Chip, hey, have you ever walked into a movie halfway through the movie and realize everybody else knows what's going on except for you? I think that's exactly where XRP is right now. Half the market still watching the first movie. You know what they're asking is Rebel, but replacing Swift. Chip, I'm so sick of hearing about Swift. When's the next bank announcement? When's XRP gonna move? And don't get me wrong about this one. Those were actually the right questions a couple years ago.
Chip
Yeah, and the DTCC paranoia, like pandemonium, is borderline mental illness at this point. Dtcc, dtc. I'm like, do you guys have any sort of reasoning power at all? Do you have any sort of. Can you actually pay attention and read things? And then I was accused by somebody in the community today, Jeff, of being disgruntled. And am I. Am I still an XRP? Well, you can catch our podcast right here, three days a week, live at 8:00pm on Sunday and Wednesday at 8:00am so, of course, Jeff, exactly what I'm thinking. Because if all you did was follow XRP's price, which is what all these nutters do, they stare 20, 17 hours and then they figure out it's gonna moon $300,000 tomorrow. And one headline every now and then, you think, well, not much has changed. And then you start paying attention. But then Ripple stories, it keeps getting bigger, especially with the acquisitions. Look what happened just this week. Ripple joins the X402 foundation to help shape the AI payments. Ripple Ventures. It goes ahead and invests in the infrastructure behind the stablecoin Commerce. And then Ripple says traditional finance isn't being replaced. And it never was, Jeff. The conversation was never. Ripple is going to replace Swift. Ripple is going to make it so you don't need Swift. But people can't figure that one out either. It's being real. Be being rebuilt on blockchain rails. Guess what? You know that little clarity truck that drives around Washington, D.C. the ripple clarity truck. It's back. We got video, got a new crew. And then swell. Swell's getting bigger. Some cool people there. Matt Damon's gonna be there this year. What's he going to talk about? Blockchain? No, he's gonna talk about water. That's a whole other story. None of these stories are really about price, Jeff. When you look at it, they're about positioning.
Jeff
That's right. And that's actually what people miss. Every one of those headlines looks completely unrelated. And we cover this all the time. We say it every time. And eventually it's going to catch on and everyone's going to be talking about, hey, you know what? All these headlines, they look unrelated, but you know what? AI Stable Coins policy infrastructure. And when you connect the dots, because you know what we do on this show? We connect. We connect dots. They all point in exactly the same direction. That's right. Ripple isn't just expanding XRP's use case, it's expanding the entire ecosystem around it. So when there's good news, it's not about xrp, it's about the entire ecosystem.
Chip
Yeah. And that's why tonight's title, if you guys look at the title of the thumbnail, XRP got even bigger. Not because something happened overnight, but because when you zoom out, you realize Ripple's already moved into the next chapter while a lot of people are still talking about the last one. You ready to get this puppy kicked off here, Jeff?
Jeff
Let's go.
Chip
Let's go. Welcome to on the Chain.
Jeff
And you know what? The best news of the day, Ali G is back. Ali G. Over in the uk, Baron Cohen as Ali G. He was at Wimbledon and it was pretty funny. Everyone, welcome back to on the Chain. I'm Jeff here with co host Chip. What's going on? Chip, what's going on? Otc. Great to see everybody here tonight. Now, if you're brand new to the channel, well, welcome aboard if you've been with us for a few years. Well, you know, we don't just cover headlines, we connect all the dots behind what's really happening. And tonight is actually one of those nights.
Chip
Yeah. And every story we're covering could easily potentially stand on its own. But again, we're kind of assembling them, we're workshopping, and we're putting them together. And then you start seeing this sort of different shape to emerge. And then it's really nice to look at Jeff.
Jeff
Like, I don't know what the shape is zigzagging around tonight really is. It's not really about AI. Is is not really about stablecoins. It's not even about regulation. It's actually about Ripple quietly expanding the role of XRP into places that weren't even part of the original conversation. And I think that's why so many people actually miss the bigger picture. That's why they're so heavily focused on price action, price action and more price action. So let's start with ripple joining the X402 foundation, because I think this may be one of the most important Ripple announcements of the week. I really do.
Chip
I Think it's a big one, Jeff. And you know what's funny is I'm looking for it and I can't find it.
Jeff
I don't even have it posted. So we're gonna skip that one.
Chip
What we'll do is we'll come back to it. Jeff. That's come back to it.
Jeff
Maybe at the end of the show.
Chip
Usually it's queued up as the first one. I'm like, well, it's weird. I'm like, it's kind of weird. It's not exactly 100% there. But that's all right. We'll come back to it. Because I had a different one at least. Ready to get started here. Hang on a second, let me just do this real quick. Let me do a little quick searchy poo. And here it is. Bam. Okay, I found it. Here it is. It wasn't too far away. You thought it was far away, Jeff, but it wasn't.
Jeff
Give a quick shout out where you're tuning in from. Got Chad coming in from Celebrate Good Times. That's right. Walt Disney World. Got people coming in from all over. Ray the Musk from New Zealand. So now we just covered two continents. There you go.
Chip
How many Ripple proud to join where she lives?
Jeff
Too embarrassed.
Chip
And who are they? The premier members. As AI agents begin to take on more of the transaction cycle, man, they gotta dominate it. They need a way to pay that as fast and reliable as the way they already exchange data. So we've been helping build that future on the XRP ledger with the tools infrastructure developers need to enable agentic payments. What is an agentic payment? It happens without you.
Jeff
That's right. You don't need you you out of payment payment.
Chip
But you think it's gonna be kind of dangerous. But it's actually pretty cool. Including support for X402 which enables agents to transact using XRP and RL USD today. So we're looking forward to contributing to the foundation's technical and governance work. As we advanced open standards for the next generation of Internet. Nate kind of piggybacked off the Linux foundation which was talking about AI agents need a native way to pay. Right? So that was it right there. Linux has been around for a long time. There's some people that are like die hard in Linux. They're like, I only Linux
Jeff
Linux once. It didn't go over well.
Chip
Well, Jeff, Linux, well, it was an offshoot of loot of Unix. You know, I used Unix back in the 90s. You know, members still remember some of the commands and, and then Linux was the foundation split off. That the reason a lot of coders started using Max because they weren't. They were all PC based. Had to do with, you know, the Unix base that the course that app was, was based on. So that was a lot of it. And of course Jazzy Cooper. I'm like, if she's gonna be Jazzy Cooper, I'm gonna be Badass Chip. I mean like you can be Jazzy and I'll be badass. How's that something?
Jeff
I'll be Jazzy.
Chip
Jazzy. Jazzy Jeff. Jazzy Cooper. She says most of the agencic payments conversation is still about what agents can do. The harder problem is how they pay for it. Yeah, you can have them do all kinds of stuff, but if they can't pay for you, screw the money. On XRPL, that's already solved. 3 to 5 second deterministic finality. No gas action auctions. Big one. No ambiguous pending states. Big one. An agent doesn't need retry logic or polling loops. It just proceeds at the moment of a transaction confirms. And that's the difference between infrastructure built for humans clicking approve approve approve. And then the infrastructure that's built for machines making decisions in milliseconds.
Jeff
Milliseconds.
Chip
This is way more impressive of an introduction than this. Of course this is just dry because it's Ripple talking about it. But. But this gives some of the stuff that makes it impactful which is the three to five second finality. No gas. You know, no ambiguous pending states. Agent doesn't retry logic. No polling loops. Like that's huge right there. I think that's what makes it more deterministic. Deterministic finality right there, Jeff. That's something that word.
Jeff
I like that word.
Chip
Write a whole song around deterministic final. Who is.
Jeff
Who is Jazzy?
Chip
Jazzy's. She's the. She's the head of product over at Ripple X. Huh.
Jeff
There you go. That's who Jazzy.
Chip
I try to get her on the show. Yes. We've not been not successful getting people from Ripple, but hey, Hugo came on and Congress has been on Byron Donalds. Who's the. Who's going to be the future governor of the state of Florida will be here and maybe a future president one day. Come on, we've done great things. We. Why. Why can't we get. Why can't we get big baller ripples on here?
Jeff
I don't know.
Chip
I see why we're kidding. I'm gonna have to see if we get Jazzy Cooper on her talk about Jazzy. So we're talking about, see if they want to talk about like xrpl. Hell no, we're not talking about that. Talk about a lot of other stuff. Jeff, I saw this. Jeff, you know how like in the past we may have thrown some shade at Ripple because they've supported projects that were, you know, a little bit left, left of center. Well this one, I'm very, very happy to say this one is right up our alley. This one here. Ripple proud to announce 25 recipients of the Ripple Effect. What is that? That's Certified veteran employer grants. 250,000 invested in veteran and military spouse owned businesses through our sponsorship with Higher Heroes usa. Let's go ahead and do it. Let's applaud Ripple for making a good, an awesome choice here. Each recipient receives $10,000 plus employer training plus access to access to 20,000 military connected job seekers. And then they got the awardees. And then of course it was funny because Higher Heroes wrote through the Ripple Effects Certified Veteran Employer Grants program powered by ripple. 25 veterans or military spouse on business have been chosen. And these are some of the people here that have been chosen. It's pretty cool.
Jeff
We have been chosen, chosen.
Chip
These are the businesses and the chosen people. So there you go. General Informatics, Emerald Technical Solution Cleaner. Veteran owned wellness company that produces natural personal care products made with organic ingredients cleaner. I like that logo. And Arrowhead Airborne Outfitters, DBA Crow Defense Credible staffing, Blue Iris Tech Organized queue transport, logistics, you know, all kinds of cool stuff pack grooming in here. Great stuff. All either either the military owner spouse of military owned. And this is a great program. I'd like to see more of this. This is doing good stuff out there, Jeff. Yeah. Kudos to Ripple for, for putting this Nacho chip.
Jeff
By the way.
Chip
What's up?
Jeff
Chris is going to call you Nacho Chip.
Chip
Nacho Chip. That's fine. Yeah, I like that. It's even better. It's got. You gotta, I think you gotta jazz it up a little bit. Like you could be DJ Jazzy Jeff. Oh wait, there's already one of those. And then look at this Jeff. Another big thing. See like there's so much going on with Ripple. Like you could miss a headline like this. Don't worry, we won't miss it. But you somebody could. Velocity posted today. We're excited to Share the Velocity raised 38 million Series A round was led by Dragonfly First Mark Cap with participation from Activen Capital, QED Investors, Capital One Ventures, Ripple Ventures Coinbase Ventures, Winter Mute Ventures and other existing investors. This funding will accelerate our mission to the be the back office layer for global commerce, enabling companies to move, manage and deploy stable coin balances across markets. And I have a feeling to probably be using the XRPL to facilitate that. Just a wild guess, but it makes a lot of sense. Huge thank you to our customers, partners, team for believing what we're building. We're just getting started. It's right there. You know their video, you don't need to listen to sound.
Jeff
No, we don't want. Whose video is that?
Chip
This is Velocity's video right here. Kind of takes us through time. The Moon, Baseball, Mickey Mantle. Every generation moves faster than the one before it. Some dude surfing, some dude running F1.
Jeff
I have sound effects for it.
Chip
Gymnastics. You got.
Jeff
Start it over again.
Chip
Okay, go ahead. Speed is nice.
Jeff
Certainty is better on the XRP ledger. Deterministic finality means when a transaction settles, it's done.
Chip
No waiting for six confirmations.
Jeff
No wondering if it'll reverse.
Chip
Final means final. Yeah.
Jeff
The kind of certainty banks, institutions, and global payments actually need.
Chip
We got to re. Can we recook it with this? Sja? Speed is nice.
Jeff
How do you like that?
Chip
That worked out perfect, man.
Jeff
I liked it up perfectly.
Chip
Let's try that again. I'm going to cue it from the beginning as soon as I hear the music, so I think it was perfect. I think I started a little bit too early, though. Go ahead, cue the music. I'll click it when I hear it.
Jeff
Certainty is better on the XRP ledger. Deterministic finality means when a transaction settles, it's done.
Chip
No waiting for six confirmations.
Jeff
No wondering if it'll reverse.
Chip
Final means final.
Jeff
That's the kind of certainty banks, institutions, and global payments actually need. Damn.
Chip
It's right on.
Jeff
That was awesome.
Chip
I love it. That was cool.
Jeff
We just made up that.
Chip
It's so much. It's so much better than the one they have here. Jeff,
Jeff
that was spot on.
Chip
No, unfortunately, playing in my ear. I had to turn the sound off here, click the mute button. But that's okay. That's all right.
Jeff
So much.
Chip
And then. So it's funny because a lot of people picked up on this. The block talked about it. The Velocity, you know, raised 38 million. And then you have here. If we come up here, we go to Velocity. Geez, they don't even.
Jeff
19.
Chip
Look at that. Look at that logo, Jeff.
Jeff
Logo. Look at no header. What's going on?
Chip
No head. Barely a logo.
Jeff
They deliver CFO 480 followers they're out of London. London, Canada or London, England. Where are these guys?
Chip
You know what's funny? They don't even have their URL in here either.
Jeff
Nothing.
Chip
I'm thinking it's Velocity.
Jeff
One year following these.
Chip
What do you think? Velocity xyz.
Jeff
Velocity xyz. Velocity xyz.
Chip
That's what I'm thinking. Must be. Is it? There it is.
Jeff
No, no, no.
Chip
Rewire for Velocity. Velocity. We're gonna move it. Velocity. Moving money like it's 1995.
Jeff
What?
Chip
I'll stop moving money like it's 1995. Speed is nice. Certainty is better on the XRP. Deterministic finality means when a transaction settles, it's done.
Jeff
No waiting for six confirmations. No wondering if it'll reverse.
Chip
Final means final.
Jeff
That's the kind of certainty banks, institutions and global payments actually need. Velocity, we just wrote.
Chip
How about that?
Jeff
Now we need. Hey, we just sent you guys a. Wrote you guys a commercial.
Chip
Yeah, we get the better song, okay? And we didn't. We did it during the show, by the way. Here we go. Look at this. Now, Jeff, I had some fun with this. I. I bet you. I. I'm looking forward to meeting Jenny Just. Her last name is spelled J U S T because I think you could do a lot with this. But she's the managing partner of Peak Six Investment. She's taken the stage at Swell 2026. If I go up to her, I'm already gonna. She's probably heard it all because I've heard it all. Having a lot. You know my name, Chip. I've heard it all. But there she is. This is Jenny just. Jenny just took the stage. Get it? She just took the stage.
Jeff
Velocity.
Chip
Jenny just.
Jeff
Jenny just.
Chip
Jenny just did this. He just did that.
Jeff
Jenny. Jenny just.
Chip
Jenny just left the stage. What's her last name? No, Jenny just. She just did What? No, her name is Jenny just. She. But what. What did she just do? You know, it's like, hey, Jenny just. And she's like, oh, God. Roll her eyes. She probably heard this a million times. But anyway, she's taking the stage. Matt Damon's going to be taking the stage.
Jeff
Matt Damon is. Jenny.
Chip
Just imagine that. Jenny just. What's going on? Jenny just. And then we have this one, this short here. This is JIO from. From. From Ripple X.
Jeff
Finance is being re architected with blockchains. The on chain economy is like opening this door to what value could mean and how value can move.
Chip
Finance. Rpl, baby. And here we go. Here we go. Let's look at the Ripple Clarity Mobile. I love this thing. There it is. On the road to clarity. And it's zooming around, Jeff.
Jeff
Oh, the clear vehicle. Yes.
Chip
Zooming around. And there it is.
Jeff
They need to have someone sitting at a desk.
Chip
Clarity.
Jeff
That'd be awesome.
Chip
Look at that. Look at the Ripple uniforms there, Jeff. How about that?
Jeff
It's awesome.
Chip
Ripple. They did this truck. They made it glass so it's clear. It's a really cool promotional style. Then we have. This was interesting. I thought this was good. This is Jennifer Believe. You got Jenny just. And Lauren Believe. What do they believe from Chris after that? It's really Lauren Believe. But it's. I want to say believe anyway. She's the co. She's the co Head of public policy and government over there at Ripple. But she didn't know that.
Jeff
I had no idea. All these people are coming out of the woodworks, right?
Chip
Yeah. So she's. I want to call her Believe. It's Believe. It looks like Believe or believe. I don't know how you say it. There it is, Lauren. Believe. Okay.
Jeff
Belief.
Chip
Yeah, Believe.
Jeff
Actually, it's missing letter.
Chip
That's Bolivia. I like Believe. It was color. Believe, Lauren. Please believe. Okay, so voting on no Clarity act isn't being against the crypto industry. It's anti consumer. It's a vote to leave cons crypto holders exposed to bad actors playing regulatory arbitrage. The bipartisan Clarity act, loosely bipartisan, now advancing towards a vote in the Senate floor. And it's a vote, by the way. It was passed out of the House a year ago. Okay. Just saying. She goes on to say that U.S. digital asset markets are here, but the federal rules that protect consumers have not kept up. And the same regulatory gaps that led bad actors like FTX collapse and wipeout customer funds are still wide open today. And today consumers are left guessing what protections apply, which regulator is responsible, and what standards companies must meet in the Clarity Act. But basically fix all that. So given the cft, CC and the SEC clear shared jurisdiction over digital asset markets and requiring real regulatory oversight before tokens even hit the market. And good actors will always do the right thing. Bad. But some consumers deserve a level playing field. That's the choice in front of Congress right now. You put clear guardrails in place for everyone or you leave the consumers exposed, the bad actors exploiting the gaps. You can't credibly call yourself pro regulation and then vote no on the bill built to actually create regulation. So at some point, opposing Clarity is just a vote to preserve the status Quo. And the status quo is what's failed consumers in the past. There you have it.
Jeff
There you go. There you go.
Chip
Who chimed in on that? Stu Alderotti did, from Ripple. Another Rippler. He said, a vote against clarity is a vote to lead the same under regulated conditions in place to be exploited by those bad actors. We've seen this movie. Let's not watch the sequel.
Jeff
That's not.
Chip
Yet we know how that movie ends. It did not end well. I mean, well, there was victory, but there's a lot going on. I am getting sick and tired. I'm not picking on moonpay here, but this whole crypto Twitter stuff, what does that mean?
Jeff
What. Why is crypto Twitter back has crypto. Where did it go?
Chip
It said crypto Officially rebranded X in July of 23, three years ago. Apparently crypto's moving so fast, we've gone backward in time.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Chip
Crypto X this people calling it Twitter. Three years. That's what. And Jeff, you brought it up at the beginning. The. This is why people are still talking about replacing Swift. That's like a narrative from like eight years ago, right? That someone. And they're still talking about it. Like this is what happens. Like talking about. Can't sh the narratives.
Jeff
No.
Chip
And someone's like, I call it crypto Twitter. I'm like, well, good luck.
Jeff
It's called X, called Crypto X. And there's no. Why is it back? There's no. It's not back. Hasn't gone anywhere.
Chip
You know what happened? Well, you know what happened, Jeff? They fixed the algorithm. I've had more engagement in the last two days than I've had in the last two months. Oh, yeah, I put something. I got. I got people inter gagement like, they. They fixed it. So the people that you follow and used to have engagement with are back. People I thought just left X.
Jeff
A lot of people. Yeah.
Chip
Just move on and all of a sudden they're back. So, like, engaging, hard to find stuff.
Jeff
It's hard to find stuff on X.
Chip
No, it's not.
Jeff
Not.
Chip
You don't know how to use X. I'm the master decks. I've got my list. I've got everything sorted. I get everything. I want attention people of X. By the way, I wrote this. Twitter officially rebranded X in July. Stop calling a crypto Twitter. What's next? We all go to log back into MySpace.
Jeff
Yeah. Careful in MySpace back.
Chip
Be careful.
Jeff
It's still around.
Chip
Yeah.
Jeff
Did they ever end it? Did MySpace actually end or someone.
Chip
87 he said Cooper dog dad and I are still active on MySpace.
Jeff
Oh, it's still around. It's legitimately still around.
Chip
Elon should rename it to X. Twitter. It's factually correct and it shares the name. People say. Anyway, no, he changed it to X. He bought it for 38 million and I did. This looks old to me. They. I think they're a bit slow. They love to hold on to old narratives. That's what I said there.
Jeff
Yes, this has to be like old MySpace.
Chip
But look at, look at the engagement. I would never had this three days ago. It's like those not wanting to learn self custody their crypto or hold on their own keys world be free. Said, hey, I missed MySpace. Yeah, I said you also miss Hotmail, Blockbuster, AOL and floppy disks. Remember that dude MySpace guy? What was his name?
Jeff
I don't know, but we're bringing it back. Everyone log into my space?
Chip
Not really, but I do miss some Tom. That was Tom. His name is Tom. Hey, I'm Tom. X has a great right ring to it, is what I meant to say.
Jeff
The best, the best music videos of 2025. Look at this. People are actually still using MySpace.
Chip
Yeah, it's still, it's music.
Jeff
I see that.
Chip
Look at this right here. So Cooper dog's dad said I can confirm and there it is. See? No, you're gay. This user is online. So you see you still have. Yeah, I use Hotmail every day. Impressive.
Jeff
Okay, I do see people's email address with Hotmail.
Chip
Yeah, there's like a hierarchy. Like you can tell how old somebody is because like if they got a Yahoo address, then a Hotmail address, then a Gmail address, at least they're okay. Like if you got a Gmail address, you're cool. That's like everyone has a Gmail address. Gmail, you have a proton.
Jeff
What was not. What was around the time of aol. It's another, another one of the, the dial in servers.
Chip
Earthlink.
Jeff
Earthlink.
Chip
Earthlink. Remember I had Earthlink. People don't believe me, but I've had, I've had fast dial up since 97. Somebody asked me for a check again the other day. I said, hey, don't take it this, don't be offended when I tell you this, but I stopped, I stopped ordering checks in 1997. You know why there's this new thing called the Internet. Make all my payments electronically on the Internet. Guy looked at me like this.
Jeff
Does that mean check out Visual Vendetta. I remember a time when I had to wait 24 hours for a BTC confirmation. 24 hours, if we're lucky.
Chip
Yeah, you were lucky.
Jeff
Like, 40, 72 hours. You're waiting like, oh, my God.
Chip
You saw the transaction started, but it never finished. Yeah.
Jeff
Terrifying days. So, Chris had this question. I was wondering if you guys think that government payments like IRS refunds, unemployment, or public assistant, like snap, will be paid. I think it would help eliminate fraud. And thoughts, probably. Meaning, would it be paid through. Through what, like blockchain? Yes.
Chip
Yeah, I definitely think that. I mean, there's no controls on any of this stuff, man. It's just like. It's just like a wild west. When a guy like Nick Shirley, who's 23 years old, can find a hundred million dollars in fraud, and he goes and looks under something else, there's another hundred million dollars and a couple hundred million dollars. The one person he exposed in that famous video at the luring center, she just went to jail. First learning center for busting a couple. It's insane. You really have to wonder, Jeff. You really have. It really makes you wonder.
Jeff
You got to sign up with Twitter. No joke. Yep.
Chip
You mean Twitter? Jeff, you're never gonna believe it. Number one, Joe Biden is still alive and he's making videos. Jeff, you're never gonna believe this, but he wrote a book. Sure.
Jeff
Look, look,
Chip
MySpace is a music. It's a music channel now. It's all music.
Jeff
I know, but you gotta sign it up with Twitter or Facebook.
Chip
See, three years ago. Oops. Is it might not be active. I guess they haven't changed. The still has the Twitter bird from three years ago. Ruh row.
Jeff
Oops. No. They told us, wait your turn. Trust the system, pay the fees. Yeah.
Chip
Watch this, Jeff. Here we go. Since I left the presidency, I've had a lot of people ask me, joe,
Jeff
what you been doing?
Chip
The speeches guy, what have you been doing? No one's asking him. Nobody cares. I'll be honest with you. Nobody's asking. Nobody cares. What are you. Joe, what. Joe, what are you doing? This guy over here. Since I left the presidency, I've had a lot of people ask me, joe, what have you been doing?
Jeff
Bring money. I've been spending a lot of time with my family.
Chip
I'm dealing with a cancer diagnosis, and I've been getting treatment, and it's been going really well. I want to thank all those who offer their prayers, their support, and well wishes. It's meant the world to me and to Jill. I've written a book about my time as president. It's called Promise me America.
Jeff
It's coming out in November.
Chip
It's available for pre order now.
Jeff
Risky.
Chip
It's about the challenge we face as a nation. Is it risky about the decisions I
Jeff
made
Chip
and why I made them?
Jeff
Leading the country through Covid, rebuilding our
Chip
economy and restoring our democracy after the attack on January 6th.
Jeff
Any donations?
Chip
Longest war in Afghanistan, strengthening NATO and supporting Ukraine.
Jeff
It's better end with a joke about
Chip
why I chose to run for re election and why I chose to step aside Holy like let's not do that. That's a bad idea.
Jeff
America
Chip
promise we made to those of
Jeff
you gone before to honor their sacrifice.
Chip
I don't know what this is. I can't watch.
Jeff
This is so bad.
Chip
I can't watch.
Jeff
All made up they're trying to trying to put his give him some sort of a legacy. He has zero legacy by the way
Chip
Spencer pro like fire dude. He goes this Spencer Pratt said this guy couldn't even sign his own name. He's not writing books. Laughing my ass off. He goes politicians write books to launder money. Nobody wants to read this but the corrupt NGOS he provided for as President will buy up to 100,000 copies, burn them and then hold hold up their end of the bribe. Yeah, that's how you do it. You want you write a book, they get Mr. Mysteriously all bought up. You're on the New York Times bestseller list number one position for four weeks and then you go to Costco and the tallest book stack is this book. There's like three of them. There's three stacks of them. And you've seen them right Jeff? They're always the political book stacked mile high.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
The other books are selling and then and then like they sell them for 60 off and they're still sitting there and nobody wants
Jeff
was definitely the guinea pig James was saying hey guys. James from Cincinnati Thune and the other rhinos should be charged for accepting money from companies that don't want to save America Act. Save America act. That's right.
Chip
Why is it every single time without fail that that the the majority leader in the Senate is always a rhino. Why the only one that wasn't was with when during Clinton when what's his name was there. Geez. I mean that was the only time it was the only time got passed.
Jeff
That's right James or Joe was saying you guys see Joe Rogan finally figured the elections are stolen. JD Vance was there for like two and a half hours. I saw everyone's waking up across the board across it can't wait for some big news coming out tomorrow. Right. Big announcement, foreign intervention, and potentially two sitting politicians out of the state of Georgia might be going down. We'll see.
Chip
And then one of my favorite people, I like the all in Pod because it's a great podcast. It really is. But David Sachs, Chamath Palpatia, and you got the other two guys, which are kind of like, they're. You got the two conservatives, you know, Smith, and you got, you know, David Sacks. And then the other two guys are kind of like a little wishy washy then to do with those giant aviator specs from the 70s. He's got these giant aviator specs. And that dude's always. He's like lefty. But anyway, Chamath was on with, you know, that lefty liberal dude. That's Sorkin, that's always on cnbc. So he was on there. This is only one clip I pulled, but this was one of the better ones. I think it's important to take a step back and realize you're making a very specific, numerically grounded comparison about what your opinion of President Trump.
Jeff
Trump is. It's not my opinion.
Chip
No, no. I'm just saying you can make a numerical comparison. Imagine if we were sitting here and we'd have to first declare 19 pronouns and we'd have to talk about, you know, the dei, like, I'm here because I'm like a Sri Lankan immigrant that grew up on welfare. I have to tell you, my whole sob story, where we were going was not a place that was oriented around productivity.
Jeff
It was around.
Chip
That was around theater.
Jeff
I'm not disagreeing with that.
Chip
But that's a different.
Jeff
That's a different topic.
Chip
So I'm saying you have some valid points about where GDP could be or could not be. You should thank the lucky stars that that's what we're debating right now.
Jeff
And. And that. And that's a fair argument on that side, too.
Chip
You see his face at the end, he's like, oh, God, this tiresome liberal look. He'll roll his eyes are the best ever.
Jeff
And that. And that's a fair argument on that side, too.
Chip
What is that Sorkin dude, man. That Sorkin is a nut. He's a nutter, man. He really is.
Jeff
Like the guy in the red shirt,
Chip
the guy was just, you know, I gotta tell you, one of the big stars that I see and upcome. Upcomers, Brandon Guild, every time I see this guy, real raking somebody over the coals in a hearing, I think this guy's fantastic. This branded guilt, he's gonna. He's like a new star of the Republican Party. I can't get enough of this guy. So let me pull up this video of him. You're gonna recognize one of the squad members here, Jeff. Let me see if I can find her. Here it is. Here's one of the squad members. Brandon Kill says it. It's a short clip. Listen what he says at the end. That is why I've introduced legislation to add the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment, enshrining it as the law of this land. I'd be happy to look at your Equal Rights Amendment and read through it. I guess my biggest question was, does it define what a woman is?
Jeff
We'll take a look at it.
Chip
I just was. Was hoping for some analytical clarity, but than. So funny, Major Trolls, man.
Jeff
So funny.
Chip
Oh my God, you gotta love the trolls. Yeah.
Jeff
So amazing. They're so amazing.
Chip
She's going on about stuff, just about crazy talk. So you know that. You know that nut job, Jeff.
Jeff
Mom.
Chip
Mom. Remember mom, dummy.
Jeff
He's going down. He's not. He's not going to survive when he pissed off the Italian community in New York that built New York. Well, not going to survive this one.
Chip
Anyway. He's here to tell you that rape has gone up in the city. If you listen closely, you'll hear why. Jeff.
Jeff
Yeah, so excuses it.
Chip
Yes, you're gonna hear why. Okay, tell me if this makes sense to you. When we come back from this, I want to hear your thoughts on this. You ready? There we go. What I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior. Jeff, can you work. What did he just say?
Jeff
Say rape is no longer rape.
Chip
Yeah, it's like what? I mean, I don't even know what he's talking about here. They expanded
Jeff
illegal is llamas.
Chip
Yeah, I mean this is. This is exactly why. Because they're not prosecuting, you know, Islam. Anyway, Spencer Pratt had a good take on it. Spencer Pratt chimed in here and said,
Jeff
not gonna last the year. He's out.
Chip
Yeah, here he goes. See, I gotta remove that first and then add it. Spencer Pratt said I missed the days when a Democrat leaders were simply saying, well, it depends what your definition of is is. Not all these communists who hijacked the Democrat party and moved it up to, well, it depends your definition of rape is. Yikes. Remember they used to say that it depends what your definition of is is.
Jeff
Well, that Was Clinton
Chip
is a rape. Is.
Jeff
Yeah. Oh my God.
Chip
I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Okay, well, Zor. Zorhan.
Jeff
Zoron the zomb dummy.
Chip
I mean, yeah, Zoron here.
Jeff
Zoron the.
Chip
You can't make this stuff up, Jeff. You really can't. It's. It's just. It's on a new. It's on a level gift he keeps
Jeff
on giving to stupidity.
Chip
Every day there's a new story about this guy, which is why we track it. But I gotta tell you, man, look at. You gotta look at the contrast here. Oops.
Jeff
Come on.
Chip
God. This why they. Why is this program so ab.
Jeff
Side by side. See if you guys remember.
Chip
Let me do this right.
Jeff
Remember people used to strive to move and live in New York. Those were the days. Now people strive to not move and they want to leave. I think that live should is spelled leave. That's what that actually says. Want to leave New York City. No one wants to be there. Who wants to be there?
Chip
Hello? Anyway, this is Zoran, Madame's Internet Hadika Arzum Alik. She reveals that electing him was part of a holy war in jihad. Okay, here we go.
Jeff
Okay. True believer knows that none of this is in vain, that this is all jihad, that this is all ibadah and that this is all counted for by Allah. And so the conversation arrested and suspended. I think it's time for Muslims to start to say, all right, all right, so what? Do what you want. I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do what I gotta do.
Chip
Because that's about time to do that.
Jeff
And I know everybody has their own families and has an education and everything. Just a question. We don't want to get.
Chip
Here's my question. What happens to women? They don't get into heaven. I don't know what you're gonna do.
Jeff
Nope.
Chip
Maybe what did that one.
Jeff
That one imam said women. Well, what do you say? We'll hear the unheard and see the unseen.
Chip
It sounds like word salad.
Jeff
It was all words. They will see the unseen and hear the unheard.
Chip
Well, this church burned down on a story and it was arson. And we think we know, we know who burned it down. But there it is burning down.
Jeff
They know exactly what first over 100 y old church.
Chip
Holy.
Jeff
This is happening throughout Europe. It's happening over here. There's only one group of these Islamists. You just heard from her. They're all over the place. If you listen to those that are in the know, they talk about the multi levels of how the Islamists come over here, what they do, what they did in England, how they come over here with pacification and they just want, you know, they want safety and they're supposedly escaping from persecution. And then, and then they get emboldened and then they start getting into politics and then they start praying in the streets. Praying in the streets is that last phase before they start takeover. And you see what's going on in England, they're already moving quite rapidly. If you go to other countries, you listen to the Iranians, what happened there during takeover. Listen, listen to the Lebanese, what happened there used to be predominantly Christian, not anymore. So listen to all of these different areas, you know, around the world as the Islamists moved in, England being next. And then let's see what's happening here in the US as well, across the different states. And it's time for that to put an end to it. Gotta get rid of them.
Chip
Ruin up the Wolverine look, that beer.
Jeff
I am, yeah, resurrecting the Wolverine. Look.
Chip
That's great. Same as well. That's correct.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
So anyway, New York City Department of Buildings rejected the plan to save 174 year old church in Bushwick. The burn of the arson demolition set. And who runs that agency? Well, none other than Ahmad Tigani. Jeez. And everybody's outraged. They're like, oh, we're outraged. I'm like, you're outraged? The Muslim is not going to rebuild your church, huh? So, you know, Amy Coney Barrett's been making some odd choices. She was mostly 85, conservative, that's recently dropped and I think you know why. Let's listen to this and see if we can figure this one out. Jeff, let's do some sleuthing here, can we? Here we go. I want to share a little bit about how the threats have exactly affected me and my family personally. They have required me to. My children to think about and see things that children should not have to see or think about. One example is when threats to my life were particularly intense. A few years ago, around the time of the Dobbs leak, my security detail sent me home with a bulletproof vest and I carried it into my house, put it into my bedroom, dropped it down on a table, turned around, and my 12 year old son was standing in the doorway of my bedroom. And he wanted to know what it was and why I had it. And I didn't know how to respond because maybe I lack imagination, but I didn't expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to My children, what a bulletproof vest was and why I had to wear one. Here's my advice to you, Mary Amy Barrett, whatever your third name is, resign. Step down. Go live your life with your children. Like, if you're. Look at the fear in her eyes, she's. I mean, she's terrified.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
So Amy Coney Barrett just resigned. Step away from it. Like, you're. She was clearly nervous about the birthright citizenship, thinking she would be taken out. And so what ends up happening, Trump goes ahead and now he's re. Filed it because Mexico's got signs up everywhere talking about coming to the country for birthright citizenship.
Jeff
Yep.
Chip
It's also been reported in the news that roughly six weeks ago, I was the victim of a SW swatting incident. that point, my teenage son, one of my teenage sons, opened the door to go out with friends and saw in our street, it was full of police cars who had responded to a false report of gunshots and raised voices in my home.
Jeff
I was very, very grateful that I
Chip
had Supreme Court police outside my home because they were able to stop and meet with and explain, explain to the county police that it had been a false alarm. And so the police did not actually attempt to enter our home. I mean, that's fear.
Jeff
So, so that's awesome. So her threat. And then my son's school has had bomb threats, shooting threats, and they had to bring all the kids together. And it's, it's terrifying, you know, for these kids. And there was one incident, it was a false alarm in their school, and the, the alarm went off. So. And they, there's ample security at his school. Now Ivanka's kids go there, too. And so they have their private security attachment. It's interesting. So they had all the kids in a room and their security had to come and find her. Her kids, her daughter or sons. I forget. Well, the story. Which ones. But they kicked the door in and so that raised the level of terror a little bit further. They kicked the door in because they were, they had to go and save them. Meanwhile, as a false alarm. And there was a trigger of false alarm. Like all this crazy stuff went on and, you know, but this is the stuff that kids have to live with now. She's, she's a sitting judge. And yes, you're doing some stuff that's, you know, dangerous, you know, because from, you know, perspective of the craziest around the country, but that's the position you chose to be in. You know, I don't, I don't know, judgment. What's that?
Chip
Anyway, you want to see what a badass says? This is what a badass set sounds like right here. I'd rather die than withdraw. If they're gonna kill me, they're gonna kill me. So you'd still like to serve on the Supreme Court? I'd rather die than withdraw from the process. Not for the purpose of serving on the Supreme Court, but for the purpose of not being driven out of this process. I would not be scared.
Jeff
I don't like bullies.
Chip
I've never run from bullies. I never cry uncle. And I'm not gonna cry uncle today, whether I want to be on the Supreme Court or not. Damn.
Jeff
That's it.
Chip
That's old ass.
Jeff
He was badass.
Chip
My two favorite judges. Jesus, love that. Of course they took Scaly out. Say they didn't, but we all know what happened.
Jeff
Yep.
Chip
Yeah, it's just getting to be crazy, Jeff, all the weird stuff that's going on.
Jeff
Amy Comey's a New Orleans lefty. She went to Dominican High School in Nola. She came up behind me. That was ice wine. There you go. Yeah. You remember these days they used to make kids hide under the desk, you know, for nukes. That was always safe. Here's, you know, you gotta hide under the wooden desk.
Chip
202181 Conservative threats surge after Dobbs ruling 2022-2025 55. Any justice that's too scared to rule on the basis of law should resign. I believe that. 100.
Jeff
Jim.
Chip
Dinner clearance. Thomas.
Jeff
One fever. 101 Fahrenheit temperature. Out of nowhere, North Dakota dropped into ketogenic mode due to no appetite. Damn. Come on.
Chip
Damn.
Jeff
What do you do for 101 fever?
Chip
I don't know.
Jeff
Salt water.
Chip
And then our buddy, 23 year old Nick Shirley, who's another badass. Remember when instead of investigating the fraud, the mainstream media decided to investigate the person who exposed the fraud? Why? Yeah, because they were complicit in the COVID up. I was right. They were wrong. I work for you, they work against you. The media is full of lyres. You see what he did there, Jeff?
Jeff
That's what he did there. And this is a couple good videos where they come after him, you know, because of he's telling the truth, he's revealing the fraud and they come after him.
Chip
He said. This is a hell of a retraction. Previously posted. In December 31, 2025 an earlier version of the story incorrectly said that Nick Shirley and his colleague claimed to have uncovered 110000 in fraud. When in fact it was 110 million in fraud. Oops.
Jeff
Whoops.
Chip
Just a small little minor clerical error there, Jeff.
Jeff
And 30 million of that fraud is.
Chip
Yeah, like Omar, I don't know, was on there one day and I don't know what happened. It was weird. Nobody knows. Mystery, Jeff. It's a big freaking mystery. By the way, there's a cool new documentary. I don't know if you guys heard, if you heard about this, but Rokhana visited Israel and there's a cool little mini documentary on it here. Let's watch it. Damn thing is a total disaster. It's killing my image.
Jeff
We need to do something about this.
Chip
I got it.
Jeff
We go to Palestine. Everyone hates Israel right now.
Chip
It'll be perfect.
Jeff
Real talk. Do you think it's too much if I announce my presidential run when we're in Gaza?
Chip
Feels a bit random, don't you think?
Jeff
I think Gen Z is going to eat it up. Sir, should we let the Israeli government know we're here? Are you kidding me?
Chip
Absolutely not.
Jeff
We have to catch him off guard. That's the whole point, you idiot. Wait, why are there mansions everywhere? Where's the rubble? Where's the rubble? Are you sure this is Palestine? Sir, the Israeli ambassador's office just reached out.
Chip
They offered to set you up with
Jeff
some October 7th survivors while you're here.
Chip
Ignore those losers.
Jeff
Nobody cares about Israelis. We're here for a photo op at the Palestinian border to make Israel look bad. Wait, are those settlers with the soldiers?
Chip
Pull over there.
Jeff
Let's see if we can get detained.
Chip
Hi, sorry to stop. Stop you. Can I ask where you're headed? This isn't really an area you can drive through freely.
Jeff
Am I being detained? No. Can we get some of the male soldiers to come detain us instead? These women are all way too hot. Nobody's going to believe I was scared of her.
Chip
I need more shots of people suffering. Do we feel like we have enough B roll?
Jeff
Okay, great. Let's get out of this already. Is this really how Israel should be treating protection? Long shot presidential candidates. Do you think that'll work?
Chip
Oh, thank God for AI. Jeff, that was fantastic.
Jeff
That's too funny. Oh my God.
Chip
That was great idea for a new
Jeff
toy, Mr. Eggplant Head. Oh my God.
Chip
I don't know what that means.
Jeff
What's that? That was. That guy had an eggplant head.
Chip
Yeah, we know what an eggplant is. Right? We all know it's code for if you don't look it up. If you don't if you know, you know. And if you don't, it's the perfect rokhanna head. So let's listen to this, Jeff. Let's listen to this dude being interviewed here. I like Sharia law. Islam does not enforce any of its laws on non Muslims. It definitely does. That's wrong. It definitely does. No, it definitely does because Islam grew by blood and also went. When Muslims conquer the land, people either had to convert to Islam through the sword. If they didn't want to convert, they had to pay jizya. It's like a tax. Like if you, if you live in Muslim land and you're not Muslim, you have to pay jizya. Every country that moves away from Islam or religion for that matter, progresses. Islam is a challenge to that because Islam is here to govern. Islam is a political religion. So it's very hard to separate it from politics. You have of lot, a lot of freedoms in this country. The reason for that is because Islam is not mixed with your politics. Trust me, it's not fun.
Jeff
So don't let that happen to you.
Chip
I know a lot of Maria. It's a little suspect, man. It's a little. It's a little suspect.
Jeff
I mean,
Chip
Jeff, you know, you know
Jeff
what time it's for around the world, is it?
Chip
It's time for around the world, Jeff. Take us around the world. Oh, yeah, it's time. Grab your passports. We're going around the world. From US to Middle east to Europe to China. The headlines are moving. We're connecting the dots.
Jeff
Let's go around the world.
Chip
Yeah, we're going around the world and we're for change. There's some good news, guys. Just we're gonna start off with some good news today. Peter. Peter. Sweden says right wing wave. Are we watching?
Jeff
How is this relevant to XRP? You obviously missed the first 40 minutes.
Chip
Yeah, well, you missed the first 40 minutes. It's called crypto and geopolitics. This is geopolitics segment. Most people don't stay. So thank you for hanging out. Really appreciate you. France, what's happening? Well, Merlin the pen is now leading the polls to be next president because a court remember they try to. They did the same thing they did to Trump. You can't run, you can't be on or. So what did they do? Court overruled it. She's crushing the polls right now. She will be the next president. So there you go, Prime Minister. Austria, the Freedom Party leading the polls massively at almost 40. Germany got the AfD party now consistently number one in the polls, Norway we just saw, the rowers were over here. Libertarian FRP party leading the polls by a wide margin. Something is changing in Europe. And as they say, Jeff, never forget the man who dug the well. And that man's name is Donald J. Trump. It's easy when one man makes it possible because look what happened. Look at all the six countries that flipped in, in Central and South America. It's, it's a radical thing. One of my favorite Dutch people, Ava Vl Brook, she is crushing it. Once again she said. Fantastic news. We won our battle in court against the mater of Brussels. The Save Europe act event is now officially allowed. A huge thank you to everybody who supported us. We won and we'll keep winning. And you know, thank God she's the only one to speak out. I mean one of the few especially women to speak out in Europe. But she's fantastic. But this is her, this is her colleague here that she was referred, that she talked about in that last amazing news from Brussels. We have won. It's the first victory against the EU migration complex and against the major of Brussels. We have won. Our immediate legal action paid off and our amazing lawyers have won against the mayor who tried to ban a demonstration. Our demonstration in front of the European Parliament at 2:45pm is going to to take place. We're going to have Eva Vlangerbroeck tries, Van Langenhoven, Dominic Raczinski and myself and many other people on the stage. We're going to have a great banner live signing of the Safe Europe act and we want you there. So if you have time, if you're in Brussels, please come. We want to show a sign of strength and a sign of force against the elites. We want to show them, you cannot cancel us, you cannot ban us. The Safe Europe acts unstoppable and re migration is unstoppable.
Jeff
Unstoppable.
Chip
So spread the word, sign the act and join us today in Brussels. Boom Boom is right. Gotta love this, Love this. I mean this is only like a week old. They already have 550000 signatures. They've already tried to ban it. But what you're probably asking yourself, what is the Save Europe Act? Well, here it is, right here. Secure borders. The preservation of Europe's ethnoculture, continuity. So look at how it starts off. Jeff, read the preamble. Tell me if this sounds familiar.
Jeff
Sounds pretty familiar. We the people. Look at that. Peoples of Europe. We the peoples, driven by our love and responsibility for our nation's descendants and shared civilization. Call upon the European Commission to recognize and protect the inelienable right of Europe's native people to preserve their collective identity, heritage and way of life in accordance with the principles of national sovereignty and self determination. There you go. That is, that's big. Now let's see how far they carry that over because this has to go country by country. Forget the eu no longer has any, any control over the sovereignty of a nation. Time to put that to an end. Same thing with the international court.
Chip
Well, here we go right here.
Jeff
Useless. UN Useless.
Chip
Yeah. The EU must respect the national identities it protects. Ethnoculture, religious and linguistic diversity preserves Europeans historic cultures and traditions. Large scale migration has weakened social cohesion. Security, ethno culture continuing. Many European nations without major migration and asylum reforms. Native European risk becomes minorities becoming minorities in their own homeland. Migration does not solve demographic challenges. And then Europe should prioritize well being security. I always remember Jeff, we talked about this for a long time. Like for 250 years nobody's really borrowed or stolen from you know, the constitution or anything from the US and all we the people, we the people's inalienable rights.
Jeff
Boom.
Chip
Alice sounds very familiar and it's great that Ava Vlatter broke is actually making a stand. I can see the videos. I can of her. She's fantastic. This I have to laugh at a little bit.
Jeff
Save act was added to spending bill. Now Senate is doing something about it. Trying to work around the rhino thumb. That's right. They're trying to get it passed through. You know, it's interesting Chip, America is by far the greatest country on earth to date right now. And, and you know, as you start really putting this in place, and this is really interesting, we're talking about this last night that if, if you really position the U.S. and you think about the military might of the U.S. how powerful is our military? Right. And countries are terrified, you know, now that we're kind of taking a leadership role. But the US has such a might that if we wanted to invade any country right now and topple it. If we wanted Greenland, we could take Greenland. If we wanted to take Mexico, we could probably take Mexico if we wanted to. Any country on earth, we wanted to destroy the country in its entirety, we could do that. We're not doing that. Right. That proves other countries would exactly do that. Not only do they become punitive of their own people, but they take action to try to detrimentally impact other nations around the world. And here we are helping the globe. We're always there to help Liberate, to save, to push for freedom, to push for economic freedom. And that's what we're this beacon, you know, onto it. But thank God for Trump, because it wasn't for Trump putting the US Back in this leadership role. The world needs it, the world craves it, the world wants it. And now we're seeing, just like you said a little while ago, you know, it's the Trump effect. And so across South America, we're re emboldening South America. We're putting China back on, put him back into a defensive shell because China took way too many liberties under other governments. And now there's also a lot of evidence coming out that China doesn't actually have the full population that they claim to have. That's a much smaller population, and they don't have the might that they say they have. It's impossible, numerically impossible, for China to have the quantity of people that they have. Their empty cities are proof positive of that. Their weak military might prove positive of that. Russia's military weapon, weaponry, you know, we put them all kind of in. In this box now, and we can show. Look, we could. Here's what we can do. And now it's a matter of all these countries are following along, but all these countries were lied to, and they were, you know, persuaded into accepting open borders and allowing these uneducated teeth suckers to come into their country and just milk the system. And they're doing it in order to destabilize the regions really, really dangerous. And the communists and the Islamists all working hand in hand. This has been going on for the past couple of decades, but now they're. They were emboldened. But you know what, they all showed their hand way too soon. And so they knew that their time was short and they tried. And here we are, you know, before Trump could completely destabilize any of their power, they try to act, but you know what? Now they've shown their hands and we're taking them down systematically, you know, across the globe. And it's perfect. Amazing, Amazing.
Chip
Well, let's head over to the Netherlands here. This is an American transsexual man who applied for asylum in the Netherlands due to oppression. Jeff, in Trump's America, well, he was placed in the infamous asylum center Turapo, which is famous for Islamist extremists and knife violence. He claims that he regrets his decision. Here he is here, and there is a bunch of Algerians and Moroccans or whoever who think that queer people should be beaten. I think that this system where you have people just living out here that are unhappy. Is not good. Yeah. Do you think it's safe here?
Jeff
No, I don't think it's here.
Chip
Oh, it's scary. It's legitimately scary. I decided that my mental health is degrading so. So substantially being here that I just need to get out. And the situation that I have in the US as a trans person, not good.
Jeff
Right.
Chip
But here I will be hurt or killed.
Jeff
What an idiot.
Chip
Yeah. So what can't you do as a transperson, United States? You can't answer that question. It's horrible. It's horrible. Trump bad. Evil. Trump bad.
Jeff
Exact. Just. They just need to shut the hell up. People go into their little box.
Chip
They really do, Jeff. It really is becoming quite the thing. Well, here's Ireland. This woman, this Irish woman was being hassled by one of these asylum seekers. Boyfriend got involved. Didn't end well. I don't ask your number. You did ask for my video. I have a video now.
Jeff
I.
Chip
Oh, my God.
Jeff
What happened?
Chip
Your face.
Jeff
What happened?
Chip
You remember me? What happened to your face? The guy trolls him.
Jeff
You remember me, by the way.
Chip
That video will never get old. I watch these all day long. Like it never. It never bothered. I can't watch enough of them. I really feel. I feel like I can't. You want to see what Bradford looks like? Bradford in the uk? Northern England. What is this?
Jeff
Where is that?
Chip
My country. Oh, my God. It was like that song I played. Remember, Jeff? This is fantastic, you know?
Jeff
Oh, God.
Chip
Yeah. I mean, it's just. It's starting to get. It's just crazy. So this is a cop having a conversation with some dude in the uk. Listen to this.
Jeff
I have the belief that you may be in possession of drug.
Chip
I got the belief that you may
Jeff
be in possession of drug. That's why I want to search you. What? What's your name?
Chip
First before you search, I want to search you.
Jeff
Under session 23. Can I have your name, please?
Chip
Col number. My.
Jeff
My column is 083-870-838. I'm long police Station. And what do you want to do? Search Man.
Chip
Dude, you can overpower these guys. I mean, it's. It's not even going to be hard, really. They don't have an army. Like, this would be the easiest takeover ever. I mean, honestly, it will be over before it even begins. Like, what are they going to do? They don't even have guns. They got these little billy clubs, weapons. I mean, come on, guys.
Jeff
So pathetic. So pathetic. I mean, maybe that Guy was a cop in the country he came from. I don't know, but the guy was so. Soy beta.
Chip
This is in the uk, Jeff.
Jeff
Oh, that was. Yeah, I know it's the uk. It's so weak. They're importing their police now.
Chip
I gotta turn the music off on this. And it's sad because it's the Benny Hill. Hang on a second.
Jeff
You just ruined it.
Chip
But you're gonna watch it. Just gotta hear in your head, guys, you see this giant Afghan rug? You see this giant Afghan rug these two women dying are gonna attempt. This is not, this is not parody. This is for real.
Jeff
This has got to be parody.
Chip
In the washer.
Jeff
No.
Chip
Look at them just. I can't believe it doesn't fit. Just remember one thing.
Jeff
You don't put. You don't put a Persian carpet into a.
Chip
When you import third world, you become.
Jeff
Oh, my God. You cannot put a Persian carpet into a washing machine.
Chip
I wish it was. AI. Here's. Here's baby Trump.
Jeff
You've been bombing Iran from months now.
Chip
Is this just the new normal for the American?
Jeff
Well, you know, we're in Vietnam for 19 years. We're here for four months.
Chip
So I think we've done a lot.
Jeff
We've knocked out their navy in a period of one month.
Chip
We knocked out their air force.
Jeff
Their air force is non existent. We knocked out most of their missiles,
Chip
most of their drones.
Jeff
We knocked out their drone manufacturing capability about 92%. Their missile capability for manufacturing, we knocked out 89%. And they have a little capability, but they don't have any capability for us. This is almost a military skirmish now with all of that being said, you have to get people that want to make something. We had a deal with them two days ago and then they said, oh, we can't make that deal. We have to negotiate it further. And this is what they've done for 47 years. The difference is nobody negotiated like I do. And this should have been done by Bush and Obama and Biden and people before them, frankly. It's 47 years they've been Biden eating ice cream.
Chip
Whoever does these videos, look at this one.
Jeff
Brilliant. Look at Trump on the thing. Oh my God.
Chip
Biden eating the Ben and Jerry's.
Jeff
Sounds too funny. Oh, my God, Bush. There's Bush. Oh my gosh.
Chip
There's such quick flashes. And all the ones of the, of the missiles were even, were pretty, pretty good, frankly.
Jeff
It's 47 years they've been ripping off everybody.
Chip
Those diver diplomacies. They do a fantastic job. Jeff they really do a great job. And then everyone's kind of wondering about Mitch McConnell. I think what they missed was this video right here. Kind of really put some. You kind of like. This is very believable right here. Good.
Jeff
My G. I'm fresh out the hospital
Chip
and I'm feeling a hundred.
Jeff
He's doing so much better. Shut up.
Chip
You know I be pimping for real.
Jeff
On God. No, Cap. You got to keep her in check sometimes, homie. I'm low key faded right now, twin, but I'll hit up the Senate when I feel like it. You know how we always on cpt. I already rizzed up this bop and
Chip
finna crack real quick. About to teach this old dog new tricks.
Jeff
I'll holla.
Chip
I can't be sure, but I think that might have been dead.
Jeff
I think. So he's dead or in a coma, right?
Chip
Yeah, well, people were saying like it was. It was a. The picture was manufactured and. Yeah, so you know this controversy with this new Nolan movie coming out called the Odyssey. You know, one of the oldest Greek stories. It's like 27. Scholars put it at 27 to 3,000 years old. Well, you know that, you know that kid's story, Mona the little. The Polynesian story, whatever. Right now they make it a live action, but they made sure that they used all legitimate actors for this made up story. But the 3,000-year-old story, Jeff, about Greeks. And then they're saying like. Because it's kind of weird. Helena Troy, you know, she's. She's black. In the, in the thing you got. You got this little troll who, who is the one that the, the. The girl who got her chopped off and she thinks she's a guy. I can't think of what her name. Anyway, she plays what the Brad Pitt character played in the previous incarnation. But this is. Someone made a little funny AI video because she's short. They still say she. Even though Elliot Page, that's who it is, Elliot Page. They showed the whole cast and Elliot Page is like this big. And I mean, because she's a girl, right? She's like. She's not tall. He's a little girl, but here he goes. Do you know animals can be gender fluid? Oh, look how cute this one is. What kind of female animal is this? I'm not a woman.
Jeff
I am a man.
Chip
Sir, I think one of the animals is loose. Damn it. Really?
Jeff
What the hell's going on?
Chip
A little bit crazy there. A little bit on the crazy side. But anyway, turns out that's all we have, Jeff. That's all we have tonight, dude.
Jeff
Insane, insane stuff. Tell you what.
Chip
Yeah, Colombian Trump won. Somebody put that in there. Yeah, that's right. 100.
Jeff
We took down so much about South America.
Chip
Thank you for that.
Jeff
Rue Columbia. Colombia was a big one. That was massive, massive money.
Chip
Let me see if I can find that video because crazy. She plays a Greek warrior. Yes. Who are you talking about? Ellen Page is a Greek warrior for. Yeah, the Brad Pitt character is like the last big movie they made like this. Brad Pitt played that character. Well, she's playing it now. We can feckless in the movie the Odyssey. And the reason Christopher Nolan did this was in order to get considered for an Oscar, you have to have all these di thing DEI components to it. You have to have so many this gender and that and non genders and fluidity and all that. And if you do all that, you could be considered for an Oscar. So like, your universe of potential Oscar nominees is really small. That's why all these weird movies get basically chosen every year.
Jeff
Like the falcons. The Falkland Islands. Yes, get that. And Greenland. England has no offense.
Chip
They played a little offense, but they, you know, look, I mean, the fact is they played great defense. It's just. Argentina is a machine.
Jeff
Argentina took him down. Took him down.
Chip
Argentina is a machine.
Jeff
It's amazing. So, so wait, Saturday, France and England play for third place.
Chip
Yeah, that's correct. Third place.
Jeff
Nobody,
Chip
you know, like, if you lose that game, you like, you get fourth place. Like you win fourth place, right? If you win, you go like, hey, we're third place, you know.
Jeff
But the final, I think the medal is first place.
Chip
I was in awe watching that game. Spain shocked France. I was, Jeff, it's a good thing I didn't put money in the game. I was 99 in on France. Did you see them during the cup? They had one goal scored against them. They, they were crushing every opponent. I was like, I don't know what happened to them, but man, I got it to give. Spain controlled that game, man, they controlled everything in that game. Was phenomenal.
Jeff
So Argentina, Spain is going to be a solid game.
Chip
I think it's going to be good.
Jeff
But in Argentina coming up this Sunday.
Chip
Yeah, Sunday at 3 o', clock, I think. Whatever. Maybe, maybe it's later. I know the. Yeah, three o', clock, I think on Sunday. But I'm gonna, I'm gonna miss it, man. I love watching World cup, especially being here in the U.S. jeff, how great was that?
Jeff
Oh, it was amazing.
Chip
Absolutely fantastic.
Jeff
I'm kind of actually, I'm kind of sad to see it go. There was so much excitement going on over the past month.
Chip
Yeah. And all the videos and all the people and stuff. Here you go. Here's Ellen Page right here. Here he is. So that's what he looked. That's what she used to look like. And then she looks like this now. So you can see he still has the scars from getting those slashed. But this is what somebody with mental ill like.
Jeff
Wait, that was. That's what we've been talking about.
Chip
This is Ellen Page. And now this is the Ellen Page that's going to be in the Odyssey that's playing the equivalent of the Brad pit character. See somebody. Yeah.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Chip
No, see.
Jeff
Oh my God.
Chip
Seriously, you see right there, look.
Jeff
Oh, God.
Chip
A woman that still looks like a woman is playing the Brad Pitt character. It's. It's unbelievable.
Jeff
That's insane.
Chip
Yeah.
Jeff
Something mental illness on display.
Chip
Mental illness everywhere.
Jeff
There.
Chip
Yeah. Okay. That looks that. Come on, man. Lnp. Helen of Troy. Wow.
Jeff
Jesus world.
Chip
I was trying to find the whole cast because that was like. You go like it just looks like a little woman. I mean, oh, what have you gone to? What have we.
Jeff
We're gonna. We're gonna start making ranch badass.
Chip
We import. Why don't we be like importers ranch into Europe. We will be heroes. We can just be the importers. We'll import ranch. Who wants to partner with us over there in the uk? UK and Australia as well.
Jeff
You know, we have. Let's see. Who do we have in.
Chip
Did you know that. That they sell vegemite at Publix Steelers Bill Chip. Real football. It's coming up, my man. It's coming up. You can't get enough of it, really. I mean, I love soccer. I love World Cup. I never miss. I try to watch as much as I can digest and I like watching regular games. I. I've peele of used to watch a lot of Premier League and.
Jeff
Oh, they do every sergeant.
Chip
I got tired of it and I have so much time in a day. But man, I like international in Europe. I love the Euro Cup, Concav Cup. I like all that. I like inter like international competition. It's really great. But what a showing by the United States. They really did it. Vegemite. Vegemite's good, man. Jeff, we were told we were showed how to properly have it with butter. Little specks of it.
Jeff
We're showing how to.
Chip
Actually, I brought home one of the squeeze things that I ate it all, put it on toast. We thought you spread the whole thing and that's not how you do it. You put little bits of it because with. Mixed with butter and it's tasty.
Jeff
It was pretty good.
Chip
My wife did not like.
Jeff
I didn't. I didn't want any more of that. Not enough. I left it in Australia. I didn't want more of that.
Chip
Bought me something to take back with me. Vegemite sandwich. Yummy. That's it. It's all the time we have. That's all the time we have. The teaspoon off the LGBs. They certainly are back on Saturday morning,
Jeff
8am Eastern Standard Time. Bright and early.
Chip
Bright and early, guys. So be here. Be square. Or B, if you follow World cup right before they're gonna announce something, they do the. The old square there. There you go. A penalty. I actually think the efficiency people complain a lot about it. I'm so happy to see that. They just let stuff play. I hate stopping it and oh, I need. You know, they're trying to draw files and the refs, I think have been out of any World cup in international sport. I've seen. Let it play on, man. They're not give. Stopping the game every 20. Look at the Premier League. Look at all these other. Look at the German League. Look at the. They stop the game all the time for. Because, you know, a buddy of mine's like, dude, they fake these injuries. I go, dude, they're trying to draw the ref's attention. They're trying to draw that they're not hurt.
Jeff
They got to put an end to that. They're really ought to even today's game. Chip, look at that. You had brought up the fact that when they add more minutes to the end. If you're going to add more minutes. Ended at the end of those added minutes. Today was plus nine and the game ended with like plus 12. They added three extra minutes on top of the minutes.
Chip
Well, because they said because of the extra. Because of the. Because of the celebration for the goal. And I'm like, you know the problem with that is it's like it's discretionary. It's like nobody knows. It's a magic number. They go plus nine. So we're like, we're stupid. We're like, wait a minute, 90 minutes plus nine. That should be 99 minutes. You should end. And meanwhile it goes to 101 or 102. You're like, what's going on?
Jeff
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
Chip
It's funny the way the US Lost that game. They should have blown the whistle because the extra time expired. But they had time for one more shot that happened to score. Oh, the US Lost.
Jeff
Exactly. I mean that's what I feel like they were doing for England. Like hey, let's give him a couple
Chip
or again like see if they tie it up and they can go extra, extra time. The other thing I like to do is not given the golden goal. I like this two. I like these two 15 minute halves. You give the other team a chance to score. So you play hard for 30 minutes.
Jeff
Right?
Chip
But the water breaks. I mean Jeff, it was up in Atlanta in an air conditioned domed stadium. Okay.
Jeff
Indoors.
Chip
What do you have in water breaks for these guys? We all know. I'm sorry for the. I'm sorry to tell everybody. It's because it's in the United States. We got to monetize these games and we got to play commercials. There's going to be right before the game, right before the. In the first half, the second half and at the end of the game it's the only chances. But when people are engaged, when you got those.
Jeff
Very good.
Chip
Because we are out of here.
Jeff
2020. JMJ said. Never did figure out what offsides is in soccer.
Chip
Well, that's the funny thing. That's why I like in hockey. You got the blue line, right? It's like you got. There's a line on the field and people don't understand why the game is so slow. Did you ever see a guy, you got one of the backs or midfielders, he kicks it to the forward, right. And he thinks he's going to run. So he starts making the run and he realizes he's off sides and by the time he comes back on side, so they're kicking the ball around, waiting, watching the line to see when they're all back on sides to then make a run. And one dude steps out and, and like you're. The whole game is about the dude getting back on sides so they can make a run. And then the guy had. He. Then two people are off sides and it's, it's, it's just to me it slows this game down and it's becomes a pain in the ass.
Jeff
I'll explain it to 22 to jmj. Now he can, he can leave understanding what offsides really is. What is the offside measure at that point?
Chip
Well, you cannot.
Jeff
Moving.
Chip
Yeah. The attacker can't be further to the goal than, than the defender. Right. So in the case of. And that's why when they show those replays sometimes it's and one time it was the guy's unit. It just was like his unit was sticking out. So it's like he was offsides by that little bit. And then, you know, so if you have an arm or something. I also like the offsides that they show because the guy on the sidelines is never raising that flag enough. But the guy with the. When they. But and it has to be from the time the guy hits the ball. That's the other thing that starts throwing off. The guy hits the ball.
Jeff
Yeah.
Chip
As it's going, they always look at where was the guy. And if he's further to the goal beyond the.
Jeff
The.
Chip
The furthest back defender, that's offsides. So you'll watch these guys go. And then they'll come back on size and everybody has to come back in size and there's a line. Right. Because they're pretty much holding a line
Jeff
there idea where their defenders are.
Chip
That's why so many goals were called back, because the guy was over that line over here. He made the run too fast. The ball wasn't kicked yet. But it's nauseating to sit there and go, no, not offsides again. That's why today I was like, oh, thank God. No offsides calls, you know, because they pull these goals back and they're no fun.
Jeff
That's right. Come for the crypto news day for the phallic humor.
Chip
I'm telling, go back and watch it, man. It's a real thing. I'm not making it up. I'm making it up.
Jeff
Ducky McScrooge. XRP just got even bigger. Bigger than what? That's the exact question that we wanted people to ask. And Ducky mcstrew's acts asked it right at the very end. That's it.
Chip
You gotta ask at the beginning of the show when we're talking.
Jeff
Exactly.
Chip
See, One thing about YouTube is like, nobody will watch beyond 10, 15, 20 minutes. Like the stats show, except for the faithful and the loyal. You guys not. You guys are here from beginning to end. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about most people. So if you get the back half of the video, you're like, wait a minute. This doesn't sound like crypto news. We've been doing it for six years, but no one ever gets that far. They never know. They're like, what do you mean? You cover geopolitics? What is this like? Yeah, we've been doing it since the beginning.
Jeff
We actually. We've been carrying a large number of concurrent now that we've already said goodbye. A lot of people left, but our concurrence have been staying consistent from the beginning all the way through the end. So we know there's a lot of people out there loving the geopolitics. But as soon as we say, hey, we're out, then people leave, and then we stayed on. So I don't know what happened. We stay here for a little bit longer.
Chip
It's like Seinfeld to show about nothing. Jeff, it's about something. Geopolitics. There's stuff in there, but you stay for. You come for the crypto, and you stay for the fun. Here we go. So that's it, guys. We are out of here. Chip and Jeff out. Ready here. Are you down with otc? Please, like, subscribe. Subscribe and click the bell to be notified when the next video drops.

Hosts: Jeff & Chip
Main Theme:
The episode explores Ripple's recent strategic moves and how XRP's ecosystem continues to expand beyond the price-focused narratives. The hosts connect seemingly disparate headlines to reveal how Ripple is quietly positioning XRP for a larger role in finance, AI, and global payments. The show also blends in cryptocurrency market sentiment, regulatory commentary, and a wide-ranging geopolitical discussion, consistent with OTC’s freewheeling format.
"When you zoom out, you realize Ripple's already moved into the next chapter while a lot of people are still talking about the last one." – Chip (03:00)
Ripple Joins X402 Foundation for AI Payments
"As AI agents begin to take on more of the transaction cycle, they need a way to pay that's as fast and reliable as data transfer. We've been helping build that future on the XRP Ledger." – Chip reading Ripple post (06:02)
"That's the kind of certainty banks, institutions, and global payments actually need." – Jeff (14:17)
Ripple Effect – Supporting Veterans
"Kudos to Ripple for putting this ... This is doing good stuff out there." – Jeff (11:31)
Ripple Ventures and Velocity Funding
"Ripple is not here to replace Swift... People can't figure that out. It's being rebuilt on blockchain rails." – Chip (01:50)
"That's why they're so heavily focused on price action, price action, and more price action." – Jeff (04:21)
"Stop calling it Crypto Twitter. What's next, we all log back into MySpace?" – Chip (22:46)
Clarity Act and Consumer Protection
"A vote against clarity is a vote to lead the same underregulated conditions to be exploited by those bad actors. We've seen this movie—let's not watch the sequel." – Stu Alderotti read by Chip (21:15)
"Ripple isn't just expanding XRP's use case, it's expanding the entire ecosystem around it... So when there's good news, it's not about XRP, it's about the entire ecosystem." – Jeff (02:20)
"That's the difference between infrastructure built for humans clicking 'approve' and the infrastructure that's built for machines making decisions in milliseconds." – Chip (08:22)
"You can't credibly call yourself pro-regulation and then vote no on the bill built to actually create regulation... Opposing Clarity is just a vote to preserve the status quo." – Lauren Belive via Chip (20:57)
"Why is Crypto Twitter back? Has Crypto... where did it go?" – Jeff (21:32)
"Applaud Ripple for making an awesome choice here." – Chip (11:31)
