Before Tony started, Ray said the Epstein photos have been released. Tony said he wanted to talk about that.
Tony's declaration: He is not on any airline list or any photos. Ray is right, it is going to be coming out all weekend.
We were looking for a change at close of Forex.
We've been told this is our weekend. The banks have everyone working tomorrow, even managers working on Sunday.
The line is breaking constantly. I can't hear whole sentences.
The mission is over, after 18 years. This is significant. They will be a sovereign country again, on January 1. This was confirmed on Wednesday. It is done. It is over. Now we can get paid. Everyone is excited about it. We're ready to go.
However, even though the UN is no longer involved, the US still has sanctions on Iraq, has their money in the Federal Reserve, controls all the dollars. Trump controls when the RV starts. Even afterwards, we will still control their dollars, through the Federal Reserve. Trump is holding the carrot and the stick. Why? Will he use one of them? What does he want? He wants Sudani to be the Prime Minister and no Iranians have any position of power in the new government, that militias are absorbed into the Iraqi military, where Sudani can control them.
The other things Trump wanted done, in the banks, the protections, are all done. He has to know that they will do what he wants them to do. Yesterday, articles said Sudani will be the PM again, "because that's what Trump wants." Trump sent his envoy to do this, tell them what Trump wants. If they don't, they will be suffocated economically. "But do whatever you want to do." Or move more to the US side and we can make you look like Dubai. Your choice. That is what they have been arguing over. Is there an option? No. Because the US has all our money in New York.
So they are doing these things and explaining why and how. It's not all done yet but they are moving toward that path. They are explaining the pros and cons of whether they do things or not.
Is it enough for them to say they are doing these things or do they have to be completely done?
We were looking for the RV at 4:45 today, and now at 5:15 on Sunday to be made public. It looks like it's starting tomorrow, based on what Iraq is doing and the banks being called in, including managers, for tomorrow.
Re Venezuela, last Tony heard, Maduro is still trying to negotiate. Tony says that everything on TV, those fighting back against Trump for what he's doing, is giving Maduro pause because Congress is saying it's illegal (Tony saying it's all about the oil), blah, blah, blah "This is Iraq all over again." So Maduro thinks he might not have to leave.
The actual military action was scheduled to start more than a week ago. It has been paused for these reasons and this is why the final agreements haven't yet been done. Maduro is now in the Cuban embassy, Tony thinks. His security team is all out of Cuba and he has been approved to go to Cuba. It is a question of when he will go.
So, we're looking good. Things are right where we need to be, standing at the starting line. We need the Go!
On Tuesday, they said they were given the green light for the weekend. Tony is waiting to see if it happens. He was happy to hear it but not over excited because we've heard it before. That's what the people have been told. Tony was in the military, and knows about hurry up and wait!
