The real ones are here first. Appreciate you guys for joining me on this, what is this, Tuesday.
It's 2026, Trump just sent a major message to the country that starts with an I about the ongoing war in the Middle East, the US is looking to end this war.
Some interesting movements have come from the Trump administration this morning. What's up, Tommy? The Bank of Japan has also raised interest rates to 1% since, first time since 1995, so a pretty big move. And SpaceX is now more valuable than Russia. So the world is going absolutely nuts right now. I'm here for a good time, not a long time, on this wonderful Tuesday morning. So if you may show me some damn love, show me some support. I could definitely use it right now. So let's look at all the news going on in the world here. Apparently, the FBI found an attempt. The FBI disrupted an attempt in an alleged explosive drone plot targeting the White House UFC event. That just happened recently.
Civil unrest indicators, anyone? Now, Trump has called out Bibi and the iCountry for intentionally targeting civilians in Lebanon. Trump says the iCountry is blowing up civilian homes for the pretext of searching for terrorists, right? He says too many people are being killed. And this is very interesting to see Trump start to make this stance. We also have this. He suggested the iCountry let Syria take care of Hezbollah because they have, in his opinion, a better ability to take care of the job than iCountry does. And also iCountry is asked to view the text of the peace agreement between the US and Iran, but their request was denied. So these are actually some pretty surprising movements coming from the Trump administration, in my opinion. Now, there's been a lot of talk about this potential major payment package to be made to Iran from the United States after this conflict comes to a completion. But let's have a listen to what JD Vance has to say. JD Vance kind of fall into the background, all right? He's probably one of those hard working guys as he gets shoved into the background and expected to keep toeing the line here. He has something to say about Iran and this payment package.

What we have said is again, that if the Iranians are behaving like a normal country, and if they make their country investible, then the Gulf Arab states are going to decide, may decide to invest in that country, invest in their infrastructure, invest in their incredible resources. But I think it's important, not a single dime of that money comes from the United States. And in order for Iran to get that benefit, they have to show the Gulf Arab states that they're behaving like a normal country. Again, the whole concept of this deal is that if Iran acts like a normal country, their economic relationship, both with the region, but the world is going to be totally transformed. The president of the United States doesn't want just a deal on the nuclear, as much as that's a win for the American people. He wants to see a transformed Middle East, which is what this deal will do so long as the Iranians comply. And if they don't, they won't get any of the benefits.

So the Gulf states and their analysis of how Iran has acted, it's probably not great.
Most of that sector of folks that we're dealing with here are on the more peaceful version of their religion in Iran, obviously on the opposite spectrum of that, from an infrastructural standpoint. Now, a lot of the conversations that still remain and coming out of the Trump camp this morning is Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. They're still saying this. They're still pushing this message, driving this message home. And Hezbollah has received promises from Iran that it will not sign a final nuclear deal with the United States unless iCountry withdraws from Lebanon. So there's a lot of moving parts that still need to be flushed out from this. Trump just recently, right before I went live, also mentioned that he's going to be handing this peace deal over to Congress for its approval. But a lot of this relies on if that iCountry can control itself. Now, in terms of macroeconomics, this happened overnight. Bank of Japan raised interest rates to 1% for the first time in more than 30 years. The interesting part about this is that it really didn't have a big effect on the markets at large. And SpaceX just going absolutely ballistic. Bitcoin not feeling too bad. I am in this short from the Discord call looking for just a general insurance head short on Bitcoin. I can't remember where I'm exactly from on this trade. All right. So I put in the short at around $66,550 when I was talking about this in the Discord. It was about $66,700. So I do have this short in place with the stop loss in profit so I can continue trying to cover all the news for you guys here. But I'm up about a grand so far on this trade. Feeling good, feeling frisky. Compass is still working just fine, and I'm loving trading. So also in the description, I'll be putting in Toobit's rolling out a pretty interesting. They're like doing some I want to pull it up here. They're doing like a soccer token. Let me pull this up here. I'm actually going to input this so I can talk to this because I'm actually going to go grab this token. I've been watching the World Cup. My boy loves the soccer. He's in soccer. He's in baseball. So I'm doing some trading on Toobit and getting this gold token.
