The winningest winner of all time on the Badass Yetis. The Badass Yetis. So that's always good to see that as well. And Jeff, as we start this weekend off, it's been a lot of craziness going on. There's so much crazy going on, like the last couple of weeks. September's been an interesting month. You know, it's been a very interesting month. I will. I will share just a personal story, but you know, this. You know, the. You know, for me, the last two Septembers have not been great. For me, last September is my mom's funeral. This September is my dad's funeral. And all I say is next September better be very uneventful, because that's not. Those are two back to backs that are not very, very good. But one thing that I did come across, my dad, when I had a conversation with him, my dad just passed and I had a conversation with him, and he said he was all excited. He called me up. I want to say, like, maybe May or June. He's like, hey, man, I'm really excited. He got me a Bible. And he's like, this. He goes, I got to this Bible and it's signed. And I was like, cool, dad. What. I go, why don't. I'll come down and pick it up in person, you know? He goes, well, no. You sure you don't want me to ship it to you? I'm like, no, no, no. I'll. I'm gonna come down and I'll grab it in person. And it's by Lee Greenwood, if you guys know. And you know, during the. The Charlie Kirk thing, you know, he was there singing live, you know, proud to be an American. Right? So my dad got me this Bible. And unfortunately, I picked it up in person, but it wasn't with. From my dad. But this is it right here. It's right there.
A
Oh, cool. Very cool.
B
And then he personally signed it back in here. Got my dad's copy too. But there, you see, he wrote out Proud to be an American there and signed it Greenwood. There it is.
A
Those are the things that you keep. You treasure and the memory that you have connected with. That is.
B
Yeah, that was a. That was a very cool thing. And so now I got. So now I have two, because I have my dad's as well and my brother has one. But it's kind of cool, interesting and weird, the timing and all that kind of stuff too. And yeah, he. He. Yeah, it Was. It was a cool gesture. You know, you're right. It was kind of a cool thing. Would have liked to have gotten it in person. But the fact that it was there was kind of a neat thing. Moving on. Moving on here. We got a lot of stuff break down and talk about here.
A
Rod hail coming in from Rod's here.
B
That's an interesting thing. Scapoose that must have some sort of native American ready is going. Thinking of that. Thinking of badass yeti do. I gotta get the thing cranked up over here. Start collecting the yetis. Let's see.
A
Justin's dog woke him up this morning, so he figured he'd tune in. The dog knows. Dog knows.
B
Justin, listen. The dog knows, man. The dog's bigger fan than you are, Justin. Let's face it. He probably likes the Chiefs more too. I don't know about your dog. My dog loves watching tv. He loves watching the Bills games with me. He just stares at the T. I don't know what he's doing. If he's just mesmerized by the colors. He sits there and like, you know, there'll be like a pass and they'll like. It'll be like a close up. I got this like, you know, 87 inch TV and he'll be like this. He'll watch it and he'll look at it and I just like. I don't know if he's. I don't know what he's doing, but he. He seems like he's watching TV. He'll watch for like 10 minutes at a time and he gets bored. I don't even.
A
That's great.
B
Then he's off. This is the scalp Aussie from Scapoose. Scapoose.
A
Scapoose.
B
So it's always an interesting sort of a thing. Here we go. Here we go, people.
A
Chip, here's my. This is. This is all I've got now. No more dog. Just.
B
What is that?
A
I think you can see it. Can you see it?
B
It looks like some kind of a bird. I don't know. It's. I don't know what the hell it is. I can't tell what it is.
A
I'll have to see if I can send it and I'll share it. This used to be. This fish is. It's a goldfish.
B
Oh, goldfish.
A
Yeah, it's a fancy goldfish. But he's been changing colors. It went from pure black and now he's turning gold.
B
That's because he's a goldfish. That's Just what he's supposed to do.
A
Yeah, but it's his job. It's his job to change colors.
B
I've never seen him change colors, though.
A
No, it's bizarre. You can't see it.
B
Is he on the bottom there? Is that him? I see him.
A
The gold, you have to send it. I'll share it somehow.
B
Well, you know what you do on it? You know what you do on a Mac? You can copy it and then paste it into a browser window right from your phone right to your Mac.
A
Yeah, I can't. I can't do that.
B
I know.
A
Well, I could. I actually don't have my phone connected to my computer purposely. Too. Too much of a pain.
B
Energy. Dogs have human personalities. Absolutely. Believe this. Yeah. They're phenomenal dogs. Yep. And I've got a golden doodle. And those dogs, I've never had. I've never had a doodle before. My brother's had three or four of them, so we got this doodle. These things, like, they will never leave your side, man. And they. What they can do with their paws is insane, man. It's a. Almost like hands, these dogs, the way they. The way they use their paws.
A
It's amazing.
B
Oh, look. Justin says she's getting old, having trouble moving around. She's. And hurting. She helped him. Pain. Oh, man, that's. So we all have to go through those dog owners, man. It's a horrible thing to watch your dogs. Yeah. My dog Max, he's a. Unfortunately, He's a about 11, and we think he's about 11 and a half. 12 years old. He's starting to get thinner and skinnier and more finicky on the eats and just moving slower. Having a tough time with stairs. You know what I mean? Yeah. Oh, Justin says, don't get me started on the Chiefs. Not the start I want. Oh, man. Don't worry, dude. The Chiefs are gonna bounce back. See if you're worthy back this week. That's good. Yeah. That's the other thing, too, is you got. You got so many guys out. It's. It's the biggest problem you got. It's like. But everyone's, like, freaking out and stuff. I'm like, the. Dude, don't. It's the Chiefs, okay. They're like, oh, they lost three games in a row. So what? They come back. They know how to win, man. That's the whole point. Sammy just turned nine. Yeah. Yeah, That's. It's. What? You know? I know. I feel like Max is going to be, like, his last year coming into his last year, 20, 26. It'll probably be his last year. So it's. It's always a bummer. Always a bummer. Let's go to this here, guys.
A
No dogs since Julius. That's it.
B
Another dog.
A
I don't know. It's been quiet here, but it's a lot easier without a dog.
B
It is a lot easier.
A
I can't believe I'd ever say that. I've always had dogs. I've never not had a dog.
B
There's routine, too. The routine of getting up and walking and just always being. You know, there's a routine that goes with being with your dogs that attended to them and feeding them. And then it takes a long time to wean off that. It takes months. And before we got Max, I was like, I'm done, you know, because I have my dogs, Asia and India, and they both had to put them both down. And I like two. I want two years without a dog. And then it was my wife, who's not a dog person, that's found Max. And then we ended up getting Max, and he's a bull terrier, you know, the target dog, an Akita. Akitas are cool.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
Akitas are cool dogs. Yeah, they're cool. Cool dogs.
A
You got. You met Julius?
B
Oh, yeah. Julius was freaking insane, dude. We used to run around the damn house like that. He had so much spunk for a beagle, dude. That dog had, like, a lot of energy, man.
A
Even when he got older, you know, 24, seven. Yeah, even older. That's what slowed him down because he was nuts and his brain wanted to go and he couldn't go. He's in too much pain. Yeah, he was crazy up to the end.
B
That sucks. You know, watching the dog. Having to put a dog down is the worst thing, man.
A
That was the worst drive I think I've ever done. He was in so much pain. Driving him to the vet, that was brutal. Whereas T Bone walked off into the lake one night and took care of things. We were going to take him to the vet that week. Then he decided somehow, mysteriously got out of the house and ended it himself. I don't even know how he got out of the house, honestly. Everything was locked and he ended up disappeared. Went looking for him. It took me five, six hours until I found him. It was probably like 11, 12 o' clock at night. And I finally found him in the lake, but took his. You know, it's dark, so he knew.
B
He knew.
A
Oh, yeah. He walked off and he could barely walk at that Point. But he walked off in the lake and that was the great. That was the best thing he could have done.
B
He went out with dignity in his own terms.
A
Yeah. Yep.
B
Gotta love it.
A
Yeah, he was old too.
B
You have a pit and a Chihuahua. That's an interesting mix. That's an interesting mix. I bet that chihuahua was more ferocious than the pit bull. Right, right. The pit bulls. Let's get rid of that Damn Chihuahua's are. They're in those for little dogs, man. They got a lot of going on and thank you very much. They can be freaking for the support. They're always coming in, man. Why is it always rough? Rican is always the guy. Why is it he's always the guy that comes in here? Big support, dependable, dependable, always on there. OG Beautiful man, Beautiful. Let's get into some news here. Crypto.
A
The dogs like that. If you own a rot bit Doberman, German shepherd learn how to massage their hips, shoulders and spine. It definitely makes a lot of sense. That's a lot of the German shepherds are supposed to especially get hip dysplasia. So you got to make sure that you. Yep.
B
The chef, they all get it for sure. Yeah, that's good, good advice. So today on Dog Talk we're gonna, we're gonna now transition into what's the best food to feed your. No, we're not gonna do that. We're gonna go into some crypto news. Crypto. Ready, put this up here. And this is amazing too. So many collaborations and she's absolutely right. There have been so many collabs going on. It's great to see projects working together. Difficult to keep up with all the XRP, you know DeFi developments. We've seen Strobe Finance announcing they're fully decentralized peer to peer providing native XRPL yield, working with Midas reward assets and also the MXRP to make it happen. And they, and this is interesting, I mean it's kind of hard to think about double digit yield on Strobe with XRP deposits native on the XRPL and the deposits are non custodial and the APY is funded by borrowers fully decentralized peer to peer native XRP yield. What are you waiting for? Big thanks to our friends at Midas who awesome new yield bearing token. The MXRP which has been well received and doing extremely well has provided Strobe users with this amazing opportunity. The APY is dynamic and subject to change. And of course it's subject to change. I mean right now you got. It's saying like 15, but anything over really 5% is pretty interesting. So it's probably going to oscillate between 6 and 12, 15. It's going to go up and down.
A
Seems too high.
B
That seems very yield. Yeah, yeah. And, and not necessarily sustainable, which is why you're going to see the big fluctuation there. So, you know.
A
That'S what got some of the other projects in trouble, you know, paying out too high of a yield.
B
Yeah. Jim D. Saying it's interesting to observe the teaming relationships developing amongst the different species of crypto tokens. Utility based crypto or digital community relationship based crypto. Yeah, it's, it's sort of a new world we're in because we didn't used to see a lot of that. A lot of it has to do with the interoperability, but a lot of it has to do with, you know, mutual benefit where they're, you know, strobe is using the mxrp, you know, token that makes all this possible. So you got a lot of different, a lot of different levers happening at the same time. Elliot Terra put this post up, which I was happy to see. Looks like the House formally sent the Clarity act to the Senate last Thursday where it was referred to the Banking GOP Committee. And it comes after the House had voted to retroactively combine this is Tom Emmer's anti CBDC bill into Clarity last week. And it makes sense. Right. You don't necessarily. Sometimes I'm against combining too many things, but when it, when it comes to the Clarity, it's just like part of the crypto bill in itself. Like, you shouldn't have a cbdc. It kind of goes against the whole spirit of decentralization because it's completely centralized. Like, oh, don't worry, the government's not going to. Sure. You know, if you think about Reagan's, what he said, the seven most scariest words in the English language. I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
A
I'm here to help you.
B
I'm here. Sure. Okay. Yeah, I can't wait for that. Again, nothing major, just part of the process that the Senate's considering the bill alongside its own draft. So I'm happy to see this. This is a good, good thing, Jeff. Things are moving around. I see a lot of stuff about the sec. I see all these posts about the sec. Oh, the SEC is meeting with this and crypto mom's doing speeches and you know what? You know what? Know what? It matters.00. Because once the crypto legislation is passed. The CFTC is going to be the main governing body. Listen, the SEC will almost have. Unless it's a security, they'll have nothing to do with crypto. Why they're talking about crypto, it's for some reason nobody ever learns you got the left in power. And everyone hates when they take the mantle of like, we're going to interpret our rules and then the right comes in and says, oh no, we're going to make up new rules and they're going to be better. I'm like, sorry. Either you are enforcing rules that were created by Congress. You're not. And right now there are no clear rules. So you making up rules is no better than the last sec because it's positive. Doesn't mean anything, Jeff. And this drives me insane that the same people that were bitching about the old SEC are now thrilled that the new SEC is going to make up rules. Does that bother you at all? I mean, it just, it drives me insane. Like, do you not.
A
We went from one to the next. Yeah, I mean, well, part of the, part of the issue, we still have the unelected bureaucrats that are trying to run things, you know, and I, if you really, if you boil it down to the, the simplistic form, all of these government employees are lifers, right? The unelected bureaucrats get put into position of power. They take their power seriously because it's power. All the other people that work there are employees, they want to retire out of government, you know, and so from their perspective, the politicians come and go, the unelected bureaucrats come and go. And so the SEC as a body will look at things as though they're in charge. So they look at Congress kind of as a, as a guest in Washington. And things are, are. The whole narrative has been flipped upside down for too many years. And even with the, you know, depletion of the swamp, the swamp creatures are the employees for the most part, because they're there for so long. And, you know, and, and when you get to a point where you get that ultimate mindset of power, that ultimate power, power is going to corrupt. And so an absolute power will corrupt absolutely. And that's exactly what we have seen for way too many years. I'm not saying that all people working for government are going to be bad because some people, you know, that's their job, you know, they, that's the path they chose. That's where they got hired. Not going to fault them for that. But yet there's still going to be that body of People that are there for the power, they think they have the power. They don't think that they answer to the will of the people and the unelected bureaucrats especially, they've been, they've been a place there. So they think they're so above everything, you know, and again not all of them, but that's been the typical predominant mindset for way too many years. And then they again, the politicians come and go so they're not going to answer to them. You know, they're the ones running the show. That's problematic, you know, for many different reasons. And you're seeing the outcome. The SEC is still going to make SEC type decisions. They think they want the power of the crypto, they want the power of the purse and they're going to fight for it. Whether they're right or wrong, they're going to fight for it because it's power. And I think that's.
B
I don't like any of these government agencies to be honest with you and. Right. I want to weigh in on some comments here because I've got a different opinion. So it's always good to get difference of opinion here on the change out. So let's check in with what you think as well. XRP plumbing says Ellie Terror. Remember she did not even come to Ripple's defense. She refused to talk about xrp. She can't be believed. She's already bought and paid for. Don't trust anything out of her mouth. Personal. I disagree with that statement. I'll tell you why. Because it was Ellie Terrett who authored this article that basically put XRP and John Deaton and the whole case on the map. This was the landmark. This was probably the seminal piece written about the SECV Ripple. It was, it says Ellie Tara and Charlie Gasparino. But ellie probably wrote 98% and Charlie probably edited it. I'm not saying he didn't have influence but the way this is written is very good. I urge you to go back and read it. Regulatory Ripple and Investigation SEC Ripple Case and its Consequences for. For Cripple. This laid everything out beautifully for the very first time. Nobody in any media was talking about this. It was Ellie Terrett that brought this. There also another interesting note. First podcast she ever did in the crypto space. Jeff, where was that?
A
I think it might have been right here on the chain. Right here, right here.
B
And see, we've had conversations about this. She goes, you guys are the first ones that brought me on. Absolutely. John Deaton as well. But this is a very good account it's very detailed. It lays out all the facts. Look at this. You've never seen anything this coming from the media at all. Look at this. I'm still scrolling. It's the seminal piece on it, so I disagree with that. And, and you know, you can say what you want, but Ellie at her when she was. She's a lot different now because she's crypto focused, because she's doing a podcast is crypto focus. When you're working for a major media outlet, you have to. You're not supposed to be cheering for anything. You're supposed to be reporting. You're supposed to. You're not. It's not her job to be coming to defense of anybody she can talk about one way or the other. But she defended, she laid out the facts in this article. That puts Ripple in a really good spotlight along with xrp. Look at this. Look at this article, guys. This is what. This was a major turning point, in my opinion, right here. That was a major turning point. And thanks to her putting that out, I have a lot of, you know, great things to say. And Jim D. Followed it up with XRP Plumber. Think you're onto it, brother. All the politicians are opened and bought. Well, she's not a politician, but I will say this, and I want to hear your, your thoughts, Jeff, but I don't think politicians are necessarily bought. I think they're compromised. I think they're blackmailed. Yeah, compromise is probably the better word for it because a lot of them have great intent. A lot of them still have great intent. But if you see what ends up happening, just look at the governor of Georgia. When you go after and you kill your daughter's boyfriend dies in a fiery crash and a car explodes out of nowhere. If you look at the video of that, all of a sudden he turned the other way. When you start blackmailing people, when you start holding things over them, when you, this is the, the ds, you guys can do the math here. They hold stuff over you and this is what they do. They get you compromised. They find something on you and they'll threaten you with it. That's it. That's more or less what's happening, I think more so than Botner. Yeah, sure. I mean, look, when we talked to one of the. We had. I don't know if it was Tom Emmer or Warren Davidson. Might have been Warren Davidson, but he said the problem with going to Washington is that, you know, with. If you're in the House, it's every two years. If you're in the Senate, it's every six years. But the very second day, at the next day after you're elected, your whole focus is on raising enough money for your next campaign. That's it. Like you're, you're always running, you're always constantly having to deal with that whether you want to or not. And so there are special interests, there are a lot of influences. Jeff, what are your thoughts on that?
A
No, I think you're right. I think that for the most part they get compromised. If you want to try to buy in, you know, sell politicians, I think it's a little bit more, it's going to be more complex. It's a little bit too out in the open. I think that, you know, for the most part, you know, there are potential, you know, threats and, you know, and put into compromised position whether it's true or not. And then many times we'll see, we'll see the outcome. You'll see how they take them down. Now we've seen that with various congressional representatives, we've seen that with high powered media personality. They did it to O'Reilly, they went after Hannity, they've gone after politicians. They, they'll do whatever they got to do to take somebody down. Now it's a matter of how far is that person willing to fight. You know, and we've seen some politicians that have actually left office mainly for the protection of their own family. Now then you say, well, it doesn't look good. Well, you know, they, people forget about it. The media, media is going to report on what the media reports on true, false, whatever, they don't care and they rarely retract. And that's also part of the, you know, the whole part of the, the, the puzzle, so to speak, is that the media is part of it. They're going to topple somebody. Look what they've done to Trump. You know, they have, they've gone after him not saying that he was, you know, compromised in any way because he could fight back. Look at some of these other politicians out there that seem to be enriched somehow, you know, so they're compromised and they're bought out. What's her name from Arizona. What's the reporter that's, that was running for office? Lake. Yeah, Gary Lake. So you know, she came out and said that they had approached her and they tried to buy her off basically saying step down from running and you'll have a multi million dollar contract on one of the network TV's multi double digit contracts on, on one of the networks on a new show an opinion, show compromise, payoffs, long term payoffs. The politicians, they get, you know, paid off in book deals, see that all the time. So I think there's compromised and there's payoffs and there's different, there's different ways to go about doing it. And it doesn't always happen to have, it doesn't always happen at that moment. It could be family members that get paid off. Look at the Biden, you know, family, you see all the different shenanigans that have gone on with that, a lot of incongruities. And you look at, you know, Biden himself, you know, he was enriched on, on the salary that he had. But yet the family benefit host, when they leave office, then you start seeing, you know, they become lobbyists. They get paid huge amounts of money when they leave office. They get their media deals, they get their book deals. It's all paybacks, you know. But in some scenarios you say, well, they were in a position that people want them to come and speak. I don't think they want them to come and speak at the tune of, you know, two, $300,000 an event, you know, and you look at how Obama went into office, he needed money. They gave him a book deal, they gave him a, a million dollar book deal, paid up front when he was running for office. When he got into office, they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, you know, crazy things happen. But look at where he was before running for president. Look how, how he was enriched and look at where he's at now. You know, you look at the Clinton family, same thing. You look, you know, follow the lineage. You look at the Biden family. Not to say that again, you can't go on speaking tours and things like that. But the amounts of money that they pay for the speaking engagements, you know, you can't tell me that those aren't somehow, you know, paybacks, you know, through whatever channel, right?
B
That's how you launder money. This is right here. Chad has it right. USAID is a money laundering operation. Trump shut it down. I think, I'll be honest with you, I think that had it not been for those young. You want to talk about young, brilliant minds, go. Young people don't listen. It was the young people who, who leveraged AI to go in there and find the connections. This stuff was so intertwined, this UA, USAID funding, these GM. What do you call government? What do they call GSO? What do they call GSOs? I was gonna, I want to say GMO. That's the wrong word.
A
The GMOs.
B
You know, GMOs.
A
The food thing.
B
Yeah, the non government entity. So those NGOs and funding other things. And it was so convoluted. It was so. It was like a spider web. It was AI that uncovered that. I don't think, you know, Trump in the first administration even knew about this. I don't think anybody knew about it. So the fact that that was cut off. It's weird that Colbert show goes off the air and meanwhile NBC was getting funded, they found funding for that or whatever. You know, all the networks were getting funding, all the news organizations were getting funding. You can't lose $40 million. And so this Jimmy Kimmel thing is interesting because Kimmel's ratings are worse than Colbert's. Colbert's has way better ratings than Jimmy Kimmel. So he's going off the air and they're losing 40 million. How much is Disney losing on Jimmy Kimmel's show if he has worse ratings? Because. And one of the things that the advertisers forget about the politics of this thing, but the advertisers in the local markets, you know, that own the local station said they were struggling with trying to sell advertising in the market so that they could pay for the show. Right. So they could earn money. They said that people didn't want it because the ratings are so dismal. They had a struggle. So, I mean, everyone wants to make it about this Colbert. He should be on the air. Well, great. If you're losing $40 million a year, it's an easy decision. No, no business exists losing $40 million a year. Well, let me rephrase that. A lot of businesses lose more than that and still exist. But that's because they're public companies and they have a lot of Runway and they have the money from the stock and this is beautiful. We're going to transition to this later. Jim D. We can fix the global digital ID mandates. Use the LGBTQ W XYZ Alphabet argument to insist on analog quality with digital slash binary. That's some fun. That is some funny next level stuff right there. Look at this. Sledfish says Canada is the most corrupt nation of the G7. I don't know if it's Canada's the worst corrupt. I actually think of the G7. I think the UK is slightly ahead of Canada. It might go the UK France and then Canada. Canada's quickly vying for that top two position. But that's how I would rank them. I would put the UK first, then maybe France and then Maybe Canada, but only because Carney is just, you know, a plant. Carney's this guy doesn't know anything about governing. He's just a puppet that's pulling strings. He's kind of a, is a baby eater. Kim was a baby. Okay, Kim was a money pit but this and Disney lays me off. Oh my gosh. Sorry to hear that dude. Man, it's unbelievable. Let's go back into some more of this news. This was great. So Wheats and Wind love the guy. You know Zaman wallet obviously something he's done. He says if through trustless tech and trusted stack like Flare. Yes. Because he was asked weedsy any plans for a one click style way to earn yield on XRP directly in the Zaman wallet. Like with Flare, you know, F assets and Flare networks would you would love to keep my XRP and Zaman without needing to move it elsewhere to earn yield? He's saying yeah and trustless tech and a trusted stack like Flare. Yes. I'm happy to make it happen. Then UK s now was saying following up, hey, we see. Has there been any further developments in this? He says yes, implementation has started and and then we got Flare community says one click style to earn XRP yield directly on the Zommon wallet via Flare. Wen says that through the trustless tech and the trusted stack he's going to make it happen and the implementation's going. And then you had Hugo Filon who is the CEO and co founder of Flare weigh in with. I'm glad to work with Wheatz, a gentleman and scholar and more importantly, deeply protective of the XRP community. Guys, this is one of the coolest developments I've heard. A lot of people are very nervous. They've heard all the scams and weird things you say. Double digit, triple digit yield, right? All this weird stuff. Double digits. You're going to make all this, these big promises and I'm not putting anything down but people are very cautious about moving XRP somewhere because there's always going to be some risk. If you have a way to click something and make it available without moving your XRP and still custodying your xrp, this is the way right here. Do you have thoughts?
A
I like it. I like having you know, option to. If you're able to, you know, keep your XRP in one spot and you can somehow benefit from it, you know, that's great. You know let, let. I like, I like all the, the yield. I like the trustless aspect of it. I think that you know, we're moving in a Direction that allows people more flexibility, more functionality, more utility, more protection across the board. You know, this, this whole notion of, you know, you keep control of it, you keep custody of it, put it in a safe wallet where, you know, you always have access to it. You know, don't give up, you know, full control to a platform. And all these platforms paying off yield, they're able to also do things without having to get into a position where now they have to manage funds and they have to get specific licensing, you know, to manage those funds and to cold storage those funds and bear responsibility, you know, for those funds. The biggest concern with any of the yield based platforms that, and we've seen them kind of come and go, you know, and I look at Celsius, you know, being one of the bigger ones that had a detrimental impact on a lot of people, right, because when it finally basically they locked up your funds and you know, they gave you a payback payoff, it was ends up being like 60, 70% of your holdings. But over time, based on the valuation back then, whatever you were holding, they converted into, they pay out in Bitcoin. They stamped whatever your value was at that point of your Bitcoin, Ethereum X or whatever you're holding. You didn't gain the, the increased momentum of the marketplace, right, that, that, you know, ended up on their side. But the problem there again was that you gave up full custody of your crypto asset. Now you put it into a coinbase and uphold any of these exchanges. At some point, Chip, we have to have full confidence in the exchanges, you know, for Main street adoption. And within those exchanges you get payout of yield and things like that. But there's going to be a large percentage of investors that don't want to do that. They want to have more control and they want to get this type of yield payout. So that's where that was a long.
B
Way of saying yes, that was a good way though. That was a long way. It's, it's all we do here. This is hot off the wire right here. This was a clip that was pulled from our podcast last Saturday morning. Wonder how people pitch their ideas is out. Co founder of Santiago and Fabio joined on the chain podcast to break it down. What happens once a proposal is approved? How does Zao Dao. So you guys can. I'll go ahead and click this here if you want. If you missed it last week, I will then go ahead and give this to you guys so you guys can check it out at your leisure, leisure leisure. However they say Leisure. This was this. This meme guy is really fantastic. The crypto meme guy. So there's fxrp, right? And then there's F xrp. And I'll show you the difference in that. On the left we have Michael Saylor and he's F xrp. Then we have Fuko Fillion, that is fxrp. So the funny thing is the is Michael Saylor, you got the F on the left side and xrp. So I'm not going to say the word, but screw xrp effort, F xrp. Then you have the XRP over here. I thought that was pretty funny. Very clever, love. The crypto meme guy puts out some really good memes in the space. Very niche. Sort of a space that he does there. You gotta love it. Yeah. So I think it's time to transition. What was Rod Hale saying? The bottom line, get rid of the fat in government. No government position supposed to pay enough to make it desirable. That's absolutely a good point.
A
There you go.
B
It was supposed to be you were going to go serve your country while you attend to your farm and go there and represent your people. But an economy like now, this is, I think, why decentralization is the threat. Because, you know, a dao, which is a decentralized, autonomous organization, you could have a DAG. How about those DAGs? You could have a DAG, which is decentralized autonomous government. I'm waiting for the first country to implement that, where the voice of the people can be done through their phone, recorded on blockchain. Everything audit can be audited at some point. And this is kind of where we're going. XRP Plumbing, Canada, America, south and Central America are all going to be considered one country very soon. You guys remember the Amaro? No, I do not remember that. Nope. Won't be one country soon. I don't see that ever happening. But no, it's. No, no, Canada's not. I mean, well, listen. I mean, you might see one of the provinces join the US you might. You might see something like that. You might see someone like an Iceland become a territory. Something much like a Puerto Rico or a Guam or something along those lines where they use U.S. money and they get a lot of benefits, the U.S. but they don't necessarily are. You know, they have their own sovereignty in some ways that they're not 100% US. But that could be true. We could see how that goes. We're going to transition, Jeff, to a little bit of geopolitics. A lot of stuff going on this week.
A
We've before we do that, we're at the bottom of the hour. We got to have a please transfer over. So get your, get your Zombie Waltz ready. Get your XRPs ready. Well, actually you don't have to on this one. We're actually going to be putting up a nice auction for next week. We're going to be giving away a Tempest so just want to give a quick shout out on that one. So the Tempest is going to be badass. We're doing a quick drawing here. A lot of activity here on the chain with the badass Yetis on the chain. Badass.
B
It always goes through my head that.
A
Song on the chain. So this is going out. This is up for auction right now. You can go check them out. Badass yeti number 200. It's a tempest October 1st at 8:50. Opportunity to bid on it. Let's bid this one up. We got to keep the lemon trees watered. So that's where that support's going to be going. So keep that in mind. We're, we're excited about the direction these auctions can go. Want to keep pushing for more and more utility in and around what we can do right now just on the XRP Cafe using their technologies, we're going to see what else we can do with some of these NFTs. Did mint and I'm gotta check and see if it is live yet. But there is a newly minted song from today that hopefully is now up and active. Let me see if it's up there yet. Still not up there yet. Takes. Takes a good like 30, 40 minutes to go through the minting process. If you guys do want to show some additional support, you've got this guy right here. This one 10 xrp. Maybe that's a little bit hefty for this guy right here. This is the song. This is Vendra of Valkyria, the Shadow Mind Prophecy. So this is an NFT of the song. Have the song from today minted as an nft. So if it gets minted, whoever wins will be giving away that NFT today. The song nft. So that's going to be a special for this weekend. So it'll be a lot of fun. But there's going to be opportunities to buy and bid on and do all sorts of cool things with the, with the music. I think it's really cool that we can. You can NFT a music that you can do. Audio, really cool. Video. Video is way too big because it has to be 4 meg. It's the coolest thing I Mean, it's just. It's amazing.
B
Yeah. Let's not forget, too, that if you have a couple yetis, it one yeti, two yetis, three Yetis gets you a discount. That was the utility we provide, is the discount on the. On the badass Yeti's coffee. So you can go into the discord. You can go in there and you can unlock the discount code. So you can go in there right now. If you guys scan that code right there. If you're on mobile, well, you're out of luck. But you just go to badass yeti you're watching on computer. You can scan it with your phone and there you go. Or you can see the. You can scan the QR code and yeti coffee.
A
This is kind of cool. The qrs. I wish they do clickable links if somebody's watching. I don't know how you do that.
B
Yeah, you just. You put it in the chat. That's how we do it, right?
A
Yeah, but I mean, automatically, like, you know.
B
Yeah, yeah. I mean, sure. I mean, if you want to click over there during the show or something like that.
A
Yeah, so.
B
Right. It's not that it's not as easy, I guess, but yeah, so.
A
And then here we go. So it does get buried and it gets lost and then play the song, man.
B
Let's do the place.
A
So here we go. This is risk your mind ode of mentalists. I think you guys are gonna like this one. Here we go.
C
A badass yet here from the blue TR I. The mentalist. Right. Your KIA the Zaman wallet. Your fate on the chain of the Mendel is clan. Eyes burning red sets your mind ablaze. He needs no weapon, he needs no shield. Al will break your c. When he stokes your fear. When he strikes, your mind will sh. Your vision burns you know there is no escape. Risk your mind, risk it, risk your soul Risk your soul, Risk it, Risk your mind, Risk it, Risk your soul.
B
Risk your soul.
C
Risk it with a badass. This is the blue tribe.
B
This is fire in the grave.
C
Ice. Celebratory terror in the chest.
B
Haldorheimer does not wait.
C
Your legend, I claim yours. All be forgotten on the chain is on the chain.
B
Oh, catch your breath, everybody. That was a banger. That was a banger. Everyone gets more legendary. Yeah. It's insane to own that piece of magic right there. A lot of work goes into it. Yeah, okay. Through the magic of AI but it's not that simple. I always tell people, like when I put out my album, I'm like, all right, well, good let's see what you can come up with. And it doesn't usually come up with much. Right. I was like, I'll give you the prompt for the badass yetis. Let's see what you come up with. Okay. So a lot of time, energy, iterations. It takes a lot of craftsmanship to be able to take something and get it to that level. A lot of experimentation and a lot of bad generations as well that don't work out. For all the good ones you hear, there's a lot of them that you never hear. We should have just the Rejects, Jeff. The rejects were.
A
The rejects. In the middle of the song, you can win. You have to listen through the entire song as you adjust.
B
Right. They mispronounce stuff or there's like hits or weird stuff going on or just doesn't sound right.
A
It's really cool.
B
Yeah. So we've got eight in there for the badass yeti drawing so far, which is interesting. Queens Reich. Yeah, well, Queens Reich, if they guzzled some. Some ass, I don't know. So Queen's rights can hit a little bit higher than notes. But yeah, it was really good.
A
Marlo just said. Just a thought. I'd love to see, maybe add an audio only feed on X. That way people like me could keep listening in the background while using our phones for other things. That's a problem with X and the video on X. That video on X doesn't play as friendly as let's say. That's true.
B
No, you're right about that. But you know, well, you know, the YouTubes people always say about YouTube too is like, it takes so much bandwidth to download the. I wish we had a way to do that. The audio only. We'll have to look into that because I'll tell you what our big viewership is on our podcast. The people who listen. So. But that's after the show. So after the show, you guys know that it's Apple, Google, all the podcasts, Basic. And what we. Jeff and I were going through the analytics and we were like, it was wild to see that Brazil was number two. Then it was like I think UK or Australia generally always Australia's number two. But for some reason Brazil had been for the last month. Yeah, and. But our. But our we our viewership or what people listen to us is the big numbers are on the podcast and that we're going to be celebrating our 800th podcast tomorrow night. But that's good. That's a really good suggestion, Marlo. I don't know how we do audio only like for the live. But let's invite. We'll investigate that. We'll see. Because there some, some, some platforms you can stream to live. So if we can do stream auto only podcast, that would be interesting. So let's look into, see what we might be able to do to accommodate that because other people have said that as well. So see what we can do.
A
A lot of fun to do a live podcast. Streaming podcast.
B
Yeah, exactly. All right, so what I wanted to talk about right now is, you know, there's been a lot of conversation in inside of the uk. Kirstarmer came out. Let's see if I could find the right one. I thought I had it, but man, oh man. Where is it? Is it that one? Let's see.
A
Are you looking for that? Gold?
B
Gold.
A
Blueberries ask how can they earn yield on XRP that's owned? My friends asked me this question.
B
Well, you will be able to once, once the wheat to win. We just talked about that. But you'll be. When you say owned, you're talking about, you know, you're custody it. Yeah.
A
You custody yourself. You're not. Because typically if you're going to own earn yield, it's because they're using your XRP or your asset to earn interest themselves. They're lending it out to gain that yield. But somehow you're gonna dig further into all of this.
B
Yeah, we'll dig for. I don't know, we have to see it in action first and kind of experiment with it. But the idea is that you'll self custody it and be able to earn yield on it. So we'll see. There might be something in there where we'll, we'll look into it, but.
A
Right.
B
Because it's something new, most of the time you got to move it somewhere. So. But I wanted to talk a little bit about what's going on in the uk. So one of the things that Kira Starmer came out with this, this digital ID and you know the reason they're doing it, Jeff. So here's what happens. Here's what you guys see a lot. Government creates a problem and then they give you the solution. So the problem is open borders. You, you got people flooding in there that are not assimilating, that are not acting in a good manner, not acting great. And they come in and you put them up in hotels and then you give them money and debit cards and food and clothing and everything else. Okay. But you know, and so then they come out with a digital idea and the whole premise behind this Is that we need to know who's legal and not legal in this way. Well, now you just deport everybody that's illegal. It's legal. Not you know who they are, you're funding them, you're putting them up in hotels. You know exactly who they are. So this is another false thing where the government creates the the problem and then they'll give you the solution, but the solution is never there the way they want. But here's Keir Starmer talking about. This guy's an absolute failure and I love it. I hope he keeps doubling down on stupid because Nigel Farage is right in the wings. Ben Habib is in the wings. So either be Ben Habib or it will end up being Nigel Farage. I think Benhabib has a better plan. Although I feel like because the Ben Habib has a better plan. You see Nigel Farage coming around and.
D
That is why today I am announcing this government will make a new free of charge digital ID mandatory for the right to work by the end of this parliament. Let me spell that out. You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital id. It's as simple as that. Because decent, pragmatic, fair minded people, they want us to tackle the issues that they see around them. And of course the truth is we won't solve our problems if we don't also take on the root causes. Looking upstream to tackle poverty, conflict.
B
Anytime a politician mentions truth, you know everything coming out to that's going to be complete bs, right? So here is Nigel Farage talking about this digital ID everyone's been pretty outspoken about. I expect them to get arrested soon.
E
The prime minister says we must have digital id. That's the way we'll stop illegal immigration. Well, think about it. Germany has ID cards, strict ID and checks. It's made no difference at all in Germany and nor will it here. All that digital ID will be is a means of controlling the population, of telling us what we can and can't do, of finding the innocent. And didn't we see it all when we had the pandemic? When you had to have vaccine ID to travel, to do various things, did that stop the COVID pandemic spread spreading? Did it? Hell, all it did was put cost and inconvenience on everybody else. I also worry, is it risky about massive data banks being held by the government, being hacked by foreign governments, by private companies, by criminals? I do not see a single benefit to the government having digital ID other than them controlling what we do. What we spend and where we go. And we in reform, are wholly opposed to it in every single way.
C
Boom.
B
Not to mention the censorship. Jeff, it's all censorship. They'll track. Okay, so you were job. They can cancel you. Basically, they can shut down your. Your. Your bank now. They're just. You put a meme up and now they're arresting you, knocking on your doors, and they're doing that kind of stuff. But this video I saw had a pretty heavy impact on me. This is the dangers of CBDCs, this dangers of digital idea, it's all the same thing. It's all some control of censorship. But this is on CBDCs. Check this out. This is good. Let's make this full screen. Jeff, how do we do that?
D

A
Yep.
B
Like they're neutral, though. Sure. Nazis coming in? Sure, why not? Come on in. We're not going to take a side. Sure.
A

B
Bank digital currency. Slippery slope. Don't lose your autonomy.
A
That's it. We're already losing.
B
That is so well done, Jeff.
A
That's it.
B
I have to love that. It's really very well done, man. You're going to own nothing and be happy. No, that's not happening. That's been canceled. So, Jeff, you know the biggest thing going on in Washington right now is this government shutdown. Yeah, I'm like, please shut the government down. People are like, our government, shut down, shut it down. It doesn't affect normal services like Social Security and things like get rid of it. And Trump's like, go ahead, shut it down. I'll lay everybody off. Want to play games, let's do it. But this is Trump talking about the government shutdown.
H
They asked us to do something that's totally unreasonable. They never change. They want to give money away to illegals illegally, people that entered our country illegally. They want to give them massive federal money. And we don't want to do that because it means everyone's going to just keep pouring back. Right now we have absolutely perfect borders like you haven't seen in many years. Even better than the. I had great borders during my four years, but these borders are stone cold flows. You can only come into our country, country legally now. But the Democrats want to give it all away. They want to also. They want to open up the borders. Take a look at that big thing. They want to open borders again after what we're going through now, getting rid of prisoners, getting rid of all of these people, dropped out from mental institutions, drug dealers, drug addicts, everything. They're putting everybody into our country. It's all ended now. But this is what Schumer wants. This is, is what the Democrats want. They want to have and they want to take our money. We're doing well because of tariffs. We're doing unbelievable. We're making more money than we ever.
B
More money than ever have. And that's the whole idea, is to get rid of the taxes. Jeff. But going back to the Keira Starmer bit, Narib Dupukele, who's the president of El Salvador, he, he basically took the Keir Starmer announcement and he added this. Tell me. That's a little, little, a little pop quiz for you guys. Tell me who can tell me where this is from? And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark on the right hand or on their foreheads. And no man might buy or sell save he had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Who's the first one to get this? Where is this pulled directly from? Jeff, do you know where it's coming from?
A
What is. Where is it coming from?
B
Someone else. Someone will know. This is a direct quote. A direct quote. That's Charlie got it right. It's a direct quote. It's from Revelation in the Bible. That's correct.
A
There you go.
B
Exactamente. There you go. So I thought it was interesting that he posted it like that with that quote and, you know, calling attention to, you know, the, the mass sort of surveillance and stuff that that happens, that, that goes on and on. And then our buddy, our pal, Ron DeSantis, what he weighed in on the whole digital ID. Someone said digital ID will be pushed here in the US as well. Ron DeSantis said if digital ID is pushed in the US it'll run into a brick wall in Florida, right? Yeah, it will. And.
A
And a lot of other happening. Plus we now have open carry in Florida.
B
There you go. Look at this right here. J.D. vance said Democrats are about to shut the government down because they demand we fund health care for illegal aliens. This is on them. They're screwed either way. If they roll over, then they kowtow tow to the Republicans. And if they continue to fight, this is great, by the way. So they're on the record publicly shutting down the government because they want it. And also they want trans surgeries for kids. They want money for that. The two for surgeries. So you want money for surgeries and you want up to a trillion dollars to fund illegals health care. Right. Not, not citizens health care, not veterans health care, but illegal. So this is, this is on them. I mean, this is something, Jeff, that they wholly and 100 own. There's nothing the. You know, and check this out. Hakeem Jeffries. You'll love this one, Jeff. Hakeem Jeffries is not too happy about the whole thing. He is very upset. There he is.
A
There you go.
B
Days away from a government shutdown and.
C
Republicans are on vacation.
B
He's. He was, he was commenting because Trump went golfing with his granddaughter Kai, and he's on vacation. They said, we're not shutting the government down for this. We're not gonna. We're not gonna fund it. So you shut the government down. And he's mad because they want to. Because they're not going to engage. They're like, sorry, they just shut them down. Sorry, we're not doing that.
A
Exactly.
B
House Republicans on vacation cancel votes.
A
On.
B
The eve of a government shutdown.
C
And Donald Trump is at a golf event.
B
He doesn't have the time to meet.
C
With Democratic leaders to fund the government.
B
And address the Republican health care crisis. But Donald Trump, right now, as we speak, is at a golf event. Yep. It's outrageous. It's. And why are they running out of town? Because they're not going to play. They're playing games.
A
So notice, notice what the Democrats always do. Right first and foremost, what he's talking about is exactly from the Democrat playbook. He just, the last thing he said, look at them running out of town. What did the Democrats in Texas do? They ran out of town. What did the Democrats in Washington do when, when they were getting ready to shut down. Shut down government. Biden was on vacation. Biden was gone. Biden was not mentally there to begin with, but he was gone. Democrats were gone. They didn't show up for vote. They wanted to shut down government. It was the right out of their playbook. And now he's trying to flip the narrative. It's such a, it's such a ridiculous game, you know, because you go back and forth, but him to stand up there and act as though, you know, they were, you know, there's some, you know, pristine representatives, like they haven't done anything to, to harm. You know, the ebb and flow of funding is, is a, is a joke up to recently. And the last thing, they always try to take that narrative. They always try to take exactly what they do and they want to broadcast it onto others. They're always, always broadcasting. And, and that's the one thing. Whatever's in their mind, whatever's in their heart, they broadcast onto others. And, and it's. It, you know, I think people have already, they've, they've clearly understood, you know, exactly how these guys work and they're, they're pretty much done with it. Yeah. I don't think people are buying into their game any longer.
B
No. So that's so for Jeff.
A
So there's a golf even would be fine if it was a DNC fundraiser charity event.
B
Of course it would says Jim D. Beautiful. Well said. And Chad's is right. It's Congress's job to pass a budget, not Trump's. He's there to sign bills. I mean, they're passed.
A
Yeah. What's he going to be there for?
B
I mean, it just goes to show you that it's his agenda and there is respect paid there because he understands this is all coming, driven from, from the leader of the MAGA movement, which is Trump. So there is some respect subtly paid in there. But look at the less hypocrisy, Jeff, when all this stuff was melting down because a comey got indicted. Remember when, when, when they. Remember when Trump. They were going after Trump. Yep. Here's a commentator. Here's two different sides of the coin. He's going to talk about when they went after Trump and then he's going to talk about when they went after Comey, here we go with the hypocrisy.
I
Being treated no better or worse than anyone else. This is not selective prosecution. That this is not somebody who singled out, that he is being treated just like anyone else. That is what it means to have.
B
A rule of law.
I
That is what the Justice Department is really signaling and messaging here, is that everyone will be treated, as Merrick Garland has said, as you know, equally in this country. This is really a really a great day for America. This is such a horrendous moment for the rule of law, for the Department of Justice, for the country writ large, being singled out for impermissible reasons. And so just because you did your job, but just because you referred the president or you opened an investigation into the president, those are not legitimate reasons to have a sort of tit for tat, vindictive prosecution. This looks like it. The emperor has no clothes. That this is the abuse that it appears to be.
B
This is funny, Jeff, because how much hypocrisy is in that statement, by the way, the little charge they have that Comey's getting indicted for. This is small stuff. The big stuff hasn't even been announced. But what I laugh about this whole thing is that that Peter Strzok went on the record publicly and said that he got the okay from Comey. He was. He lied in a hearing. Okay. Lied to Congress. Okay. And they got him. And they also have the documentation where he approved it. It's pretty open and shut. Now, will he get a leftist judge that's going to figure out a way to get him off on a technicality? The bottom line is, regardless of what happens, the evidence is there. And now they're like a selective prosecuting. And the only reason they're going out to Comey is because he went after Trump. Not. No, this really has nothing to do with. This is open and closed right here.
A
Jim D. Is saying Trump just wanted to clear the DOJ books of the Comey case before it was legally expired beyond statute elimination.
B
Correct.
A
Limitations. Yep.
B
Correct.
A
They have to go after them. They have to go after each one of them. But, Chip, you're right about, you know, a key point, which is why they haven't brought a lot of these cases yet. And it's mainly because of the activist judges. Now you go, you gain your judgeship. You're not supposed to play partisan politics. That's the whole point of being a judge. But what we've seen is that judges are definitely playing partisan politics. And there's not just playing partisan politics, but they're activists to the detriment of civil society. So those judges that are participating in that, A, need to be removed, you know, B, need to be disbarred, and C, need to be put into jail for treason. You know, so I would like to see true accountability. It's when they finally go after those responsible within government, then they have to go after the judges, and then we have to keep going back and. And to the bearers of this responsibility to see. Exactly. And maybe a disbarment is enough for. For the judges. You know, you remove them, disbar them, and. And that's it. And then now they. They're no longer able to practice law. So I think that changes, you know, changes a lot. So we'll see exactly how this all unfolds with the whole comey thing.
B
The world is a stage, but it is. But look, I mean, if the evidence is there, it's like, okay, here's the evidence. Here it is. We'll see. It doesn't matter sometimes whether somebody goes away or not. The public humility, you know, humiliation and exposing the fact. Well, I wonder if they lied about this, what else did they lie about? Right. You know, just getting them on. People are like, oh, this is going after him. Well, yeah, yeah. Do you have people corroborating it? You do have the evidence. You do have the smoking gun and.
A
Jim D. Saying, if Comey's innocent, he should be happy. Trump has given him an opportunity to clear his record. That's right.
B
There you go. Yeah, that's right. Now, Jeff, I've often said that leftists aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. They're not the smartest people. They don't do any of their own research. They kind of follow narratives. Well, they have a really. They're trying to go after ice. Right. They're really upset that ICE is throwing criminals and bad people out of the country and illegals, but they're having a little bit of a problem distinguishing what ICE to go after. And this sadly, made me laugh. It's pretty sad that it happened, but again, you can't make this up. I wish this was parody. It's real. Check this out.
A
Get this straight.
B
Ice Cube's tour bus got firebombed in Portland, Oregon. So you're telling me the left is so stupid. The ice on Ice Cube meant ice like immigration, customs. These are the people we're arguing with. Guys, I hope they try and do this to someone. Like ice iced tea. Try firebombing iced tea. See what happens. Dude, ice Cubes. Ice cubes. Touring.
A
Yeah.
B
And they see ice on the side of it, but apparently they missed the cube thing. And apparently they don't know who ice cube is. Don't understand. It's a raptor. Don't understand. It's a tour bus. It's obvious that tour bus. They think this is immigration Customs and Enforcement. I. I'm sorry, man. This is just beyond. It's. It would be, it would even be hilarious if like I can see this as a Babylon B story. They buy iced tea and ice cubes. Buses got firebombed because I thought they were ice, you know, the customs enforcement. But no, this is for real. And it's just crazy beyond scary. Did you know that this is kind of. Biden got caught kind of put in a compromising situation. How do we miss this, Jeff? His disability fool you? This is a man with a deviant plan.
G
Yeah, I'm pretty excited.
B
You excited? I'm looking forward to this, man.
G
What do you want to do?
B
Show me something.
A
Come here, man.
B
So I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Oh, no. What's your plan here? Look, this is not but that. You KNEW she was 13. No, I didn't. I've got the transcript right here. So this is funny, you know, I, I get all this information about instead of taking responsibility, he tries to blame it all on the decoy.
H
I was prepared for them to come.
B
After me, but I wasn't prepared for the person coming at me.
H
The way she came out.
B
She knew bo, she knows me. I don't. Anyway, it sounds like what you're trying to see is if you could score with a 13 year old girl.
H
It's not about that.
B
But you did bring some things with you. Well, so you brought condoms. That's a different issue.
A
Doesn't seem so tonight.
H
Look, every child out there, every child out there is capable.
B
There's something I got to tell you. I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC. Come on, man. He shows up on the daylight. That was a well put together parody, man. Evil, well put together.
A
On the Susan Rice bus.
B
Susan Rice. Sorry, Susan. They'd have to block out the R and Susan ice and then they would go ahead and firebomb that as well. Right, but that one, that, that, that's. That makes the all time greatest hit list there.
A
Attacking ICE isn't just a weather change method. That's right. It's all about climate control. These guys.
B
Oh no, I didn't see this. Serena Williams overreacted to Cotton as a decor in her Hotel room. I think people just get a little bit too excited about stuff, you know?
A
A little out of control.
B
Yeah. I mean, come on, man. Come on, man. Come on, man. Let's do this. We got nine people in the drawing. Guys, type in yeti. We already. We need to run a song again. Jeff, what do we need to do?
A
I think we got to run the song again.
B
We're gonna run it again.
A
The other one would mint, but it didn't meant so here we go. Let's roll this. You guys are gonna have some fun. If we can find it. Here we go.

A
What happened?
B
What's that, Jeff?
A
What? Miracles happen. Let's pay it forward to Jackie. 33. What went on? What are you talking about?
B
Oh, something went on the background. It was an ETF commercial, and I was like. I thought I was on the podcast, but no. All right, Jackie, that means you have to come in here and you've got to give us your zombie. Are you still here? Jackie was here a second ago, too. Yeah, she was there.
A
So Jackie has to come up with these. Zaman wallet.
B
Yeah. So is paying it forward. He's going to give you the win, Jackie. So go ahead, Jackie. We need to hear you. I'm still here. Otherwise, we're gonna have to pay it forward to someone else, or Mark will have to accept it, and he can transfer it to you. A different time, different moment. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Badass Yetis. Well, the big story that I wanted to get to, which is the treason story, the Obama treason story, I wanted to get to that. It's a little bit long. I'm not gonna play the whole thing, but I wanted to kind of give you guys a flavor of this because it doesn't look good for a lot of these people who think it's retaliatory. Isn't it funny that they say that this is a revenge? Revenge for what? All the indictments, trying to take them out, trying to kill them, shooting at him twice. Sure.
A
Right. Yeah, that's. That's the revenge. Holding them accountable is revenge.
B
Yeah. So I want to play some of this. And so, Jackie, we need to hear from you. Here we go.
J
News alert. The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, releasing a bombshell report today that shows a conspiracy by a sitting President Barack Obama and his intel agencies to sabotage the President elect Donald Trump, brainwash the electorate, and undermine the legitimacy of an election.
B
There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't.
J
Gabbard got her hands on a House intel report that's been locked away in a CIA vault for almost a decade. Investigators spent over 2,000 hours looking into how the Russia hoax was born, interviewing 20 CIA and FBI officials. And it turns out that the Obama administration doctored the intelligence to make it look like Putin and Trump stole the election. A month after Trump beat Hillary, Barack Obama wasn't satisfied with his intelligence reporting and ordered his CIA director to create a new assessment of how Russia interfered with the election. This was a highly unusual move. John Brennan handpicked five CIA analysts to write the assessment, and they were siloed. None of them knew what the other was doing, and only one analyst was in charge of drafting this report. There was nothing routine about this, and it was a rush job to publish before Trump was sworn in. Nothing was coordinated with the other intelligence agencies either. Basically, this was home cooking for Barack Obama. There were four key elements from the assessment that were repeated over and over again and form the basis of the Russia hoax and the Robert Mueller witch hunt. One, did Vladimir Putin wanted Donald Trump to win. Two, Putin took action to help Trump win. Three, the Russians had blackmail on Trump. That was the Steele dossier. And four, that the Russians tried colluding with the Trump campaign. None of any of this was ever true. There was no reliable intelligence to support any of these allegations. Senior CIA officials repeatedly refused to traffic in these allegations, but they were repeatedly overruled by CIA Director Brennan and FBI Director Comey, who insisted that they be pushed even without verifiable evidence. The Obama administration cherry picked the intelligence, lied about their sources, misquoted sources, didn't corroborate their claims, suppressed intelligence that ran counter to their narratives, and even used anonymous Internet postings. Rank and file. CIA admitted what they were doing violated their own tradecraft standards. There was a massive pressure campaign that came right from the top. CIA analysts say they received unusual directives from political appointees, the CIA director and Obama himself. This is how the Russia hoax was born. Donald Trump knows that the Russians helped.
B
Him win in 2016. Putin hated Secretary Clinton so much that the flip side of that coin was he had a clear preference for the person running against the person he hated so much. It was Russia in a very systematic.
E
Way and tried to interfere in the.
B
Election and to try to advance the prospects of Donald Trump being elected.
J
This was such a malicious disinformation campaign perpetrated on the American people that at one point, 60% of Democrats believe the Russians hacked our voting machines to help Trump win the White House. What this report actually shows is that The Russians just wanted to create chaos and undermine Americans faith in democracy. Solid intelligence suggested that Vladimir Putin didn't care who won.
B
Yeah, so it goes on and on. It's a really long report, but you kind of get the gist of what's going on there. So we do have some. Sorry, Jackie. Ray Run is runner up. So, Ray, get your wallet. Get your wallet ready, my man.
A
Wallet time. Wallet up. Wallet time.
B
Let's see that wallet. No, no. You still here? Is Ray Run still here? Geez, let me give it away to everybody. Ray run. You can always claim yourself, Mark. Give it to Jackie later or, you know, whatever you want to do.
A
Oh, Ray Run is here. All right. Ray Run.
B
All right. Ray is here. Good. Raised the winner through the very generous Mark Smithson there. Are you still hanging out at Sparky's up there yet?
A
He's over here. He's still. He's still hanging out.
B
Still held up in Spark.
A
He hasn't left.
B
Sparky's still there.
A
He's in the park.
B
I need your zombie hanging out in the park, man. We'll get that. I'll also play this little bit right here. This is Baby Trump talking about Jasmine Crockett. Here we go.
H
Jasmine. Remember what I said. Is she a relation to the late, great David Crockett? I don't think so. Let me tell you before you even ask, she's a very low IQ person. I mean, if we ever had to pass an aptitude test, that's the one should take one, because she shouldn't even be in the crowd. So I have no idea what you're going to, but I don't think we should waste our time. This is a low IQ person who I can't even believe is a congressperson. Between her and Ilman Omar and the group, you know, I met the head of Somalia. Did you know that? And I suggested that maybe he'd like to take her back. And he. He said, I don't want her. Okay. What else?
B
Go ahead.
H
You want. Let's hear what. Let's hear what Crockett said compared Ice.
B
Food ratings to slave patrol. I want to ask you to slave to slave patrol. I want to ask you if you think there should be consequences for members of Congress who made these types of comparisons.
H
Yeah, well, I think she's gone over the line. And I think a lot of the people. Look, the Democrats have become radical left lunatics. They have policies that nobody's going to buy. And, you know, I see what's going on in New York. We're going to going to have a. Perhaps a Communist mayor because it's split up. You know, if the people would get together and have one candidate, they'd have, I think, a pretty good chance. But it looks like maybe they're not going to do that. But we're going to end up with a communist mayor. It's not even believable. My beautiful New York. When I left New York to become president, it was a great place, but it was the beginning of bad things because we had. De Blasio had just started his mayor. And I said they. This guy's a bad.
B
Jeff. Did you see the de Blasio, baby? He's eating the French fries. Remember, he was pedaling. You get a free burger and French fries.
H
Had just started as mayor. And I said, amazing guys. Finally went to Harvard to teach management. Can you believe it? He went to Harvard to teach city management along with the mayor of Chicago who went to Harvard to teach the two of them. Teaching how to manage a city into. Manage it into hell is what they did. But that was the beginning. And now we're going to go a step further. Now we're going with the Communists. Can I be honest? I think it's the greatest thing to ever happen to the Republican Party. I really do. I think if a Communist takes over New York City, I think that's. That's a gift to the Republican Party. It's sad for New York, but it's a gift. And New York will recover because. Because, you know, sometimes you need just.
B
I mean, the reactions they do in this video are the best. This is all done with, baby. They show the reaction. But this is the best thing they have. Mitch McConnell here. Any about collapses. Jeff. Okay, this is like real subtle. But there's Mitch McConnell. He says gift to the Republicans. Here's Mitch McConnell.
H
It's sad for New York, but it's a gift. And New York will recover because, you know, sometimes you need a shock like that to straighten you out.
A
But it's sending this guy over to Ra Ray right now. Ray. Stay tuned. Here we go. Get ready, get ready.
B
Diaper diplomacy on X. They come up with those awesome.
A
Ray. It's on its way.
B
There you go, Ray. Ray is a big winner.
A
Beautiful. Thank you, Marcus. So sad she left paying it for it. I know. I can't believe Jackie was there one minute and gone the next. Yeah, right, Ray. Ron, Just check your. Check your Zen wallet. You now have badass yeti number 360. This guy is badass, too. And if the song ever wins, if the Song ever.
B
XRP Plumbing. Thank you so much. Man, look at this, another OG coming in here, always reaching deep. Have a fantastic weekends, folks, and a great week ahead. Thank you for that. XRP Plumbing. Appreciate the well wishes, guys. We always like to end the show on something funny. Usually it's a Babylon br. This has nothing to do with crypto, nothing to do with AI, nothing to do with anything of our interest. Government, geopolitics. Nothing. It's just funny. Let's listen. Let's watch this.
G
Tell me a little bit about your character, Paris.
B
Let me go ahead and set this up so people listen to the podcast. So here's a. Here's a. An actress being interviewed, and she's being fed the questions. She's being coached in the background. I don't know if the guy came in later and coached it, but it sounds to me like it could have happened after. And he's making funny. But anyway, I laughed at this. Hopefully you guys will find this funny, but here we go.
G
Tell me a little bit about your character, Paris. Can you give us an introduction to what she's like?
B
Say hashtag as many times as you can while you're saying it.
G

B
Hashtag Rome.
G
Hashtag Rome. Hashtag Rome. You love a hashtag. Who doesn't? I mean, everyone loves a hashtag, especially millennials, right?
B
I guess.
G
Are you a millennial? Yes, very much so. Very much so. Over 30.
B
Oh, that's really sweet. Oh, that's so sweet.
G
What? Being over 30.
B
I hate millennials.
G
Yeah, I mean, I kind of hate millennials, but. Oh, do you? Why do you hate millennials?
B
One of them killed my dog. Watch how she works up the tears.
G
Sorry, just remind me, you know. Oh, no, no, I'm sorry. It's just I get emotional sometimes because, like, one of them, One millennial killed my dog.
B
So.
G
I'm sorry. It's so weird.
B
Anyway, let's carry on.
A
Sorry.
B
It's my fault. My fault.
G
I'm sorry. I feel so weird right now. That's really sad. I'm so sorry. Yeah. What happened? It wasn't like. It's. I'm so sorry that I made you feel bad about that.
B
He beat it to death with. With. With. With his phone.
G
Actually, the. The millennial, like, beat the dog to death with his phone, and it was, like, so weird. Oh, Palm, I'm so sorry.
B
Anyway, let's move on.
G
I don't know. Okay, let's move on. Sorry, can you cut it off? Yeah, last question. I'm so sorry about that, babe. Let me just ask you one question. Can you tell us a bit about the stunts in the movie? Get really happy. Get really happy. But it can be a bit dangerous. Yes.
B
I love stunts.
G
No, but it was like so much fun. If you wanna.
