From Butler to Blockchain - XRP Declared Free, Trump Defied Death Hey everyone, welcome back to On The Chain — Jeff here with co-host Chip, and tonight we're diving into a timeline of power, survival, and truth. Two years ago today, XRP was declared NOT a security — a legal earthquake that still shakes the crypto world. One year ago today, Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, PA — four months later, he won the election. This isn't just about dates on a calendar. It's about a movement — in courts, on the streets, and on the blockchain.

XRP | Ripple's Global Power Move: $RLUSD, Kenya, & Congress in Chaos Hey everyone, welcome back to On The Chain — Jeff here with co-host Chip. Today we're diving into Ripple's growing global impact, from $RLUSD powering financial inclusion in Kenya to redefining remittances worldwide. We'll break down the Ripple Apex highlights, onchain art at Kansas University, and the wild war in Washington over crypto bills. And it wouldn't be OTC without a full dose of geopolitical chaos—from Maxine Waters' campaign fines to Powell's $2.5B Fed HQ and Rubio lighting up the Senate floor. Strap in. It's XRP, Congress, and controlled demolition of the narrative—On The Chain.

In November, Orange County Congressman Derek Tran became the first Vietnamese American to represent Little Saigon in Washington, D.C. Tran barely defeated Republican incumbent Michelle Steel, helping Democrats flip three California House seats from red to blue. We revisit a conversation from May, when Scott and Marisa talked with Tran about representing a very purple district and his father's harrowing story as a refugee after the Vietnam War.   Check out Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.     Learn more about your ad choices.

The topic of this episode is, Why are legislators on social media?”We've all seen it, and if you haven't, well, you will soon enough. Social media posts by members of Congress. They are on Facebook, X.com (what used to be called Twitter), Bluesky, and the like. The average voter may be forgiven for wondering, “Why are these lawmakers hanging out online? Don't they have anything better to do?”To try to help us better understand what is going on here, I have Annelise Russell, Associate Professor of Public Policy at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Russell has been studying legislators' use of social media for years and is the author of Tweeting is Leading: How Senators Communicate and Represent in the Age of Twitter (Oxford, 2021). So who better to discuss this topic with us?Click here to read the full transcript.

Andrew For America presents his 4th of July show and begins with a discussion about what exactly is liberty and libertarianism. Andrew goes on to discuss how politicians from both establishment parties are beholden to lobbyists, and not the American people. Andrew also talks about communism, feminism, the alleged climate crisis, and how all of these things have contributed to the downfall of western society. Andrew ends by reading a brief history lesson from Brennan Schlagbaum on how our economy has been changed by our beloved government ever since 1971 when President Nixon took our currency off of the gold standard. Andrew plays clips from Ron Paul, Ross Perot, John Stossel, Joe Rogan, Dave Smith, Candace Owens, Elon Musk, and Represent.us to help illustrate his points.The song selection is the song, "Lou Slips" by the band Late For Life.Visit allegedlyrecords.com and check out all of the amazing punk rock artists!Visit soundcloud.com/andrewforamerica1984 to check out Andrew's music!Like and Follow The Politics & Punk Rock Podcast PLAYLIST on Spotify!!!Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y4rumioeqvHfaUgRnRxsy...politicsandpunkrockpodcast.comhttps://linktr.ee/andrewforamericaFollow Future Is Now Coalition on Instagram @FutureIsOrgwww.futureis.org

XRP Explodes: $200M On-Chain | Trump Signs Big Beautiful Bill XRP Ledger is going mainstream — from a $200M tokenization deal in LATAM with Mercado Bitcoin to a new accelerator program in Singapore. Ripple is expanding fast, and RLUSD is making waves. Meanwhile, political fireworks are igniting: Trump just signed the Big Beautiful Bill, reviving the tariff playbook. SCOTUS drops another big win, and the America First economic vision is back on the front page. And yes, Ripple community drama is alive and well—Bias Goose exits, the pseudonym debate sparks, and we've got thoughts.

Actor, Host & Comedian Alfonso Ribeiro joins Dane Neal, in for Bob Sirott, to discuss hosting “A Capitol Fourth.” He shares what fans can expect and what he loves about the 4th of July.

Celsius. FTX. Linqto. Same Story Again? Millions Lost. Garlinghouse Responds? Welcome back to On The Chain — I'm Jeff here with co-host Chip, and today we're diving into one of the most explosive stories to shake the crypto space in a long time. From Celsius… to FTX… and now Linqto. Retail investors once again find themselves holding the bag — and this time, it's not just the platforms in question, but the silence from influencers that's raising eyebrows. Brad Garlinghouse has responded. John Deaton is calling it a ‘complete cluster.' And Jungle, Crypto Eri, and others are sounding the alarm. We're breaking down exactly what happened, how much was lost, who's speaking up — and who's gone quiet. Stay tuned. This is bigger than just one platform — this is about trust, responsibility, and the future of investing in crypto.

What if your title didn't determine your calling? In this episode, I'm digging into one of the biggest lies we've believed in church culture—that only pastors, leaders, or “special” people are called to represent God. But Genesis 1:26–28 tells a different story. I walk through the political context behind this passage and show how, in the ancient world, only kings were seen as the “image” of a god. But in Genesis, God flips the script and says every person is made in His image. That means you have been given divine authority and purpose—not someday, not if you get a title, but right now. If you've ever wondered whether you're really called, or felt like purpose is for someone else, this episode will remind you who you are and what you were made for. Learn more about your ad choices.

Caitlin Clark has taken on the legacy of LeBron James, the old king, and has become the new "Woman King." This is a story about our values — traditional values. There is a strong desire for the "girl next door." The same desire exists for the "boy next door," but people seem hesitant to embrace it. Whitlock will explain why hip-hop is dead and the Morgan Wallen concert walkout is being hailed as one of the highest honors in culture. Popular figures like Drake, Roger Clemens, and Brett Favre joined him in this walkout, along with Mahomes and Kelce in Kansas City. We are witnessing a cultural shift that is evident in both sports and music. A recent New York Times piece by John Kosner compares Caitlin to legends like Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods. In other news, Caitlin Clark led the WNBA All-Star voting with 1.2 million votes and sold out her Kobe shoes in seconds. Rich Paul is pushing for a potential trade for LeBron James, but the Lakers are not paying attention. Has he lost his relevance? Jay Skapinac discusses whether Kobe Bryant is overrated and the decline of LeBron James. Lastly, Steve Kim joins to talk about the Jalen Ramsey trade — was it a good idea for the Steelers to give up Minkah for Ramsey and a tight end?  ​​Today's Sponsors: Flying Ace Whether you're winding down after a long day or raising a glass with good company, Flying Ace delivers every time.

You have to be careful who you let represent your organization.    I didn't learn this lesson soon enough.     I'm not talking about someone who got fired from your team and started talking shit online about the company and you.    They'll do that, but think about things this way:    You hire a sales person who is absolutely manipulative.    Guess what?    When they train your new sales people, they'll train them to be the same.    You have to rank people based on what they are.    Are they a 5 or a 7?     Maybe they're a 10.    Who you put in leadership positions will be the representatives of your organization.    Whomever you put in that place, there's a trickle down effect.    Go for 10s.     The way you find 10s is to establish metrics and KPIs that represent excellence.    Hire those people and let them do their work.    Make sure they represent the core values and mission of your company above and beyond your expectations.    And watch your company thrive on autopilot.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Should you represent yourself in court? This topic came to mind after I watched a viral video of a defendant trying to go it alone in front of a judge down in Texas, and it got me thinking about the risks and realities of self-representation.Drawing from my own experiences—and remembering that classic line often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, “He who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer”—I'll share why even I, as a practicing attorney, would never want to represent myself, especially when the stakes are high. I'll walk you through situations where it might actually make sense to go solo, like a straightforward speeding ticket, but I'll also dig into the hidden dangers of navigating certain legal matters on your own, including issues with things like record sealing or expungement.Whether you're considering representing yourself or you just want to know more about how lawyers think through these decisions, stick around. I'll give you candid advice, real-world stories, and the practical insights you need before your day in court.Here are my top 3 takeaways:Representing Yourself is (Almost) Never a Good Idea: As the old saying goes (attributed to Abraham Lincoln!), “He who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer.” If there's any risk of jail time, don't go solo—hire a professional to ensure you keep perspective and make sound decisions.Minor Matters May (Rarely) Be an Exception: For low-stakes issues like minor traffic tickets, representing yourself might make sense—especially when the cost of a lawyer outweighs the penalty. But go in with realistic expectations and know you won't have the same leverage or results.Do-It-Yourself Can Backfire: Especially in complex matters (even non-criminal ones like sealing or expunging records), self-representation can unintentionally harm your future chances due to procedural missteps or legal technicalities.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Netball New Zealand has called for World Netball to amend its strict eligibility criteria, which prevents players representing two different countries at consecutive world cups. Sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe spoke to Lisa Owen.

In today's episode, we sat down for part 2 of our discussion with Elizabeth Mittendorf, MD, PhD, MHCM, the 2026-2027 president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). Dr Mittendorf holds numerous leadership roles, including the Robert and Karen Hale Distinguished Chair in Surgical Oncology and vice chair for research in the Department of Surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital; co-leader of the Breast Program and director of the Breast Immuno-Oncology Program at the Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center; co-leader of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School, all in Boston, Massachusetts. In this discussion, Dr Mittendorf shared how ASCO is strategically preparing to address the long-term implications of proposed federal research funding cuts. She emphasized the significant return on investment generated by sustained NIH support, underscoring its role in fostering scientific innovation and stimulating the broader economy. She also advocated for structural reforms to be developed collaboratively with researchers, institutions, and policymakers to ensure continued progress in oncology is maintained, particularly in underfunded areas, such as prevention research. Dr Mittendorf also previewed her broader vision for ASCO, including expanding global collaboration and advancing equitable access to cancer care. She noted that these efforts will be complemented by continued emphasis on multidisciplinary care delivery and mentorship, which she discussed in more detail in part one of our conversation.

Jon and Jay talk about having writer dads, the pressure of trying to succeed as a second gen show biz kid, how to direct movies with being a jerk, being right, the value of being lucky, and the why Captain Crunch is better than Peanut Butter Crunch.Bio: Jon Turteltaub has been an elite producer and director of hit movies for the past 30 years.  He is known for directing a series of hit films including 3 Ninjas, Cool Runnings, While You Were Sleeping, Phenomenon, National Treasure, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Last Vegas, The Meg and others that clearly weren't such big hits but did okay. His last film was the worldwide blockbuster The Meg, grossing over $500 million worldwide.  Jon has also produced and directed several television projects, including the smash hit "Jericho" on CBS and “From the Earth to the Moon” for HBO.  Jon was born in New York and raised in Beverly Hills before attending Wesleyan University and USC film school.  His father, Saul Turteltaub, is a legendary television writer and producer known for "The Carol Burnett Show", "That Girl", "Sanford and Son" “Love American Style” and "What's Happening!".  Jon has been married to Amy Eldon since 2006 and together they work extensively with The Creative Visions Foundation, supporting artists and activists.  Jon has also served on the DGA Western Directors Council, as advisor to Represent.Us, and on the board of the Inner-City Filmmakers program.  Jon and Amy have spent considerable time in Africa where they fund an orphanage in Kenya and work to protect and rehabilitate child soldiers in Uganda.  Jon and Amy have three young children and, therefore, no time for anything fun.

Here's what got us asking “what's the plan, Alderaan”. Maybe you've heard it before : “I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.” Okay but what was the plan here? And then what was the original plan before that plan? Join us as we ask the serious questions about just what was supposed to happen and what if 3PO didn't get in the escape pod AND what if Galen Erso lived? So call up Good Krennic, celebrate the love and listen today! JOIN THE BLAST POINTS ARMY and SUPPORT BLAST POINTS ON PATREON! COMMENTARIES FOR EVERY SKELETON CREW EPISODE!
