You can get your reparations 50% of that $110 billion, but we're going to pay for our struggles here and the war struggles and ensure we don't have to deal with this again and take that $55 billion a year as a nice little chunk of change for us to

be able to replenish our supplies as well.

So I think there's a lot on the table right now.

There was a rumor also of a potential Fed move on rates today.

And I haven't confirmed it yet.

But if Powell doesn't hate America, he'll lower and he will call a quarter point drop in the Fed funds rate, which will add some fuel to the recovery of our equity markets, which I think will be great for a midterm situation.

I mean, you always tell me, I see dead people.

You see some dead people out there that were on the wrong side of this trade, sir?

Yeah, I see dead people in markets, especially the energy markets.

And this whole time, we've been on 40 days now.

I was positioned to lose money if oil continued higher and stocks went down, even though I said that was what was happening.

People didn't believe me.

That's the truth.
