Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What is going on? Chip, what's going on? Everybody out there in the on the Chain community, you know who you are. That guy over there sitting in the chair watching his TV screen. You. Yep, you. Chip. Man. I'll tell you what. Most people still think XRP is still a trade. What if that's already wrong? Gotta think about that. Because while everybody's watching price charts, government bonds are moving on chain in Korea and institutions are building custody infrastructure and entire regions are aligning around digital assets is where it gets exciting. And when you start connecting these pieces this stops looking like isolated stories and starts looking like a global shift. And this really isn't speculation anymore. Chip. I'll tell you what. It's already happening.
B
Yeah, Jeff and I think that right there is the key. Individually people see it kind of as headlines but then when you kind of step back started looking at what's happening across regions like you said Korea, you mentioned the Middle east developers building on the xrpl. This isn't early stage adoption anymore. This is infrastructure being rolled out and basically in real time. Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain. How's everybody doing? Oh, oh, oh.
A
Right. So let's get right into this because what we just laid out, Chip, that's not one story. Everybody should realize that this is multiple signals. It's like multiple smoke signals happening all at the same time. And most people I'm looking around the room still looking at these individually now instead of seeing what they actually form together tonight. Everyone out there, guess what? We are going to connect the dots.
B
Connect them up. We got to connect them for sure. 100 and that's what we're going to start off with. I want to talk a little bit about Zao Dao. So Jeff, week one of decentralized governance is already in the books. Here's what happened. So governance officially live. It's up to 1200 I think. 1200. I'll have to take an official peek but I think it's 1200 members so far. And for the thousand members was achieved on April 2nd and it's growing proposals then were written and suggest put up. You and I both had a proposal.
A
Oh yes.
B
So the proposals this week were the weekly proposal notification system that ends in well now a couple hours maybe it's already over. That was mine. Yours. The $10 a year that's the price is showing up. That's up for voting guys. Go vote on that. That's just proposal onboarding. Thousands of User to XRPL through Healthcare Nurse Help me. And tomorrow night we will be doing a space on this. Jenna X and myself will be doing a space. We'll talk about. We talked all about proposals last time. People got up on stage, started talking. We have other people come up asking questions. So guys, if you miss the show on Thursday nights, come on and join us. Go to Jenna X's handle. I can probably post it in there, but go ahead and create a notification. But you guys can come into the space tomorrow also. Equal voting power. One wallet, one vote. That opens up on April 18th. Proposals passed. None. Why? Because proposals failed to meet the quorum. Nobody's showing up to vote Z. Principles of value and conduct and establishment of validator support grant Framework. The top one was Santiago's. The bottom one was.
A
I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Tell you what's gonna happen. Everybody that's in our chat, everyone who comes in to our show here. Chip, when does yours expire?
B
It already in a couple hours.
A
Gotta go to Zaldao, go to the Zel and go check it out. And go log in and vote for Chip's proposal. Yay or nay. And then go and look for my proposal. $10. You can just find it by the $10 and look for both. Chips. Proposal. My proposal. You can read it through. You can vote yes. No. Just engage with it. It'll be very cool.
B
Yeah.
A
Engagement with the. With the proposal. Obviously it probably needs a good engagement, but it'll be great to see some activity. This is really. We look around the world and you start seeing engagement. In the next story, we're going to dive into real world utility on the blockchain, utilizing the xrpl, looking at bonds and, and tokenization and all of that. This is your opportunity right now to interact with the xrpl. Interacting with the DAO and, and taking a piece of history, which is voting. Participating in the governance of the project. That's exciting. Now imagine we could take this concept and now you're voting for your next elected official through a dow. How great would that be? This. You got to vote on these measures. Let's. Let's test it out and let's see some activity. That's what, that's what we're talking about. Activity on the xrpl.
B
So go vote for Jeff's. Mine's already expired.
A
No, go vote for mine. Mine's out there. Make sure that we get it to pass because everybody out there wants to make sure that the Zaldau continues to year two and Builds out the treasury. I think that's probably what I'm finding
B
out by engaging some people online. They've said to me that they want to. They just want to support it. They want to join, they want to be in support. They don't want to vote. So probably what will be happening soon will be delegated voting. In other words, you delegate your vote to somebody to vote for you. So yeah. So delegated votes is big popular because 50% of people vote. You'll never reach. You never reach quorum and then you never pass anything.
A
So that happens all the time.
B
Time all the time. So this.
A
We have to go out and collect
B
proxies, but this is why it's good to, you know, to see this stuff live. Oh, geez. That's working. That's not working. That's what the ZODA is all about. Built on it.
A
Ellie Slade.
B
Oh, Kelly Slade's in here. Oh, look at that. Hey, peeps. What's up? And Ripple put this out. Their partnership with Kyogi Life Insurance. Kyobo, if I'm pronouncing that right. Kyobo Life Insurance, one of Korea's largest, most established life insurance companies to explore on chain financial infrastructure using what Rebel custody. Kyobo comes as a first tier one Korean issuer to take this step bringing government bond settlement closer to real time. This is what institutional digit asset adoption looks like. I like. They put that in there, Jeff.
A
It's exactly what it looks like. Can we see?
B
That's exactly what it looks like. You don't have to be told, but sometimes you have to be reminded. Right?
A
That's exactly what. Do they have an infographic that we can look at? Something really cool.
B
This is what it looks like too. They got this official.
A
There it is. There's the infographic.
B
This is so exciting that I actually wrote a blog post about this.
A
You're booking a meeting with the Ripple AI advisor. Great.
B
I want to get rid of it is what I want to do. I wrote an article about how we always make fun of these things, but things that nobody ever said and nobody cared about.
A
Yep.
B
Fewer. Managing Director Agent Pacific Ripple say Korea's institution of financial market is at an inflection point. We're privileged to be entered alongside Cuba Life Insurance, one of Korea's most respected financial institutions. The first major issuer in the country to take this step with us. The partnership is a signal to the broader market. The institutional grade digital asset infrastructure is no longer future aspiration. It's available, proven and ready for deploy in Korea today. She never said that, Jeff. She never said any of that. No, she didn't say. She didn't say any of that.
A
Definitely didn't.
B
Nobody talks like that except for AI. AI talks a lot like that. So. But read Monica's, Monica Law and president of Ripple. Read her statement about this.
A
See Monica Long statement. Where's Monica Long statement Gilbert Life Choosing Ripple custody to support on chain settlement reflects where the market is heading. I agree with that. I think this is real exciting. Take note, get an idea where Korea is, get an idea where Japan is, get an idea where some of the other parts of the world are at at this point with technology. Korea and Japan are just lightning years ahead of where we're at right now. Not to say we can't catch up, but let's continue. When a leading Korean financial institution brings real assets on chain, the industry takes note. Proud to partner on Korea's first tokenized government bond settlement. This is, this is it. That's, that's real world. You can't get any more real world than that when you're right. Tokenize government bond settlement. It's. That's it. That's the pinnacle right there. Real assets on chain, government issued. And you see it over in Korea. What was the, what was the number when we were in Australia two years ago?
B
What was the engage like seven out of ten? It was a lot like six or seven. Seven out of ten people who even own crypto and a lot of it was xrp. So it was pretty incredible. Yeah, for a small country, you know, it's amazing. You were there last year and I was in Japan last year. Jeff. We both were in Asia. How about that? And then crypto. Eddie put this awesome post out here. She says who often moves first? Well, it's other than Jessitaka Katao, you know him, he is the CEO of SBI holdings in Japan. He purchased 5% of Kyoba Life a few years back for 18 billion yen. And then he acquired the company on April 17, 2025. And yesterday ripple announced the custody first partnership. Says more APEC is coming soon. 100 guaranteed. By the way, please research. Kyoba Life Insurance receive regulatory approval to acquire a 50 plus 1 share stake in SBI Savings bank from Japan's SBI Group for approximately 900 billion Korean won. So aiming to complete the transaction by the first half of 2026. The acquisition will make Kyobo the largest shareholder of South Korea's top savings bank. Transforming the its insurance focused structure into a comprehend. There's no better researcher out There than crypto Edge puts it all together. It's nice to have the insight behind it. How, you know, Katao, you know, bought a small part of it, then he purchased the whole thing. And then you've got Cuba Life going ahead and acquiring 50, plus the 1 stake, you know, an SBI savings bank. Badass there. About this big milestone from Garlinghouse, Jeff. So Yesterday I celebrated 11 years of Ripple. Back then, I couldn't have predicted what we'd be fighting. We'd still be fighting for regulatory clarity. Fight's been worth it. After a day in D.C. having great conversations. Senator Hagerty, Bernie Marino, Tim Scott, John Boozman and Patrick Witt on stage at Semaphore World Economic Summit. I know we're closer than ever. I could almost feel it, Jeff. I can almost taste it. 30 ACT windows open now. It's our moment to act. That. That is a good meeting, man. Look, it's so great that Garlinghouse is mixing it up with, you know, key people, right? I mean, these people are all pretty, Pretty important people. Tim Scott, you said you see at the table there, Bernie Marino. It's good stuff, man. Very good stuff. And then, Jeff, take this one. Reese Merrick. Reese is the. He runs the managing director of the Middle east and Africa.
A
Yeah, they call it Reese, Reese Merrick. This is good, too. Look at this. So we're going from Korea to the Middle East. Look at this. More. More engagement. New region. Not the us, not Europe, by the way, honored to be nominated by Unlock BC as one of the top leaders advancing the digital asset space. Where? In the Middle East. Continue here. The region is moving fast and Ripple has been here for it, working alongside regulators and partnering with financial institutions to embed digital asset infrastructure in the region. Look at that chip. I mean, this. This is impressive. Again, more progress, more initiative. This. All this stuff has been in. In play for the past couple years. Even then, you know, we're all tripping over ourselves. We're still tripping over ourselves with the Clarity act and other regulatory clarity because the congressional representatives are too busy enriching themselves to vote and pass regulation that will actually make things better like this. But here we have the Middle east as a leading global. Continue. I kind of stepped off of his statement here. Going back to it. The Middle east is a leading global hub for digital asset infrastructure. This is a region where ambition is matched by execution and where decisions being made today will shape how value moves and across the world tomorrow. Being recognized in that context means a great deal. That's pretty good. If you'd like to support my nomination, you can cast your vote here. What is he getting nominated for?
B
He's nominated for the top 20 leaders.
A
Top 20 leaders.
B
Unlock BC is the unlock blockchain.
A
There you go.
B
That makes independent media for blockchain. So you can see that they're like one of the movers and shakers out of the top 20 of the region. And I'm put this. I'm going to put this in here, guys, so we can all vote. There it is. Go vote for Reese if you want.
A
Who should we all vote for? 1. One group. Vote, vote, vote. Let's see. And go to the zone to Z. Vote for my. My update.
B
Where's our. Where's our guy? Where's.
A
Where is he?
B
Where is he?
A
Not there. He's in the top 20.
B
There he is. Boom. Five points, guys. Go vote for him.
A
What was the website? Just put it in the chat.com.
B
so we go like this. Just curious. If I come in like this, if I do a. Bitcoin network, go to front twice. What do you think about that?
A
Unlike BC.com brought me to bitcoin network incognito window.
B
It's in the chat. You can just grab it out of the chat right there.
A
And I'd have to log into YouTube.
B
No, grab it, you screenshot it, then you open it, then you copy and paste. Oh, that's right. You're not on that. Forgot you're not a Mac. Never mind. It's too easy on a Mac Work.
A
So it works.
B
On a Mac it all works very well. Look at the ticker at the bottom. XRP there.
A
Unlock bc.com brings me right to the Bitcoin network. Unlock-bc.com unlike-bc.com. how did I miss that?
B
I don't know.
A
Why would you want the exact same website? Why would you want the exact same website? Unlock-bc and unlock BC way too similar.
B
Well, because. Because somebody got the first one. You had to go with the dash. Why don't you just rename it something else? Exactly. So you just click on the. This right here, Jeff.
A
And you keep running into what I just did. You'd be like, what the heck? I'm not going to do it again. Okay, we're voting. Let's vote for. Who should we vote for?
B
Reese.
A
Let's vote for Reese.
B
There we go. Look at this, Jeff. The XRP community magazine launched. Panos is featured. Look at this. This one's a little bit blocky. I don't know. I would have gone with something I Don't know. I, I, I, I like the layout, but the, the font choices are difficult to read.
A
I'm gonna do this in Arabic. Maybe I'll find it better.
B
So here we go. Let's go look at this magazine. We're not gonna have time to look through it all, but you can see there's Odelia Tortman. She's runs the, she's the director of corporate adoption over there. Here we go. Cable contents. So this is a. Just a digital magazine. It's got really good stories in there. I caught myself reading quite a bit of these stories here. XRP and LN numbers Q1, 2026. Snapshot of the XRPL activity. It's a lot of stuff going on. I like how they pulled all these numbers off to the side here, over here. And then they have this big chart to kind of show you what the makeup is all together. And then we got a panels article. Very good one. The iPhone moment for XRPL. Defining moment for XRP.
A
Moment.
B
Here's the thing. Defining moment for XRP in Australia. That was about the. There's an article about Australia again.
A
What magazine is this?
B
This is the XRPL Community magazine.
A
Got it.
B
And just. I'm just flipping through it to kind of give you an idea what the stories look like. The road map. What we learned at XRPL Commons. The next chapter. Stable coins scaling institutional D5 with RL USD. Why interoperability is crucial for free markets beyond token transfers. There's a lot of stuff in here. A lot of good stuff.
A
Let me ask you a question. If this was delivered to you, would you take your time to flip through this?
B
Yeah, I did today.
A
Did you really?
B
Yeah. No.
A
If you weren't looking for, like, content or an article versus if they set up some sort of a.
B
This doesn't work here.
A
See these?
B
Big. It's hard to read. Big, blocky. Looks like somebody smeared it. Bad font choice.
A
And then the time it takes to flip through it.
B
Nice.
A
Not a big fan of these magazines.
B
Just hit the button. Well, it'd be too expensive to print. That's why they don't print it.
A
I know, but just different format. I think I get the concept of it. A lot of people use it, but find it. Sometimes the font doesn't read well. Hard to enlarge it, hard to use it.
B
Actually, you just feel like this.
A
You could do that now. Try to flip the pages.
B
Well, you know, I'm not flipping the pages when I'm reading it.
A
But now let's say you want to go flip it now, you're gonna have to minimize it. Then flip it. That's okay.
B
I don't know why Moonpay put this up, but they put this thing out in Brad We Trust. And you see this like you don't need to hear the sound. It just sounds like mechanical. But here that opens up and music. There you go. That's all the things that are in his head, right? They said in Brad we Trust, they put out in Brad We Trust Moonpay. I'm starting to think that some of these other accounts are more pro XRP than even Ripple because they're. I mean. So listen to this. Look at this, John. This is crazy talk coming up when you see. Let me see, where's the stories? There it is right there. There's Solana. Yeah, just type. Just put xrp. What is Solana? The official Solana site. Typing xrp.
A
Yeah. What was the point of that?
B
I don't know. But this is funny because Alex, what did it say? Look at this. It says. Well, it said xrp. And then Alex Cobb said, what do you. What are you under NDA about? And he put a picture of Mike Tyson. They said, we signed 589ndas. Somebody over there is an XRP fan, man. I mean this is. Dude, this is more XRP than, than ripple 589 x 8. This is fantastic. I mean they really are doing some fantastic stuff. I laughed my ass off when I saw. I was like, what In Brad We Trust, then Ripple X. Take this next story, Jeff.
A
Ripple X posting all sorts of stories here. The future of institutional finance is being built on xrp. That's right. Now the Ripple X. We're looking for builders tackling real pain points and payments, credit and AI powered finance using XRPL's newest on chain primitives. Three challenge tracks. One goal solutions that drive real on chain activity. I want to go up to the point that they made there about solutions. Paint or pain points. They are looking for pain points in payments. Pain points are problems. So there's a problem in the payment and credit space. And AI powered finance. There's stuff that has to be identified. They're going to tackle it or they're looking for builders to tackle it. There's somebody out there that is going to do something so impressive that it's going to be a game changer and that's.
B
I can't wait.
A
You know, it's. It's right there. Someone's going to stumble on it playing around with AI. They'll be like oh my God. That just changed the game and all of a sudden that's it.
B
What they're talking about is The Swiss Hacks 2026 innovation. Rockstar Partner Ripple spent over a decade building the infrastructure. Here it is right here. It Swiss hacks. It'll be in Zurich, Jeff, you want to go attend that? You can either sponsor a challenge or you can apply to it. Oh, I like how they put on by Tenity. So another great initiative. Got the Solana things here. This is kind of interesting here. So Nikita Beer, who's one of the big, he seems like that he's a developer but he's like one of the big head of product over there at X. X has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors. Billions of dollars of allocated every day based on what people read on the timeline. So today we're launching a new cash tags feature in the US and Canada on iPhone. Bring in real world financial data to X and here's how it works. Take this next part, Jeff, because I'm going to pull it up my iPhone.
A
How does it work?
B
I'm going to pull it up on my iPhone. I'm going to show you.
A
We'll see.
B
In case you're wondering, let me, let
A
me first, can you search for a post or a cash tag or contract address? X will automatically suggest matching stocks or crypto tokens so you can select the exact asset that you had in mind. Anyone who taps a cash tag will see posts mentioning it along with its price chart without ever leaving X. This ensures that you've always that you're always matched to the chatter for the right stock or token. Cash tags are just the first step in our commitment to be the best destination for the finance and crypto community. That's X taking another major step. And what did you search up? Ripple.
B
So I'll show you what I'm looking at right now. So right underneath that, Ripple put in, you know the hashtag the cash xrp. So if I click on this on iPhone now if you're on the X apply, it'll pull up the real time feed. There it is.
A
Look at that.
B
Boom.
A
That impressive.
B
So you get right there, you never even leave X. So you can see exactly what's going on.
A
And that's only on the mobile app?
B
Yeah, it's only on the mobile app right now. It's only for iPhone. But they'll port it over to. They'll have it.
A
I know, I just had a new update. I just downloaded the new one.
B
I think it's only on iPhone right now.
A
What were you searching up? Let me see.
B
You see, if you click on it, I got like a, like a cash tag. Cash tag, xrp. Any symbol, anything, any kind of stock, whatever. But it's iPhone only, I believe. Let me see where I see iPhone. I saw it somewhere.
A
So let me do a search for something.
B
Let's see. Damn, there it is. US and Canada. IPhone. Yeah. So they haven't rolled it out yet.
A
Why Canada?
B
So you won't be able to use it. Jeff. Sir, you're on Android. It's cool how all the cool stuff is rolling out on Apple devices. Jeff, we're going to segue over to. I like that, guys. By the way, if you're in the United States, today's tax day. This means that from now on you can start earning your money because the government just took a, put their hand in your pocket, took a bunch of your money. April 15th is IRS tax day. Your taxes are due. If they come in tomorrow, if you didn't file for an extension, which I. This first year I got them in on time. Jeff. Usually I file for an extension every year and I think that's like September. But since it's tax day, the Somali community in Minnesota would like to remind everybody that today was tax day. They want to know because then they can set up the layering center. You can see that in the background. The layering center. Look at this.
A
The layering center.
B
So they want you to know it's tax day so we can create more fraud and they can make money. Someone has to get paid. Can't do it for nothing, you know what I'm saying? Ain't for nothing, Jeff.
A
Know what you're saying.
B
Another huge thing. This is the first time in history where the United States nothing exported more oil than at any time in history. It's. Look at the exports going up. It's never been that high in the exports.
A
Trump played, played such an amazing round of us in this last. That's how you and I were talking the other day and I said Trump is playing six dimensional chess. Everybody else is playing checkers. And the YouTube bros out there, they know who they are, are playing marbles with beach balls. That's all I'm saying.
B
They're dumbos. They're dumbos is what they are. Yeah, it's. It's so funny, man. I got some good stuff on that. But this is all strategy. People like, they, they watch the news, they don't know what's going on. They can't figure it Out. They're too dumb. They don't understand Trump is the major troller. Because Trump said. Trump said today. He goes. Or is today or yesterday. He said, the reason I drink Coke is if you pour it on grass, it kills the grass, so it's got to kill cancer cells. And they're having, like, real topical discussions on, like, cnn. And they're. And they're asking in the presser today, they're asking Caroline all about this stuff. I'm like, are you people stupid? I mean, I know you're. But are you that stupid? Do they not recognize a joke? How can he say that it works on this? And where's the medical science behind. It's a joke, people. The left cannot joke. They don't get memes. They get nothing of it. Of the sword, Jeff. It's just ridiculous.
A
Gravitate to Trump.
B
Called out the hypocrisy, posted. The media had an affinity for portraying Barack Hussein Obama as a messianic, angelic figure.
A
It's true.
B
So nobody had problems with this. Did you notice that, Jeff?
A
I did. I remember.
B
Nobody. Do you remember all that stuff, dude? Nobody was offended by it. Nobody said, I can't. They're like, no one said, I cannot believe this is happening. I cannot believe it. No one said a word. Trump, any. And they said he was trying to portray himself as Jesus. He said, no. Like, I'm like, I'm a doctor healing the nation. Meanwhile, Kennedy was a Catholic. Catholic. First Catholic president. You had this. They're all so called Christian guys. But meanwhile, Trump is the most Christian. You know, protecting Christians, talking about Christianity, you know, quoting scripture, prayer. It's the first time it's ever happened by a president. No one present ever done it, but he's the bad guy. Okay.
A
Yeah.
B
By the way, Jeff, I don't know if you saw this. This was something. Did you see this? Online battle erupted between the holiest man in the world and the Pope.
A
Oh, yeah,
B
this is a great. That's a great headline.
A
And Pope Leo, the holiest man.
B
And this Pope Leo is the biggest fraud in the history of.
A
What happened with this book? Where do they find them? How did he get there?
B
Well, he was in Peru. Of course, it had to be the first US President, but he used to. People dug up his old post. He was throwing Trump under the bus. And this. He was a bunch of pissing vinegar with this guy, this agenda. He met with Axelrod and after he met with Axelrod started throwing the barbs out of Trump. Meanwhile, you've got hundreds of thousands of Christians being slaughtered in Africa. Not a word about it. You had 60, 000 people slaughtered in Iran. Not a word about it. Trump's bad. Trump's evil. Trump is really bad. So let's go to this. Let's go to this story right here. Let's look at this one here. This guy. This guy, a comedian, had something to say about it.
C
Trump is Christ.
B
Like, I think it'd be funny if Christ was Trump. Like,
C
I could feed a lot of
B
people with this fish.
C
It's a big fish.
B
It's a beautiful fish.
C
It's a Bronzino. There's the fish I brought. It's a very expensive fish. You've probably never heard of it. They hung me on the cross. These nasty people. Would you believe it? They hung me on the cross. I'm not gonna say it was the Jews, but they were there. They were definitely there, those Jews. I remember them being there. They hung me on the cross. And the fake news didn't tell you. It was a capital T. I would never be hung on a lowercase T. That's extremely disrespectful. It was a capital T. And after that was R, U, M, P. It was the opening of my first building in Bethlehem.
B
They really, Really. Brad Zino. No one's ever heard of that before. I'll be called sacrilegious for playing that, Jeff.
A
I think so.
B
Geez. A little bit of humor goes a long way. I didn't think it was a bad taste. I thought. I thought it was actually clever. Clever humor. You gotta like it. And then this Jeff, this guy says, has something to say about it.
A
Really? People have problems with this. I found plenty of illustrations of Obama as a doctor. Nobody cared about these.
B
Yeah, he said nobody cared about these. No one forgot. Everyone forgot all about it.
A
There he was, every one of them.
B
Every single one of them. No, nobody had. Nobody. Nobody was worried about it.
A
No one even paid attention.
B
Nobody even cared was. It wasn't really on. It was very unimportant anyway. But I couldn't believe that. All the dust up about that, Jeff was insane. The dust up about that.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
Then we have.
A
There's. Honestly, why would anyone be mad at Trump posting himself as Jesus? Like, who gives an F? But let's be serious. The man survived an assassination.
B
Yeah. I mean, he's the greatest troll ever. And I. I went back with somebody, back and forth with somebody in the community about. They were just telling me, oh, he was also in the. He was also in the wildlife thing. Remember, right after his office. It was him. And with the lion. And I'm like, well, if you don't know the difference between the lion and sheep, that's where you live. You live in Europe, so you're the sheep.
A
You.

You gave your. You're like, sure, let's give our sovereignty to Brussels. Sounds good to me. What else can we do to bend over and take it, you know? So we had to go back and forth on a bunch of posts about that today. And I thought this was kind of funny. Breaking rumors are swirling at Scott Besson got into a physical fight with Kevin Hassett this morning over economic policy agreements. He goes, oh, correction, apologies. I was misinformed. It turns out the altercation was due to Hassett claiming he looked more like a Muppet than Besant. He kind of does look like a Muppet, if you know who. I like him. He's very well spoken and he's always happy. He could be telling you, like, well, things aren't going so well. Things aren't going so well. But he's so. You got that big smile on his face all the time.
A
Always happy.
B
Always happy.
A
Always.
B
So then this guy chimed in and said, you know, I love that we have a snarky, gay treasury secretary lives in this pink house, who frequently just beats the. Out of people he doesn't like in the executive. Scott Bassett. I don't know if that's really his house, but it's a funny. It's a funny story, Jeff. That's right. Sometimes you have to do it just for the humor. Just for the humor.
A
It's got a funny, funny kind of side note video as we're kind of going down kind of. These feel good videos. This was a. An English teacher that has turned assembly person in New York, and she had some words for the other side, which I thought was pretty impressive. And let me see. Name is Dawn Bantis. She's an assembly woman in New York. You have that one pulled up? I'll pull it up. Have it up already.
B
I don't have it on the.
A
I. I didn't share it yet. Shoot.
B
No, it's not even in the keep.
A
I got it there. It's at the bottom, but that's all right. I got it.
B
It was. I think you put it after I prepped.
A
Yeah, I did. This is it right here. Let me turn up volume. Turn up the volume. Bump it. There we go. So this. I thought this was just, you know, kind of a fun watch. It's pretty short, but she kind of points out the obvious of what happens a lot of times and what these leftists are up to. You see all the excitement? Look how exciting all these guys are.
B
Yeah, well, it's. What do you think? It's New York Communist. People waiting around, get the paycheck.
A
That's right. Here we go.
D
For the love of God and all that is good. Can you differentiate between the fact that we don't make laws that control the federal government? My God, what are we doing? I'm not a lawyer.
A
I was.
D
I comprehend that. My fifth grade middle school English students would understand it. I am coming to you not from a point of ideology, because I know in the minority party, we already lost that argument. You guys are way, way out in the ether with that. I'm not even hoping to win the ideology. I'm hoping to win the logical argument to say, why do we keep passing laws that are going to end up in court? We lose weight and the taxpayer gets shafted over and over and over. You cannot vote yes for a law that controls local, county, state. Oh, oops. And federal. No, federal's gotta come off for this to count. The only reason why you're passing it is to affect federal agents. Hello? Lights on, no one's home. I'm not an attorney. I need a freaking honorary degree after going through this for four hours yesterday. Saying what? Don't a room full of lawyers understand? Ludicrous. Oh, my goodness.
B
Thank you, Jeff. Are you sure she's not talking about the governor of Virginia? Because they just passed. They're passing something that is going to say ignore the electoral college. For. For voting. We're gonna. We're gonna give it to whoever wins the popular vote. I'm sorry, so this.
A
This was them passing illegal immigration laws?
B
What do you mean illegal? We already have laws passed.
A
No, this state does not trump. This was New Jersey. New Jersey assembly woman loses it on Democrats passing illegal immigration laws. So this is insane, right? New Jersey assembly, so. And then she goes into the whole thing because here they are again. They're trying to pass a law that's going to impact the federal law, which they can't do. And they keep in, apparently, from. Why she's so upset is because it keeps happening over and over again. It goes to court, then the law gets thrown out, but they do it for that period of time. But this is the leftist plan all along. We saw Obama and Biden did it, and it. All these laws that they pass end up in court, end up being unconstitutional, and they get thrown out. And it's the exact same same thing. With what, you know, they're doing over there. I mean, it's amazing, you know.
B
Well, Spanberger is doing the same thing where they're going to like default to. First of all, you, you can't bypass. You can't make up some silly law. The thing is they always know it. They do it to, they do it to complain and then they do it to raise money. So they, they go like, we for our side, we got this and we voted this in and then it gets repealed. I said, see, you see how it is. Conservative judges, you see what happens? Trump administration taking this stuff away from what we voted for. We did this for you. And then they raised, then they sent out emails and they raised money. Please donate so we can keep making these stupid laws. And she's like, yeah, you're wasting taxpayer money. You're doing all this stuff and you got to amount of the legal defense. And then you go to Supreme Court and you lose because it's. And it was funny is they're always like, they're always the ones saying democracy. And Trump, meanwhile, they don't even know what democracy is. But Jeff, you want to know something?
A
I don't know what it is.
B
I have, I, I have a. I'm starting to understand why Democrats don't win. And I think it's this next video. It gives you a kind of a good thing. They're back to singing again. They think it's a good idea to make up silly song. I mean, at least do an AI song. It's gonna sound good. And just look at the people in this video. You're like, they're just amazing. This is what the democrats. That's what they think. Jeff is going to get that more votes. Here they are singing about democracy.
E
Three, four, one, we see that there's a wrong to be right in Two, we know that we are stronger when united Three, we exercise our right to assemble for that's when the proud and mighty start to tremble. Just in case you're wondering, Just in case you're wondering. Just in case you're wondering, hey, hey, look this way. This is what democracy looks like.
B
That's what democracy looks like, Jeff, in case you were one. And it's exactly what it looks like. Because democracy is mob rule. Democracy is centralized control. Democracy is shoving down your throat. That's what democracy is. We don't live in a democracy. Fools. Why do they want to insist? First of all, they'd never read the Constitution. They don't understand the Constitution. They don't understand what the word Democracy means. They don't know that we. I mean, what. Jeff, it's, it's gone. Wait, let's listen to the rest of this. It's so hard to stomach. Let's listen.
E
Show me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like. Show me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like. Show me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like.
A
Oh, God,
B
it's so bad on so many levels. Like, how do you, where do you even start? I mean, it's so, it's so bad. But that's why they're going to be. That's why they. Who would, who likes these people?
A
What?
B
I don't think anybody does. I think you get rid of the voter fraud. I don't think they ever win again. Check this out. Huge win in rio Rancho, New Mexico. Republican Paul Weimer just won the mayor's race, 63% to 37%. That's a 23 point over performance. Trump only carried the city by three points. That's a bloodbath for Democrats. And then you have this one. Three major Republican victories tonight, which was last night. All three races, Republicans not only won big, but increased Trump's margins. West Miami mayor plus 11. West Miami City Council plus 18. Rio Rancho, New Mexico, which we talked about. I mean, this is, you know, because we're like, oh, the new Miami mayor is a Democrat, and blah, blah, blah, blah.
A
Well, that's not going to last long.
B
It's. Yeah, it's. Trust me, the policies are bad. There's a reason people are leaving New York City, they're leaving New York and they're leaving California in droves. Yeah, because it's the.
A
Yeah, So I had to, I had someone that is working with the Lieutenant Governor of Florida and actually working with his campaign running for governor. So I had him at a meeting yesterday, but it was really interesting to hear. He lives down in Miami and he was, we were talking about the specific shift from blue to red. You know, what's happened, you know, where positioning, if you. To look at it, in comparative to like I75 or I95. What regions are steadily turning red. And the trend through Miami is that they're seeing a major red shift and it's coming out in the polling, it's coming out in voter registration. So they're seeing major changes taking place in Miami. You know, the one where the, the mayor won, it was kind of off, like an off election. You know, there's a whole, there are a whole bunch of reasons why that panned out. You Know, kind of in. In that. In that way. But we got to see some major shifts, you know, and. Well, we're seeing. We're seeing those shifts take place on the ground. We just need more of it. And it's going to take more time, more boots on the ground, more people, actually. So one of the things that stood out that he had said was that as they clean up the voter rolls, they're seeing more and more shift towards Republican red in the counties. So what's been happening, predominantly, and they. They cleaned up in Palm beach, they're cleaning up in Miami, significantly, and they're starting to see it in Broward as they get rid of the voter rolls, the old ones, the people that move, the people that died. And what they had noticed is that since they were obviously holding these people on the voter rolls and dead people are voting. Right. And so that's where, when they look at the numbers, registration wise, they keep them on the voter rolls. Because you have a lot of Democrats. It was predominantly Democrat blue. They want them on the voter rolls. Once you get them off, then you actually realize how much closer the. The red is to the blue.
B
You're talking about Jay Collins.
A
Yeah, Jay Collins.
B
Loser, big L on his head. Bad move. Politic game is over. He's done. This is another bad move by DeSantis. And DeSantis is not that smart at times. This is why he failed on the national stage. He runs a great state, but he's dumb. And what does he do? Got Byron Donalds, who's. Who's going to clean that position up. So he puts a dope like Jake. He puts dopey Jake Collins. Oh, Jay Collins is not going to be the lieutenant governor. And guess what? He's going to announce his candidacy, man. Dumb move. Dumb move. Because you know who the next governor of the state of Florida is?
A
Donald.
B
That's right. And douchebag Jay Collins. Douchebag Jay Collins and douchebag Desantis and their stupidity. This is like one of the dumbest things you can do. And it just. It's just gonna make a. It's just gonna embarrass the guy.
A
Oh. By bringing him on. And then immediately it's not.
B
I mean, this guy could have a good political career, but you're. You're burning him like it's not. You're not doing him any favors by making a lieutenant governor. Right.
A
It's the same thing DeSantis did when he won his governor and immediately started running for president.
B
Right. It's just. It's the it's the wrong move. It's like it's a. I. Listen, it's one thing if he made this guy lieutenant governor two years ago, but you're just making a lieutenant governor right before, right before you're out. It's just not a good race. You're gonna burn this guy's career. So this guy's putting up as a sacrificial lamb and because originally, remember it was going to be Casey, his wife was going to run.
A
Right.
B
And she was pulling at like minus 3%. Like yeah, it's not going to work. But Byron, Byron Donaldson, when He's pulling like 40 points ahead of everybody.
A
Oh yeah. Nobody to run.
B
Speaking of governor races, look at this right here. Check out this shock poll. So you know that Swalwell is out. Steve Hilton leads every Democrat in the crowded field. He's with 25. Support the next one. You've got Tom Steyer, Katie Porter and Matt Maha. There's actually another guy that they don't have in here that I thought would be is a bigger name. And there you go. Nut job. Nut job, nut job. I like the Steve Hilton. I used to watch his. I used to listen to his radio show and his in on tv. He's English guys, hard hitting, smart. He's got some really good ideas. He'll be the next governor. So you know that, you know they took swallow out pretty quick, Jeff. Taking his ass out.
A
They wanted him out. They had to get out of the way. The timing is interesting. Look at all all the women that are coming forward fast one after another. If incidents that happened like in 2018, 2019, we're talking about like seven, eight years ago and they're all coming out last year. Yep. Never before but they're stack and they all have stories. None of them know each other. All very similar stories.
B
Fake. Moderate Spamberger just signed a bill to render Virginians vote for president null and void. HB965 says all Virginia's electoral college votes go to the winner of the national popular vote, no matter who wins the popular vote in our commonwealth. Constitutional and you know it's unconstitutional.
A
Come on.
B
Yeah. Over. Not gonna override. This is why they don't like the electoral college because it gives smaller areas and states a voice. They just want the mob rule. They want the dictatorships. Dictatorships all came out of democracies, Jeff.
A
Just saying every one of them, you know they led you to believe that you had a voice.
B
This is the best. This is the best post ever. Last week, April 7, Swal wrote, the president must be removed. If Congress is too cowardly to do it, his own cabinet must.
A
Guess who's gone.
B
Days later.
A
Gone, gone.
B
The Deep State took out Swalwell in seven days. And you think they still have something on Trump
A
that is beautiful as they took him down.
B
That is just beautiful. And I got some video here, too. This is. I mean, and then, you know that other dude, Gallego, he's the other guy that's was. He's gotta go. There's stuff coming out about him now. Jeff, do you want to see who the Democrats were for Swalwell and thought he was great. Listen to this.
A
The Golden State will be in good hands with Shifty.
B
Shift says it'll be in good hands with the. With the molester.
A
I know the Golden State will be in good hands with Eric Swalwell, and I hope you'll join me in supporting his campaign. Campaign.
B
I'm in.
A
I'm in.
D
I'm in.
B
I'm 100% in. By the way, dude, what happened to Sean Penn? Dude, this guy's three years older than I am. He looks like he got punched in the face. He looks like a career drug pill, you know, I mean, alcoholic dude. He looks like he's 78 years old.
A
He looks bad.
B
He looks really bad. I mean, you think about Fast Times Original High. That's Spicoli. Spicoli. Too much partying, man. I'm in.
A
I'm in.
B
I'm in. I'm in.
A
I'm in.
B
I'm in.
D
I'm in.
A
I'm with Eric Swalwell.
F
I'm in.
C
I'm in.
B
I'm in.
A
I'm in.
B
I'm in.
A
I'm in.
B
I'm in. I'm in. We're in. I'm in.
A
I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.
B
I'm in. I'm in.
C
I'm in.
A
I'm in.
G
I'm in.
B
I'm in.
D
I'm in. I'm in.
A
Go back. Was that a priest? No.
B
I think so.
A
I thought I saw.
B
You got it. Seek in there. Look at this guy. He's just happy to be alive. Yeah, I thought that you thought that guy.
A
Oh, they have a doctor caller.
B
There's a doctor. Yeah. There's no call. I am all in. You guys get the opportunity to have
A
someone very effective in a position of leadership.
B
Somebody who's capable, knowledgeable, experience.
H
There's no one more real than Eric Swalwell.
B
Oh, no. I'm in. I'm in.
A
I'm In.
B
This is a long video about who's in.
A
I'm in. I'm in.
B
I'm out. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. They thought that was a good ad, too. That's what they thought. Like, imagine those people, like, hey, how. How exciting was that that you were in. Yeah, I'm out. By the way, his biggest supporter gave a million dollars to his campaign. They interviewed him, and he said, I. I don't want to talk to the guy anymore. I did not know this. And he said, I'm now becoming a Libertarian or Republican. That's what he said. Swallow turns them against their own man. That's what he said. So, by the way, you want to know what Swallow's greatest accomplishment. I'm going to play it one second. I'm going to play his greatest accomplishment. I don't think anybody will disagree with me because this is one hell of accomplishment. It hasn't. It hasn't even been matched to this day. So when you see this, you're gonna be like, yeah, that's his greatest accomplishment. Stephen A, Who's a Democrat, was not happy. Listen to Stephen A.
F
Weighing in it, patience were enough for Swalwell to go after folks on the right. And now he's facing the same situation. You're the Democrats. This is bad. They were right to sit up there and call for him to cancel his campaign for the gubernatorial seat. Is clearly evident that as a married man, he was looking to get his groove on elsewhere. That much is clear. That he put himself in that position to be perceived as that kind of individual.
B
Perceived.
F
There is no way around that. And my disgust as a person that had him on a guest on this, as a guest on this show, is that, bro, you knew what you were doing behind the scenes. Again, I'm not getting into rape, sexual assault allegations. That's extreme. I'm not getting into that. But you knew what was going on behind the scenes in terms of your consensual behavior with other women. Why are you putting yourself front and center when you knew what you were doing?
A
Why?
B
Because I think they're safe. They think they're safe, Jeff. They always do.
A
What's up? They're being protected.
B
Jeff, can you give me a drum roll for the greatest accomplishment that Swalwell has ever had?
A
I got. He should have been done at that point and never.
B
Well, he's right to say, like, if you're. Why would you run for, like, one of the big, like, governor of New York, governor of Florida, governor of California, one of the biggest races ever.
A
Yeah. You ready?
B
Yeah.
A
You're still talking.
B
Sorry, I don't hear it.
A
Oh,
B
is that the drum roll? It sounds like bongos.
A
Oh, it's bongos.
B
That's not the drum roll. You can't. Goes in a symbol.
A
Here we go.
B
There we go. Here it is.
H
Evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. And the complaint that I've heard from Jeff.
B
That might have to be one of our new sound bits. And he claimed that he didn't fart. Somebody was moving a coffee cup across the table.
H
The evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to. To ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election.
B
And even pause for a second while he was ripping it out. And if you move a coffee cup and it makes a little. It doesn't make a fart noise. Okay, I'm pretty sure about that. Just look on his face.
H
That the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. And the complaint that I've heard from
B
the complaint he's heard is you fart all the time.
H
Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help them cheat an election. And the complex that I've heard from
B
the drum rolls makes it funnier. Man. Ready? Let's do it again. One more time.
H
The president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. And the complaint that I've heard from
B
my child is think that might be his. Listen, this has not even been attempted. Jeff.
H
Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat.
A
And there you go. Oh, God.
H
To help him cheat. To help him cheat an election. And the complaint that I've heard from
B
Even give a little pause there while he was ripping it out.
H
Oh, to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election.
A
All right.
B
This has even been attempted yet. Jeff.
A
I thought the drum roll forgot to add it on auto.
B
I'm sorry. We're having. We're having way too much fun. Cheek.
A
They dropped drum on auto.
B
He left the mating call right there.
A
Jim.
B
D. Oh, God. Man. Cheeky. It's fantastic. Right up you can see him lifted up. He did a little one cheek sneak.
A
It could have very well been. Maybe Biden was standing there watching chat.
B
Did you see the other day, Biden was talking, he pulls some random black guy the crowd and he says he looks like Barack and brings him up on stage. What is wrong with that guy?
A
It's embarrassing.
B
I don't even understand it, man. Mark Smithson says I'm going to use that on my zoom call tomorrow morning. Right.
A
Use it.
B
I mean even did the one cheek sneak he little lifted up a bit and paused. God, Eric Swalwell. What a. What a disgusting human. Yeah, and his buddy Gallego is right behind him. Apparently there's somebody coming forth soon about him too. So I don't know how it's gonna. It's gonna all pan out but you know, something interesting has happened with the new president or prime minister, whatever they call in the of. Of Hungary.
A
Jeff, he's not going to be around long.
B
No. It's starting to look very different than what people expected. It's starting to look like something else might have happened. Has the EU he is. Has the EU been royally played Where Trump, Putin, Orban and Peter Magyard outsmarting the Brussels crew. According to Serbian intelligence sources, Orban's defeat isn't one at all. It's a masterstroke. The objective position the former Hungarian prime minister as Trump's Trojan horse. At the helm of the European Commission to oust Ursula von der Leyen. Orban is already a rock solid dossy. Already has a rock solid dossier. The Pfizer affair deleted SMS's 760 million in commissions void her husband massive diversions, cohesive funds, next generation EU structures. He even submitted it to the European Parliament in August. Peter Magar for his point his part who's the new you know the new Prime Minister is ramping up the pressure and end the war block loans harder line than Orban. Brussels celebrates a victory while Budapest prepares a big cleanup. Arrogance always precedes the fall. We'll know enough
A
is is actually in the same party, right? I believe he's in Orban's party.
B
Well he was until 24.
A
Right. So there was more of an internal disagreement on the on orbit being in power too long. I forget if it's like what 16 years. So he said it's too much and you gotta go. He wouldn't go, so he left. So it's not like it's a leftist coming in and kicking him out. The media twisted the whole thing into a whole different outcome which is, you
B
know, he's already said he wants to do something but he says they're not for illegal immigrate, they're not taking immigrants. He leaves and becomes the opposition in 24 right to run against them. Gets funded by anti or bon EU leftists, wins the election, says the border is not strong enough, rejects 90% of EU demands, prioritizes rights for ethnic Hungarians. 5D chess.
A
Brilliant.
B
So, yeah, and then imagine Orban becomes the new von der leyen role of the eu. Oh, God. He'll repeal all this because look what happened in the EU when they started talking about the immigration. You can see the uprisings happening. So it might be. It might just be really good. So as we go to London, UK here. This is funny, Jeff. So the institute of economic affairs asked Brits where the UK ranks versus US States in income per person. The average answer that they gave in Great Britain, the people gave. They said seventh. They said that they were. That Great Britain was wealthier than 43 states. The reality, 51st, dead last, below Mississippi, Arkansas, below every single U. S. State. Dude, this is insane. They thought they were here. They were really down here. Oh, my God. When people find out the truth, the reaction speaks for itself. 27 were shocked. 22 were concerned. 15 were disappointed or embarrassed. 14 were motivated for change. Oh, Whoopi. To do that. Doesn't add up to 100. I'm not a math guy, but 27, 22, 15, and 14 is not 100. The emotional jokes exactly why the data matters. It opens the door to reform.
A
I like that.
B
I guess there's more to it. Only 8% were angry, dude. 12% were like, didn't even give a crap. Most Brits think they're wealthier. Wealthier than the average American. Swiss, Singaporean, and German. They're wrong on every single one. UK is poorer than all of them. And most people had no idea. And then when asked unprompted what the main strengths of the UK economy are, 40% of Brits said there are none.
A
That's funny.
B
55% among those who rate the economy as poor. That is a devastating verdict on 15 years of stagnation.
A
So what do you expect?
B
67% of Brits say the country's headed in the wrong direction.
A
21 say it's the right direction. Are they out of mind? Dude, it's amazing. They're so out of their minds. It's like 21. Yeah, perfect, dude.
B
The best part, I always like the people that are unsure. These are the most worthless people, human beings, in the world. They ought to be Swiss because they never take a side. I don't know. Are you sure? I don't know. You don't know if things are going good or not? Must look at me. I don't know. They never know anything. We're not coasting at the top. We're falling behind. And most of us had no idea. They. Dude, they don't even have an idea how bad they're like, to shape their countries in. By the way, one of my favorite reaction channels, there's two of them. There's a girl from Norway, I think, and all she does is watch videos about foreigners. You know, YouTubers that come in the US and how wrong they are about everything. But there's another one, a guy does, and he has his mom and his sister, and his sister is the dumbest person on the face of the earth. She doesn't know anything. He goes, oh, you know about that? She's like, no, I didn't know about that. Like, how do you not know about it? She doesn't know anything, Jeff. It's the greatest form of entertainment.
A
The guy in the.
B
The UK guy, the English guy, right? He sits on the left and he has a sister and the mom back there, right?
A
He's always. He's been over here. But they're always looking at different things that are in the U.S. yeah.
B
Like the one time, like the video you have to watch is the public's sandwich, where it goes in and gets a pub, and they're like, look at the size of that. Oh, my God. The guy's like eating it and he's like. Because I guess they don't even have sandwiches. I don't know. The Pub Sub. Public Sub. The Pub Sub. Man, it's famous. I love public subs. But I thought that was funny that they were like, look at that. They're just like, she doesn't know what's going on.
A
Any given point in history that are served over here. I. I think most people are shocked when they come here and you go. Go to like a. An American style restaurant and the food that comes out on your plate, it's too much.
B
So it is. That's why we're also fat.
A
Way too much. But people are shocked by it. You don't realize. And for them it's different, you know, so the hamburgers, you know, when they get like the barbecue food, just everything.
B
What's the. What's that big outdoor shop? And Davey there on the side of 95 there, what is that outdoor. What's that place?
A
Are you talking about?
B
No, no, it's outdoor shop. You buy like hunting and fishing and guns. And they got a Blake in there. What the hell is the name of that thing? Outdoor or something?
A
Bass Pro Shop.
B
Bass Pro. So the one guy went into a bass pro and they couldn't believe the size and they were looking at guns. He's like, because they don't know anything about guns. They go like, look, it's a gun and it's $250. I'm like, yeah, it is. That's not a gun I would buy. But, you know. And he goes, look at, all the way up. Look at this gun. It's twelve hundred dollars. The guy goes, you want to see one? He goes, he was all like, oh, I don't know. He goes, you can get a gun for $250. He was like shocked by it. Then there was like a lake in there. There's a bridge that goes over it and there's fishing equipment. They just, they were just like, they were, they were shocked. They went to Texas. They were shocked. This is one of the greatest quotes I've ever seen. This is Jordan Peterson. If you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of. And there you have, there you have the German, the, the French and the UK represented. Wait till you see what weak men are capable of. That's a phenomenal quote. My God, I love that. Look at this. In Germany, Jeff, AfD party taking its largest lead ever in the next national election. It's the only party that supports mass deportations. And the other thing they said is AfD gets in there, they want to leave the EU, which would collapse if Germany leaves. Right. And they want to cut off immigration and they want to deport. See, Trump made it acceptable to be, to do that. They all hate them. But now it's acceptable. Now we can. They would have never taken the step without a Trump. There's no way they would have done it. But Trump, you know, introduces it. Take this one, Jeff. This is, look what's happening in Peru. We just had a right, we just had a right wing guy going in Chile. Now we got Peru, the whole world,
A
you know, I mean, we're starting to see it. Latin America, there was a major shift for a little while. Everyone buying into the leftist ideology, a lot of it backed, you know, through Cuban money and Venezuela. But now, you know, we're starting to see major shifts to the right. Thank God for Bukele and
B
Malay, I
A
don't forgot his name. But years, like again, you know, major shift over in Peru. This is big news. So right wing populist Keiko Fujimari soars in the 2026 Peruvian presidential election. You know, what amazes me is how much Japanese influence there is in Peru scene. It's amazing.
B
They've had Japanese leaders already. Yeah, One of the most popular ones,
A
the Japanese it's impressive. So here, Here you have 64 chance that she's gonna win. That's it. You see Latin America shifting. Make America great again has a direct impact. Trump has had a direct impact on the outcome of elections in South America. And it's because they have a president that is doing exactly what he's saying and he's leading from in front. They're seeing them on a global stage. Reasserting American dominance on a global scale, which had to happen. You can't be America first. That's what all these people don't understand. You can't be American first. If you're going to isolate, if you're going to become an isolationist, that's not America first. It's not even America only. That's just stupid policy because we still have allies, we still have trade, we still need to sell our goods. And in order to do it the right way, we have to take the actions that are being taken right now. Trump's doing the right thing. Reasserting dominance in the Middle east ended the British control of that region. The British, that was like their last bastion. They still had their claws latched on to, to trade over there and to the, to the, the Straits of Hormuz and a few other things. The British have been completely neutered at this point. Kick them out. The US Is dominant. The Middle east, that was also under Obama. We saw Russian dominance starting to increase again, and Russia was pushed back into a corner until Obama came in. All of a sudden, we started to see Russia playing again in the Middle East. He's out. Lots of changes that are happening right now on such a scale that people don't even realize, you know, when, when you start, pull back a little bit, see the plays that are happening. What happened in Venezuela was instrument was critical. What happened over in Iran is critical. You're going to see throughout this next year, all the trade negotiations that are taking place, the amount of money flow that's going to happen, the, the oil trade that's coming back to the U.S. all these things really had to happen. And it's really, really impressive. So that's where Ice1 said, yeah, Lloyd's running, her move's done. The British are completely neutered now. Now they got to go fix their own country. Figure it out, you know, But I'm, I've been. This is, this is what America first is all about. And every country takes note. Peru's taking note. El Salvador took note. Argentina took note. Hungary took note. Countries all around the world are taking Note. And this is. This is what it means. This is amazing. This is exceptionalism. You know, we. We have to leave. From a. From a. From a. From the. From the front. There you go. I just wanted saying let tub in hollandale over there. And it's in like over on Hollywood, right on the intercoastal. That place is crazy. If you go get a burger at
B
the tub, There you go.
A
It's like a tedious place. You walk into, there's a toilet and like artwork and stuff as you walk through and you. It's just like, you know, it's crazy. Like old, never been there. Burgers are the best. Their kitchen is the size of a small bathroom. And it's amazing how they put out food there. Really good burgers. Yeah.
B
The ice wine says ships stacked up on both coasts to buy our oil. They're punishing us. Toilets everywhere. Great gumbo. Look at you. Want to see how you outsmart a leftist? This. This girl's great. She does amazing stuff. But watch this. Look at the look on this guy's face. If you're listening, guys, you're gonna have to imagine it, but here you go.
I
You have borders on this campus?
A
No, we have this space reserved as an official event.
I
Yeah, so you have borders. Where's your borders at?
A
This whole green area right here.
I
So you want to control who comes in and out. Like an ICE agent or a border patrol agent. You wouldn't dare act like a fascist, would you? Beautiful green eyes.
A
Thank you. Yeah, I take pride in my eyes. They are very nice. So I appreciate the compliment.
I
Yeah. So I would. I would really encourage you on a rally on a campus, as an event for sanctuary campuses. You probably shouldn't act like a fascist border patrol agent. You should take down your borders and let whoever wants on the space. Okay. Why is your lip quivering? Because you've been called out on how you're acting exactly like how you don't what you're advocating against. You're acting just like them. So if you believe in illegal aliens allowing to have sanctuary on this campus. Put your money where your mouth is. Leave me alone and let me have sanctuary on this campus. Okay. Thank you for your time. I appreciate it. Green eyes. They just handed you a vest?
A
No, I'm wearing with a responsibility.
I
Okay. What responsibility do you have today? People say keep people safe. Okay, I trust you.
B
Okay. Yeah, sorry about that.
I
You don't want him talking to me, do you? Why can't he talk to me? You don't tell people what to do with their bodies, do You.
D
We don't.
I
We're not doing that today, right? Oh, look at that. Look at that glare. You're bringing that they. Them energy. That's awesome. I'm totally. Wow. I am very, very scared. You are very intimidating. That's very honest. I was wondering if I could leave one of these at your table, actually. This is an illegal alien who murdered a woman. Can you keep that at your table to just show, like, what you guys support? This illegal alien is the one who just bludgeoned a woman to death this month in Florida with a hammer. So you guys think that these guys deserve sanctuary on your campus? No, no. You should leave those there for transparency. You guys support those guys.
A
I love her. She's amazing.
B
She just tears them apart.
A
She tears these people.
B
The guy, he's like, you're like a fascist. He's sitting there. Why is your lip quivering? He's trying to stop his lip from quivering. Here is. I like when. I like when. I like when she said, you got they them energy. Oh, you've unleashed they. Them energy.
A
They are lefties are people. They're extremely, extremely violent. They try to advocate against it, but they're extremely hostile violent because they can't control their emotion. So they're always out of, out of, out of control. You know, their emotional state, their mental state. They're mentally kind of not 100 there. I think that's a big part of it.
J
Policy is they've blamed Trump for absolutely everything we've heard government get up and stand about. Trump. Donald Trump isn't in charge of nora. He's not in charge of the carbon tax in this country. He's not in charge of that in this country. And he's not in charge of excise. What did Sean Canney do? He said, go out and walk or go out and cycle? What did Big Jim, James Bond himself go out and do? He said, we'll turn the army on our own citizens. Which is reminisce of something that you would hear in South America. It is reminisce of a pyramist. And then we have have the man that turned away from the woman in Kentuck not so long ago, but during this election, and we didn't want to hear, and all of a sudden he's gaslighting the country, saying he's concerned. He's concerned about the 900,000 people on waiting lists. All of a sudden, he's concerned about the 60,000 people on housing lists. He's concerned about the 116,000 people that are waiting for HAP. That's what this government is concerned about. You're concerned about nothing, only serving yourselves. And I applaud Deputy Healey Ray, and I say well done to him for having a bit of backbone. And if those that turned up at the protests down in Whitegate or anywhere else in the country in foil and fine Gale that turned up there and said, we're with you lads and we're going to get rid of me hall in a couple of weeks. If he. If any of you have any bit of backbone, join with Healy Ray and. And vote against this government and let's call the election.
A
Thank well. And Conor McGregor also coming after it. Jeff, you're muted. Muted.
B
There's some rumor that there might be the President might be stepping down because of all these protests and pressure. I think that's probably going to happen sooner than people think.
A
Y. I think probably coming best. Ireland's got to turn, Jeff.
B
This happened and I think I want to see somewhere out west. Honestly. It just popped up my feed. How did not anybody talk about this? A guy walks in with a gun into a school, and he gets tackled by the principal. Scott. Principal's not. He's a big dude, right? He's kind of a heavy guy, this guy, and he almost pointed the gun. And watch this. There's no sound on it. Guy comes in from the top left. You see the principal come flying by, tackles the guy. He did get hurt in the. In the whole thing. Then another teacher comes out and they disarm him. I mean, this guy's a hero. And you don't hear a damn word about it.
A
All right, play it. Let's see.
B
Here he is in the top. See in the top corner there, he's got a gun. There he is. Boom. Tackles him. Wow. Grabs his arm, his hand with the gun in it.
A
Yeah, look at that.
B
Gets on top of the dude. He's got his hand on his neck. Got the other teacher rushes out, takes the gun, kicks the gun. Guy drops it. Unbelievable. Jeff, you didn't hear one damn word about this thing.
A
Nothing.
B
Guy grabs the gun. He shoots him six times. No, he didn't do that. And he walked away. He went in another room with the gun and started shooting students. Oh, that's horrible.
A
No, get away.
B
I mean, this is unbelievable, this dude, man. Just look at this again. The guy comes into the top over there. He's looking around. He's got a gun in his hand. He points it at the guy, but he doesn't shoot because the guy hands. I think he was surprised, didn't expect
A
him to rush him like that.
B
You see that? You see that right there. He. But by the time he. Oh, yeah, he's gonna probably have the safety on. He probably, probably didn't anticipate this.
A
Yep. He was already.
B
I mean you. No, right there. He could have shot him right in the head.
A
Yep.
B
But he was coming so fast. Boom. You take the guy down. Not a word, Jeff. Nobody said a word. This freaking hero. Rest his life. This. Listen to what this guy says about New York. It's a little bit low. Sorry about that. It's happened.
G
Is this part of the country is going to go completely Marxist communist? That's why the New York Stock Exchange is moving to Dallas, Texas.
B
Did you know the New York Stock Exchange is moving to Dallas, Jeff? Did you know that the financial centers will be split between Florida and. And Texas?
A
That's it. New York's gonna be done empty.
B
This guy says everything in the financial
G
world, which I consult to. We're moving everything down to Texas and Florida. We're done with New York. There will be no entry level jobs for college students this year.
A
Not in New York.
B
Nope. This is going to go Marxist communist. His prediction is two years, New York will look like Detroit.
G
Have you been to Detroit?
B
Have you been to Detroit lately? Guys like. No, that have been.
A
And it's very, very rough. Very well.
G
Detroit used to be the auto industry.
B
It used to be the auto industry.
G
It's a vibrant, thriving city. Anyone could move there and become middle class very quickly. Regardless of what you think, get a good job, become part of the middle class. Now you go to Detroit, there's nothing. The auto industry, Wall street and finance is being sucked out of New York City right now.
A
Detroit, New York is going to suffer.
G
They're in Palm Beach, We've left.
A
That's it.
G
I'm the 1%, okay? I'm the 85, 000 people that pay all the taxes in New York.
B
Well, but this is the plan by Mandami. He wants to turn in the third world. He knows the business are gonna leave. He knows the place is going to close up. He knows the real estate's going to start falling. All the Muslims move in. The Islamists move in, buy it all up. They kick the Jews out. And then you know what they do? They run a hole and they dominate New York and they're going to tax all the rich people to attack the white people. The fact that he even got out there and said, well, this is. I'm not picking any one group of people but white People have more money, so we're going to tax them. I'm like, what? Sure. I'm sure that that's, that's constitutional as well. It's just insane.
A
Jeff, hear about, you hear about the grocery store, the New York government controlled grocery store. That mom dummy is going to roll out $30 million. They're gonna have one per burrow. So they're opening up. What would that be? A total of five grocery stores. 30. It's supposed to be free. They're gonna open the first one in 29.
B
Oh, convenient.
A
It's gonna take them three years to build it. So right as he's probably getting ready, you know, to run for re election, they're going to open it. So they're going to have the, the brand new, this brand new grocery store. Nothing's free, so it's not going to be free. Certain goods will be at a reduced price. Most of the goods will be. It's a whole scam and it's going to be government run. It's such a scam. It's insane. Yeah, not free wholesale set and only some of the products at wholesale. So. And most of the products will be the same price, if not more, but $30 million. And they can't open the first one for three years.
B
Well, they can't open it period. Because if he's. Until after, if he runs for election, reelection and wins, then they open it. They open it before it fails. And then this Pope. How about this Pope was a complete nut job. So Jeff, when Muslims destroyed Europe sleeping. When Muslims slaughter Christians in Africa, nothing. When Muslims burn churches worldwide. When America bombs Muslim countries.
A
That's exactly right.
B
And then he's got. One of the, one of the bishops in Africa is like, what do you mean? He said the Pope. He's like, no, no, it's very dangerous. They're killing us. They're extreme us. And then they headed a moment, come up, put out a mess. I don't want to play because it's annoying, but he came out today and said they're, they, they, they're gonna pay a pretty solid amount of money for anyone that takes out a bishop or any clergy, higher pastors, because they're paying a higher rate to kill them. They'll basically have bounties in their head. And you got this disastrous, shitty piece of crap Pope going out there and, and, and, and visiting mosques and putting a, a prayer, a Muslim prayer room at the Vatican. The hell's wrong with this guy? This guy is like, you want to talk about false prophets he's the false prophet. Yep. Piece of.
A
Is the coddle up with the. With the. The Muslims and bring them into the Vatican.
B
Jeff, do you think we can get his brother on the show? Remember, his brother came out and he was a right winger. Trumper. Trumper. He loves Trump. Remember he. And then they shut him up real fast. He did a couple interviews where he was talking about Pelosi, and he's. He's a hardcore Trump supporter. He lives in Florida. They buried him. I don't even hear about him anymore.
A
Well, I wonder what his name was.
B
I think his name is Pope's brother. Commie scam. Crypto tales in. So that's what. We're in Nigeria.
A
So he has two brothers, Lewis and John Previs.
B
I think it was John. It's like 57 or something like that. 56. 57 years old. You can look up interviews about them. They're great. Like, for. For when he was first.
A
You know, it's probably Lewis. Lewis Previs, the eldest brother, a Navy veteran living in Port Charlotte, Florida.
B
That's the one. Lewis. Find an interview on him, Jeff. I mean, you got to see these interviews. Like, this is the Pope's brother. Yeah, I think they're right. I think they, like, gave him a bunch of money and said, keep your mouth shut up and sign this NDA and you'll live a good long life. We can't afford you. Meanwhile, David Axelrod, that was Obama's little. Little henchman. He went over there, and all of a sudden he's talking about Trump and the. Meanwhile, the Vatican's got the. You were there, Jeff. It's got the tallest wall you can ever. To keep out invaders. It was to keep out the Muslim. The Islamist invaders. Yep. People, does this guy not know what the Crusades are all about? Look at Egypt, man. It was 99 Christian. Now it's only. Now it's 90 Muslim. Rape, pillage. He's always thought the Vikings always got a bad name. The Vikings are always the most cruel people. It turns out it wasn't just the Vikings.
A
No. But look what's happening in Nigeria. Yeah. The world is silent over what's going on over there.
B
What's his last name? Louis What?
A
Previs.
B
Previs.
A
B R E V O S T. Provost. Provost. But I did a search and I'm not finding much.
B
They scrubbed them off the Internet. Oh, here it is.
A
No, he's there, but it's all about his thoughts on the. On the Pope. Unless you found something. Oh, here's one right here. Pope Leo's brother. Right wing politics, edgy, social. That was May 14th of 2025. That was an article? Yeah.
B
This guy's such a down to earth dude.
A
Hope's brother scorches trans people. Social media.
B
See if we can find something on this guy.
A
A little bit of an article, but there's not much in here. It was on Piers Morgan. He said, whatever. He posted something about Pelosi. He was on Piers Morgan. He said, well, I posted it, and I wouldn't have posted if I didn't kind of believe it.
B
They got to have him out there more. He's got to be. They must have paid him off, man. He's been erased. Basically. You don't even see him anymore. Freaking gonzo, man.
A
I wonder if there's anything on YouTube with him.
B
I was just looking on YouTube. I couldn't find a ton of stuff on him. Those Provost, right wing, Anti democratic, anti trans Facebook posts. Join cnn.
A
See, could be very interesting. All right, we gotta move on. It is.
B
That's it. That's all we got, Jeff. We're done. Ready to go. That's it. We're out. Yep.
A
And with the. Maybe we'll find some information from Provost.
B
Let's get him on the show. See him come on here. Talk bad about us. Dumbass brother.
A
I don't think he will. He's. Well, in the interviews, he said he thinks he's the right man for the job.
B
Yeah, he's got a knife in his back, Jeff. Of course he says that.
A
Like Billy Carter and Bubba Clinton.
B
Yeah, that's right. Meanwhile, you got. The Trump kids are all, like, respectable,
A
every one of them.
B
It's amazing what an embarrassment he was. Geez.
A
What is. What is this Trump video you have put up here?
B
Oh, this is just a small video right here.
A
This is.
B
This is five seconds of Trump in the courtroom. Mr. Trump, why are you cooking in my courtroom?
C
Because court takes forever and I'm hungry. These are tremendous nachos.
A
Look at that cheese.
B
You want a bite? I'll allow it.
C
Hand him over.
J
Wait,
B
Judge Judy's courtroom. He's making nachos. Mr. Trump, why are you cooking in my courtroom?
C
Because court takes forever and I'm hungry. These are tremendous nachos.
A
Look at that cheese.
B
Beautiful bite. I'll allow it.
C
Hand him over.
A
Wait, that's Sora. People are great.
B
You gotta love it, man. You got this stuff gone.
A
Sora is no more.

On The Chain – Blockchain and Cryptocurrency News + Opinion
Hosts: Jeff ("A") & Chip ("B")
Date: April 16, 2026
This episode centers on a transformative period for XRP and digital assets. Anchored by real-world developments in Asia and the Middle East, Jeff and Chip connect headlines into a coherent, global pattern: XRP is rapidly shifting from being seen merely as a speculative trade to operating as genuine financial infrastructure. The hosts discuss decentralized governance, institutional adoption, tokenization of assets (like government bonds in Korea), and growing momentum across global markets, emphasizing that the digital asset sector—particularly XRP and its ledger (XRPL)—has entered a stage of real-world, institutional utility.
DAOs In Practice: The hosts detail the first week of decentralized governance via the ZaoDAO on the XRPL, with over 1200 members and community-driven proposals ([01:44–05:46]).
Voting Challenges: Lack of quorum blocks proposals; discussion of potential for delegated (proxy) voting.
Quote – Chip, [05:09]:
“50% of people vote. You'll never reach quorum and then you never pass anything.”
Takeaway: DAOs are building real engagement and could, in the future, even replace some forms of traditional political voting.
XRPL Community Magazine ([15:00–16:53]):
Innovation Initiatives:
The second half of the episode shifts into rapid-fire commentary on global politics, US election news, and cultural moments, often blending humor and sharp critique:
Jeff [00:01]:
“Most people still think XRP is still a trade. What if that's already wrong? ...This really isn't speculation anymore. ...It's already happening.”
Chip [05:09]:
“50% of people vote. You'll never reach quorum and then you never pass anything.”
Jeff [07:40]:
“Kyobo Life choosing Ripple custody to support on-chain settlement reflects where the market is heading... Proud to partner on Korea's first tokenized government bond settlement. That's real world.”
Jeff [19:22]:
“They are looking for pain points in payments... There's a problem in the payment and credit space... There's somebody out there that is going to do something so impressive… it'll be a game changer.”
Chip [22:23]:
“So you get right there, you never even leave X. You can see exactly what's going on.”
Jeff [38:49]:
“Major red shift… coming out in polling, it’s coming out in voter registration… as they clean up the voter rolls, they’re seeing more and more shift towards Republican red.”
Jeff [62:05]:
“Make America great again has a direct impact… Trump has had a direct impact on the outcome of elections in South America… This is exceptionalism.”
Consensus:
• XRP is quickly maturing from a speculative asset to a critical layer of global financial infrastructure, evidenced by live institutional deployments.
• Adoption is accelerating in Asia and the Middle East, regions less encumbered by regulatory inertia than the US and Europe.
• Decentralized governance (DAOs) and community engagement are proving ground for future financial and political systems.
• Broader global and US political commentary contextualizes the technological changes as part of a wider populist and decentralization trend.
• The "mainstreaming" of digital assets is here—not hype, but fact.
The show blends high-level financial analysis with sharp, often humorous social and political commentary, maintaining an engaging and conversational tone throughout.
