MarkZ Weekend (Uncut) 04-26-2025

Happy weekend, folks, enjoying my Freedom Forge coffee? Mmm, that’s good stuff. Sweden with the tears of liberals. Hello, Mr. Lee.

Hello, Weezer. Hello, Grandma Evie. Hello, Georgia Whipperwill.

Hello, Chicago Mama. Hello, Bengals, Sissy, Sapling, Lerner, and Windrider. Hello, David.

Hello, Mr. Took. What do you guys want to talk about this morning? We are supposed to have Matt and Lucas in the house at any moment. I haven’t seen them pop in the background yet, but I’m certain they’ll be here soon.

We’ll spend the first 45 minutes with the gurus, then bounce over to what news of the day there is. Not an enormous amount. We do have a delegation meeting from Iraq.

Let’s see. Make certain I get this one right. Holds talks with the Bank of International Settlements and the International Monetary Fund meeting in D.C. with a high-level Iraqi delegation.

No golden shirt yet. Goldsberry, Wayne, I wish I could tell you it’s time to go now. Wish I could tell you that.

I don’t know. We continue to get very good static out of the bond side, but we’re waiting to see if money flows into accounts in the coming week, literally the first day or two of the coming week, to find out if payments were indeed initiated to bond folks at the level we need. It is certainly getting interesting.

The chatter is huge. Hello, Mr. Henderson. Then we’re just going to wait for Matt Lucas to join us.

Oh, wait a minute. Make certain I get this one right. Richard, happy birthday.

We also have day and night. Jonathan and Jen, Tina, relentless. Richard now in the house.

I don’t think. I don’t know. That’s muddy purple.

That’s a great question. Does Miles Franklin sell gift cards? That would be a neat way to gift some people. MS Stone, we live in an upside-down world.

My IRS debt was more than my AC repair. Yeah, I’m not surprised, MS Stone. We do live in an upside-down world.

Charlene’s birthday is going to be tomorrow. 69 going on 21 again. Happy birthday, Charlene.

Let’s see, Tommy. It’s all kicking off with her daughter and Tommy. Maybe you should tell folks what region you’re in, but I’m not surprised.

Just said it’s all kicking off with our doctors and engineers that arrived on dinghies as India and Pakistan battle con. Yeah, it’s I know that there that the unrest between Pakistan and India is definitely heating up. Let’s see.

Local bank is down tonight, 11 p.m. to 530 a.m. for maintenance. We got a lot of them between now and end of May that have said they’re going to be down for days as they upgrade every part of their banking system. We have a lot of folks upgrading starting now and through the month of May.

A lot of you folks have shared your internal emails from the banks letting you know what’s going on, what updates, et cetera. Oh, Happy Hound, I’m glad you said that. She is in.

I don’t have an update this morning, but I got an update yesterday evening post-surgery. Surgery went well. She was already 100% coherent, ready to roll.

But I don’t know how she’s holding up this morning physically yet. I don’t have an update. She does, folks.

She does watch these things. So if you want to say hello, she often does. She definitely watches anything Zester’s in.

So, you know, if you want to say hello or well wishes, please do. Please give her the well wishes. Ah, now we get to have a little bit of fun until it’s news time, news time.

And we do have some fun stuff in the news. I’m just looking forward to hanging out with my buddy, Lucas, who thumped Matt this morning. Of course I would.

Yeah, well, I mean, he beat you yesterday, but I, you know, understanding is you were busy. Some kind of kid’s school function. Yeah, yeah.

And, you know, it is what it is. But, you know, what’s crazy is that they have on this end of the year stuff. They have them at the weirdest times.

You know what I mean? Like, it’s like, oh, yeah, we’re going to have it between, you know, nine and nine thirty. The next one is between ten forty five and eleven fifteen. It’s like throughout the day.

It’s like how do even most parents. How are they even able to make. Yeah, it does make it difficult.

Hold on. And a Bandini. Yes.

Zester talks often about XRP, where to buy it. He’s got videos on where to get it. Just look for the crazy kryptonite on YouTube.

All right. Diversion there. I always notice that when like they can’t do it like right before you pick them up from school, right after you drop them off at school so that the parent can like, no, no, no.

It’s got it. It’s got to take the entire work day. I mean, don’t get me wrong.

Your kids are worth it. End of the year. I totally understand that.

Same time was a school. You make you pick and choose. Think about it on the other front.

You know, most of the time during the year when all these activities are, you know, say this, you know. Oh, whatever. And the thing is, all of the activities are after school.

So being that they’re after school, these teachers are getting in at 7 a.m. And they’re not leaving the school until seven, eight, nine o’clock at night for most of the school. So, like, I mean, I do get it because they do work super long hours. I really don’t think you appreciate them and for what they do.

I’m just looking forward to management school level because I know a lot of fantastic teachers. I’m looking for their management structure to improve. Hey, Mark.

Yep. I do feel spotty, but I’m going through this. I tell you, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried it.

Driving through the mountains, I have zero cell service right now. You know, I’ve tried it often and have noticed that cell service kind of sucks. Well, no, what I’m saying is I put the Starlink Mini in the dash.

No way. Yeah. Then to my car, I put the Starlink Mini in the dash.

And as I’m driving, I can pull 80 to 200 megasecond of Internet. That really is amazing while you’re just driving, too. I mean, this whole Elon Musk thing is pretty cool.

It is. It is. The only thing is that they’re space.

They’re what? Guys, he is a little spotty while he’s in the mountains. But driving with the Starlink. I just got these trees and it will be good.

Oh, okay. I’m still just impressed that it even works that well. An area that normally you would have nothing.

I mean, it’s pretty cool. Hey, Matt. Hey, Mark.

How you doing? Lucas was telling us about he’s driving in the mountains in order to talk with us because there’s no cell service. He has his Starlink Mini in the dash of his truck. Oh, really? Yeah.

So he’s like getting Internet. Okay. Like driving down the road with no cell service.

That’s awesome. Yeah. It is.

And you know what? If things go bad, I still think the Starlink is going to allow people to be able to communicate with each other via, you know, say like WhatsApp or some of these other apps that are still going to be proficient, even if you can’t, you know, use iMessage and all that other stuff. I still think there’s plenty of opportunities and options out there. Yeah.

Once they lower, and I forget when it is, I think it’s next year when they lower some of the Starlink satellites can be allowed to lower their orbit. And then your T-Mobile phone will automatically, when you don’t have normal cell phone service, it’ll just use Starlink. So, I mean, as long as you can see the sky.

I thought that was going to start happening first. Or I thought it was going to happen sooner. I thought it was going to happen this year.

I was hoping it was going to happen sooner. But, you know, Musk ran into having supported Trump. He ran into more regulatory issues than normal.

They used to love him and help make things happen. Then they decided it was better to get in his way, but still moving forward. Gotcha.

Yeah. There’s definitely some big things on the horizon. That’s for sure.

Oh, man. Some of the new tech. It’s going to be fun.

Scary. Fun. We just got to watch it, make certain it’s used for good.

No, I agree. I totally agree. Hey, can I ask you a question about that Starlink, you guys? Yeah, absolutely.

Hey, before we get in, I’d love to get into some of this stuff. But I would, as always, you are a fantastic replacement for Matt when he is not able to join us. Would you be able to kind of run through? Well, now I actually have Matt.

He can tell us about the special. What? Perfect. I know.

Bring him on, man. He’s snuck in on you. He’s snuck in on you.

He’s snuck in on you like a squirrel in October. Oh, he’s like a ninja. No, I like squirrels.

Can you guys hear me? October, stealing the nuts. We can hear you, Matt. Can you hear me, Lucas? Oh, OK.

He don’t want to hear me. Actually, I didn’t think about it because the way Lucas has joined, he may not be able to hear you, Matt. I can’t, actually.

Uh-oh. So, do you want me to get out, let Matt do, and then I’ll rejoin? Would that be easier? No, no. Just hang around.

Just take a cue from Mark. Yeah. All right.

Big Matt, tell us how to get in there, and then we’re going to go back to talking. OK. You go to, excuse me, thecbdgurus.com. T-H-E-C-B-D-G-U-R-U-S dot com.

And then you get into the site, and you’ll see wholesale on the top there on your computer or your phone or your Starlink, I think. And you’ll see Mark Z. And then when you get into Mark Z, if you have to put in a code in that box there, you go, you put in lowercase K-R-A-M-C-B-D. And that comes from K-R-A-M, Mark backwards.

1. So that’s what it is. K-R-A-M-C-B-D backwards, or excuse me, frontwards, lowercase.

And then you’re in the specials. OK. And for the specials this week, everybody gets a 12% discount.

But you have to put it in. OK. So you got to put in M-A-R-K-Z-1-2.

And then you get the discount. OK. And then we’re also giving out currency at $50, $100, and $150.

And I get $50, it says 3,000 dinar. And at 100, you get 30,000 dong and 5,000 dinar. And then 10,000 dinar and 30,000 dong and 150.

Now, that’s after you take your discount out and your shipping. So you can’t add shipping into the 50 to get to 50. OK.

If it’s 58 bucks, you didn’t make it because we don’t count shipping. OK. And we’ve done that all the way through.

So not including shipping and discounts, it’s got to be 50 or 100 or 150. OK. That’s clear.

The only reason I went over that, Mark, is because we actually had a couple questions about that. And we usually don’t at all. And I don’t know if somebody just pulled our chain or whatever.

But yeah. So anyways, if you have a question or a text, it’s 612-412-8343. Wendy’s standing by.

And Amy is not in the wings. Amy is camping. And Amy is probably nursing a nice little sleep in this morning because she probably partied last night.

Good for her. Good for Amy. Yeah.

She deserved it. She got a nice little new camper. And she’s out with her buddy just having a ball.

But I guess I’ll stand by if Wendy gets too busy. But I think she can handle it. She’s pretty damn good, Mark.

She’s really good. I may be biased. Yeah, exactly.

There you go. OK. And if you have any text questions, Wendy, if you don’t text me and say, hey, I want to put an order in, you’re just easier just calling the number 612-412-8343.

If she’s on the other line and she’s doing an order, just leave a message. She’ll get right back to you. OK.

And let’s see. Now for the specials. And, you know, I would have had the drinks out.

The first one we got in there is I would have had the drinks out a while back, but we sold them all out. So I called my guy and he said, yeah, I can give you some of the ones with our label on them, you know. So it’s the same exact product.

It’s just we put our label on it. So we have the 10 milligram orange and cherry flavor. It’s $5 a can.

We don’t ship to Hawaii or Alaska. And so get in there and order. We got 360 of each right now.

But anyways, let’s see. We’ve got the 35 milligram broad spectrum peppermint or natural, $28. Miracle Gold gummies.

We’ve got ACV gummies. We got mushroom, 60 count, four mushroom gummies. We got the five matrix capsule.

And we also have the lion’s mane, the turkey tail. And let’s see. We got the coffee with the CBD and the mushrooms in it.

We got our regular gummies back up. They were down for a day. But we got some in.

So we got the regular gummies, $25. The THC 10 counts, the THC 30 counts. And we got the gummies by the flavor, five milligrams and 10 count, the 120 count.

And then we got 7,000 broad spectrum peppermint at $45. Miracle Golds, Delta 8s, THC 14,000. That’s a great oil.

And then 1500. It’s the same cannabinoids in there, but it’s a one ounce instead of a two ounce. But if you ever want to take a little, I don’t know, a little spot during the day, a half a dropper of that, you’ll get some CBDs.

Plus you get a little bit of THC to relax. You know, whatever’s happening. But don’t drive with it.

And then we’ve got our super immunity in the bottle. And then we got all the other products if you need them. And that’s it.

And we have, we got the four soaps. Oh, I got to tell Scottie to put them in stock. But yeah, everything’s good.

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What do we have in? Do we have a missing scent in on the soap? Let me see here. Why is there? Let me see.

No, no, no. I’m just curious. When you said you got to have Scottie put that in.

Let me check here real quick. This is, I can really check faster. I just push this button.

It was good to see the ACV gummies back in there too on the specials. Yeah. And it’s, it’s, we, all of a sudden they went out of stock.

You know, we got this system and it just automatically does it. But we had, I don’t know, we only got like six, 700 of them in the warehouse. You know what I mean? Yeah.

So it’s, it’s there, you know, you guys, if you need it, it’s there. Everything’s there. All right.

Back to Lucas in the star mobile. Yeah. The, uh, was going to be like Knight Rider.

Does the thing go? No, no, no. You don’t get the little red light at the front of it. Does it talk? Is its name kit? Well, it looks like he kidded right off the side of the mountain or something, but I hope he’s got it muted.

Oh, it’s muted. Okay. Okay.

I’ll send him a text while you’re okay. Give me. It’s super weird.

Cause I can’t hear anything. He says. Really? Yeah.

No, it’s like, it’s like, uh, I don’t even know when I went to even talk. Cause I have no idea if he’s talking or not. Did he join normal? Oh yeah.

He joined normal. Ask him if it’s good or bad. He can’t hear me.

Mark. Matt wants to know if it’s good or bad that you can’t hear him. Lucas.

Uh, bad. I actually enjoy Matt’s voice. Is that weird? Does that make a sound? Tell him.

Thank you. He says, thank you. Emoji.

Oh boy. Uh, so, uh, Nancy, the, uh, ACV is already back in stock. It was never truly out.

It was a part of the new system. How goes settling into the new system? Learning the ins and outs. Um, it’s go ahead.

Lucas, let him talk. So how’s that going? Lucas? Oh, we lost Lucas. Maybe he’s going to come in.

The new system. Um, you know, it’s, uh, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a work in progress, but we’re going to, we’re going to, I’m going to really get after it the next couple of weeks. You know, I’m taking it under my wing.

I haven’t, I really haven’t had too much to do. That was that part of it, Mark, but I’m going to fix it all up. I’m going to fix things up here.

Um, I’m swinging the sledgehammer around in circles. Trust me. I’m a little worried about that one.

Yeah. But Lucas, I was asking Matt, how it was going, settling into the new software system. For who? Uh, just for him, for them, for the whole thing.

As everybody gets used to it. It’s difficult, but with anything new, you’re going to have difficulties initially. And then it kind of, you know, kind of levels itself off.

So no, it’s good. It’s good. I’m just glad that I can hear Matt now.

I thought it was good to get out and get back in. Can you hear me? Oh yeah. I can hear everyone now.

I got a serious question on the Starlink before we go any further. Is there any way that that little device could be worked into like a hat you put on your head? Oh, well, so, so even I, yeah, but it would look super weird. Um, super awkward, super weird.

Well, what actually would be better because it’s literally the size actually smaller than my laptop. So what I have seen people do is, um, as long as you have a little power bank, you plug it in and people attach it to the backside of their backpacks, like the outside of their backpacks. And then, you know, it works really well.

And then, you know, when you walk around, hike around, I mean, you can be anywhere and, uh, you know, always kind of have that internet access, which honestly, Mark, you know, where a lot of people use this for is in, you know, when they’re out in the middle of nowhere hunting one because it’s dangerous out here, especially with the mountain lions and just the natural dangers that occur. Um, and then being able to get ahold of someone. So, uh, a friend actually, uh, probably saved his life.

He spent three days, um, because he broke his ankle while trying to, uh, when he was moose hunting and he, and he was about nine miles away from his truck. Oh, so, uh, you know, in those situations, it’s like people like, ah, do you really need internet out there? It’s like, guys, there, there are situations, uh, where, trust me, you want, it’s, you know, it becomes a life or death situation. Um, if you don’t, and you still want to be able to, you know, have the, uh, you know, convenience of being able to get ahold of someone in those scenarios.

But, uh, you know, there are some traditionalists that are like, well, if you die, you die. And I don’t think you’re ever going to get away from those, but, uh, yeah, no, I, I wouldn’t, um, be opposed to, uh, and it allows you to go a little bit further, right? Like, Hey, Ooh, I’m not going to be able to get out of that scenario, but you know, with this, it’s like, yeah, I’m going to take the chance because I know I have the ability, um, to reach out to someone if need be. No, it’s huge.

Somebody was just saying a lot of the fishermen in Anchorage have them. Oh no, this is Greg saying a lot of the fishermen catch can Alaska have them on their boats. That makes huge sense.

You bet it does. Hey, out there working on a remote mine, you know, playing, uh, current video games, having fun in the evenings. Yeah, it’s really cool.

Game changer, game changing technology. Um, Fran was wanting to know if there’s any gummies without sugar. This is one that we hit all the time, but I, so yesterday we had somebody ask cause you had mentioned making them with something different.

Like all you told, I forget what it was, but, um, leaving that one, uh, one friend, they do not have much noise sugar to start with, but, uh, there will be a, uh, well it’s technically it’s legally an NSA, no sugar added. The only sugar that’s in it would be the fruit puree. Um, but, uh, they’re made.

Um, and I know we talked about it, you know, a week or two ago. Um, just going to get, uh, Scotty and those guys to spin up a label. Um, it’ll actually start out as a vitamin gummy.

Um, it’ll be D three and K two, just like a, you know, just a vitamin supplement gummy and it’ll be allulose as opposed to sugar. And on the outside, instead of a sugar coating, we’re going to, uh, we decided to go with a citrus peel. They’re kind of like the, uh, the fiber.

I think they actually called it citrullina fiber or, uh, citrus fiber. Um, but it’s pretty much just like, uh, the fiber from the orange peel. And we’re going to use that on the outside.

And so we’re going to do this first. We’re going to see how people like him. Um, I really liked the gummy a lot.

I honestly, Matt hasn’t even tried them. I haven’t even sent any of Matt yet. So, um, wait, so I’m not supposed to tell them how good they are.

Yes. Correct. Okay.

I won’t say a word off. We’ll not say a word. Um, but yeah, no, no, no sugar added.

It’ll be good. I’ll send them to you, Mark. I’ll send some to Matt.

Um, and then more importantly, we’ll do this batch, um, so that people can give us feedback on what they like and what they don’t. But I think it’ll be a good turning point. Uh, cause me and Matt have talked about maybe doing some switch overs on a good portion of them.

Uh, if people really like them to this allulose recipe. Okay. See, taking care of the folks out there that need to watch their sugar intake.

I like it. Yes. Uh, one happy hound.

Just, uh, I guess Matt’s created a monster here. Happy hand was like question. I don’t see the party pack or the one 20 count jar.

When will these items be restocked? Um, 50 pack map those bags that you wanted. Yeah. Those were out.

And I think we have some coming in on Monday, right? Yeah. There are some coming out on Monday. Yep.

So they’ll be back. We’ll have the fifties out there. It’s, uh, the party pack was, uh, whose idea was that? That was Sid’s idea.

He works with us. And, uh, but I think we’re going to have the same product in just a 50 coming up here on that. But maybe the party pack will come out for the summer, but I don’t know.

It’s a big thing in Wisconsin, especially in, you know, at the lake in the summer, but Oh, I can see that. I can see party packs being popular in the summer. Yeah.

That was Sid’s idea because we call it a lake pack or the beach day pack or something. Yeah. Yeah.

That’s what it was. It had a bunch of people in his cabin. I think they went through, uh, I don’t know, it was like 300 of those one counts in a weekend, you know? So he’s, you know, uh, I think, yeah, he says we’ve got to make the party pack, the mats party pack or whatever.

And I wasn’t even at the party. Hey, look, you were, you were there. If the pack was there, you were there.

But they are my favorites. I do love them. You know, it’s, uh, I, well, I don’t love them.

I like them. I only love people and animals and, uh, and, uh, certain. I love animals.

I tolerate people. Exactly. You know, I learned that from my, my great teacher, football coach in high school.

He says, love people, maybe animals, but don’t see a love of food because it just, it brings down the word love. That’s what he used to say. And I said, oh, okay.

Okay. Coach. Okay.

What’s next. Okay. You know, but anyway, yeah, it was a good coach.

You know, I found out my football coach. I didn’t even know it until 11th grade that, uh, it was my, uh, my girlfriend’s, uh, uh, cousin. I had asked to God, you know, and then, and once, and once that connection was solid with her and him and my teacher and coach, oh my God, we got away with murder.

Me and my wife. I mean, we didn’t have to show up for anything. No boy.

Except, you know, just taking it easy, you know? So, uh, Pam wants to know what lotion 2000 is best for, for, uh, for, for muscle. Um, just relaxing, irritated skin, sunburns, pools, the lotion. That’s one of my favorite products you guys have.

The reason I really like it. It just soaks into your skin so fast, you know, which is very nice. I mean, Lucas, what do you think of that? Huh? I mean, I, I chuckled to myself when you said that.

I like it. It penetrates that barrier of the skin. So that means getting into you.

I love that. The lotion on the skin. Um, no, it was, you know, what’s really nice.

What, what I like about it is the, the lack of residue. Like I can not stand it. Uh, when you put a lotion on and you get that massively oil, oily feeling that just doesn’t go away.

Um, yeah, not, not a big fan. So one thing I do like is that it does absorb quickly. Um, and then it doesn’t leave a massive residue.

Now you will get a little bit of the residue. Um, it’s not like a complete absorption, which is fine because you want some of the, uh, CBG and CBD to kind of stay on the skin to be able to really kind of permeate, um, and penetrate that, uh, the, the first layer of skin. So you can get, uh, kind of that first level endocannabinoid system, uh, to really hit it.

So it’s kind of good that it stays on your skin. Plus the CBG, which Mark, you know, is awesome is that it’s an antimicrobial. So being able to stay on the skin, it kind of gives your, your, uh, body another layer of protection.

And, uh, so, uh, yeah. So, but again, you don’t have that crazy oily feeling. Um, it had the great absorption rate.

Uh, so yeah. Um, and then T-Bean wanted to know where to find the THC drinks. They are the very first thing in specials right now.

Um, 10 milligram THC sparkling water. They really are good. It’s like a flavored soda water, uh, is best way to, uh, describe it or sparkling water.

It’s, uh, it’s good stuff. I really liked your THC drinks. I wish they were more reasonable to ship down here.

A quick question on the water soluble. Sid, can I interrupt you guys for just a sec? And this was a question from Sid. It’s everything’s related to the lake and the parties.

He was wondering, uh, during the week here, if you could take like, uh, a half a gallon of water. Okay. And then put a bunch of water, not a punch, but some water soluble in there.

And then they keep the vegetables on the picnic table and the water and people just grab them. You know what I mean? They’re keeping them a little cooler. Would that water soak into the vegetable? You know, they’re like the salary, the carrots, you know, they’re kind in water, you know, do you guys follow that? Yeah.

I mean, the residue will get on the outside. They probably, the thing is the water. Oh man.

Yeah. It probably actually would, um, into the water side, especially the concentrate. Um, just because it’s, you know, emulsified in, so it may be able to break, but each, each vegetable is going to be different in the size of molecule that it absorbs.

So if it doesn’t, if it doesn’t absorb the medium to large, um, like I think one that would, would probably be celery, um, just because, but you’d have to dry them out. That’s the thing. It depends if the cells are, you know, hypotonic or isotonic.

So you’d have to make, you’d have to make the, uh, cells in the vegetable hypertonic so that then it would actually be forced to absorb the water, but you’d have to force a hypertonic situation with the cells. Hmm. Okay.

That’s like, I have no idea what you’re doing into this part of the show during the week. And he can listen to that. Okay.

Thanks. That was good. No, but Hey, if you want to get into the site and find the stuff, everybody, you go to the CBD gurus.com. You get into the wholesale Marxi wholesale, and you put in lowercase on the code word, K R M C B D. And then you get in there.

If you want to order, just put, make sure you put in the discount code before you check out. And then, uh, you get all the currencies after, uh, shipping and, uh, discounts. So if it’s 58 bucks, including shipping, you didn’t make the 50 cause, uh, you know, shipping’s nine 99.

You understand what I’m dealing with. We get where you’re going there. You get where I’m going.

Get where you’re going on that one. Yep. That’s right.

Um, Colleen was like, didn’t you used to have a gummy with CBG eight in it? Um, we used to. Doesn’t our mushroom have it in it, Lucas, or what am I talking about? No, we used to have a, uh, CBG, a, uh, gummy. Um, the taste was quite.

On that one. And so we ended up just going to a, uh, soft gel and now to a gel cap. Um, that’ll also probably cause I don’t think you have any of those till Monday.

Do you Matt? Yeah, that’s true. Maybe I’ll, I’ll get, well, not maybe I’ll get Scotty to get a picture of it and put it out there. So, yeah.

It’s going to be a strong one too, Mark. Cause I, it’ll be the same as the gummy. So the gel cow or the soft gel was five milligrams CBG, a five CBD.

And the mushroom or the gummy was 25. So the. The gel cap will also be 25 CBG, a 25 CBD.

Yeah. All right. No.

Lucas, did you just age or was it the Starlink? Cause it sounded like you just got 20 years older than you were. But it’s actually the road. The kids love this part of the road and the mountains because then when they talk, it sounds like they over-exaggerate it and make it sound like they’re Darth Vader.

Oh, that’s great. Um, one happy birthday, Daniel 63. That’s an awesome thing.

But, uh, Wendy is saying that there is 120 count five milligram THC available now, but I don’t see anywhere to find it in the back office. So I’m thinking that needs some clarification before anybody tries buying one or selling one. Oh no.

It’s on the specials. You guys, it’s, uh, when you go on the specials, you get down, uh, it’s, uh, Ooh, the 14th number 14. We got, uh, we got grape, we got strawberry, orange, pineapple and raspberry.

They’re all in stock. Yep. The one 20.

So you guys would like the two and a half bite one and a half and, uh, just put it in your pocket. No, I’m just kidding. Just set it on the counter fridge or whatever.

Grab it later. You know, Hey Mark, Matt, Matt just created something. Instead of sugar coated gummies, we’re going to have a lint covered gummies from in your pocket.

Anyway, I was a kid. That was the biggest thing, man. Like pieces of candy out of the wrapper.

I’d leave in my pockets and my shirt, my pants. And I had to have the shirt with the pocket in front. Cause I went to a Catholic school the first six years, but I, I liked those uniforms, man.

I, it was easy anyway. Candy in the pockets. Yeah.

Big bags of them. May I, I may have to order one of those. Yeah.

There you go. Right on. Order them up.

90 bucks. You save, uh, what do you save there? I think you save, uh, yeah. It’s like getting 18 free or no 20 free because, um, yeah, for 90 bucks, you could only get, uh, 10 packs.

And that’s the equivalent of, uh, 12 packs and a big bag. It’s a great bag too. You can almost carry it.

Like, uh, Like it’s as big as a backpack, but, and you know, when you’re out there hiking with that star length, that would be a good one. No, I wouldn’t. If you had a lot of people, cause that’d be too many gummies.

I don’t think I’ve tried the pineapple. Pineapple dynamite. It’s a good flavor.

It really is. And it’s, uh, it’s underrated because people don’t order pineapples much as in the, but when you taste the pineapple made by Lucas’s company, it’s awesome. It really is.

Yeah. You know, there, I was going to say my favorites here, but I don’t want to because, uh, I actually, they’re all good. They’re all good.

Matt, do you know why people don’t like the pineapple? Why? Color has nothing to do with the flavor. Oh, okay. Because it’s because the pineapple fruit puree does not have a robust color profile.

And so when people look at it, it does not look enticing because us as Americans have been programmed to associate bright colors with something that tastes good. Have you noted, I mean, like you were way ahead of this move, not to use the artificial colors and flavors. Um, I mean, I guess you were like, you know, part of the RFK group before, uh, even hit it because you are already using all natural and not using the dyes and you’re right.

It doesn’t have the same vibrant colors, but it’s way healthier. We’ve been doing this for almost six and a half years. Without the artificial flavors and that stuff, because yeah, I, it’s just, I’m like, why even use it? And people are like, well, cause they look better.

I’m like, but they taste great. And I was like, once people taste them, you know, just like Matt with the pineapple, he’s like, I love them. But when you look at them, you’re like, I mean, there’s nothing really like pretty to look at, but the tape, the taste is there.

Well, I mean, you know, Matt’s not the prettiest thing to look at, but you know, Are you saying that if you bite into Matt, it’s going to be delightful. Oh my God. What is this? Like a Oregon trail gone wrong? Gosh, I’m this Oregon trail.

Who does it? Student knows Buffalo, baby. Yeah. Well, you had to, yeah.

Of course you had to bring up the negative depressing part of it. Yeah. Right.

And just popped in and said, I just arrived. My hubby had a mild stroke this week. Recommendation for support.

We’re working with the doctor. I immediately was going, you should ask your doctor about lion’s mane because they have some fantastic ones to help with that neurological recovery. Any, any thoughts there, Lucas or Matt? No, I was actually going to go the same route.

I was like, take the lion’s mane, you know, talk to your doctor about it and be like, Hey, like, you know, can you work with us on a, you know, a dosing regimen and, you know, figuring this out so we can kind of work together. But I would definitely go that route first. Definitely that route.

Best for T8, best THC for pain. Is that the 14,000, probably the water soluble. If you’re trying to get it and get it quickly, it just doesn’t last as long in the system.

Your thoughts on that one? Yeah. The water soluble, it definitely works quicker, but you’re only going to see probably about a two hour, you know, act with water soluble as opposed to the oil in like say the gummy or the 14,000 tincture, which is going to give you, you know, roughly a, you know, four to six hour window. So, you know, but it obviously takes, you know, an hour plus to kick in.

So it really just depends, you know, and we do have some people that cut the dose in half and, you know, take a tad bit of water soluble and a tad bit of oil. Yeah. To get the end of the system, but then it lasts longer.

That’s a, it’s no bad way to go at all. Misunderstood’s birthday. Misunderstood.

Happy birthday. Trying to keep up with those. I mean, did you ever think we’d have that many? I didn’t never thought we’d have a crew this big.

Matt, how about you? When you were pulled over on the side of the road? You mean at the beginning? You mean the people listening? Yeah. Like, Oh, yeah. When I first heard you on the show, it was, I was out driving.

And I remember that it was like 36 on the number and I was listening to you and I thought, Hey, this is pretty good guy, you know, cause I’d be out driving for about eight hours, you know? And, uh, yeah. So it was fun to listen to. And I just kept listening.

And then finally I sent you an email and then first time I talked to you, I was in that field. And, uh, cause I couldn’t get reception. That was kind of weird, but, uh, yeah.

Should I had a star link? Of course that wasn’t an option back then. Yeah, exactly. That’s been some years back, you know, that’ll be a commercial probably in about three years, it’ll be built into a piece of candy or something.

Should I had a star link after they get lost, you know, so they didn’t eat their is, would they be able to make that small enough where you could put the chip in your hand? No, I’m just kidding. I wouldn’t do that. I mean, could they, I mean, they’re going to put it in the phone.

Yeah. Okay. So I, I was just kidding about that, but I do want it on the top of a Mark Z baseball cap.

Then you can just talk. It’ll be a little microphone on the bill, you know? Great. That would be great.

Walking around, just doing the show for that deal. Yeah. Um, let’s see, I got a couple of quick ones and we only have a few minutes left.

So I’m going to try to hit you quickly. Lucas, how much pet CBD oil of the 1500 should I give my dogs? One dog is 98 pounds. The other 80 pounds.

Where would you start with pets start lower. They’re more sensitive folks. Yeah.

I would start with probably, uh, just, you know, of the 1500 that we sell probably, uh, you know, just two or three drops. Um, now granted it will uptake in their system much faster than it does ours. So you’ll probably see something in probably 30 minutes, 30 to 35 minutes.

Um, and then, you know, maybe give them a drop more or two drops more and then kind of work your way up. But I would stay probably in that, you know, three to five drops, um, realm for each one, you know, but again, start off at two or three drops and kind of work your way up. Cause you’ll probably find that one dog, uh, the perfect like is amazing at two drops and it may take four drops on the other dog.

Um, just like us. I mean, I can take X amount of, uh, you know, let’s say the 14,000 feel, you know, unbelievable amount of, you know, relief from pain. And then, you know, you might mark, you might have to have two times as much as I do.

So we’re all different and we, you just gotta, you know, kind of see what works the best. Um, and you do, you work into it and fill out your pet because every, everyone, just like every human being slightly different. Um, I might be able to say, Hey, this is what I’m using.

You may have better luck tweaking something with your, uh, metabolism and your biology. Catherine just said, I take your Turkey tail and lion’s mane. Now should I replace it with your multi mushroom supplement? Uh, I guess it would depend on specifically what she’s chasing, but if it’s more of a profile, if it’s more of a, just a dietary to improve the net kind of makes sense.

What are your thoughts there? Lucas run that by me one more time. So I can kind of just, all right. Catherine says I take your Turkey tail and lion’s mane.

Now should I replace with your multi mushroom supplement? Like the five matrix mushroom, just the mushroom gummies. Multiple. I don’t know if you would replace it because the Turkey tail, lion’s mane capsules are highly dosed.

Whereas on the five matrix mushroom, you have a little bit less potency. So what I would suggest is probably supplement you’re already existing, um, capsules with the matrix. That makes sense to me.

I probably wouldn’t replace it because I take, um, pretty high dosages of, uh, like the lion’s mane and I still supplement with the five matrix mushroom gummies. That makes sense. I take the five matrix is just like, uh, that, that’s just like my standard daily, whatever.

And then if I’m feeling, uh, something coming on or feel like my body needs something, that’s when I supplement with a specific ones. It’s just how I do it for me. Me too.

I take, uh, I take a matrix with my mushroom coffee in the morning. Then you don’t get so jittery. Cordyceps and lion’s mane help with that.

Yep. Well, you know what? The time is getting late. You’re right.

You’re right. Thanks for having us on everybody and have a great day. Thank Lucas for jumping through extra hoops while driving through the mountains, just to be able to talk with us.

That’s how important we are. That’s how bad he needed a friend. That was nice.

Very nice. Hey, don’t worry, Lucas. Matt just can’t quit you.

So you always got a friend. It was like, I was like, geez, Matt, be a little bit more, uh, you know, uh, you know what? Let’s just happy. It’s the weekend.

We don’t have to work for a couple of days. It’s going to be enjoyable. So have fun, Mark.

I’m looking forward to it. I’m going to, uh, smoke some ribs, uh, and, uh, read a book and take a nap. That’s, that’s my big plans.

Sounds good. Well, have a good weekend, Mark. Thanks guys.

That was Matt and Lucas. It was a pleasure to have them in here. Uh, they make, uh, the program possible.

Um, uh, Carla, I do two matrix. I do two matrix a day, um, as my standard. Thanks.

Should I go on my plan? Lorna absolutely go on your plan trip to Africa in the month of May. I would not put any, we do not know the timing. It could be in May.

It’ll still be here when you get back. It’s not going away. Um, exchange when you return, don’t put your life on hold.

Uh, if we all put our life on hold, we’d probably all be just lost, bankrupt, clueless. I mean, you gotta keep living until this happens. It’s a win.

Uh, so you gotta, you gotta survive until the system resets. And we don’t know that timing could be first of the week. A lot of people out there believe it.

Um, based on the chatter of bonds and banks, I think it’s highly plausible. It could be months. We don’t know for certain.

I tend to think sooner, but I’m an optimist. Just a quick one on that front for those folks. Keep living.

Whatever it takes. Keep living. Let’s see.

Uh, wait. Uh, yeah, Jeff, I’ll just make, I thought I was afraid. I saw you were back in ICU.

Keep recovering, buddy. Keep recovering. Uh, man 51.

He can still ship to all 50 states. He can’t wait to be able to ship to Canada. Just kidding.

I saw that 51 state thing, the joke. Uh, anyways. What time is dinner? Oh, Chrissy, I’m going to eat about six.

Uh, let’s see. T-L-Cali-R-N. What happens if you don’t exchange with a window of 30 to 90 days as a rate go down? My understanding is, yes, your rate will go down if you’re allowed to exchange at all.

Uh, yeah, he’s, uh, he’s going to probably have bad thinking on that front. But they’ll let us know when they’re going to shut it down. They’ll let us know if they’re going to stop taking bills.

So don’t panic. You got time. Too many people panicking.

I can make, wait, is this question for me, Booger? Yes, I can make some fantastic dipping sauces for chicken wings. Probably my favorite is like a honey Thai sauce that I make. Ooh, I like cooking.

I do like cooking. Uh, John, I’m looking forward to seeing you at Trump Doral. Looking forward to it.

See Jan and Jack there. Hello, Molly. All right, I know we need to get to, uh, more news.

Let me focus, guys. Not a huge amount overnight as we are waiting for confirmation. I’m not certain I’m going to get much on the bond side until first of the week.

Find out if the initiating transfers and wires did occur or not. Got a number of people that have signed a lot of paperwork that are waiting for those funds to be fully spendable. That expectation is early in our week this coming week after much activity this past week.

Uh, we are, uh, sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for news on that front. Let me see if I can find my news banner, which should already have been up. We do have an Iraqi delegation, uh, holding talks in D.C. with, uh, Bank of International Settlements, the IMF, you name it.

They are having sit downs. They weren’t. Now, guys, they were there for an annual, uh, function, but this is on top of.

In other words, these are additional meetings that they have set up while this is occurring specifically with that delegation from Iraq. We have seen a lot of, uh, chatter, talk, movement, articles, uh, about that renewed push that they have cleared the next hurdle, uh, in full ascension to the World Trade Organization. And it is final negotiations before they are a full-blown member.

Many have stated for years now that we would have a rate when they ascend, uh, or right before they ascend. So these, uh, these talks to me are, uh, very encouraging. Rubio, an Iraq free of malign influences vital to stability of the region.

Again, they keep pushing sovereign. Sovereign. Uh, let’s see.

On Saturday today, United States Marco Rubio renewed his country’s position in support of Iraq’s sovereignty to maintain stability in the Middle East. That sovereignty means maybe partnered with the U.S., but sovereign and independent from the U.S. In other words, they are their own country. We’re here to work with them and support them as much as they would like.

He added that he had all valuable dialogue with the Iraqi deputy. This is a JD. Had a valuable dialogue with Iraqi prime minister and foreign minister of foul Hussein and commented his efforts and D escalating tensions of promoting constructive dialogue in the region.

So these meetings would have been going on in, uh, moving again in DC as well. There’s a lot going on that is unusual in the number of meetings that the delegation is having in DC with the administration with World Bank’s Treasury, you name it. Highly unusual and very encouraging.

Another encouraging one that we touched on the potential for this week that is now moved as that into, uh, making the road map and plan to bring it to fruition. Iraq discussing the rehabilitation of the oil pipeline through Syria. The Iraqi national intelligence services led an official delegation to Damascus under the direction of prime minister Mohammed al-Sudani.

They want to strengthen their counterterrorism. They want to work together for Syrian, um, stability, independence. Of course, uh, after just the mess that we have had in Syria, uh, for, for years now, this really is encouraging.

It also brings stability to a region that could become a breeding ground for ISIS and terrorists. They’re hitting this one head on, folks. It is very encouraging to watch, uh, Iraq step into a serious leadership role in the region.

All part of becoming safe, stable, so they can raise that rate. But now, I, I, I want to, do want to point this out, guys. They’re not making all these changes just so they can change a rate.

No, changing a rate is just part of increasing the prosperity of their people and, uh, valuing themselves for what they are worth. Um, it just happens to be what we watch most often. This isn’t all about making us some money.

This is about doing what is right for the, uh, Iraqi people. I wanted to make certain I said that. I don’t know if we touch on that one enough.

Uh, that one’s just the, the dollars that can come in. If you guys follow the geography of the region, being able to go straight Syria directly, uh, to the Mediterranean is, like, when it comes to shipping and oil shipping and stability for European oil access or, excuse me, energy access. Guys, this is huge.

This potential. You no longer have to worry about Houthis blowing up ships, et cetera. Um, you have safe, stable energy, uh, deliverance to a very troubled Europe right now.

And lo and behold, yet another one, the copper deposit of 20, over 20 million tons. We just found, uh, one of 17 million tons, uh, in the U S and oh my goodness. Now we’ve got a one up that one.

We just found 20 million tons of copper in China. Discovered an unlikely and unexpected location, a stunning geological revelation that has captivated mining experts worldwide. A massive copper deposit exceeding 20 million tons has been discovered in China’s Tibetan plateau.

It’s unexpected find, uh, represents one of the largest copper reserves ever documented, potentially reshaping global metal markets. Soon as we talk about the whole world moving to a commodity and metals based system, asset based system, we suddenly start finding all of these assets just magically. It’s crazy.

It’s almost like a heck of a coincidence, isn’t it? Heck of a coincidence. Uh, Ray, haven’t had a chance to watch the video, short video saying gold could get as high as 27,000 an ounce. Fixes a lot of the world’s problems to end the manipulation and revalue it.

Fixes a lot of their problems. And it’s pretty exciting because it brings sound money. Governments are going to hate it.

Well, all the Keynesian loving governments. Chinese delegation spotted entering treasury department demand photos be deleted. According to a report, there’ve been lots of confusion over the past weeks, whether Trump has or has not spoken to Xi Jinping to set trade negotiation talks in motion.

According to Trump, he has more than one. So we have a lot of people not want to admit what’s going on, that they are busy making deals. Well, here we have some receipts at around 7 a.m. on the 24th.

That would be two days ago, folks. A high-ranking official from the Chinese Ministry of Finance, equivalent to the Ministry of Planning and Finance, was seen entering the U.S. Treasury Department headquarters building in Washington, D.C., accompanied by about 10 attendants. Photo shows the Chinese attendants waiting for the meeting between the two sides.

They were wearing I.D. cards for attending the G20 finance ministers meeting. And their nationality was written as China on the I.D. cards. So we do know, regardless of what the press is saying, we do know for a fact that there are high-level meetings going on on the tariff subject, as we speak, ongoing.

The markets will—well, even, was it—I’m trying to remember which one of the— I want to say it was Mr. Rickards was saying that we could see a 20,000-point jump in the stock market if they settle these trade differences quickly. I mean, it could be just a huge boom. It could be a huge boom for all, not just the wealthy, not just the working class, but all, both, total.

Rain Man, I have not heard anything fun on CMKX. I was speaking with the CMKX contact this past week, and they’re saying they were just updating F&Ps again in preparation. They’re just waiting for permission to release, and that’s frustrating.

Just like we’re all waiting for this thing to go. It all goes at once. So, no, no, no, L. Strong, I do have a small fraction that have physical dollars.

I do not have enough for them to move forward. I have tracked a couple with physical dollars. They are the extreme minority, though.

That’s one of those I feel like I have to clarify every day, L. Strong. Nothing against you at all. I just, for some reason, I have to continually qualify that when people keep asking it.

I just guess it’s folks that don’t make the podcast often. All they get is the chatterboards, and the chatterboards are so blatantly wrong, more than right. And it’s not their fault.

He said, she said, who said. I tell you something, by the time you tell 10 people, and they tell 10 people, you get to the 100th person, and it rarely ever sounds like what the original person said. It is exciting, though.

Knowing that money has started that process, the question is, how quickly does it progress at this point? What does it mean to us on timing? We have, what, how many banks of late have suddenly told you they’re going to start exchanging? There isn’t an improved value, though, so when they’re going to exchange it, or start taking it and working with it, it is something to be excited about because they’re laying the framework, but it doesn’t mean you can go and exchange it, and your monetary issues are over yet. But the number of banks, businesses that have said they will be taking Vietnam, Iraqi currency, Indonesian currency, all the ones we’re looking for, those specifically, it does feel good to find out that they have set up systems for being able to exchange them, which is the perfect first step if a value is going to change. You have to be, you have to have the systems for dealing with them, and that’s what they put in place.

Now they need the increased value. Clinton, prayers. I hope and pray you are doing everything you can from all the alternatives to working with doctors to you name it.

And I pray you beat cancer. That is Clinton Van Well checking in. My bone cancer progression is now racing the RV.

Let’s see, five figure gold, five figure, I don’t think, and trust me, I’ve put a lot of thought in this one, Bobby, I don’t think gold running means inflation. I believe it is finally correcting for all the inflation we have had for many years while it has been suppressed. I think it would actually attain the value that it’s supposed to have based on what they have done to our monetary supply.

I don’t think you’re going to get that inflation on, because it’ll be fixed. It won’t be fiat. We should not see what many of you, well, some of you, are worried about when gold runs up.

Because in general, guys, what they’re referring to is the value of gold as opposed to the dollar or your local currency usually is reflective of the inflation. In other words, the reduced purchasing power. So the gold going up doesn’t mean it’s getting more valuable.

It means it’s correcting for your currency having been less valuable is the general consensus on that one. If we were in a full free market and they hadn’t been suppressing it, they weren’t selling any paper metals. And that is something you need to remember when you look at those valuations.

They are highly distorted because of paper. Let’s see. Great one here.

U.S. debt clock. Let’s see if we can get over to the metals. Oh, we’re already there.

Now it’s populating. All right. So your paper to silver ratio is 375.91. Let’s just call it 375.

For every 375 paper ounces, there is one physical ounce. So theoretically, if you wanted to have it in your pocket, you’d have to take the value of silver a day and multiply it by that. Your paper to gold ratio sitting at 131.37. Let’s just call it 131 to keep the math simple.

Let’s look at the value of metals today. Oh, messed that one up. Let’s try that one again.

Start with Miles Franklin. If I could just learn to spell, we’d all be set. So in order for me to get a physical ounce of gold right now, we’re talking about 3,325.

The problem is there’s 131 paper for every one of those physical single ounces. So just basic common sense is going to tell you that actual physical gold should be exponentially higher, maybe even as high as $400,000 an ounce because of manipulation, which should already be figured into the market. I guess I should probably do a chart type system set up on that so people can follow along the logic because it gets a little confusing.

Do you believe the information about the 150 trillion trust Trump’s going to release? Heidi wants to know. At first, I found it a little bit questionable until I started diving and then seeing so many very reputable news organizations who did the same thing I did, expecting to disprove it, suddenly going, wait a minute, there’s something to this and setting up interviews, etc., and doing a deep dive. I do think there is something to this fund that Trump is going to unleash, and I think it is very important with what they are doing first.

Doge is trying to clean things up. They’re going after folks that aren’t paying because they’ve got to create these folks. A lot of people are like, oh my God, if this is happening, why are they pushing people to repay student loans? Why are they pushing to repay this? They need us to understand that we have a duty to be fiscally responsible, not to take on debt we can’t take.

Yes, fraudulent stuff out there, I still expect that to go away, but what happens if everybody now believes they get a get out of jail free card? It’s going to teach them some really bad lessons. I very much believe that Trump is trying to get us responsible and then pull the trigger, and that’s what they’re doing right now in my book, in my opinion. I think it makes great sense.

Doesn’t mean you’re not still going to get that relief. It means that point needs to be made, or we will be right back in there. We’ll be like, ah, don’t worry about it.

Five, ten more years, there’ll be another magical erasure of debt. Let’s just spend it freely like it doesn’t exist. Let’s run up credit cards and leave somebody holding the bank.

No, they’ve got to pound it into our heads that we can’t do that, that we have got to be physically responsible. Or the new system will implode quickly. That’s my take on that one.

Rene, that’s just it. No, the paper goes away. When the gold revalues, the paper revalue with it.

Glint is actual gold. Glint is actual gold. They hold allocated 100% of the value is held in gold.

Huge difference. A lot of people worried about receipts. Guys, unless you have a bunch of it, you don’t need receipts.

You don’t need, if your currency is real, you don’t need letters, certificates, genuine, whatever. Those are sales gigs so that they can charge you a little extra for that cool little piece of paper that says this is real currency. It’s a great sales gig.

It doesn’t mean jack crap, but it’s a great sales gig. It’s one thing if you’re a collector series, like you got the little stamp that says that your comic book is in phenomenal condition or your Luigi card or whatever kind of card they got going on. Then the certificate makes a little bit of difference.

But let me ask you a question. When you go down to the local Piggly Wiggly and buy your little handbasket of groceries for 100 bucks, do they give you more credit for the $100 bill if it comes with a cool little certificate from your bank that says this is a certified $100 bill? Does it buy you any more groceries if you were to have one of those as opposed to if you don’t have one of those? This is a common sense thing. For common, everyday, in-circulation currencies, you don’t need a cool little certificate stamp.

I’ve been told repeatedly, because cash is a bear bond, that you don’t have to have proof of purchase unless you have large amounts. That is simply to adhere to AML laws around the world, anti-monetary laundering. I’m reading some of these, yeah.

Janice, well, where are you at? Piggly Wiggly is making a return to southern Virginia and North Carolina and has slowly been growing again. If you ever find yourself driving through Danville, Virginia, almost North Carolina, pretty much on the border, stop at the Piggly Wiggly on 58 and pick yourself up a shirt and send it to your friends. Make Piggly Wiggly great again.

Anybody else remember cool stores from your past? I don’t even know where we stopped here. We need to get back to the news. We talked about the copper.

We talked about China and the trade deficit. Oh, Epstein victim Virginia Guffrey dies by suicide according to family. She was in a recent accident.

Her family has not raised many signals in other words, they seem to say that it is indeed suicide. It is suspicious, of course, and anything Epstein related, the number of people, the number of witnesses that have either committed suicide or died mysteriously in the past year or two does, of course, make us wonder what is real or not. The 41-year-old died in Neergabi, Australia, where she’d been living for several years.

Her family, of course, making a statement. Six years ago or so, made the statement, I am making it publicly known that no way, shape, or form am I suicidal. In other words, if she ever dies of suicide, we are supposed to question and look and raise a stink.

She really put her life, she put herself in the crosshairs to push for these prosecutions. An already very difficult life that she had had. For me, I think we have a need to stand up and fight for Ms. Guffrey and for justice.

I hope her passing, that there is something good that comes of it, and that is a renewed effort to get those Epstein stuff released. Ms. Bondy, we are watching. The people around the world are watching.

You have made a couple of good moves and some that people find controversial. We’re gonna get into one of those momentarily, but on this one, we need you to do what is right. We need the people of the world, not only Americans, but the people of the world, need the release of the Epstein information, all of it, Dodo, all.

Yeah, she was in bad shape. Accident didn’t help anything. Revealed she was having organ failure.

Hadn’t seen kids in a while. She probably felt kind of hopeless after doing everything to fight. Here she is, much younger, 20-some years ago.

Maxwell, a former British socialite. Okay, she’s there with her. It just, when you read this and study this, it is just heartbreaking, everybody’s lives that were wrung out over this human trafficking pedophilia.

Virginia Gee was having renal failure. She has two children. My heart just breaks for them.

For the family and for the victims that feel, I mean, she was one of the biggest voices, so now we have to be her voice. That is how I look at it. If she can’t have a voice, then we’ve got to be her voice.

That one shocked me a bit last night. All right, who’s keeping track? What we know about the Wisconsin judge arrested for allegedly obstructing ICE. I don’t know if there’s much you can say that is alleged here.

She obstructed ICE. I mean, we have the footage. She’s got somebody being heard in her courtroom.

A illegal alien who was deported physically back in 2013 because of violence was here illegally, somehow returned, there’s no record of it, jumped the border, got back in, living life. I guess beats up a woman and a guy hospitalizing them both is in court for it. And she finds out that ICE is in the building looking for the person, so she brings them into her quarters, sends them back out with the divest attorney out a different door and then plays dumb.

I don’t know where they went. Which way did they go? Or at least that’s the short of the story. That’s not exact.

Study it. She still gets her day in court. But the left is melting down because, well, they picked her up for it.

Pam Bondi going after it. Kash Patel pushing as we go after it. What preceded the arrest? In mid-March, Flores Ruiz was charged with domestic violence in a case that was assigned to Dugan.

Federal authorities found that the defendant had been deported previously to his home country, back to Mexico, back in 2013. Of course, they found no evidence of him coming back because he just jumped the border. He didn’t have any official means or have any official papers.

So they informed the court officials about their intentions to remove him. They waited outside the courtroom where the woman took photographs. Two team members, one was later identified as the attorney for the state public defender’s office.

Anyways, she later described the plainclothes officers to Dugan’s clerk. A witness told investigators someone announced ICE is here. Dugan left the bench.

She and another judge, the team members. Witnesses uniformly reported that Dugan was visibly upset and had a confrontational, angry demeanor. The affidavits say that Dugan ordered the team to go to the chief judge’s office.

And according to the witnesses, Dugan allegedly escorted Flores Ruiz and his lawyer out of the courtroom through the jury door, which leads to a non-public area of the courthouse. According to courtroom deputy, only deputies, juries, and court staff and in-custody defendants being escorted through the jury door. Defense attorneys and defendants who were not in custody never used the jury door.

Another officer noticed Flores and his attorney, lawyer, excuse me, on an elevator and alerted members of the arrest team. They then scrambled to find him. They spotted him outside where they handcuffed him and detained him.

She was helping. She didn’t like it. She didn’t like that ICE was in her courthouse.

So she broke the law. She smuggled an illegal alien that was on trial. That was on trial for physically assaulting people and abusing people and attempted to help them avoid deportation.

And they went after an arrestor. The left is melting down. Oh my God, they’re arresting judges.

This is an authoritarian hell. That’s going a little far. They’re arresting a judge that was illegally.

No one’s above the law. I mean, you had a problem. You claim Donald Trump did something.

You arrested a president. A president. But you’re upset that a judge that knowingly, willfully took an oath to support the law and the Constitution, knowingly and willfully broke that law.

And they’re upset that this person got locked up. It’s not playing well for them in the press. Democrats doubling down on social media.

The common man the common person, the working class, common woman, whatever you want to call it. They know better and they’re calling BS on it. I did not know that the Democrats approval rating could get any lower.

But every time I don’t think it can, they surprise me and tank lower. It is like a need to commit suicide for their party. They’re a bunch of like, I don’t know, kamikazes.

I hear birthday alert. Youngest daughter Erica turns the big five tomorrow. Awesome.

Now I have three ages five and up instead of three ages five and under. Oh, they’re growing up. Stop blinking.

Stop blinking. Oh yeah, another big one. Melania’s 55th birthday today.

Melania Trump’s birthday today. Yes, no, I’m with you, Sven. Everything’s coming out.

I just need it faster. The people need it faster. And whether Trump would like to admit it or not.

The fuse is burning on this one. The time is ticking down. The sand is running out of the clock.

Whatever you guys want to call it. He is going to be quickly approaching midterms. And the left is going to be throwing everything in the kitchen sink at them.

This one’s going to be crucial. Necessary. You guys need to be volunteering, running for offices, whatever it takes.

This one’s a big one because the battle is fully joined now. Oh, wait. In Claremore, Oklahoma, we had a Humpty Dumpty grocery store.

TGNY, Tosco, and Coast to Coast stores. I love hearing the stories of the different stores. I love reading the old advertisements.

PTA, oh, tomorrow’s my 65th. Will you miss it this year? It’s four times the charm. Happy birthday.

Pre-birthday. Howie, it is. You just got to find the one that works best for you.

He was just talking about the different platforms. What works best on a cell phone? Which works best on a computer, a TV? Which one chats better? Which one reads better? I’m going to read a few. All right.

Oh, Green Stamp Store. I remember those now. All right.

What’s next? She’ll be back in the courtroom. She gets to defend herself, but it is a huge wake-up call. This is yet another judge that has been being prosecuted for their… What’s the word I’m looking for? Breaking the law? Trying to make the law up instead of applying the law? Trying to interpret it to fit whatever they want it to mean instead of what it is meant? All right.

Thousands of illegal immigrants have registered on CBP, Customs and Border Patrol home app to self-deport, CBP says. Now, this is… And I had mentioned that this is something that needed to happen. I did mention a number of people were self-deporting.

Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol did something I think that is absolutely fantastic here. I think it will go a long way. Department of Homeland Security said that those who remain in the United States and have not yet registered on the app will have to pay a fine.

In other words, they are being given the opportunity to self-deport. If they self-deport, they won’t face any penalties and can then reapply to come back legally. They have to go through the legal channels.

But if they self-deport, they can come back legally. If they do not self-deport, if you are caught here illegally, you will be removed and you will never have the opportunity to return to the United States. You will automatically be flagged as never to get citizenship, never to get a visa.

You will basically be banished from the states. So, you have an opportunity. And I think this one’s a great one.

And they have many, many, many thousands that are self-deporting because of it so that they can make the attempt to come back properly. So far, 68,000 illegals since Trump has taken office. Of course, we’ve got millions, like, you know, 20 million or so.

So, we’ve got millions to go, but 68,000 have already been arrested, flagged to be removed, thousands more signing up. It’s a drop in the bucket. We have a long way to go.

But they also have the opportunity. If they self-deport, sign up, self-deport, then you can attempt to come back legally. Natalie, 45.

And I am pro-immigration, guys. I want to remind you of that. I’m just pro-legal immigration.

Until we start having babies, we’re going to need immigrants. And unfortunately, most of our community is too old to have babies. Otherwise, you know, why not? Let’s see.

Rand Seich, oh yeah, a Queens woman made a YouTube video of how empty her area became It was quite comical and eerie. I bet it was kind of eerie. It is harsh, but it is justified.

Show me another country I can go and live illegally. Can I go hang out in the UK illegally for 10 years, 15 years, 20 years? Can I go hang out in France? And are you going to pay my bills? It really doesn’t make any sense. Let’s see.

Michelle, my friend who’s a naturalized citizen is worried they might get put out of the country or if they leave, not allowed back in. Michelle, that is the fear mongering coming out of the left, and they’re doing that on purpose to get folks like your friends whipped over over things they do not need to be worried about at all if they are legally in good standing. They may write wrong or indifferent because of profiling.

It happens. They may have to say, nope, I’m here. I’m legal and prove it.

Best thing to do would be just be prepared for that. Make certain you have whatever you need with you. I haven’t heard anything on Chief Justice John Roberts other than I find him morally devoid.

I wish that we would see Donald Trump hand out envelopes, the files. That would be great. All right.

So, legally deport, many doing it. Those are the ones that will have a chance to return. If you’re here illegally, guys, self-deport, or you will never have the opportunity to return, ever.

Some solid reading for you folks. Oh, man, I’m way over the Cloward-Piven and migrant invasion. Bruce Major’s doing one, even getting into economic theory.

John Maynard Keynes, Keynesian theory he came from, should be burning in hell for his shyster economic theories. I agree. And the shyster politicians that embrace it.

I agree. A great little thoughtful article on that one and how they have tried to tear down and replace the voter base in the US. Just a good one for the thinking folks in the community.

I’m gonna drop that link directly so you don’t even have to go to the website and find it. I hope a few of you take the time to read that so we can, you know, chat about it. It is best to be informed.

Yeah. Mellifest, I bet I’m not alone. I find him very confusing legally as well.

I think he is very confused legally in his interpretations. In other words, somebody else is telling him how to vote is my opinion because he is clearly not thinking for himself or basing it on any solid constitutional law. Gary said, Mark, most are pro-immigration as long as they’re here to become American with American values.

Absolutely. Now, when you come here, you are no longer Iranian-American. You’re no longer Mexican-American.

No, if you come here and then you embrace it and you get citizenship, you are American. Not French-American, not Mexican-American, not Guatemalan-American. No, you’re making the choice to become American, which means you’ve got to leave those old ties behind.

No longer can that be your first priority for nation. It’s simple. Roosevelt, Ike, Roosevelt did the same thing in the early 1900s as well, said we got to close immigration until the folks that we have here are fully integrated.

Then we can open it up again, but it’s not good for the country. You don’t bring them in to change your values. They come here because they like your values.

If they don’t like your values, they shouldn’t come here. No, if you want to change it to the values of your homeland, stay in your homeland. Native gal, happy birthday.

All right, we got a long birthday list. Let’s get to it and start on the weekend. Natalie, PTA, Melanie, Miss Melanie, Trump’s birthday, misunderstood, rabble-peasant, day and night, Jonathan and Jen, Tina, relentless, Richard, Charlene, Lonnie, Daniel, Erica, Miss Young Erica, happy birthday.

Christopher, turning the big 40. So they tell me it’s your birthday. Well, happy birthday, darling.

May you live, may you love. May all your dreams come true. Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.

To all those celebrating, happy birthday. Mile high, Trish, who helps moderate, actually, she pretty much runs things at this point, over for Zester. Great background, guys.

Great tech background, but mile high letting us know that Zester is doing a podcast at 1 p.m. Eastern for a Q&A over at the Crazy Kryptonite, and she will see you there. Before I forget, Miss Kukla, battling allergies. She was not here this morning as she went off to the dock to try to get ahead of the just, before it turns into something more.

So an extra prayer for her would be a good thing, too. I don’t know if she’ll be back in time to make it for the Crazy Kryptonite. And happy birthday to all those celebrating.

Native Dalgal, you’re very welcome. See you Monday morning at 10 a.m. Eastern, unless there is breaking news. Bye, guys.
