such is 10 times worse many dead cars abandoned everywhere fires are not contained and VAR out of control need prayers no you do um South Africa is sending firefighters Canada are are sending the planes that dip into the ocean scoop water drop on um Biden finally late yesterday I believe it was finally activated military resources for this one another great example of how we do not handle things well anymore government has just become inept um by the time they finally make a decision things are usually miserable
and instead of acting with conviction they don’t half measures too many half measures they always I don’t know about you guys when I know I need to make a decision and I don’t or make a half measure I’m like ah I probably should do it this way and I don’t it has always bitten me in the ass um just like the whole let’s hey let’s defund first uh responders great idea when you don’t have a plan then nobody’s there defund the police departments crime skyrockets defund fire departments neighborhoods
burned you have to think through is there waste there could be waste could be better ways to spend it but you need to identify it before you just cut it on that end now govern most the government I’d say you know just cut it but First Responders no you got to think they are your Lifeline did you also see Biden told FEMA to cover 100% of the damages no I didn’t see that one they don’t have the money they spent it on all of the undocumented visitors is that politically correct can I get away with
that am I gonna get cancelled for that ohh dear Jesus um all right $20 million cut from La fire department yeah let’s have a little bit of fun here leaked memo exposes incompetent LA mayor Karen bass 49 million fire department budget cut demand just one week before the wildfires erupted plan would shut down 16 fire stations they would spread the 750 firefighters between other districts now these are already overworked people they’ve already made so many cuts to the paramedics and the fire department in
the LA area because well and they were very upfront they even gave them memos and such saying you know we need more money to address our homeless issue so we’re going to have to take it from you all they have like 200 more paramedics that are uh looking at leaving roughly half their paramedics because they’re overworked and long hours that many quit you know majority of the rest are going to quit it’s yeah 25 one 25 year old 25-year veteran firefighter described the situation as untenable citing
chronic underst Staffing outdate equipment and skyrocketing call volume they did not want this out it’s an internal memo memo not to be dist distributed veter firefighter told Daily Mail yep we have it right here leite memo reveals Karen bass demanded the fire department cut 48.8 million from their budget just days before the fires broke out guys they are parking fire trucks they’re like picking the ones in the worst shape so that they can pillage them for parts to keep the other ones running and then we read the
thing what year and a half ago where they sent a bunch of their to the Ukraine I don’t have all the facts I don’t have all the details and I know just screaming blame doesn’t fix things but sometimes you got to scream it so people get upset and find the problem and fix it that’s what we’re doing right here we hope to be constructive yeah art isn’t it funny it’s crazy how they decided they wanted to shut many of them down right before it happened it’s funny how they had an empty Reservoir in a key area it’s funny
oh well I mean even even in this article firefighters talk about how they have not been able to test in some time because of budget cuts staff Cuts they have not had the Manpower because they’re answering nearly twice the volume they used to because they have fewer Crews they didn’t have the manpower to test over the past couple years they’ve not had the manpower to test the fire hydrants some of them they’ve tested most haven’t guess what happened they went to show up to put out fires and fire hydrants didn’t
work I mean pick it is it all Nome is it part Karen bass is it part is it part all of them is part of the mindset it’s part of the thinking process they smelt fine right Kevin H all right anyways squeaky Wills get the oil I guess we just got to be [Music] squeakier uh what’s your thoughts on Obama and Trump laughing together at the funeral I’m guessing one of them told a funny Joe Biden joke because that’s the one thing that Obama and Trump have in common they both think Obama excuse me Biden is absolutely an incompetent idiot
that’s one thing that they I didn’t say it they said it all right 13 after sorry about that let’s get to news it is uh a little interesting I don’t know if we have any runaway news U we do have a lot of eyes on from a couple of groups now on Sunday because of the Parliamentary um session on Sunday they’ve announced they will be embracing or tackling some of the very divisive laws they’ve been putting off we know that budget is back on on Sunday for discussion so there is a lot of Hope inside of Iraq proper that we may see
something around that don’t read too much into it guys stay very calm during this one um according to the for oh these uh there are some just interesting stuff out of Iraq on their progress according to forecast the IMF and the World Bank optimism about Iraq’s economic performance in 2025 I shared some similar articles not quite as in depth earlier this week as some of the forecasts are coming out they’re expected at 4% growth after a year in which they shrunk their stock market because the stability is expected to
have its third record year which is interesting because most stock markets around the world they are forecasting a very poor 2025 uh not in Iraq and some of the Middle East so I just thought it was great because it goes into some of the other Count’s growth uh in the region and why is that important because these currencies will be in many of these will be in the same basket as Iraq is changing and going International which I love a common basket last time they were there if we had to do the math the last time they
valued based on their reserves or drawing rights and all those and then you look at today’s math it would it would put the dinar right around four bucks uh High threes low four which is right around the rumors we’re hearing from some of the renegotiated contractors makes me feel warm and fuzzy with a lot of this all right now I found this one this is more of just me wanting to uh poke the bear this has become a reality a demand to stop deductions of salaries of retirees and employees all right a member of the political Bureau
of the Iraqi Communist Party Yer alsaleem on Friday to stop deductions from the salaries of retires employees especially those with lower Middle grades now I get a kick out of this one so we have a member of the commun party saying you have to stop taking their 1% that we want to give away and give it to Pakistan Lebanon those areas they’ come up with a totally voluntary which became totally compuls compulsory and they were taking 1% of these employees pensioners salaries in tax 1% 1% um and redirecting them and deciding
for them I’m just thinking you know if you’re a communist you should be embracing this because everybody chips in and the government’s allowed to tell you everything you can do with your with your money I mean you’re a really bad communist expecting people to get to keep the the the fruit of their own labor and their own work I mean you’re like a really bad communist and I I couldn’t help picking on that one when I read this article listening to this is kind of like you know listening to um a Democrat say we should be free to make
more of our own personal Sovereign choices that the government shouldn’t tax us into Oblivion that the government shouldn’t have the right to tell us what we can and can’t do hey right change parties because you don’t fit where you’re at I couldn’t resist that one guys I know had nothing to do with the RV but I just wanted to uh poke fun back to the RV side of it among them are the budget the intelligence and the minorities learn about the laws list in the parliament session on Sunday this was just me telling you guys hey this is
the plan they talked about it yesterday they verified it a couple of sources verified they would will bring up budget tables on Sunday um so that has me excited that we appear to be off stuck on that front now here’s one I didn’t even know but I’m kind of excited about maybe it tells us something about timing among them is the Iraqi to us Haba I know boy translations don’t work well from Arabic Trump honors supporters of Arab and Muslim Community leaders I had no idea she was did do you guys know
she was in Iraqi I mean did anybody know that uh this exceptionally capable attorney to happen to be fairly I mean okay fine she’s attractive um that uh so valiantly defended Trump has worked so I mean one of his biggest supporters had no idea she was Iraqi PGH did PGH you are probably one of the most knowledgeable ladies I’ve ever met you are on it and I’ve met some very knowledgeable ladies and you were your topnotch um as I say that though you know tell Rick I said hi so he doesn’t like get jealous
or anything just Rick if you’re there great guyh all right on to other things um there is a meeting the leaders from the Arab and Muslim American Community revealed that president-elect Donald Trump and vice president elect Jedi Vance I like how they spell it here it’s uh depending on which publication you read it’s either Jedi or Jetty g d d y will meet with the community leaders in Washington DC two days before the inauguration they’re planning a big sitdown with leaders from the Muslim American community and folks from Iraq
on the 18th could this be like a celebratory dinner could this be a hey look at all the changes we’ve made I don’t know that that that just red to me going they’re planning something big well all right that’s enough on that front I’m going to take down the news banner and say I don’t know we we’ll include this one here I know you guys it’s been making its share but I wanted to include it here number of folks have not seen it uh buddy Carter introduces the bill abolishing the IRS the tax code uh property taxes we’re going to that
flat tax that we have seen with Nera jera we’ve seen the laws for uh being uh proposed for revaluing gold um we’ve seen it for going going back to the gold standard all this is now sitting in Congressional hands ready to pull the trigger this one’s big because this one especially just screams Nera jera then rally on the 19th it could be I’m with you OAS wine tasing IQD to the Moon uh Moon bug Trump knows I believe you are correct all so yeah me I’m loving it did have some long conversations with some
other folks that do deep Dives on this some of them you watch their videos Etc um don’t want to out anybody else in information but we do we are getting we’re getting a lot of information that tells us we could get some big decisions on or around Sunday doesn’t necessarily mean RV uh but could give us some very clear indicators on what to sign if it’s not already a different rate um we’re seeing um government agencies already starting to calculate baskets values of currencies s Str the drawing rights that go along with those
baskets it is it’s getting very interesting right now getting very interesting again or more so than it’s ever been there’s so many mechanisms now that we didn’t have before that would have kept this from going the reorganization of rashed and RAF Banks where they’re looking to peel off uh poor assets create another bank just to put the questionable ones in in case something fails it doesn’t tear down the other two the digital transformation for them to be able to move money from government and foreign the changing of
how the auctions work so that everything is tracked guys this ground workor was not there for them to be able to pull in the currency from the other countries until right now uh I wish I could go back with 2020 Vision I would have had people waiting for about this time in history really excited all right oh Matt freedom for it is although guys they’re they’re coming up with like a whole code for like me or for zester zester has decided we need to have a competition uh with uh Freedom Forge who can sell the most coffee whether they
use his code or my code pretty certain all it’s going to be is like Freedom forge.com markz or for zester something like that I know they probably already have it worked out and just haven’t told me because I’m not the web guy Z zester and Jeremy handle all that uh but I am curious because he thinks he can knock me off and sell more coffee so we’re gonna have a good spirited competition uh any news out of the bond contacts anywhere from here to the 21st actually I’ve got uh one late Comer that said
they are now being told they have their final paperworks and dollars on the 22nd I’ve got them all in between uh right now and then though so I think we’re going to have a crazy busy couple of weeks here guys with a lot of solid good news that makes us feel comfortable hopefully we will see some value changes because we have so many people that are on their last leg uh kwood Danny I mean just so many folks that are just there’s not much push left or pool left there’s not much uh it just it’s getting desperate for so many
folks I know I’m going to miss a lot of your comments let me see if I can catch somebody uh Trad that’s one thing I was hoping to get an update from today out of my contact from Virginia that works okay he helps set up centers and stuff but have not gotten an update Trad uh hopefully I will have one for you first thing in the morning I did have a number of banks expecting them to uh have a workable rate in other words a rate that they can do something with at some point late tomorrow hopefully I can get an
update for you guys for the morning uh Karen no I don’t think the weather delays are I mean the weather’s causing or creating any delays it wouldn’t make sense for a worldwide event to be off because snow in three or four states does that make sense I can’t imagine China Europe um Africa south of Brazil all the countries around the world caring that there is a winter storm hitting some states in the in the uh us I mean it might feel that way to us snowing in La lower Alamance Don I bet it’s snowing in what
the rest of us in the center part of the state call La which is lower Archdale blow High Point lovingly referred to as La uh G clav will support zester loves me more than markn for [Laughter] sure H he’s just less busy than I am which is crazy because he is very busy I’ve just put too much on my plate I’m just can’t keep up with it all I need people to put nothing else on my plate if zester is setting up the competition on the site make sure that he doesn’t pull a Dominion counting scheme on you I demand a recount Daniel
Daniel that is great Dwayne says six and a half inches in Atlanta Timothy I appreciate that oh Charles andow [Laughter] Arcadia I’ll take the blame I’ll take the blame and suffer the pinches oh having fun with it all right let’s uh let’s see do we have anything oh we do have one or two other things we should um hit at least one fun one let’s take this one down uh let’s do you think once we get notifications appointments will start within days or weeks CJ I wouldn’t be surprised for it to start the very next
day depending on what time the announcements come out um generally we have believed that they would give us the announcements most likely on a Sunday and banking would start on Monday that is kind of generally accepted that they have kind of pushed us towards over the years we don’t know for certain but that’s the thought process blazing truth and unfortunately blazing truth Nails the truth you’re right blazing truth I got to get better at no icing in South Carolina Roland we still expect I still
my Bankers still my group leaders they all still expect the dong to go at the same time along with Indonesia all all of them at one time uh Neil originally from lower Archdale which means you’ve had the privilege of eating it S Pizza what else is good down there for food uh there’s some good little diners burgers and hot dog joints right let’s keep going now right know on the palm for a month it would help all right let’s keep going which one do you recommend Hulk uh my two favorites are the samatra and the E
opian there are times where I love the smell of the Colombian and I just I always feel guilty on the expensive side of it so I save the Special Reserve As a treat but like my normal go-tos are either the Valor or the resolve zester’s go-to is the Colombian if I remember what he told me I better I better work on that one don’t tell if I got it wrong don’t tell on me North Carolina snowing with a low of 14 dear Jesus all right let’s get to uh let’s have a little bit of fun we did that one I did nothing wrong inside
Donald Trump’s hush money sentencing I couldn’t resist looking at Vanity Fair and looking at how the mainstream media is spinning this the president-elect maintained Friday that he was treated very very unfairly denying charges in Bitter End he’ll while he’ll avoid fines in jails Tom Trump will still take office as a convicted felon uh so Vanity Fair uh the right always screams about law fair they don’t want anything the left is very fair and Trump is a convicted felon that is their message for you
coming out of mainstream media nothing else matters I told you guys they just wanted to be able to say it it’s somehow meant something to them that they get to use the phrasing Appeals is going to kill it uh merchin just his life’s not going to be great um because he did participate in my opinion uh participated in some serious lawfare uh some questionable contacts some questionable meetings hopefully it all comes out because one thing we need is the legal system to work fairly and honestly and it has not been for some
time uh Colleen said zester said it depended on how he feels and kind of the same way for me when it comes to Coffee certain days you’re in the mood for this certain days you’re in the mood for Savory richer uh a little more pep I know I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it I still do keep some of the uh guru’s mushroom coffee around because it’s good stuff and it’s healthier but come on I’m gonna have more than one cup a day why not switch it up have a little variety uh Jeff that’s right America’s oldest brewery in the US and Pottsville
Pennsylvania a Yingling Yingling why does Ernie never get served ice cream because he always answers sure Bert Friday you guys are on your own on that one I’ve got a maybe 30 minutes more to go and then I get to uh call it a night and I’m really excited about it I am worn out let me some brothers eser goes see it’s horribly unfair to me I feel like I’m being ganged up on and he started early I don’t even know what my code is I don’t even know what link to give you I don’t have any of that so he’s getting a head
start Michael says I’m that way with Scotch just just bring it see zester site already Works was not planning on watching any football Sharon at least not right now see right sstone I think I think there’s probably some series like uh smartmatic or Dominion style questionable things going here I want to be surprised to see a big dump come out of I don’t know what Michigan or Detroit or wherever the big dump was in the middle of the night at 3:00 suddenly he’ll start you know getting just enough credit to pop back
on top I mean crazier things have happened I mean Joe Biden got 81 million V uh Charles we talked about that this morning if you want more details go back to this morning Maliki trying to whip up problems government keep showing them hey here’s the accounts here’s the transfers we’re sending you money they got to distribute it what’s the truth he’s already contacted hotels and restaurants to carry see I’m not surprised guys I’m not surprised sstone uh Ras mataz I know nothing about uh Nera razmataz I will reach out to Dr Scott uh
