TNT Conference Call

Friday, March 14, 2025

Tony’s Monologue: On Wednesday things were radio silent. Tony did get that we are waiting for Saturday. This morning it was the same message that we are waiting for Saturday. It’s been absolutely quiet and everyone is wondering what is going on. Tony still believes that nothing is going to happen until we see if the government shuts down or not. Tony personally believes that we won’t have a rv while the government is shut down. A message that Tony received is “Trump had messed things up and we are now on the same page. We are setting the time and date as we sit in the meeting.” Everyone is ready and you would think this would want to be used to reduce the deficit, make money in the economy, have us shopping, and maybe some of the people that have been laid off have some money from this. Two controlling factors in this could be that with the government shut down they would not be able to move the money around like they want to, and they might not have finalized everything in Iraq like they want. There was an article out of Iraq saying that Sudani has done everything that he needs to. We don’t know how many in the senate will vote for the CR and if the government will stay open. Tony was waiting and didn’t think he would hear anything until after there was a vote about the government being funded through September. Regardless of whatever else happens, we will soon be on the good side of things. That is, we will have enough money to sustain us through anything. They have said that it is being done right now as we speak, and we will get the time and date later today.

Q & A:

-            Do we need peace in the middle east and an end to the Ukrainian war? No, we don’t.

-            Is the militia in Iraq delaying the rv? No, they have something else going on with that and might be trying to cut off their money to get rid of them.

-            Any word on the lower denoms? All Tony heard was that it was supposed to happen on Sunday, and it is Friday.

-            Any update on the Venezuelan Sanctions coming off? No, only that they were supposed to come off this week. Yesterday they just agreed to take all their people back and allow the US to put people in their prisons.

-            Is there any reason for us to be hesitant about leaving 50% of our money in Wells Fargo for 30% interest? You can leave whatever you want with your bank of choice. It will still be in the same banking system no matter what and if they are making money on it then all you have is your money. Tony is not concerned about the banks crashing but our economy crashing.

-            Is it just US reps in a meeting or global reps meeting about setting the time and date? It is an international meeting.

-            We had heard that things had started in Asia and that we should start tomorrow. Will the rates be lower? Nothing has started and won’t until the rv/GCR is started in Iraq. Yes, the privileged are getting paid but things are not open to the public yet. The contractors and their employees got the higher rates. Those that went in and could complete their exchange were given their currency back. No SKR’s were given out.

Wrap Up: We will know about the government shutdown today and we will know something this evening. We could see a shutdown for a couple of hours or maybe over the weekend and see where it goes from there. Tony hopes that it happens tomorrow morning. Everything else looks good. Iran is talking and willing to talk with the US. Iraq said they have completed everything Trump wanted them to do and complete their banking system tomorrow. Our banks say that it is still on their screen but can’t process it. The only bad thing is that we don’t know how long this might be used as a carrot. The opportunity is here. All we can do is wait and be ready.
