responsibility, protect the citizens from foreign invasion, make sure that our infrastructure is, is up, is up to par. Obviously there could be a few other things within it. But you take all that away. You don't need the fat, you don't need the bloat and make Congress part time again. You don't need Congress to be full time, you know, go back into a, into a scenario where you can find a better path to cutting the fraud. And I think that that would be, you know, massively helpful, at least. The starting point is get rid of the federal income tax. You want to go to a fair tax, Go to a fair tax. You want to do it through tariffs, do it through tariffs. It has to be a mix. It's going to be over a period of time, but I think within two years. Trump has promised already that the Doge is going to be impactful. So by the 250th anniversary, 2026 July, that it's all going to be done and we're going to be well on our way. And if they can cut out federal income taxes as part of that, people are going to be so happy, man. Dancing in the streets. Dancing in the streets.
- [47:42]
Chip
Look at this. This is a, this is an interesting take. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis should appoint Matt Gates to fill the U.S. senate seat of Marco Rubio, who's becoming Secretary of State. State. Then the US Senators will have a choice making either Matt Gates the Attorney general or have to deal with him every day in the US Senate for the next two decades. That's a funny take right there, Jeff. What do you think of that?
- [48:04]
Jeff
I love it. I love the idea. You know, I think. Could you imagine Rhinos? The Rhinos, you know, they, they want to find a way to try to not, not, you know, Adam as a, as Attorney General would be great.
- [48:21]
Chip
Yeah. And then this right here, we've got this story here. This is so funny. By the way, I just caught the bills won against the defeated.
- [48:29]
Jeff
Congratulations to that.
- [48:31]
Chip
It's not even here. Chiefs fan here at an otc, aside from Connie. But Justin's not here. And I wanted to talk a little bit because he's got defeated nine and. Oh, now nine and one. So Bill's beat them. And then right after I started watching 60 Minutes, you know, it came on and he had Scott Pelley with his real official voice. He's like. And there's a lot of controversial picks that have been done by President Elect Trump. And he goes. And I'm like, okay. He goes, for example, RFK Jr. And he starts like some nonsense. Matt Gates, Attorney General, there's an investigation. First of all, that investigation came up short. They admitted that the witnesses they had. Were not even reliable. And now they're trying to drudge this up and say, we're going to release it. I'm like, you already did the investigation that came up. You know, they're trying so hard. Then he said, and Tulsi Gabbard, who's a Russian asset or some, I don't know, some garbage like that. It's amazing. Do a fair tax. Do a fair tax, Jeff. That's what we need. I just get rid of taxes all together. Gosh. We threw the. We threw the tea into the harbor over 3% tax because we had representation. We were paying it over to the king and we're like, hey, you know, we got zero representation over here. You weren't giving you the money. We got nothing. Nothing. You know, we're not even represented here. So it's ridiculous, right?
- [49:54]
Jeff
I won't be wrong. XLM is the chosen one. It does seem that way. Okay, is the chosen one bags, dude, 22 cents. 22 cents already. It's a. Jason, it's crazy that the XLM, the Stellar is going up. But here's this one chip, the one you kept talking about. Where is it? Look at 386.
- [50:18]
Chip
There you go. A couple weeks ago. That's the next salana right there, baby. Could go to zero. Nobody knows. There's. Nobody has.
- [50:28]
Jeff
Nobody knows which way these are going.
- [50:30]
Chip
Nobody knows.
- [50:33]
Jeff
And then the ship. The ship is just sitting stationary at 2500.
- [50:39]
Chip
It's got the same sort of graph all the way there, you know?
- [50:42]
Jeff
Yeah, all of them. Sure. They're all very similar.
- [50:46]
Chip
I hit the sneeze button in time. Yay. Yeah. Look at this right here. Jeff J. Bhattachararia, An NIH critic emerges at the top candidate to actually lead the agency. This is a Stanford physician who excoriated NIH's director in 2020 for his fringe ideas on Covid. Four years later, the power in Trump's Washington and this Matthew Iglesia said, it's kind of like, it's kind of weird that de platforming Trump has just like completely worked with no visible downside whatsoever. And then wait, here it is. Megan Kelly said yes, a thousand times yes to this. Can you imagine the guy that like just went off on it? My. The agency. So you just close it down. They're going to close down the Department of Education. They're going to back to state rights, which it should be.
- [51:36]
Jeff
Yep. Gotta go.
- [51:38]
Chip
They spend billions of dollars. I forget how many billion dollars. Send that back to the states, run.
- [51:43]
Jeff
Their own nothing Nothing. You go to school, there's nothing federally mandated in the school. It's all garbage. It's just, it's unbelievable as they dummy it down.
- [51:54]
Chip
It's a pile of heaping crap is what it is, Jeff.
- [51:56]
Jeff
Now what, what's the point of the school board? What do you need a school board for if everything's federally mandated? So why do you have a board of education? What's, what's the purpose? What's the point? And then you have your school board and then you're at the state level and then you're at your county level because of, of the school board, you know, for the county. What, what's the purpose of all that? You know, just too much.
- [52:17]
Chip
It really is. Well, Jeff, I want to just let, I want to let know that there is some hope. They do have, they do have something they can turn to if they really want to get through the next four years. And then when Vance is the next president or Vivek or, you know, you name Byron Donald's, you name it, they're not getting for the next four years. Want to see what it is?
- [52:39]
Jeff
Yes.
- [52:39]
Chip
Check it out.

- [53:49]
Jeff
That's right.
- [53:50]
Chip
And this is the. Probably the most bizarre. I don't even know, honestly.
- [53:53]
Jeff
We're gonna get it. Yep.
- [53:55]
Chip
Somebody put this out there and they said this is Trump's border wall. I don't even know what it is. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. Look at this.
- [54:01]
Jeff
Oh, the Board of Education report. Oh, what is this?
- [54:15]
Chip
Thanks for your collaboration. And remember, don't come back again.
- [54:31]
Jeff
Wait a minute, please. Oh, my God.

Chip
I have no idea what that's from. I don't know what it is. You see, Trump's in there, like, controlling. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. It's. This AI is awesome.
- [55:15]
Jeff
It's so crazy. It's amazing.
- [55:17]
Chip
It's not a funny thing too. Is like the left can't meme at all. Like every time they try to do a meme or something, they're just unsuccessful at it.
- [55:24]
Jeff
They suck.
- [55:25]
Chip
And I wanted to let everybody know that Chris Wallace is no longer at cnn. Apparently he got fired.
- [55:29]
Jeff
I mean, indoctrination chip. That's what the Board of Education is.
- [55:32]
Chip
Communization. Right? This was. Here's a throwback clip when Trump appeared with. With Chris Wallace and he. Chris Wallace tried to give him some bullshit. And Trump's like, no, that. It's not right.
- [55:43]
Jeff
We have one of the lowest mortality rates. Well, we're gonna take a Look.
- [55:47]
Chip
We had 900 deaths on a single day.
- [55:50]
Jeff
We will take a look this week.
- [55:52]
Chip
Ready?
- [55:54]
Jeff
Please get me the mortality rate. Yeah, Kaylee's right here. I heard we have one of the lowest, maybe the lowest mortality rate anywhere in the world. You have the numbers, please? Because I heard we had the best mortality rate and they stopped counting. Mortality rate of flu, number one, low mortality rate.
- [56:13]
Chip
I hope you show the scenario because.
- [56:15]
Jeff
It shows what fake news is all about.
- [56:16]
Chip
Okay, I don't think I'm fake news, but I.
- [56:18]
Jeff
We'll put our. We'll put our stats. You said we had the worst mortality rate in the world.
- [56:25]
Chip
There you go. That's how you. That's how Trump taught them how to do it. That's how you do it.
- [56:30]
Jeff
They're such liars. They're such liars. There was no flu. No. Nobody died of anything other. Other than Covid back then. That was the. That was the. The only thing people died of. And the flu kills, what, 30 to 50, 60,000 people every. Every year die of the. Of just the flu.
- [56:49]
Chip
And they're worried about our picks, Jeff. They're worried about the picks on the Right. They're worried about what they're choosing on Trump administration. But look at this. This is Pete Buttigieg, who's the Transportation secretary. An underpass was constructed such that a.
- [57:02]
Jeff
Bus carrying mostly black and Puerto Rican.
- [57:04]
Chip
Kids to a beach, or it would.
- [57:06]
C
Have been in New York, was Designed.
- [57:09]
Jeff
Too low for it to pass by.
- [57:10]
Chip
But that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices.
- [57:14]
Jeff
I don't think we have anything to.
- [57:15]
Chip
Lose by confronting that simple reality.
- [57:18]
Jeff
And I think we have everything to.
- [57:19]
C
Gain by acknowledging it and then dealing with it.
- [57:22]
Chip
Which is why the reconnecting communities. That billion dollars is something we want to get to work right away. Jeff, this is, this is. These are the. These are supposedly the smartest picks ever. He's talking now. Now it's racist to have a. By the way those. That's all set forth. Nobody designs for racism because they trust the whole. If there's a bus of Puerto Rican or. I mean what's even talking about. It's insane.
- [57:48]
Jeff
These people believe their own. You can see he believes it. He's like. They're so just crazy. These all the people, all the people they put into leadership, they're all fringe. They're all people that are meant to be in the shadows and the fringe like they're not supposed to be operating in normal society. It's like just put them out there. They can live however they want to live. They can say the nonsense they want to say. But they're not meant to be in leadership positions because you can't take somebody that is like is a. Is a follower beta type personality and put them into a big leadership position. When these people have these insane ideas and they're all suffering of some sort of a mental illness, mental breakdown. He can't take that kind of person. And they push them into leadership positions. They don't belong there. And this is the type of garbage you get from them. I mean it's just. That's all we've seen, you know for the past three and a half, four years are people like that and saying stupid things. It's just horrible. But they also, they're also. You could tell it is core. He's. He's racist. The thoughts that have to go into even thinking something like that just like their whole ideas, you know, it's just that. That's all. That's how they think in division, in ways of division, you know. So their whole world is all just race, race baiting, racism. You know, just. It's just so. And they're just projecting this onto other people. You know, I'm so.
- [59:12]
Chip
He's right. They rolled up all the cause mortality rates falsely attributed to Covid to incite fear and funding. Yeah, of course they did. It's insane what they're doing. Got two videos left.
- [59:23]
Jeff
One of them is calcified pineal Gland, Pineal, Glen.
- [59:28]
C
Start with something that I think is also.
- [59:30]
Chip
So this is a, this is a throwback here. Someone reposted I had seen in the original, but this is when they went after Tulsi Gabbard, telling her all kinds of lies about her. And she went on the View and this is great. Remember, she nailed Kamala Harris in the 2020 debate. She just took her out. I mean, she's an amazing woman here. But listen to this.
- [59:48]
C
I want to start with something that I think is also important about facts. Because recently on your show here, I.
- [59:55]
Jeff
Was just gonna get to that.
- [59:56]
C
Good. Helping you out. Some of you have accused me of being a traitor to my country, a Russian asset, a Trojan horse, or a useful idiot. We haven't accused you of a useful idiot, I think was the term that you used, which basically means that I'm naive or lack intelligence to know what's going on.
- [60:16]
Jeff
They use that. I guess we were getting. We're getting a little bit far ahead of ourselves. But Franklin Graham finds you refreshing. He doesn't find me refreshing. Richard Spencer, the white nationalist leader, says.
- [60:29]
C
He could vote for you, Joy. This is why you're on Ted McCallson.
- [60:33]
Jeff
At least 10 times.
- [60:34]
C
Why don't you go on Christmas show? This is why I'm here. Because you and other people continue to spread these in your. That have nothing to do with who I am. You called her the queen of war, Mon. You doubled down. Unfortunately, you double down on the baseless accusations that she made. That strikes at the core of who I am. I'm a soldier. We actually have the clip of Hillary Clinton.
- [60:57]
Chip
Just to put this in context of.
- [60:58]
C
What we're talking about. Let's take a look at that. I'm not making any predictions, but I think they've got their eye on somebody who's currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third party candidate. She's the favorite of the Russians. That's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she's also a Russian asset.
- [61:18]
Chip
Russian asset.
- [61:19]
C
So really, I mean, this is outrageous. This is outrageous and offensive on so many levels. It's offensive to me as a soldier, as an American, as a member of Congress, as a veteran, and frankly as a woman to be so demeaned in such a way. But you called her the personification of she's a woman. Well, I'm pointing to the fact that she has continued this legacy of being the world's police around the world that has waged wars costing the lives of thousands of my brothers and sisters in uniform. What's your act to change?
- [61:51]
Jeff
Well, can I.
- [61:52]
C
Are you serious? Are you serious? I served in the war, not your car.
- [61:56]
Jeff
You're saying that she's.
- [61:57]
C
Exactly.
- [61:58]
Chip
She's.
- [61:58]
C
A war in Iraq that she championed. She championed a regime change war in Libya, I believe the lies that were told to us.
- [62:09]
Jeff
Well, so did she.
- [62:12]
C
It is. It is indisputable to say anything other than the facts. Let me just close this out. That Hillary Clinton, throughout her career, has led with the foreign policy of interventionism and being the world's police, going and toppling dictators in other countries that has caused such destruction and loss of life. I must against that.
- [62:31]
Chip
If something was so catastrophic that we did have to draft people, why shouldn't women go? But why bring it up in an election year? Are my two questions.
- [62:39]
C
Well, first of all, we shouldn't have a draft at all. No, I don't think so.
- [62:44]
Chip
What if it's an emergency?
- [62:45]
C
The fact that they're bringing this up now to me points to the fact that the only reason we would need a draft is because our warmongering politicians are starting wars that they know the American people aren't going to support. When you look at what happened after the attack.
- [62:58]
Jeff
Well, they didn't start the war.
- [63:00]
C
Well, when you look at what happened, well, you look at what happened after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thousands and thousands of people from all across the country set aside their lives and volunteered because they wanted to go and fight for freedom and security and for peace. And you look at what happened after the attack on 9 11. So many Americans like myself, we enlisted to be able to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of the American people. To me, it's a big red flag that they're bringing this up right now, first of all, as we have multiple wars burgeoning around the world. But as a, as a. You know, I've been deployed three times to different war zones. I don't want to be in a foxhole next to somebody who doesn't want to be there. And it is because of my love for our country and specifically because of the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party, party of the people and the party of peace, that I'm proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I'm joining the Republican Party, the party of the people, the party of equality, the party that was founded to fight against and end slavery in this country. It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace. It's the Democrat elite and the permanent Washington establishment. The war machine made up of both Democrats and Republicans who are abusing their power, undermining our God given rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution with one goal and objective in protecting their power at any cost. Now every member of Congress in the U.S. senate, they all took an oath. The sad reality is that many of these very people who raised their right hand and said those words pose a direct domestic threat to the freedom of our country today.
- [65:05]
Chip
There you go.
- [65:07]
Jeff
Thank God for people putting stuff like that together. Because there's videos, Videos. It's gonna stay up. You know, what's up with that? Oh well, you look at that and, and they're still at it. There's Debbie Wasserman Schultz who had to, she had to leave the, at the head of the DNC out of disgrace because she tried to help Hillary cheat by giving her the questions during, during the debate. And here she goes again this past week making claims that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset just trying to. They resurrect the bs. They lie there. Maybe some of their core group that follow them believe every one of their lies, but they keep app. They're, they're really good about towing the line. They never waver from their, from their line. They're, they're constant. You know, it's already been, you know, shown that she isn't. Now you have Tulsi Gabbard who's nominated to take over and be the in charge of intelligence in this country. And was. And was Schultz is going to go after her and make this false claim again that she's a Russian asset. Yeah, it just, it's unbelievable.
- [66:20]
Chip
That's amazing to me, Jeff.
- [66:22]
Jeff
And Waserman Schultz is irrelevant somehow. She won Broward county again. I still, I don't understand how she wins her election here. You know, even though there's more Democrat. I just, just based on the outcome of who voted for president. I just don't see. I mean, I understand why, you know, there's certain powers, you know, in, they keep pulling for here, but it's insane that she keeps winning. I just don't believe she really won.
- [66:47]
Chip
I don't think so either. She's.
- [66:48]
Jeff
I don't think so.
- [66:50]
Chip
She's a. That's all I got to say. It's all she is.
- [66:54]
Jeff
She definitely is. Without a doubt.
- [66:55]
Chip
You gotta get out of here, man.
- [66:57]
Jeff
But we got to do that. We got to do the. The pick.
- [67:00]
Chip
Let's do it.
- [67:00]
Jeff
Let's do last. Let's do it. So we're gonna get. Get your Zaman wallets ready too, because we're going to need your Zaman wallet address. You're going to throw that into the. The comment as soon as you get chosen. So get ready to do that, and then we're gonna roll with the.
- [67:18]
Chip
Okay, let's do it. I'm gonna.
- [67:19]
Jeff
I'm gonna pick giveaway this beautiful. There we go. Ready to draw the countdown.
- [67:24]
Chip
Let's see. Boom. Let's see who it's going to be today. Who's gonna be leaving with a badass yeti? Badass Jim D. Boom. Jim D. Jim D wins.
- [67:39]
Jeff
Jim D was a yeti.
- [67:41]
Chip
You have Jim D's wallet from the other day, dude.
- [67:44]
Jeff
Oh, yeah.
- [67:46]
Chip
Because somebody gave it to him. Some gifted. Someone gifted it to him.
- [67:49]
Jeff
Someone gifted one to Jim D. So.
- [67:51]
Chip
He'S got another election.
- [67:53]
Jeff
He wins again. Jim D. Jim D Wins. Nice.
- [68:07]
Chip
If you put it in there, it means you're not gonna win, apparently, because that would be perfect for us. We just go, we got it. We're out. See you later. Good night. No, can't happen that easy. No, he says give it to someone else. All right, let's draw again. Ready?
- [68:22]
Jeff
All right, we're rolling it again. Here we go. Thank you, Jim D. Throwing it back in the hat.
- [68:27]
Chip
All right, you guys are all back in the running here. Who's got it? Who's got it?
- [68:34]
Jeff
Scott M. Scott, if you're here, are you still here? Scott M. Scott, you gotta throw in your. Throw in your Zaman wallet address. Rob.
- [68:51]
Chip
I was ready.
- [68:53]
Jeff
Rob was ready. Come on in there already. It's rigged.
- [68:59]
Chip
It's an automated system. I just hit the button.
- [69:03]
Jeff
Rob. I'll get it to him.
- [69:05]
Chip
I think Jeff and I are smart enough to create something like this. No, it's part of this program here.
- [69:11]
Jeff
Yeah, this is actually part of Streamyard, which is really cool. If Scott. If Scott isn't here, we're gonna have to.
- [69:20]
Chip
You need at least chime in there, Scott. You need to least say, hello, I'm here. If you don't, I'm gonna. We're gonna choose.
- [69:30]
Jeff
Russian, I think. I think the Russian Russians definitely hack the Yeti lottery.
- [69:38]
Chip
Definitely. He's a Russian asset.
- [69:43]
Jeff
Actually, I think the yeti is a Russian asset.
- [69:46]
Chip
There you go.
- [69:47]
Jeff
There it is. Congrats, Scott.
- [69:49]
Chip
Scott, you need to. You need to.
- [69:51]
Jeff
There's no Scott. I think we lost Scott.
- [69:54]
Chip
Yeah, I think Scott's gone.
- [69:55]
Jeff
I Think Scott's be nice if we could see everybody that was like, logged in and watching.
- [70:01]
Chip
I don't see Scott. There he is.
- [70:04]
Jeff
And then, and then what if he's. Oh, there he is. All right, Scott is here. I was gonna say, what if somebody's like behind the thing? So we actually have to type it in here. Yeah, we see him.
- [70:14]
Chip
We need your common wallet.
- [70:17]
Jeff
Yeah. Scott, we need your Zaman wallet. Yep.
- [70:21]
Chip
He said he posted it. Did you see it?
- [70:23]
Jeff
Oh, hang on a minute. It didn't come through on that side. So let me.
- [70:29]
Chip
I see Rob's wallet. I don't see Scott's wallet.
- [70:32]
Jeff
All right, hang on. Let me double check. It's funny, sometimes I don't see it. Like, I'll go in. Is there a yeti? There is. There's a badass yeti's lottery commissioner.
- [70:48]
Chip
We're not that sophisticated, Jeff. They do. They do win the yeti. Yes, they do win a yeti.
- [70:57]
Jeff
Scott, he's in the club. Scott, if you haven't posted your wallet address, post it. If you posted it, let us know that you posted.
- [71:05]
Chip
He says two below his laughing.
- [71:09]
Jeff
Oh, there it is. I got it. I got it.
- [71:11]
Chip
Okay, cool.
- [71:12]
Jeff
I see it. Sweet.
- [71:13]
Chip
I don't. I still don't see it, but good luck. I want the 2 below and I didn't see it, but that's all right. I know.
- [71:17]
Jeff
I got it.
- [71:19]
Chip
Okay, cool.
- [71:20]
Jeff
Yeah, there we go. Let's go a little bit. All right, got it. Okay, sweet me up. I'm gonna send it here in one second and I'm gonna. Seconds.
- [71:38]
Chip
Congratulations, Scott.
- [71:39]
Jeff
Congratulations, Scott. Oh, wait, hang on. It didn't actually copy it. So weird.
- [71:45]
Chip
We're going to be giving away every show, so.
- [71:48]
Jeff
Yeah, we have every show. We're going to be giving away yeti, so stay tuned for the yeti that we give away. Let me see. There it is. Get the perfect. All right, and this is good. So let me. Let me do a quick transfer. You're gonna get it right now. It's on its way.
- [72:11]
Chip
Okay.
- [72:14]
Jeff
And it's can be on its way in two seconds. Let me. What we do, we go into our Zaman wallet and boom, and it is off to you. It is on its on its way. It's verifying.
- [72:33]
Chip
How's the acceptance?
- [72:36]
Jeff
If you go into XRP Cafe, it went through. Go to XRP Cafe, add your log in with your Zaman wallet, and then it'll be over there. You can accept.
- [72:47]
Chip
There you have it.
- [72:48]
Jeff
You go to your Zaman thing and you could look at offers, faves, NFTs and all that good stuff. And somewhere over there, you should get a notification.
- [72:56]
Chip
That's it.
- [72:57]
Jeff
And it's on its way.
- [72:59]
Chip
Enjoy. Have a great night. See you guys on Wednesday.
