Coffee with MarkZ and Andy Schectman. 02/26/2025

Music Welcome to the Truth Floor. I hope you enjoyed your ride on the elevator to Rise Above Mainstream Media. I don’t know what to say with that one.

I want different music. Hello, Mouse, Mitz, Peach, Pratt, Firecracker, Mac, Mr. Lee. Hello, Danielle and Michael.

Hello, Degu. Just watching some of these. Hello, Bon Bon.

Hello, Martin. Let’s see. Death.

I lost my dad, Waylon, last night. He was part of this for over 18 years. Another one did not make it to the end.

He was 88. Jeffrey, that means we’re going to have a lot of work to do for them and just prayers. Prayers of comfort.

I know you’re going through a rough time. Ro, yeah, you got to appreciate the irony there, right? Been listening to the same intro for four years. I want it back.

Hello, Gerald. Sharon’s 21 again. Sharon Button instead of Benjamin Button, right? It’s going to rip past me.

I’ll have a tough time keeping up with you. I did start Twitch, but I will be ending Twitch probably right after the news today. So if you are on Twitch, this is your chance.

Just giving you guys a heads up. Oh, Tippa, Mark, are you requiring the mods to submit five things they did? And it’s my bride Chris’s birthday today. She’s getting a half day off at noon.

Oh, Tippa, go enjoy that one. Go enjoy that one. And please pass on the birthday wishes.

Let’s see. Matt had a question, but I don’t know if I can get to it. Trump’s executive order was subject to a 15 day review of the office of the DNI.

That’s Tulsi Gabbard. She’s not confirmed until February 12th. That means February 27th can be the earliest that can be released.

Oh, Matt, I’m glad you took the time to do the math on that one. The Epstein and the MLK files trumpeted 15 days. And wow, solid.

So we’re talking about tomorrow or Friday. Matt, well done. No, Whip, I do not want your list of five things you did this week.

Please submit it to Booger. Happy 13th to Trinity. Happy birthday, teenager.

Hey, Martini, no worries. I will share the link. You can go directly there.

Putting the link right now for Kik. Oh, Brad, you know, I’m glad you asked that question. I’ve just said a Meridian update, Meridian health update.

Biox, I’m trying to remember the rebranding name. All right, guys, we do not have Andy this morning. I’m going to have to adjust that.

Well, if I’d have known ahead, we’d have been set. He’s on a plane to go see his daughter at school. So we do not have Andy this morning.

Well, let’s get back to the health update. So some rebranding, some things to make the attorneys happy. Everything is going to be labeled as research chemicals, which is pretty standard in that space.

It’ll make sense to you all. Banking, everything done. Website should be able to order by maybe this weekend, Monday or so at the latest.

So, yeah, finally jump through all the legal hurdles. And now it was just logistics. So bear with it.

Hopefully before the end of the week, worst case on Monday, I will be able to share that link for top notch, top quality access for everybody. Yes, and deliberate. I definitely feel like we’re almost there.

I wish I knew exact timing. Now what I am expecting today are a lot of updates on timing for bond folks. That is the expectation today.

Everybody is finding out where they’re at in the rotation for their payment, which is that in and of itself is just awesome. Hey, Mark, my Reno contact. Trump will announce we’re now back on the gold standard on the fourth.

A lot of folks believe that that is the plan. A lot of very connected folks think that is the plan. If that’s the plan, guys, that means he’s got to let us know before then and try to quietly get, my guess is, part of us, a third of us in the bank or so for liquidity, if that’s what he’s going to do.

All right, Twitch folks, counting on you guys to go ahead and find where you are headed, if it’s important to you. All right, you guys, on the plane crash front, you know what? It always pays to look at the statistics. Has there been an increase in plane crashes? Here’s what the data shows.

It seems like, oh, my God, every time we turn around, did you know that by this time of year in 2023 and in 2024, there have already been more plane accidents? We’re just paying attention to them now. It’s kind of like when you buy a white car, now suddenly you see all the white cars. You buy a new Chevy truck, you look around, you didn’t even notice all of them before.

By paying attention to them, we create the crisis, not to say that we don’t need to make some serious changes. Our general aviation system is like 50 years behind in technology and desperately needs an update. But I just wanted to bring some of those statistics to you for when you hear, because, you know, all on the left are going, oh, my God, it’s Trump’s fault.

We have all of these plane accidents that we’ve never had before. No, we have. We are just putting them in the press now.

And Epic Times did a solid breakdown on that front for you guys, if you are interested to see where the height of the issues is, where it’s been. So positive on that one. Vicious Rose, I didn’t say the dong was going.

I said, well, it’s a matter of time, and I don’t know the timing. So clearly you’re trolling. If you were real, you would already know that.

No, it is. But it’s interesting. All right, I’m still waiting until the 10-minute mark.

It’s our last day waiting till the 10-minute mark. So we’ll dive into it. Somebody asked me, guys, I wish I knew.

Oh, geez, Robert, absolutely, I miss flying. Miss being in an airplane. Well, in charge in the airplane.

Patsy, we’re going to talk about the gold cards. It’s actually a toughening of an existing program. The toughening of an existing program.

Mountain Goat, this process has changed, and NAR has to get off the sole de facto peg to the U.S. dollar. This is a solution that is the only way out of this mess in Iraq. He’s correct there, or she.

They must go to a basket of currencies. They’ve already said they’re going to, of developed countries, as the IMF and World Bank recommend. They said that they would go to a combination of gold-backed and basket of currencies.

They’ve already said that. World Bank recommended for Iraq way back in 2011 and 2012, 2013, and the director of the CBI, Dr. Shabibi, was going to revert this to this basket of currencies, which would have allowed the NAR to be reinstated. Bam, that’s very solid work over there.

Mountain Goat nailing it. That is also the approach that was taken by Kuwait when they revalued. They tied to a basket of currencies in the region.

Iraq has already named its basket, has already come out and said the plan is to back it, and we’re going to talk about that some coming up. The I-NAR, the gold-backed I-NAR, that is a combination of metals and a basket of currencies in the region. It’s going to be fun.

Hannah’s birthday. Don’t know what to tell you, Robert. We get so many mixed things.

I’ve been told constantly that it will take at least a few months, probably six to nine months after, before they are readily accessible. Polly Collie, 0.000% of me thinks it’s going to be $42. Rain Man, I flew a bunch of different planes, so it’s kind of a tough one.

Probably my favorite one to fly, Mooney M20C. Breaking, Representative Anna Paulina Luna announces the JFK files will be easily publicly accessible online. Don’t you love it? Oh, it’s going to get fun.

Happy birthday, Miss Rhonda. I’m trying to keep up with you guys. Love all the birthdays in here.

Now, remember, guys, I am getting ready to shut down Twitch. Just your reminder. I know you’re probably tired of hearing it.

It’s 10 after. Let’s get to it. On the bond side, just a reminder.

Today, I am being told they are expecting to find out their rotation in payment of those historical bonds. CBI to introduce a digital currency and reduce cash reliance. Oh, my God, I can see the people jumping off cliffs right now.

Digital currency, guys. They talked about this years ago, even before Sudani. They talked about the gold-backed Aydinar, where their digital currency would be backed by precious metal, which is kind of interesting that Iraq has now become the seventh largest gold-holding nation in the world.

Seventh. Think of how small Iraq is, but it’s the seventh. Just moved into that position.

Isn’t it interesting? But they talked about their Aydinar, meaning it was going to be a gold-backed digital currency. Gold-backed and basket of currencies, digital currencies. Then you would also have this version, but each one of these would represent the digital currency.

If it said five, it would represent five of those. This allows them to better track their dollars, their movement, the where, etc. It is not a fractional, made-up digital crypto, whatever.

It is on the blockchain to protect it. It’s on the ledger. It’s very different than some of the early propositions for central bank digital currencies.

This is a very different monkey. I wanted to point that out. Each one represents a fixed amount of goods.

That is a massive difference. They want to reduce reliance on cash, increase efficiency. Right now, somewhere between 34% and 40% of the money transactions in Iraq are handled through banking or digital means.

The rest is all cash, which in certain regions can lead to a whole lot of corruption. Mazar Saleh stresses the importance of electronic payment and digital transformation in Iraq, exactly why they are doing what they are doing. The framework meets… Oh, well, I should probably tell you, this is the top economic advisor to Sadani, just in case you guys ever wondered, because I quote this guy a lot, and I don’t think I’ve ever taken the time to say, oh, this is who this is.

This is the present-day Shabibi. This is who has stepped in and now fills that role. It’s important, in my opinion, to pay attention to him.

Framework meets with an emergency meeting to discuss the scenes of Rubio and Sadani’s communication. In other words, Sadani and Rubio have been really putting it together, working through what they call files to settle all of the relations between the U.S. and Iraq and to push very hard, guys. Their focus is Iraqi energy independence.

They want them 100% independent, where they don’t need to import anything, and they’re exporting. This removes much of the influence that Iran has in Iraq. To arrange the papers with the Americans, revealing the reason for al-Kazemi’s return to Baghdad.

It keeps getting more interesting. Former Prime Minister Kazemi returning to the political scene. Kazemi is extremely well-versed and well-connected in both U.S. and Saudi political system.

He is being brought back to Iraq with the understanding that it is his job to… Oh, what’s the word I’m looking for? He is going to be the go-between as they work through all of their final agreements, disagreements, to bring Iraq and the U.S., Saudi, and this basket of other currencies and countries into alignment with thoughts, directions, where they’re headed. Guys, this is getting really fun to watch. They got the A-team in charge now.

Following up on that one, Iraq leads Arab world. Gold purchase jumps to seventh globally. Guys, this is huge.

Globally, Iraq ranks seventh in gold purchases in 2024. Following Poland, which led with 90 tons, Turkey with 75 tons, India with 72, Azerbaijan in fourth, China in fifth, Czech Republic in sixth. They are aggregating gold for their Aydinar.

Isn’t this fun, watching it? Mediator, bam, I appreciate that one, no name. That’s exactly the word I was looking for. Freebeard, good to have you in the house.

Yeah, facilitator, arbitrator. Mediator is exactly what I was looking for, though. Canuck, I don’t have any direct Canadian banking contacts for XEM, but no, you’re going, your banks aren’t going to have a clue.

There are a few that have a clue. I’ve talked to somebody that worked within the Royal Bank of Canada that was very clued in. Similar to what you’ve got in the U.S., you’re going to suddenly find out.

Brent, Anna’s birthday. Happy birthday, Miss Anna. Danny, just watch the drama.

They need to release the tables at the same time they release the rate, is my opinion. So they’re going to be stuck holding them until they’re ready for the release. JB, favorite was a Cessna 150 Arabat.

I forgot about the Arabat. Stronger wing, guys. It was much more.

You didn’t want to jerk a 150 around, but so much. In the Arabat, you could jerk around a lot more, and it handled a crosswind better. Just kind of an updated 150.

6.8 Whiskey Mike was my 150. It was always a little depressing, though, when you’re flying a Cessna 150 and the transfer trucks on the highway are outrunning you. If you look down, they’re just driving away from you.

Oh, that would be cool. I flew in a B-25 with a pilot friend. That would be very cool.

Royal RCB was the banker that I spoke with. Have they gone through a name change up there? But I was told, and I’m trying to remember, Scott’s Bank, Scottish Bank, name was similar to that. RBC and P-something were the three banks I was told for Canada.

But I’d really have to go back and look. Jordan, my guess is they’re going to try to squeeze us in before they make it public. They’re at least going to try to keep it under wraps, similar to how they did in Kuwait.

They kept it under wraps for 10 days. Damn, a 150’s a half ton Ford. I had one of those, a 73 model.

Dwayne, I never tried a glider. I had a lot of pilot friends that kept trying to talk me into it. Scotia Bank, hey, thank you for that.

Quantum Healing, I did submit my application to the White House press corps. But think about it. You only have room for so many in that room.

I am not that big. Just not that big. Am I connected to the administration? Yes, to some degree.

But it would not make sense to put me in that press corps. You’re going to need somebody, I hate to say this, somebody more agile that can get in, get out, many of these places to be in the press corps. And if it were me and I were finding social media people, I would find some with a bigger level of influence or a bigger crowd.

Sucks, but makes sense to me. All right, let’s keep running. We got a good one here, too.

Oh, look, it’s NPR, too. I couldn’t resist using NPR as a source instead of anything conservative. Trump introduces a green card for the rich.

The gold card. So, I mean, you can tell that they’re trying to paint it as ugly, but isn’t this interesting? The previous program was even easier to take advantage of. So, previously, you had to have at least $1.5 million and you had to come in to get this preferred business visa or permanent visa for business.

In other words, you could live here. Trump has changed it up. So, you could come in, you had to invest at least $1.5 million in a new business that creates shops, or $800,000 if the business is in a rural area, a high unemployment area, or in an infrastructure project.

This is how it used to work. You could kick it in. Luke Nicktoll reported the EB-5 program was full of nonsense, make-believe, and fraud.

In other words, you could pretend you were creating a business, get lines of credit, slash whatever, and never actually do anything. They’re saying, yeah, we’re going to change this up. So, what we’re going to do is we’re going to make it where you can get your permanent visa, not your citizenship for $5 million.

But you’ll be able to come and go from the U.S. background checks, et cetera. They’ve got to make certain you’re not a nefarious drug lord, whatever. So, $5 million to get it.

But it does offer a path to citizenship. If you come in, you start investing, you start doing whatever. So, if you’re going to bring $5 million, for $5 million you can get a U.S. permanent visa.

There can be a lot of wealthy people around the world that will take advantage of that. It will greatly reduce taxes for the working class. This is the reason they’re doing it.

They’re using the wealthy to help the less fortunate. So, for me, he actually made it tougher. Now, it’ll get you that permanent visa, but it will not get you citizenship.

It’ll get you a path. You’ll still have to jump through the hoops like anybody else. You’ll just get to live here while you’re jumping through the hoops.

Ooh, this one’s fun. My daughter in Florida is pregnant. Her baby will be a very special girl.

She didn’t want to be pregnant. Looks like I’m going back. Oh, that’s awesome, Baja girl.

Mmm. Sir Laughalot, you’re awfully kind. All right.

It is that time. Now that we’ve gotten that far, guys, I’m going to go ahead and shut down Twitch. You have a few minutes to find where you want to go.

And, guys, for those that are unfamiliar as to why I’m leaving Twitch, Twitch continues to host some extremist anti-Semitic people and personalities, and I just refuse. Until they are willing to change that, come down on that, I will be leaving Twitch. When they are ready to address that issue, I’ll be glad to come back to Twitch, but I will not allow my revenue dollars to go towards what they make off me of the ads they show you guys to support hate of that level.

It is unacceptable in any civilized world. And trust me, they know exactly what I’m talking about. They’ve lost hundreds of personalities over it.

They just continue to dig in on it. All right. Now that that one is done, there you go.

We’re no longer on Twitch. Lady Magga, we all told them why. They still haven’t done anything about it, so here you go.

Sorry it took so long. Now we can get back to news from around the world. It’s a little weird because I prepared to have Andy today, so we are going to have a little free time.

We talked about the gold card, the how, the what. Oh, there are some fun stuff here. House passes the budget blueprint to fund Trump’s agenda.

Now you’re going to get a kick. I’m going to ask you folks to use your common sense when we talk about this one and see what you think on this front. Okay.

Let’s see. The House approved the resolution in a 217 to 215 vote. It authorizes relevant House committees to find at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, and $4 trillion bump to the debt ceiling.

They need the $4 trillion bump to the debt ceiling because we are still running a deficit. He’s asking for this to get them through the next four years, which is half the overspending of the current administration, because I can see how they’re going to try to spend this. Oh, my God, he’s trying to add $4 trillion in one year.

No, he’s trying to bump the debt ceiling so he doesn’t have to have continued nonstop fights while he is in office. The goal is to not need it at all, but it is in place and ready. So they’re going to try to cut 1.5 spending, 4.5 in tax cuts, which means they’re going to reduce the number.

But now the kick out here is listening to the Democrats because they’re claiming that it is only, only to enrich Trump supporters and folks. Now, wait a minute, we’re going to spend less, but it’s somehow there to enrich them. So I’m getting a kick out of that one, trying to follow the math here.

How are they going to make a lot more money off of you if you’re spending far less money? I’m still waiting for that one. Has anybody figured this one out too? Let’s see, Cirrus SR-22s, yeah, they’re cool planes. They’re smooth, they’re relatively quick, but they’re still kind of behind in technology and airframe.

Chabby at popcorn is good. Now, that would have been cool. The Goodyear blimp in the command seat, that would have been really cool, really cool, RW.

Tim, it would be fun if they would do a rotating one. Wendy Hill, I’m told that the contract rate is specific to the NAR, but we do get preferential treatment on reduced fees for the other currencies, meaning that we don’t have to pay as much for banking fees, spreads, et cetera. So I was told to only expect a 2% or 3% difference on the other currencies to go through redeeming banks, redemption centers, whatever it is you guys want to call them.

But when you start talking about those levels of numbers and values, 2% or 3% is huge, huge. Yes, Scott, I stopped short of getting my helicopter rating. I’ve got about 10 hours in one.

I just never followed up and did my checkoff ride with an instructor on that one. Almost or right around 2,000 hours fixed wing. Helicopters are fun.

I’d love to have one. Of course, there’s so much new technology coming. I have heard that there’s possibility the new Air Force One will be supersonic, but I’ve also been told there may be two presidential planes, one of them based on a supersonic design and another one a little more for slow comfort.

In other words, one specifically designed when there’s a need to get them there and get them there faster. Booger, I flew a kite before. P-38 Lightning would be so cool.

There’s a lot of the old World War II planes I would love to be able to fly. Teleport, Kathy, did you see, I guess what, two weeks ago or so, they did teleport using quantum entanglement. They did a teleportation.

Of course, just a little bit of matter, but it’s the first step in the technology. Pretty cool. Vision Jet is neat.

There’s so many cool ones out there. Our future is so exciting. All right, guys, let’s keep running.

We talked about that one. I just love the mentality, though, like, oh, my God, they’re enriching themselves. They’re spending far less money.

They’re cutting back spending. They’re cutting trillions and trillions of dollars out of spending, but somehow they’re enriching themselves. I’m waiting for the common sense to kick in when people spew that and repeat that, like McFly.

IRS data leak affected many more taxpayers than previously said. You remember the organization, the employees that said, oh, my God, the liberals out there going, oh, my God, you can’t let Doge in there. All of our information is going to be publicly available.

Certainly somebody is going to leak this or do that or weaponize it. A reminder here, this story just hitting. Information on more than 400,000 taxpayers was leaked by an IRS contractor.

Yes, a liberal that released a hit list of conservatives and their tax returns, including Donald Trump’s. Yes, Charles Littlejohn inappropriately disclosed information on 405,427 taxpayers 2019. No way is it 20 here and here somewhere is going to tell us what years.

But it was during the first beginning of the right around the beginning of Trump’s first one. Let’s see. Oh, wait.

Littlejohn was working for an IRS contractor 2019 2020. Excuse me. That’s when he released it to try to damage the hopes for a reelection for Donald Trump.

So just a great reminder. The thing that they told you they were worried about, they already did. They just want to be the only ones that can do it.

Selective morals. They’re fired. The story we covered yesterday.

There are consequences. 100 intelligence officials in a sick chat group terminated and their security clearances revoked. Did anybody hear that one? Ray, is anyone in your family have a list of items you must have for the RV? Ray, the easiest way to do it.

Look at your currencies. If you have receipts, great. Don’t drive yourself nuts unless you have like, unless you spent 100 grand.

Don’t worry. It’s what I’ve been told. But just whatever you need to open a bank account.

Find out from a local big bank in your area what documentation you need to open a bank account. That and your currency should be all you need. JC, did anyone check the rate of the Indonesian rupee, rupiah? I have not, but JC, I continue to hear it’s expected to be about $1.47. I’ve heard that for since almost day one.

Saw the North Flying Wing take off and fly at Chino. It was smaller than I thought. It was still like weird watching.

I remember the first time I saw one of the, what, B-2s or whatever, the Flying Wing Bomber. It was weird. Yeah, the S-51, well, SW, really cool.

So many cool like experimental ones out there too. I love this one. So Tulsi Gabbard had no problem over there at the NSI.

Well, is it NSI? Yeah. All righty then. At the DNI, Director of National Intelligence.

I knew I would get this one. They were part of this very twisted, some of the stuff clearly illegal for anybody else in the world, but these NSA people had no problem. These government intelligence people had no problem sharing what would have sent you and I to jail back and forth with their perversion.

So, yep, they have been canned and their security clearances revoked. It’s about daggone time. All right, moving forward.

Zelensky to visit the White House Friday to sign minerals deal. $500 million. Matter of fact, it gets even more interesting.

They’re looking at some joint ventures with Russia on precious minerals. Now in the war at the border, and we can officially call it a war, Texas rancher killed near border in IED, an improvised explosive device attack by cartel. Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller released a shocking statement on Tuesday about a Texas rancher blown up by an improvised explosive device planted by cartel terrorists near the U.S.-Mexico border.

A tragic and alarming incident occurred near Brownsville, Texas, where U.S. citizens and Texas rancher was killed by an improvised explosive device. The shocking act of violence highlights the growing threat posed by cartel activity along our southern border. Killed him, I believe one other, and put his wife is in critical condition.

74-year-old rancher, rural community. This is on your own soil. You have cartels planting landmines, improvised devices you can see here from the picture.

The crater is where it was buried and prepared. The truck cruising along some of its fields, checking fields. Hits it, explodes, killing citizens.

I’ll let you guys think through the ramifications of this one. This is what the last four years of no control at the border has brought you. This is what decades of the Mexican government being afraid to go after the cartels bring you.

It also gives you after decades of the U.S. refusing to deal with the drug crisis in the U.S. brings you. This is decades in the making. We also have many reports out there right now that the Maduro, president of Venezuela, supposedly has iron solid proof that the Biden administration had worked out and worked with some inside the Venezuelan government to bring Trinidad, whatever the name.

I’m going to totally screw that one up. Violent gang for them to be released from prison there and shipped to the U.S. That is a rumor at this point. There are some big groups from Alex Jones to you name it, a number of them that are following up to see if there is any truth in that.

Can you imagine how damning that will be when you find out officials knowingly recruited governments to empty their jails with their most violent prisoners so that they would be here to destabilize? That would be treason. Fantastic. There’s a method to the madness.

Thank you, Manhattan. Let’s see. I want to get current again on my F.R.I. Nate Brainman.

I need to do the same, but I can’t do that until I get a medical and I can’t get a medical. I got to keep flying sport pilot until then. Give me a med bed.

There’s a method to the madness. Why does the president come up with so many out of the box ideas? There’s likely a strategy behind these zingers, although not all of the ideas pan out. No, they don’t.

I love this piece because I’ve been screaming about it from day one. First, Trump declared our northern neighbor, Canada, could become the 51st state, although Puerto Rico is more likely to and better chance. In other words, the dog won’t hunt is evidenced by the opposition.

Canadians didn’t want it. But what did happen when he did this, Canada capitulated and tighten their border security because we had a lot, a lot of the illegal drugs now are coming through Canada into the U.S. instead of through Mexico into the U.S. So they quickly got a compromise. Ten thousand more troops, a tightening of their northern border and tariffs are more evenly balanced.

It’s still being worked on. So he throws them out there to see what sticks, and he accomplished it. He did the same thing in Panama.

He did the same thing in the Middle East, threatening, hey, look, we’ll just bulldoze Gaza, create a new one, send them somewhere else. We’ll manage your city. We’ll take over.

It’ll make it resorts, put some Trump hotels. Outlandish, right? What did it do? It forced conversations. Now you have other Middle Eastern nations saying, you know, we’ve got to figure this out, or he will figure it out for us.

So if we want something that’s acceptable to us, people, culture, then we have to come up with some answers and spend our own dollars to do it. I love it. It was extremely effective.

Same thing with Doge. He comes in like a wrecking ball and forces everybody to do what they should have already been doing, tighten it up, thinking, what are some of the ideas? He throws out some outlandish and he throws out some great, and he gets the ball rolling. I love it.

This article, I thought, was just fantastic because it lets you into his mind. It’s what I’ve been trying to explain to people. It’s been a painful journey as they just don’t seem to get it just laid out.

I just love it, love it, love it. Reverse psychology, anything you want to call it. Yeah, those are wrecking balls.

Let’s see. Breaking, they’re really massive. Wait, no, wait.

I thought I saw something that said breaking. You guys are so good at bringing breaking news that I try to keep an eye on it. A lot of folks, do we need a peace deal? I don’t know if we need a peace deal or not.

I mean, I guess it doesn’t hurt to share the rumors. The rumors are that a peace deal is going to get announced over the weekend. That’s the rumors running around D.C. That there are many in the circles that are expecting a peace deal somewhere around Sunday to be announced.

So I do find it interesting with that chatter. Then they’ll pick up the paper. Well, they pick up the paper, click the button, today’s world.

About Zelensky being here on Friday to sign that deal. And then you look at the discussions now going on between the U.S. and Russia on joint mineral deals. Because Trump was very clear, hey, yeah, we want some minerals out of Ukraine.

And we would like to be able to purchase minerals from Russia. We’d like to move forward so we can start removing some of the sanctions if they uphold their end of the bargain. Yeah, I’m loving this.

I mean, they’re showing you a clear picture for a future. And global allegiances, alliances, or whatever it is you want to call them, guys, are changing and changing quickly. And you can be damn skippy for a change that the U.S. will side where it serves its best interests.

So pretty stinking exciting on that front. Tina S. Red, it’s good to see you in here. Caitlin’s mom.

That is the rumor going on right now that March 9th will be the last time we have to move our clocks forward. That the time will permanently go to daylight savings, which puts me back on the same clock with you guys when that happens. Let’s see.

Isn’t Kazemi one of the ones we had high hopes for? Absolutely, we had high hopes and did nothing to move the needle. No, yeah, things just weren’t ready. But we did.

We had a lot because Kazemi was politically savvy enough to balance the other nations but wasn’t capable of getting his own country jump started. So he will make the perfect mediator because he understands the issues very well. Let’s see.

Tripped down a huge dark rabbit hole last night. Chat. GBT.

Smart dust. The explanation of the drones. Finally, micro electromechanical systems drones.

Well, I’m afraid to judge. Greg, you’ll have to share what you found. I may regret saying that, but.

Xavier, Kazemi’s a chump. Yeah, but he’s not in charge. He’s just the mediator.

I think they found a role for him that he can fit in. Let’s see. Green Tea, you probably didn’t get timed out by Ahmad.

Of course, you might have if you did a bunch of caps. And we do have a handful of people, guys, that are approved to use caps because of their vision issues. They have extreme vision issues, meaning like legally blind.

Tim Foo, you’re right. People don’t like it, but often need a boot in the rear to jog their brain. Human nature, unfortunately.

And 99% of times when you guys get timed out or anything, you get timed. Well, not. I mean, if you’re in a room with Booger in there, then you get removed just for fun.

But you guys are just having fun, so have at it. But on the YouTube side, guys, 99% of the time, the AI bot removed you for something you said. And it probably was perfectly fine to say it.

You just have to think of a different way to phrase it. We usually don’t time out people. We usually just remove them for good if they’re being that bad on YouTube.

Let’s see. Wait. Do the mushrooms have any kind of discount? I want to try them for inflammation.

My pain is terrible. I’m a fixed income. None that I know of, Pamela.

Some less expensive. I mean, there are other options out there. You just got to watch who they’re coming from to make certain the quality is high.

Dwayne. Well, it’s my understanding the QFS won’t offer you interest because that is discretionary. You would have to move it outside of the QFS system if you want to earn interest.

That’s my understanding of the system. The algorithm bent me over yesterday. It’ll do it.

You have one of those days where you just can’t get around it. Now, Michael, that’s so cool. That would be neat.

I don’t understand well enough the mechanisms for steering. In junior high, I was in Civil Air Patrol and got to ride in a Huey. Ooh, that would have been fun.

KC-135 and flew a B-52 simulator. Oh, that’s just cool. Currently, the U.S. only allows states to choose regular time or flipping back.

Keeping daylight savings year-round isn’t yet an option nationally. Yeah, X positive. Supposedly that is changing with this Congress.

We’ll see. We hear those rumors almost every year, don’t we? Ooh, an Aerostar 602P. That’s a plane that was on my hit list for a long time.

Mellow Yellow is one and one. Dave LaWerta used to work on the C-130. A bud of mine was environmental air on a C-130, meaning he fixed the air conditioning and stuff.

And the C-130s that were equipped for pressurization. Asher. You know, Asher, you probably would not be surprised.

Asher says, since all eyes are on Iraq, don’t be surprised if the Trump administration does a rope-and-open RVs in other countries. Currency Iraq has a lot of corrupt politicians. It’s possible.

It is very possible. That’s why I keep saying don’t put all your eggs in one basket. More likely would be he has a surprise in there that we didn’t expect to go yet.

Yeah, it’s going to be a bad day for many of these banks. Karen, I am not in any way worried about a 10-day shutdown. I know a lot of people out there are pitching they’re going to shut down the roads, martial law, all these things.

I’m not looking for anything like that. My sources have told me nearly from the beginning that they would only shut down certain areas while they did any kind of cleanup operation. That they would not be shutting down the whole nation.

That they would be taking control of some media sources to run on a loop to get news and information out. Just like they would do in any other time of war slash whatever or natural catastrophe, et cetera, just to get the news out. I’ve been told over and over and over and over and over again.

They are not shutting the entire place down where it’s going to be like martial law. You’re going to have tons of checkpoints. I was told those things will be limited for certain areas during operations.

Say they’ve got a really bad cell of bad people in, I don’t know, pick something, Detroit. And they have to shut down a quadrant of the city while they clean it up. Or D.C. Let’s say they need to shut down D.C. It doesn’t mean they’re shutting down Kansas.

They would just shut down what they need to clean up in D.C. There’s my example for you. I would not worry on that front. Deb, it’s still possible this week.

My bond side, they’re expecting to find out their, what do I call it, their spot in the queue today for payments. Greg, I appreciate. Mark, basic med, use regular doctor if okay to drive you fly.

Trying to keep up with you guys. Just use them. Yeah, it’s not quite that easy.

Of course, they may have changed it, Greg. At one point, you had to be able to stand off of a chair without arms, using only your legs to stand up. And I’ve not looked at it.

I probably could pass. Leslie, nice. That’s more money than I was willing to put in a plane.

Mine’s just an old 64 Mooney M20C. Mr. C will not be traveling to Reno. They travel to him.

Anytime you see a rumor out there about, yeah, Mr. C’s in Reno, something like that, it’s bullshit. And the person is obviously not connected at all if they posted that. They’ve been very clear.

He will not be required to travel. They will come to him. Denate, no, the missile range is no longer active.

They’ve been cleaning it all up and returning it to the people. Tom, you don’t know. You’ve already got a preferred visa, a permanent visa, Tom.

Matter of fact, we’ll go and give you citizenship over here. I’m just going to enjoy some of your questions for a while before we wrap it. Any word on a meet and greet? No, Gina, but I’m going to try to nail it down this week.

Right now, tentatively, a meet and greet would most likely happen Sunday afternoon evening when the event wrapped up on March 9th. So my best guess would be five or six o’clock. It will be at a local restaurant bar someplace with a larger room in the back to do just a meet and greet.

Andy says he’ll join. Some of the other influencers said they would come and join as well. Just, you know, shake hands, meet each other, have a hug, whatever.

Kanyana, what does rope-a-dope mean? Rope-a-dope, made famous by Muhammad Ali in a fight where he just allowed, was it Frazier, guys? Holmes or Frazier, just to beat on him. He let him punch himself out. That’s how tough Ali was.

He was like, you know, I can dance around. I can do all these things. He said, but he doesn’t have the stamina, so he did what he called rope-a-dope.

He let him beat on him until he was too tired, and then Ali came out and just pummeled him. So he did the rope-a-dope. Let him think that you are beaten and then come out swinging hard.

That’s what he did. He let him think he was beaten, dropped his guard, and he just erupted on him. So that’s the rope-a-dope.

Look like you’re down, then come out just brutally swinging, foreman. Carl, thank you. 1974 against George Floyd.

You guys, you can tell the guys I hang out with. Yeah, and if you ever get a chance to have an adult beverage with Charlie, he’s a great conversation, folks. You’ll get the chance over the years.

Kevin, exactly what Trump kind of did to the deep state. Patsy, will I be able to exchange currency for my sibling in their own name? Patsy, I was told a very simple power of attorney that only gives you the power to exchange it and put it into an account for them. Open account for them in their own name.

You’re not on the account, but I have been told that, yes, it’s no problem. And power of attorneys are easy. You can get a lot of examples free off the Internet.

You can chat GPT. It’ll probably make you an outline for one that you just have to fill out. I don’t know for certain.

I know there’s some weird parameters in how you have to ask it because it’s not allowed to give you real legal advice or something along those things. Joy, my former beau was an F-14 pilot, Navy captain who was in some huge ops. Fascinating to hear about.

Yeah, no, you can’t put names there, but it is cool, isn’t it? Cindy will be up under a different name, we’re hoping, Friday or Monday of this week. Things have moved forward very quickly and awesomely on that front for your research needs. Trying to keep up with you all.

Y’all are just hitting it hard. Miss Linda, I appreciate you. Oh, no, I’ve never heard of one dying, but, you know, they’re electronic.

They have to die on occasion, Send Pony. I want to think twice if we had the option to go. Regardless, I’ll leave the UK for me.

I’m done here and sick of this government. Tom, do you know how many people are in that same boat? I keep hoping somebody is going to step up. You have a number of politicians now in the UK calling for a Doge-like moment.

Will it gain enough support of the people? That’s going to be the question. That’s a nation, that’s a country that can still be saved, but you’re going to have to stand the heck up. Or, come on, move down here.

Hey, you’ll probably be able to afford that permanent visa after this. Mack McCord’s mom, happy birthday. You had somebody said use that moment in Rocky.

They really did. They really did use that one. And it was based because of that foreman, Ali Byte.

Sat right seat with an instructor in a Citation jet and handled, oh, man, the sea jets. I’ve flown quite a few derivatives of those. I used to fly with an FAA instructor, and he also, his full-time job was flying, what’s the word? I’m looking for like a net jets business out of North Carolina.

So he was constantly flying groups, and when he was flying a plane that needed a co-pilot, he would give me a call because I was pretty flexible at that time. I worked a lot of hours, but I was flexible in the hours I worked. So I got to fly with Pat, and I flew all over the country, Caribbean slash whatever.

I got all that extra pilot time because he had to have a licensed pilot with him. And, oh, I fit that bill. Within three days was always the rumor once the bondholders get their funds, Patricia.

Margie, it could be an absolute disaster, and that’s part of why I think they’re experimenting with this era now by paying off certain people’s debts. Certain people have had money just show up in accounts. I think they’re experimenting with it to see what people do.

Scarlett, I have about 2,000 hours. That’s a decent amount of flight time, especially considering I haven’t been able to fly in the last six or seven years. Scott, rather disgusted to hear all the religious persecutions over there in Scotland and Britain in general.

It needs to change. Literally arresting people for praying, yeah, and for speech, free speech. Not even like hateful things.

Not even like horrendous things. Things like, well, you know, little boys are born with a wiki. Just common sense stuff.

No Andy today, guys. Andy is headed to see his daughter. I’m going to have to change the description on this after.

Linda, just got your dream car last year, 65 Mutang. I like it. Oh, I did.

I love that one. Oh, wait. I’m looking for the one on the Congo.

Yeah, Todd, the Congo president offered rare earth to Trump if he could stop the killing his country. He said, look, we’ll work with you closely. Come in here.

We want you. We will give you. He was willing to give up pretty much all of their mineral rights to corporations as long as the employees, like 90 some percent of all employees were Conganese from the Congo.

That to me is just huge. And Trump would be an idiot not to take the president up on it in Congo. The rare earth minerals, cobalt, et cetera.

Some of the most rare minerals in the world come from the Republic of Congo. And I’ve met some wonderful people in the area, but it’s also. War torn and rough, but there are some people that just desperately want security so that they can raise their families and have hope and future.

So I’m for that one. Very, very for that one. Thomas, I’m with you.

I want a 73 Camaro for me. But before it’s all said and done, I will be redoing a burgundy 78 Firebird formula. Just got to find the right one.

And most of them, I mean, talking like 50 grand right now, 40, 50 grand. It’s nuts. When just five years ago, they were like three grand.

All right. Let’s let’s sing and get out of here, guys. It’s that time.

I enjoyed not having a guest. Nothing against Andy. Just sometimes I like my time with my people.

We got Sharon, Chris, Trinity, Hannah, Rhonda, Anna, Pat. I’m certain we missed a few. So they tell me it’s your birthday.

Well, happy birthday, darling. May you live. May you love all your dreams come true.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you and all celebrating. Let’s see. I don’t know if it’ll tell me there’s not that many.

Not many people went to kick so far. I’ve seen a number of them pop in over at YouTube already. No, I didn’t unfriend Andy.

I’m just picking on him. And a number of them already are showing up over on Rumble. Kimo, absolutely.

I mean, you’re flying a big red Peterbilt. I don’t think most people understand the level of coordination to drive a big rig with a load in traffic over the streets. As far as I’m concerned, you guys are probably more qualified than most pilots I’ve ever flown with.

You guys make better pilots than a lot of the pilots because of the attention to detail you have to have. Fred, I’ll take a look at it. All right, guys, I’m getting out of here.

Got appointments today. Looking forward to all the podcasts tonight, including a whiskey and wisdom. So I’ll see you guys at 7 Eastern.

I’m with you, Bill. I’m going to look for a different intro if I get time today. See you guys this evening.
