Coffee with MarkZ. 04/24/2025
Good morning, all. Let’s see, how does the mic sound? I probably should have checked to make certain it’s the right one it is. I think it’s like the first day Windows hadn’t decided to change my mic randomly.
Painter! Good to see you. Randall Anushka, hello, miss, what happened to 9.30? We did that last week. Was it last week? I don’t know.
Anyways, it wasn’t 9.30 today, it was at 10. Hello, Kay Short. Normal time today, nothing special.
Tonight is 30 minutes early, 6.30. Let’s see, let’s get back to it. Joe, are Exchange Center’s contacts working now through Sunday? Mine have not checked in. Usually I get a check in, sometimes as early as Thursday, usually Friday early, and they let me know if they have been told to expect to work or not.
So I just don’t know the answer for you today. I’m guessing somebody out there reporting that they are. Yeah, how is everybody doing on the game? Man, I wish I had that link with me, I just don’t have it ready.
Hello, Papa Dan, the game I’m talking about is Mike Perch and The Hunt. Subvet, 74 today. Anybody else? Sound off, I’m going to keep trying to take a look and see if I can find more.
Yeah, a lot of folks have lost them. This is tough. Prayers for you.
Lost my father the other day waiting for med beds, waiting for the world to shake. Hypnosis, fear, and propaganda cost dearly here. Great man and a father.
All I can say is praying for your comfort, I know that’s got to be tough. Not a day I look forward to it all myself. Art, turning 41 today.
Hello, Weezer Champagne Princess, Mr. Ward. Excolius doing the 69th birthday. Happy birthday.
Boy, the Judy note sure has some hard to believe stuff. They’re repeating what other people are saying, guys. You just got to understand when you read them to read with a critical thinking mind.
Let’s see, Dwight Todd in 63 days. Ah, that would be the landmark, Todd. How old are you going to be? Happy 58th to Broncos Freak, only 30 days.
Yeah, I appreciate that, Broncos Freak. Happy birthday. To Jasper Danders, I, yeah, I’m going to start paying, well, I started paying attention yesterday.
Happy birthday to Brother Randy, 50th. Happy birthday, Randy. It all gets serious now.
The AARP magazines are there. Hello, Jotzalo. Hello, Mr. Patton.
Hello, Milton. All right, since Charlie Ward’s having this golf conference next week, when it makes sense, we will not RV until at the earliest. We’ve got freedom traveler, what in the heck at all, period, on the face of this planet.
Does Charlie’s golf tournament have to do with the timing? Nothing. I’ve had a lot of people say that, and that’s why I’m making that comment, guys. You can’t live your life on hold.
You keep planning things. It doesn’t mean because somebody’s planned something that that means it can’t happen until then. It doesn’t mean that at all.
It just means you kept moving forward. You made a plan. You kept living life.
It’s going to happen when it happens. I guess that’s my take on that one, and that’s my cautionary tale to everybody. I know I’ve made bad decisions in the past because it was going to happen tomorrow.
This thing is a when, not an if. We just got to survive. Speaking of that golf tournament, much-needed golf tournament and truth seeker event.
From derail April 28th through May 2nd. Since the last Clay Clark reawakened tour in October 2024, people everywhere have been starving for the ability to see and hear from their favorite truthers. The people who bring them the truth with the fall of mainstream media and the rise in truth or podcasts and networks.
American people need an opportunity to meet and speak with people who bring them truth, plus each other and themselves. Kind of Excited made the news. My picture made the news.
Zester’s picture made the news. Of course, they gave a list of many of the names. They didn’t list Zester and I, though.
I’m a little heartbroken since I’m way bigger than some of the people. Maybe I should go on a diet, but no. I still think it was pretty awesome to see the story.
I do think it’s necessary. It’s like going to church to be around people that you think like. Doesn’t mean all of them.
Doesn’t mean they’re perfect. But you enjoy the time around them and with people of like mind. Pretty excited about that one.
Very excited. It’s going to throw off podcasting some next week. Be prepared.
Wednesday will be a travel day. I don’t know what to expect yet in timing. Probably going to have to do the Wednesday morning podcast early.
And no whiskey next Wednesday. Oh, wait a minute. I just saw that one.
LSU nurse. It’s going to be a busy one for you. My daughter’s getting married Saturday.
The fun starts today. Start enjoying. It’s going to be hectic, but good.
Memories. Jimmy J. All I can say is I know somebody with dollars, so you can have your opinion and I can have mine. Are they overwhelming majority still waiting for those initials? Yes.
Just because you don’t know somebody that got paid. Oh, well, see, there you go. L.S. nurse, LSU girl.
See, I was prepared for you today. That rain. I love it.
Oh, you guys are funny. Yeah, but we definitely don’t have the number of a moving to trigger currency yet. I’m hoping that changes.
Today is 47 curious minds birthday. Trying to keep up with all of these. I’m getting a kick out of you guys this morning.
Y’all are fun. But Jimmy. Yeah, I’m glad you know who I am.
That helps. He most obvious. Good to see you, Mr. Demers.
Hello, Weezer Crypto Kenny. Do we have an ad today? Oh, you know, the only thing I can say, guys, is Freedom Forge coffee. If you want to know that your dollars are actually going to a patriot based and minded company instead of one that donates to the left.
NGOs, you name it. You want to know that it’s quality. You want to know that they care about where it comes from to make certain there’s not pesticides, chemicals, bugs and sticks.
Freedom Forge coffee. It’s a great cup of coffee. Jimmy, I suggest you start a podcast.
I would be very supportive of you to have your opinion. I would be glad to give you my thoughts and help if you would like start one so that you can speak your truth on your platform. And then you’ll understand what it’s like to have the trolls come when you’re doing your level best.
Hello, Richane. Hello, Miss Hayes. Hello, LG Lady and Buddy.
Buddy, yes, but not on currency. I want to caution people. I do not know anybody that’s received any dollars on currency yet.
How will the digital NAR affect our exchange? Stephanie, we have to go back and find the articles from years ago on the IDNAR. It doesn’t affect our exchange if that’s what you’re worried about. It’s the process.
They said they were going to a digital or a ledger currency. Basically, it’s a digital currency that is backed by assets. And when you have cash in the market, it will represent the digital.
So it’s just an interesting way to do it where they can’t fudge the numbers, print money that doesn’t exist. It has to actually be backed by physical currencies. We do get a lot of the same questions every day, Kevin, but that’s okay.
A lot of new people, too. So I’m going to try to be more patient. I sometimes have a difficult time, just like all humans.
We all do. Pamela is celebrating mom’s heavenly 90th. 14 tough years.
Yeah, I am looking forward to disclosure on 9-11. A bunch of it would be nice. Would be very nice.
How do I? You don’t, Gene. You have to go on one of his podcasts and ask him the question. I am extremely unusual in that I do attempt to answer as many emails as I can.
I should stop for my own sanity, but you have to go on one of his podcasts. He does them, usually three a week, and answers questions. Oh, Mac, that’s too funny.
I said that at 9-11. Well, 9-11, your time. Patience for passions.
Dad’s 81st birthday today. Happy birthday, dad, for Miss Jeannie’s dad. You just had your birthday, too.
It’s Esther, not Jester, but a lot of people get confused on that one. Cheeseburger, it’s always a pleasure to see you. Always a pleasure.
Joe, 65 on Monday, been waiting to be serenaded for five years. Joe, I am so looking forward to seeing it on Monday. Do you? Brenda, you got to like that, right? Get dollars and disappear.
That’s the smart thing. That is the smart thing. I haven’t talked to Jeff Rahm in a while.
Flattaby, you missed the flag. I kind of missed the flag, too. All right, guys.
Let’s get to it. Zester gets auto-corrected to Jester. That makes sense.
That doesn’t surprise me. Gina, you may have answered this before, but I’m curious. When bondholders are paid, is that because they are helping fund the currency holders? It’s separate dollars coming in, but the dollars, as my understanding, for bondholders is being used to create the liquidity to pay us.
So that’s not the purpose, but it is the effect. Ready, set. Jane, hypothetically, once you cash in the first basket, what would be a good currency purchase in the second? Well, it depends on what goes in the first and what doesn’t, but we’ve been working on a list of those.
Actually, Ray helped put one together. I’ll work on getting that one. What I think will be next, or what I’m eyeing, it is not advice, it’s just what I think is going to be next.
Let’s see, what are good? Me, personally, I wouldn’t buy any bonds right now. So many fakes out there, and they are so clogged up in the vetting process to make certain that they are 100% legit. I would be hesitant.
You would need to do a tremendous amount of due diligence to make certain they are not a recent print or a counterfeit. Sarah J., keep taking notes. Booger, I appreciate you.
All right, guys. One more, and then we’ve got to get to it. I don’t think you see my comments the other day about my daughter Ashley’s 24th birthday.
No, I definitely didn’t see it sooner. Last Friday, happy belated sister Deanna celebrated her 63rd birthday yesterday. Now, sooner we need to get on and celebrate yours as well.
G.J., I called Chase Bank regarding exchanging. They told me, yes, they’re exchanging. I need to make an appointment.
Now you’ve got to wait for a rate change so that it makes sense. Inspiring Alchemist, take the worry about double dipping and throw it out the door. If they don’t go all at once, it is a cause and effect.
It is going to be up to the system. If they want to do it all at one time, then you don’t have to worry about it. If they’re going to do it over time, there’s going to be double dipping.
Trey was 60th. Happy belated. That’s why I firmly believe they’re going to lump as many of the currencies in as they can and do them all at one time.
All right. I know we need to be getting to some kind of news. There’s not a tremendous amount of news today.
Let me be very, very, very upfront on that one. So those that are just here for that can call it a day. We did talk about this one, the golf tournament happening next week.
Charlie made the gateway pun and I was excited about that. I will be there for the gala on Wednesday night, be speaking on Thursday. They have moved Zester and I from the second to the first.
So we will be speaking at 330 and at 350. We haven’t decided because they’re giving the speakers 20 minutes. They want us to speak for 20 minutes each.
And Zester and I are considering grouping ours together. We’ve got a topic or two that we’re interested in covering. And then possibly taking some questions, maybe doing something a little different with it than most are doing.
Instead of just a PowerPoint presentation. Yeah, I’m pushing for history of other resets. We’ve also talked about the history of money.
A few topics that we’re considering. Iraqi markets signed a memorandum of understanding with the Abu Dhabi market to join the Tabidoo platform. Why is this important? Because that means fully international.
Not this kind of in-between world in which they live right now. Full international, which should mean a fully international rate. Bare minimum, a real effective exchange rate, if not a straight up reinstatement or revaluation.
Public-private partnership law, a step towards diversifying the economy and reducing dependence on oil. When I read these, I forget a lot about what we have here in the United States. And I think many people forget about just how recent this experiment in people being in charge of themselves is.
It was a great experiment. Hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and down by their creator with certain inalienable rights, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. Well, among these are those, that thing, it’s that pursuit of happiness, meaning that you are allowed to work, own, and get the fruits of your labor.
This is what it is widely accepted as with the framers and the time period. We can go, we can read Common Sense, Leviathan, and all those and find out the people that influenced our founding fathers and that mindset. But what I don’t think, because we’ve had so many generations now and much of the westernized world thinks the way we do now.
I don’t think they realize how recent in the human world it is. Before governments made decisions, your leaders made decisions, you didn’t think for yourself. You were told where to live, what to do, how to function, what your career was going to be.
They’re tackling some of this mindset, very socialism-based or princes or royalty leading, not a true republic where you elect people to represent you. You work for yourself, etc. This is really a new thing in much of the Middle East.
I know some people are out there screaming there have been plenty of experiences in democracy throughout it. Yes, I know, and through history, but recent history. This is kind of new, and they are learning how to do this through PPP, private-public partnerships.
As they transition their economy from 100% pretty much state, other than the occasional small entrepreneur that might have a little corner store. They’re expanding now, and they’re learning how to set up corporations, business owners, entrepreneurs, learning, setting up, bringing in things, and this is going to be their answer. They want to be a free and open market, very unusual for this area, very unusual for Iraq, and they are learning that process.
We take it for granted. This is new to them. This is new to them, and as Saleh says, they are on the cusp of a golden age.
They are on the cusp of prosperity because of this. In other words, they’ve laid the groundwork. They’re preparing everything.
They’re doing their reforms. There was another great article that just would not translate. I should have a better translated copy of it for this evening that I wanted to share from Saleh.
He’s been very busy. In this one, he’s letting us know that their prudential policies, central bank in the face of risk of global economic crisis, how they’ve invested everything they need to. They’ve supported their currency.
They can purchase 100% of the dinar in circulation, remove every single one of them, and have cash left over. They have loaded up on gold so that they can weather these storms, and everybody stopped panicking. They’re in a good position.
This is the architect now. This is the person who took the place of Shabibi in designing their systems. Susan, if basket one goes, we’ll be notified again, just the same way you would be now.
You would have to keep up with, follow, et cetera. Positive stuff out of Iraq. Nothing groundbreaking.
Bond, a lot of bond folks expecting final contracts and originating wires. Now we’re waiting to see, does the money move? That’s your update on the bond side. I really don’t have one for you.
I’ve not heard anything recent. We still have a number of groups that have their staffs on standby to come in and start working. I haven’t found many that have called in a crew.
I have had found a few that have called in some people to start preparing, laying out groundwork, how they’re going to handle it, et cetera. I would feel better if I had every group calling in people. Unimaginable fortune, 55 billion tons of iron discovery and hidden reserve worth trillions of dollars and set to reshape the gold industry.
In a monumental discovery that promises to reshape both the mining industry and our understanding of geological processes, scientists have unearthed a massive iron ore deposit in Western Australia, valued at trillions of dollars, sparking global economic scientific intrigue. Boy, Australia is full of some fun stuff. Part of the move to the commodity cycle, if you guys aren’t paying attention, all of these sudden discoveries, or should I say sudden announcements of discoveries, a lot of these you’re going back and you’ll find out that they’ve known about them three years, four years, five years, but it’s a sudden discovery.
Personally, I think this is to help support the value of their currency. Pamela, most or what I consider to be the biggest ones in the first basket would be the Dinar, the Dong, and Indonesia. Of course, we’re all hopeful for Zimbabwe and Venezuela in there as well.
But the key ones I’m looking for, Dinar, Dong, Indonesia, and Zimbabwe are the biggest ones I’m looking for. Don, days or weeks away, best guess. If I had to make a guess, I mean, my guess is about as useless as anybody else’s.
I would guess sometime next week, and then within a week or two of that, that’s just a guess. Trying to keep up with a few of these. Mark, is it conceivable that banks will ask for appointments, accept your IQD with a promised payout amount like 320, so everyone will pay you at that level and take the spread when it goes? I guess it’s theoretical, but it would cause more problems than they will choose to deal with.
I’m told it’s very regulated, that this thing is planned out to remove any of that fraud, and very set on pricing. Trying to keep up with some of the questions, because I do have unexpected extra time. Stacey is not joining today.
I would have had Jonathan Otto on this morning instead of this evening. But I did not know, and it works out, because it gives us some time. Bob, we already gave the bond update.
You missed it. Just back her up a touch. Aid Intercess, and are you talking about it, Charlie? I’m there the whole time.
If you’re there, it’s my understanding you don’t even have to have a membership or whatever to come hang out in some of the pubs or bars that they have in the hotel. So I assume I’ll be down there having a soda or water or something, carrying on with folks. I make myself as available as I can with how much they have us drug this way, drug that way, and scheduled for this, that, and the other.
I don’t know how many of those they’ve done for us this time, how many meet and greets, etc. Anna Liberated, I am certain it will be online, available somehow, someway. Rita, I’ve shared everything I feel comfortable sharing on the bond side.
I wonder what the Gold Egg podcast is going to doggnail. Let’s find out. I’m looking forward to it.
Fish Boss just said, if you buy a bond that’s being held at a vault facility under an SKR, you need the box number and serial numbers of the bonds for legal proof. It’s probably going to be, well I shouldn’t say probably, there would be a higher level. They would be a lot safer.
They’re also exponentially more expensive. Let’s see, belated happy birthday, is it your birthday, Rans? Yeah, I’m going to have a tough time pronouncing that one. If it is happy birthday, or belatedly so, trying to keep up with y’all’s comments.
I can turn this one off, we don’t need that still flashing. I know there’s still more to talk about, but we don’t need a flashing anymore. Mr. C is planning on joining tomorrow, for those that would like to join and question him.
Diane and Pete have seen positive evidence that Venezuelan boulevards are slipping with mass circulation. I do know that they’ve made a lot of moves in country. They’ve started rent, well should I say modernizing a lot of food, canneries, plants, etc.
They’ve been pulling massive amounts of currencies off the street. And now they are getting rid of the U.S. dollar on the streets as well. So could they still be going? Yeah, it’s highly possible.
I just go back and forth on what to expect, based on the news of the day. I wish I felt more confident that we were 100%. Right now I only feel maybe 90%.
Douglas, my Chase Bank in Colorado Springs will accept it, which is pretty cool since they used to not accept it, but they will not sell it to me. They’re just preparing. Terry, it’s good to see you in the house.
The Charlie Ward Insiders, I guess, club will get live podcasts for all of it. Sergio, enjoy that retirement. I think it’s going to be good timing.
And then we just had United We Stand. Who are in tier? Well, we’ll get Mr. C to do a breakdown of tiers tomorrow. I’m putting it on his list.
He does the best explanation. Rather than me butcher it and just cause more problems and questions. Before I forget, IRS employees are back to work in office.
No exceptions, I’m being told, starting April 30th. Jay, if an MCA is available for the Venezuelan currency, then yes, it would just be automatic. Anytime you use an MCA, that’s how it works.
A multi-currency account. A couple more things to talk about and then we’re just going to hang out. I’ll take as many questions as I can.
Hopefully, I won’t screw any of them up. Elizabeth, I’ve gone back and listened to some of the old ones to see what I had right and how much I had wrong. China dismisses reports of U.S. trade progress as fake news.
Demands removal of unilateral tariffs before negotiating table. Both sides trying to save public face. They don’t want to be the first ones to blink rather than blink at the same time and act like adults.
They’re going to continue this game. The question is, who can outlast who? Chinese factories are shutting down. Employees aren’t getting paid.
Banks are failing. Can they outlast the U.S. consumer? Will the consumer whine because we can’t get cheap dollar stuff from the dollar store? We have to buy a quality spatula for $10 instead of $2. Who’s going to blink first? Is the U.S. going to give in to consumer demand and the politicians are going to feel pressured? Or is it going to be China, who has unemployed, failing banks, failing companies, destitute individuals? Who’s going to blink first as we are their largest customer? Now, keep in mind, China, I’m not talking about right and wrong here.
I’m talking about reality. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what’s fair, what you consider right, or what you consider wrong. But what matters is the reality of the situation.
Here’s the reality. Every day, you don’t blink to some reasonable level because, come on, take a look at the tariffs you were charging us. They were not reasonable and they were not fair.
Your trade practices were not reasonable and not fair, so an adjustment has to be made. You may not like me telling you that, but I’m giving you some painful truth. Here’s your other painful truth.
Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, all these other places, India, they would love to have all those sales for their companies. They would truly, truly love to have it so they can have fuller and better employment, better trade, all of those things. So, every day you delay, we find a new supplier.
Every time you play that game, every time you dig deep, this isn’t about blinking or playing chicken. This is just about common sense. Every day you do that, another company finds another supplier, whether it’s in Vietnam, whether it’s Hyundai, whether it’s another one of these large companies, whether it is in Korea.
They find a new supplier, a new plant, ups production to fill that gap. Then guess what? When they finally do get this figured out, it’s probably going to be too late. I don’t think your sales will ever recover unless you come to the table within the next couple of weeks.
Tops, you are up against a deadline. You’re committing, well, economic suicide. James, I’m starting my military two-week annual training today.
Oh, God, no. You won’t miss them, James. They’ll be open plenty of time.
You’ll be good. Even if it happened the day you went in, you would still have a couple weeks when you’re out. Don’t worry.
All right, Steven. Rewatched old podcasts, all comments, 12 errors. Yeah, you do have to wonder.
Let’s see. Mark, have a wonderful fantastic week. Oh, wait, my birthday’s not for a while unless you’re talking about somebody else.
Mine’s next month. Todd, do you think there’ll be a Mar-a-Lago summit to restructure the world financial system soon? They certainly are talking about it. Judy Shelton’s talking about it.
Jim Rickards’ talking about it. Donald Trump’s talking about it. Scott Pesent’s talking about it.
The Denmark Central Bank is talking about it. The Philadelphia Fed’s talking about it. I don’t think there’s many people out there that aren’t talking about the impending reset.
Question is, what exactly will it look like? Yeah, Pesent, I mean, they’re just blatantly talking about it. I have not heard a good excuse for what you folks call a stall. The question is, was it a stall or was it never designed to go before now? What do I need to speak about on wise accounts? If you have a wise account, it’s like a multi-currency account.
It’s just easier to use online. You will have some limits how much you can pull out each per day, kind of like you do with Cash App or anything else. But you hold them in those currencies.
So if you have a million Vietnamese dong on your wise account, then you still have a million Vietnamese dong. The question is, is that dong worth $40 for a million of them in U.S. or is it worth $2 million U.S.? That’s the only part that changes. You still have the same amount of dong after the value changes.
The difference is when you convert it to U.S. dollars or spend it, it has a much higher value. They really are really simple. People are overthinking how a multi-currency account or a wise account work.
You don’t have to jump through hoops to exchange. You don’t have to go take it in and turn it in. It’s just automatic.
It’s in the bank as that. GW, you really can’t get your paper into a wise account. You have to do it all digitally and online, so you’d have to turn it into U.S. dollars.
If you had other currencies, turn it into U.S. dollars, put it in your bank, send it to your wise. Underdog Nation, do I believe April’s out at this point? No. Do I think it’s getting shorter and shorter on the window? Yes, just because of the date.
It all depends. Do all of these bond wire transfers initiate over the next day or two that they are expecting? It really does all boil down to that on our timing. If they don’t, don’t panic.
They’re going to happen. I guess some truthers are fear-mongering, telling people wise won’t convert. There’s nothing to convert with your wise account, guys.
When it happens, it’s still that number. Whatever currency you bought, it’s still that amount of currency. The difference is when you move it to the U.K. or the E.U. or the U.S., that’s when you see the difference.
It fluctuates based on the value of the currency in comparison to whatever country you’re living in, whether you’re looking at it in U.S. dollars or you’re looking at it in euros or whatever. David, boy, I’ve been talking about that pretty much this whole podcast. The ones I’m looking for, Denart, Dong, Indonesia, I feel pretty confident we’ll see Zimbabwe.
If the news stays good, I’m going to feel really good about Venezuela again. Those are the ones I’m watching. I haven’t heard any news on the Pango.
I have no idea what to tell you. Will it? Won’t it? What’s the value? I don’t know. I just can’t get a banker.
I can’t get a contact to comment on it. Kenneth wants to know, can a multi-currency account be in just any old bank? Not all banks offer them. Those with a bigger international footprint do.
I’m told that more banks will offer them once this goes. I am hopeful that that’s true because I would love to. Any new currency I play with, I would like to do it in a multi-currency account or invest in or try or gamble on, whatever you guys want to call it.
AK Rep, I think Glint’s a pretty cool idea. Is it a perfect system? No, but it’s pretty daggone cool. Even if bonds get paid, holders of CMKX, foreign bonds, etc.
still need to get paid before currency and Zimbond holder. Steven, as I understand it, I was told that would take about 48 hours for all of that to get paid, not necessarily Zimbond holders, but CMKX, foreign bonds, prosperity package, etc. So that for me is just not a concern.
That’s a short window to get her done. I was told even in Canada, where there are a lot of CMKX holders, it may take one extra day. Judy said, please pray.
We are headed to St. Louis for my husband’s lung transport. All you prayer warriors out there, Judy and her husband, the family could use some prayers to guide the doctor’s hands for healing and that the lungs transplant well. Tammy, I’m planning on taking all my currencies when I go.
Hey, which ones will you take? What’s the value? Just reading a few of these. I know I need to be going on. We still got one or two more news things to touch on.
Pamela, depends on what the value of the DONG goes for. But here, let’s do a little basic math. If you have a 5,000 DONG and it goes for one U.S. dollar, then you would have 5,000 U.S. dollars.
If it goes for two dollars, you’d have 10,000 U.S. dollars. If it goes for 10 cents, you’d have 500 U.S. dollars. The math is quite simply that simple.
Haven’t heard any news on Yellow Dragon specifically. I haven’t heard anything on any individual bond. I’ve heard overall amounts for some bondholders, but I’m not going to tell you somebody else’s math.
Haven’t heard anything on the Ripple case today. China dismisses reports of U.S. trade progress. Oh, wait, we already did this one.
Let’s keep moving. Trump’s considering auto tariff exemptions, the White House confirms. He is worried as they are moving plants, et cetera, that he may give some temporary allowances to certain companies.
Also, some temporary allowances on auto parts that are going into a lot of the vehicles that are coming here so that the price of vehicles do not skyrocket. This isn’t a removal. They are still moving plants here.
These are for companies and countries that are being proactive. Speaking of which, about 90 countries so far have come to the table to sit down, negotiate, work something out. Let’s put that one in there right there.
U.S. has spoken to 90 countries on trade tariffs. According to the Commerce Secretary, Trump working with these countries so it doesn’t quickly inflate the value of cars for those that need them. He wants to be very level-headed on this one.
He wants to be very effective, but he is also signaling that he is open to reasonable thought on this one. Specifically, though, he is looking to extend those tariff exemptions while they transition, while new suppliers are found from countries that do, well, participate in fair trade with the U.S. All right, we did that one. After returning from several meetings at the Trump DOJ, I wanted this one just to feel good, really, more than anything.
Vice Roy Mike Davis wants us all to know justice is definitely coming. Let me just assure the war room, they were specifically talking to Bannon’s crew at the war room, to the war room posse, justice is coming, and there’s going to be accountability for this unprecedented, Republic-ending lawfare where the Biden Justice Department was politicized and weaponized. There’s going to be accountability for a lot of these crimes.
It takes time. Kash Patel is there. He’s doing a hell of a good job.
So is Dan Bongino, his deputy. Justice is coming. Just because we don’t see it publicly does not mean it is not happening.
I know it is happening. Makes me feel a little better. I just wish that Dan and Kash were a little more public in the progress.
They don’t have to be specific. I understand you don’t want to risk the case. I get that.
But I do think that the people deserve better communication. Many of them went to extra ends to get out the vote, to make this happen, to be vocal, to be digital warriors, to let people know, to deep dive, to study, to learn. I think it is owed to the people to keep them informed as much as you can, and I think it would keep them calmer and happier, too.
All righty, then. I’ll read some of these. Florida passed Bill HB House Bill 99, designating gold and silver as legal tender mark.
You think that will affect mortgages and bank debt loans? If the loan or bill does not state gold or, I know I don’t think it will. I think they’re just giving you a backup system, and I don’t even understand why they did it. U.S. Constitution says states may only make gold or silver as legal tender.
In other words, they can’t make their own currency unless it’s just gold or silver. Other than that, it’s got to come from the federal government or from the U.S. Department of Treasury. U.S. Treasury.
Yeah, don’t tell anybody, the Fed. It’s not supposed to exist. Still waiting for everybody to figure that one out.
Vladimir, stop. Trump responds to a massive Russian missile strike in Kiev, leaving nine dead, over 70 injured in the capital city overnight. Amid stalled U.S.-led peace talks, Russia launched a massive overnight attack on the Ukraine, including raining down ballistic missiles on the center of Kiev, unleashing large-scale death and destruction.
Trump not happy. He even said, I’m not happy with the Russian strikes on Kiev. Not necessary and very bad timing.
Vladimir, stop. 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let’s get the peace deal done.
I’m going to have to disagree with Donald Trump here. I think it’s perfect timing if I were Putin. I’m not.
I’m not justifying. I’m not saying it’s okay to kill people. I’m not saying any of those.
I’m just saying, let’s talk about the logic here. Yesterday, Zelensky says, no, we want Crimea back. We want 100% back.
Our Constitution says this, and we’re not going to negotiate. It doesn’t matter how bad we’re losing, how bad we’re getting our butt kicked, how many people are dying, doesn’t matter. I won’t sit down at the table.
It’s pretty much the fit he had yesterday, over the last day or two. So personally, I think Putin did exactly what he should have done. He should have reminded the people of the Ukraine, what’s at stake, and reminded Zelensky, hey, we’ve been sitting down.
We did a ceasefire that you didn’t even want for Easter, and we stuck to it. This is going to be the third time we’re going to have a ceasefire, so we’re not going to stick to it. We just want to remind you that we can reach out and tap you in your house.
Are you ready to sit down again? For me, it makes perfect logic that he did this. I don’t like it. I don’t like that people died, but I understand the logic.
It’s like sticking carrot. If you want to sit down, we can have peace. If you don’t, you’re not going to get peace.
How does a war come to an end? Has anybody figured this out? Has anybody studied history enough to know that you have to either completely remove their military might so that they are impotent, you got to pull their teeth, break their arms, cut off their arms and legs, or you have to make it so unpalatable for the people that they no longer have the will to fight. That’s how you do it. People lose the will to fight.
Japan, it was too uncomfortable losing cities, knowing that you could lose another, that there would be no future. They were willing to quit. You have to, and it’s usually a combination of removing their military capabilities and making the people’s lives so miserable and so uncomfortable that the nation loses its will to fight.
It’s uncomfortable, it’s ugly, but it’s a reality of war. You have to make it so uncomfortable that they’re willing to sit down and negotiate. I guess Zelensky doesn’t think that the Ukrainian people are miserable enough or that enough of them have died for it to be time to sit down and talk.
I think they should have sat down and talked day one. I don’t think it should have ever happened. Let’s see.
Little Johnny’s thoughts. My opinion, we’re waiting for big business to invest in Iraq before the rate change easy as four times your money ever if you’re a business. It would be great opportunity, and we do know that they have already committed billions and billions and billions of dollars in private industries.
The U.S. just had a whole team there, but your logic makes perfect sense, Johnny. I just think we’re further along in that process. Let’s see.
Jason, will the exchange be a simple process where we need the three or even eight step process that some known bloggers are pushing? I don’t understand why you guys need somebody’s guide on how to do it. If you feel better, great. There are a lot of free ones out there and common sense, but if you’ve ever survived in business, you’re probably good to go.
It’s not a difficult process. You’ve got to hold your mouth this way. You’ve got to give a secret handshake.
You’ve got to pull your left ear. I don’t know why they’re trying to make it far more difficult than it is. I mean, what’s it like now if you have foreign currency? Let’s say you go off to a vacation, you come back, you go down to your local bank, say, hey, I just got back.
I’ve got this extra euro. I’ve got these extra euros. I should have exchanged them before I came back, but I didn’t.
What do I do with that? What do I do? They’re probably going to tell you, oh, we can take it here. We can put it in an envelope. Within a few days, that deposit will be in your account.
Or they can say, but if you’ll take it down to the branch on Friendly or Main Street or Chestnut, they can look at it and you can go ahead and get instant credit for it in your deposit. They’re overcomplicating. What’s up, Big Cat? Let’s see, what did Chrome say? Any plans for continual wealth strategies? Absolutely, you’re not getting rid of me.
Brother, I know you tried to jump off a cliff and get sick, but we’re not letting you pull that one. You got to stick around. I think it’s going to be more important after than it is before so we can help each other.
We can talk about what’s working for you, what’s working for me, and what’s important. Here’s the post-birthday. Jeremy, hello from Virginia.
John Carlos, his son. I arrived at the roastery. Justin says hello.
Tell Justin we said hello. Do I need to send a link for Justin so he can show off inside the roastery? That’s where he roasts the Freedom Forge coffee. That’s it.
I pulled my left ear. Trying to keep up with you guys. Wow, time’s going faster than I thought it would be.
What do you think? The U.S. is willing to walk away. Zelensky doesn’t show any desire to sit down. Putin is not a saint.
Zelensky is probably an idiot. What do you do? I kind of like the new U.S. approach. This one had me super excited.
Let’s have a little bit of fun here. Cells can hear sound with potential for medicine. As a matter of fact, they’ve even found frequencies of new fat cells.
Yeah, I know, right? Maybe your new diet will simply be walking around with a walkman playing the right tunes. Our cells can hear sound with potential for medicine. This one breaking in epic times or epic health.
Sound may prevent the formation of new fat cells. Let’s see. Human cells can hear sound waves potentially changing how we treat and control cellular activities impact many related fields.
Masahiro Kumeda, an expert in cell and molecular level biosciences and corresponding author told the epic times. A study recently published in the communications biology involved exposing cultured cells to sound waves using a device designed to emit vibrations by connecting a digital audio player to a diaphragm place in a cell culture dish. The study showed how cells reacted to different sound frequencies and audible to humans from two to 24 hours.
Here playing them. They use a set of sound patterns which included white noise as well as single frequency sounds at 440 and 14 kilohertz representing a low and high frequency within the human audible range respectively. According to Kumeda, the properties of sound can be used to treat obesity without surgery simply by attaching a sound generating device to the body because sound is a non-material physical phenomenon.
It will be a safe, immediate and highly permeable tool to transfer stimulation deep inside the body. How long have we been telling them? How long have we been talking about that? How long have they had the ohm, the Gregorian chant, the prayer bowls? How long has mankind known that? Isn’t it nice to know that we’re now seeing it in science all of our crazy thoughts? Just follow the science. I just thought that one was great.
Tim Fu, they have something different. They have, Tim Fu asking if they’ve got a mushroom coffee. They don’t have a mushroom coffee, but what they have is the Mico series called Freedom Enhancers.
The lion’s mane and cordyceps drops you add to it. This way you get your favorite coffee and it doesn’t separate in the bag what the concentrations are. Oh, man, you would love the guy.
We’re going to have him on sometime that does the extracts. This guy is over the top in his business, his practices, how he handles it that does the Mico series for us. You can add it.
It doesn’t have to be your coffee. It could be your beef stew. It could be your dente more.
It could be whatever. You can just add those to it. The concentration is extreme.
It’s all extracted down. Really cool stuff. They call it the Mico series or Freedom Enhancers.
Carol, 528 hertz is a healing frequency. I got a tuning fork at that frequency. I love those ideas.
That’s just bells, Carl. Absolutely, bells bring back the church bells. There used to be a lot of, a lot went into the church bells, the church bells ringing in the morning.
I used to just think, just reminded me of growing up in a small town. Come to find out, it’s really helpful that there is, and not only did it make me feel better, in other words, it wasn’t always psychosomatic. There was more to it.
I think it’s really cool. Stan, that’s a question you asked Mr. C tomorrow. Didn’t Mr. C say, Mr. C said that he believes that peace between Ukraine and Russia is necessary.
He doesn’t know for certain. That’s his opinion. It wasn’t told to him from up on high.
But ask him. Ask him that question tomorrow. Yeah, I just love it.
Bring back the church bells. I love church bells. Yeah, Carolina, what kind of frequency are they blasting us from the cell towers? I’m not guessing it’s something we want to be blasted at us.
Oh, Lonely Paco. I’m guessing Ukraine’s constitution doesn’t have anything about elections because Zelensky’s canceled the elections for several years. Oh, sticking green bean.
You’re killing me. Nagasaki and Hiroshima were carpet bombed. They weren’t nuked.
You think that was another lie? I don’t know. There’s some pretty cool footage from back then. I believe the RV would take place for everyone to just eat green beans.
Hunter guy, you’re killing me, man. You’re killing me. 432 hertz is very healing.
Rockefeller was the one that changed the tuning frequency for every musical instrument in the music industry. Yeah, they did. There’s a lot of history.
How much of it’s factual? How much of it is taken out of context? I don’t know. Reading a few of these. Reading a few of these.
Okay, let’s bring back church bells. I’m with you. Let’s do it, Elizabeth.
At Cremium, we really should want our own stuff. We should, as often as possible, we should want made in America. Now, if there are certain things from other countries, Crystal from Sweden, they make very nice horsey different things.
Different countries make unique things. Maybe a cuckoo clock from Germany from the Black Forest. Maybe pulled pork from the Carolinas.
I mean, there’s just certain things that other parts of the world do that are unique and good, but these common everyday things like just a standard bowl for your kitchen table, your pants, things like that, you really should do your best to get them made in your own country because it puts people in your country to work. Does it put them to work if you go buy them at a store and they’re imported from another country? Yes, but if you buy them at a store and it’s made in your own country, the producer, the farmer that produced the cotton, the person drilling the wells, it just is far more money staying on your own shores instead of going somewhere else. It’s just basic economics.
I have an antique clock at China. Oh, you should see. At some point, I’ve got to take some pictures and show off my mother’s grandfather clock.
It’s probably left from the Russian czars. And no, I’m not Russian or anything. Just the clock.
It’s pretty cool. Very cool. That’s definitely one of those where everybody in the family wants to inherit it, but I’m pretty certain my older sister will.
And that’s good as long as it stays in the family. I’m supportive. I even ring the church bells during the Muslim call.
Have you noticed that it’s loudspeakers? I don’t think, you know, even time in Morocco and other parts of the world, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them. It’s always been on a loudspeaker. That’s a good question.
If bells are healing, why do they call it getting your bell rung when somebody lays a heavy hit on you because you’re going to need healing bells? It makes you hear bells because you need them to heal? I don’t know. Well, Dean, we do need to probably have one just on trade and tariffs so you understand it. I haven’t heard any fresh news on Social Security payments.
Pamela had to buy a new washing machine tired of the cheap stuff. So would you get a Maytag? Yeah, we have choices again. The renaissance of Maytag.
Some of the controls still come out of country, but the overwhelming majority is made in the U.S. again, which is… I’ve got one. I like it. I really like the Maytag dishwasher I’ve got.
The washing machine, it’s clear they’ve got a thing or two to learn. Works great, but has a filter that’s a pain in the butt to clean. They could have put in a service door, so just little things as they come back up to speed.
No fresh news on DONG values, Stan. Antique banjo clock from New… Those are so cool. I want to get into collecting old clocks.
That’s something I really would like to do. I like old books and old clocks. I’ve had one or two guys send some old historic books and history books, and I cannot wait to get shelves built to show them off.
Mac, we see you. Yeah, loudspeakers are jarring. Cold in the hot.
You’ve got to appreciate the sense of humor. I love my dishwasher. She gets a little mouthy when I call her that, but oh well.
Let’s see. I have a Hunter’s cuckoo clock from Germany. It’s very cool.
Oh, pink, that is very cool. There’s certain things that I want to search for and find. I want an old school silver set.
If you go back to the 60s, 70s, early 80s, you would have seen in almost every house that nice silver set. I used to get shopped out to polish silver because I polished ours, and I just happened to be good at it. The next thing you know, the neighbors were asking my mother, hey, who polished your silver? Oh, he did.
Tidy little side business as a kid, polishing silver for neighbors. That is something that I wish I would have bought way back when. I used to be able to go find a silver set at every Goodwill, every garage sale.
There was another silver set. I would love to have an old silver set. Silver set, some clocks, some cuckoo clocks, and old books.
I think those are going to be my favorite things to collect as far as household stuff. Of course, I love old tools and cars. That doesn’t count.
That’s just necessary. You’ll find those on the auctions. I’ve just got to go check out real estate auctions and stuff.
Definitely. Eugene Bowling, a little bit about the I’m, the I’m what? The I’m… Yeah, you’d have to finish that sentence in something that was understandable. Fluffy Puff, I have some silver plates that I just think is really cool.
A lot of them are silver plated now. I would settle for silver plated, but I really want the… Debra, I don’t know where you get silver paste now. It’s been too long.
Reading some of these. Old woman, they have a loudspeaker for Muslims to pray downtown Minneapolis. I get myself in trouble on that one.
I do have a number of Muslim friends, but I do not consider fundamentalism or… Maybe that’s not the word. Even many of my Muslim friends from around the world say, you’re okay for a Christian, you’re okay for an American, but they want the rest of them to die. This isn’t all, but this is a thought process that is way too prevalent.
And it would be just as scary if it were a, you know, over the top, primitive, religious, whatever that wanted to lock everybody up and puritist this and that. They don’t really study their Bibles. It’s just not compatible with Western civilization.
It just didn’t. And you’ve got to understand that. There is no room for Sharia law inside the United States.
Period. I know. I just made a lot of people upset.
It should not be allowed. It should be absolutely… As a matter of fact, I do believe it was outlawed in 1952 or 54. I’d see if I can dig that one up for you.
There is no… It does not work with Western. So it undermines the legal system we have. Is that the new one? I’m definitely not.
The first Z came to the US in the early 1500s from the border of French and Germany, depending on what time period we would have either landed in what was called France or what was landed in Germany. Totally depends on what point in history. You go back, you go back.
If our study of history is correct, we go back to the serfs from when they first were released and were allowed to take names. There was a Saint Servatius there, and that’s where we found a name. But we were commoners.
The working class. J. Floor. Don’t you remember when this was different? Made in America is a crap shoot, unfortunately.
I want quality. That’s what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to make America quality again.
And there are many companies that make top-notch products. There are a lot of things that you can buy much cheaper from China, tools especially. We still make things far better.
We just, or can. We don’t always do. We should, though.
Haven’t heard any fresh updates on rates on the currencies, guys. Nothing we haven’t already talked about earlier in the week. Cagirl just said, hired these through Amazon’s good silver wash or paste.
Hey, these things are important. Spirits pen. I’m from a line of Prussians when it existed.
Boy, history is fascinating, isn’t it? Pamela, shout out. Good to see you. You know what’s going to happen one day, big cat.
Just keep getting healthier. All right, Booger, go get to it. I can.
I can moderate back and forth, although it’s already overtime. We need to just call it a wrap. Remember, tonight I will do news early at 630.
Then we will go over to Mr. Otto on red light, how it works, et cetera. And there’s a good chance that that conversation will go to rumble and kick only and leave YouTube and Twitch. If I believe there is any chance of us discussing things that my biggest sponsor for YouTube is pharmaceutical companies, biggest dollars.
So if you say anything that upsets their their lords, their rulers, their dollars, their pocketbook, you get removed and you never know what it is that upsets them. It doesn’t seem to be logical. Doesn’t matter how many studies you put in front of them.
They just developed their own set of rules. I’ve sometimes been successful when they’ve given me strikes by saying, hey, this is what we discussed. Here was the study.
And they’re like, oh, yep, you’re right. And other times they won’t even respond. No matter how many studies you give them and what you discussed.
Heck, early in the COVID days, I had a at a virologist from Duke on talking about COVID. And I got removed because I was spreading medical misinformation. I wasn’t.
One of the top three or four virologists in the world was spreading medical misinformation, according to them, because it did not fit. He was making the case for what we learned over 100 years of germ theory and natural immunity. Gone.
Boom. Yeah, they gave me two strikes for that one, which was kind of weird. Spent a couple weeks off.
Did you get a strike talking? I did not get a strike talking about tartar sauce. I lucked up. It’s nasty, though.
All right, folks, I’m getting out of here. Much appreciation to all of you. Sing.
We got Papa, Papa Dan, Subvet, Arts, X, Coleus, Broncos, Freak, Randy, 47, Curious Mind. Anybody else sound off? So they tell me it’s your birthday. Well, happy birthday, darling.
May you live. May you love me. All your dreams come true.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, Deborah. Rudy’s wife. Tell her I said happy birthday to Miss Cantu and to the rest of you folks.
Well, then. See you at 630.
