Coffee with MarkZ. 06/17/2025
Hello all, good morning. Hello Greg, shiny squirrel, Sassy Whip, Larry T1, Nab, hello Fun, Paul, Paul and Cindy. Hello, MJ in Chicago. Jason, oh wait, let’s see. Uh, painter in Fort Knox. Uh, he said silver making a little bit of a run. Let me go peek. Oh yeah, you’re right. 37 and a quarter even at the Miles Franklin site right now. Uh gold 339720. Maybe we’ll see a 34 silver. It is making a bit of a run. I guess people are starting to do the math. Hello Fred from my brother from another mother.
Hello Miss Leslie and Wisco Silver Stacker. Keep stacking baby. Keep stacking. real odd. Like it’s to me the news is odd right now by what is quiet and what is not. I think that tells us a a fair amount. We’ll dive all over it. Iraq continues to plug along like a juggernaut towards its reforms. Annabelle’s mom mining info just like digging for treasure. Got to sift through the dirt to find the gems. Amen. It’s a good analogy. Clara and Wayne celebrating their 48th anniversary today. I’m looking in a post
RV world to uh hear about that 50th. It’s going to be golden. And you guys are just ripping at a pace. Hello Jet 4. Hello Pat, Sage, and Young at heart. Hello Frank, it is a great day. Great day to be alive. Hello Oklahoma. Birthday today for my wife Joanne from the Quantum Bridge. Happy birthday, Miss Jones. Shalom. God wins. Let’s see. We got intel from Mike Church that the United States of America is sending super high-tech jet fighters Israel Persian region. Yeah, we’ve got another uh strike group headed that way.
Refuelers it is say interesting would be an understatement. Peachy my my the beard was too much for me. Hair needs trim, but I I settle for just the beard. Uh Thomas, I saw the email and matter of fact, I’ve got it favored to uh go through it. Tom the big 53. [Laughter] Sorry, Bernard laughing at that one. Uh, we’re going to go through it and we’re always told Israel be saved for last. And I’m beginning to believe Israel was uh kind of this is Israel Iran showdown. It’s Yeah, it’s going quick. Let’s see.
They are Let’s see. Time zone. I ran 8 and 1/2 hours ahead of Central Standard. So 7 and a half front of English. Uh they got daytime attacks today farmer which is making things very interesting. Chops got a notification from bank this morning regarding ISO 2022 changes international wire transfer formatting. The new manual appears to reference blockchain format chops. Yeah, we’re watching. We all have different terms for it. The bank doesn’t call it QFS. We call it QFS. They start making all these
changes and technology changes. But it’s a system we’ve been waiting for. Which uh whip, I saw the one from praying medic. I still have that whole thread open. As we age, our body’s natural collagen production declines, leading to visible signs like thinning hair, brittle nails, joint discomfort, and worst of all, wrinkles. That’s right. Collagen or the lack thereof is one of the leading causes of wrinkles and sagging skin. Fortunately, most collagen typically available on store shelves don’t provide
the right type or amount of collagen necessary to combat wrinkles. That’s why I use multicolagen obsessed with results that I’m seeing on my skin. Multicolagen provides the five types of premium collagen that my skin needs to look more youthful. Seeing smoother skin, more elasticity, fewer fine lines, and a more youthful glow. Plus, it easily mixes with the morning coffee or tea. And no clumping, zero flavor. Well, unless you get one of the flavored ones, and then it’s kind of like a creamer, which is

Don’t forget some of you folks on mobile devices have to hit the more button in the
description to see it. Yeah, I don’t know. Annabelle’s mom uh poses the question, “Detime attacks mean they want to be more visible for the videos.” I don’t know if it’s that or they just assume that they are prepared for missile flights in the evenings. They’re more spectacular to watch at night, I can imagine. Like fireworks are not as much fun during the day. I don’t think fun is the right word we’re looking for in war when people are suffering, buildings are being destroyed, lives devastated, etc. But I
think you understand where I’m headed on that way. Daytime I think shocks them a little when they get that because they’re only expecting it at night. I think there’s part of a psychological uh segment to that one to the reasoning. Plus, they Iran seems to be showcasing its hypersonic missile, which can pierce the Iron Dome. And I think it’s kind of a way to warn the US that, hey, they got hypersonic missile that can pierce pretty much all uh missile defense systems. They don’t seem to have many of them
or things will be very different in the region right now. John, I remove it because it annoys me and I don’t like looking at it. It distracts me. I’m easily distracted though. But I put it up at the beginning for you guys to know that it started. It is the only reason I put it up is for people in a hurry so that they can go back and find when we’re t when the news starts, then they can listen till they’re done hearing the news. That’s that’s why simply because it annoys me and distracts me. Uh, Walter, it’s not time. You always,
well, I shouldn’t say always, but you usually ask earlier. We start the news about 10 after after the Twitch crowd gets through their forced ads. I know. I agree with you. I probably should stop coddling the Twitch crowd. But I’ll go ahead and give you a spoiler. There is no Bond news this morning to speak of. not for a lack of talking to all the individuals involved. We will talk specifically about that in just a few minutes. Yeah. Uh friends making music daytime sorties reinforce fact Israel has air
support except for this is going the other direction. It was Iranian attack on Israel during daylight hours. Of course, it’s all missiles. Uh clearly, minus the missile issue. And even with the missile issue, Israel has uh the upper hand definitely on the air force portion of it. But on the missile side of it, Iran’s holding its own pretty well breeding. uh seeing what you guys are reporting and seeing in the news too. It’s a whole lot easier when we have hundreds, thousands of us searching through important and pertinent pieces
of news instead of just one of us. So guys, I love it when you come in and talk about what you have discovered in the news in chat. I think it is fantastic. Uh we are becoming a through crowdsourcing a fantastic news source as we piece through pick through try to figure out what’s right what’s wrong what’s uh rational makes common sense doesn’t I see some of these I’m going I’m going to leave them because we’re going to get to them. Uh, Robert, not much of one, that is for certain on the Air Force portion. But if
you were like trying to figure out in today’s world, how to create the strongest military for the dollars. In today’s age of nextgen fighters, etc., what do you do? You make more missiles. You make more missiles and drones because they’re more cost effective. uh you make more improvised explosive devices because it’s more cost effective. We’re seeing a totally different way to wage war kind of like an a gorilla Indian warfare uh approach from almost all the countries uh now changing the way war is well
done. It is close enough to time. Let’s dive in. Let’s get a news time banner up. Let’s start with it. Let’s uh head to Iraq. Very first thing. Bank reform towards a more efficient banking structure. This is the final phase of their white paper reforms which I think are important because we know that those reforms are done to increase the uh purchasing power of all Iraqis. They’ve talked about this at length ad nauseium. Uh so many articles we have shared on this front. so many statements from politicians. We know what their goal is
and we know the steps and we are watching the steps. This is uh one of the final banking steps that they outlined in their white reforms and that is the privatization of banks. The government is trying to put the private sector in charge. They still own a portion coming out of the war. They they had no other choice. Government had to create all the infrastructure. Now that they are in a stable, safe, peaceful, even with the craziness going on in that region, they have to privatize. This is their
final stage so that they can unlock the potential of the Iraqi people, uh the dollars, the wealth of the nation that all the individual citizens have as well. So they can unleash it, they have to privatize it. This is something we also saw in Russia um as they government devested as they went from a very communist authoritarian centralized ownership of everything to the people owning it. Privatization and this is one of the final key pieces uh that that they outlined in their reforms. So you’re watching it. You know you are
seeing progress because you can measure the progress. After completing the discussions, industrial investment law nears legislation. This is another one of those clear steps that they talked about in those reforms as they move away from a renier economy that’s dominated by the by the uh Iraqi government into private industry uh industrialization, manufacturing, domestic manufacturing, etc. We are watching it. They are nearing the end of legislation. they’ve agreed to so many of the uh steps uh the
draft laws etc. So uh very important for investors and also part of those same reforms so that they can raise the purchasing and these were all part of the final stages of those reforms and we’re watching those final stages. Washington Iraq is one of the best democracies in a region. Uh this one points more towards the work that they are doing to keep things from getting spiraling out of control. We see open dialogue between the nations. This is um the charge day affairs of the US embassy in Baghdad. Stephen Fagan on Monday met
with uh the leaders in Iraq, speaker of the house specifically, one of the best naming Iraq one of the best democracies in the region, but they are having pretty much daily meetings to stay on the same page so that there’s no misunderstanding. Iraq’s in a really weird spot and they they have to scream no matter what happens. They got to scream that ah Israel shouldn’t be using our airspace. At the same time, Iran’s using their airspace because they’re they’re right in the middle. Uh, so I mean, it’s like they’re the monkey in
the middle of the two waring gorillas right now. So, they have to scream about sovereignty as it flies over, but they they’re screaming about both sides of sovereignty. And they have to, guys. That is just lip service that they have to do. At this point, they are busy trying to stay as neutral and as peaceful as they can. The hope is that the US will not involve itself unless there is a direct strike on US interests, which if there’s a direct strike in US interest, who’s it going to be? Is it going to be Israel faking one so that
they can get the US commit? Is it going to be Iran actually uh making a massive mistake? I think it’s more likely we would see Israel try to fake an attack. They have a history of doing it. I know I’m going to get myself in trouble, but that is a really easy one for anybody to go out there and vet and look at the history. Very easy to see that that is a concern and a legitimate concern. Escalating tensions push dollar higher against the major currencies, not just the Iraqi currency. Most regions you look for
something as safe as you can get in a war scenario. uh many currencies in the region are well I should say peoples in the region are trying to stockpile some US dollars for stability uh because you don’t know what’s going to happen to smaller country with their currency and values so they’ve just started adding more not as much as you would think normally this would have put the dinar in the stinker but it hasn’t they’ve got a couple of interesting things happening though they also at the same time have oil becoming worth far
more which is taking all the budget concerns in Iraq and erasing them. I mean, just bam, huge money. They’re talking about uh $130 oil, at least5 to$10 up, but possibly 130 if this thing drags more than another week or two, especially with the Straits of Hormouth. Uh, and threats in the Straits of Hormouth. We’ve got two ships that crashed and are burning due to GPS blocking or at least that is what the stories that I am seeing most predominantly uh that uh due to terrorists blocking GPS navigation caused an issue
but it could put oil through the roof at the same time. Dollars coming less but the country is making more. So economically things are really good for Iraq right now to finish paying off stuff before the reset or before they change their currency. I don’t think they wanted it on purpose, but they’re definitely taking advantage of the opportunity. Look for them to start buying more and more dinar off the street. I wouldn’t be surprised in the coming days for them to do extra auctions just to reduce their monetary
supply while they can. It’s a golden opportunity for Iraq before a uh change in rate. Let me take that one down. On the bond side, guys, very quiet. Uh lots of folks to talk to. The folks that were expecting final contracts over the weekend did not get them. Uh they’re being told that they are waiting for the outcome of the Iran uh conflict or at least a temporary hold on that front. But at the same time, I’m seeing banks to more prep, I’m seeing more training going on. And we’re also seeing a lot of
those same bond holders uh being brought to the table for other historic things. We’ve talked about this some over the past week, some of the historic art that goes with some of the historic bonds. So, while we’re not seeing the individual bond holders, we’re starting to see a lot of activity at the sovereign level where people are trying to buy things. Uh so, for me, positioning, they would not be doing that if it were not close. Uh again, we’ve got a couple more uh credit union, regional banks that have started
training on foreign currency. While I’m at it, let’s talk about definitions. I know I do this one a lot, but you would be stunned. Actually, most of you guys would not be surprised at all the number of people that email me with the same repeated questions, and we talk about it so often on air that I can only hope that soon we don’t have to keep talking about it. more people talking about how redemption centers and 800 numbers are scams. Guys, what’s a scam is the people fighting over the definitions. What we call a
redemption center is a bank, a redeeming bank that has a staff trained. We’re not saying you’re going to some popup location down some shady dark corner. We simply have a different thing we call it. Dear Jesus, get it through your thick skulls out there in dinar land. When we talk about it, have you ever called a bank on its 800 number? When you got a customer service problem, you got an extra charge, do you call a 1-800 number? So, if the banks come out with 1-800 numbers when it’s time to exchange
because they want you to call them, is that a 1-800 number? Of course, it’s 1-800 number. is a redemption center, a bank location where they are going to uh redeem or they are trained to handle your currency. Of course, it is. But some people out there, the term is enough to make their heads pop and they need to have a fight over it. I don’t freaking get it. I don’t understand. I also don’t understand why we need to fight over like, oh my god, you’re going to stall an RV because you’re talking about how some of the banks have started
training their foreign currency departments on our specific currencies. If that’s going to derail, that’s going to keep the whole world from having a monetary reset. [ __ ] It’s a clear sign that we are heading towards a monetary reset. But if you think that uh us having a conversation with a uh teller at a uh credit union that just got trained in uh exchanging Vietnamese dong or learning about security features on Iraqi or if you think that’s somehow going to derail a monetary reset for the entire world
because the entire international banking system is collapsing from fraud, you’re an idiot. I guess I’m just really tired of some of the just idiotic statements I’m seeing on the boards. Do you people not I mean common sense just think for love of God think. Blown away by the number of Telegram warriors out there that don’t take the time to think. All right, there’s my rant for the day. Painful. apply logic and common sense to it hiker. I appreciate that. Thank you. So, what you call it, what I call it,
what I call a redemption center is a bank location that has a staff that is trained that can verify your currency right there and they don’t have to send it away. That’s what I consider a redemption center. Maybe I should call it redeeming bank. Maybe that would be more tender for your ears. But that’s my reference. Wait, how did you get in? You know, actually though, um, Jason the Jeeper, I looked the other day and you weren’t in the jail, which means it’s a YouTube thing, but I’ll look again today.
I think they’re taking a lot of you folks and shadow hiding you. Slight level. Thank you. I appreciate that one. All right, let’s get to it. Uh, do I think that Iran will continue to have nuclear capabilities after this conflict is over? Offensive nuclear capabilities? No, I don’t think they’re going to have them. Do I think from a civil perspective, I think it’s irrational to say that they can’t have nuclear power. um just from a technology, environmental, logistics, etc. um because of the stability. I think that would be
foolish. I could see them putting in some type of mechanism for the next 20 years, 40 years uh for them to start being able to enrich their own. I think the smartest thing would be to cut a deal where they put a time period on that one because you need a safe, stable regime. Their current regime, they shouldn’t have nuclear weapons. I I agree. There are a number of countries out there that have them that I don’t think should have them. I don’t think we can, you know, I under the last administration, I question whether the
US should have nuclear arms, but I do think they’ll have some type of nuclear capability, meaning a nuclear power plant or the right to have one. Um, I would not be surprised if they have to buy all of their enriched uranium ready to go as fuel pellets. I think that would be the compromise. You can thank Jimmy Carter for the entire mess right now. If it hadn’t been for that, we had a secular government uh and we decided to play regime change whenever we didn’t like something and it has bitten us in the
butt. The US really needs to take a long hard look at its foreign policy for the last 50 years, hundred years and say, you know, what works, what doesn’t. I don’t know why I kept running that far, but all right, let’s get into everything uh on that front because there is more to cover. Everyone should immediately evacuate Thyron, Trump warns. Trump is sending so many very confusing signals right now. I understand why he does it to give himself more negotiating room, but I think it is time for him to start
playing a slightly different approach uh for the sanity of the world. or maybe just for my sanity. Yesterday, Trump posted, “Iran should have signed the deal. I’d call I told them to sign. What a shame and what a waste human life.” Simply stated, “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” I said it over and over again. Everyone should immediately evacuate Thyron. At the same time, he’s saying, “We’re not getting involved.” That being said, we are watching a move of military hardware. Uh well, we’ve got uh carrier groups moving
from China. We have one already in the region. We have already sent uh refueling tankers. You name it. So, we are clearly prepped to be involved. The question is, are we just preparing ourselves in case something happens so we can respond quickly? In other words, if Iran attacks a US military base, even in the United States, I feel very confident if they believed in any kind of credible way, and unfortunately, it probably doesn’t even have to be a credible. It could probably be a staged attack and we would still pull the
trigger and Iran would very quickly, well, not be very happy. So, we are at a very uncertain time and that’s why I think I would prefer if Trump were taking a different approach. And then we go right here to a White House seeks a meeting with Iran’s foreign minister as Iran eras well eases its punishing strikes. Iran has eased up. They did launch about 20 missiles during a daylight strike. Uh one of several footages triangulation of which have been allowed to suggest that IDF the Israeli Defense Force’s intel
gathering unit was hit uh outside Tel Aviv. Overall, you would definitely have to say Israel has the massive upper hand here, but Iran is not down and out. They do continue to fight. They are scary in my book because you never know which direction they’re going to run. Even in some countries that are evil, they’re at least consistent. You know what they’re going to do. Iran, you do not know what it’s going to do. And you don’t know whether you can trust what it’s going to say because in their opinion, well, at
least the current government, the current uh theocracy that is in charge, they have a belief structure that tells us it is okay to lie if you’re lying to the infidel. In other words, it’s okay to tell us you’re going to do one thing and to do something totally different behind the back because we’re the infidel. And as far as they’re concerned, they’re at war with us. So morally, they don’t even consider it a lie. They consider it their duty to BS us. I know I’m gonna really upset somebody. I got so many Islamic friends
and it is interesting to hear how part of them are like, “No, you’re dead, right?” And some of them are like, “No, no, that’s not true.” Okay, it’s kind of true. Makes for interesting uh mentality. Of course, I can say that about a number of different religions, too. Just different idiosyncrasies. Uh, all right. So, the White House is meeting and saying, “Let’s calm down. Let’s have a meeting. We are not going to war unless uh unless you strike some of our assets.” At the same time, we turn around and Trump is going, “You
know what? We warned you. Uh, too bad. Don’t mess around. Maybe we’ll join in. Oh, wait a minute. No, we’re not going to join in.” Which is it? This is the confusing signals that Trump is sending right now. Somebody needs to Somebody needs to take away his uh truth and Twitter account for a day. Boy, am I getting in trouble this morning. Marjorie Taylor Green blast. Disgusting MAGA Hawks breaks ranks over Iran war. I’ve got to agree with uh Miss Taylor right now. She makes some extremely good points. Some extremely good points. Uh
here she had a tweet. There’s a longer one where she was uh uh talking uh and and I’ll probably read the whole thing to you, but we’ll start on the short side. No, let’s start on the long side. Everyone is finding out who are real America first MAGA and who were fake and just said it because it was popular. Unfortunately, the list of fakes are becoming quite long and exposing expose themselves quickly. Anyone slobbering for the US to become fully involved in the Israel Iran wars, not America first
or MAGA. Wishing for murder of innocent people is disgusting. We are sick and tired of foreign wars. All of them. And this one will quickly engulf the Middle East bricks and NATO as countries are required to take a side. Real America first. MAGA wants world peace for all people and doesn’t want our military killed and forever injured physically and mentally. We love our US military and love them helping to secure our borders and our cities for the defense of our people and our country. They are
our friends, spouses, cousins, nieces, nephews, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters. We have spent strillions in the Middle East, and we have dealt with the aftermath of death, blown apart bodies, never- ending suicides, and disabling PTSD. Preach it, girl. All because they told us propaganda as to why we must sacrifice our own to defend some other country’s borders and some other country’s uh let’s see some other country’s borders and some other country’s borders. I don’t want to see Israel bombed or Iran bombed or Gaza
bombed. I don’t want to see Ukraine bombed or Russia bombed. And we do not want to be involved or required to pay for any of it. We are 36 plus trillion dollars in debt. Have mountains of our own problems. We have giant planks sticking out of our own eyes while we complain about splinters in other eyes. Every country involved and all over the world can be happy, successful, and rich. We all work together and seek peace and prosperity. Amen. Taking this position is not anti-semitic. It’s rational and sane. Well, just okay. I
added a nane. It’s rational, sane, and loving toward all people. Taking this position of peace and prosperity for all is not isolationism. It leads to great trade deals, great economies that help all people. It’s what Americans voted for in 2024. America first. America first. America first. That’s how we make America great again. I think she nails it. Uh, wait. See, spot on. Spot on. There are times where I disagree where they’re It’s pretty rare. I I know they paint her as the crazy one in Congress, but is that not rational
thinking? I mean, that’s rational thinking to me. That’s common sense thinking to me. That is something I understand. Do I understand that the world’s more complex? It’s not always black and white. I get that the world is different shades of gray, but some things are black and some things are white or good and evil. I don’t mean it in any kind of racist term before some liberal gets in here and tries to blast and twist what I said. No thanks. Why can’t we get along? We live in a world of abundance.
We have natur How many more stories do we need about trillions of dollars of natural resources being discovered in this nation or that nation? Uh all over the world from copper mines to silver mines to hydrogen to petroleum to phosphates for fertilizers. You know how much of the earth has people on it? We are not overpop populated. We have overpop populated areas, but the world is not over. We live in a world of abundance. Why do we need to fight? Why do we just not roll up our sleeves, put on work boots, put on our work
gloves, and make a better life for ourselves and our families? Um, I don’t understand having to fight over the scraps when you live in a world of abundance. I just don’t get it. I don’t understand. It’s a mentality I hope I never understand. Uh, I can understand how they think, but I can’t understand why they come to the conclusions that they come to. When I see somebody starving, I can only assume that they want to be starving because we live in a world of abundance and unfortunately many are and it’s
horrendous that they are and it shows how broken a system is. But I love it. We don’t need to fight. We just don’t need to. Unfortunately, in this case, as I look at it, and Miss Taylor brings up some good points, and I’m going to expound on those a little, Trump may not have a say in this, guys, there is overwhelming support for Israel in Congress and the Senate. And for those that don’t understand how the Constitution works, most modern-day presidents have pissed all over it with their commander and
chief uh the latitude in which they have used those powers, uh shadow wars, wars going on, and it’s supposed to be Congress declaring them. And pretty much this started from Korea, Vietnam on. Congress doesn’t get a vote. Congress is supposed to be the one that puts us in war. But in this particular instance, I think Congress would vote to go to war with Israel against Iran. And that’s a little spooky. My contacts there keep telling me I’m thinking too much and this is going to be over within a week and then we are
going to reset and have an RV and Iran is going to be included in that. And I hope they are all right. And I am just worried for no reason at all. I know it’s going to be okay. I know we’re going to uh get things done soon. I see Iraq. I see the progress. I see banks draining. Um yeah, I can see the progress. I know we’re headed in the right direction. But this one definitely has me just watching it going, “Okay, I don’t want anything to derail or delay. GI Jane, we all need to clean house once
and for all. Only a few in there worth keeping. I do think it exposes them, GI Jane. So, I need I need to make myself back up and go, you know, they’re exposing themselves and cleaning their own house. They’re selfporting from DC. That’s my new one. self-epporting from DC is these politicians out exactly how they feel uh and their belief structure based on what they do on their actions. Beverly, I probably need that for the swear jar. I could use a really good uh rant. Uh Mark Jameson, probably Tyron going to
get bunker busted. That’s really the last one. Uh, the last big piece, the US has the bunker buster. Israel wants the bunker buster. So, do we sell them the bunker buster? Sell them, loan them a bunker buster, or do we bunker bust it ourself? Um, I do think that would be the one that puts it over the top and finishes it. Do I think the current Iranian government is dangerous? Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Do I believe the Iranian people are dangerous? Overwhelmingly not. They just want to
live like most Americans just want to live. Does every American want to go to war? No. Overwhelming majority of America wants peace. We want you guys to have, you know, soccer games and I don’t know, whatever you want. Uh just like we want to have, you know, our hot dogs and our apple pie and our sporting events and a big July 4th picnic. We want you guys to have all those things, too. We want you to have the big Thanksgiving dinner or whatever it is you uh celebrate. We want you to have all those things, those reasons to go
home and see grandma. We want everybody to have those wonderful things. But the government, the current government in Iraq, yeah, I mean, excuse me, in Iran is terrifying. Uh, Rome Doctor thinks rods of God. Rum doctor, I do think a lot would change. The first time we had a very confirmed rods of gods attack, I do think the political powers around the world will completely shift overnight. Karen nailed one other thing that worries me when I see this because I know how desperately we need the RV. And
I very much believe it is coming sooner, but it doesn’t change that you got that little uh little devil on your shoulder messing with you going, “Oh my god, Ukraine was only supposed to last weeks, couple of months, and here we are two and a half years later.” Karen, that is something else that uh that that does nag at the back of my mind. This uh Israel Iran thing we are hearing should only take weeks and we’ve already been at it a week. So, you know, we’re in the last week or two. Or what happens if
they are completely wrong on that one and it lasts longer? Does that mean we’re delayed or not? Based on the evidence we’re seeing out of out of Iraq, no, it doesn’t look like we’d be laid at least on some currencies. Uh, sometimes, yes, it’s necessary, but mothers and fathers don’t want to send their sons off to war. or Amen. The Uncle Bear. Yeah, sometimes it is absolutely necessary. Sometimes there is so much evil loose in the world, you have no choice but to defend, but it should be your last course,
DJ. And it should. Banana pudding is better than apple pie. There, I said it. Apple pie is great. Apple pie is amazing. Apple pie is really good stuff and it’s very comforting, especially with some real vanilla bean ice cream. Not the beaverb butt kind, the good stuff. Not with the fake cream, the real cream. Not with the fake sugar, the real stuff and the real vanilla. Beans, not butts. Uh, it’s fantastic with apple pie. But there is something special about banana pudding. Something really special about banana
pudding. Anybody that disagrees with me, come on. We’ll go a couple rounds on this one. Abundant Avery, the Arab countries will let Iran fall, but I suspect Israel hits its other neighbors like Syria and other Hezbollah connections. I don’t know. Abundant Terry, that part would concern me. Israel to me really is in its current with its current government is a little bit of a scary or unknown. I shouldn’t say that. Probably just a little bit of a bit of an unknown. Uh, I very much agree that the Arab countries,
they can’t really come out and just say it. But secretly, I think they are all hoping for regime change. I shouldn’t say all. I’d say 90% of Arab countries are praying that they get regime change. One good thing, the US has shown in those instances that they don’t want to go in and take over. And I wonder if that’s a mistake or or not. Now, there we go. Dutch apple pie is the best.
