Coffee with MarkZ. 04/07/2025
Good morning all. Hopefully everybody can hear me this morning and make certain I got the mic in the right place. Computer’s set up.
Back at the original studio for the original Mark Z. Hello, Weezer, Hicktown. Let’s see, what do we have over here? We got Texas, Girly Girl, Degu, Georgia, Whipper, Will, Eagle. I will not be able to see anybody on kick this morning.
Let me be very clear. Going to have a difficult time all week catching you guys. Going to try to figure that one out.
Booger. I will slow down some this week, but I won’t take them all off. I’ll just probably shorten a few.
Booger’s saying, hey, look, take it off, take it off, slow down. Don’t worry, I will slow down a little bit this week so I can get things done here. Anna Liberated, there’s going to be plenty of the Bond News and stuff to go over.
Will not be a shortage of fun stuff this morning. Let me make certain I get everything set up ready. A little bit of a curve this morning, getting used to the other system again.
Let’s see. Mark Z, I’ve tried to play devil’s advocate, but I still come to a positive outcome. Trump seems to be leading us to where we’re waiting on.
RV, Nisera, BuzzRocket, it is. We can throw all the doubtful whatever thoughts, and that’s a good point you’re making, because we got some things to say on that this morning. Wait a minute.
Let’s see if I can catch this one. Something about prayers and eight, nine. Let’s see.
Fun run, fun run. Me prayer’s friend of mine, his nine-year-old boy is missing from last night. Guys, we prayed in, and I don’t know if it was us, but prayer certainly helped for a young lady.
I think she was, what, 12 or 14 two weeks ago. So let’s put a prayer for this nine-year-old. Sinpony, hey, right.
Enjoy your time home, please. People, please stay calm and trust in God. What he’s told, trust.
Oh, it’s going to get good, guys. Hey, Harry, we seem to move in that direction. Hello, Larry Greer.
We got a lot to talk about. Miss Divine, how’s Miss Divine? I am in the U.S. right now. My niece is getting married on Saturday.
Niece is getting married Saturday. Friday with Mr. C, guys, may be an hour earlier than normal, because I’ll have to pick Zester up from airport as well to get him. So working through timing and all that.
Fiery Leo, I miss some of the folks stateside, but I do love my Puerto Rico. Had to get a haircut for the wedding. Had to look presentable.
Steven, uncirculated is perfectly fine. Huge market day today. Where are we at already? Last time I checked, I think we were down 14.
Let’s get an update here, folks. And that’s part of what we’re watching this week. We’re watching everything.
Oh, wait, there we go. 1,000, it’s already starting to adjust up some. Metals are already starting to bounce up as the world is bracing for the changes.
And I love it, watching all the Keynesian economics economists freak out because they don’t understand economics. Find me a Keynesian economist that actually works in the real world that’s not in academia or government. I have not been able to find one my entire life, unless they work for a think tank for the Democrats.
Or for the government or in academia. I cannot find a single in the real world Keynesian macro economist or economist. Can’t find one, period.
Because the real world will quickly beat those idiotic thoughts right out of your head. Diane, I’ll do the best I can. All your reminding won’t help much, but I’ll try.
Let’s see. Good, the freaks can’t handle the overinflated market. Man, you guys are nailing it.
You understand the basic economics. They told us it was all going to implode back in, what, 2016 when we were going to have runaway inflation when Trump did tariffs the first time. Guess what happened? Nothing.
Economy got better. Let’s see. Mountain guru.
Wait, mountain. See if I can get that one. We can see the potential in Iraq, and we must dispel these negative attitudes that the RV will never happen or it will take years.
The Iraqi dinar is not a get-rich-quick scheme, although if you decide to stick out the ride, you may be rich beyond your wildest dreams. I can live with that one. Yeah, we have to stop thinking get-rich-quick.
Let’s see. Somebody said audio. Nope, we got the right microphone up.
Should be working, or as good as it’s going to get. Wait. You’re right.
The Dow seems to be moving back up. It was expected to go down overnight like 2,200 points, and then they kept changing it. Get bent.
Stock markets are taking a worldwide today. Does this lead to RV? Yes, this is part of the correction. Leading into it is my opinion.
Oh, I know what I need to do. Brooke Burke, a fixture in the entertainment wellness industry for decades, known for her roles in Dancing with the Stars and Wild On, is not one to shy away from the spotlight. But shortly after she turned 50, despite her expertise, the fitness icon suddenly found herself battling a body that seemed to be working against her.
Now, Brooke is opening up publicly about her experience because it’s what millions of women face, unexplained weight gain, muscle loss, declining energy. She’s revealing how she discovered one thing that made her leaner, stronger, and healthier than ever. Today, at 53, she says she feels amazing, and her abs are tighter today than they were 10 years ago.
What’s changed for her is she has begun biohacking and discovered that she needed more protein, but not just any protein. One specific protein, which was a total game changer, and when she found it, she says it was like uncovering a secret weapon for weight management and muscle gain. Everything changed.
The leaner and stronger that I’ve been, she said, I’m leaner and stronger than I’ve ever been in my whole life. She’s sharing this with the world, to both women and men, so they can learn about this revolutionary protein. Video she released went viral, and since you’re a part of our community, sharing it today, in case you haven’t seen it.
You can find that video by going to Tonyprotein.com forward slash mark Z. Tonyprotein.com forward slash mark Z, or you can click the link in the description. You may have to hit the more button. Brooke also says the biggest and best surprise is that my solution is so simple, there’s no need for excessive diets and workouts.
It takes less than a minute a day, and it’s become a favorite part of her morning routine. That’s why she’s so excited to share. It’s really pretty cool when you do the science.
Tonyprotein.com forward slash mark Z. Your abs are tight, too. We can hardly see from all the insulation. Cycle path row saying the government can’t be fixed by just putting band-aids on it.
It has to be taken to the root to rebuild. Yes, we do. Now, let’s start getting into it, guys.
I think we’re close enough. Let’s see. It’s been an interesting four years under the Democrats, and it does seem to be straightening itself out.
Sendpony, I do not think all countries are going at one time. I do not, do not, do not. Do I think the major ones that we’re watching probably are? Yes, and I’m certain.
Certain set up beforehand on his front. All right, let’s get to it. It’s close enough in timing.
Let’s hit the banner. GetWestern, no news update. Did have some wealth folks working part of a day yesterday in preparation.
They believe they will have a busy week later in the week, and we’ll get into that one. Bonside is where we are getting the most action. Let’s put up the news time banner.
Let’s start here, though, in Iraq. The launch of the reform plan for banks is the beginning of economic reform. Okay, here’s a little short one, and then it gets even deeper.
This is covering up the news stream. Right now, over the weekend in Iraq, the Central Bank of Iraq unveils a plan to reform the private banking sector. These are the final reforms in their White Papers.
What are the White Papers for? They lift the purchasing power of all Iraqis and modernize their system for safe and stable. You’re watching. They get into the pillars, ownership, government structures, maintain capital adequacy, financial transparency, get the money into the bank so they can unleash the power because 90-some percent or so of the cash resources of the country don’t reside in the banking system.
They want it in the banking system. Also, of course, working on greater adoption. Now, this one I found very interesting.
The Central Bank of Iraq sets new controls for the use of bank cards outside of the country. These are some pretty big limits for a country that doesn’t have or supposedly doesn’t have that many wealthy people percentage-wise. In other words, they must be planning on something big.
So, retirees are only allowed to spend on their debit cards from Iraqi banks. They’re limiting them to $10,000 a month in foreign currencies. Travel, $20,000 per month for travel purposes.
Can you imagine spending $20,000 a month traveling? That’s big money. Treatment abroad. You can go get a treatment.
Spend $50,000 out of your bank account in Iraq. These are per month general uses outside, $5,000 a month, going down to pick up a soda. The document pointed to setting the maximum limit for the use of merchant’s bank cards outside of Iraq at $20,000 per month, guys.
For them to have that kind of money, they need an RV. And those limits, they screen higher value. Of course, cryptocurrencies will contribute to reshaping the traditional banking system.
They’re talking about it again, guys. This is them beating all around. They’re talking about the IDNR program that they unleashed a few years ago where they would go to an asset-backed currency.
A combination of assets and currencies held in a basket for other regional currencies. Actually, far more stable than what Kuwait did right before they revalued, when they revalued theirs. So Iraq’s telling you what they’re doing.
The IDNR would be blockchain ledger tracking those assets. And then when you held a cash bill, it would represent that digital token. Really cool system, IDNR, that they are designing solely to increase that purchasing power of all Iraqis.
I love it, guys. They’re telling you what they’re doing. Anybody paying attention in Iraq? All right, on to the bond side.
Let’s break out the notes. It’s going to get very difficult. They are cracking down.
Like I’ve said in the past, they’ve been cracking down. They’re going over the top. Bond contracts, many of them do expect to complete this week.
I think I’ve got my first contact that has one that should complete tomorrow. Those are dollars. Should complete.
Very excited. All my bond contacts are very excited about the week. May have to sneeze, guys.
So if my microphone goes out, it’s me saving your ears. I am told with those contracts expected the weeks that they will not take any new bond contracts. In other words, if you haven’t submitted your bond, they may not process until sometime this summer.
Of course, don’t panic, guys. It’s April, so you’re talking possibly a couple months before they finish all the other historic bonds. And I have been told from every bond source right now that they are going after flippers, meaning they are shutting down the flipping on bonds.
They’re only doing them the proper way through the sovereigns. So if you’re trying to flip a bond, probably time to back off because I am told they are shutting down the flipping operations that many were trying to do right before it goes. We also have a curious closed door Fed meeting supposed to go on today.
I don’t have the time. All I know is from my D.C. car. So how long was sound on? Oh, allergies in the Carolinas are just rough.
All right. Where did you lose me, guys? Because I noticed the no sound. What was the last thing I said? Don’t tell me I don’t have sound.
Ten seconds doesn’t help. Tell me the last thing I said. When I started about the D.C. contacts.
OK, fantastic. That’s what I was looking for. Thank you.
D.C. contacts are telling me that they are expecting a closed door Fed meeting. They’ve called an emergency one. I don’t know if the plan is for what time today.
Is that behind the doors? Closed door Fed meetings. They are calling him in quickly. All right.
That’s what I want to say on that front. See, Jack Wagon. What’s your gut? Oh, God.
Every time I give my gut Jack Wagon, I get in trouble. Hmm. I do have one douche nugget that sends me clips of when you guys ask me what my gut feeling is.
But when I say it, he clips out the part in front where I’m like, this is my gut. This is my guess. It’s just based on what I’m seeing around me.
But he only he clips out all part. That’s just a douche nugget. I’m telling you, I don’t know the timing.
I can tell you it feels really good. And if if bonds move the way they’re supposed to this week, then my gut would be towards the end of the week. Most likely.
I’m with you. Glee balls. Stop with a nut with the gut gut.
Jay, I think there’s a good chance we might make it before Easter. Screaming Taco Bell. I hear you.
No. For the wedding. It’d be a good one.
They have currency. It’d be a great wedding present for them. Mark Jameson’s gut says April 8th.
Mark, that is what I’ve been told for so long is what the bond people were expecting. I’ve been how long I’ve been saying that my bond. People were expecting that date for probably five or six weeks.
Wow. Somebody just said the Dow’s now up. Wow.
Look at that, guys. Every Keynesian macroeconomic theorist on the planet is eating crow as we speak right now, as we speak right now, as the market is adjusting. Check that out.
I wonder what metals are doing all of a sudden. Gold moving up. Silver moving up.
Silver’s already gained a dollar. Sixty six could be Fed rumors. You could be right.
Who put that one in? Somebody put in could be Fed rumors, and that is very intuitive of you. I love it. Like Sin Pony said, stay calm, people.
Stay calm. Wow. All right.
Pins and needles. It is going to be a pins and needles as we adjust this week. We do have some other things to talk about.
Let’s get to them. White House official says more than 50 countries reached out for tariff talks. It was a busy weekend.
They’re doing that because they understand that they bear a lot of the tariff, Kevin Hassett said. Top White House economic advisor said on April 6th that more than 50 countries have contacted more over the weekend, guys. Contacted the Trump administration to initiate negotiations over a broad swath of tariffs that were announced in the first week of April in nearly every nation in the world.
An interview with ABC News this week. Kevin Hassett, head of the White House National Economic Council, said that there are more than 50 countries reaching out trying to negotiate with a new status with the president. We had to have a beginning point to have the conversations, to have the negotiations.
Trump created that last Tuesday on Liberation Day, and it is working. It is working. The rest of the world probably will go into a recession as they adjust.
I don’t think we will, guys. Some hiccups. We have been in a recession.
They changed the definition. They changed the definition going on, what, three times to try to say that we’re in a recession. Now they’re trying to change it back to say that Trump’s in a recession, even though they changed it.
Okay, you get where I’m going. Change the definition so that you can claim to be right even when you’re not right. It’s not working.
I love this. We got some articles on that one because we have disconnected. Trump disconnected.
MBSent and his team disconnected Main Street from Wall Street. How are you going to be doing? That’s going to be the question. Not how’s your big globalist, how not George Soros is doing, how not BlackRock is doing, but how is Joyful Voice? How is Grumpy? How is Cindy? How is Richard Fall doing? How is Jim McCoy doing? There’s so many other important ones here.
How are you guys doing? How are you guys? And that’s where our disconnect is right now. So we’ve got countries all around the world reaching out to negotiate and work on those tariffs to get free trade. Something we have not had since World War II.
Fantastic piece by Daniel Lacali. When Keynesians predict a disaster, start buying. How long have I been telling you this? They are clueless.
We’ve been talking about it for weeks, actually years. In this article he says, always get excited about a market correction when I read the Keynesian consensus predict a disaster. The same people who claim the massive money printing and soaring government spending wouldn’t cause inflation and are the ones who know exactly how tariffs will impact aggregate prices.
Fascinating. Because they do. They claim to know everything and never get it right.
So I have loved this one. In June 2016, 16 Nobel Prize winners expected higher inflation from tariffs and it never happened. Furthermore, many of the economists recommended enormous government spending and Federal Reserve quantitative easing in 2020.
Stating that there was no concerns about inflation. Remember, pal? You remember Janet telling us, no worries. This is not going to cause any problems.
Trillions, trillions increases spending. It’s not going to cause any problems. What did we get? Worst inflation in many decades.
Historic inflation levels obliterating the savings of the middle class and working class in the country. Keynesian economics doesn’t work. I had a great conversation when I was a 19 year old kid, I think, with Pat Robertson about Keynesian economic theory.
He understood it. He definitely understood it. All right, a couple more pieces on the economic front.
It would be easy to keep pumping the economy, barring a lot of money, creating a lot of government jobs. I love this one. This was Treasury Secretary Besant talking to Tucker Carlson.
It would have been easy to keep pumping up the economy, barring a lot of money, creating a lot of government jobs, explained Treasury Secretary Besant to Tucker Carlson, defending the administration’s policy while describing the extent to which Biden juiced up the economy like a bodybuilder on steroids. Appearing strong while destroying his internal organs. Love this one.
There was no controversy when we were doing all that. But you would have ended up in a calamity, he said. If you go back and look at the financial crisis in 2007 through 8, the economy looked great right up until then.
You can go back to the end of the dot-com bubble. The whole credit problem, fraud in Enron, some of the other companies, the economy looked great until it didn’t. It’s fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals.
I love it. Scott Besant saying, yo, we had to take our medicine. Good, bad, ugly.
We had to take our medicine, and we have taken our medicine. Taking it right now, and it’s already starting to work. Already starting to work.
Let’s see. Do you think it’s trying to pay attention to some of these? Apple, I have no idea what to tell you for the boulevard. I don’t know what to tell you on Venezuela.
Wish I did. I’m having so much fun reading these. Jason, why are so many so-called gurus pushing so hard to go through a certain process with them in order to get earlier? I wish I knew what to tell you.
My banking contacts have told me to run, run, run when they tell you they’re the only game in town. It’s because they want to make a cut, is my opinion. All right.
Love this one. Just says, hey, we could have kept doing the same thing that the other administration. We could have played really nice.
We could have kept printing money. Presidency for Trump would have looked fantastic. The world would have crashed after.
I love them giving us the painful truth. This is like watching a more charismatic version of Ross Perot in charge. UK Prime Minister starmer to make stunning admission.
Globalization is over. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will soon declare something. Zero hedgerow readers have known for quite some time.
The economic system championed by the international elite is dead and gone. Starmer’s office told the Sunday Times. This would mean, yes, the world has changed.
Globalization is over and we are now in a new era. We’ve got to demonstrate that our approach, a more active labor government, a more reformist government can provide the answers for people in every part of this country. His office added, emphasizing a pivot towards proactive governance.
Why has it not always been proactive? Why is he suddenly going, you know, Donald Trump’s right. Globalization is over. We need to take care of our own.
We need to take care of our working class. We’ve got to take care of the folks that work. The working class, the middle class.
We’ve got to stop worrying about the… Anyway, did they just replace him? Is there a clone up there or something? Did they knock him in the head? Was he walking on his way to Damascus and had an epiphany? Starmer, globalization is over. We need to work with labor. We need to be progressive.
Are we going to stop censoring? Are we going to stop shutting people down? Are you going to be up front with the money you spend, where it goes? Are we going to talk about immigration? I mean, what’s going on here in the UK? Starmer saying it’s time to get progressive. It’s time to work with the people. Do you think he just senses the swinging tides? Is the Trump effect moving into Europe? Is he saying just enough to hang on to and protect his own hide? Or maybe just hopefully stay in office? I mean, this guy has done everything to advance globalism and not individual rights.
He has shat upon the rights of British citizens. I mean, I’m just blown away here. I should say UK.
UK citizens instead of British citizens. I’m just watching this. An eye on the prize.
I like it. Let’s see. In your opinion, what’s the difference between the bond reports and them expecting payment last week versus this? Joe, my biggest bondholders last week were not expecting payments until this week.
So, I guess that’s going to be my take on it. My biggest and best contacts never expected it until this week. So, that’s my biggest difference.
Oh, here’s a great one, Kerry. It’ll tell you what’s coming. Online, I made a hotel reservation.
I noticed I could choose my payment currency. Venezuela and VND are a couple of options. Hilton is ready for an RV.
Hey, there’s McDonald’s now that have already started offering payments in foreign currencies. You know what’s coming. Jacinta, I’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t want Starmer, right? I believe that one.
Christina, do I think it’s a good time or a bad time to invest in the market? I think it’s an uncertain time to invest in the market. You have to be very picky about what you invest in because it is going to swing as it finds its footing. My guess, though, is on a short term.
Let’s see. Now, we were up seven. Now, we’re down 435.
It is going to swing like this and skew sideways for a while. I would just be very picky about what you get. Focus on fundamentals, but it could be a great time.
Janine, who’s considered flippers? Flippers are the people trying to buy your box of bonds for 20% of their real value so they can turn around and sell them to sovereigns. Entire groups. If you don’t have boxes of currency or bonds, probably not something you need to worry about.
Pamela, what? UK has stopped people talking about Christianity in the streets and online and in their own chat forms. Peggy, I don’t know. Charlie and I, I don’t think I met Charlie until about four years ago, three or four years ago.
Wait a minute. Somebody said oil down to $60 a barrel. Let’s check that one out.
Let’s see. Zimbabwe. It doesn’t say agro check, I don’t think, on the big, the 100 Ts.
I’m not certain which one you’re talking about. I’d have to look at the dates on my agros, Kathy. I don’t have any with me here.
They’re back there, so I don’t know what to tell you on that date. Invest in metals. Yeah, it’s tough to miss on that one.
That’s historically about as safe as you can get. Where was I at? Yeah, market bouncing all over as it tries to figure out which way to run. Metals still.
Curiosity is just getting me. I’ll be watching the market all day in between working. Oil.
That’s what I want to find. How fast could a war start, Iran start, and then be averted? I wouldn’t be surprised to see it this week. While the world is scrambling.
Thank you on the oil price one. You’re right. We have seen a serious drop in oil prices.
Not too bad. OPEC basket still in the 70s. We are seeing Brent crude down to 66.60. Natural gas at 383.2 in MCF.
Seen some coming down in gasoline. Not a huge amount. All right.
Average crudes. It’s down some. $3 or $4 a barrel.
Be good for us. It’s a pump. Don’t remember a truther named Phoenix.
Zenith fan. That’s a good reminder. Trump.
The Dow was at 17,000 in his first term. Guys, the market loves Democrats. It didn’t used to love Democrats.
Back when it ran on fundamentals. But once it stopped running on fundamentals and it started running on steroids and cotton candy and Red Bull. It really likes Democrats.
And that started in the early 90s. Or should I say Bush Senior threw it a curve. And then Clinton Bill cemented that curve.
Until then, the market far preferred Republicans because they like sound money. And then Republicans forgot what sound money was. Post Reagan.
Then it flipped the other way. And then the Keynesians basically took over the Democratic Party. And they became government stimulus.
Just print it, print it, print it. And the market loves money printing because it has to go somewhere. So it goes to overinflated market values.
What make the wealthy wealthier? The problem is it causes inflation. Which sucks the money out of the middle class and the working class. And that’s what we’ve been experiencing.
Welcome to Klaus Schwab’s world. Welcome to Bill Gates’ world. Welcome to the Rhino Party’s world.
Welcome to the Democratic Party. Copper doesn’t get suppressed like silver. Copper tends to or rarely.
Copper really is more of a reactionary to manufacturing. If there’s more manufacturing going on. Or if they believe there’s going to be an industrial push.
Or a modernizing power grid. Things like that. In other words, when they believe the economy is going to grow.
People can buy durable goods. Then copper goes up. Copper goes down quicker whenever sentiment isn’t there.
So if worldwide sentiment for growth or possible recession is down. Copper would come down. Because it’s a manufacturing use metal.
Not one you store for store value. Love it. Vietnam who used to have crazy tariffs on us is now saying zero tariffs.
Racing to negotiate. Vietnam and others are racing. Yes they are.
Vietnam wants to take China’s place. Vietnam looks at this opportunity for massive, massive manufacturing growth. They have two caveats.
Or should I say Trump has two caveats for them. He has said that you cannot manipulate your currency. You got to fix your currency values.
And you got to drop your tariffs. And then absolutely we’ll give you that trade status. Preferred stuff that we had with China.
Vietnam could massively, massively grow over this. So it doesn’t surprise me that they are the first to come to the table. Or one of the early adopters.
David War Turtle. I appreciate you brother. Very kind.
I kind of like the copper magnetic and the bracelets. It really is kind of fascinating. Have you guys ever watched some of the… I’m trying to remember the name of the photography.
I don’t think it’s the Krillian. But it could be something along those lines. They can look at your energy levels.
And how they react when you wear like magnets, copper, certain metals, certain fabrics. It’s really cool. I think it is.
I think there’s a little more to it than just a pseudoscience. Not certainly fully understand the mechanisms. But I think it’s really cool.
Currency manipulation. All right. If I… Purposely… Purposely… Sorry guys.
Something in my eyes. You do know that… Anybody out there knows that the worst state, worst location in the world for allergies is North Carolina. You think it might be bad where you’re at.
But it is quite literally… The fauna here is… Flora. Excuse me. The flora is unreal.
The number of trees and pollen. It’s beautiful. But you pay for it.
What countries do is they’ll devalue their currency on purpose. So that internationally, your dollars will buy more bang for the buck. So you’ll buy your manufactured goods from them.
So they manipulate their currency on purpose. So that they can have a trade imbalance. In other words, if your currency needs to be worth more.
So that you don’t have an unfair advantage in trade. He wants you to have the proper value. So you can’t purposely devalue your currency.
They pushed and pushed. China raised the value of theirs back in the 90s because of massive trade imbalances. Nobody’s pushed hard enough since.
Until Trump. And then Trump pushed in 2016. Through tariffs.
And then again. Now. Kate, I’ve seen so much cool stuff on your electro culture or whatever.
Where people are putting copper in their gardens. It’s pretty cool. Marty, I’ve not heard this one.
But boy, would I be excited. Marty posting that I hear the med beds coming out the 9th or the 10th. Guys, I’ve not seen anything on that front.
But if you do see something, please talk about it in chat. Because I’m as excited as you guys are with the potential. Gee whiz, I’m throwing my pennies in my garden this year.
Better throw old pennies in because the new ones don’t have copper. Not much of it. Miss Jeannie.
Did you see the clip where Nancy called Hillary president? Slip of the tongue. Hope you have a wonderful week. Miss Jeannie, I appreciate that.
I have seen that clip in the past. Wait, Diane and Pete, Mark, hot. Warren Buffett announces it is effing over.
I wonder who he’s referring to. Can you get me anything on that one? Sue Ellen, Northwest Washington in full bloom. Beautiful.
Wow, keeping tissues on hand. Right, it’s beautiful, but you pay for it. Let’s see.
Rumor of Trump pausing tariffs. White House said it’s false. Cindy.
In upstate South Carolina. I feel your allergy, but you guys get it just like we do. Northern South Carolina, especially in the central region.
Same way. You guys get it the way we do. Oh, I’m sorry.
That wasn’t for me. Trying to keep up with you guys. I am not hearing that we’re going to be charged a lot for med beds.
I am being told they will be extremely affordable, in many instances, free based on need. Market up, market down. Market adjust.
Back down 900 points. Watch that puppy. It’s bouncing.
Shot over, shot down, shot over. I’m wondering if what we see is when a bigger company or fund corrects and then starts purchasing other assets, and then the market shoots, and then they stop. I’m just wondering what’s going on here.
It’s going to be an interesting market to watch today. Reading a few of your comments. It would be so fun to celebrate Easter on the 20th.
It would be an easy time to do it. If what we’ve always heard about the St. Germain Trust is true and easy to open on Easter and Christmas, it would be a great time to do it. Howard Zestern after the Duke loss.
Guys, that was our game to lose. Young team, freshman team, absolutely horrendous officiating, starting with the technical at the end. What can you do? An older team, even with the horrendous calling, have you guys paid attention in the sports? How many announcers are talking about how that changed the game? Not to take away from their win, but a more mature team would not have let that lead, those 14 points evaporated because it was a 14-0 run.
They’re a bunch of freshmen. They’re a bunch of freshmen with a third-year head coach. They had a heck of a run, a heck of a season, and they got more coming for next year.
It’s definitely a win where you guys didn’t win. Duke lost. That’s my take on that one.
Wait, gold just dropped below three. That’s got to be manipulation. No, I’m still showing just over, but right at it, so it doesn’t really matter.
Wow. We are watching some craziness going on in the markets right now. It’s adjusting.
Nobody read too much into them right now. Watch them. Hey, Tom, I appreciate that over on the rumble front.
Yeah, the left desperately wants to impeach Trump. Problem is, the people love Trump. Claire and Wayne, I quit watching the NCAA of Kentucky.
I almost wore a Kentucky shirt this morning. Oh, wow. Teresa, pollen count in North Georgia slash North Carolina corner.
The pollen count reached 14,000-plus and broke a record. Yep, it’s a mess. I have not heard how Liz is doing.
Gene, where’d your energy come from? I’m just excited about what’s going on. I am so excited. We have so much going on.
It’s getting exciting. Reading, I don’t, could be wrong, but based on the basketball I’ve been watching, I think Gators are going to the finals, but I don’t think they’re winning the finals. We’ll see.
We’ll find out tonight. It’ll be interesting to watch this one. All right, I am going to wrap just a touch early so I can get busy and get work done having fun with these.
Well, somebody misunderstood. Starting as soon as the technicals, where the calls just started going, just completely questionable. Right after that, the two fouls that were very questionable.
But come on, it’s sports. We’re supposed to like our team more than the other one. That’s the way it works.
Why was Russell Brand charged for a crime? Why was, all right, why was Julian Assange charged? Spent years. And then, of course, everything dropped. They couldn’t prove anything.
They just let Julian Assange up. He gave too much news. Why is Russell Brand being charged, in my opinion? Now, don’t get me wrong.
Russell Brand was a party guy. I mean, he was drugged out and loved sex back in his day. So I don’t know the stories, but even Russell Brand said, yeah, I was a wild man.
So for them coming forward with some stories like that, it doesn’t surprise me too much on that front. But why now is your biggest question. Why not years ago? Now is because Russell Brand is such a big voice for conservatives after his change, his epiphanies.
That’s exactly why they’re trying to shut up. Any voice that gets big, they’ve tried. Tucker Carlson is just too clean.
They’ve tried for years. So they’re going to keep going after anybody they can. Same reason they’re going after Elon Musk.
They’re terrified of him, and they want to shut up. They’re not terrified of Elon Musk. They’re not terrified of Russell Brand.
They’re terrified, or Julian Assange. They’re not terrified of those people. They’re terrified of any voice that they can bring in their reach to let people know.
And so for that reason, they’re going after Russell Brand. They’ve gone after any voice that gets bigger. I’ve experienced that, where people have two sets of values, a set of values for themselves, and a set of values that suddenly become important because mainstream media told them and they want to shut somebody up.
Exactly. The attacks are real. Guys, it’s not just Russell Brand.
It’s not just me. It’s not Julian Assange. It’s not all these people.
Have they not attacked you? Did they not remove you from your social medias? Did they not shut you up? Did they not try to cost you jobs? Guys, this is an all-out war for PSYOP war. What do you want to call it? Reading a few. Let’s see.
Wait, wait, wait. Peach King, yep. It’s set up to shut Russell Brand up, who’s a born-again Christian.
Birthday, daughter’s birthday today. I am glad you said that. Birthdays.
Good name for an April birthday, right? Anybody else? Sound off. Mary Peterson, I have no idea what you want me to clarify, so it won’t help unless you give me some background. Flight level, 72nd.
Let’s read over here. Who do we have on this front? Trying to see if we have some birthdays on the rumble side. So far, it’s April on flight level.
Now Lane. About the last of my bowl of popcorn. See you later.
Hope you enjoyed it. Reading a few of these. Coming back to you guys.
Let’s see. Yesterday was Bonnie’s husband, Tim, celebrated 59. Happy belated.
Wow, crude’s down to 59.94. Wait, you mean inflation’s coming down? Sherry, I have to. Sherry’s saying, anyone know if we should pay our ass a lot of money to throw away? You’ll need to unlock your iPhone first. I don’t know why my phone decided to think I was talking to the AI over there, but the responsible thing is to tell you to pay them.
And if it works like Mr. C, you get it back. Lana, 24 yesterday. Happy birthday.
Kara, happy birthday. Trying to keep up with you guys. Christine, 68 on Saturday.
I’m going to be a big 58 this year. April Ann, 47 yesterday. John turned 52 yesterday.
Susan celebrating a birthday. I’m with Lisa. Well, Lisa just said paid another nine grand and that’s enough.
No, I’m with you. It’s stupid. Robin’s birthday.
Happy birthday, Robin. Penny’s still in Puerto Rico. She doesn’t travel back and forth.
Jason, I am told that a cashier’s check will not be needed under the new system, that your debit card will work because it’ll be secure funds. You’ll just be able to pay instant there. You won’t have to do a funky check.
The fees come down, so it’s just as cheap for them to do that one. Let’s see. Trying to keep up with you all.
Y’all are running. Susan’s birthday. I’m going to miss any.
Let me know. I’m a Sin Pony year older. Let’s sing happy birthday and get out of here, get stuff done.
I’ll be back tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. So they tell me it’s your birthday. Well, happy birthday, darling. May you live.
May you love. May all your dreams come true. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you, to you, to all those celebrating. Enjoy it.
Enjoy those birthdays. I appreciate that one. Kukla, the coloring here, though, the lights are giving me a reddish tint.
Got to figure that one out. I got a lot of adjustments to do. System had a lot of updates to do from not being on and so long.
See, Wendy born on date yesterday. Also, Wendy had one yesterday. Not my sister, Wendy, a different one and a new granddaughter born.
All right, you birthday folks. I will see you in the morning. I got much to get done.
Bye, guys. Don’t panic. The market’s going to go nuts.
You’re going to hear crazy news. You knew it was going to be nuts. Don’t panic.
Bye, guys.
