Man, something big is coming to Flare. And this time the XRP community may want to pay very close attention to it.
Chip
Yeah, Flair's not. It doesn't seem like they're teasing, just another random update, not the what we're seeing, not what we're going to diving into. They're kind of pointing directly at one part of the XRP story that's. I don't think it's been fully unlocked yet. Jeff.
Jeff
That's it. Now, XRP can move value, it can settle in seconds. It can bridge currencies, connect institutions and move money around the world. But once that XRP arrives, what happens next? That's a big question.
Chip
Well, I want to know is, can you put it to work, Jeff? Can it access lending liquidity, let's say yield programmable finance and do it without giving up custody. Because if the answer is yes, XRP no longer is limited to just being something you simply send and receive.
Jeff
That's it. And that's exactly why Flair, what Flare is building actually matters. You got the FXRP, you got the F assets, you have XRP5 smart accounts, non custodial infrastructure. These are not disconnected announcements. They're all pointing in the same direction. And there's something big coming especially.
Chip
It's one thing to see it from Flare, it's another thing when Hugo Fillion, the CEO is posting it there. And that might be what people's missing. Because people are potentially missing, I would say, because while everyone's waiting for some massive headline to tell them XRP is finally arrived, Ripple's doing this. You know, the infrastructure may already be getting assembled right in front of them. Jeff.
Jeff
Exactly. Piece by piece, wallet by wallet, protocol by protocol. And now Flare is actually telling us something bigger is coming. I'm excited about it.
Chip
I am too. And it was great having Hugo on a few. If you haven't guys haven't seen that, you guys can go back into the and look up the interview we had with Hugo. It was a really good one. He was really fantastic, really transparent. I always like a founder, you bring on and say, hey, is anything off limits? Nothing's off limits. Does. There's no, there's no set in stone. Ask open book, whatever you want so, you know, it's not just another, you know, another like news flare news. I think we find this moment. What happens when XRP finally gains the, you know, capabilities sort of been missing all this time? Because once xrp, you know, can move value and then value can actually be put to work. That question totally changes, Jeff. It's no longer like, what do we. What is XRP waiting for? It becomes more about now. What?
Jeff
What?
Chip
Like now what, Jeff? Like, what's now? What's the next thing? What is that? What? What is that? What is what? What the heck is going on?
Jeff
What is what? We're gonna find out. You ready to kick this thing off?
Chip
Oh, yeah. Let's go.
Jeff
Let's go.
Chip
Welcome to on the Chain.
Jeff
Hey, what's going on, everybody? This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on, Chip? Welcome to on the Chain. Welcome to all those guys out there, guys and gals out there in the on the Chain community. Good to see everybody here. Looking forward to kicking off another one here because tonight we're not just talking about another flare announcement. What do you think, Ship?
Chip
Well, I think we're talking more about what flare might be getting ready to unlock, especially for xrp. This is going to be a good one for years. You know, XRP can conversations always center around speed and settlement. But, you know, we've moved beyond that. We've moving into other areas which I'm, you know, glad to see liquidity moving value around the world. But tonight, kind of digging into what that next question looks like. Some other big things from Ripple as well. Ripple Mint. Something brand new from Ripple. What is Ripple Mint? We're going to dive into that. We'll give you some more info on that. That's pretty much it, Jeff. I mean, we're done. Let's. I think we should probably jump into it.
Jeff
I know. That's why tonight's title really matters. XRP is missing something. What is it missing? But flair may be building the layer that gives XRP access to an entirely different category of utility. We don't know yet, but we're going to find out. And flare is now signaling that something big is coming. So either this is another teaser that gets the XRP community all worked up, kind of like Songbird, or they're getting ready to reveal a major piece of. Of the XRP5 infrastructure that they've been assembling.
Chip
I can't believe you went back to Songbird. You love talking about Songbird. It's like six years ago, Jeff. Songbird.
Jeff
I know. Well, you got to reach back in time sometimes.
Chip
Yeah, this. I think this is going to tell us, like, where the really where the next chapter is. I like stuff that I like teasing stuff. I like when something's come in, you know, tick, tick. It's always fun to see these kind of headings because, you know, it's a Lot more fun than get ready for an announcement that we will be making soon. It's like, ah, that's so boring. Believe it or not, a lot of people seem to still do stuff like that. But you want something that's a little more fun like hey, something's right around the corner. Something is coming. What is it? I don't know. We can't tell you. Let's dive into this. Jeff this is Ripple Mint. You're probably thinking what the hell is Ripple Mint?
Jeff
What is Ripple Mint?
Chip
It's a unified platform for institutions to access Mint, redeem and manage none other than R.L. uSD. So it kind of makes sense. It's built at scale for both UI and API access. I'm thinking most people are probably just going to use the API. Ripple Mint gives institutions the flexibility to automate stablecoin operations. This is a big one. So it's all again under one roof. It integrates the RL USD into the existing systems and it manages digital dollar liquidity across chains. And it's available to existing RL USD users today. We'll pop over here for the announcement. And there it is. Meet Ripple Mint. Why? Because they, you know, if you think about it, you need institutions, they need a, a really a way here to, you know, this is it. It's because you have early USD which is by standard custody and trust New York Department of Financial Services NYDFs Chartered Trust Company but historically RLUSD operations were managed through platform based experience. And it's, it's effective but this approach doesn't necessarily support the needs of what institutions are up to. You know, operating like a scale like where automation real time visibility and then you have system integration are critical. So Ripple Mint expands how that RL access RL USD by supporting both the user interface access for operational control and oversight and programmable access for automation and system lives. So if you're going to automate processes, this is the place to do it. And this is kind of what Ripple's been very good at is making features and making it available. So everything, all of their, their big umbrella of companies and their acquisitions kind of fall into one, one type of thing which is nice.
Jeff
So it's big. I like it, I like the idea behind it. Mint and redeem the RL USD from any source. Big news. Plus it's for program programmatic and operational workflow.
Chip
Yeah, I can see setting up like a bunch of things, like things you're going to do all the time. You just set it up once if you're moving, you know let's see, you're moving R.L. uSD and you're moving around, you're making payments, you know, doing whatever you're doing. You can just automate processes. And that was something that was missing at least on the institution side. So this is it. You know, institutions are already using the custody, ripple custody and you know, they're already using RL USD. Now this gives you just another hook into making it easier for institutions like they can integrate it and to internal operations too. That's another thing like whatever the current workflow, think of it as that integration standpoint because when you have the API running, so things you're doing normally as part of yours now it's in your system. Rather than having to try to piece it together through several other things, you're automating it from your own systems. I think that's going to be a key. I think the API is a big part of that automation that that's going to be able to do it. And then you got the tracking built in. So you got tracking across the whole life cycle, the transaction, you can bring that back in, you can bring it back into your, you know, to, to whatever you're using internally for accounting and oversight and all that. So again, think of terms of bringing that back and being able to do that. The programming thing is huge. You know, having an operational workflow, all these things, you, you just expect massive. That you're going to get out of a, you know, an institution. Right. An institution's need. So it makes a lot of sense that they did. This is cool. I think a lot of, I don't think it got a lot of play. I haven't heard too many people talking about it, but it's a, it's. I think it's just big.
Jeff
I think people overlook actual functional technology within the ecosystem. They're so hyper focused on the price that they typically miss out on the real part of what the development. Yeah, I think you start piecing all these things together and we're talking about real infrastructural development, you know, real building, real growth. This is what it's all about. When we start digging in here, this is what gets to the institution level. This is what brings about real world utility price movement stays super speculative and that's it.
Chip
Yeah, and this part here where it expands additional ecosystems that continued strategy by increasing access to our. So you're thinking about like exchanges, your defi protocols, your payment type applications and any sort of emerging on chain or financial infrastructure. And the expansion also creates a strong Utility. This is like the key thing, what we're really probably listening for here. It's a key utility between XRP and RL USD together. So as rlusd becomes available across these environments, XRP will increasingly serve as a complementary assets for liquidity. And that's the big thing. I think the bringing the liquidity to this is huge. You know, thinking about the settlement, the swaps, collateral, all of these type of things, how it ties back to payments and activity across the whole supported change and that's like. People are like well listening for lsd but everyone like what about xrp? Well there you go, that's it right there, Jeff And I think that when you see it all kind of come together, I think it makes a lot of sense to be able to allow their existing customers access to this kind of tool and then start building internal systems that can communicate and can automate.
Jeff
That's it.
Chip
Yeah, Automation.
Jeff
Automation.
Chip
Automation is where it's at. I love automation, especially when I'm for
Jeff
the next phase of stablecoin.
Chip
I love automation, especially when I'm able to automate Jeff. That's what I really like. That's when I really like automation.
Jeff
Robert wants to know if we're on MySpace.
Chip
Yeah, we are on MySpace. We're very popular on MySpace in case you're wondering.
Jeff
Extremely popular over there.
Chip
Yeah, we're very. I don't know why, part of my screen just got cut off. What the hell. I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to refresh this. Let me see if it bumps me
Jeff
up in a little bizarre in the world of stream yard, you know, give a quick shout out to everybody that is tuning in here with us. Make sure you give a quick shout out to where you guys are tuning in from. Like to see this. We got lions. What is it? Danny Vore podcast over here. Newbie here. Loving the channel. Instantly hooked on the channel. Good to see you. Got Michigan tune in. Got a lot of people that tune in from Michigan, which is, which is outstanding. Yeah, yeah, I like to see the, the Michigan contingency always logging in. So it's always good. Penelope Jones we go see that. Another, another Michigander. Got Detroit right there.
Chip
Detroit, yeah, it's great. It's funny that.
Jeff
And, and then Palm Bay.
Chip
Well, it's our Florida people and of course you and I are formerly of Michigan. We both spent log some time there.
Jeff
That's it. We got the Michigan, Florida. It's always good to see that connection.
Chip
So it's all a lot of, a
Jeff
lot of good connections here.
Chip
It's all very, very, very good and very well. So, yeah, it was really weird. All of a sudden the whole half of my screen disappeared. I re. I couldn't pull it in the browser and so I basically had a refresh which basically knocked me out of there. So Jack McDonald coming in from AZ, got Arizona AZ. It's hot there, man. It's like 1012 degrees there right now.
Jeff
Look at that. New Jersey. Vincent Scully.
Chip
Majestic, New Jersey. Jeff, get it right.
Jeff
Majestic, New Jersey.
Chip
Majestic, New Jersey. Where the governor was getting in front of it. So you know when bad news is going to drop, you want to get in front of it. So you release a story that says over 6,000 illegals accidentally somehow voted in the last election. We don't know. And the best part about it was the new. The governor there shrill. She, she blamed it on the software and the software provider and said, no, no, this was. There were no glitches, there were no surprises. They knew exactly what was happening. Threw them totally under the bus. But you know, you, you are coming. When you're coming out forthright about stuff like this, you know, the hammer's about ready to drop something. So you're like, see, we found it.
Jeff
Hammer's coming big time. Ray. The muzz coming in from New Zealand.
Chip
New Zealand Kiwis.
Jeff
Omni coverage coming in from Northern Ireland. Love you guys. Love Northern Ireland. Love you guys over there. A lot of big things.
Chip
Going to a birthday party of a buddy of Min. My one buddy just got back from. Well, he, he went all the way up to Belfast, but he played golf.
Unidentified Guest 1
He.
Chip
Nine days of golf, eight courses started in, you know, Dublin and went all the way up. Next, next, next, next. Until he went up to Northern Ireland and he. I was asking like, what did you like playing the best? And they just had the greatest time. They, they loved it. But we were talking a lot about Ireland last night.
Jeff
Samuel coming in from old town Vallejo, coming in there, the land of the common. You got, you got Communist California, Communist Colorado.
Chip
Make California. That's what it should be.
Jeff
Commies out there. I don't know what's going on.
Chip
There we go. Jack McDonald stable coins deliver the most value and they're easy to integrate into real world financial operations. That's such the understatement of the year. Yeah, that's how it should go. And Ripple Mint gives institutions a simpler way to access, move and then manage your RL USD across payments, trading and treasury workflows, both UI and APIs. I think the APIs is going to be a big hit. I think most people will build and integrate their own systems. Combined with the RL USD's expanding multi chain footprint, including the XRPL EVM sidechain, we're making regulated digital dollars more accessible wherever institutions build. And man, this is such a. It's so crazy how far Ripple has gone from just a few years. They were just a one trick pony, basically. Dave's here. I see that. Nobody's here. Nobody. What a great thing.
Jeff
Nobody's here. Nobody's here, Chip.
Chip
No, nobody's here. It's good to have nobody here. That's actually the handle if you're listening on the audio podcast. Guys, we have an audio podcast too. It's wherever you can access podcasts, Apple, Google, wherever you do. But sometimes you're in the car, you just want to listen to something. Well, guess what, Put us on in the car. That's how a lot of people consume us. We have a pretty steady listener base and that grows a little bit. But sometimes you're not going to throw your YouTube on, but you can just listen the car. You want to give roadkill, I call it roadkill. You call someone you listen to a podcast, throw our podcast on, subscribe to it over there on Apple or Google, whatever you use to access or even on Spotify. So whatever you want to do to access us, go get us Hawthorne. There's Art.
Jeff
Art came in authored. We got Chad coming in from Celebration.
Chip
Always those guys.
Jeff
And we got all of Florida covered.
Chip
I'll tell you what, they never miss
Jeff
a lot of Florida.
Chip
So look at Jack McDonald Bose 22 announcements in a row. Proud to share Ripple strategic invention investment in notabean notably bringing together RL USD Ripple Payments notably's trusted institutional network to help scale compliant stablecoin payments Identity compliance, transaction authorization enterprise ready stablecoin infrastructure. This is how we build financial institutions and help move it globally. No to being so and strategic investment but again it makes sense, right? If you think about it, I mean totally. Let's see. Not even operators world largest open network for regulated on chain transaction announced that strategic investment alongside the investment notably being Ripple will collaborate to expand enterprise stablecoin payments by integrating Ripple US Arrow USD USD RL USD and then notabeen Flow and exploring how trusted payment authorization can be complement to the payments. So that's it. It's just another another integration, another access point. To date notabean has built the largest open network for moving value on chain safely. Combining travel rule compliance, broader pre transaction verification authorization capabilities spans over 2,300 connected institutions, 100 plus global jurisdictions and over 280 customers, including tier one banks. So I bet you there's some overflow there. But you figure they're probably picking up again some new people that are going to be using RO USD. So again, it's just expansion of what Ripple's doing and it makes sense for them to do that, especially since they're going to go ahead and take on
Jeff
that new piece, which is fantastic, like Vincent said, Jeff. Chip and Jeff coming at you in the morning from wxrp.
Chip
I like that. WXR coming in from wxrp. Hello, everybody. Xrp, wxrp. I like that.
Jeff
Wxrp. Penelope, WXRP in the morning, visiting from Florida. So Penelope's in Taylor, Michigan, visiting from Florida.
Chip
There you go. Florida is people in Michigan, Michigan people in Florida.
Jeff
A lot of Michigan, Florida connections.
Chip
There really is. And then some other news here. XRPL Commons released this one, this banger over here, Jeff. This is ex funding in one part. So there's now xrpl. Yeah. So introducing the XRPL Commons Grants Program.
Jeff
Oh, wait, slow down with that grants program.
Chip
They got a grant. So you notice that Ripple is no longer running the grants program. It's sort of decentralized. Everything from Zodao to. It's different, you know, different places over there in the.
Jeff
In.
Chip
In Asia. And then you've got this. So the next phase of growth is being built by many, funded by many. Here's our part. It's entering a new phase. Over 550 million has already been invested in the ecosystem since 2017. The model shifting towards a distributed network of independent organizations. This was something that was posted in a February 28 blog post by Ripple. Yeah, it's insane. Since 2023, they ran the aquarium, which was an incubator for, you know, MVP stage. That's a minimal viable product. In other words, you got something working, but maybe you don't have the product totally fleshed out. Everybody building an MVP used to take a lot of work. Not with cloud code. You can get MVP up and running pretty quick.
Jeff
You can do it real fast. It's crazy.
Chip
Remember, let's find developers. Screw developers. Jeff and I just do everything ourselves. Like, the stuff we've made is just insane. It blows my mind because I don't know how to code. I know, I know how to. I know how to do. I know how to write specs and I know, I know what I'm looking for now I can write it, do it myself.
Jeff
That's it.
Chip
Don't need someone to do. They also launched the GLOW retroactive funding program for open source contributors. Today we're formalizing the the full structure of how we support builders and how it's. Here's how the program is structured. Number one glow, it's funding the Protocols builder. So that's the retroactive funding bounty program for open source contributors. If you build something that's open source tooling and the ecosystem depends on documenting something that save developers time or anything then GLOWS for you. Right? That launched in October 25th. It's funded 11 projects including Node management and tooling. Then you've got this number building on the XRPL incubate ship scale. This track supports early stage projects building on the XRP ledger.
Jeff
Make waves.
Chip
Make Waves 90 day live challenge that kicked off on June 21st. Builders have until September. September 21st to ship and grow an app in the XRPL mainland. The rewards program rewards the projects with the most users highest on chain volume with. With the 25000 XRP grand prize seems low.
Jeff
That's over. That's over and done with.
Chip
No, it ends on September 2nd.
Jeff
Oh, it ends.
Chip
Okay, 21st. So it kicked off on June 1st but you had to like basically ship an app but you had to grow it and you're being judged on how many what your on chain volume as and how many users the most users you have. So a bonus is available for the first 15 apps to reach 300 users and you got the aquarium that's a nine week incubation program that was launched back in 2023. That's what was initially run out of Paris. But it's not transitioning online for wider accessibility which makes sense. You don't need to show up in Paris and have that cost, just do it online. Then you got the early stage grants which prevents provides individual small grants for projects building on the XRP ledger. Rails grants or milestones based and then they cover both technical integration and growth targets. And what are they looking for? Well, a working product or on a test net or main net. A clear path to generating volume on XRPL and a team that knows what they're building. We don't fund ideas. We open applications in September and that's smart. They never have like hey, I got this great idea. Great. Everything's a great idea, Jeff. Until someone has to do something. It's like hey, can you. Can you find. Can you start coding it? Ah geez, I'm kind of busy.
Jeff
I don't know.
Chip
Nobody ever knows anything. Strategic integrations establish projects, new Rails. The third track is going to work with established products and that's going to be proven teams with existing user bases on other chains to integrate into the XRP ledger. This is kind of cool because I like this aspect of it, Jeff, because you're, you're taking people who already have something functional on another chain. Now you're looping in a new group. This makes a lot of sense.
Jeff
Yeah, this is really good. Especially lobster.
Chip
Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, they talk about lobster here. The powerful wallet on Stellar. It's been integrating XRPL support and partnership with the XRPL commons. And it also helps you find new users too, especially when you cross chain stuff, you know, not be so siloed. But it's nice that they created something just for people to then bridge it over to the xrpl. See, it goes on full stack approach to the ecosystem. At a glance, there's glow, there's the aquarium. It kind of like sums everything up.
Jeff
So much going on and yet there's not enough promotion. Where is this being promoted?
Chip
We just promoted on the chain, Jeff.
Jeff
I know we did.
Chip
Right on ax. I mean, yeah, it's probably continuous.
Jeff
Continuous. Yeah. Where's the outreach? Looking for developers, looking for people that are doing it. I'm glad that, you know, we're able to, you know, promote it, talk about it. You know, we've been going years without this. I think this is such an opportune time right now. If you're a builder, if you have ideas, you know, getting involved, figuring out how you can actually tap into xrp, the xrpl and develop something, you know, built, you know, it's really, really cool to see how this is, to see how this is going. Look at that. Yeah, it's not, I, I don't, I don't know if it's passing this year. You know, here's the. There's be a little momentum.
Chip
But I don't, I've had to, I've had to correct all the morons out there. And 99 of them are morons because they say things. They say things like this. The Senate has to get its act together. The Senate really needs the. No, no, no, no, no. Back that train up. This thing passed out of the House in weeks of the Republican controlled House, the pro crypto arm of the House of Representatives. Boom. It passed in July over a year ago.
Jeff
Right.
Chip
The last year has been the Democrats bitching and moaning, screaming and crying. I mean the only, the only time this has ever happened in history A president agreed to a restriction. Out of 250 years, one president has done it. They wanted ethics. They don't want Trump to benefit from it. They don't want anybody to make money off of crypto. Okay, fair enough. Trump said okay. I think they were shocked. They weren't expecting that. Oh, but it's not good enough. Oh, we want the local attorney generals, Jeff. The local attorney. Well, first of all, local attorney generals cannot enforce federal law. Okay, so what do they want? They don't want. They talk about. They want enforcement, but they want the state AGs. So. Yeah, it doesn't even make any sense. It doesn't even make any sense.
Jeff
Kill it. No, they're just trying to kill it all.
Chip
But it's all been trying to kill it. And all the dopes out there are like, you tell your representative. I'm like your representative. I go. And I'll go, you're Democrat, loser, anti. Everything. Everything Democrat. Stop misrepresenting us. I'll go through all my comments. I spent so much time going through it. Waste. Like, stop wasting people's time. This is about one party. Don't pretend to gloss over it. Call it out for what it is, because it's a. It's a joke. The whole thing is an absolute joke. This whole thing. Look at this. David Schwartz down a guy.
Jeff
They're down McConnell.
Chip
Well, McConnell's fine, Jeff. Don't worry. He's good. He's fine. Look at this. David Schwartz said he learned how to use a plasma cutter. You know what he's fabricating, Jeff? I have an idea what he's doing here. You see what he's doing right there?
Jeff
But he's making an XRP logo.
Chip
He's making a switch. He's finally. He's finally fabricating the switch, Jeff. Finally. After all this time, he finally learned how to make the plasma cutter, and he's making the switch so he can flip it later.
Jeff
That thing's awesome.
Chip
And we can watch the price just go crazy. I mean, this is great.
Jeff
I don't know if I trust anybody with a plasma cutter in their hand.
Chip
Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know if you.
Jeff
So, Robert, Dennis was saying, in the future, I want to come to a serious lecture you guys have on finance in the world and just be in the audience and yell out, margaritas.
Chip
Oh, that would be awesome. Margaritas. That would be awesome.
Jeff
I don't think. Yell out, is it risky?
Chip
Is it risky?
Jeff
Is it risky?
Chip
Yeah, there's nothing really better than that. There really There really isn't. I'm gonna go to some of my replies here, Jeff. Let me see if I can find some of this here. What do we see? Risky. Risky. Is it risky? Let's see. What else do I have here? My gosh. I guess I don't realize. Here we go. Well, here's one.
Jeff
Pull up a good one.
Chip
Here's a good one right here. There's another. Good evening crypto. Used to be good morning crypto. I think they've switched the evenings now, but they run a nice, cool podcast. People are exhausted in Washington, D.C. and the timeline's entering its final moment. Sounds like a recipe to get clarity done. And here's Dave. Crypto, no regrets, Basically said clarity vote next week. He thinks it passes. And I'm like, the Democrats don't seem exhausted. They've been battling the clarity act for over a year now. It seems to be going pretty strong. Right? Right, Jeff. It's like, no, call it out for what it is then. Then we've got this one here, the bitcoin. I don't know why I spent so much time doing this, but I guess it's just fun for me, Jeff. Then we got the bitcoin historian. Senator Lummis is, as we speak, doing everything she possibly can to pass the bitcoin Clarity Act. Jeff.
Jeff
She's not doing anything.
Chip
The bitcoin Clarity Act.
Jeff
She's not doing everything she can do
Chip
you see what he did there to bitcoin? She's actively negotiating with Democrats. She's pushing Trump to compromise on ethics. She's released. That's not pushing the compromise. He already compromised, and she had nothing to do with it.
Jeff
She is doing nothing.
Chip
Look at this. She's been fighting for this bill. So you know what I said? It's interesting that the legend's leaving congress. She will be out in January. And this clip that he talks about, by the way he posts this clip of Lummis, this is. Sometimes I feel like. Jeff, I just like. I feel like I'm the community note for all this shit. Okay? She's talking about the bitcoin strategic reserve, not clarity act, dummy. Okay? The good news is Harriet Hagman, who's in the House right now, she's a clear leader to win the Republican primary. She's very pro crypto. Patrick Witt, who I love, he says, because this is the really funny. Jeff. The three leading U. S. Digital asset trade groups came out and expressed strong support. Patrick Witt said, who's been leading this. Strong support continues to flow. Right?
Jeff
They Express strong. Their objective isn't to express support. Their objective is to lobby Congress in order to get these bills passed.
Chip
No, not Congress. Democrats. Republicans already on board.
Jeff
Well, Democrats, right. We know the Republicans are on board.
Chip
I said I'm guessing everybody except the Democrats see that, Jeff. John Deaton said, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs all want clarity. 60 million Americans want clarity. If the Senate doesn't pass clarity, the American government's truly broken.
Jeff
They're not passing.
Chip
And I said, the Democrat party has been broken for quite some time. Just look at the Gensler era. Let's stop pretending it's the Senate holding up the Clarity Act. Call it what it is. Senate Democrats have been blocking it while the Republican controlled House passed it over a year ago. Facts matter. So should accountability. Here's Mickle, do your part. You want the Clarity act to be passed. Easy. Tell your representative that it must be passed. I'm like, and do what exactly? Convince a Democrat to vote yes. I mean, you got to call it out.
Jeff
That's it. I like that. It's a solid point.
Chip
Daniel, CEO of the XRP Keller wants friction reserved. This has been a big debate between him and vet and people. So he says, I make this face. He goes, he wants a wallet to be open for 0.1. Right? And I'm like, well, not me. I, I like.01. Like something you got to go through the process. But no other chain makes you pre fund a wallet, Jeff, to open it. Like, Yasui doesn't do that. Like there's so many other ones that don't do that. Nobody does that.
Jeff
Topics stellar doesn't do that. Did we just go from the Clarity act to the.
Chip
Hang on, we're just. No, no, we're going down my timeline. Hopefully Chad Steingrabber, who is, who is this guy is like, so. This guy's so full of it. But every once in a while I will chime in. Hopefully everyone can take a moment this weekend to fill out this letter from the blockchain association and tell the Senate to pass the Clarity Act. And then I said, how about telling the Senate Democrats to pass it? This bill moved through the Republican control house over a year ago. It did. So stop hiding behind vague phrases like the Senate. If the Senate Democrats have been the ones holding it up for a year, then say that instead. Right. And then of course, my boy Harry Mack, which I love. All in on the Clarity Act. This is real. All in Blackrock and Fidelity. Yeah, all in the Clarity. Except for the Democrats. Good evening. Crypto Fidelity just signed on. Who cares, Charles? Charles said Fidelity.
Unidentified Guest 2
Wow.
Chip
Has to be narratives flipped. And I'm like, yeah, I'm sure the Democrats will be impressed. They certainly weren't impressed when the only U.S. president in history agreed to accept a crypto related ethics restriction. Funny how every concession is treated as insufficient when the goal posts keep moving. Logic and reason really seem to apply when Democrats are involved. Did I get anything wrong there, Jeff?
Jeff
No, it's exactly the problem.
Chip
And then of course, John Deaton posted this. Coinbase's Farad Shirad is very 100 on this. Personally, I'm disappointed in the Clarity Act. I think it's outrageous on Un American. The customers can't receive interest related to their holdings. Well, geez, John, why do you think that is? Oh, I know. Because the lobbies, the bank lobbyists are in the pocket of the Democrats. Oh, but we didn't say that. I call it Un American. I call it the anti everything Democrats. So I said, jeff, so funny watching the usual suspects, mostly Democrats, lose their minds over Trump making money in crypto. I guess the business. This is funny. He did nothing illegal. The businesses run through family entities and trusts handled by Don Jr. And Eric. Zero laws were broken. Trump is pro real estate, pro business, and now pro crypto. Big shocker there, Jeff. And they are also mad from hotels, golf courses. They gotta shut that down. Now they're gonna bet these provisions he can't make money. And after Trump's first term, he emerged $700 million less rich. Nobody cared like, yeah, Trump lost money. Yay. When Trump announced he was running for office, phony indictments suddenly appeared. Democrats try to stop him from running. Nothing much outrage there. What about the three assassination attempts? Large parts of the left cheered or made excuses. Some even called them justified. Democrats demanded an ethics provision in the Clarity Act. President Trump agreed to it, making him the only US President to ever voluntarily accept the restriction. Yet wasn't enough. At some point, Jeff, I think it's fair to ask whether the issue was ever ethics at all, or whether they're just looking for another excuse to pose the bill. I think we all know that answer.
Jeff
We know exactly.
Chip
And here's Laura Shin, by the way. Laura Shin, who tried to convince us, Jeff, that Kamala Ding Dong Kamalama Ding Dong was gonna accept crypto. They're talking about it in back rooms. They're gonna. She's gonna flip. Right? This is the, the, this is. You got bitcoin maxis and she's an ethereum maxi. Okay. So she says if Clary doesn't pass, I'm gonna be very upset. And it's not because of crypto necessarily. It's because the geopolitical balance is precarious.
Jeff
What does that even mean?
Chip
See, she says a lot of words that don't mean anything. Jeff, thank you for calling her on her. It doesn't mean anything. She's going to be upset, but not because of crypto. Because the geopolitical balance.
Jeff
Balance is precarious.
Chip
And how is it precarious when it's to all the Democrats?
Jeff
Jeff, what is geopolitical balance?
Chip
I don't know what she's talking. Some of the most important industries that determine the global powers. So if the US Isn't the leader, then who? There's no good options.
Jeff
That whole, that whole sentence makes no sense. It's because geopolitical balance is precarious. And finance and tech are some of the most important industries that determine the global powers. Which global powers? What are we talking about specifically? How has that impacted the geopolitical balance? How is the geopolitical balance precarious? And then how does it relate back to finance and tech?
Chip
She's a left.
Jeff
That doesn't impact geopolitical balance. They don't care about the tech. The tech is irrelevant. There's a lot of other elements that do impact the balance of a geopolitical alliance and geopolitics in general. That's not it. It's not tech.
Chip
No, but she can't even analyze anything. She's like, there's no good option. Which means if the US Is not the leader, then things get bad. I don't want to live in that world. So congress people, get your heads out of your asses and think about the world and think about how important it is to world leader. Big capitalist democracy and not in the other systems, please. And I said, well, democracy, I wouldn't think you'd be too upset about calling out the Democrats considering they're the ones that have been holding it up for over a year. By the way, she's a hardcore Democrat. The Republican controlled House passed the bill quickly. The Senate Democrats did what they do best. They found another reason to delay it. And at some point we support innovation but becomes we're against it and call it what it is. It's the anti everything Democrats.
Jeff
That's all it is. Yes.
Chip
Jake Trovinsky, look, I just spent so much time here he is Jay Kavinsky's objections on the left of the substance of the, of the Clarity Act. I'm like, well, yeah, maybe it's time to call him out by name instead of pretending it's some mysteriously congressional problem. The Congress has the problem. Maybe, you know, the bottleneck's been obvious the whole time. It just seems that people seemed afraid to say it out loud. James Rule Fidelity's behind her. So what he says they have Trump derangement syndrome, bless their hearts. And then Haley Lemon Lennon, who's another bitcoin maxi, imagine your legacy being hating innovation and loving banks. That's. Of course, she puts a warrant in there. And I'm like, well, you forgot the part where she built an entire career pretending to be Native American. Then she got caught instead of resigning in embarrassment, Jeff, she just stayed in Congress. She's like, nothing says integrity quite like doubling down on getting busted.
Jeff
You know, no demand to resign, nothing.
Chip
Tony Edwards, nice. Elizabeth Warren punching air right now. Yeah. Like, the Democrats will be impressed by that. So he's excited. He thinks they're punching air because the National Fraternity Order of Police. The police who they want to defund and want to get rid of ice. I'm like, yeah, I'm like, the tone of the Democrats will be impressed. They wanted to fund the police and abolish ice. Good job.
Jeff
The clarity act like.
Chip
And I don't know, I think Tony Lean's left, too, based on some of the stuff I've seen.
Jeff
Are people just, like, reaching for straws, trying to explain the delay on this?
Chip
They are not calling out the Democrats. It's the Democrats, Jeff.
Jeff
Very, very specific. It's. The Democrats don't want to pass the legislation. They're. They're anti crypto. They don't want Trump to have a big win. They pushed for things that will be detrimental to the, to the economic progress of this country. That's it. I mean, the, the Democrats big play is that they're relabeling the Democrat Party and they're becoming the socialist Democrat Party, which is essentially the same party that brought about the rise of Nazism in Germany. Same party, same ideas, same ideology. And this is the exact direction they're leading in. Except the only difference in this scenario is that they're in bed with the Islamists. And so, you know, from this perspective, they're trying to bring down. And they continue to do it. They continue to undermine the progress of this country at every level. And, you know, you don't. We talked about it earlier on. People are talking about the communist state of Colorado or California or New York, New York City. I mean, you can keep going on and on, but it's. This is such a this is all part of the cancer and this is what people have to wake up and realize. I'm glad that you called them out the way you did because it is, the Democrats are holding up, they're holding up the Clarity act because it's more progress, it's more delay of progress for the crypto space, the crypto markets, the crypto industry that they had Gary Gensler trying to, to block and devastate. They've been trying to destroy the crypto space for how many years? Someone else said it, you know, it's too big at this point. Things, things are moving now. The question is, is the US going to be a leader or are we going to be the caboose? You know, Trump wants us to be a leader. Democrats want us to be a caboose. The Democrats spent 12 years trying to lead from behind. You know what? That doesn't work. You can't dummy down an entire great nation like the United States. We're, we're the greatest nation on earth right now. We're bringing about the most amazing, the most, the highest level of economic growth and freedom this world has ever seen. And yet the Democrats want to belittle it. They want to bring us down to the same level as a third world nation, which is exactly why they're importing the third world nation into our country and into all the European Western countries. They want to bring down the level, the standard instead of trying to raise up the standards everywhere else because they realize with low IQ and non productivity that you can't raise them up. So they're going to dump them into countries around the world to lower the standards. And this is where we're at. And it's the same thing the Democrats mindset, it's, it's their modus operande. You know, they're going to continuous try to block any type of economic progress or growth that this country can ever have. And, and the Clarity act. Now if the Clarity act passes, you know, it's going to be a miracle. I, I believe if it passes over the, the next couple weeks, I think it's going to be pushed back because we have an election cycle. We have the summer. I, you know, you have weeks, you have two weeks, a two week window. If it doesn't pass in two weeks, it's 27. It's going to be pushed after the election. I believe it's going to be pushed after the, after the election. Many Democrats are, are, I don't think they're going to want it. And, and that's where it goes, you know, that's just how they are. And we got the rhinos. Look at, you know, this is a good one, you know. Jmj, it's the Democrats and Republicans that Trump went against in their primary election.
Chip
That's right. But the rhinos are gone come January. Okay, he got the rhinos out and rhinos. So you're talking about 95 of the Republicans said yes, the rhinos, not most of them are out, but it's all the Democrats that don't want any. There's a couple of them that have gone over. But we're always hearing how pro crypto there and they, they, you know, Jeff, the whole thing, it's like they got a problem with everything. It's like, oh, we don't like this, we don't like that. It is political suicide because you look at the amount of people that vote. It's a lot, man, it's a lot. And it's like 70 million Americans own crypto and they'll vote, they'll go vote them out. They don't want anything to do with them. But look at this Flair. The reason most XRP stays idle. It's not lack of interest, it steps. Jeff. Something's coming with the big people don't want to sun emoji. Something's coming. Even Hugo starting in the next couple of weeks, the next six months are going to be very transformative for XRP5 through flare. Ooh, I just love the sound of that. I just love the sound of that. Two interesting things. And again, flare is on the move. Flair had a little of an uptick in price too. I saw it had a little, a little bump there. Then he this one here too. Shroom. Tata said I run an XRPL validator. Been in this ecosystem a long time. I don't get too involved in the day to day or the weekly drama. I primarily just trade and hold the asset. But once again I feel compelled to chime in here. So here it goes. Take this what it's way it's meant. The XRPL doesn't have an adoption problem. It has an economy problem. There's three separate economies here and they keep getting reported as one. Number one, you got ripple 4 billion acquisitions since 23, hidden road, blah blah blah. Then you've got economy two, the institutional issuance, roughly 3 billion in tokenized real world assets on XRPL as of late April. Second fastest 30 day growth of any chain. And then you have Economy 3, the native app ecosystem. The only one an independent builder can actually Enter the only one that's really there being dramatized over here on x 288 monthly active developers, 84 full time equivalents, 33 million in total d. 5 million to 8 million in daily DEX volume. And so it goes on and on about this but Hugo chimed in and said if what you're factoring in supply chain stats, you might want to factor in F xrp. Good point here. Defy usage which is extremely positive and sizable development relative to what you've quoted for the entire ecosystem and that's because their operates there. That makes a lot more sense. But I like that Hugo's like, hey, if we're going to take the whole ecosystem we gotta really consider fxrp and defy the D5 usage over there because it is huge, it's positive, it's got major adoption. They opened it up and boom filled. They opened up the next level and it got filled. So I think that's great and I love, and that's what I like about Hugo too. He's an active CEO in the community. People say stuff, there's a couple negative posts. He put his best out there. Hey, I understand some negativity. Here's what we've done, here's what we're accomplishing, here's what we're up to. I like a CEO that's hands on and it's going to get out there in the ecosystem and make a splash. Joe. So anyway, we had the Trump. We had the. Well, you know what happened Jeff? I loaded all those videos painstakingly.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
And you know what happened?
Jeff
Watch one of them.
Chip
I rebooted. 00 videos I rebooted and I basically lost them all.
Jeff
We got lots of good videos. We're moving into the geopolitical section at this point.
Chip
Yeah. And so what happened the other night
Jeff
was the Robert said Lord Jesus, Elvis.
Chip
Yeah. Of hell. Yeah. Well there was the correspondence dinner. So we got some really short pieces because it was a long one. Some of it landed, some of it was like, ah, I don't, I don't like who wrote it. I don't think it was that great. It wasn't as good as previous years. Trump's usually because he's pretty funny on his own, but they write stuff for him and it's okay. But I thought these were some of the better ones that we pulled. The better clip from the correspondence dinner, you know, because that's where the press attends and they give us, they give each other awards and like look at how great we are. He even said those words were hard to sit through. So, but here's, here's a couple clips.
Donald Trump
Here's Trump things, the dangers of what we all do. But just like my presidency, the second time is always better. It's always better. And the third time will be better yet. I'm only kidding. From the earliest moments after the he
Jeff
loves the Trump 2028.
Chip
Well, he did put a, he did put a 2028 hat on. It was another part. I don't think we have that clip, but he did put a 2028 hat on. I thought that was good. Here's another clip.
Donald Trump
But this place is the really the largest group of Trump derangement syndrome people ever put together at one time. I suspect some of you are lucky that our last dinner was cut short because I had brought with me what would possibly have been. I'm telling you, I had, I had something. I was going to go after you. I was going to. I feel so badly doing this. It's got to be such a letdown. Oh, yay. Yay. But your lives were really in danger the last time for an yeah, he,
Chip
he, he said he had something doozy to, to get out there. And I think he changed his whole approach on that.
Jeff
Yeah.
Donald Trump
You wanted to see someone lose consciousness on the south lawn of the White House, all you had to do is ask Joe Biden a question. Remember that? Oh, you think I'm kidding. But the big fight was such an amazing success.
Chip
They're not laughing. Jeff. He went on this whole thing, but he says if you wanted to see somebody lose consciousness this on the, on the south. It's a great, it's a good joke. But look at everybody. They're all they.
Donald Trump
Oh, wow.
Chip
Well, it's not funny.
Donald Trump
If you wanted to see someone lose consciousness on the south lawn of the White House, all you had to do is ask Joe Biden a question. Remember that? Oh, you think I'm kidding. But the big fight was such an amazing success that tonight I'm playing.
Chip
Yeah, they didn't, I don't think they like that one so much, Jeff.
Donald Trump
So successful that I've been informed by CBS News David Ellison, who's going to do a fandom. He's the owner. He's the owner. He bought it, spent a lot of money and he's going to make, I think, fantastic changes and keep some of the great stuff going. But that next year they're going to call it the Trump White House Correspondence Center. He told me that and I like that very, very much. We're going to change the name of it. Okay, well, it's going to be so hot. Just like our country is hot. We are hot, by the way.
Chip
He just loves trolling them so much. That was. You remember when they got so mad when he changed the Kennedy center to Trump. The Kennedy Trump, you know, center so mad, they took the name off. Like, whatever that's going to be. Here we go.
Donald Trump
Load of accomplishments that the media never talks about. For example, under my administration, a once feared and powerful regime that relentlessly attacked America has finally been toppled. Their former leaders have been removed, and they're now being run by a gay dictator facing internal divisions. But I, for one, wish Bari Weiss all the best at CBS News. She a wonderful woman.
Chip
Dude, I don't think anybody got that joke.
Jeff
No.
Chip
I'd have to explain it to people here that didn't get that. He makes it seem like he's talking about Iran, but he's really talking about the turmoil at cbs. And Barry Weiss and the gay dictate the whole thing about that. He is making like, I even think it went over the heads of them. Or they found it very unfunny because he ripped. He ripped cbs.
Jeff
He dropped.
Chip
I was like, that was a clever, detailed, deep joke. Yeah, Switcheroo. That's what comedy's fun. You think he's going one direction. He says, oh, let's talk about cbs. I love that. This was probably the funniest thing he said all night. This was the probably the funniest one.
Donald Trump
Everyone finally got to enjoy their entire very delicious beef tenderloins. Very special beef. And I want you all to know that Bobby Kennedy, who's right here, personally ran over the cow in his car, And he cut it up and he brought it here for you to eat tonight. So it's very fresh. And Bobby also suggested an appetizer featuring his favorite cut of male raccoon roadkill. But we drew the line at that, Cheryl. We said, no, we're not going to do that.
Chip
His wife hates trucks. Bobby K. Well, you know that famous story we talked about hitting the bear? Everybody threw the bear in the back of the truck.
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
Chip
I mean, it's so funny.
Unidentified Guest 3
Yeah.
Chip
You think Bobby Kennedy knew he was gonna say that? I mean, Bobby Kennedy, you're from the dynasty of the largest Democrats in the entire world, the Kennedy dynasty. And you're serving the Trump administration. I try to explain that to a European guy. They don't know what's going on.
Unidentified Guest 3
They.
Chip
I'm like, your UK is. You're over in the uk. You're cooked, dude. You don't have a clue what's going on. You're just cooked. You're a cooked. You're done.
Jeff
It's brilliant. Brilliant.
Chip
Gosh, man. There were so many good things. Those are some of the better clips. It was okay. It wasn't. It wasn't tremendous. And then look at this. A bombshell. New York Times report just published revealing the Democrat National Committee so short on cash. Jeff. That the party leaders have began asking vendors not to send bills until after the November midterm elections. Desperate accounting maneuver to hide the severity of their financial collapse from the public and donors. Could you imagine, like, okay, you can't bill us until after November. Can you imagine that?
Jeff
It's. It's so crazy. So with it, the dn, you. They pulled the US Aid, the DNC is collapsing. A lot of. A lot of the international agendas are imploding. There's. There's so much that we're. We're witnessing based, based on the fact that they pulled the government money. Things are changing. And thank God for Elon Musk for pointing out finding and then dismantling and, and it's. That's it. You know, we're moving in. In such an interesting direction, you know, and then you really look at. And who. Let me see here. So we had, you know, Badger. Badger was saying, whether the act passes, it doesn't matter in the next year. XRP has clarity. It's the only crypto asset that has it.
Chip
It's very good point, Badger.
Jeff
It's a solid point. We've been at this thing since 2010. So you think about 16 years, 17 years, you have this crypto experiment that's been developing, growing, metastasizing. It's on a global scale, being adopted around the world. You see big banks, so big institutions, big governments. It's the U.S. so is it. Do we have to rush through the Clarity act right now? I'm gonna be great. If we have it, we have crypto asset that has clarity, as Badger mentioned. Now if we wait, we go into 27, get rid of the rhinos. Now all of a sudden, you get the proper, appropriate bill, push through, and there you go, you know, now we're in the, in the position that we need to be in, in, in 2027. And that's okay. We don't necessarily need it in 26. We can have it in 27. It's okay.
Chip
Listen, if you ask me personally, do I care about clarity, I don't. Because I care about something more that's way more valuable. Than the Clarity act, and that is stopping the fraud. Right. You got to pass that bill because election fraud is the death of America. And you know what happens in January when the new Congress comes in? It gets passed. That's how it works. So do I care about five more months? I don't. I know that it gets passed anyway. So, I mean, the Save America act to me is the most important thing. And I don't give a rats behind about clarity because I know clarity passes. At some point. I already think they've given up too much because they're not good negotiators. That's what I think. But I also think you get rid of the Rhinos and bring some more Democrats in and get. They get to get their ass handed to them in a little thrashing, then come back and undo some of the that they put in there and pass the Clarity. But to me, Jeff, I don't give a about clarity. I give a big about what happens with the Save America act because you got to have voter id. Almost every country has voter id. I was talking to my buddy in the UK today. He's like, dude, we have voter id. He says, they don't have it in Ireland, and I think it's Scotland. They don't have it there. But you show up at a poll and you're like, you're illegal. They're like, you know, and what the. And what these with. With California and Illinois and New York and Colorado, you know what, you come in, they give them a driver's license, and the driver's license automatically enrolls you in to be a voter. And you just show up. You don't even have to say who you are. You can vote multiple times, three times, five times, whatever. So to me, that's the one that has to get fixed.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
Do you know what else, Jeff? You talked about the party with USAID. First time in 40 years, rap is not on the charts. It's fallen off the charts. It's gone. You know what it's starting to make? You know what's big? Gospel music and country music. Geez. The two things they don't like. They don't like. Those people listen to gospel music, those Christians, those evil Christians, and they should. I call it gospel. It's real Christian music, but Christian theme music. You know what else they don't like? They don't like people to listen to country music. You know, let's fly over territory. They don't like those people either, because they're patriots, you know, so it's interesting how that works. And then it's interesting that Colbert got canceled when he was losing 40 million a year, but not until USAID went away. Then all of a sudden they're canceling his show because they're losing 40 million. Well, they were losing 40 million for a while. Who was. All these shows were getting subsidized. All the propaganda was getting subsidized. None of it was organic. It was all manufactured bs, Jeff. All garbage. Oh, you mentioned Elon Musk just two seconds ago. So I thought I'd put this up quicker. Look at this and read this one, Jeff. This is a good one.
Jeff
This was Poly Market just in. Rep. Elon Omer tells President Trump to get the hell out of our country. For real.
Chip
I don't even know. It is. Yeah, she said get the hell out. Look what Elon Musk.
Jeff
Elon Musk says. Didn't realize President Trump was visiting Somalia. Elon Omar is a traitor. The United. To the United States and must be expelled. She's in so much right now.
Chip
She's not swimming out his latest one with the.
Jeff
She's not getting out of this one with the finance.
Chip
No, no, These people, they think they're undestructible. No, no, that's latest. When she's going down and her sister,
Jeff
they don't care about.
Chip
I mean, for doing some nasty stuff. I mean, come on, man. They always look the other way for these politicians. You can't. Here is Stephen Miller, who. I love this guy. Again, the first time I went, the first Trump rally in 2016, this guy got up on stage. I said, who the F is this guy? This guy's on fire. Where did this guy come from? I never, I've never heard of Stephen Miller.
Unidentified Guest 2
Never saw him.
Chip
2016, went to a Trump rally. Saw him get up on stage and go off. And I said, God, this guy didn't. The guy was just going off. He didn't have a teleprompter. He was just like, boom, boom, boom, boom, hitting it. And I was like, geez. Of course, he became part of, you know, Trump's administration, but here he is talking about some new developments. Jeff, what's happening with some illegals? Look at this.
British Patriot
To us. And so, in addition to record deportation numbers, something that your audience may not know is that USCIS has undertaken the largest ever project of re vetting every foreign national who was admitted in prior years for ties to terrorism, ties to jihadism, also ties to drugs, to gangs, to cartels. So it's not just that they're deporting Illegal aliens. It's. They're systematically re vetting, reinterviewing and reassessing the millions of refugees, LPRs, foreign visitors and others who came here from the third world, from the regions that are known for Islamic terrorism, from the failed states of the planet. They're re vetting, re interviewing, reanalyzing. Just this week alone from the last report I got, there were a thousand immigration benefits that were terminated based on public safety, national security eligibility grounds that had been previously issued by another administration. So, yes, the ICE numbers are climbing up steadily. Financial enforcement. So we're beginning the process right now of working with our financial institutions under the President's executive order to cut off illegal alien financing. You also see we've issued $81 billion in fines to illegal aliens for failing to depart, and that is now going through a civil collections process. But again, in addition to that, the president understands that the quality, character and nature of immigration, past and present, is what spells what the future quality and character of our nation is. So there is a unprecedented effort happening beneath the waterline to look at the tens of millions of people that were let in previously to see who rightfully belongs here.
Jeff
None of them.
Chip
Nothing. Brace about having Steve Miller on us. You don't have to ask a question. Just go like, welcome, Stephen Miller. He just goes, boom. And you know, but chad has this 100% right. Trump has much better messengers. Yeah. I did not like his cabinet the first time.
Unidentified Guest 2
Better.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
Filled with rhino nut jobs. He didn't know what he'. Doing. I mean, fair enough, right?
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
Bad. Yeah. Bad advice. Bad. I mean, just the rhinos were running the institution and like, he's. It's a whole different story this time. Well, Jeff, this. You're gonna laugh at this next story because it's some. It was so obvious to us and everybody here, but apparently it wasn't obvious to other people. Look at this. Take this story. Jeff, Read this.
Jeff
Oh, you know, I was talking about this one earlier. I was talking about this earlier. This is. This is what happened to Detroit. So update. Residents are furious after seven grocery stores are closing in Chicago despite millions of dollars being pumped into them by city Democrats. Socialism fails everywhere. It's tried residents. This will become a food desert. It will. It's going to be. It's gonna be horrible.
Chip
It's. And for the people, dude, it's in the. It's.
Jeff
It's so bad on the flip side. So, you know, the, the biggest part of what happened in Chicago, the reason why they're closing them is really because of the crime, the crime and the theft. So this is exactly what happened in Detroit. They closed the grocery stores, they closed the pharmacies, they closed the banks, they closed all the typical institutions. It wasn't safe. So you know what you get on, on the flip side, this is exactly what you're going to get. You're going to start getting just like in Detroit, you're going to get the party stores, you're going to get overpriced products, you're going to get malt liquor, you're going to get cigarettes that are sold by the individuals, you're going to get lottery tickets, you're gonna get probably milk. That's going to be three times the amount. That's exactly what happened in Detroit. I know it because my friends, brothers own, own one of the mini supermarket or party stores over there. So I know exactly how they, they make their money. They do really well. They're a fixture in the community. It's sad that there are no grocery stores. Grocery stores now are starting to open. Things are changing, the streets are getting cleaned up. So it, it went through a period of time to where things had to be redeveloped and it had to, you need safety. We're witnessing the reverse. We're seeing, you know, Detroit coming back, Chicago going down, New York City going down. If they try to implement anything with socialism, they want government funded grocery stores, it's going to be even worse. You're going to talk about vacant shelves. It's going to be a disaster. But I feel really bad for Chicago. I feel bad for New York almost. They voted for it. Their problem, they decided not to enforce it. They want the Democrat nuts in charge. They, they want this everywhere else. You know what, New York, Chicago used to be my favorite city. I don't think I want to go there again. New York City, my list of cities, Chicago, New York, Toronto, those are my top three cities. I love visiting, hanging out. I don't want to go to any of the three. That's my opinion. And it's still probably great and you know, do a lot of great things there. But I don't know, I don't, I don't like the way it's, I don't like the way it's going. I don't want to see it.
Chip
Well, you know, you know, you're in a different area when you see a lot of check cashing stores and these convenience stores and you go into them and I'll probably use them in the past, but you go in and the cereal boxes are especially small. And they cost more than a regular one in the, in the regular grocery store because it's convenient. So they're going to overcharge you for stuff. Milk always costs a lot more money there. Like everything's way more expensive. The reason there's cash cashing stores because a lot of people are illegals. They don't have the proper stuff to set up a bank account. That's how it used to be. Transient people. So you go, well, you drive though.
Jeff
They do it because there are no banks.
Chip
Well, that's because the banks left you. I mean, I know the struggle.
Jeff
I was there.
Chip
I saw it. So it's like, man, another blow to the community. And ain't nothing we could do about it. We have nothing.
Jeff
There is.
Chip
Well, there's something. Stop voting for Democrats. That's the first thing you can do. Okay, stop voting for these morons. Continue to talk like they, like they care about the community.
Jeff
Don't care about your community mentality though.
Chip
I don't know what we're gonna do.
Jeff
There's nothing around here.
Chip
No, no stores.
Jeff
This basically only store you can come to. You know that you get fresh produce
Chip
and you don't get groceries, vanilla nothing. The shells are empty, Jeff. Looks like a typical communist league run.
Jeff
And it's sad because this is, this is, this is what happens. This is what happened in Venezuela, in any of the Soviet Union, any, any of the countries that have fallen. And now we're witnessing it in cities in our own country. You know, we've witnessed past tense and now we're witnessing. You would think that these people would learn, you know, from, from example, right? And especially if you take a city like Detroit, which was extremely prosperous and anyone who's in the Detroit area, you know what we're talking about. Thank God for the Quicken loans got, what is it called, Rocket loans or mortgage, right. He's the one who brought the prosper back to the city. If you know, I mean there are others that were involved but he did a massive, massive, you know, investment into improvement within the city. And it's a lot different now. It still has a long way to go. But you go back not even that many years ago and you, the burn down houses, you go to, what is it, Millionaire row or mansion row. Not too far from one of the original Ford plans down in Detroit. Beautiful homes. Most of them were gutted, most of them were burned down. Some of the homes had beautiful manicured lawns. Then you have another one burned down. And that was, that was Detroit, right. And, and it was kind of at its. And it's most amazing when the, the country was the most prosperous, they took a turn. If Chicago goes that, that route, man, I don't, I can't even, I can't even imagine what's going to be like if they go. If they don't wake up and start getting rid of some of their Democrat policies and, and wake up. You know, they gotta wake up. They, they can't allow that to happen to that city.
Chip
Looks like the poll people thought they were Democrat until they took the poll and they realized, no, they're 70 Republican. Why you keep voting for that? You know, it's just ingrained in them. Oh, Republicans are bad. Like, just do some, like wake up and do some research. So do you remember when Elon Musk got interviewed by that clown and she's like, you're low, people hate you. And they get a chance to talk to one of the biggest, greatest innovators trillionaire of our time. And what does she ask him? Stupid gotcha questions. And she says, you're a far right extremist. And he said, no, actually, I'm normal. Yeah, I'm normal. And it's not me that changed. He goes, it's the left to change. And then he said, people like Obama and Hillary and Chuck Schumer, they're all saying this stuff. Well, we got the proof. Of course, everybody dug it up. And she was like, oh, I don't, you know, they never. So she doesn't remember like 20, you know, 2005. Jeff, it's like we're talking about 20 years ago, 15 years ago. Well, here's Bill. Let's go back to Bill Clinton. This is Bill Clinton's campaign ad, Jeff.
Jeff
Look at this generation of Democrats, Bill
Chip
Clinton and Al Gore. And they don't think the way the
Jeff
old Democratic Party did.
Chip
They've called for an end to welfare
Unidentified Guest 3
as we know it.
Chip
So welfare can be a second chance, not a way of life. They've sent a strong signal to criminals by supporting the death penalty. And they've rejected the old tax and spend politics, Clinton's balanced 12 budgets. And they've proposed a new plan investing in people, detailing $140 billion in spending cuts they'd make right now for people for a change,
Jeff
The whole thing. But Clint Clinton, if you think about between Clinton and New King Rich, they're the ones who led to the prosper of, of this country during that period of time. You know, Contract for America.
Chip
Oh, yeah, that was, that was a good look at the police standing behind him talking about the police, the death penalty. He, you know, balanced budgets. They don't even want to. During the whole Biden, they didn't even want to do anything. Balanced budget. They don't want to talk about a budget at all. Even release the budget. And then so you got a. Cutting taxes. What are you talking about? This is insane. So this is, this is where the new, the old left was. And here is Obama. Look at Obama. Here he is.
Unidentified Guest 2
We all agree on the need to better secure the border and to punish employers who choose to hire.
Chip
Elon Musk was talking about, okay, this is Obama. We're not going back to, you know, to Jimmy Carter. This is Obama. Everyone remembers Obama, right? Illegal immigrants.
Unidentified Guest 2
You know, we are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States. But those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are immigrants following the law. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States unprotected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully.
Chip
There you go, Jeff. A right, a far right extremist kook racist right here. Yeah, you remember this shit. Here's another one.
Unidentified Guest 2
Bush administration has done nothing to control the problem that we have. We've had 5 million undocumented workers
Chip
in a debate. He's talking about Bush did not take care of the illegal immigrants coming into
Unidentified Guest 2
the country, come over the borders since George Bush took office. It has become an extraordinary problem. And the reason the American people are concerned is because they are seeing their own economic position slip away. And oftentimes employers are exploiting these undocumented workers. They're not paying the minimum wage. They're not observing worker safety laws. As president, I will make sure that we finally have the kind of border security that we need. That's step number one. Step number two is to take on employers. Right now, an employer has more of a chance of getting hit by lightning than be prosecuted for hiring an undocumented worker. That has to change. They have to be held accountable. Start shedding some light on the problem, and we can once again be a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. That's what I intend to do as President of the United States.
Chip
Jeff, your thoughts on his those two things? It's hard to believe, right?
Jeff
Yeah. Chris was saying Obama was an Illinois senator. You don't think there was fraud here? Come on. I think he said a lot of things at the End of the day you follow what their actions were. It was polar opposite to what he said.
Sid Rosenberg
Right?
Chip
100 but it was. You always run to the right center.
Jeff
Gotta go back to what he said.
Chip
How about Chucky Schumer?
Sid Rosenberg
Legal immigration is wrong. Plain and,009 Dude 2009 Simple. The American people are fundamentally pro legal immigration and anti illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is wrong. And a primary goal of comprehensive immigration reform must be to dramatically curtail future illegal immigration. By dramatically reducing the number of illegal aliens who are able to enter the United States we will create room for both families and employment based immigrants so that the total number of immigrants to our country country is no greater than today. When we use phrases like undocumented workers we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration.
Chip
I swear it's not. AI Jeff.
Sid Rosenberg
Which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to say it. I think it is illegal and wrong and we have to change it.
Chip
Above all. Then they started losing election Jeff. Right?
Jeff
They started losing. They. They're part of the global problem which is allowing a flow of the illegals in to bring down the level of the countries they're part of. That's what's happening in Europe. They're following the, the European model. You think about some of the things that during Obama and Biden and all of these crazies, you know, they talked about cars. They, they purposely tried to devastate the, the, the automotive industry in the US they wanted to get rid of big vehicles. The US Is all about big vehicles. We're not about the little subcompact cars that they drive in Europe. You think Europeans want to drive subcompact cars? They don't want to drive them. They don't have the road infrastructure to drive the big vehicles that we drive over here. Europeans came over here. Now how many videos did we see? They wanted to drive Ford Mustangs, they wanted to drive Ford F150 pickup trucks. They wanted to drive GMC pickup trucks. They wanted to drive the Wagoneer. They wanted to drive the Yukon. They wanted to experience big vehicles on the roads.
Unidentified Guest 3
Why?
Jeff
Because that's the type of car that we drive here. You go over to Europe, you're not going to want to get a Yukon and drive, you know, through most of Europe because your vehicle is not going to fit on most of the roads over there. It's going to be difficult to navigate, difficult to find parking. It's going to be uncomfortable you're not going to do it. Therefore, you have to have these smaller compact cars. For the most part, you know, you can drive, so depending where you go. But they tried to bring that concept. They said, well, we're going to bring small cars to the U. S. Let's push everyone to get electric. Let's push everyone to get away from the big SUVs, the pickup trucks. It doesn't work over here. It's different. You know, we don't want those. We want exceptionalism. People want big. They want better. They want to. They want to buy what they want to buy. You can't force feed us over here in this country. And this is all part of now. What they realized, Chip, like you said, they realized they were losing. They realized there was a way to victory. The way to victory is to devastate the economy, flood this country with illegals from all over the world. These guys got caught up into a shitstorm. They don't even know what they got caught up in. This is the most difficult part about it, is that the western Democrat, Rhino, Republican, whatever, they've allowed Islamists to flood into western civilization. They haven't even begun to see the level of barbarism and destruction that these people are going to bring to western civilization. Unless you go over to the Middle east and you look what they did to Lebanon and Syria and all these other countries that were destroyed at their hands. Now you go into some of these countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE Etc, and you say, why don't they want them? Why are they all now here in. In our countries? Why don't they want them over there? Because they know exactly what they're up to. But yet these. These mindless politicians over here brought them in, allowed them to flood the streets. We're seeing what's happening in England and Germany and elsewhere. It's devastating. And now we're seeing, you know, further what's going to happen in like a place like Chicago and elsewhere as the crime rises up and they allow them to get away with whatever they want. They want to keep going with these democrat policies. But all these Democrats, you know, I. I don't know. You know, maybe they're evil at heart and this is what they wanted or what they said in, you know, 10, 15, 20 years ago. Maybe that's what they really believed in. I don't know. Did Clinton really believe that back, you know, back in those days? You know, I want to believe that he believed in, you know, in the, the great of this country. It seemed like he did you know, it was. You know, he. He was crazy. You know where we're at now versus then maybe we're living in a parallel universe. We're on a different gone astray. It's just. It's chaos. It doesn't even make sense. You know, to that. To that level.
Chip
This is completely.
Donald Trump
What's that?
Jeff
Laughing was the most bizarre thing that I heard from a surround sound perspective. It literally sounded like it was coming from behind me.
Chip
Yeah, I know. I love it. Chuck Smucker.
Jeff
Yeah. Very good.
Donald Trump
Well said.
Chip
I got a couple quick hitters here. Look at this one. You got this one. Here's the past few days. In the U.S. jeff, you had a white woman who was convicted for a slur. She used the N word. Okay. But she was convicted of it. Well, like it or not, it's still. Still free speech and be doing stupid stuff like that. But two historic churches burned to the ground via arson. We know who burned them down. The. The Muslims. Explosives were set up by ICE and. And their ICE headquarters in New York. Stabbing spree in New York City.
Sid Rosenberg
Blue.
Chip
Blue cities are effectively Europe now.
Jeff
Pretty much saw what happened in Berlin. Plowed into. Into LGB thing.
Chip
Of course, nobody was surprised by who he was.
Jeff
No, no.
Chip
And then this person here, Katy Perry. Sorry. Not the brightest person. The sharpest tool in the shed. She says, I am deeply appalled and angry to see fireworks used in the White House Tick tock account as backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this. I was not asked. And I absolutely don't condone it. I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing and whatever other she said. Well, she got owned because Ryan James said you sold your music catalog in 2023 for $225 million. So guess what? Shut the F up.
Jeff
It's not your cat.
Chip
Nobody gives a. They own the catalog. They license it. Screw you. It's not your music anymore, dummy. Who cares what you wrote?
Jeff
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Chip
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. And then you got this. This is a good. This is of course the B. She's up in Disneyland ride saying, we. I'm an astronaut. Exclaims Katy Perry during a ride in Disneyland.
Jeff
Oh, my God, that's right.
Chip
Look, I'm an astronaut, remember? She went up in there and that they claim she was an. She went up in Atlanta. Lower space. It wasn't even. I don't even know if it went up anywhere, to be honest with you. Then we got this little cartoon. It's like I Hate the rich. And the kid says, well, why? He goes, because they're exploiting the poor. And then he says, well, poverty is at its lowest level ever. And I saw something in the last 25 years. The amount of reduction in the entire world from billions down to 700 million of poverty. It says, I don't want to end poverty. So he lights it, he goes, I want to hate the rich. It's pretty appropriate, right?
Jeff
It's exactly.
Chip
You know who this is, Jeff? You know Ms. Rachel, if you got real young kids, you know who she is, but she's Ms. Rachel. She does this goofy. I think it's a YouTube video show, right? Or I don't think it's on TV. And she's like, hi, kids. And you know this kind of stuff, right? Well, somebody did a little bit of research, and it turns out that Ms. Rachel, the viral kids content guru, has been revealed to be funding Abdul El Sayed's campaign he's running up in Michigan. Parents should know that their kid is being indoctrinated to be the next antifa. And there it is. There's her name. Rachel Occurso. There he is. Abdullah Sayed. He's the. He's the.
Jeff
$3,000.
Chip
Is that what it was? Three grand? She gave three grand to help this dude. Who is there?
Jeff
Shores.
Chip
He's a.
Jeff
He's an name a committee. Oh, no, that's where his. His office is running.
Chip
This guy's a nut dude. An absolute nut job. Yeah, we should have time to read that other one, but. And then, you know, you remember. So Spencer Pratt, all these cool videos. So the team that used to do his videos now we're. Is now helping out Steve Hilton. Steve Hilton is the. They let Steve Hilton in. Like, we'll. We'll allow him to run for governor, but we got to get Pratt out of there. He's way too powerful. So they. We allowed some cheating. So anyway, Steve Hilton has the team that was doing Spencer Pratt's videos. Watch this one, Jeff. This is good. Please don't do this. You don't have to do this.
Unidentified Guest 3
Please.
Chip
I just want to be able to afford a tank of gas so I can drive to work and feed my family. You just want some gas?
Donald Trump
You can have all the gas you want.
Chip
But first, you must defeat the California machine. Please, I have young kids. All I'm asking for is a reasonable cost of living, nothing else. The machine doesn't give a damn about you and your family. Oh, another wildfire.
Jeff
Please don't do this to me.
British Patriot
I'm a Nurse.
Jeff
Me and my husband just want to buy a home together.
Unidentified Guest 3
A home?
Chip
In this economy, everyone can own a home, but only once they get past the machine. Enough is enough. You shouldn't have to fight for your life just to fill your tank, keep
Unidentified Guest 3
the lights on and put a roof
Chip
over your family's head. We don't have to live like this. Enough is enough. For governor. Gosh, yeah. These are going to be some fun ads, Jeff. You got to like it. And Jeff, if I asked you, where do you think an 1100 kilometer stretch of highway named the Donald J. Trump highway is located? Take a guess where you. That might be located. Sounds right. You would think. Palm Beach. 1100. It's a little over a thousand kilometers.
Jeff
Oh.
Chip
What do you. Let's ask the people in our. In the.
Jeff
In Scotland.
Chip
Okay. Scotland's a pretty good guess, too. Where. Where would that be located?
Unidentified Guest 1
Where?
Jeff
Turnberry.
Sid Rosenberg
Right.
Chip
These are all. These are all really good guesses, but they're all wrong because not in the US I'll give you the first hint. It's not in the United States.
Jeff
Since you want kilometers.
Chip
Kilometers.
Jeff
Alberta. New York.
Chip
Nope. No, no, no. It's not in New York. Nope. It's not in Canada. It wouldn't be in Canada, man. But Alberta is a good guess. Because if it would, Machu Picchu is another good guess. Unfortunately, that's wrong. By the way, I've been to Machu Picchu. I recommend going there. No, that would be wrong too. But would you be surprised if I told you Morocco Very. Watch this.
Unidentified Guest 1
Donald J. Trump Highway. What does a road really connect? Two places, perhaps. But the roads that shape history connect something far greater. Under the visionary leadership of His Majesty King Muhammad vi, and thanks to the historic courage of President Donald J. Trump, the Moroccan Saharan has entered a new era in the pursuit of peace, dialogue and prosperity. In 1777, Morocco became the first nation to recognize the United States of America. Nine years later, the Treaty of Peace and Friendship laid the foundation for what remains the longest unbroken diplomatic relationship in US History. For two and a half centuries, France, friendship, trust and dialogue have bound Morocco and the United States. And today, the President Donald J. Trump highway is its most concrete and lasting expression. Some roads shorten distances. Others shape the future. At a cost of nearly $1 billion, this road connecting Tiznet to Dakla stretches over 1,055 km, making it one of the longest in Africa. The President Donald J. Trump highway forges a new continuity across Morocco's southern provinces, connecting Atlantic Morocco with its natural African extension from Tiznit to Layoun. The highway runs for 555km through some of the continent's most special spectacular landscapes. A dual carriageway, 16 engineering structures and Morocco's longest viaduct. Turning a natural obstacle into a seamless link. This section connects northern Morocco to La Yumen, one of Africa's emerging Atlantic metropolises. Further south, the President Donald J. Trump highway pushes the horizon toward Dakla, one of Africa's most captivating destinations and home to the future Atlantic port. Positioned only days by sea from the major maritime gateways of Europe, the Americas and Sub Saharan Africa, the port places the region as a hub within reach of the world. The highway carries that connection inland, forming a continuous corridor further into the atmosphere. Africa.
Chip
Trying to watch the whole thing, but
Jeff
that's crazy.
Chip
Ah, any BUC EE's? Because those are pretty long stretches to go in the desert. And I drove through the Chilean desert with my brother in law and my wife and all the kids and stuff and dude, it was pretty scary, man. I'm not gonna lie to you. You're in the middle of effing nowhere. No cars, no nothing. No, you break down, you are screwed. And it's weird because the desert is along the water. So you never, you never, you always picture deserts as landlocked, but it's cool when you see a desert and there's the, there's the ocean right there, but it's pretty scary, dude. I mean, holy cow.
Jeff
A lot of people have been been to Morocco. Joe Bud said, traveled, traveled back in 93. Jim D. Has been there.
Chip
Awesome, man.
Jeff
You know what that was going to build there? I don't know. I almost went to Morocco when I was in, in undergrad. Had a chance there studying Arabic and I had a chance to go over there and spend a month. And you said, hell no, I didn't go.
Chip
Yeah, you didn't. You didn't go. You said hell to the.
Jeff
No, I wanted to.
Chip
You said hell.
Jeff
Amazing. Good food.
Chip
So I saw this video. It was posted by Spencer Pratt and we'll talk about what he said after. But here we go.
Interviewer
This is Zoran Mamdani. He's running for mayor of New York and currently polling second. Here's what he normally sounds like.
Chip
We gather tonight in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in the history of the world.
Interviewer
But in an interview in South Africa, he sounded a little different.
Chip
I actually created a playlist for.
Jeff
For Mira, who also happens to be my mother.
Chip
You know, nepotism and hard work goes a long way. And that Jeff, huh? Full of shit. An absolute shyster.
Interviewer
In an interview with the Turkish American
Jeff
podcast, look at his face.
Chip
Yeah, look at. Yeah, look at the.
Jeff
His hand gestures when he talks stuff. He's always tapping himself. Who also happens to be my mother.
Chip
You know, nepotism and hard work goes a long way.
Interviewer
And in an interview, the Turkish American podcast, Mamdani sounded different Again, to be
Chip
honest with you, brother Mansoom, is that at this point, not many people are thinking about it.
Interviewer
And here is Zoran during his rapper days.
Chip
You know, it would have been here earlier, but worldwide tour is a worldwide tour is a worldwide tour.
Unidentified Guest 2
You can't just.
Jeff
Celebrity things.
Unidentified Guest 2
You can't just.
Chip
You can't just stop it.
Interviewer
You know, I do a deep dive into Zohran Maldani and his changing accents for the free press. Read it@the FP.com
Chip
and how did that do it? Got zero. Well, anyway, Spencer Pratt said this. He said these commies are all spoiled theater kids who never made it in life. They want status and wealth, but they aren't talented enough to make it. So they just take it from you. Like when Hassan wears a mild jersey in his Porsche. They're all scammers, right? Yep.
Jeff
All of them.
Chip
That's so spot on, Jeff. They're so full. They're just absolutely 100% full of.
Jeff
How old is mom, dummy?
Chip
34. Who cares? I'm telling you, he's done after this. Dude, they're not. He's not getting reelected.
Jeff
Well, I think they're gonna office. I don't. I don't think he stays.
Chip
I don't think he stays either. He might not even stay in the country because he's inciting violence, basically. Then you got this from Mossab Hassan Yousef we talked about here before. But again, an important message. As someone who grew up in the Muslim world, I've seen this pattern repeat itself. When Muslims are weak and in the minority, they speak endlessly about tolerance, coexistence, and peace. Then they become strong and gain power. The tolerance completely disappears, even towards their own people. It's not an opinion. Historical fact proven across centuries and across many countries. The west needs to understand this pattern before it's too late.
Jeff
That's right. Again, I love thing as we understand it. We've seen it. Badger said these grifters are trained by someone to fit in so they can get in. That's it.
Chip
Yeah. 100.
Jeff
That could be his real accent. That's the scary part, right? Accent in New York is the fake accent.
Chip
That's the act. That's the act. That's the theater kid in him.
Jeff
Yep.
Chip
You know, you know what's really weird though is Gavin Newsome.
Unidentified Guest 1
He's.
Sid Rosenberg
He's.
Chip
This Gavin Newsom dude is like. He's a. He's an odd dude. Here he is right here. Look at this. Check out his hat too. But look at the hat he's wearing.
Unidentified Guest 3
I have two dozen Trump 2028 hats
Chip
his folks keep sending me.
Unidentified Guest 3
I wasn't exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail a Trump 2028 hat from one of his biggest supporters. These guys are not screwing around now.
Donald Trump
I'm gonna do it again. Thank you.
Chip
They're sending him in the mail all the time. He's getting hats. It really set like a piss. And the funny thing is for the people listening on the audio, he was wearing by AI they put a Trump 2028 bat when he was talking about it, as if he went. As if he went out there and actually bought it. Jeff, you know we need to go around the world. Yeah, 2028.
Jeff
I love it.
Chip
You ready to go around the world here, Jeff? Oh, yeah. It's time. Grab your passport. We're going around the world from U. S. To Middle east to Europe to China. The headlines are moving.
British Patriot
We're connecting the dots.
Chip
Let's go around the world. Here we go. Around the world. This is from the British patriot and I'll play the video in a second, but it says we're witnessing a revolution across Europe from England to Greece, Germany to Scotland. Ordinary people flood the streets. Streets with one clear message. Mass deportations. And here is the video. I have to turn it down with a superchortation. They have. They have another clever name. It's like reimmigration, I think they call it. They call it something.
Jeff
I like your immigration.
Unidentified Guest 2
And then.
Chip
Yeah, this is. I don't know if I want to play this video. This is a. Let's see if we got this one here. Actually, I don't think it downloaded this video, which is okay. But this video here, I don't know if we really need to play. We can play in the background, but it's typical. But this was an outrage in Spain. Why, Jeff, you're asking yourself. An Algerian migrant repeatedly head stomped a 46 year old Spanish man. Arturo is fighting for his life in a hospital after attack took place in Valencia. So I don't really. I don't want to show it's not good, but it's just. There's something wrong with these people, man. They're just, they're they're savages, man.
Unidentified Guest 3
They're.
Chip
They're beast.
Jeff
Seeing there's a lot of videos, they don't like being filmed, you know, and so there's a lot of corruption in, in the inside, but they're getting called out, you know, people aren't putting up with this anymore.
Chip
They're tired of it. You talked earlier about the guy in Germany that. With the car. Well, the Lebanese Islamist terrorist Abdul Balal has been shot and killed by the German police in Berlin. After that, they attacked him with the knife. They went to try to attack the police. He carried out the truck ramming attack against the Berlin gay pride parade, killing one and wounding 29.
Jeff
Yep. Now he's gone.
Chip
He's gone. He's dead. Muerto. He's gone.
Unidentified Guest 1
Dead.
Jeff
Was he. Did he grow up in Germany?
Chip
I don't.
Jeff
Was he born in Germany? I forget exactly what the.
Chip
Well, it said he was from. It said he was from. Where was he from? He was Lebanon. He was Lebanese. So I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if he grew up there, what happened. But. Yeah, and then this one, this is another rarity, Jeff. This is. Let's go to the UK for this one. You could take this story here. Go ahead and read this one.
Jeff
Decent. Trump is proposing a new calendar system from Gregorian to Trumpian that resets the election years. I love it.
Chip
That sounds like a great. That's a good one. Good one. We're going to the UK here. Go ahead, take this one.
Jeff
Muhammad Asim Bashir has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 16 years, 135 days after admitting preparation for acts of terrorism. The investigation began. October 2025. Terrorist attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester, uk. Counter terrorism police identified Bashir as a close associate of the attacker. Jihad. Oh, oh, it was Jihad. Through messages recovered from their phones. But police said the pair exchange WhatsApp messages about preparing for war and frequently made anti semic remarks. On the 14th of August 25th, they made a 10 hour round trip to conduct hostile reconnaissance of the UK Defense Academy in Shrivenham, with Bashir driving while Al Shami recorded notes on the basis security under a file titled Espionage. Although both men disposed of their phones, investigators recovered cloud data revealing searches for weapons, potential targets and individuals linked to the Israeli military. CCTV and audio recordings also capture the pair discussing plans for a terrorist attack. But these guys, these guys don't operate in isolation. They're. They're definitely part of a bigger of a bigger issue. If they would dig into their. Their moss are not being monitored. Go see the moss that they attended. Go find their actual network. I don't understand why the police never go into the mosque. They don't go and find the. The initiator of it. And there's so many mosques around Europe and in the US that are calling for the destruction of whatever country they're in. Here, they're calling for the death of the United States. They want to raise up Sharia law. They did a poll that was released recently. I think in the past week or two, 39 of Muslims in the United States want Sharia law. 39, 40%. They don't believe here. They're not compatible with this country. They want Sharia law. You got to leave. There's the door. Ship them back home. They don't belong in this country. It's incompatible with Western civilization.
Donald Trump
They did.
Jeff
39 is probably even a smaller number. This star starts in the mosque. Until these guys assimilate, which they won't. They don't.
Donald Trump
They.
Jeff
They just. They're not compatible. You can't have them in this country. It's. It's just so clear, so straightforward. How do you circumvent, like with the constitution? These guys want to replace the constitution. They're an enemy of the state. Many of them are illegal. You know, it's. We're in a very difficult period of time. Why? Because they let them in. Why did they let them in to begin with? This is. This is what they've done. Across the 57 nations throughout the Middle east have been, you know, taken over through conquest.
Chip
Been happening 1500 years, and people are like, oh, I don't know. We know how the movie ends. We've seen it. It happened over and over again.
Jeff
Yeah. Oh, we didn't know.
Chip
Story is not the Babylon Bee, Although it could be. It's real. Wait till you see who just won the British Citizen award for empowering young women.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
You ready for this? Full burka. Only the eyes. Shipping. And it says right there, Khalija Patel won the certificate of honor for empowering. How are you empowering young girls when you're only your eyes are showing? Explain.
Unidentified Guest 3
I call.
Jeff
I call.
Chip
She do nothing from young women, Jeff.
British Patriot
Nothing.
Jeff
She did nothing. He did nothing to him. Embolden young women. Not when you're being subjugated and you're walking around with your only your eyes showing. I don't. I don't believe it.
Chip
Ireland, Jeff. We're going to go to Ireland. And I'll tell you what I would do if I was there and that was going on. I'd simply light them on fire. That'd be very simple. Muslim migrants keep hanging their prayer mats on the railings outside the Church of Assumption in Tulamore, Ireland, despite that must be where the tula moored. Whiskey's from. Requests from locals over several weeks to remove them out of respect for the church. Now, if you threw your garbage at an outside of a mosque, you'd be doing time in prison. Look at how disrespectful that is. Putting prayer mats, hanging them out the the church. Honestly, you throw lighter fluid, you light them, and you let them rip.
Jeff
That's what you put them in the garbage.
Chip
Yeah, I like running them. That's a lot.
Jeff
Yeah, you can burn them, but they do that on purpose.
Chip
Of course they do. The Muslim country don't sit down there and do this. Well, there are no churches in Muslim countries, but. But they don't sit there and they traffic in the middle of the road and stuff. It's all defiance.
Jeff
Yep.
Chip
Don't do that stuff, Jeff.
Jeff
Exactly.
Chip
I don't do any of that stuff. Dude, listen to this guy about Mandami. Dude. He goes off. I don't know who this guy is.
Unidentified Guest 3
Nice people. But trying to talk to Mayor Mohamdani is like trying to talk to the irgc, okay? This guy is a terrorist. That's the bottom line. I'll say it. You don't want to say it. I'll say it. He's a terrorist. He's a jihadist. He hates the Jewish people. He hates America. He hates the Italian people. He hates the Irish people. He hates the German people. Unless you're Muslim. Mehrmani has no use for you. He is a horrible person and maybe has perpetrated the worst of American and Jewish hate in the history of this country. Those two people stabbed the other day in the airport side of New York City. That blood is on his hands. That blood is on your hands, Mayor Mamdani. We gotta find a way to get this guy out of here. Maybe Dr. Ma Wolf is right. Maybe that election wasn't what it looked like on paper. Maybe he really didn't win. But either way, this guy is the worst thing to happen to New York politics, maybe in the history of our state. He's a lowlife life.
Chip
I mean, I think you may be a bit over your skis and calling him, labeling him a terrorist.
Unidentified Guest 3
And you're probably gonna.
Jeff
How would he say that? He's gonna see her come over Your skis saying that. Come on. I like how he's gonna go. He's trying to protect himself from a lawsuit, probably.
Chip
Yeah. He doubles die. He's not back off. This guy, they knew everything about him before.
Jeff
Like, this is predictable.
Chip
You talked about unpredictability.
Jeff
This is a predictable.
Unidentified Guest 3
Let me ask you this. The Hamas that are in Qatar right now, they've never put on a bullet. Excuse me, an explosive vest. They've never shot anybody. Would you consider those guys terrorists? Because I would. Okay, so his ideologies are in line with the terrorists. Mahmoud Khalil is a campus terrorist. You have to kill somebody to be a terrorist. You have to share the ideology. That's what this guy is. He's no better than the person who actually goes and shoots somebody because he respects that person. He likes that person. That makes him one of them.
Chip
It's just remarkable that
Jeff
by the Muslim.
Chip
Remember when the cop got shot with the Muslim, Who'd he go visit? The Muslim in the hospital? He didn't visit the cop. I mean, this. I mean, wake up, people. People are so shocked about it. At least this guy's willing to call it out. God bless him.
Jeff
He's exactly. Yeah.
Chip
At least he's calling them out. And like, he didn't double down like, oh, maybe you're right. He's like, no, dude, just because you didn't put on the. The explosive vest doesn't mean you're not a terrorist. And he was, He's. Remember he was at that church in February where they were saying
Jeff
was, wife supports the terrorist. She's come out and said she supports the terrorists. So that support for the terrorism on its own. They're in that group 100. Dude, I don't know how many ways you want to cut it, but they're on that side. They're not compatible with Western civilization. They don't belong here either, because they're trying to bring down. They're trying to collapse this country. He's bringing communist doctrine to New York City. He wants to get rid of New York. He wants to change the fabric of this country. Go back to the laws that have been on the books since 1952. If you're a naturalized citizen and you start indoctrinating and promoting communism in this country, you can have your citizenship revoked and shipped out of the country. It's on the books. The law in the books. And you know, you're trying to promote doctrine, Sharia law, and communism in this country. Guess what, naturalized citizen, that your, your, your citizenship can be revoked.
Chip
That's Sid Rosenberg. He's the host of the number one news talk show in New York, around the country. Sit in, friends. So that's, that's who, that's who that was. And there's a pitch. There he is with Donald Trump. So kind of tells you where, kind of tells you what's going on with them. But that's who that guy was that just called it out.
Jeff
What's that?
Chip
His name is Sid Rosenberg. The guy, remember the guy? He's the host of the number one talk show in New York and around the country. But this is a picture of him. There he is with Trump right there. So it kind of shows you what. So he hates Mandami. He's a, he's a conservative. So he doesn't believe in all this. And you know what's funny, Jeff, is you know the dsa, the, the Democrat
Jeff
Socialists of America, they're everywhere in Canada. Oh yeah, yeah, sure.
Chip
This, this. Listen, she was on Fox, Jeff. And listen to the questions now. Listen for the answers. I can't wait to hear your, I can't wait to hear your commentary after this one platform.
Interviewer
And I want to ask you, just give me sort of a true or false on these. Abolish the Senate.
Donald Trump
True.
Interviewer
Okay. Replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.
Unidentified Guest 2
Yep.
Interviewer
Abolish ice. Absolutely. Abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the US Illegally. As a long term plan. Yep. Defund the Pentagon. Absolutely. Abolish prisons, at least in large part. Yeah. Again, as part of a long term program.
Donald Trump
Yeah.
Interviewer
Okay. So no prisons, government, or public ownership of most large corporations. Yeah, absolutely. Okay.
Chip
So it's communism, by the way.
Interviewer
Let's go back through some of those then. Abolish the Senate. There are people who are in the Senate now who are very supportive of dsa. They lose their seats. Well, the Senate is a, an anachronistic institution.
Chip
What does that mean, Jeff?
Jeff
Why did they make up.
Chip
It's. First of all, you can't get rid of the Senate. You'd have to, you'd have to have a, you'd have to have a con, a state. What do you call that? You assemble all the states and you need, you would need 4, 35 states to vote and you'd have to ratify the Constitution. You're not going to get rid of the Senate. But this is all they did that we're going to, we're going to abolish the ice. How are you gonna abolish ice? You got to change the law first. If it's illegal to be in the country. You need somebody to enforce that law. And that's called ice. My God, these people are so stupid.
Jeff
He called it anachronistic belonging or appropriate to a period other than that being portrayed.
Chip
What sounds like more gobbledygook to me. What the hell?
Jeff
So the Senate is from a period of time from, from before. Like it doesn't. The Senate doesn't have a place now, therefore all government doesn't it. And who are these people? Who are these people? Are they giving them air time? These people are mentally ill. She's a mentally deranged human being that needs to be in a mental institution 15, 20 years ago. They would not give that person like that airtime. You would say this person is mentally ill. Put them in a mental institution. The, the crazies, the beta crazies that have zero leadership skills, like the police force over in the uk, right? All the Betas that run around that are weak and, and, and, and feckless, they put them in charge. They would never ever rise up to any type of status that would put them in a position like that. Leadership, they put artificially prop up politicians or put people there to win elections that are just, they just, they just don't belong. This, the whole, this whole. That's what I'm saying. Everything is just like so upside down and backwards. It just makes no sense. Zero sense. These people have done nothing. I. Someone like that. Who is that person? Like, why, why are they giving her air time? Is she the head of the Communist party? Is she a professor? Is she a school teacher? Like, what is this person? Why, why are we even.
Chip
These people, these terrorists, these people, they're always living off the government. Like, dude, we're going to work ass up every day and going to work. And I love these people. They're like, they want. What's going on anyway, Jeff, that's all the time we got. We gotta get out of here. It's almost a two hour podcast, by the way. Are we doing Wednesday night? I can't do Wednesday. Are we doing Wednesday?
Jeff
I think so. I should be able to do one.
Chip
You'll do Wednesday, Saturdays out. Sunday's out. I'll probably do Sunday, but I don't. But Saturday is out for me.
Jeff
Saturday's out.
Chip
So yeah, we got a lot of stuff going on here. We're in the vacation season. We're in the, you know, portion of our. So there'll maybe a lot of spotty stuff.
Jeff
I have another workshop Saturday morning.
Chip
Yeah, that's what I'M saying, so I don't do it Saturday. And actually, I got friends in, so Saturday's probably.
Jeff
Look at that. This Badger's first time here.
Chip
I like that, man. Fantastic. Really appreciate it, man. So you can tell your friends. Your friends, man. Bring them.
Jeff
So we're here three times a week, typically 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time on Sundays, Wednesdays 8:00pm and Saturday morning 8:00am so this Wednesday will be back 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time. We'll be missing Saturday, missing this weekend because of travel whatnot. But then we'll be back at it. A lot of great content here. Make sure you go to onthechain IO and you go back and watch, listen to and read through all the content of all. How we put all the different shows together. And with that, man, there's all sorts of stuff like smatter. Look at that. There you go. You wanted to hear the guy side to eliminate this. We'd have to go through, read through and see what that would. I don't think it would ever happen,
Chip
but yeah, we'd have to do that. But anyway, guys, that's it. Thank you, guys. Appreciate you guys. Thank you for staying longer. It was a long show tonight. My God, dude, Gotta get that.
Jeff
I didn't think we'd do an hour 50.
Chip

Episode Title: XRP Is MISSING This
Podcast: On The Chain—Blockchain and Cryptocurrency News + Opinion
Hosts: Chip & Jeff
Release Date: July 27, 2026
This episode of On The Chain centers on two main themes:
The tone is community-focused, candid, and often irreverent—mixing technical deep-dives, strong opinions, a critical lens on U.S. politics, and wide-ranging critiques of crypto and global current events.
"But once that XRP arrives, what happens next? That's a big question." – Jeff (00:24)
"If the answer is yes, XRP no longer is limited to just being something you simply send and receive." – Chip (00:39)
"What happens when XRP finally gains the capabilities sort of been missing all this time?... it becomes more about now. What?" – Chip (02:00–02:37)
"I think the API is a big part of that automation... You got tracking across the whole life cycle." – Chip (07:21–08:52)
"People overlook actual functional technology within the ecosystem. They're so hyper focused on the price..." – Jeff (08:52)
"You're taking people who already have something functional on another chain. Now you're looping in a new group. This makes a lot of sense." – Chip (22:17)
On the Real Utility (00:58–01:41):
"XRP can move value... But once that XRP arrives, what happens next? ... Can you put it to work... do it without giving up custody? Because if the answer is yes, XRP no longer is limited to just being something you simply send and receive." – Chip
Flare's Imminent Impact (02:00–02:37):
"What happens when XRP finally gains the capabilities it’s sort of been missing all this time?... Now what?" – Chip
Ripple Mint Announcement (05:19): "It's a unified platform for institutions to access Mint, redeem and manage none other than R.L. uSD." – Chip
Community Focus on Price vs. Development (08:52):
"They're so hyper focused on the price that they typically miss out on the real part of what the development." – Jeff
XRPL Ecosystem Growth (22:17):
"You're taking people who already have something functional on another chain. Now you're looping in a new group." – Chip
On U.S. Political Paralysis (30:03):
"If the Senate doesn’t pass clarity, the American government’s truly broken." – John Deaton (quoted by Chip)
If you’re interested in the intersection of crypto technology and politics—with a healthy dose of irreverent humor—this episode delivers on both insight and opinion, especially for those passionate about XRP and blockchain’s fight for real-world adoption.
