[Jeff]

Crypto is it? Whose crypto is.

[Chip]

Whose crypto's in. Yes, very good. He's a force to be reckoned with. Who's crypto man?

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Chip]

Nobody's business man.

[Jeff]

We also have a big auction coming up tonight. Second auction, third auction. Take that back on the XRP cafe using the xrp, using the xrpl Real world utility right here. It's not even coming soon to a place near you. It's coming soon to Sparky's Liquor Shop over on seven into Quinder. That's where mark seven into Quiver.

[Chip]

Jeff, you remember when you first went to Detroit because you're not native to Detroit, you didn't know how to say to Quinder.

[Jeff]

Yes, I do remember. Like a lot of natives around Detroit in. In real world practical speak, I didn't know. Well, I knew where dequinder. Well, I didn't know where dequinder was per se, but I didn't know anything west of of 696.

[Chip]

Damn.

[Jeff]

I thought. I thought everything ended at 696 I didn't really venture because I lived on. I lived on the west side. So I didn't really. I didn't know for the first year and a half other than there were a couple outings we went to. We're out with the guys. We went to a place called Wild Woody's one time that was away on the east side someplace.

[Chip]

Whoa.

[Jeff]

We used to go downtown. So I knew downtown existed. There are bars and places down. This is way back. We're talking about like 94, 95 to 96. But I kind of got an awakening in 96 where I was like oh, there's stuff west of 696.

[Chip]

Interesting. Isn't that? How is that.

[Jeff]

I mean I knew it was there but my world was eat was.

[Chip]

Yeah. You just didn't.

[Jeff]

East of 696 you just didn't sit.

[Chip]

That much time in it.

[Jeff]

I didn't do much over there.

[Chip]

Ripple puts this post on ax. How do you unlock real time liquidity for institutional assets with Ripple USD of course. Our partnership with securitized will law holders of Black Rocks Builder Fund and the Van X V Bill to instantly exchange their shares for Ripple USD there by preserving exposure to onchain yield. There you go.

[Jeff]

I meant 75. Let me correct 75.

[Chip]

She said 696.

[Jeff]

Right. I know. I was thinking 75. My bad. I don't know. I was thinking 696.

[Chip]

Okay. Because I was. It's been a while for me. But I was like.

[Jeff]

The evens run east and west.

[Chip]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Odds for the most part run north.

[Chip]

Run north and south. Yeah. Securitize also integrating with the XRP ledger to expand access and utility to the XRP ecosystem. This is how we're building the infrastructure for a more efficient compliant and on chain future. There's been so many great announcements this year. Here's a little bit more on what's going on the the Ripple Securitize enable so the flagship brings it to Securitize and I know what I was gonna pull some clips from a securitized interview with their CEO and I just didn't get to it. We have enough stuff to talk about anyway but they announced that that a smart contract would allow holders of blackrock's builder Van X V build exchange or shares to Ripple for Ripple USD. And think about this, Jeff. If you think about all the stuff that's happened in ripple USD it was announced in December of 24. I mean all this in nine months. It's pretty insane. All the Different. I mean that's like some serious momentum. And it's also the smart contract adds an additional stablecoin off ramp for builder and VBill tokenized short term treasury funds. BlackRock's USD institutional. That's what it's really called. Digital liquidity fund Best builder or vanex Treasury Fund LTD. VBill represent both firms tokenized funds. You probably would have. Do you think it would have been a better idea to introduce these earlier so you could see what the acronyms were?

[Jeff]

But anyway, yeah, why not just wait and you'll never know. It's a secret. Well kept secret.

[Chip]

Big secret. Vbill. I was seeing that everywhere. I was like, vbill, I was like, what the hell is that Builder. But you got to sit in the room and brainstorm in an office to figure out how it makes a cool world builder with it, you know, with an L. And then Jack McDonald, who's your SVP of stable coins over there at ripple said ripple USD for institutional use offering regulatory clicks, clarity, stability and real utility. I always see that word a lot, Jeff. Real utility. You know what's real utility? Jeff, Let me break in for a second. You know what's real utility?

[Jeff]

What's real utility?

[Chip]

The xrpl. You know what else is real utility?

[Jeff]

What's that?

[Chip]

Badass Yetis auction taking place right now on the xrpl. And if you got that promo, let's run that promo.

[Jeff]

That's it.

[Chip]

We gotta get Bong. That ain't gonna do it. Mark's missing.

[Jeff]

Hey, Bonk.

[Chip]

I'm gonna have to go locate you over there on dequinder there at Sparky's and pull you out of the. We're heading out of the gutter so you can get to your wallet there.

[Jeff]

Actually, Mark, I'm actually, I'm a little bit short on. On some drinks over here, so. Or the last of the monkey shoulder. So if you don't mind picking some up, that'd be great.

[Chip]

That stuff, I got in trouble with that stuff before. Keeping your crypto on exchange, not a good idea. Is it safe to hold RL USD on exchange?

[Jeff]

Like a question.

[Chip]

It's a good question. It's the same thing, right? It's two of one, six of one, half dozen of the other. I mean, it's still on exchange. Still could get hacked. I mean, but you know, weird things happen when you put things on cold storage too. I'm going through that. I'm going through that weird thing right now, Jeff, where when I set it up five years ago, I was so sure I knew exactly where I put the password. Except I didn't know where the password was and I don't have that much XRP on there. But still, it's. It's still a pain in the ass. Like, so you're like, oh, like. And it. It. I had the. It works to open up. It's on my zombin wall. It opens up. But I set a password before. Before you send it somewhere and I used to use that password all the time. Hell if I know what it's called. That's so since there's 6 of a 10 XRP offer made. Is that right? Let me look at that.

[Jeff]

10 XRP offer made.

[Chip]

Refresh that screen, Jeff. Let's see if that's true.

[Jeff]

Let's go for a refresh. Let's see.

[Chip]

Let'S see. Drum roll, please.

[Jeff]

Verifying we're human. This takes a few minutes.

[Chip]

You gotta click it, dude.

[Jeff]

No, it's verified.

[Chip]

Oh, it's verifying. Yeah, it thinks it's a bot going in there. Boom.

[Jeff]

Hey now, look at that. Hey, now, we got one text RP offer 10XRP.

[Chip]

Beautiful.

[Jeff]

Who can beat that? 10XRP. You got eight minutes to own a piece of brute history, man.

[Chip]

Look at that.

[Jeff]

Keeping the water trees, lemon trees in, man. Lemon trees, water man. They're quick.

[Chip]

Very good, man. Very good. Look at this rerun. Good evening after all. Good evening. All right, refresh the page. We got it, my man. Greetings from Hawthorne.

[Jeff]

I'll refresh again.

[Chip]

We haven't seen Art on the lake for a while. Art hasn't been in here in a little bit.

[Jeff]

Nothing.

[Chip]

Everyone's shouting Art out. Art. Art is here. Nothing. Almost. Almost. Not late, almost. You came in at probably the right time because usually when we start. So you're not. It's not that bad. You're not that bad off. So I wouldn't really worry about it too much. Not too much indeed. Brad Garlinghouse. Jeff got in on the whole thing. He's like very excited to share that BlackRock's builder and Vanex VBill tokenized fund holders can redeem shares for that rlusd/eth247, 365 days to securitize and soon to come to rlusd/xrpl. So first it'll show up on ETH and then you'll see it over there on XRPL. And there's a bigger, bigger community behind ETH right now. But this is what's good about RL USD. The fact that it's going to be in a lot of different places. It's not going to be siloed at all. So enterprise grade, instant on chain, liquidity at your fingertips. That is real utility, real world stuff going on.

[Jeff]

I like it. I like the real world stuff.

[Chip]

I wanted to play this one. This was a really good parody. But I couldn't play it because Brad recently announced he got married. Brad Garlinghouse got married. And you know the song from Sarah Live, what is love? What is love? Baby, don't hurt me right? This is the song playing the background that we can't play. So here it is. And this is the scene where he goes. Yeah. With iv wed puts the finger on it. And all of a sudden he hears. He hears. What is love? Baby, don't hurt me. Don't hurt me no more. He hears his music and who is it? Check it out, Dave. And there's David Schwartz blasting a speaker that says XRPL on it.

[Jeff]

Oh. Ah, there you go. There you go. Oh, what happened? What does that.

[Chip]

It's so much better with the music.

[Jeff]

I hear no music at all.

[Chip]

You can't hear the music because we would get hammered. And we taken down.

[Jeff]

We keep getting.

[Chip]

We keep getting strikes. You can't play this.

[Jeff]

Getting strikes because of music.

[Chip]

That's why I was having to describe it. But it. It's like one of those cool fun parodies that. Oh, we can't play. So anyway, there it is right there. Toast the wedding. Toast the rails. That was fantastic. My man gets married and comes back with fire. Maybe we need you to get married more often. Just kidding. Red BlackRock ETF XRP ETF Next, right, Brad. Right, right, right, right, right, Right. XP Market has them covered with the super easy access to RL USD on the XRPL already people already. You think about that. Yippee. Yahoo. Yippoo. And then the big story of the day. Big story of the day for over a decade. Jeff Goldfish what XRP is powered fast and efficient settlement at scale. FXRP on flare extends that strength with composability. Open new growth opportunities. XRP as collateral, liquidity and yield and nothing other than defi. Now. I was gonna check this out, Jeff. I was like, yeah, I think I want to check this out. Well, the problem with wanting to check it out was it was so crazy that it got to a point where it please. 5 million FXRP cap maxed out in four hours. Jeff.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I had the same problem. I was like, oh man. Must have been on the whole community. I got there. I got there too late.

[Chip]

I was like, what the hell happened? I was like, oh, sorry, we already hit it. So now you. We now wait for institutional adoption. So I think every week they open it up at 5 million in four hours. That's an insane amount of traffic.

[Jeff]

Yeah. All community driven.

[Chip]

It's crazy, man. I mean, it's just on one post on X and then there it is. So they kind of go through a refresher. How is it secured? How do you acquire it? You know, what do you do? You connect. But I went There to connect my wallet. I was like, rut Ro, does it work? Too late.

[Jeff]

Next to Zaman, I don't think.

[Chip]

Look at this right. Look at this right here.

[Jeff]

Dude, what wallets can you connect?

[Chip]

Look at the collateral. 19 million. I don't know. I know Zomin can connect to it. Or Bifrost. Sorry, Bifrost is the wallet.

[Jeff]

Bifrost. Bifrost.

[Chip]

B Frost. It's called B Frost. Beef. Be frost.

[Jeff]

Be frost.

[Chip]

Yeah, yeah, there you go. Total FXRP 14.65 million earn. What do they got in the earns? So, yeah, it's pretty crazy. Look at that little curve, the minting. Jeez, this is crazy.

[Jeff]

So here's a. Here's a question for the community. Every show, when we make the music for the different NFT gives giveaways, we're now minting them and we're creating a minted NFT that's unique just for that song. So question to the community. These songs, which we could put up and put them at a sale price. We can go higher, we can go lower, we can auction them, we can take offers on them. A lot of different options, want to make sure that people have an opportunity to buy them. But if we just put up the regular song, I can put up an edited version of the song that just is about the story of. Of the individual NFT we give away. So, like, for instance, right now, this NFT that we minted here is. This is the song from the giveaway for this nft. So here's. Look, if you listen. So here's how it start.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

When a badass yeti from the blue.

[Chip]

Tribe, then he kind of bends beneath his will.

[Jeff]

So we also posted that one on xrp. But you can own a piece of our history here. And for every every NFT that we give away, we create a unique song. Just like with the auction, we created a unique song. So the question is value, Is it better, you know, to have a unique kind of. Kind of biography of that specific yeti that's given that we're giving away or the actual song, because it's just a little minor modification potentially to do a little bit of his biography instead of this is what you're winning. And then we kind of put the package that up into an NFT and it was actually lethal. 337. Who won last time? And he said, winnie, Yeti buy a yeti. So that was kind of cool. So he won and he also bought one of the yetis. So that was kind of Nice.

[Chip]

He's got a 2 for 1.

[Jeff]

The key is keeping the, the, the lemon trees watered. We've got to keep the lemon trees watered in the back. The auction and all that other stuff. Just want to throw that out there. A little bit of on the chain. Yeah, Business types type stuff. It's all based on the value. But. All right, let's go back into. Oh, wait, I kind of went in that direction because. Because of this, we have a minute left on this auction. I kind of. This is kind of cool. We're building into the potential full utility of NFTs and you know, in and around an auction. Kind of cool to be able to run an auction. So automated auction. I mean you can do it on ebay and, and all that stuff. But this is on the blockchain, this is recorded on the xrpl. You win the auction.

[Chip]

Very cool.

[Jeff]

And it's recorded that you're actually winning this. This NFT gets transferred over to you automatically. I mean, talk about building in a smart contract, you know, I mean, this is really, really impressive. Think about all the other possibilities of what you could do from the nft. Get an NFT minted to win whatever you want at auction so you have more record of what you've won. And then the transfer. And then at. Through that nft you can go back and you can track where the movement of it. Maybe more history is built into it, more details, more data. So you can take that, that could be the authentication boom and it's over. And that's it, that's the end of the auction. I'm excited about these auctions. I don't know if anybody else is, you know, we're selling NFTs. But for me, this is, you know, real world utility. Years ago I ran an ebay store. We sold all sorts of stuff on the ebay store. And it was a little clunky selling on ebay, if you've ever done it. To me, this is like this next generation. So there's so many possibilities with what you can do just from this auction. And I believe, I mean, maybe the other platforms, I don't know. I don't know if OpenSea does it, but I think it's really cool to see that. Mark Smithson. So big winner here. I'm assuming that this was. But I don't know.

[Chip]

Yeah, he's saying pretty sure it was. Yeah, it was him.

[Jeff]

Yeah. So that was the big winner over there. Big winner. Big supporter here too. Look at this. Boom. 10, I was to say euro.

[Chip]

£10.

[Jeff]

£10. Look at that.

[Chip]

10 quid, baby. Beautiful.

[Jeff]

Love it.

[Chip]

You're up late, man. It's a late night for you.

[Jeff]

So cool. You can provide FLR to the FSF assets and earn fees from the FXRP that's minted against them. Just saying. Providing collateral is a good way to keep the lemon tree watered. Look at that.

[Chip]

It's also a very good idea. It's also a very good idea. We tried, man. We tried. We will, we will get on the action, but we have to be a little bit quicker on the draw though. But thank you for the support who appreciate that. Tokenize. We'll start. We'll tokenize the lemon tree. Beautiful. Now that's a really. That's a really good idea though, if you think about it, Jeff. Yeah, Provide flare the f acid pools and you can get. You get the fees. Right. So if you put enough in there, it's nice. It's a good idea. We'll have to definitely check into that and you mustn't even think about that.

[Jeff]

But I'll have to mint an NFT.

[Chip]

That'S somehow connected to the mine for 15 xrp. Beautiful. Thank you for that, man. Yeah, I was like, did you put another bid in after that? Because I was like, it was 10 and then I saw, I saw that it lasted for one for 15.

[Jeff]

Oh, there you go. Yeah, there was one for 15 now.

[Chip]

Beautiful.

[Jeff]

Now the thing is I have to go in and accept it, apparently. So I have to accept the offer, the offer for the auction. So let me see if that works.

[Chip]

Which ended up being 14.76 when you take out the fee there. It's great. It's a good. That's all a good way for. For, you know, XRP Cafe to. They don't make a lot of fees, but know if there's enough oxygen run. It sort of adds up after a while, so it's kind of nice.

[Jeff]

Look at this. Look at that.

[Chip]

Beautiful, beautiful.

[Jeff]

Baby boom.

[Chip]

Love that. Love it. Done. Moving on.

[Jeff]

Failed. I don't know what that's all about. Somehow there was a failure.

[Chip]

Just let us know if you got it. That's all we need to know. Also Fabio, who was on. He was on with us an interview. Fabio Marzella, who's one of the two co founders of the Zaodao he. This announcement came out today. Announcement. Zao Dao has chosen Flares FTSO as its primary oracle for price feeds related to XRP membership. Also, huge congratulations to the Flare Networks team and community for the launch of F assets. That's beautiful. That's pretty Good. So, yeah, that's the Flare time series, Oracle data that is being mentioned, the fitso there. So that's where those, those price fees will be coming from. And then that'll be also related to the, to the membership. So very cool to see that as well. What else we got here? What else? Moving right along. Ellie. Terry put this out. Jeff, this is exciting, but only exciting. If it goes the way we think it's going to go, it could be very disappointing too. And knowing how things generally go in Congress, she put this out. She said that the Senate Finance Committee just announced a hearing next Wednesday, October 1st at 10am Eastern on crypto taxes. They're going to have a bunch of witnesses there, some people like Jason Samisato, he's the director of policy over at Coin Center. You have Andrea Kramer, who's the founding member of A.S. kramer Law. Laurence Lotkin, who's the vice president of tax over at Coinbase. Seems like a right Persona there. And Annette Nellon, chair of the Digital Assets Task Force at the American Institute of. Of cpa. Say that fast. Can you imagine that? You're. Hi, I'm the chair of the Digital Assets Task Force at the American Institute of CPAs. It's a long title. Doesn't. Not that we have business cards anymore, but I doubt it fits on there. And look at this. Mark Smithson. I can't even believe you could do that. From Sparky's, man. All the way from Sparky's over by dequinder there. Five smackers. Thank you, buddy. Appreciate that. Flare is pumping. Hell yeah, it is. It's. Flare is like such a under iman. Listen, man, I don't think people have an idea where flare's going. Not financial advice. I just think it's a sleeper. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. So this is really cool to see. This is going to happen. I don't know how this is going to go, but if you ever had the right. If you ever had the right last name for, you know, my, my last name, Chip is good for technology. Chip. And then you've got this guy, Mike Crappo. Crapo, who's a politician, happens to be a Republican. He announced the committee will convene for a hearing entitled examining taxation of digital assets. This could go one of two ways. They're like anything under $600, not tax. Oh, okay, great. What about everything else? So all they have to say is there's no capital gains and we are on. But I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of pushback from the Democrats on this, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Cool.

[Chip]

Yeah, Think about it, Jeff. I want to shine some light on Dirk from Expector. He's been built on the XRPL for years. He launched two successful projects, X Spectre and atm. All the money pushing the ecosystem forward together with incredible community of long term supporters, builders, believers, being acknowledged and multiple times by David Schwartz and also by Brad Garlinghouse. A true honor not just for me, but the entire team and everyone who's been part of the journey. Seeing what we got featured on Binance Square articles, another reason we reminds us to keep on building despite all the hurdles, despite all the setbacks along the way. So big congrats to Dirk. It's always cool to see him on there. I love it. He's been on the show a lot of times, Jeff, and I love staying.

[Jeff]

Yeah. All the things that he's been up to, you know, watching his project kind of go through and develop, you know, the pivot, you know, they've really done an amazing amount of things, which is really cool.

[Chip]

Yeah, they really have. And it's like, it's like. And, and you know, the constant building. The constant building. I wanted to put this for Flair. This, this was something that was teased this morning. I, I thought this, I just really dug the production on this whole thing. It was like, wake up, wake up to Hugo. And then Hugo posted this picture from this video. But I thought this was very clever. I like the artsy style of it. But let's listen in there.

[Jeff]

One of digital finance's foundational assets. Its full potential underutilized.

[Chip]

Xrp.

[Jeff]

The time has come. Its dormant power awakens. With fxrp, your assets move beyond holding, stake, trade, borrow, compose, flare. Flare.

[Chip]

I just like, I just like that a lot. I thought that was really. I like how they're all sitting in cubicles. Remember cubicles, Jeff? God, I worked the Jackal jobs with cubicles.

[Jeff]

Why is Flair Community sleeping?

[Chip]

It was funny because I saw, I saw Flare Community posting to Hugo today. Wakey, wakey, wake up. He was like saying, wake up.

[Jeff]

Look at this. Last 24 hours, 9.2% baby. Look at this. I mean this, this news. Total supply. I want to see volume. Total 24 hour volume, 48.6 million. That's amazing. That's. I mean that, that just shows you. I mean there's a lot of momentum going on right now with Flare over the past 20, 24 hours. Last seven days up 13.7% month, 22%. Three months. See if three months. Wants to open here.

[Chip]

Yeah. Three months.

[Jeff]

58 in a three.

[Chip]

That's crazy. Beautiful.

[Jeff]

Crazy, crazy to see that. If we go, you know, one year.

[Chip]

Yeah, it is like, what is it? 1:30 in the morning?

[Jeff]

Year over. Year 78, 40.

[Chip]

140 in the morning over.

[Jeff]

Even though we were here, who's asked.

[Chip]

A very important question. Why are you still, like, who's. Why are you still awake? You guys are both in the uk. Why are both of you awake? I don't know.

[Jeff]

I'm liking, I'm really liking seeing the direction things are moving in here. Even though. Yeah, you go back into, you know, like 23 obviously was at a higher price point in the 4 cents, but man, just to see the last three month turnaround and news and development and project building and, you know, just real world utility. Just so much going on, you know, we're just not, you know, you didn't see that before. This is. This isn't the movie right now a.

[Chip]

Lot of people complain. Oh, it's taking forever, right? You got to do it right, man. This is what I like about Hugo and the team. They're not messing around, they're not playing games. Put a lot of thought behind it. They're doing it right, stress test and everything, and everyone's complaining. But meanwhile, people with XRP got these free drops and they're still complaining. You just can't please some people. I don't get it. They should be thrilled.

[Jeff]

Should be this. And it's all about, you know, development and building and where we're going. It's not going to happen at this moment in time. Didn't happen before. Not the market. The market conditions were being tilled. It's like, you know, it's like if you're going to plant seeds and you're getting pumped, right? You get really, really pumped. And could you imagine all the YouTube fanboys out there making their videos? We planted the seeds. This crop is going to be amazing. Look at it for the prop. The crop is pumping. It's pumping. Look at this. We watered it. It's pumping. It's pumping. Good news. It rained. It's pumping, right? Meanwhile, none of the, none of the seeds have grown yet. Nothing's happened. But they're adding some fertilizer. You know, they're making sure that they're getting the water in there. They've done everything they need to do. You know, now it starts. Now they start growing and then the, then the FOMO comes out again, right? Look at this. You can see this. The little Seedlings, you know, they're all. You see a little bit of a plant growing, everybody's pumped again, and you get the FOMO all over again. It's until the plant grows, and then once it grows, you still need to make sure it's bearing fruit. Right. You got to kill it. You got to do all the right things.

[Chip]

Jeff, should we tell them?

[Jeff]

What's that? Am I going into history buying the first yeti auction? You are going in history for buying number three. That's right. You bought the second the other day. So we did one auction. We did two. This is the first in history because we're able to do two auctions. That was the second auction that, like, official. Official. Our second show that we did the first.

[Chip]

You joined, Correct. That's history.

[Jeff]

You joined. That's right. That's history. History in the making. You know, it's. It's super exciting. We sell it along with everything. We celebrate you.

[Chip]

We celebrate everything here. Celebrate good times.

[Jeff]

We don't even have to go to celebration.

[Chip]

I have to say, Jeff, you know, every once in a while, I'm surprised by what the White House official X account puts out. And sometimes I'm like, I have to look at the handle. Is like, that a parody? Is that the parody? Is that the real handle? Like, even I'm surprised. I'm like, I gotta check it. Double check it. Because I saw somebody else post something today.

[Jeff]

I'm like, is that how you spell white?

[Chip]

And it looked like A.I. i'm like, that's not really true. That looks like A.I. can't be right. And then I saw it on the official White House. Now this is it. So the White House posted this video. No sound, just a camera pans around, and it's the President's Wall of fame. Something very interesting about this President's Wall of Fame. Let's take a look. Okay. There you go. There's Reagan, there's Bush. There's Clinton, there's Bush Jr. There's Obama, there's Trump, and there's Biden. Well, there's the auto. Penny.

[Jeff]

The auto.

[Chip]

There's a picture of the auto pens with his signature.

[Jeff]

Oh, my God.

[Chip]

That's brilliant for Biden. And then, of course, you got. You got Trump on the side, but is that too much, man?

[Jeff]

Perfect. So perfect. Look at that. And even the. You know, as it transitions, you can see the transition of the shaft of the reflection and the glare off the glass.

[Chip]

Look at that. That is the. It's incredible. Like I said, Jeff, I was like, I was super Shocked. And then. Then I saw this. The White House.

[Jeff]

At least you made it to the podium, man. You get some champagne.

[Chip]

Yeah. You guys are. You guys are in an elite group, let's put it that way. An elite group. Hang on a second. Let me put this up. So I thought to myself, you know, when I first saw that, I was like, there's just. There's no way. There's all kinds of stuff that gets shared in the account that I'm just. I have to double, triple, quadruple check. So here's Trump looking at it at the auto pen right there. There he is. I don't know who this dude is, carrying his mail for him. I don't know. As a Navy dude, I don't know what he is. I don't know how he got in the picture, but no one knows what's going on with that dude. New at the White House. Then they posted this one, the clear shot of it. Then they posted the video, the White House account, Jeff. It's, It's, It's. It's very interesting, I have to say.

[Jeff]

Insane, man.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

Insane.

[Chip]

There's a lot of interesting. Well, Trump really killed it at. You know, here's the funny thing. Trump goes to the U N. Well, escalator breaks. It wasn't. It didn't. And they even joked on social. Wouldn't it be funny if those cleaners stopped working? Unfortunately, it's like, you know, the first lady's on it along with the President, and then ended up working.

[Jeff]

As soon as they get off it.

[Chip]

Susie, get on it. They, like, jumped on it, and then it, you know, as soon as they.

[Jeff]

Got off, it started working again.

[Chip]

Yeah, it's just. Then the teleprompter wouldn't work, so they thought they were going to embarrass Trump. Trump can go two hours. He doesn't. He doesn't need a teleprompter. I'm selling. He doesn't need a teleprompter.

[Jeff]

They had no idea who they were dealing with.

[Chip]

So here's the. Here's the video of the escalator stop working. Look at this. Good morning, Mr. President. There we go, up to the escalator. There's Melania. He lets her go first, gentlemen. They get on it and. Oh, stopped.

[Jeff]

And notice the other one's still working.

[Chip]

That guy's walking up the stairs. So they have to walk all the way up there, walk all the way up it. Trying to, like, you know, trying to embarrass Trump. Oh, look at that. It was working. Yeah, they get on that. That would have stopped working. The other one started working. They go back and forth.

[Jeff]

But Chad is right. An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs.

[Chip]

Right. But it's just the whole idea of just stopping it. You know, the other one didn't stop. The one they get on. As soon as they get on it, it stopped. I mean, come on.

[Jeff]

Secret Service definitely did not miss a beat. Everybody just kept going.

[Chip]

Oh, there it is. He just wants to get out of there and go deliver speeches. He doesn't want to be there. You know, it's like, just, let me just. Let me just. Let me just go do my thing here, man. I don't want to mess with you guys.

[Jeff]

Premium property in New York City, too.

[Chip]

So they should just burn it to the ground.

[Jeff]

Why do you guys think. What do you guys think about them talking about green energy?

[Chip]

Oh, we got that too.

[Jeff]

Where do you see green energy on crypto? As many companies, so it's different. You know, when they're using green energy to their advantage, they're using thermo, you know, direct from the ground. You can use volcano, you can use steam. Like if you go to Iceland, there's a lot of areas, obviously, volcanic power. Iceland has a lot of power derived from. From the steam and volcanic activity. If you get nuclear, you can get nuclear run. I mean, there's a lot of power coming out of nuclear, not necessarily quote, unquote, green, but where else are you going to, you know, power crypto? You know, you're not going to power it from solar, you're not going to power from wind, you're not going to power it from the ocean. It could be nuclear or it could be geothermal. Cash velocity. Yeah, that's what I meant to say. Geothermal. Geothermal. I was going to say thermonuclear, but geothermal, yeah, that's the. That's the word I was looking for.

[Chip]

By green, you'd better mean nuclear. Just saying clean energy, right? I like the way. I like the way you phrase that. That's beautiful.

[Jeff]

But the scam. The scam are the wind turbines that the Europeans so easily bought into. The solar, which California. I mean, you see people here in Florida. Do you think Florida would be loaded if you've been anywhere where there's solar farms, they're ugly. They break down quickly. You can't dispose of that product easily, can't recycle it easily. The wind turbines are killing birds by the thousands. You know, they. They're ugly. You go into. You drive through the Mountains. And all of a sudden you see a wind farm and it's such an eyesore. It's just disgusting. Doesn't look right. Then you go into the ocean. If they want to harness wave power, I mean, there's a way they could pro, potentially do that. I like geothermal. I think nuclear is a possibility. There's probably other ways to generate power, especially solar. I know Musk was onto roof tiles that were, you know, built with solar capability, you think in a lot of these sunshine states. But solar has advanced. It just hasn't advanced fast enough, you know, to get to where people are like, yeah, that, that makes a lot of sense. I can power if the moment you can power your house 100% off a playing car. But if I can power my house 100 without having to put those ugly solar panels on the roof that dig in and, and they decrease the, the viability of your roof structure because they have to, they have to drill them in. Then you can't clean under them. So you end up getting, you know, you get rot underneath your tiles that break down the paper, break down the wood, and you end up with leaks. So it just doesn't make any sense. I know there's a house in our neighborhood and he had got the panels. The roofing company said, or the solar panel company said, hey, if you get our solar panels at any point, if you have to replace your roof or do any roof repair, we'll come out for free and take them off and put them back on. Guess what? They went out of business. So then what does he do now? He has to find somebody that's going to come out and replant, take those off his roof. And it's expensive as hell to take, you know, hail. Yeah, Hail, hurricanes, wind. Natural gas is good. A lot of natural gas resources out there. Yeah, it's amazing. And look at the car via the electric vehicles. My dad got the, the Cadillac Optique. And it's fast built with a whole bunch of tech. I said, I said, well, what are some of the drawbacks? Number one, he's spending more per month on electric than he was on gas. It's more expensive to, to fill it. Number two, it's slow. He's in a condo, doesn't have availability in a garage to plug in his car at home. So he has to stop at a station and fill it. And that takes a long time. You have, you're down like 30 minutes to an hour plus, you know, it's not easy. So you're using more, you're Paying more and you can't fill it easily. What, where the, where's the advantage? I haven't.

[Chip]

Look at this crypto world. Today they came says, crypto up says they came to install the digital electric meters. If I use too much electricity on the net, I'm getting fined for it. Welcome to Belgium. Well, you know, in Florida, they have the meters. When I, When I, When I moved to my last two houses ago, they, the meter is on there. I saw the fpl, it was blinking and I saw, no, no, no, get that thing out of here. They go, I, I called them up. Florida Power and Light, it's. We use. It uses nuclear power from Turkey Point. And I go, get that. I want that thing removed. But, sir. But, sir, you get a discount. You get a discount. I'm like, I don't need a discount. I don't want it. We monitor your. I don't want you monitoring anything. Get it out, remove it, or I'm pulling it out myself. Two days later, they came and picked it up. I was like, they always try to sell it to you and like, well, if you can use it, then it'd be fantastic because you get. And the savings was ridiculous, Jeff, for them to monitor and be able to pull electricity from you and distribute it other places. I'm like, no, no, no, I don't, I don't want that. You don't have that choice when you go to, when you're in Belgium. So it doesn't really have that. Have that. Yeah, there was that. That was a great. I didn't pull that clip. But Trump offered to do it for 500 million, and then it cost three or four billion dollars. And then he said it had terrazzo, it didn't even have marble floors. He's like, it's just a crappy job. Overruns. And. But again, I hate to say it another time when Trump was right. Yeah, talk about flare time. Oracle. The guy is like incredible. Democracy, socialism, well, that is the democracy is the. There there in democracy you have not looking off a little guy like you. A democracy is run by tyrants. Democracy is the majority rules. That's the democracy.

[Jeff]

Al Gore, mental and environmental since 1975.

[Chip]

There you go. So here's the second one. Here's the second clip here on what Trump.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United nations offering to help in finalizing the deal.

[Chip]

Just called him out for being completely a pile of cow dung. The United nations were United we're supposed to be peace loving organization. No, not at all, Jeff.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

All I got from the United nations was.

[Chip]

I mean this might be. I thought. Do you remember he was in 2016, he called them all the globalists. He called it. This was even better. This was full, you know, postal in your throat, in your face, man. He just went right for the kill.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle. If the first lady wasn't in great shape, she would have fallen. But she's in great shape. We're both in good shape. We both stood and then a teleprompter that didn't work. This is. These are the two things I got from the United Nations. A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thanks very much.

[Chip]

He chokes on the human much.

[Jeff]

He's so on it.

[Chip]

Thank you very much. He says thank you very much. What? That's all I ever got. Reminds me of that T shirt. So and so went to Vegas and all I got with this stupid T shirt. Right. Those kind of. Was that in the vein of that type of thing? This next clip we got for you guys, he goes after the globalist, man. Dude, this is full man. Full on assault right here.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

This plain to see. If you want freedom, take pride in your country. If you want democracy, hold onto your sovereignty. And if you want peace, love your nation. Wise leaders always put the good of their own people and their own country first. The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations.

[Chip]

Damn right it does. You gotta love that, Jeff. I thought that was fantastic. And then here he is right here talking about open borders.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

Time to end a failed experiment.

[Chip]

Look at the looks on their faces.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

It's time to end.

[Chip]

Look at the looks on their faces. They're sitting there listening to the translation. Sitting there. Oh, I know, I see Rubio besent. Who else is over there?

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Chip]

Oh, there's. What's her name Will it the. She was chief of staff. I don't recognize anybody else over there. Called it right. Azerbaijan, Armenia. Yeah.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

A failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now. See, I can tell you.

[Jeff]

Look at that.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell. That's the greatest line in the failed experiment of open country.

[Chip]

I'm good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

I can tell you.

[Jeff]

Look at.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

I know you're good at this stuff. Why countries are going to hell.

[Chip]

Your countries Are going to hell. That's pretty in your face, man. You. He shoved it right up the old. I mean, man, Jeff, that's like, insane. Your countries are going to hell. Is this one here only?

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

Is the UN not solving the problems it should? Too often, it's actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It's uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined. The United nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders. In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States.

[Chip]

Just called them out, man. For funding the migration into the U.S. i mean, this. Why are they in New York to begin with? Chad said it earlier. Get him out of New York. Get the US out of the un. The UN out of New York as well.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

Said, think of that. The UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out. The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens. Can you believe that? On the way to infiltrate our southern border, millions of people came through that southern border. Just a year ago, millions and millions of people were pouring in. 25 million altogether over the four years of the incompetent administration.

[Jeff]

Almost 10 now.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

We have it stopped. Totally stopped.

[Jeff]

Look at all these countries.

[Chip]

I love looking at their faces.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

They're not even coming anymore because they know they can't get through.

[Jeff]

They've all been put in their place.

[Chip]

And meanwhile, look at Germany. Yeah, he's talking to Germany. France.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah.

[Chip]

El Salvador. Doesn't have to look. It doesn't care. They're freaking crushing it. But Germany's looking all around. Who? Us? You look, not us.

[Jeff]

I mean, these guys down here talking about somebody else.

[Chip]

Yeah, this dude's got a little smirk on his face. You don't know what's going on.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

Yeah, but what took place is totally unacceptable. The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them. In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime, and deplete our social safety net.

[Chip]

That's absolutely right, Smithson. Perfect. Right on. Yeah. They have, like, the worst countries sitting on the.

[Jeff]

On everything. On everything. Osmond said. Trump speech summary. Don't have to be politically correct all the time. Do what's right for your country, control your borders, period. There you go.

[Chip]

This one's a little bit longer, but I had a shorter clip. But I like that he included UN spokespeople and their propaganda. This is what I love John Doe says Osman. Well said. This fancy political talk does and nada. Trump calls it like it is. He's not perfect. No, he's perfectly imperfect. That's what the definition of a perfect. I saw something today that said, in order to be perfect, you have to be imperfect. There's no such thing as perfect. So that is Trump to a T.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

But we're not letting this happen in America. In 1982, the executive director of the United Nations Environmental Program predicted that by the year 2000, climate change would cause a global catastrophe. He said that it will be irreversible as any nuclear holocaust would be.

[Chip]

Oh, my God.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

This is what they said at the United Nations. What happened here?

[Chip]

We are fully calling out the United nations, man. This is an assassination of the United Nations.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

Another UN official stated in 1989 that within a decade, entire nations could be wiped off the map by global warming. Not happening. You know, it used to be global cooling. If you look back years ago, in the 1920s and the 1930s, they said global cooling will kill the world. We have to do something. Then they said global warming will kill the world. But then it started getting cooler. So now they could just call it climate change because that way they can't miss. It's climate change because if it goes higher or lower, whatever the hell happens, this climate change, it's the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world. Climate change, no matter what happens, you're involved in that. No more global warming, no more global cooling. All of these predictions made by the United Nations.

[Chip]

He's right. Because no matter what, you're involved in it, you're responsible. You're doing this wrong, you're doing that wrong. Meanwhile, the elites are flying all over the world and they're private boats and cars and their planes and. But somehow you're involved in it.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

The others, often for bad reasons, were wrong. They were made by stupid people that have cost their country's fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success. If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail. And I'm really good at predicting things. You know, they actually said during the campaign they had a hat, the best selling hat. Trump was right about everything. And I don't say that in a braggadocious way, but it's true. I've been right about everything. And I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail. And if you don't stop people that you've never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail. I'm the President of the United States, but I worry about Europe. I love Europe. I love the people of Europe and I hate to see it being devastated by energy and immigration. This double tailed monster destroys everything in its wake and they cannot let that happen any longer. You're doing it because you want to be nice, you want to be politically correct and you're destroying your heritage. They must take control strongly and immediately of the unmitigated immigration disaster and the fake energy catastrophe before it's too late. The carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions and they're heading down a path of total destruction. You know, the carbon footprint, it was a big, big thing a few years ago. I remember hearing about the carbon footprint. And then President Obama would get into Air Force One, a massive Boeing 747. And not a new one, an old one with old engines that spew everything into the atmosphere. He'd talk about the carbon footprint we must do. Then he'd get in and he'd fly from Washington to Hawaii to play a round of golf. And then he'd get back onto that big beautiful plane and it'd fly back and he'd talk about again global warming and a carbon footprint. It's a con job at extreme cost and expense. Europe reduced its own carbon footprint by 37%. Think of that. Congratulations, Europe. Great job. You cost yourself a lot of jobs, a lot of factories closed, but you reduced the carbon footprint by 37%. However, for all of that sacrifice and much more, it's been totally wiped out and then some by a global increase of 54%, much of it coming from China and other countries that are thriving around China, which Now produces more CO2 than all the other developed nations in the world. So all of these countries are working so hard on the carbon footprint, which is nonsense, by the way. It's nonsense. You know, it's interesting, in the United States we have still radicalized environmentalists and they want the factories to stop. Everything should stop. No more cows. We don't want cows anymore. I guess they want to kill all the cows. They want to do things that are just unbelievable. And you have it too. But you know, we have a border strong and we have a shape. And that shape doesn't just go straight up. That shape is amorphous when it comes to the atmosphere. And if we had the most clean air, and I think we do, we have very clean air. We have the cleanest air we've had in many, many years. But the problem is that other countries like China, which has air that's a little bit rough, it blows. And no matter what you're doing down here, the air up here tends to get very dirty because it comes in from other countries where their air isn't so clean. And the environmentalists refuse to acknowledge that same thing with garbage. In Asia, they dump much of their garbage right into, into the ocean. And over about a one week and two week journey, it flows right past Los Angeles. You've seen it. Massive amounts of garbage, almost too much to do anything about flowing past Los Angeles, past San Francisco. And then somebody would get in trouble because he dropped a cigarette on the beach. The whole thing is crazy. The primary effect of these brutal green energy policies has not been to help the environment, but to redistribute manufacturing and industrial activity from developed countries that follow the insane rules that are put down to polluting countries that break the rules and are making a fortune.

[Chip]

Yeah, I mean, it's kind of long, but he pretty much nailed it. And the whole speech was pretty much like that, Jeff. The whole thing was him just, you know, non stop. But I'll tell you how it ended. This is how it ended.

[Narrator/Clip Speaker]

This is really a beautiful vision. Let us all work together to build a bright, beautiful planet. A planet that we all share. A planet of peace and a world that is richer, better and more beautiful than ever before. That can happen. It will happen. It will happen and I hope it can happen. And start right now, right at this moment, we'll turn it around. We're going to make our countries better, safer, more beautiful. We're going to take care of our people. Thank you very much. It's been an honor. God bless the nations of the world. Thank you very much. Bye bye.

[Jeff]

See you done.

[Chip]

Look proud.

[Jeff]

Time for you guys to leave.

[Chip]

Get out the port. There it is. THEY CLAP they didn't just sit there on their hands. I mean, it was pretty good. Jeff who says the tax on carbon is the most insidious form of slavery devised? It's a tax on all life that has ever existed, all life that is extant today, and all life that will exist in the future. Yeah, 100%. These are, all of these things are just clever. I don't know if they're clever. But what you're pointing out, who is, they're just new forms of taxation, clear and simple, because it never gets solved, it never changes. It's like he was saying, yeah, you reduced it by 37%, but what does that matter when you got the bigger biggest polluter in the entire world? But this whole thing, you know, whether it's the, whether it's the climate change, you can buy carbon credits because you know to offset your carbon use. Don't do anything. It's not offsetting carbon usage. You're basically being taxed. All this stuff is around money generating taxes. So I almost can make a prediction that, that when we get to that tax hearing next week, the Democrats are going to start talking about how illicit crypto is. And because it's so illicit and so scammy, we got a tax the crap out of it. No one will be surprised. But thank you for that. Who's appreciate that. That's a good observation, right? 100%. Do you know the other insidious form of slavery? It's called central banks. You know, it's called here in the United States called the Fed Federal Reserve. It's not federal and there's zero reserves. Okay. It's a money printing machine. And that's one of the things the tariffs are going to offset what Trump's trying to do. And again, don't know if he'll be successful. What he's attempting to do is for anybody that makes $150,000 a year or less, he wants to tax, to be outside of the country, not tax the people. And he wants those people to keep what they earn and not get taxed. Because before 1913, that's exactly how the United States government was funded. So a lot of governments were funded with, with tariffs. They're like, it wouldn't work. It's going to blow up. Working beautifully, better than they had hoped. It's a cost of doing business. So there you have it, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Yeah. And the whole thing, if we look at the way plants are absorbing, absorbing CO2, so CO2 levels, I think they're registering at like 400 plus parts per million. I think it was an increase. Our normal standards were probably around 200, maybe 100 plus years ago. Maybe it was less, more, I don't, you know, but the thing is, if you look at plants, they need somewhere between like 800 to a thousand parts per million of CO2 in their environment they can survive on. And I'm looking through all this different research, between 150 to 200. They can look at the minimal mean, you know, of what's required. But we're talking about, you know, massive proliferation of plant life. If you keep cutting out CO2, you know, then you, it's also potentially detrimental to, to plant life. And if you can see plants. I think the biggest issue that you have in a lot of the big cities is that they destroy all the parks, they get rid of all the plants. Then you have cement jungles. Of course you're gonna have pollution and a D and an increase of CO2 in a cement jungle. Why is New York City so filthy? Because most of it is a cement jungle. But look at Central Park. Look how beautiful Central park is. And then you start seeing that you have a lot of green areas. And if you look at some of the newer modern cities that get built up, there's a lot of green space and you need green space. You can't live in a cement jungle. You go to parts of it. I haven't been to China, only, you know, stories that I've heard from people that have traveled over there for work. And there are days that you're in your hotel and you literally can't see out of your window because of the smog and pollution at the levels, because of all the crap they just. And it's all about controlling that it's not cutting out all CO2 and all of a sudden choking all plant life. You know, how about add more plant life, figure out the natural balance. Let us use our fossil fuels, let us use our natural gas, let us use our nuclear. Let's look at all these different ways of, of power. Let's look at geothermal. There's a lot of great ways, but these leftists, they're so like elitist and they believe that their way is the greatest way. So they create all these cars with all these batteries that you can't get rid of. And the battery, you put a battery in the ground, it's going to be there for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. And all the chemicals and pollutant that's going to leak out from it. And think about the mining of the cobalt or whatever else is needed for these batteries and think about those countries, the people that are mining it, you know, so now you're destroying more, you know, you're destroying more area and you're putting people's lives at danger, at risk to go and dig for this stuff. And, and now what, so, you know, so what are, what are their, you know, ev battery powered cars? Hey, it's Great. You want a battery powered car. It's awesome. You want it because it's fast, it looks cool. A lot of tech on the inside. Awesome. What the governments have done by forcing people to get ev, talk about, you know, flipping your electric grid that isn't prepared for powering all these evs. Now you have EVS all over the place. You're force feeding, you know, forcing people to buy EVs. You're forcing people onto wind power, you're forcing people onto solar power. You know, it's such a stupid mechanism of government power to force people into something that you think is right. Just like forcing people to get those injections. That was 100 wrong then and it's 100 wrong now. On a limited basis. It was, it was right from a political like thought control way. When Trump, you know, was able to get it into warp speed and release it because he knew all these elitist leftists were going to try to make sure that people never came out of their houses without a path of, of, you know, of, of at least some recovery, you know, and having some pharmaceutical. But he didn't want people to be forced to get it. Then the leftist took over. They forced people, they undermined real science, they undermined the medical community, they politicized medicine. Doctors became political pundits, you know, towing the, the communist line and injecting people and forcing people to be injected. Schools were indoctrinating kids. All these things happen. And with this elitist mentality, all these technologies, hey, they're great. You know, I don't mind wind power. You want to have a turbine in the, in your backyard, that's your prerogative. Don't force me to use your wind turbine if I don't want to and have a thousand of them, you know, creating an eyesore when I drive down the road. Or force me to put solar panels on my roof with technology that isn't just quite there yet. Or force me to drive an EV that takes me three hours to charge. And so I have to go sit someplace in a gas station for, you know, 45 minutes just to get a trickle charge so I can go half my distance. I mean, I want in and out, five minutes in and out of the gas station, I'm done. When you get it to that level, then we can talk about. The market will dictate. They, they seem to forget about market, dictate trends. You know, if people want it, it's good if people start buying. As soon as you start choking a technology though, if you're going to Choke electric development over fossil fuels, then that's not right either. Don't try to choke them out. Let them. Let them grow. If people want it, they want it. They don't want it, they don't want it. And in the meantime, let's say it's going to take us 30 years to go to a different source away from fossil fuels. Let's say that took 30 years. The leftist ideologues thought they could force people to do it in five to 10. They figure if they force you to buy it, you have to convert. But the technology wasn't there yet. And it's the same thing. You look at all these modern vehicles, chips, and you go in the modern vehicle, and they have all these cheap touchscreens, but they look really cool. Everybody's enamored by touch screens. And then you have to go change your radio station or turn up your. Your thermostat, your. Your temperature gauge or move your mirrors or whatever. You're like, oh, there's no buttons. So now the trend is, oh, guess what? People didn't want touch screens in their cars because you're taking their attention off the road. They want tactile sensation in their vehicle. They want to be able to turn knobs, you know, and so now they're bringing knobs back. It's like these. The mentality. I don't know what's going on with people. Like, it's just a. Such a mental cluster that's. That's gone on over the past number of years because these leftist ideologues. It's my thought, my rant. What were we talking about? Crypto. That's right. Flair. Oh, you're muted.

[Chip]

I was saying, look at this right here. This is fantastic. You could go for hours on this, Jeff. Like, hours. Just, like, drive around constantly.

[Jeff]

Is that AI or is that for real? That's awesome.

[Chip]

No, some guy's driving around, he's got it plugged in so he can constantly drive, you know? You know, this guy, I've always seen this picture of the generator in the back. So the guy gets stuck somewhere, he's got the generator. He can just power up in three hours or whatever.

[Jeff]

Can you drive while it's on Generator?

[Chip]

I don't know what this is, dude. I don't know what this guy's got in the back of this thing. I don't know if that's a generator sticking in there. I don't know what the hell it is. A bottle of vodka. I don't know what that is. I really don't know, man.

[Jeff]

And the thing is, I believe, I believe if you dig into some of you, someone probably knows about already. There was a guy that invented an engine that ran on water. And I think he ended up getting killed. I think they killed him. But he was, he was, he built an engine that ran on regular water. And I think, you know, there's a whole new resurgence. I saw a car that was, that was powered by hydrogen. You know, it is just a, a swap out tank. It took two seconds. Boom. Take a tank out, put a tank in and it just came out of the back. It's a long canister. You can pull up a thing. But imagine just water.

[Chip]

Do you want to see how you.

[Jeff]

People do that too?

[Chip]

I've got the one I could go to, Elon Musk. I'll say. You want to know how you can sell twice as many cars overnight? Put a gas, make a hybrid as a start or make a gas powered one. If you make a hybrid, look, you can never run. You can always get gas. Right? The gas. And I've rented these hybrids, you know, when I travel and stuff, man, two days into things like it's, it's running the battery. I mean, you have to charge them overnight at some point. But they go a lot further because it's using the power from the engine when it's running on gas. That's gonna. And it's constantly going between there, which is a fantastic thing. Here's a disturbing trend that I wanted to show. And this is just. Man, I don't know. I'm trying to get this guy on the show. I've reached out to him a couple times, so I can't get enough of his videos. But look at this. Okay, so this is a shocking trend that's on. This is a TikTok trend where pregnant, pregnant women are taking Tylenol while pregnant because Trump.

[Jeff]

So don't take it 28 weeks pregnant.

[Chip]

You know what?

[Jeff]

I'm gonna take some metabol.

[Chip]

Gonna work.

[Jeff]

Like a charm, and my baby won't have autism.

[Chip]

Shocking, isn't it?

[Jeff]

How does she know?

[Chip]

Because Trump can came out and cited studies linking it to autism. Because Trump said that they're now taking Tylenol who are pregnant. They want to prove Trump wrong. Oh, he's citing studies to put your own child's life in danger, risk its health because a man used. You didn't like said something and you want to prove him wrong. Tylenol, the company even said we do not recommend taking it during pregnancy. And you have women on camera Taking it during pregnancy. Should they not get visits from child services? Imagine having a mother like this. I mean, yeah, that's some mental illness right there.

[Jeff]

You're pregnant and like, even, like mentally ill.

[Chip]

Even if you thought they say, well, you know what, I don't know, maybe he could be right, he could be a complete quit. But I'm not testing them on my baby's health. I mean, it's just insane, these people.

[Jeff]

The possibility, the possibility that whatever's in. And the Tylenol of today isn't the Tylenol before either. You know, whatever they put in this stuff.

[Chip]

Well, the other. Here's the other thing. They had failed Mayor Sadiq Khan. They asked him, Jeff, they asked him about Trump. What do you think he said? You can get, you can fill in the blanks, what he's going to tell you.

[Jeff]

About this Muslim mayor who leads a liberal, multicultural, progressive, successful city. That means I appear to be living rent free inside Donald Trump's head. Are those comments Islamophobic? Listen, when people say things, when people act in a certain way, when people behave in a certain way, you've got to believe them.

[Chip]

So you're saying he is Islamophobic?

[Jeff]

I think, you know, President Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic, and he's Islamophobic.

[Chip]

That's it. Geez. Holy cow. Now, let's take a. Let's take a look at lovely London he's talking about. Let's take a look. Look at this. Look at the squalor. Look at the dirt, the garbage on the streets. People are sitting outside with tables and chairs in squalor. I don't even know if this is London, but it just gives you an idea of just like, what happens.

[Jeff]

This might not be Pakistan.

[Chip]

This might be Pakistan.

[Jeff]

I don't know, might be garage. It could be like a license plate, I don't know.

[Chip]

But it's just like. But this is. This is what it turns into, though, Jeff. This is what it ends up being.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Chip]

Garbage everywhere. You know, it's funny, when I was in for the proper party, there were parts of New York that looked exactly like this. And guess who I saw lots of illegals all over the place. And it was garbage stacked up, garbage on the side of the road. It was. It was a shame, you know, that whole thing about that London, the state of London. There you go. You know what's sad about the city con? That mayor? I think they only started that in 2000, if I'm not mistaken. When did they, like, they never had the concept of a mayor before. I think it was since 2000.

[Jeff]

I don't know. One of these guys would know. They're over there.

[Chip]

Yeah, you guys, please tell us. I don't know. I don't think that's like. I don't think that's been going on for 50 or 100 years.

[Jeff]

Whose crypto is old enough to remember it? East and west. East London. West London, yeah.

[Chip]

Good luck now, man.

[Jeff]

Is East London kind of the no go zone? Is that what it's like?

[Chip]

I remember in 2000, like, being like, totally, like, what is going on in London? Because I went in the 90s, and then by the time 2000 rolled around, I was shocked at what I saw.

[Jeff]

Hi, lady. You're either pregnant or very fat. Hi, lady. You're either pregnant or very fat.

[Chip]

I am pregnant.

[Jeff]

How would you like your child to start a rocket company?

[Chip]

That would be great, I guess.

[Jeff]

Then try new Tylenol Autism strength. The only pain reliever guaranteed to put your child on the spectrum. This fast acting Tylenol quickly goes through your bloodstream and somehow, through some unknown process no one can quite explain, gives your child autism.

[Chip]

Are there any side effects?

[Jeff]

Well, there's the. The autism. Oh, Tylenol Autism strength. It may or may not give your kid autism. There's like a correlation or something. Always on it so fast.

[Chip]

The P is always. They're always crushing it. The B is on top of it, man. Anyway, we got a giveaway to do here. We have a giveaway, Jeff. We have three yetis. We have three. We have a giveaway or.

[Jeff]

No, I didn't make a song for the giveaway.

[Chip]

All right.

[Jeff]

I made a song for the. The auction.

[Chip]

Then we're good. We'll just do the auction, then we'll be back.

[Jeff]

Auction Wednesday. Be back on Saturday with a giveaway.

[Chip]

There you go, people.

[Jeff]

No giveaway.

[Chip]

There you go. Let me. Yes. So speaking of the B. Speaking of the B, Jeff, let's just get through. There's a couple of these bees that I wanted to get to. But look at this. You know, Kamala has been pushing this new book. She has. She's been out there on talk circuits and basically the bee got it right. Kamala does Speaking toward remind nation why Trump is president. The B. How about this one here? More winning Trump to demolish the UN Building and replace it with the UFC arena.

[Jeff]

That would be a great idea.

[Chip]

Sounds awesome.

[Jeff]

And. And have all the. All the guys at the UN Fight at the ufc.

[Chip]

But they have to Fight real UFC fighters. I would love that even more.

[Jeff]

I'll let them fight themselves.

[Chip]

How about this? The Nazi rally, which was the Charlie Kirk. The Nazi rally inspires millions to forgive and love their enemies. Some Nazi rally man turning point. And the nation had to reset the days since the leftist terror attacks. Counter back to zero. Holy cow. The Bee man. Here's a new update for the Democrat donkey. It's now holding a sniper rifle.

[Jeff]

Oh, my God, that's too much.

[Chip]

And chump is playing 4D chess. He. He slammed the boring ratings challenge show the Apprentice. And wow, NBC's bringing it. Just look great. The beat never misses, man. This one, this one. This one is so perfect for anybody. You guys sport lovers out there, Sports football lovers, whether it's American football, regular football. Tell me if this doesn't ring true. Dad empties dishwasher so he has an excuse to watch 19 hours of football this weekend.

[Jeff]

There you go.

[Chip]

There it is then.

[Jeff]

Got it. You got to do that.

[Chip]

Got to do it. Look at the. Hey, I emptied the dishwasher.

[Jeff]

And I remember if, you know, she didn't see it. If she didn't see it, it didn't happen.

[Chip]

Yes, you did get the YETI of the day in a badass cool one too, man. That is freaking great. So that is it, people.

[Jeff]

I like the brute.

[Chip]

London is unrecognizable. Yeah. I was like, somebody was a Londoner. Was. Or I don't know if he's in London, but someone from the UK was ripping into me, like, what do you know about this uk? Like, hey, man, I just cover it in geopolitics to give my opinion from American perspective. Do I know it like you do? No. Do I understand Parliament have no CL clue. I was going to play Margaret Thatcher, who saw all this coming. She predicted all this was going on with labor. This is where it's going, where it's headed. I was going to play it. It's a little bit dry. A little bit dry. But again, she. She nailed it. But what are you gonna do? Osmond says, who would win the Hunger Games if it was done in a U. N. Building's doors locked up. Trump somehow would find his way out.

[Jeff]

That's there.

[Chip]

Somehow would. Yeah. It's a great movie, man. The president walked in the UN Building in New York City. Imagine a time when the next thing that happens is fight. And everyone runs through the halls.

[Jeff]

Trump would leave. Let them fight. Fight it out.

[Chip]

I like the Hunger Games. That's a great version of it. Well, that's all we got, guys.

[Jeff]

If you win, you can leave and go home. All right, before we go, today's show, of course, brought to us by who? Brought to us by who? I don't know. Let's find out.

[Chip]

Tonight's show is brought to you by Badass Yeti's Coffee. Is it any good? Nah, it's fucking great. Forged in the mountains, brewed for legends. Badass yetiscoffee.com. we are out of here as well, people. It was great knowing you. Appreciate you guys. That's all we got tonight. Chip and Jeff. Oh, see you on Saturday.
