We have a big order coming up. We're uh buying ice breakers. Uh we're building them together for the most part.Uh we're doing four over there and seven over here.

They sort of have almost a monopoly on ice breakers if you think about it. Nobody makes them like Finland.I've heard that for a long time. So we're going to have a total of 11. And I think the reason that we've ...

will be making cuts that will be permanent and we're only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you. I guess that's makes sense, but we're only cutting Democrat programs.Uh but we're going to start that. And we have Russell who can talk to you about it if he wants to. But we're we'll be cutting some very popular Democrat uh programs that aren't popular with Republicans, frankly, because that's the way it works.They wanted to do this, so we'll give them a little taste of their own medicine.

And for all intents and purposes, the Gaza war should now be over. Though whether there will be peace, as envisaged by President Trump, remains to be seen. In talks at an Egyptian resort, delegates from Israel and Hamas agreed to implement the first phase of the Trump plan, a release by the Palestinian faction of the last living hostages from its October 7th, 2023 raid, which triggered the conflict alongside the remains of dozens of others.Israel will redeploy within the Gaza Strip and in turn free almost 2 ...

Keith, what do we know so far about this indictment. Well, what happened earlier today was New York Attorney General Letitia James was charged here in Virginia of committing mortgage fraud when she purchased a property right here in Virginia in 2023. That was interesting, is that this is now the second President Trump's political post to be charged here in Virginia with his indictment.As you all know, a couple of weeks ago, former FBI Director James Comey was also charged here in Virginia.

I think that speaks to our our preference.We prefer silver at the moment over gold around a week and a half ago, we upgrade our s ...

We've been on watch here for a few days now. We get the confirmation that the US is coming and intervening in these markets. What do we know so far. So we know what Besson tweeted, right.That they finalized talks for this 20 billion swap line, which the Argentine economic team has been in DC for a few days discussing. I think they flew in Friday and he also made this, I think, a bit surprising and extraordinary step to say we we stepped into currency markets and bought pesos directly, which I think caught e ...

Breaking news here. The US agreeing on an Argentina $20 billion swap line where it would help buy pesos. This framework basically allows for that and helps support that country's currency because this has kind of been an ongoing story that has been very disruptive.Absolutely. Certainly in the financial markets.
