Five dimensions, 20 points each
The episode focuses on three converging developments suggesting XRP is moving from niche crypto into mainstream institutional adoption. First, Ripple announced the first-ever cryptocurrency sponsorship of a major college athletic program - the University of Kansas Jayhawks - with XRP patches appearing on all team uniforms starting fall 2026, notable because Kansas is CEO Brad Garlinghouse's alma mater. Second, the XRP Ledger Foundation announced surpassing 1 million agentic payments using the X402 protocol standard, enabling AI agents to autonomously execute payments without human intervention. Third, the XRPL AI Hub launched in partnership with Virtuals Protocol to create a centralized platform for AI agents, tools, and payment services on the XRP Ledger. The hosts contextualize these announcements within broader regulatory momentum, citing Senator Ron Wyden's push to preserve the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act language in the larger Clarity Act, and Franklin Templeton's institutional validation of XRP as uniquely positioned for high-volume, low-cost infrastructure needs. The episode argues these signals - university branding, agentic payments at scale, AI ecosystem positioning, and institutional adoption - collectively indicate XRP transitioning from crypto bubble to mainstream financial rails.
Ripple announced the first-ever cryptocurrency sponsorship of a major college athletic program, placing XRP patches on all University of Kansas Jayhawks team uniforms starting fall 2026, covering football, basketball, soccer, and other sports competition jerseys.
The XRP Ledger Foundation announced it has surpassed 1 million agentic payments via the X402 protocol, representing AI agents autonomously executing transactions without human intervention.
The XRPL AI Hub is a new ecosystem platform launched by T54AI in partnership with Virtuals Protocol, serving as a single destination for AI agents, projects, tools, and payment services on the XRP Ledger to build the agent economy.
The BRCA provision, advocated by Senator Ron Wyden and others, codifies existing federal policy clarifying that non-custodial software developers should not be treated as money transmitters solely for publishing software while preserving DOJ and FinCEN authority over illicit actors.
The XRPL offers low-cost infrastructure, predictable fees, 24/7 no-censorship settlement, liquidity through native XRP asset, and a protocol design uniquely suited for high-volume AI agent payments and institutional use cases.
Our reviewer’s read on each dimension, with quotes from the episode.
The episode sprawls across numerous disconnected topics - XRP sponsorship, agentic payments, political candidates, World Cup soccer, European politics - with minimal substantive exploration of any single subject. Most segments consist of surface-level commentary, anecdotes, and reactions to clips rather than novel analysis. The few crypto-related insights (e.g., 'liquidity is massive' for agentic payments) are either obvious or unsupported.
Liquidity is massive. Bet you're going to use it for agentic payments like that. Easily accessible, easily transferable.
XRP is a cryptocurrency that is built for modern finance and ideal for fast and low cost financial transactions.
The episode relies almost entirely on recycled takes: pro-crypto cheerleading, generic political commentary, anti-EU sentiment, and celebratory coverage of Spencer Pratt's activism. There is no contrarian framework, first-principles analysis, or fresh angle on XRP's institutional adoption or agentic payments. Most claims simply repeat existing talking points without interrogation.
XRP is now the first crypto on the jersey of a major college athletic program at my alma mater.
When XRP starts showing up on uniforms, when agentic payments on the XRP ledger pass 1 million.
The episode features only one substantive guest appearance: a Franklin Templeton executive discussing institutional adoption of XRP. While Franklin Templeton is a legitimate institutional player, the segment is brief (~5 minutes) and the guest's specific role and track record are not clearly established. The rest of the episode is solo hosts and clip reactions, significantly limiting guest caliber.
Well, yeah, because there's a lot of new chains too. And I think one of the things that were another trend that you see, uh, globally is that very large institutions
And so we have a lot of enthusiasm about working with the team specifically
The episode mentions specific names (Kansas Jayhawks, Franklin Templeton, Brad Garlinghouse) and one concrete metric (1 million agentic payments), but provides almost no supporting numbers, timelines, or verifiable data. Claims about XRP adoption, regulatory progress, and political trends lack citations, dollar figures, or evidence. Most assertions are vague or rely on cherry-picked video clips.
the XRP ledger Foundation they just surpassed 1 million agentic payments via the X402 on the XRP ledger.
The Kansas Jayhawks put this up. A shared commitment to innovation and excellence. Kansas Athletics is proud to announce a new groundbreaking partnership with Ripple
The hosts engage in banter and read chat comments, but rarely ask probing follow-up questions or challenge claims. When the Franklin Templeton executive mentions XRP being 'well past the journey,' the host accepts it uncritically rather than pressing for evidence. The conversation frequently veers into unrelated tangents (sports, weather, personal anecdotes) and avoids sustained interrogation of substantive topics.
You know, did you See that, Jeff? Well past the journey, saying it's season, saying it's been around a while.
It's really fantastic. And then here we've got Ellie Terrett. Talking about, uh, you know, remember, Jeff, they were going to pass this thing in February

They Can't Ignore XRP Today wasn't about one headline. It was about what all of the headlines mean when you connect the dots. Ripple just put the XRP brand on the jersey of a major NCAA athletics program. AI is rapidly expanding on the XRP Ledger. The XRPL Foundation just surpassed 1,000,000 agentic payments. Franklin Templeton publicly acknowledged XRP's maturity compared to newer blockchain networks. At the same time, regulatory momentum in Washington continues to move in favor of digital assets. Individually, these may seem like separate stories. Together, they paint a very different picture. Tonight, we break down why XRP is becoming much more than another cryptocurrency - and why institutions, developers, governments, and now even mainstream sports are all converging on the same ecosystem. We also cover: Ripple's groundbreaking University of Kansas partnership The launch of the XRPL AI Hub 1 million agentic payments on XRP Ledger Franklin Templeton's comments on XRP The latest U.S.

Speaker A: Tonight, the crypto world feels like it just shifted a few degrees. Something is happening in plain sight. Most people, they're still looking in the wrong direction. Ripple and XRP just stepped onto the stage nobody expected. Not Wall street, not Davos, not some closed door banking conference, college athletics, the University of Kansas, a jersey patch, a historic first. The first ever crypto sponsorship of a major college athletic program. And of course, it just happens to be Brad Garlinghouse's alma mater. Coincidence? Maybe. When XRP starts showing up on uniforms, when agentic payments on the XRP ledger pass 1 million. When AI suddenly has a home on XRPL, and when Franklin Templeton says XRP is already well past the journey while the other chains still begging for relevance, you have to ask that bigger question. Is this marketing or is this the early signal of something way bigger and larger? Tonight, we're going to go connect all those dots between Ripple, XRP, AI, Agentic payments, X402 regulation, institutional validation, and the very strange moment when crypto seems to be moving from the back of the room to the front of the jersey. And while all that's happening, Washington's still trying to figure out how to regulate the rails. The world is watching geopolitics heat up, and the old system looks a little bit more nervous than usual. So buckle up, buttercup, because tonight, not just about a logo on a jersey. It may just be about the moment XRP walked out of the crypto bubble and unwear it, entered the main stage. Go. Welcome to on the Chain. Welcome to on the Chain, everybody. You can see that I am solo, but it's only for a little bit. It's solo. Uh, Jeff is on his way to the on the Chain studio as we speak and he will be joining us shortly. So for the moment, you're going to have me. And, uh, we had some technical things going on as usual. Uh, nothing we couldn't overcome. We can always overcome the technical challenges. Tonight we're going to kick it off. We've got some interesting stuff going on here tonight, but let's just take a look at this little video here. It's going to set it up in a nice little way and then we'll have something to talk about when we get back. Let's go. Oh, boy. I'm worried about the song here, so let's just tune that down a little bit. What do we see? Got it. Careful with the YouTube sensors and police here. So all you see is crowd. You see athletics, you see jerseys, and they've got an XRP tag On, um, them. There you go, there you go. There you go. Look at this.
Speaker B: Boom.
Speaker A: Xrp boom, baby. And there it is. And welcome everybody, to on the Chain. I am Chip Solo for a moment. Jeff will be joining us, uh, shortly, and he will be chiming in just a little bit. He's on his way to the studio. He got caught outside the studio, which happens from time to time. Sometimes it happens to both of us, which is why we don't do a show. And sometimes when we do do a show and you can kind of see how that is. So guys, say hello. What's going on? Steve, how are you doing? Happy fourth. Uh, happy, happy past the fourth. Happy. 250 and, uh, yeah, this is great. Pass. Come on, baby.
Speaker C: Pass.
Speaker A: The clarity act. I stuck a lot of money into it. I want my return. Love to see post how much I own, but that's not smart. No, never do that, Adam. Never do that. Always keep that a secret. Chad, what's going on from Celebration. Good to have you here. And then we're going to kind of pop into it a little bit tonight. We're going to show you kind of what's going on here. And this is like an interesting thing. Like it was such a wild, out of nowhere type of a thing that hit with what's going on with this thing. It's just crazy. But let's take a look at this here. This is what Ripple posted up here on. Over there on, uh, the X. Um, formerly Twitter Ripple xrp. University of Kansas. That happens to be Brad Garlinghouse's alma mater. He's talked about it quite a bit. History on a jersey patch. The first ever crypto sponsorship major athletics program starts today. It's pretty cool and exciting if you guys don't know how it works here in the US One of the things that was pretty interesting to a lot of Europeans and people came from other places, particularly Europeans, uh, they came here a lot of Aussies as well. But you know what happened. They came over here. They're told a lot of propaganda like us is dangerous. People are not friendly, the culture is bad, the food's bad. Well, they found just the opposite was true. They were loving everything. You've seen all the videos we played a certainly a ton of them here. And one of the things that I think surprised them was how big this college stadiums are. Like if you look at the University of Michigan, that holds I think 107,000 people. It's massive for a, for a college university. You know, football stadium, it's pretty large. So this has kind of shocked them now. Even more shocking was going to high schools and seeing how large the football stadiums were there. And I'm not talking about the football, as they call it around the world. I'm talking about American football. And it's just shocking. The other thing that shocked them was yellow school buses. They thought it was just the movies. They'd see a yellow school bus and they'd freak out because they almost didn't even think they were real. You know, a lot of what happens and a lot of the culture that people know about the United States is all done through the lens of TV and movies. So, yeah, some of it's fabricated. It's not all real. They think that every part in the US Is New York, it's Miami, it's any big city. Chicago, Detroit. They. They think it's a big city. This is what they always see, you know, and movies. They've never been to the Deep South. They've never. They don't realize that it takes two days to cross. You can spend two and a half days driving and still not be out of Texas. They think, well, I'll just drive from New York to Texas. No, ain't happening. You spend three days driving. Uh, so I think that's caught them a little bit off cover. But you look at this right here. Pretty exciting stuff. The Kansas Jayhawks put this up. A shared commitment to innovation and excellence. Kansas Athletics is proud to announce a new groundbreaking partnership with Ripple, bringing the XRP brand to JHAWK uniforms. And it's cool because you see the Ripple patch right there. We already played the video. You saw it throughout the whole entire video of how it's going to appear on the jerseys. Very first time it's been a sponsorship of, of college, uh, athletics. So that's pretty exciting. And then Brad had this to say. A rare moment where, where my professional and personal worlds collide. XRP is now the first crypto on the jersey of a major college athletic program at my alma mater. XRP family, meet the Jayhawks. Rock chalk. There you go. That's the rally cry right there. You gotta love that. And so pretty exciting time to see something like this happening and occurring. Uh, the Kansas. Uh, here's the patch. What the patch is going to look like this. The Kansas Jayhawks put this out here. Introducing the XRP jersey patch. And this is going to be featured on all Kansas athletic team uniform. Like everything. Softball, football, uh, lacrosse, you name it. Um, soccer. It's going to be on every single jersey. The football jerseys and this is what it looks like right here. Pretty cool. So it'll either be in that red or that blue and that's what it's going to look like. Uh, and this is the uh, the, it says the Kansas XRP jersey patch partnership. And uh, they also put up this sort of little a cheat sheet. Um, beginning with the first team competition in 2026, the XRP patch will appear in all the team uniforms. The patch color will be tonal to the uniform meaning it will match all um over color scheme of Kansas athletics corresponding. So if it's a XRP patch, be either crimson which is that red we saw that blue or that white. Now when does XRP jersey patch m partnership begins? Begins this fall of 2026. Will the XRP patch appear in all sports game jerseys competition for uh, competition uniforms? Yes. For example, men's and women's golf will also have the XRP patch on their respective competition tops. Now will the XRP patch appear in practice gear, travel gear, sideline gear and other team issued gear? No, the XRP patch will only appear as on the game jerseys. This is pretty typical. Uh, the jerseys they wear in practice are very different. There's no reason to have it on there. Usually practices, sometimes they're open, most of the time they're not. That makes a lot of sense. So what exactly is xrp? That's the big ten thousand dollar question. Remember how many people are getting introduced to this? How many people are looking at this as a first crypto backed, uh, sponsorship? And in simple terms, XRP is a cryptocurrency that is built for modern finance and ideal for fast and low cost financial transactions. For example, sending money from the US to Europe in traditional money can take days where sending XRP settles in three to five seconds at fractions of a cent. And what is XRP primarily used for today? Well, it's commonly bought and stored in digital wallets. That's. That'll be us. Hello the Hodlers. And available for purchase on several global exchanges. Yeah, I would say more than several. That's a nice way to put it. Almost everywhere you can purchase crypto you will find xrp. And then the last question is, well when, when fans buy game jerseys, will it have the XRP patch on them? Yes and no. So officially licensed Adidas uh, game jerseys for sale at retail will not be emblazoned with the XRP patch. However, for example, a fan purchasing an official game jersey at a Jayhawk Outfitters, the official team store of Kansas Athletics at time of purchase and could have the XRP patch added to that jersey. And you would imagine that if they've already got a other, another sponsorship deal with Adidas, obviously you're not going to compete with that. And that makes a whole hell of a lot of sense. So that's what we got going on with that. I thought that was an interesting story. Kind of took me by surprise. Was not expecting that. Came right out of the blue. But it was very cool to see that. It's interesting. Yeah. So, um, Mark, uh, or Chad says he's wearing two patches now. What kind of patches are you wearing? Nicotine patches. What kind of patches are you wearing? That's what I'd like to know. Uh, Mark Smithson says, nice. Then we got the tree King says XRP is a nightmare. Wrapped up in a bundle. A bunch of hope. That's one way to look at it. You know, could look at that way. But now it's going to be sitting on some Kansas jerseys. Mark Smithson also has a Speedo, says it has an XRP patch. There you go. Beautiful. Checking in. XRP jersey patch. Sounds like a backdoor software mod to the Ledger for the Mafia. Jim D, you never, you never disappoint, uh, on any of your comments. This is good. This is great. I love that. Then some news from T54. Let me see, what else did I have here? Hang on a second. It's always easier when Jeff is here. We can do this banter back and forth, but I wanted to check, uh, let's see, what else did we have? It looks like we had a couple of. Okay, I see what happened here. All right, so I'm going to put this uh, video up here because this is kind of lead into the next story right here. Let's go ahead and play this. I think it has any. This is the um, the AI Hub right here. This is the, uh, being launched by T54AI. We've talked to them an awful lot here. So really exciting to see that. It's uh, AI Hub build the largest, uh, build the agent economy on XRP Ledger together. This is a great thing and I really loving this. This company, T54. I love everything that they do from the logo, the agentic stuff that they're building. But let's drill down a little bit more on the story. So AI Activity and XRP Ledger now as a home. Today we're launching the XRPL AI Hub, uh, featuring our ecosystem launch virtuals under she, under IO. This is a single destination for agents, AI projects, tools, payment services on the XRPL. And there it is right there. So this is their partner, um, virtuals Protocol Society of AI Agents. There you go. And that's what it looks like right there. Uh, Agent Economy Hub on the XRP ledger. There it is. Jeff, welcome. It's good you're in a secret undisclosed location. Thank you for getting. Thank you for making it. There you go. Uh, uh, you didn't miss much, man. We just, Just talked about the XRP patch and that's probably all we. We really got onto Economy.
Speaker B: That site was made by AI.
Speaker A: That is AI slop all the way. You could recognize it a mile away. Right? That's exactly the same thing I was thinking. It's like. Yep. Uh, but it. Look, it's clean. I mean, it's clean. It's usually better than what most people come up with. Not that it's a. Not that it's a bad thing, but it does. You can tell that that was made by AI. AI all the way.
Speaker B: So AI is very sterile in terms of its process.
Speaker A: Yeah, it can be. Actually, what I. What I play was the wrong. I played the wrong movie and it's like sometimes you need to download them. I actually played the one for the XRP ledger and I was thinking when I. As soon as I was playing, I was like, hm, something's not matching up here. I was like, I knew it right away. But I was like, ah, uh, it's too late. I can't get out of it. But that's the thing. And sometimes you don't preview these movies. You're like, okay, but that, that movie we just watched, which didn't have any audio, but this is the XRP Ledger Foundation. They just surpassed 1 million agentic payments via the X402 on the XRP ledger. Time to double down. That's a lot, Jeff. A million agentic payments already.
Speaker B: Wow, that's massive. I think that's a big deal.
Speaker A: I, uh, Like, I mean, I mean, I would be. I would be excited if they said ten thousand, maybe twenty thousand, a hundred thousand. But a million is a lot of agentic payments. Agentic, meaning an agent made it without a human.
Speaker B: Right. That's amazing.
Speaker A: That's crazy. Like an AI agent went out there, was making payments. So now you have these agents that are doing things behind the scenes. But a million.
Speaker D: Wow.
Speaker A: Pretty big. XRPL AI hub is a comprehensive new ecosystem. Platform builders, users, enthusiasts. Welcome to the agencic economy of the XRP ledger. This is it right here.
Speaker B: The whole new world.
Speaker A: You know how much I love black Backgrounds, Jeff.
Speaker B: Oh, they're the best.
Speaker A: Yeah. That's why they print books with black pages and white ink. Because they're. They're the best. Can you imagine, you go to the bookstore and say, oh, no, I'm not reading this book. I need it in dark mode. And they, they pass you a book. If you've ever seen white print on black, like trying to read it on paper, someone's printed something out. Uh, it's. You go like, oh, this is really hard to read. But let's put it all over the web because so much better, right?
Speaker B: People want.
Speaker A: Jeff, you know, my two biggest pet peeves in life, right? This is one, you know, the other big one, right? What's the other?
Speaker B: Vertical videos.
Speaker A: Damn.
Speaker E: Right.
Speaker A: Soccer mom videos.
Speaker B: And our last workshop, we had the camera guy there. He had his video camera set up somewhere else. We're like, okay, we gotta. He was gonna run around and take some quick testimonials, but he immediately shot in horizontal. I was like, man, you're a pro. That's what I said.
Speaker A: I thought it was going the other way for a second there.
Speaker B: Well, we had another camera guy that did shoot every testimonial in vertical.
Speaker A: Oh, God. You know, you can always use horizontal, make it virtual, but you can't with AI now you can expand it. Sometimes if you just have them in the frame, you can expand it. It's not the same thing. No, it's not as easy to do either. That's funny, man. And then vet chimed in on this. Vet said that, uh, he wasn't surprised that we. Surprise pass rapidly. I'm sorry that. But I was very surprised by this. He says that, uh, he believes that we are uniquely positioned with our protocol design that fits very well what AI needs now. That's a really good point. There's a reason that the XRPL could be a very big leader in this, right? Um, low cost infrastructure, predictable fees. You know what it's going to cost? There's no gotchas. Uh, a native asset, xrp, that's lasted. It's listed everywhere. And it's liquid. And I think the big thing is liquidity, Jeff.
Speaker B: Liquidity is massive. Bet you're going to use it for agentic payments like that. Easily accessible, easily transferable. Big news, 24 7. No censorship.
Speaker A: Yeah, that's a key one. And I love that they put this. They snuck this in there. No censorship. Interesting. No censorship there, Jeff. I like that a lot.
Speaker B: Big news.
Speaker A: It's really fantastic. And then here we've got Ellie Terrett. Talking about, uh, you know, remember, Jeff, they were going to pass this thing in February, the Clarity Act. Uh, that was going to be April, that must be bay then June. And it'll be asked before July 4th. Last time I checked, that was a few days ago.
Speaker B: It's gonna be Q1 of 27.
Speaker A: I mean, now that you have the midterms coming up, all bets are off until probably anything.
Speaker B: Exactly.
Speaker A: But go ahead and take this one, Jeff.
Speaker B: Who's this? Ron White, Democrat. Oregon is asking Senate leaders to preserve Blockchain Regulatory Certainty act as passed by Senate Banking Committee in any version of Clarity act brought to the floor. That's a big deal. Gotta look into this. Ron Wyden, he's asking him to vote on it. Is that it? Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. In any version of the Clarity act he wants, anything, just vote on it. Comes amid uncertainty over whether certain Lakey law enforcement groups will accept the BRCA language and whether changes will be needed to win their support, as well as the votes of other Democrat senators like Cortez Masto and Mark Warner. There you go.
Speaker A: In a letter, the Democrats, Right, Catherine Cortez Mastro and you got Mark Warner, both Democrats, along with, uh, Ron Wyden, another Democrat.
Speaker B: Yeah. Interesting how they're pushing, huh?
Speaker A: Uh, well, we'll see. I mean, I don't know. I go ahead and finish this one up.
Speaker B: It's easy. It's easy to push when you know no one's going to vote on it. In a letter to th um and Schumer, Wyen says the provision would codify existing federal policy by clarif clarifying that non custodial software developers should not be treated as money transmitters solely for publishing software while preserving the dogs DOJ's and FinCEN's ability to pursue illicit actors like they normally do. Like, why would they lose control of realistic actors? Why didn't you have the standalone barcode BRCA legislation in the Senate alongside Senator Loomis? Like hummus.
Speaker A: Rhymes with hummus. Hummus, hummus. So the funny thing here is like, they're always worried about it. Like, what's her name, that loudmouth fake Indian Warren was going off about Trump. Oh, uh, we should protect him at all costs. I'm like, listen, honey, you guys, you guys are doubling down and making fortune in the stock market and you're worried about crypto? Seriously, why don't you take care of your own house first and why don't you drain the swamp over there like that Nancy Pelosi. There were no many apps to Word that were just tracking her trades and people were up 40, 50% just. Just about her trades alone.
Speaker B: That's right. It's nice to have insider information, but for some reason.
Speaker A: Yeah, for some reason that nut job was all worried about it. And um, we talked a little bit about Franklin Templeton. We're going to watch this. This is our old pal.
Speaker E: She's.
Speaker A: Berlin is going to come on her at some point who is the CEO and founder of Evernorth. And um, like I said, I had a chance to meet him in person. It was really kind of fun. Let me see if I can find
Speaker B: this, uh, you know, that's how good my camera's working.
Speaker E: Yeah.
Speaker A: What happened?
Speaker B: I fixed it with AI.
Speaker A: Well, thank God, man.
Speaker B: I had AI go in and find all the, ah, problems. Also there's all these problems inside your computer that can just kind of go haywire. Everything.
Speaker A: That's awesome, man. Yeah. I find that, um, I have to use it to navigate meta ads. It's the worst human interface ever invented. It looks like it was done in like the early, like, uh, you remember how Windows was kind of clunky looking. It's kind of like weird, right? But then they like made it better over time. No, this is not meta. Meta is like the worst software you've ever used. Like, you can tell they built it over like 15 years. They put this here and they hid this here half the time. And I use it all the time, Jeff. And I still don't know. I gotta, I gotta take a screenshot and put it into one of the AI programs and say, hey, how do I do this basic thing? Oh, you're on the wrong screen. You got to click this and you got to click that. Then you got to scroll down to this. Then you got to find a hidden button. Then you got to click the hidden button. Then you got to scroll down further. I'm like, oh, that's it. And then, uh, somebody turned me on to an AI program that you connect. It's an MPC MCP server. You. And yes. You connect it up with Claude and then you just query. You don't even have to go look. You just say, do this and it does it. Thank God. So here we are. This is, this is a she's Burla and he's interviewing one of the top dudes over there at, um. It is Franklin Templeton.
Speaker B: It's catching all your dreams.
Speaker A: So all your dreams are going to come true. Visual vendetta. Yeah. Dream. It's a dream catcher. Hell yeah. It's A dream catcher, right?
Speaker B: How do you get your dreams back if it catches them?
Speaker A: I think that's it, man. It just stolen, gone. That was supposed to be over. Wasn't that supposed to be over the bed or over you or something like that, if I remember on the wall somewhere in the bedroom to be a dream catcher, I don't know, a dream weaver. How do you, how do you evaluate the right chain and specifically like, where does XRP fit into that and what are you excited about, um, with regards to, you know, XRP and institutional adoption and also the chains that come to you, which I'm sure are coming to you weekly at this point?
Speaker F: Well, yeah, because there's a lot of new chains too. And I think one of the things that were another trend that you see, uh, globally is that very large institutions, kind of whales that are sitting out there in the global economy are finding, you know, they're, they're understanding this ecosystem a little bit more and they're trying to migrate people to using, you know, chains or side chains that they have decided, uh, to kind of adopt. And so you do see a proliferation of that. And you know, you know, from Franklin Temples perspective, we're going to go where the customers are, quite frankly. Right. You're always listening to your customers. And um, you know, XRP and the community around XRP is, is pretty aggressive at, uh, you know, growing and iterating for these purposes, um, these trillion, trillions, trillions of dollars purposes that, you know, that we've been speaking about before. And so we have a lot of enthusiasm about working with the team specifically, you know, when our journey started with the global regulators and you know, we touch a lot of different global regulators, we did create a kind of a selection criteria that kind of, I hesitate to use the word protocol, but it does become kind of a standard when you're the first one through the door and you're, you're, you're learning up these regulators, quite frankly, toward, you know, not that you're, you know, trying to be a, a decentralized, permissionless issuer of an asset, but you're actually, oh, you're in a securities business and you're permissioned and you're just trying to use these rails as your underlying, you know, data kind of database operating system, by and large. Um, and so there's a number of things that we kind of punched through there with the regulators to put that template in place. But we think that, you know, XRP is, you know, well past the journey of even new chains.
Speaker A: You know, did you See that, Jeff? Well past the journey, saying it's season, saying it's been around a while. And why did Franklin Templeton. Well, regulatory stuff. They talked about institutions. It's well past the journey of a lot of these chains. So that's. That's a very interesting sort of insight there.
Speaker B: Very interesting take on it. I'm trying to see if he was wearing a cardigan.
Speaker A: Yeah, let's put this.
Speaker F: And then I think, quite frankly, one of the things I like the most as the technology at XRP continues to iterate is just the leadership. I. When I go in, if you know
Speaker A: what we need to get, we need to get like official OTC cardigans with a patch on it. It's like a smoking jacket, you know, a pipe. You know what I mean?
Speaker B: Except what? The badassery logo.
Speaker A: Badassery logo on one side, OTC on the other.
Speaker B: Oh, that'd be kick ass.
Speaker A: And I like that too. Kind of cool like that, you know, like with one of those.
Speaker B: Cool. Oh, you know what? We'll get the badassery logo on the sleeve.
Speaker A: Oh, even better. I like that because then you see it right there.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: Kind of like my number three on there.
Speaker B: Exactly. I like it.
Speaker A: A giant horsey. It's my uniform, Jeff. I wear Ralph Lauren or Carhartt. That's all I have. That's all I own.
Speaker B: Car heart.
Speaker A: It's car heart for the working side, and I wear this for the business side. That's what I do. This one here says that, uh, from Visual Vendetta, Fox News interview with Cynthia Lummis, where she said they're working hard to push the Clarity act is so bullish. Yeah, I think. I think if you're on the wrong. See, the problem is you got the midterms coming up, and I think if they're. If, you know, the Democrats are trying to read the tea leaves a little bit, they know that the primary were largely funded by pro crypto. The pro crypto candidates won. They don't want to be on the opposite side with the midterms coming up. Jeff, if you kind of read between the delays, now all of a sudden you got three Democrats. M. We just got to vote on this. We got to push it through. They don't want to. They don't. They want to give the illusion that they're not the anti everything Democrats, which of course they are.
Speaker B: They are. And we have more crypto people running this time around, too.
Speaker A: So there's more crypto people running and there's more money out there than Ever before. That's sort of fueling the whole thing. And I think that's a welcome site as well. I have to say that that in itself is just, um, just huge. And, um, this is good news too. Like, funny enough, we've got a lot of Graham Platner stories here, but he officially, this is like, just happened 20 minutes ago. He officially dropped out of the Senate race. And all of the weirdos and losers that endorsed the guy who had a shady past, it was. And they were like, we're gonna vote for him. And, you know, Elizabeth Warren, that's my guy, and I give my full endorsement. Now they're looking like they have egg on their face. Another woman coming forward and she was raped. You have other weird stuff where he was hanging around the Dark web and a lot of kids were hanging there. I mean, just like, there's a lot of things. The Nazi tattoo, the Heil Hitler. I mean, and like, they were just like, yes, socialism. And recently, last couple days are like, oh, I mean, you play the comments before, like, I don't know anything. You know, they, uh, they were sort of. They didn't know. I mean, that's the true story. They don't know anything. But they're like, no, I don't know if I said that. I don't know. And funny enough, this question, which was really a good question, was posed to President Trump here today. Listen to this.
Speaker C: Communism.
Speaker G: Um, you've been issuing a wake up call to Americans at home about the dangers of communism. And now you're speaking on the world stage.
Speaker A: What's your message to people both living
Speaker G: under communist and socialist regimes, but also
Speaker A: people living under democracies like in Europe and America, who might not have realized
Speaker G: how close communism has come to home?
Speaker H: Yeah, that's a great question, actually. But look, I want to get the word out, because what's forming is of communism in the country. And communism's easy to sell. I would be the greatest communist in history. I'd be right up there with Lenin. I'd be as good as anybody. You've got free rent for the rest of your life. What they don't say is that you'll be living in squalor in 12 months. You've got the free house. Would anybody like to have a free house? We'll take it away from somebody, we'll give it to you. You'll have murders all over the place. Communism is a disaster. It's been proven to be for thousands of years under different names, but same thing. It's, um, very important and, you know, it's funny. One of the reasons I do so well with Hispanic people, I set a record. Republicans, I get great numbers for the election, helped me get elected in a landslide. The Hispanics, because a lot of them came from countries that were essentially communist. You know, whether you call them radical socialist or communist is not that much, but there's a little difference. When they say social Democrats, we're Social Democrats. It sounds so nice. It's not nice. It's a very dangerous term. So I do talk about it, and I talk about it on TikTok, and I talk about it everywhere. I talk about it here. And you're right, it has become international. But, uh, it's never worked, and it's not going to work. What is working is the United States. Think of it. We have more jobs than we've ever had, that people are making more money than they've ever made. I'm talking about workers now. Talking about workers. They're making higher salaries than they've ever made before. It's just the best system.
Speaker A: It's right, man. Um, 100, right. Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker B: Trump ideology. 2028.
Speaker A: Better believe 2028. Run, run, run, run, run. Reindeer. Yeah.
Speaker B: No, that's not Rubio right there, front and center.
Speaker A: Yeah, Ruby is. Ruby is the man. I mean, he really is the man.
Speaker B: Act up for 28. Right now, as it stands, what's interesting,
Speaker A: Jeff, is we are apparently, uh, raining hell down. Um, helicopters are basically patrolling the, uh, straight of our moves and just, like, dropping all kinds of bombs and stuff because of the, uh, because of what's going on over there.
Speaker B: So it's over. That's what Trump said. He's sick and tired of, uh, doesn't listen to those lion fiends over there.
Speaker A: Well, this. Somebody asked him the question. Somebody posed that very question to it, Jeff. Now, when, now when he answers, watch Rubio's face over his left, his left, uh, shoulder. Watch this. Ready? New York Times. Last month, you said Iranian leaders were
Speaker F: very rational people, nice people to deal
Speaker A: with, strong people, smart people. Today you said they were scum, sick people and being led by sick people. What changed?
Speaker H: And do you think I got to know. So I've said that about a lot. Now when you say rational, I think they're much more, uh.
Speaker A: Well, what would change? I got to know them. I mean, that's what.
Speaker B: It's a pretty good answer, really is cracking up. He's just waiting for this film.
Speaker A: Ruby has got the straightest face. Look at. Watch, watch his. Watch his lips. They kind of start curling up into a full blown. Watch. He's the curl down now watch this.
Speaker G: Ready?
Speaker A: Watch his face.
Speaker H: I've said that about a lot. Now, when you say rational, I think they're much more rational than level one, level two. Level one is gone. Level two is gone. This is level three. I think they are more rational, but based on their actions over the last week or two, uh, they're not, they're not doing a service to the people. And I think more than anything else is, I got to know them and I'm not sure I want to make a deal with them. We can play games, but I'm not sure I want to make a deal. Let's just finish the job.
Speaker B: Uh, there you go.
Speaker A: This was always the plan. Listen, don't, don't, don't think Trump has been swindled. Don't think he always gives people plenty of chances to do the right thing before he rains down holy hell. He'd say, like, well, we gave him this chance. We gave him that chance. We gave him this chance. They said, they do this. They didn't do this. They said, we're gonna do that. They didn't do that. Then they agreed to this. They didn't follow through. They said this. Uh, and after 10, 15 times, you reign holy hell. You take them out and then you start out and then you, then you're talking to the new leadership who are the people of Iran and the non Islamic people. And there's no more Islamic Republic of Iran. It's gone, done.
Speaker B: They got to get rid of it. They'll be the first one to fall. And you notice also you're getting Palestinian fatigue also all around the world they're saying, same thing with this Iranian jihadi. Even in Lebanon, it's a really good video. They're taking back the streets from Hezbollah. People are fed up with it. They don't want the proxies from, uh, from Iran anymore. Just get it over. The world will be a better place.
Speaker A: Well, look at this one.
Speaker G: This.
Speaker A: Trump was at the White House and someone, um, asked him about Spain. And, um, he's got the, the. Who's the guy that Mark, um, I think his last name. The guy that's in charge of NATO.
Speaker H: Right.
Speaker A: But he's sitting right there with them. This is uncomfortable. When Trump says, cut Spain off. Watch this.
Speaker H: And I want to thank Mark. He's been a great Secretary General of NATO. I'm not happy with NATO because of what they did with Greenland, and I'm not happy with NATO because Of the fact that they didn't want to help us with the number one state sponsor of terror, that's Iran. They were unwilling to help us. Now, in all fairness, I didn't speak to Mark about it. I think if I did, it might have been different, but we didn't need help. But I was really testing. I wanted to see whether or not they'd be there. And the answer is they were. I spoke to Germany, I spoke to France, spoke to uk, spoke to Italy. I spoke to. I didn't speak to Spain. Spain is a wasted cause. We, uh, don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore. By the way, I'd like you to cut it off. Uh, Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don't participate, they don't pay. I don't want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please. Including visits. Okay. We don't want anything to do. Watch them. Watch them come running back. Oh, they'll come running back. They treat this man terribly. And this man's a good man, too. Great man. They're lucky they have him. M. But Spain doesn't agree to anything. And you shouldn't carry him. I mean, you'll so of automatically carry because you're protecting an area. So they're there. So they probably figured they have to protect us, right? But, uh, we don't have to. And we don't have to trade with them. I don't want to do any more trade with them. All right? Take it immediately. Don't even talk to them. They're hopeless, bad people because, you know, they have everybody else going and paying and working in Spain, in particular Spain, there are a couple of others, but in particular Spain, they're open about it, they're hostile about it, and, uh, let's see how so they remain when they call up and they. Please, please, we want to trade with you, sir. We want to trade with you, sir. They make so much money with us, and we're going to see that they make a lot less. I want no business with them.
Speaker B: Holy cow. Talk about, boy. He's on fire. That's it.
Speaker A: Jeff Roman says, what do you think of that? Social media Muslim Sneako declaring New York a Muslim state. Yeah, I think Sneako is on borrowed time, if you want to know the truth. I don't think Nico is going to be much around very often in the, um. Yeah, they can declare all they want. Listen, let them, you know, like. Like I always say, you know, never interrupt your enemy when they're in the process of destroying themselves. And they're doing a pretty good job of it right now. Um, there was a really good, um, some clips that we're going to play off of Rogan. And, uh, I, I just, I, I think there's, I think the tide's really changing. I'm starting to see it in Europe. People are fed up. You saw, Jeff, when they came here, the Europeans, they have a very different. And of course they told their family and friends and of course some of those videos got out unfortunately, you know, you know, due to the propaganda networks over there. And uh, they're like, hey, they lied to us. It was dangerous. That it was this, that it was that. They found nothing of the sort. They found, found great food, great people, hospitality, you know, warm people, people willing to do anything and have fun with them. And you know, man, it's a very different scenario than what they were, what they were ultimately thinking. It's crazy how that happens, Jeff.
Speaker B: It's insane. Totally insane.
Speaker A: Crazy how it happens.
Speaker B: Well, it's good, good to see things are, are coming full circle. Europe, you know, you saw the protests in the streets across the board, you know, from England to Northern Ireland, all over the place. They're totally fed up. Fed up.
Speaker A: Now watch this video here. This is Swalwell and Platner. Uh, this is. Listen how tightly wound this is here. Remember, this is. Listen to this that you see and hear from me directly. I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious and false allegations against me. These allegations of sexual assault are, uh, flat false. Any accusation of non consensual behavior is categorically false.
Speaker F: I'm going to spend time with my
Speaker A: family and friends and I appreciate those who have reached out to me to show support. We are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love.
Speaker G: Mark.
Speaker A: And they're both gone.
Speaker B: They're gone.
Speaker A: They got rid of Swalwall real quick. Swallow was the darling, but they got rid of him. And then all of a sudden, Platner's, uh, out. How funny is that?
Speaker B: Uh, hey, you know, else popped up in the news yesterday was Gillum.
Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I got arrested.
Speaker B: Yeah, all over the news.
Speaker A: Gylum. What a weird in. In. Desantis won by a half a percent. That's how close that guy was. And like three weeks after the election, he woke up naked in some guy's apartment with a bunch of, you know, blow or whatever. I mean, just by coincidence, with a bunch of gay guys. And he wasn't gays. He wasn't gay. Just. He doesn't do drugs. He's drugs that was passed out from something. But now this is the, uh, this is the couple that, um, vetted Platner right here. And of course, a little parody, because obviously one of them's not real at this point.
Speaker E: You hadn't vetted the weird voice Platner. You hadn't done a full scrub of who he is. How did you go about vetting him,
Speaker A: and why did you.
Speaker D: We paid, uh. Yeah, we paid. We paid a nice firm a whole chunk of money.
Speaker A: This is the real. This is the couple. And we got a parody of this, but they're snickering, like, listen to this. I mean, this guy. I mean, there's so many allegations against this guy. This is the guy with the weird voice. Like, who is. Who are these people?
Speaker D: Got some stuff back. Some, um, of what you've seen in the news, we got back. Other stuff we didn't, um.
Speaker E: Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became so controversial? No, the Reddit posts did that turn up in the vetting process?
Speaker D: The firm sent us, uh, a thing, and it had some of the posts, but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker E: And what did you think about that? How did you think your way through the fact that he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker D: I said none of this will or should stop him from becoming a U.S. senator.
Speaker E: And what was your thinking there?
Speaker D: I think if what the voters wanted were people who were grown in vats and had never done or said anything that they might regret their entire lives, we'd have a very different country. Part of our thesis here is that people do not want their candidates grown in bats. They want people who are real human beings.
Speaker A: Yeah, speaking of real human beings, Jeff, who talks like this? Uh, people. Real people. And those people that get the question
Speaker D: at the end, and they want people who do not look and sound like the background people who've been leading this country off a cliff.
Speaker A: They look and sound like you, though, right?
Speaker D: Mr. Far last century?
Speaker A: Anyway, that's enough of that. There's the parody. One is much better.
Speaker B: Jeff, that was the Great planner.
Speaker E: You hadn't done a full scrub of who he is. How did you go about vetting him,
Speaker H: and why did you?
Speaker D: We paid, uh. Yeah, we paid a. We paid a nice firm a whole chunk of money and got some stuff back. Some of what you've seen on the news, we got back. Other stuff we didn't, um.
Speaker E: Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became so Controversial? No.
Speaker G: Also, everyone's, like, freaking out about this tattoo. It's not what you think it is. It's just a Nazi tattoo.
Speaker E: The Reddit posts, did that turn up in the vetting process?
Speaker G: We don't believe that people are responsible for the things they say on the Internet. The Internet, it's made up. It's not real. You know, it's like, uh, gender or Israel.
Speaker D: The firm sent us a thing, and it had some of the posts, but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker E: And what did you think about that? How did you. How did you think your way through the fact that he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker D: I said none of this will or should stop him from becoming a U.S. senator.
Speaker E: And what was your thinking?
Speaker G: There is Graham Platner perfect, no. Were there some rape allegations? Yeah, a couple. But in Maine, we actually have this event once a month called Rape Roll fools, where for 24 hours, it's actually not a crime. Uh, it's kind of like the Purge meets American Pie. It's a lot of fun.
Speaker D: I think if what the voters wanted were people who were grown in bats and had never, ever done or said anything.
Speaker A: Listen, that guy. I mean, these are the people who are vetting. They paid some firm. I don't know what's going on over there, but if Platner is out, Jeff, are they gonna pull a Kamala Harris and say we're gonna anoint somebody else? Not gonna have a primary.
Speaker B: Right? Right.
Speaker H: I don't know.
Speaker A: I mean, they're not gonna have a primary. I mean, did they have. Did they have to appoint Kamala M. Maybe. Here we go. Let's take a look at the Democrats who didn't have a problem with any of these rape allegations. The Nazi tattoo, the questionable stuff, the, uh, dark web stuff with young kids. No, none of that stuff. But here. Let's go. Of course. Here's Bernie Sanders leading the. Leading the way. Everything I can to make sure that Graham Platner is the next senator from
Speaker B: the state of Maine.
Speaker A: I'm endorsing Graham Platner for Senate in May, and here's the reason why. Graham Platner is the real deal. That's my kind of man.
Speaker B: No one thinks of him as the
Speaker A: future of the party.
Speaker B: You know, he was very weak. He didn't want to support, uh, Graham Platner. He was out there trying to get Janet Mills even.
Speaker F: He now sees that Platner is the
Speaker B: best chance to win the state one overwhelmingly last night.
Speaker A: Do I want Graham Platner to win? This race.
Speaker B: Absolutely, I do, for a million different reasons.
Speaker A: On Graham Platner, are you satisfied with the explanations he's given for the controversies
Speaker H: his campaign has faced right now? Are you concerned about what we've heard?
Speaker A: I met with Graham Platler today. We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back. The Senate said, if you're still endorsing
Speaker H: Graham Platter, are you still supporting Graham?
Speaker A: As I said, I endorsed Graham Platner. We're going to take back. We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back. Jeez.
Speaker E: Mhm.
Speaker B: Shows how evil they are. And they just, they don't care. It's all about power.
Speaker A: Win at any cost, Jeff.
Speaker B: Win it now.
Speaker A: Uh, look at this. Why is there. Why is the man who had a stroke, who. Apparently his brain healed after the stroke. You know who I'm talking about, Jeff. Why is he the only sensible Democrat? But here he is, Bernie Sanders.
Speaker G: But your party was willing, your party leaders, not you, was willing to look, um, past all these other allegations against him, from the other woman who said he grabbed her, uh, to the tattoo, the Nazi tattoo, to all the other Reddit posts, um, that had been dug up. So they were willing to overlook all of that because he was their star.
Speaker H: Yeah.
Speaker I: Ah, I mean, I refuse to overlook that, but honestly, I would, I would really call Bernie, uh, Sanders to apologize, uh, for pushing this kind of predator. More than anyone, he helped him elect and now apologize to the victims, especially the woman that she claimed that he raped her. So I don't know why you want to keep pushing these kinds of people. Uh, maybe he should consider, set a few out and stop pushing these kind of communists and people. And now people, you know, like, like P Hustle. Now he has been.
Speaker A: That's so funny. He calls him P Hustle. This is how Graham Platner referred to himself as P. Hustle. So it's funny, I don't think people like, no, it's kind of like inside stuff, but. But it's so funny. The Fetterman calls him P Hustle, credibly accused of rape.
Speaker I: And that's fairly recent, too. That was only less than five years ago.
Speaker G: Well, he said the, uh, allegations are untrue, but that he's basically reviewing his options. His. He's obviously going to drop out.
Speaker F: Correct?
Speaker I: Well, he was already a dead man walking politically. Uh, so regardless, now, now when the entire Democratic Democratic Party in Maine has called him to leave. Uh, and now also, as far as I know, whether it's Schumer, Gillibrand and other leadership in the DS and other people have all called them, had to go, uh, he's a dead man walking. I don't know why he's trying to pretend that he's not done to even those pods save America people that pushed that dirt bag, you know, and they dismissed those things in the New York Times article. Maybe they ought to apologize to the women that clearly they didn't believe or they dismissed that. I know, I know Democrats that have, you know, back to back endorsed and got all in on Swalwell, and we're on the Platner train as well, too. So maybe stop, you know, getting on bed with absolute dirt bags. Someone like Platner.
Speaker A: This is incredible, Jeff. You have a Democrat calling them out as dirt bags. Geez. Do you think, uh, I mean, it's really remarkable. I mean, who knew that that Fetterman would have had a stroke and his brain would have healed from it? This is Dave. Dave says that his granny is first generation usa. Her parents migrated from Spain. They're so hard working, thoughtful and loving, very eye opening to see how much could change and happen in a generation or two. It's so true. You know, um, yeah, if, you know, I have friends that, you know, um, we're in Spain. My, My daughter was in Spain for, you know, she studied over there. She did a semester over there. Loved it. And uh, my. Both my daughters did actually, um, they did a semester in Spain and, uh, they love it. They both speak Spanish. Um, they're fluent in Spanish because of their mom, not because of me, that's for sure. Not because of me. I'm do my best to speak English, Jeff, but, um, but yeah, and it was great. My youngest one who just did that a year, a year and a half ago, she said. I said, how was it? She said, it was great. All my friends wanted me to speak for them and I was like, oh, great. So, I mean, the part that when they went to parts that didn't speak a lot, a lot of people, they speak the pretty fluent English over there, but a lot of times she just would. Would just, uh, you know, speak Spanish all the time. And she loved it. Now my older daughter is way more fluent. The younger one's kind of.
Speaker B: She's.
Speaker A: She's good, but she's not as, um, she prefers English. The other one can flip back and forth and Portuguese too. So. Very accomplished. Very accomplished.
Speaker E: She speaks.
Speaker G: For.
Speaker A: I was watching her speak. I know I've seen her speak Spanish, but watching her speak Portuguese was quite the. Quite the sight. I was like, whoa, Hello. And they're similar, but they're. They're not the same.
Speaker B: They're different. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker A: They're different. There's some similarities here and there, but, um, Jim D. Says McConnell's wife's desperately visiting China, secure deals before hubby's declared MIA. Yeah, that's 100. How about McConnell coming back? Well, Chris, you don't even know this, but this is very true. Let me show you the video right here. I've got the video of McConnell coming back. You probably haven't seen this yet, but check this out. Here he is. So for people listening in on the pod, it's, uh, it's thune in the ring and, like an mm. You know, the World Wrestling. Whatever that wrestling thing is. I don't know, the foundation, whatever they call it. But he's left opening a casket, and Mitch pops out of it because he's going to vote for clarity Act. That's what he wants to do, Jeff. You know, the meme. The meme of the. The basket. What was her name? Uh, pointing at everyone. Well, this was this. Someone recently saw Mitch this. It was weird. So he was off.
Speaker B: It was like a zombie.
Speaker A: My God. Geez. What happened to Mitch, man? Geez, Mitch.
Speaker B: Now, uh, the Undertaker. That's what it was, right?
Speaker A: Undertaker? Yeah, that's what it was, right? The Undertaker. I'm not up on this pop culture stuff, Jeff. I was telling the story one time when I was in college, and it was, like, a freshman and in the dorms, and I was, like, meeting a lot of the, you know, meeting people and meeting the kids, and I was in a room, and there's probably, like, 10 guys standing around, and they all started talking about wrestling. And I was kind of, like, scoping the room, like. And they're like. And they kind of like, they were talking like they knew every person's name and this and that. Uh, and I felt like a complete, like, outcast. And I was like. And they go. They're like, chip, do you, like. Do you like wrestling? I'm like, yeah. Like, when I was, like, 10, I was like. I was. I was really into it. I was, like 8 or 10 years old. I thought it was great. You don't. You don't follow. I'm like. I mean, it's a bunch of men, like, act, play acting and doing. And they're really bad actors at that. And it's all scripted. And they were like, what? What do you mean it's scripted? It's real. And I thought, where the hell am I, man? I was like, they were like having this whole conversation about wrestling. I felt really weird. I go, hey, I gotta go get something. I was like, wow, this is a lot of weirdos. I'm like, yeah, but you guys are like 18 now. You really, uh, talking about wrestling moves? They're talking about, like, what happened, you know, the previous fight. And I was like, wow. Felt completely out of place there.
Speaker B: That's how I feel about boxing now.
Speaker A: That's kind of the same thing. You want to see. This is the kind of candidate. This is an Islamist candidate running in Michigan. Jeff, here he is right here. Listen to this. Yes.
Speaker B: He's about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. I've been clear that you can't reform ice, you can't retrain ice. You have to abolish ice.
Speaker A: So you have to abolish ice. Why is that, Jeff? Uh, you have. So you can't now, now, if you want to abolish the law, that's one thing, but you can't get rid of the enforcer that, that actually takes care of the law. Well, you can if you're a complete dirt bag, like this guy right here. But we have the Sophie Cunningham. Sophie Cunningham has been great. That, that whole thing and the meme blew up. That was fantastic, Jeff. I really love that DNI is here.
Speaker B: He's in the building.
Speaker A: Look who else is here. Xrp, Hollywood. Being a dirt ball is a prerequisite to be elected for Team Blue. Well, that and anti everything. It's like, are you anti this? Yes. And you know what? You know, now the platter is completely out of the picture. You know who's gearing up?
Speaker B: Kamala Ding dong.
Speaker A: You know who's gearing up? Nope. None other than Marco's preparing.
Speaker H: Marco, uh, looks like you're going to have to run as a progressive in Maine, right?
Speaker A: No means no. Uh, and if you had a look who's gonna be the next president? Just on the memes. The JD meme doesn't make sense to me now. Somebody did it. It was goofy afro, overweight jd. It doesn't look anything like him. Um, and that became the meme versus the Marco meme, which is Marco wears more hats, Marco does more jobs, Marco's doing everything. So you got the hard working dude and the fat goofy dude so much and the what?
Speaker B: And doing not. Not doing so much.
Speaker A: Yeah, not doing so much. I mean, he's, he's, he's doing a great job with that fraud thing, but geez, Marcos, Marco's pretty much everywhere, man. I mean, Everywhere that you need to be. And so we got some stuff about Spencer Pratt. Now the biggest mistake, Jeff.
Speaker B: Oh, he stepped out again.
Speaker A: The biggest calculation that, um, the left made here was keeping Spencer Pratt out of the LA mayorship. Geez. The one candidate who already conceded and needed enough votes to be the second. She surged when they were counting the votes two weeks later. And the first candidate got. But Bass got it. But no. Isn't that kind of weird, Jeff? Like that happened. Well, unfortunately, what happens here in scenarios like this is that you made him way more powerful. And I'm going to talk a little bit about that tonight. We're going to show you why.
Speaker B: So we got.
Speaker A: Here he is right here, Spencer Pratt. I, uh, hear the train coming. It's rolling around the bend and there's Johnny Cash with a giant fu Commie.
Speaker B: Tommy. Nice.
Speaker A: Fu Commie. So hit.
Speaker B: The stuff he's doing right now, it's amazing.
Speaker A: Is insane. And now, uh, he does whatever you want.
Speaker B: Say what he wants. He wants spend 100, whatever he wants.
Speaker A: Look at this, Jeff. Spencer Pratt says our biggest weakness today is the lack of courage and leadership and culture. Everyone wants common sense. Everyone's too afraid to demand it. So today we're launching the War Foundation. The War Foundation, Jeff. I donated to this. I'm like, I love it. Here it is right here. The War Foundation. Political corruption, innovative new media. Advocate for transparency, accountability, integrity and government culture. Restore common, um, sense and roll back the long march of socialism through our vital institutions.
Speaker B: I don't love that dude. War Nation isn't that great.
Speaker A: Together we're going to win the war against political corruption. We're going to CW right there. Win the war. Advocate for transparency, accountability, and then our restore common sense and roll back a long march. Okay? War Foundations being, uh, created to fight where others won't. We will use the same innovative arsenal that we use to capture the world's attention in our campaign. Hard hitting media, investigative research, educational campaign, strategic partnerships in, in government and push back on the communist rot. Shine a light on government failure, Challenge entrenched interest and empower citizens. What do you think about that, Jeff?
Speaker B: It's, um, it's definitely a throwback to, uh, another period of time when they went after commies throughout Hollywood. And so here we go again. You know, I think this is really important. Communism being branded as a democratic socialism that doesn't exist. It's a fake word. It's communism through and through. And they're running candidates, they got New York, hopefully that short term, but they're running candidates throughout the United States. And it's so critical to see Spencer Pratt shining a big, bright light on it. A lot of the fraud and deception is coming out of Hollywood, all the corruption of the youth, you know, and so this has to. This has to change. You know, it's just. It's got to change. And here's a guy ran, saw firsthand what they can do to get you out of an election. They did everything, you know, they cheated, they stole. They did what they could to get him out. And he's willing to fight back, and he's going to fight back at a much higher level. I love it. You know, the War Foundation, It's a massive pack. Hopefully it's a pack, so I'm assuming it's a pack. But there's so much more that those guys are going to be doing, and we haven't even, you know, seen, you know, the, the first of their, you
Speaker H: know, big, uh,
Speaker B: mma. There you go. How great was that too, mma?
Speaker A: Well, Chris is asking here. Ruby or Vance? I mean, for me, look, it's. Listen, I was never.
Speaker I: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A: I mean, even think like someone like, um, Donald's will make a great president. I think there's. There's something about the cult of personality. Now I see this here visual vendetta says Rubio for president. 28 Be good. But Charlie Kirk could have been perfect. I disagree with that. Um, as much as I love Charlie Kirk and as much as the work that he was doing was fantastic, he didn't, he didn't necessarily have that cult of personality. He didn't have that passion. Um, I've never seen him lose his cool. Like, you gotta have a little rough edges, man. You gotta look at. Trump has rough edges. Rubio doesn't take when he gets an interview. Um, you can't be over intellectual. Charlie Kirk was an intellectual. I mean, I just. I see more and more stuff every day. I watched this one debate where someone's. No, don't, you know, don't use the buzzwords and don't do this. And he just dismantled his knowledge of history. His knowledge was incredible, but not presidential material. Just in mind maybe, maybe later down the road if you, if you live. But I, I just. I didn't see that as his life's mission. And that just wasn't. Would have been mine. Um, Ruby revealed support either. Yep. Yeah. And the thing about Vance is, like, he's kind of that same type of dude. He's a very intellectual guy, super smart, almost to a fault where he.
Speaker B: Yeah, I was gonna Say no.
Speaker A: Uh, you listen to him talk and it's like, yeah, I don't disagree with anything he says.
Speaker E: It's just.
Speaker A: I'm bored out of my. Bored as f. Jeff. I'm bored out of my mind. I'm like, I can't. I'm like. Rubio's like. I watch him and he's like, all right, he's a little scruffy fighter, you know, and he's. He's back to the Rubio that get. You know, that we elected the. For the first and second term. And then he drifted for a while, then he came back.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: So you gotta love that.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: So two scumbags.
Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he said. He said, I'll.
Speaker A: No, he's watching the part about Swalwell and, uh, Platinum. Yeah, I agree. They are two scumbags. The whole Democratic partner is null and void of any sort of, uh, uh, uh, values or morals. I mean, you think women are men and men are women, and I mean, just like, they're detached from reality, man. But listen to this. Here we go.
Speaker J: Spencer Pratt.
Speaker A: Spencer Pratt. Spencer Pratt isn't going anywhere. Releasing a now viral new campaign ad. That ad racking up more than 10 million views in just 24 hours. That is one of the best political ads that I have ever seen.
Speaker F: That's one of the best political ads I've ever seen.
Speaker H: One of the best, best political ads, um, of all time.
Speaker J: Now that the campaign portion of my mission to save Los Angeles is coming to a close, and I'm moving on to the next, more interesting phase. You have no idea how bad things are about to get for this city. More of your favorite restaurants will be shuttering. That means less tax revenue. That means the city has to cut services. More potholes, less firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities.
Speaker C: I love that.
Speaker A: Spencer is just saying, look at what we can all see.
Speaker J: Look at this place already. Weeds growing from every cracking crevice. Graffiti over every square inch of public space. Garbage, drugs, feces burned up dogs burned down towns, abandoned storefronts. This city is a mess. All while corrupt politicians and fraudulent NGOs profit off the misery and fleece us for the tax dollars. Well, now we're flipping the script. I didn't get in this for political power. I got in this to expose this corrupt machine. And nothing has changed. Every week, I'm going into the belly of the beast, bringing you hard hitting cinematic documentaries exposing the fraud and corruption in California.
Speaker A: There was a body that they found yesterday. Someone is making Money in City hall on the distribution of the needles. It's all illegal.
Speaker B: Everything we're looking at is illegal.
Speaker J: Talking to business owners, covering the issues the media doesn't want you to see, and breaking down complex issues into digestible content to educate and inspire people to make real change.
Speaker F: All you have to do is show people.
Speaker J: If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait.
Speaker A: It's war. They made a big miscalculation. They just made this guy more powerful than ever. He's starting this foundation. Money's flooding in. He's going to become, you know, who's that kid that's always exposing everything that's running around? Nick Shirley. He's going to be, like, as big or bigger than Nick Shirley. He's going to be. And what you're seeing is that the independent journalists are putting a shame. Look at a kid. I think next year is at 23 years old. Was he 23?
Speaker B: I think he's 23.
Speaker A: 23 years old. He's doing. He's running circles around that. That would have been 60 Minutes, you know, 30, 40 years ago.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: And then you got. Now you got. You know, it's just. It's a great time to be alive. The stuff's getting exposed. The propaganda is going away. And, um, you know, like I said, the biggest success of the World cup, the games have been exciting, except for the US which they should have lined them up outside of that match. They should have had every fan punch him in the face as hard as they can and then kick them, and then when they're down, kick him again. Because it was an embarrassment to the team, was an embarrassment to the country, and they ought to just all be disbanded. I mean, the one thing that I will say is Baligan came out with a great message and said, man, we let you down. We let down our country. So super sorry. I feel shame. Thank God, the one man that had the courage to stand up. I saw Landon Donovan, who last played, I think, in 2014. He was the Chris Pulisic of the time. Now, uh, granted, there wasn't a lot of. There wasn't a lot of, uh, you know, social media, but he's like, I would have effing done this and effing done that. The doctors, you would not. I would have gone to the doctor and I would have punched them in the face. You're not pulling me off the field for any reason. Then he admitted that in 2014, he played. I forgot what the team he played. I think it was Syria. He played them, uh, with a. With a pulled hamstring.
Speaker B: He played some of these guys. I mean, it's amazing because they're.
Speaker A: Because they're men.
Speaker D: Men.
Speaker A: And that Chris Pulisic was a. Just a waste. Baligan. Thank God. That guy could have played for uk. He could have played for Africa, and he chose to play for the U.S. you know, and he's a good dude. And he, you know, he scored a couple goals.
Speaker B: It was such an embarrassment.
Speaker A: That was an embarrassment. And punch, uh, them all in the face. It was. They. They couldn't even pass. They couldn't hold the formation. They couldn't hold the triangle formation. Every time the goal, the keeper kicked it downfield. They turned it over every single time. I mean, if you were Belgium, what,
Speaker B: you dominated by Belgium.
Speaker D: Did you do nothing?
Speaker A: He just kind of just. They were kicking around. La la. Um, they broke open the defense. The defense was ridiculous. How about the goalkeeper?
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: Instead of kicking the ball and clearing, he puts his foot in the ground and, you know, it was an embarrassment.
Speaker B: I.
Speaker A: Listen, there was. I remember Landon Donovan. It was. They were down by one goal. They played their hearts out. They. They just had a salt. At the end of the game, balls come and flying and they lost. You say, you know what? They gave it everything. They gave nothing. This was an embarrassment. I mean, it's embarrassed the United States and the world stage. You know what? Punch them all in the face. That's what I say. That's, like horrible, Jeff. You can tell the soccer. I've been watching the World cup since the 90s. I don't miss it. I love, you know. You know, you're a big soccer fan, Jeff, and I used to be a bigger fan, but I never missed the World Cup. I never missed the Euro cup concap. I love watching all the competition. And it was just, um. It was embarrassing, man. It was just simply an embarrassment. I don't know where to say it, but, gosh, it was just, uh, it was rough. And then. And then here's another Spencer Pratt. I mean, you know, I remember seeing that show, that he was on that reality show, and he kind of played like a villain. I thought it was stupid. I watched a couple times, and Heidi was his girlfriend, and now she's his wife. But this dude, man, this dude is something else. He really is. You gotta love the fire that's inside this dude. Here's Spencer Pratt. He said, if you look closely now, he's at the White House. He was in Trump's office saying. He was talking about La the city he loves. Yeah, the Euro cup is fantastic. I love the Euro Cup. I was at the Euro cup in 2000. It was when it was in the Netherlands and Belgium. Um, if you look closely, it reads, we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal. Except for communists. Just gotta love it. Who would have thought? Spencer Pratt.
Speaker B: Spencer Pratt, man.
Speaker A: I thought this guy would have turned out to be a, a political hero, Jeff.
Speaker B: Um, you never know. You never know what's going to motivate someone to get actively involved and then step up to another level. And they, they burn his house down or they don't let him rebuild after the house burns down. Pisses, get pissed him off. The fire and passion this guy's got. Then they screw him out of the election. So, you know, now, here you go. This guy's doing some amazing things. Amazing.
Speaker A: You gotta love it, man. Like I said this, like in the editing of his stuff. The fast nature and the way he talks, it just is really fantastic. So here we go. Here's a couple clips. Um, let's, let's, let's segue on here. But I want to play this right here. Here's Low from the runs of Restore, um, Party over there. And Nigel, uh, Farage just. I don't know what he's doing. He's lost soul, man. He just resigned because they own 48 of the seeds and he's trying to prove a point. It's just that dude left the building. I mean, Farage is not the guy. It's Rupert Lowe all the way. But here's Rupert Lowe. Here's some excerpts from him on Rogan. Listen to this.
Speaker C: Um, you, uh, know the, the, the, the Islamic code, I think that the Muslims are frightened of, of female sexuality. It's, it's all, it's all there. And as you know, you get fgm, uh, female genital, uh, mutilation. So, uh, these, these cultures, I think, Joe, uh, and to your point, are just incompatible unless you have a very strong government which basically protects its electorate from any subversive behavior which is not compatible with our values.
Speaker A: Spot on, man. This is the only guy willing to say what needs to be said. This is why he's. This, you know, it's growing so quickly
Speaker C: about servitude and about, you know, there's other stories in here about women having to lick the face, the feet of their, of their rapists. It, it's, it's about power, it's about servitude, and it's about the fact that Muslim Men are taught to believe that they are superior not only to women, but they're superior to people like yourself and myself, who are considered to be, uh, uh, uh, uh, if you like, the, the infidels. And, and their job is to effectively spread, uh, Islam, uh, and effectively punish the infidel. And, and as you probably know, in the Crusades, if you lost to Saladin and you were a Knights Templar, a crusader, you had two choices. You either converted to Islam or they killed you. And in the case of a lot of these girls, a lot of them were made pregnant, they were impregnated, and they then had to convert to Islam. Uh, some of them were trafficked to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, um, other parts of the world.
Speaker A: That's disgusting.
Speaker B: Yep.
Speaker A: One more clip here.
Speaker C: It's in bad shape. And, uh.
Speaker A: Yes. And that's why you're here. And this is what we're talking about.
Speaker C: We're talking with the rape gang. We've, We've done. This is a. We've crowdfunded this.
Speaker D: Okay.
Speaker C: Uh, which I'm very happy to talk to you about.
Speaker A: Just this title of that rape gang report.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: The idea that there's rape. There's actual rape gangs in the UK in 2026. And it's. Is it being ignored? Is it being downplayed? Like, how is it being received by the media and by the politicians over there?
Speaker C: Well, the history of it is that basically, as you probably know, uh, Britain, after the war, decided they were going to play a part in Europe, a bigger part in Europe. Well, our elite did, the British elite. And to do that, they had to basically diminish the power of the nation state, and they had to head towards this European superstate, which is the eu. The genesis of which was obviously, why
Speaker A: did they have to diminish the power of the nation to do that?
Speaker C: Because I think Britain was a proud nation state. With the American help, we'd won the war, and we hadn't been, uh, invaded or conquered, which most of Europe had been. So you'd had mass, uh, dislocation in Europe. Huge numbers of people had been dislocated and pushed all over. All over Europe. And I think the socialists. I was in the European Parliament, so I spent a brief time, uh, as an mep, uh, a member of the European Parliament, uh, when we finally achieved, well, a kind of Brexit, we can talk about that. But it wasn't a proper Brexit. So I. I think the genesis of the rape gangs, going back to this was the fact that multiculturalism was the order of the day. They wanted open borders, they wanted a multicultural society. They. They basically felt the nation state had been the cause of world wars, effectively starting with Napoleon. Then obviously we had, uh, the Kaiser, then we had Hitler. And I think they saw it that way. The Monets, the Spinellis, and the people who constructed the European Union. So to. To. To the rape gang report, which was your question, ultimately, that, that the genesis of that is this multicultural invasion almost of. Of Europe.
Speaker A: Man, it's a really great interview, man. These are just some of the clips that were pulled, but, man, I can tell you it's. It's very spot on. The time is right. Sometimes you see a leader emerge that is willing to speak the truth, and a guy like Rupert Lowe, who is. Yeah, I mean, um, this is the guy that can help turn around the UK and, And saved Great Britain and, you know, and everything else. Or, man, don't mess with the Irish. The Irish don't take. Take it lightly. Um, this, obviously, yeah, the Argentina game was epic, man. I'm like, 82nd minute, I'm like, they're down. How is Argentina down? Two nothing. Then they come back and crush that, man, and then Argentina will. This is right here. Argentina will take the cup this year. I don't know, man. France and I don't rule the Vikings out, man. Norway do not. There's something. When they get on a run, man, uh, do not them out. And I also think. I still think France is a solid team, man. I don't know. And Bobby, I mean, I think that I could be wrong. And, and look, Argentina took it last time. I'm a big Messi fan. I love Messi. I'm super happy that he's got 23 goals. I don't. You know, Bobby's like, right behind that. And Bobby's younger, too, but, I mean, you got a guy who's basically 38 years old. You had Cristiano Ronaldo 40, 41 years old. It'll be his last one. I don't see Messi playing. I mean, Messi plays for Miami, um, in the States here, and I don't see him. You saw how much he walked out there, right? He's walking everywhere, walking. But when it counted, he put the goals in. But, you know, he's 38 years old. That's old. I mean, even Ronaldo's a freaking nature. I mean, Jesus, it's hard. Hard to even understand.
Speaker B: Yeah, you get to a certain point in any sports like that, and they're. They're already at the. At the Tail end. You just gotta go out. And this is, um. It's like a last hurrah here for the.
Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. There's a very. And Messi did not have a great cup. I was really surprised when he was coming this time because he did not have a great World cup the last time. But I have to tell you, man, the guy's been epic. But you want to see a preview, Jeff, of, uh, of England versus Norway. Here we go.
Speaker B: I can't wait.
Speaker A: SAM M. There's a longer version of this. It's awesome. There's the full version, widescreen, everything. But I played the shorter version. Whoever did that is a genius. I mean, if you're. Anything I was invented for is right there. That's what it's for. But that was just brilliant. The Vikings, you know, versus the Saxons. I mean, how great is that? So that's gonna be an epic game. I was so bummed today, Jeff. I go. I don't know what to do with myself. There's no. There wasn't any matches on today. And I was like, what do I do? It's gonna get fewer and fewer. It's great watching it all day, man, having it on the back.
Speaker B: Osman sees France versus England and France winning the Cup. There you go. Yeah.
Speaker A: And again, England's been. England's playing. Playing well, man. They're playing together. Another dude that's just, you know, they're playing as a team, and we got to see more of the rowing, man. We got to see more of that stuff. So, yeah, it's great. But, uh, you know, who would have thought? Brazil out, Netherlands out, Germany out. Germany was a shocker for me. I just. It's incredible. My greatest period, if I can ever tell you. One game out of all the World Cups I've ever seen. Was it 1999, 2014? Was. It was in Brazil. And Germany beats Brazil in Brazil, 7:1. That was the most epic final, epic game I've ever seen. Germany, it was so destructive. But, you know, uh, the Brazil is not the Brazil of old years. They're not. They were all. They were disjointed. That last game that I watched of theirs. It's just sad to see Brazil. They used to be such a. They used to own. They always get to the quarters, right? They always make it down to the semis. And going out that early, it was crazy. And it was nice to see more teams in it this year. You know, usually I had 32, but had 48. I. I like that they expanded it because I've Made it. Made. Made for some really great matches. Yeah. Swiss versus Columbia was also good. Yeah. I mean, they've really been great ones. Except for the US the last US Game. Just an absolute. But I don't think Belgium's going on. I think this is the end of the road for Belgium. I don't think they're going to win.
Speaker B: So are they going to play next?
Speaker A: Um, Belgium plays. They play. Who do they play? Who does Belgium play next? I. Belgium.
Speaker B: Senegal.
Speaker A: No, no, Senegal's out. Please, who next? Is it France? Who are they? Spain. Yeah. Playing Spain next. They're not gonna be Spain. They're not gonna be Spain.
Speaker B: Oh, it's right there. Yeah. Friday, July 10th, 3:00pm There you go.
Speaker A: That's going to be another one. There's a. There's some. There's a good match on tomorrow. They're. They're all going to be epic from this point on. Hopefully fun. Hopefully a lot of goals scored. But, yeah, you got a Spain. Yeah, there it is right there, Osmond. So it's gonna be great. Um, it's finally great to turn on. Like, I have serious. And I turn on. There's like 15 sport radio shows, you know, here, and they're all talking soccer. You don't like soccer? We'll blame it on the uk. You guys coined the phrase. We started using it. Then you started calling it football. But it is kind of dumb. We call a football American football. Football. When you only kick the ball less than a half percent during a game. So it's kind of a dumb thing there. But there's your.
Speaker B: Ende Remembers Maradona. Uh, there you go.
Speaker A: Oh, yeah. The great Maradona. Yeah, well, the. And then M and Ronaldo that played for Brazil was. Was another great, too, man.
Speaker B: Oh, yeah, of course.
Speaker A: Go back far enough talking about PE in Brazil as well. You know, just right. Times have changed quite a bit. But yeah, it's, uh. It's a lot of, uh. It's. It's going to be an epic time, man. I mean, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker B: Be great.
Speaker A: Um, I don't know if the translation's here or not.
Speaker B: That's perfect.
Speaker A: Build up pressure with a massive appearance. I want to say it again. Pay a little bit more for NATO and our own defense everywhere in Europe. Um, um. Times enough is enough. The rest of NATO is unacceptable. Now this is Mertz coming out and talking about something nice about Trump. Geez, what's going on over there in Germany. But he's right. It's like sometimes you got to Say what's true, like, why, right? If. If America is the one paying and doing it all, why are the ones all, uh, you know, why are they paying for it too? Spain contributes like nothing. So guess what? Spain's out. Defend yourselves, losers. They just, I guess there was an emergency reading and it was at Brussels or maybe it was in, in France and, and Paris. And one of the things that they said, m. We see you. It's like, obviously it's like someone doesn't want to be a picture and they dip down and they're more obvious than if they just. You know what I mean? It's just, this is the way it happens sometimes. But what did you think about that, Jeff? That he was saying, hey, Trump is kind of right. Everybody else would say to pay more, but everyone's like, who cares? Now you got a guy. It's like, hey, good luck. Wait a minute. What?
Speaker B: So you totally missed.
Speaker A: Let's see.
Speaker B: Sauce missed the XRP talk. Let's talk about xrp. Xrp. There you go. Area.
Speaker A: We just talked about it. You got to get here early to talk about the XRP stuff, man. Yeah, um, John deaton, you know what's weird is I don't understand why John D. Does get more support up there. I really do not understand it, but I do follow him closely. And it's just like he, um, just don't understand why he's not getting some more support here. But a guy like platinum or someone and a republican who's running against her. But look at this right here. It's a local police union say first responders could have helped the mortally wounded victim of early Saturday's early morning shooting in Cambridge sooner, but the city had gotten rid of its gunshot detecting surveillance system. And John Deaton said, well, sometimes I think I'm living in bizarro world, but I realized that I live in Massachusetts. I'm running for u. S. Senate to try and restore balance and common sense. We've lost our way. We, uh, intentionally protect criminals and ignore the rights of victims. Spot on, Jeff.
Speaker B: Something.
Speaker H: Yeah.
Speaker B: It's just so wrong. The stuff that's going on across the board in some of those northeastern, uh, cities. They got to get their together. That's what they got to do.
Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know if that's happening. Go ahead and take this story, Jeff. This is, this is not going to come as any surprise does.
Speaker B: The European parliament will vote on chat control jump tomorrow morning. What is that? What is chat control? Chat control will make it possible to scan. Oh, man. This is why you don't go to Europe. Chat control. Make it possible to scan all private chats, emails and messages for forbidden content even before they're sent. Wait a minute. Before they're sent?
Speaker A: Yeah, it could be sitting in your inbox. You know how you like draft. Put a copy of draft in. In your. And you decide not to send it in Gmail. You save it in the draft. Oh yeah, I'll read that.
Speaker B: EU leaders say it's needed to stop child abuse material. But critics argue it's just another step towards. Yeah, that's what it's for. It's so insane. Why not just focus on the problems that are at hand, all the invaders that they've allowed in. How about get rid of them first? And then you want to, you know, penalize the rest of your citizens. You know that, hey, great, but get rid of the illegals. Get rid of all the migrants that you brought in. How about demigrate your countries? It's so crazy. After failing to pass the law multiple times previously, tomorrow's vote has been rigged through a procedural maneuver to favor approval. After MPS rejected the measure in March with 311 votes against, the latest group suddenly pushed an urgent procedure this week to force a new plenary vote on Thursday, the final session before summer recess. Of course they want to screw it in this, uh, revives of proposal as a second reading, meaning rejection now demands an absolute majority of 361 votes rather than a simple majority against. Proponents thus need only prevent strong opposition inverting the usual dynamic, timing ensures many MEPs will be absent or traveling home for the summer vacation with non votes effectively counting towards passage by making the high threshold harder to reach. Opponents denounce this as unprecedented and anti. Well, you know what this is perfect Democrat, uh, bypassing. Because that's how they work in a pure democracy. They screw you over a fear of not in their majority. The critics claim the sudden vote ignores widespread concerns over the mass surveillance without warrants, false positives, flooding police with innocent content encryption risk and treating all citizens as suspects. This is, you know, perfect for the eu. Perfect.
Speaker A: It's par for the course, Jeff. I mean this is, uh, part of the course.
Speaker B: That's Europe for you right there in a nutshell. Tone down the tune.
Speaker A: That's exactly what it is. And you got to really wonder to yourself like, what's going on, man? I don't know what's. We live in a crazy world. Yeah, it's bad. Uh, EU is really trying hard to make 1984 reality. Yeah.
Speaker B: Especially after they lied about our country, all the, that they propagated throughout Europe on how bad the US is. And it's really just a reflection, uh, of their own.
Speaker A: Yeah, you had Europeans crying, they don't want to leave. Chuckle I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave. They're having such a great time and so much fun. It didn't matter. The city, if it was a blue city red play. It was just universal. And you know who really was pissed about that? The Democrats, because they were hoping it would be a colossal failure and they would tell us, say how horrible it was here. Then they were blown away by the stadiums. I mean, with simple air conditioning, Jeff, I mean, it just seems like something so basic. You and I grew up with air conditioning. I, I've always had air conditioning. White House, like, I just don't understand, like 120, 000 people will die in Europe this summer. Mostly the elderly. You want to know why? Because they don't have air conditioning. Like, it's just, it's, it's, it's, it's hard to understand. Like, I, I don't really know where to put that. It's like, how do you not, how do you not have simple, basic things? I mean, and they won't let you have it because their climate change nuts, they're like, oh, you can't, you can't have it. It's, we gotta, we, there's no way we can do, we can do it. We have to have. I, uh, mean, it's crazy and funny enough I was, I was, Somebody, uh, was talking about. This is the funniest thing. And I saw they had an awning. They're showing an awning. Like, awnings are very important in the uk. You should put awnings on your Victorian homes. They used to be there. And you should have an awning because it cuts down. I'm like, you know what? They just came out with new technology years ago. You might not have heard of it. It's called window film. And I cut 60 to 80% of the sun's rays. It's called window film. You guys probably haven't heard that invention yet either.
