Coffee with MarkZ. 02/10/2025

Hello, all. Good morning. Hello, Grandma Evie.

Hello, Trish getting a farm. Hello, Daily Word. Hello, Tony, Rexy, Busted, Gypsy, Vegas.

Hello, Michael and Matt. It’s ripping out. Hello, Spongebob, Waco, Russ, the pilot, Jay and Amy, always a pleasure, Pam and Dennis.

Hello, all McCaffeys. Here’s that yellow pony again. Hello, new Envys and Anna.

Why do you guys feel adrift? It has been one of the most fruitful, amazing weekends. Not the best, because the best will be when we get the notice, but it’s been a great weekend. Why is everybody losing hope this weekend? I saw like, oh, dear Jesus, you guys went a little crazy on emails again.

That’s okay. I just erased a few hundred of them. It’s the weekend.

Stop. Hello, Mary. Hello, Wendy.

Jasmine’s 22nd. Happy birthday to Jasmine. Hello, Matthew.

Matthew says, Texas snakes, we could very well see appointments today. Matthew, I am hearing that. I think he’s probably two to three days premature, but not far off.

Miss Janie, I appreciate that one. Hello, Nutter Butter. Hello, Young at Heart.

I mean, it is heating up and heating up quickly. Roberto, I wish I knew what to tell you on this one. To me, the Iranian real, it’s like one day I think it will, one day I think it won’t at the same time.

If it doesn’t at the same time, it’s going to create one tremendous opportunity for us. So low key, kind of hoping it doesn’t yet, but at the same time, I’m hoping you folks are a little more. What’s the word I’m looking for that you’re, you don’t have all your eggs in just one basket.

Hello, Maverick. Don’t rule the day out. Hello, Marcy.

Yeah, I was looking forward to some Elon ads too, but I just couldn’t find anything to support the notion other than social media seemed to think it was going to happen. Nothing from him. Hello, Gerald.

Hello, Kathy. We got so many Kathys in here. No, I’ve not seen anything that Elon and Sherry, you probably have to make certain it’s not like Elon Musk parody or something like that.

It’s probably not Elon Musk doing a tweet about me, but I’d be curious. There are a lot of Elon Musk knockoffs on Twitter. Ursula, thank you.

Love you guys. From the rednecks in Texas. Well, from the rednecks in, let’s see, I don’t even know where I identify now as.

Originally a redneck from Pennsylvania, transplanted to North Carolina, visited much of the world and now firmly entrenched in Puerto Rico. I take my country with me. Jill, unfortunately most are so many parody accounts out there.

Dawn, there has been a lot. You’ve just got to use critical thinking. You have to think and it will be very easy to negotiate.

What makes sense? What did you get out of the Superbowl Eagles, Buick Grand National and Samuel Jackson is Uncle Sam. Tony, it was a little bit of a strange halftime show, but compared to the last number of years that had to be the most sane, normal feeling halftime show in probably five years. I don’t know if it’s been that long, but they have been so absolutely bizarre.

This one was almost refreshing and how bizarre it wasn’t. Was it perfect? Heck no. There were still some things that I found questionable about it, but nothing as bad as the last few years.

I did notice them getting out of the Buick Grand National. Of course, they should be punished for cutting a hole in the bottom of it. Did you see how they had it on that little metal stand-up thing so that all the dancers could still come from underneath up and out and through it? It seemed like a crime against humanity to modify a Buick Grand National that way.

Dark to light the entire game is what Sanantha said. Oh boy, I’m forgetting these things. Did you know a 2024 study found collagen supplements can boost skin hydration by 14%, improve elasticity by 23%, reduce wrinkles by 20% in just 12 weeks.

This is your sign to use collagen to transform your skin from the inside out. But unfortunately, most collagen typically found on store shelves is filled with junk. So I’ve been using this amazing product in the past few years.

I’m obsessed with the results. Unlike other collagen supplements, this collagen uses the top five types of collagen for skin health. This premium collagen blend works together to help reduce visible signs of aging, reduce wrinkles, promote healthy glow, youthful glow, promote elasticity, promote skin hydration.

Just mix it in with a morning coffee or a shake for me. It handles the rest. Try it yourself and start healing your skin.

What’d you guys think? Sound off. It was codes for the cheap on the land. I enjoyed it.

They were giving out codes. The Crip Walk was codes. Oh, wow.

Canada has wiped their entire database of foreign aid spending. Trumpified governments around the world because of the Doge movement are collectively filling their depends. Trying to keep up with you guys.

Y’all are ripping. Good morning, Mark. My wife and I have a meeting with PFS Bank in North Carolina today.

They called last week and asked if we’d come in today. Hey, just find out what they’re going to talk about. Don’t even shake them down.

Oh, my. The lyrics have not liked us. I don’t know who FNU LNU is, but I have not heard that.

Can I tell you the collective pure panic that so many people sent? I’m glad I ignored most of the emails. I’ve not heard that from anybody to support it. Doesn’t mean it’s not true.

Just one that I went to vet and could absolutely not in any way vet it because nobody agreed with it. Doesn’t mean it’s not right and they don’t have a great source, but it is not what any of mine said was accurate. Happy third birthday to your twin granddaughters, Aria and Alia.

Oh, you know how much I love celebrating for twins. As a twin myself, Penny saw a positive halftime show review. It was very patriotic.

It was I don’t want to read too much into it, but it did feel like sanity was returning. I mean, even in the advertisements, for the most part, sanity seemed to be returning to humanity yesterday. I don’t know if I was just reading too much into it because I was really looking to be ticked off and go, oh my God, I can’t believe this still, I mean, but it was different.

Lil Barb couldn’t understand what Lamar was saying, but looked it up and think it got a younger generation thinking and digging. Lil Barb, I think it did too. I was pleasantly surprised, pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, when I first saw them coming out in the red, I was like, oh my God, not again. But then when they did the one, they put all the blue in the one corner and they rotated the red and white. They were supposed to be patriotic.

They were doing blue, red and white, and they were doing the shape of the flag. If you study the lyrics, they were talking about taking it back over. It was almost like comms.

Which one it must be, I’m always talking to myself and getting answers. PTA, I like the way you just said that. If you did not understand the lyrics, you were not the target audience.

Makes a strange amount of sense. Peacefinder, thank you, very kind. Flight level, spot gold above 2,900.

Oh man, it’s just ripping, guys. If you haven’t been paying attention, let me get an update on this one. Then we’re going to get rolling towards news, but we do need to do this one because you can see what is going on in the markets.

Waiting for it to update. Even Miles Franklin’s taking longer. Boom, there you go.

Gold at 2,914. We’re hitting historic levels. Silver at 3,235.

Silver, finally, which has been lagging, starting to play the catch-up game. Anna Liberated, nobody knows the timing for certain, so I can’t confirm with absolute concrete whatever that this couldn’t take a few more months. If you’re asking me if any part of me thinks it’s going to take a few more months, no.

We will start by hitting the news time. I have contacts that are physically working in some of these locations. They started over the weekend.

A couple of group contacts that are steadily working. They are dusting off old paperwork, going through, just doing some double checks because they have not been back out there in force in some time. Going through, I’m hearing the same thing from bonds.

I am also hearing from a few, like three bond sources that they are in place and expecting things to start today. Over the next two days, they are expecting their bonds funded, which to me is really exciting. I’ve talked to a couple of groups that said, hey, look, we are pounding away and working hard.

We expect free release of the, we’re talking like 4A, the aggregated funds this week too. If any of it holds up right now, I’m so stinking excited, but we need it to actually come to fruition. The number of contacts that are physically in locations around the world right now, when I say that I don’t have a, I don’t have an in-person in Asia right now that is checked in, but I have people from Europe and people here in the U.S. West Coast area.

They say they’ve been working and updating and I just gave you their expectations, which has me pretty stinking excited. Not heard anything on CMKX or farm claims or prosperity though. That is something I was hoping to have an update for.

I just have not gotten one over the weekend. The number of groups though and bond folks checking in has been awfully fun right now. Bond, bond, many governments are doing just that.

Charlie Ward said in his channel that England’s doing the DOJ investigation too or similar. Yeah, we’re seeing that all over right now. You guys are just ripping at a million miles an hour.

I’ll try to keep up, but let’s get to Iraq right now. Parliamentary finance, no new appointments in the 2025 budget. What does that mean? There are probably a dozen articles this morning and yesterday on just this subject.

Sudani and crew are pledging they will take on nothing new, no new appointments, no new projects, no new anything until they settle article 12 and finish this thing. The cost of removing the oil so that herbal and HCL can be finished. This is their absolute top priority.

Everything else is getting pushed to the back burner while they finish this one. Part of that is just reasons like this. Iraqi’s revenue exceeds $135 trillion.

A warning against dependence on oil that would have been over $150 million, meaning no budget shortfall if they would have had the herbal region up and running properly. And the warning is just, hey, look, 87% of our revenue comes from oil directly, not a refined product, but just the raw resource that they need to get to refine products, manufacturing, and more agricultural, et cetera, just to improve the stability of the NAR. We’ve got a good one on that one coming up too this morning.

General Secretary of the Council of Ministers stopping cash collection in state institutions at the end of June. This is all part of that transformation that is going on in Iraq. They will no longer be taking physical cash.

You will have to go and pay in a way that can be tracked completely, whether that is an electronic payment or let’s say a cashier check or whatever. They have to be able to track every payment at every level of their governments to root out the corruption in government where they, hey, look, yeah, no, they paid it and then nobody can find the money because it’s sitting in somebody’s pocket. So they’re going to all electronic.

There’s some fun ones here this morning. Ministry of Planning says February 24th is the date pronouncing the final result of population census. We know the overall numbers.

Now we’re going to find out how many of what age, what age brackets, demographics, locations in the country, et cetera. I don’t know why I had that one here. That should have been the last thing I had covered this morning.

Here’s your fun or one of your fun ones. The dollar stabilizes in the parallel market is the price craze over. Things have tightened up.

The dinar has gained over the dollar showing stability after the changes that they put into place on the foreign currency auctions. They are very upbeat right now at the CBI and parliament. We look at a combination of, let’s say, this article and of course, not that one, but the moving of article 12.

So then they get that revenues and they are spelling out a very solid picture for us that are looking for a change of value. Some of the key things we were told to look for, stability, herbal. Those two things are stability and herbal.

So those are really solid ones for us. Get bent. This is one I’ve explained so many times.

No, they don’t have to have a new rate before those national bonds. Those bonds that they are selling are denominated in dinar. So they don’t have to have a new rate yet because they’re already denominated in dinar.

It does mean that those bonds could be tremendous opportunities for whoever buys them. Can you imagine spending $800, $900 on a bond and it’s returning, what, 8% interest, I think it is, per annum. And suddenly that bond is worth, instead of $800 roughly, which is a million dinar, suddenly it’s worth, say, $4 million or $1 million.

And you’re earning 8%. I mean, the opportunities in those bonds is enormous in my book. U.S. pressure for merger, restructuring, the future of the PMF.

Where to? Urgent. We’re talking about the, what do they call them, the popular mobilization forces and rolling them into the government, Iraq, saying, hey, they’re already part of what we consider our military. We don’t have to make it any more formal than that.

The U.S. is saying, no, we got to make it more formal than that because you have some of them that go rogue. So you need to make certain you have control. So this one is just the U.S. making certain that Iraq is sovereign and has control over all of their territories.

A little point of contention, but they seem to be working through it. Iraq’s made a tremendous amount of progress on that subject. And it is a very, very, very, kind of like a hot potato in Iraqi politics, so that they’ve been making this much progress is a good thing.

All right, let’s take the Newstime banner off for a moment, check in with Yin’s guys. It’s already done. I asked you last week, Sudani is far less corrupt than any leader they’ve had.

Do I think he’s corrupt? No, I don’t. Are there some that do? It’s politics. It’s Ford, Chevy.

It’s blue, red. It’s all of those things. They have been paying the salaries.

Your problem is the money’s not been coming from the herbal, from the KRG. This is like, they’re so easy to track this one. I don’t think we’ve shared anything less than probably 1,200 articles on it for folks to read, but they keep asking me the question.

That is just no. How do you put this one? KRG has not been sending money to the federal government. Federal government is paying those directly, but it was supposed to be coming from the KRG directly to the people.

I’m just going to start screaming and throwing things at the computer, not at you, just at the sheer amount of BS on the subject that is out there right now. It’s overwhelming. Follow it.

We’ve shared it over and over and over to the point of ad nauseum. I’m reading those. KRG, they say they’re moving the oil now.

Of course, they were moving it. The question is, are they going to start moving as much as they can, and are the revenues coming to Baghdad? Joe, I have not heard any updates on rumors on rates. I’m still hearing the exact same things that we shared last week.

Dan, it’ll be interesting to find out what your contact at Wells Fargo has to say. I have met some that are fairly well up the line that know nothing. I have met some that are fairly well up the line that know a tremendous amount.

Just keep in mind, it does appear that it’s very much a need to know and where you’re at in that process. Trying to keep up with you guys. Sure thought yes, no, no part of me, pal.

Patriot are in no part of me thought we were getting announcement on Super Bowl at all. I was pretty unpopular last week for saying that. Oh, somebody just said Goldilocks says the Dong’s higher than the Denar.

I guess it’s possible. I would be tremendously surprised. Wendy Hillhemp, we are not.

It is for Iraqi citizens only on the new Iraqi bonds. If that changes, I have a contact in the finance ministry that will let us know. In other words, if it does, I will be sharing a link where you’ll be able to buy online if it occurs.

You can’t harass me and get it out of me early saying, oh, I want that link because it doesn’t exist yet. Mm. Reading some of the.

Let’s see, an account from Venezuela told me 580 grand for two million dollar notes. Depends on which notes and all those. We are seeing some extreme differences in worth on Bolivar right now.

It is so chaotic that I’m just keeping an eye on it, not getting excited one way or the other. Reading, reading. Bill, what does it mean? No tax on Social Security.

It means your Social Security income is not taxable. It means exactly what it says. Let’s say that you get Social Security and you still work part time.

Maybe you’re the greeter at Walmart. I just picked that because, you know, we keep hearing about older people getting jobs greeting at Walmart or that was a thing in the past. And you make a little bit too much and they want to tax your income.

Trump is saying that your Social Security income is non-taxable. It doesn’t show up as income, period, so that they can’t doing an additional income tax on it. That’s just what it means.

It means exactly what he said it means. No income tax on your Social Security income. Jay Branch, I wish I could tell you with absolute certainty, are Argo checks, Agro checks, excuse me, not Argo, but Agro checks real or a myth? I have two extremely high power people and they swear they are real.

And I have great faith because I know some, I know the circles they run in. I know the deals they’ve put together. So for me, because they don’t cost much, it was worth the roll of dice.

That’s how I looked at it for me. Everybody else has got to make your own grownup decisions, consult a specialist if one exists out there or whatever. I think they’re real because they think they’re real and they have a level of no that I do not have.

SSDI, that’s William, that’s another one that Trump said. SSDI, Social Security and those benefits and disability said should not be taxed and will not be taxed. UK and KMA, how do I answer that one? If no tax on Social Security, then we’ll no longer be penalized for earning extra.

That would be correct. But you would still have to pay income tax on all that you earned above Social Security. As if your Social Security didn’t exist, you’re still getting it.

Don’t panic. But then you would just fall in like any person in taxes, just like the, you know, 18 year old kid working down at the mall and the peanut shack or whatever. Bill said, I have 350 taken out my Social Security each month for withholding.

Nice not to have it gone. Oh, I bet. Big difference.

I’ve not heard anything on the Josh Shapiro and the happenings of Butler on 713 of the people. Yeah, I don’t think it’ll change on pensions. He was referring to Social Security only.

Trying to keep up with these because you guys are ripping. I’ve never been more upbeat about it, and I see so many people getting ready to jump off bridges, and I don’t understand it at all. Yeah, the question is after, and we talked about that last week, Greg, the Trump sanctions and Iranian currency to the biggest collapse in 46 years.

That could just be the storm before the break or the whatever you want to call it. Seems the darkest before the dawn. Kevin Torres, thank you, sir, for that.

Very kind. Amy, drilling has already started. We shared a really fun little piece from I think it was Oil Price Digest last week on just that, how they are already seeing it starting with investment in equipment for drill over rigs or hydro fracking machines to go in and rejuvenate older wells.

Investment, training, bringing on teams that had been forload or laid off to come back to work to start developing more of their drilling sites. There was a lovely piece. Keep in mind that the process for getting permits for new wells takes months and months and months and months.

They have shortened those things so that we are seeing that much activity after, what are we talking, guys, 20 days, 30 days, let’s see, 10, 20 days. I thought actually we’re what, 21 days right now. It is astounding, and they made point of that or note of that in the Oil Price Index article.

You’re already seeing it. Sherry, I was told that all Bolivar are good. It will depend on the value based on the year because certain years represent more zeros than others.

Maverick works in the gas field. What are you seeing different, Maverick? Uncle and I used to, what’s the word I’m looking for here, refurb old drilling equipment and stuff like that and help people with finding somebody to develop their natural gas rights or oil rights or coal rights. I still have a lot of contacts in the industry.

Let’s see. Somebody had said I’m not a fan of fracking. Hydro fracking I’m not a really big fan of.

I don’t mind when they do the hot water frack because all they’re doing is melting the paraffin, something that we used to do in the Pennsylvania area. I kind of like the old school fracking where they dropped in the explosive charge of shot just to crack some of the surrounding rock for 10, 15, 20 feet just to allow more surface area to fill the well. I have very mixed takes like that on the hydro fracking.

There are some neat things where it comes back in and the system that Texas A&M put together to clean the frack water so that it didn’t do just that, poison water wells, etc. Really neat concept that they put together. I’m trying to keep up with you all.

I do not believe all coins will be gone. Here’s a good one for you. Chris said I’m in the oil and gas business and we’re definitely getting busy.

Thanks for checking in, Chris. My boyfriend or best friend has worked in the petroleum fracking industry. They’ve been calling him asking him to come back to work.

I have so many that they’re trying, which when I look at the age of some of my uncle and I’s friends in the industry and they’re trying to get him to come back to work, I mean these old coots need to be retired, but the level of no that they have in their heads is unreal. I live here in the middle of Andarco base in Oklahoma. The answer to Amy’s question is yes, the drilling has started.

Thank you for checking in for those that are in the industry and in the areas. It’d be nice to see him. I am with you, Todd.

Need to restart the Keystone. Taylor Swift getting booed last night. Nobody even noticing when Kamala Harris went to the Lakers game with her husband.

I mean nobody, I think one person reached up a hand to shake and she walked by row after row after row and nobody even looked at her or looked at her and then went back to watching the game. Dizzy Kitty, you just have to know the Lord has it. I know that’s a tough thing to say, but it’s an exercise in faith.

1. Allen, I have a family members in the mining equipment business and they’re doing exceptionally well right now as well. New trucks class eight aren’t selling. What do you mean by I should know this, but I don’t.

I have to look that one up. All right, it’s ripping. Philly fans really turned out.

Susan, we don’t know, but I rather suspect you will very much be able to discuss the RV before we go. My last number of contacts with bank or folks in wealth management that should be, they are of the mindset also that there will not be an NDA unless you are doing a humanitarian project where you’re getting extra funds and then I am told that is only on that project in the amount of funding that’s been provided and I hope that’s accurate, although I wish they would put in a big NDA to scare everybody into staying quiet so you don’t screw yourselves. Infidel, I’m trying to be nice.

I’m just trying to read and keep up with you guys. Yeah, buddy. Boy, I tell you, buddy, this is a great observation, sir.

Don’t you love how they all say Musk wasn’t elected and shouldn’t be there, but they were fine with an unelected Kamala exactly. She was never elected to even run for president. She didn’t make it through the primaries.

Friends, I still believe contract rates are in play. I don’t think there will be much of a contract rate difference on any currency other than NAR, but I do think that NAR will carry a sizable increase under a contract rate. I think the difference in the rest of currencies will be four or 5% because they have prearranged all the fees, et cetera, for exchange, but when you’re talking about millions of dollars, four and 5% is enormous.

Jay, I’m very much still in that mindset, and hopefully nothing knocks me off that one because it feels great. Kathy, it is possible for the NAR to go low like that. It’s possible it could go 40 cents.

It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s possible, just like it’s possible that a missing planet could wrap around the sun and collide with us and we’re all dead next week, but I don’t think it’s possible. It doesn’t fix all their problems. It doesn’t fix what they said they want.

They want to return it to its former glory to make it once again the most valuable currency in the world, and $1.50 doesn’t achieve it, so to me, it doesn’t make much sense. I’m not certain I understand. To your knowledge, could environmental or wildlife purification be humanitarian? It still benefits.

Give me an example or two, but if I understand what I think you’re saying, yes, it could very much count as humanitarian. The mushroom coffee that I drink is from the CBD Gurus when I drink it. If not, I’m drinking Freedom Forge coffee.

Presently, right now, I am having Sumatra. People want to quit because we’re stringing ourselves on, Nick. We don’t know the timing, and if you’ve come to grips with it, we don’t know the timing.

It gets easier. It’s not easy to come to grips with it. Trust me.

I know I’ve been there, too. I rode the roller coaster over and over and over and over and over. You finally get to the point where, I guess when you’ve been at it long enough, where you’re like, I know this is going to happen.

I’ve seen all the indicators. I’ve studied the history. I just don’t know the timing, and then it’s almost like a sense of peace descends upon you.

Unfortunately, when you’re desperate, you’re losing your house. You can’t afford your medicine. You can’t afford to eat.

It feels different. I know I’ve been there, too, and it sucks. Trip Jeep, what would keep Iraq from doing a revaluation? That same scenario.

The only way Iraq is not going to revalue is if somebody drops rods of gods from heaven above and removes it from the face of the earth, or if suddenly the sun implodes and swallows us. Otherwise, Iraq is going to revalue, which means Iraq’s going to revalue. Jorge, I appreciate your brother, Jorge.

Noel, being broke makes you very creative. It does. I guess one of the bonuses is most of us here, we’ve had a lot of practice on stretching it, making ends meet, and all those things.

If there’s any kind of economic apocalypse before an RV, we are uniquely suited to survive it, unlike our counterparts, our globalist counterparts. As a native-born Californian, I’ll say that in an honest presidential election, the rest of America will never elect a California politician. Brian, I think you’re accurate.

Maverick, somebody in the industry, Halliburton, does most of the fracking in our area. They’re getting crazy busy again, and two crews going to Iraq. Maverick, that would make sense as they are trying to rejuvenate the Kirkuk fields.

Chaos to harmony, yes, but everyone was saying it will go when Trump gets in, and it very much appears that they were correct, and that things have gotten off stuck. I know that I have people that have been pretty much mothballed for the last four or five years that are now running to positions and working, and have been now. Some of them started literally on the day of the inauguration, on the 20th, and I had a number, one of my best contacts get called back for the first time in roughly three and a half years or so, end of last week, and had to be there immediately.

He says he’s been extremely busy, that they have been steadily working now, and they are very hopeful that this could be the week. For me, yeah, no, you’re right. I think we’re waiting for Trump to get in.

I hate I misread that. I’ll agree with this one. I’ve met too many people from California that disagree with the crazy California politics.

Of course, I tend to surround myself with people from rural areas, so it tends to make sense that I would hear kind of like an echo box. Trying to keep up with you guys. Y’all are on a rip.

Jeffrey, when they call back the seismic survey crews for the Gulf of America, that’s when you know the industry is back. Makes sense to me. Let’s do it.

Suzanne, Trump’s definitely behind the Iraq revaluation. Why do you think we’ve had a whole floor in the CBI building? I mean, they’re working directly. They’re pushing.

You’re seeing them. They’re like, hey, the U.S., where is it? I’m going to try to find it. Somewhere in here, we just had one where the U.S. is pushing to make things, U.S. pressure for merger and restructuring, PMF, U.S. pressure to get Article 3 herbal done, U.S. pressure to stabilize the dinar, U.S. pressure to remove dependence on Iranian natural gas for energy and electricity to the point where I am being told, and I forgot to mention this one earlier, that under the directions of Donald Trump with some larger energy producing companies and CEOs that he reached directly out to ownership of companies and CEOs and said, hey, I need you in Iraq now.

We need to move this forward. So I am being told from somebody in Iraq that works that they are starting to get a tremendous amount of support to remove any need for Iran in natural gas and electricity that they are taking what should have taken years, and they plan on doing it within months or a year. So for me, yeah, since he has taken office, I have seen fantastic progress.

Seat jockey, I’m trying to catch up to you, brother. I had a loan through Wells Fargo on Friday. It was gone.

That’s pretty cool. I love it. I am near Sacramento, California.

It’s only blue because of rigging. It wouldn’t surprise me based on my experiences who I’ve talked to I mean, excuse me, California. Trip Jeep, they say Trump has billions of dinar.

Yes. If I remember, it was somewhere around 17 million US dollars. I believe, what, 14 to 17 million US dollars he spent buying the currency.

And he would have been buying it at the time when it was 700 and some US dollars per million. So all you got to do is do the math. It probably is in the billions.

Janna, I have explained it probably two dozen times over the last five years, but I’ve never done like, haven’t done it recently. I do kind of like the sound of Gulf of America, and it makes sense. I mean, North America, Central America, South America, it’s the Gulf of America.

And most of it’s in the United States, what we call the United States of America. And part of it touches Mexican soil. But one thing that Mexico is, it’s part of North America.

Utah, I continue to believe that it’s somewhere around two and a quarter. I keep being told that I am way under. I’ve seen rates as low as about, what, 47 cents, I think.

I’ve seen rates as high as 390. I don’t know what to tell you other than I feel pretty confident it’ll probably be over $2. Most of my sources think it’s going to be closer to the $4 range now.

I hope they’re right. I would love to be wrong on that one. See, Bank of America started freezing the bank accounts of Trump supporters for selling a Gulf of America t-shirt.

Boy, that backlash is not going to go well for them. Jessie Girl, my house taxes went up from 8K to now 2K. Yeah, that seems backwards.

I’ll let you correct that one. Doris, I was told the contract rate would apply for any country that participated and dedicated physical men to the liberation of Iraq when they removed Saddam Hussein. So if your country gave direct, in other words, sent troops, then I am told.

So if you’re in the UK, if you’re in France, if you’re in Canada, then that counts. You’re in China, it doesn’t count. Oh, wow, Bob, that’s a long run.

Melinda, yeah, I was totally safe under tsunami warnings, but I’m also on the north side. And where was that? I wasn’t going to get hit anyways. But a lot of people worried, and I appreciate the concern, folks.

All right, Trump says he’ll impose a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum on Monday. This article was written yesterday, and it appears he is doing just that. He’s trying to protect the metals industry so that we do not lose more warehouses, excuse me, factories, foundries, etc.

It is absolutely key to our safety, our sovereignty, our stability and security. And it is nice to have a president that understands this, and he makes some very good points. When he said that, here’s probably my favorite, in referring to some other countries.

If they’re charging us 130%, and we’re charging them nothing, it’s not going to stay that way, he told reporters. Reciprocal tariffs. This is where, when I see everybody from Mexico and Canada getting all up in a huff, you clearly have not studied or read the tariffs.

If you had, you would understand his comments. We had an extremely lopsided tariff relationship that needed fixed. After decades of poor leadership in our country, it needed fixed.

He has been fixing it. Don’t take it personally. It’s not about you.

I have had a lot of upset people telling me that it seems crazy and punitive. Study the tariffs. You will be embarrassed.

Just wanted to add that one. And I love this. And he is so dead on correct.

And he just used that as an example. It will be reciprocal tariffs. You want free trade with us? Fantastic.

Give us free trade with you. If you don’t, stop whining. Perfect.

I loved it. But this one goes deeper to me on the steel industry, and there are many industries that I believe that he should use tariffs to protect. I don’t think he should use them so that our industries can be fat, sloppy, and lazy.

I think he needs to protect us so that we can build our infrastructure. And those are two very different things. Dog nails.

I appreciate you, dog nails. Rosie, what’s going to happen to the judges now trying to block 45 and 47 cutting fat? We’re going to get into that one, too. That one’s going to be a fun one.

I hadn’t thought about that, Rick. I don’t think that’s going to be the case. But it wouldn’t be beyond the realm of thought.

Rick, just say, I think Trump’s not mentioning the real reason about Canada joining the US if Canada was involved in the stealing of the 2020. And that’s a huge if. Then Executive Order 1318 would see 818, excuse me, would seize all assets.

And the Treasury does own Canada. You’re right. I can see that.

I mean, it’s way out there in the realm of possibilities. But Toadstool, I have not heard that military would get any better rates. I have heard that they would get preferential appointments and preferential med beds when that becomes a thing.

And I still am hearing it’s a thing. Reading a few more of those. All right.

Democrats open to shutting down government over Trump’s doge activity, according to the senator. Don’t you love this one? There’s way to come out ahead on this one. I mean, do they have any idea how absolutely untenable, unsellable their opinion is on this, and how overwhelmingly all they’re doing is forcing more people that were on the fence into the Make America Great camp.

Democratic senator has said that he and his fellow Democrats are open to shutting down the government in March if President Donald Trump’s recent actions to slim down the federal government are not halted. They’re putting down their foot. Damn it.

We have got to keep the grift. We have to keep the fat. We like the free lunch.

I cannot support efforts that will continue this lawlessness that we’re seeing when it comes to this administration’s action. Senator Andy Kim from New Jersey Democrat said on February 9th interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, and for us to be able to support government funding in that way, only for them to turn it around to dismantle the government, that’s not something that should be allowed. Wait a minute.

So they should not be allowed to go in and get rid of wasteful spending is what you’re saying. I mean, because that is what you’re saying. That is exactly what you are saying.

Can I tell you how untenable that is? You can’t sell that to the American people. The only people you’re going to sell that to are the virtue signaling dumbasses that still have their head in the sand and refuse to look or pick it up and look at the real world in any way, or to break out a calculator and say, okay, where’s the common sense? Anybody else is looking at you, just like the idiot that you clearly are for making that statement. They are going after the waste.

They’re going after us funding, you’ve seen some of the insanity, and it is extreme. I mean, we’re funding drag shows all over the world, condoms for countries that supposedly don’t use them. I mean, just sheer, absolute insanity is what we’ve been spending.

And now you’re going to dig in your heels and say no to this one. And of course, I love what Trump’s taken is that we’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. And you know, the people elected me on that, Trump said in a Fox News interview on February 9th.

He described Musk as terrific and said he would soon focus on the Department of Defense, the country’s largest government agency. It’s pure panic right now. It is pure panic, and it’s getting better.

Trump, Musk, and the deep state, the battle over transparency begins. We got another one coming on the heels of that article, this one yesterday, yielding emergency orders. Their problem is they don’t have time.

Trump took his time in his first term when he was going after the waste. He gave them time to react. Now he is reacting faster than they can bring the lawsuits.

So the information’s already out by that point. In other words, we’ve already seen the grift. We’ve already seen the questionable spending.

And when they descended upon Treasury, you had four guys, but they were armed with some of the best AI algorithms, et cetera, to go in and pull apart the octopus of funding, how they pushed it here, pushed it there, and hidden things. I mean, this would, some of the greatest money laundering, money launderers in world history have been working within our own Treasury Department, in our own government, hiding NGOs, dark money, projects, you name it, and they have been unraveling the entire thing, and it is a pure panic. I’ve just been loving watching this thing roll out.

Doge team finds FEMA sent, here’s another one for you, 59 million last week to luxury New York City hotels for illegals. You have the same FEMA that could not take care of the displaced in North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, Florida, firefighters in California, but we can somehow, we couldn’t take care of our own displaced citizens, but we could somehow continue to pay hundreds of millions of dollars. This one, just this one week, they were trying to send 59 million to luxury hotels while they sent it.

Now, they are attempting to claw it back. When I say them, Trump and crew and Doge are attempting to claw it back. The party’s over, and I love watching the party end.

FEMA has such a big black eye right now. Yes, it looks like they’re trying to F around and find out. Now, I’m just trying to keep up with you guys.

Let’s see, Obama appointed judge has blocked the transfer of illegal Venezuelan immigrants to Guantanamo Bay by issuing a straining order. Lilypad hears the best part about these because so many of these judges are issuing all of these orders, and their orders are illegal because they do not hold any weight on a federal. In other words, we have activist judges in Washington state, state judges, trying to pass stays on federal actions.

If I know Trump the way I think I know Trump, he’s going to do it anyways and say, what the hell are you going to do? What are you going to do? You don’t have any jurisdiction. You don’t have any power. You don’t have your own secret police force to come and enforce your illegal activity or judgments.

What are you going to do? Well, I shouldn’t say I think. I know that that is the plan because some of the stays, et cetera, have zero constitutional standing. Now, in the past, Trump still backed off and then went and fought it in court.

He fought things in court that did not need to be fought because there was no jurisdiction. He would halt and wait. Now, he’s going to continue to execute until they actually have some jurisdiction or standing, which means he’ll be finished before they finally figure out a way to have some jurisdiction and standing.

And we do know the Department of Justice and Bondi and Crew and the FBI are ready to go after some of these folks that are just trying to play activist judges. Now, there was something that I forgot to mention. There was a good article in here somewhere.

I may be able to see, find enough of a basis to work with. This would be a good one to start with. Designating cartels as terrorists will have huge consequences as analysts.

It will allow them to do a whole lot more, to go after a lot more. And the reason I bring this article up, because we are hearing that they are preparing for actions everywhere. I have heard some very interesting things and the backlash should be tremendous.

I am being told that there is a concerted effort and there has been a tremendous amount of evidence that has already been collected that they are getting ready to do a round up and a pressure on New Mexico and Arizona against key business individuals and politicians, elected officials that have been working directly with and receiving money one way or the other, that they have uncovered a network between government in New Mexico and Arizona that have been working with the cartels. And that cleanup is about to happen as well. And I am told that it is okay for me to say that, that this is not in any way putting anybody in jeopardy because they do not know the when, the how.

But I am being told that you will see a lot of movement in specifically New Mexico and Arizona with some key business folks and an overwhelming number of local politicians. It is going to be wild, guys. It is going to be wild.

Let us see. They are already running special ops on cartels according to 107. That is what I shared with you guys, what, a week before last, as I was being told by folks that are special ops that they are preparing to deploy directly against.

So that makes perfect sense to me. Jill, oh, you know, you know. I would not be surprised if the majority of their efforts right now are not in California.

Yes, I want to look for Katie Hobbs to fare very well on the political front. So, yes, for me, I am finding this crazy, crazy interesting. Jacob and Amy.

But Mark, if I identify as a toaster and Trump puts a tax on blueberries, are you saying I will have to pay back my social security? No. But if you identified as a strawberry, brother, you would be screwed. I like that one.

Great sense of humor, Jacob and Amy. I love this, Lorraine. Oh, my God, I am in Arizona.

I cannot wait to see this lockup, Ruben. I mean, it is going to get fun, guys. It is going to get fun.

Just, I mean, just continue to buckle up. I have not heard anything about the new rainbow currency in certain areas, Beerus. I would assume that they will release some countrywide all at the same time.

So, yes, look for fun, especially in the Southwest in politics. Look for a lot of fun. All right, guys, I need to wrap it up.

I got Jasmine, Ariah, and Aliyah, other birthday people. Sound off. TP, I have Gorilla Glue to hold them.

Yes, you are going to need a bunch. I am having fun reading what you all are saying. Shit to Paul.

It is good to see you. It is a new definition to coyote hunting. Oh, God, it would be a really bad time to buy a coyote right now.

Oh, I am just helping them. I am just walking them to the border. Somebody else is walking on the other side.

I know it is going to be a really bad time because they are being targeted as well. Vicki, our ranch is getting flooded. Neighborhood services are giving us problems again.

Hard to do stuff when mucking through the mud. Okay, I am just reading some comments. Happy birthday to all celebrating.

If I miss anybody, I apologize. Sound off and make them feel loved because they are. R1 Davis’ wife, Kristen, added to that list.

So they tell me it is 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. Happy birthday to all those celebrating.

Claire, I do think the number of currency owners has greatly increased. At the same time, I think it is more evenly spread. I think you have fewer with runaway amounts.

I think you have more with a reasonable amount that it has shifted somewhat. Let’s see. Flight trackers, boy, if you have been watching Reno, you have seen what private jet traffic is in the last two weeks has increased by 400 or 500%.

It is not because of the time of year. I am talking about even adjusted seasonally. They are starting to see a tremendous amount of traffic from something.

They only stay four or five hours and then they are gone. I have been keeping an eye on their flight traffic. It makes it fun, guys.

It makes it fun. All right. See you this evening at seven.

I thought about canceling it, but we should have something by then. See you guys this evening.
