@THE_TNT_TEAMFeb 8, 2026

The Spaces opens with Ray and Tony addressing a widely circulated, racially offensive post shared by Donald Trump, rejecting the campaign’s explanations and calling for unity and accountability. Tony pivots to an RV-focused update: banks and global actors are "in position," rates were seen flashing then went blank, and teams are waiting for a "ping," with calls expected from IMF and Wells and potential movement late tonight or over the weekend. Geopolitics dominate the backdrop: Tony claims Iran casualties are high, tankers have been seized near the Strait of Hormuz, neighboring officials are being threatened, and multiple countries are ready, awaiting a U.S. "go"; Israel may act independently. On personal finance, Tony emphasizes leaving substantial funds under bank management contracts (2–5 years) with reported high annual interest, warns of a shortened 30-day decision window post-RV, and urges contingency planning (cash on hand, hard assets) in case of account restrictions during martial law. Q&A spans forex timing, electronic-holdings behavior, specific currencies (IQD, VND, VES, IDR), and risk management. Tony reiterates TNT’s non-partisan ethos, notes agency monitoring of their calls, and flags weekend scheduling constraints while promising updates if events trigger.

Opening context and tone

  • Tony opened by addressing what he called “the elephant in the room”: a widely circulated social media post from Donald Trump that depicted Michelle and Barack Obama as apes (described by Tony as racist). He stated:
    • Multiple conflicting explanations appeared (e.g., “Lion King”/“king of the jungle” framing; claim a staffer posted it at ~2 a.m.). Tony rejected these explanations as implausible and said Republican lawmakers also criticized it.
    • He argued such content further divides the country and called for unity, saying the U.S. should act as the United States of America, not as a divided nation.
    • He made clear that listeners who disliked his candor could leave the call/chat; he emphasized TNT calls have long been nonpartisan in purpose (focused on currency/investor topics and community uplift), even as political events affect sentiment and risk.

Geopolitical backdrop Tony says is driving timing

  • Iran situation (as characterized by Tony):
    • He claimed ~90,000 deaths in Iran (“shot in the streets”) amid unrest and alleged U.S. Treasury leadership publicly acknowledged aspects of a plan related to Iran (Tony referenced his long-standing view of economic pressure strategies, invoking “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” as context). These are Tony’s assertions; he did not provide sources on the call.
    • Strait of Hormuz: Tony said Iran attempted to stop a U.S. tanker earlier in the week and seized two other tankers Wednesday (he said not yet reported in mainstream news), and threatened to close the Strait. He said there had been “absolutely nothing” done publicly in response and that such restraint signals proximity to action.
    • Regional threats: He claimed Iran or aligned actors threatened legislators and their families in neighboring countries; he said protective measures were put in place.
    • Readiness posture: Tony repeatedly stated “everybody is ready to go,” awaiting a “go” order from Trump. He added Israel purportedly has a “green light” to act independently. He expected “fireworks” possibly Friday night or over the weekend.
    • Iraq security: Tony said ~35,000 U.S. soldiers are back in Iraq and borders are controlled to prevent militia escalation allegedly fueled by Iranian influence.

Caution: These are Tony’s characterizations and predictions, not independent confirmations.

RV/exchange status and banking chatter (as stated by Tony)

  • General status:

    • Tony said “all countries are in position” and “talks didn’t work” (recent attempts). He projected talking would end and action would follow soon.
    • Banks: He claimed some bank staff were instructed to stop telling clients “it’s not going to happen” and instead to say “we don’t know when, but it is going to happen.” He said some people were “called into the bank,” had currency verified, were told indicative rates and potential interest offers, and that banks are “ready.”
    • Screens/rates: He described rates flashing Wednesday (old rates appeared briefly) then going blank; as of the call, he said rates were blank. He believed if something occurred Friday, it would be after 9 p.m., otherwise possibly Saturday morning.
    • Pings: He referenced prior experiences waiting for a “ping” to trigger start; he said bankers are again “sitting around waiting for that ping.”
    • Contacts: He mentioned an IMF call he took during the session and awaited a callback from Wells (Wells Fargo), implying expectation of near-term developments.

  • Claimed currency specifics (as relayed by Tony; not verified):

    • Iraqi dinar (IQD): a “$2.85” reference (“2850 is still alive”) appeared; Tony spoke in shorthand typical in community chatter. He did not present an official live rate.
    • Vietnamese dong (VND): he referenced “1140 for the dong” still being alive (again, community shorthand; not official).
    • Indonesian rupiah (IDR): in Q&A, a caller asked; Tony and Ray recalled a prior mention around “$1.05” (Ray corrected “not that high… 1.05”).
    • Venezuelan bolívar (VES): Tony said there were “no rates” visible but asserted it was still expected “to go.” He later described a personal tactic of swapping proceeds from selling some IQD to buy a larger count of bolívar as a compensating move (again, his opinion/tactic, not advice).

  • Interest and deposit arrangements Tony claims banks may offer:

    • He stated banks could offer up to ~40% per year on funds left on deposit, with top offers contingent on leaving 50% or more of proceeds. He suggested some could see 30–45% per year depending on amount and bank.
    • Contract terms: Tony said such “under management”/deposit contracts might be for 2, 3, or 5 years, renewable, and that one can negotiate renewal rights in the initial contract.
    • “Higher than 40%” tease: Tony hinted there is a way to obtain more than 40% annually but said he would reserve that detail (Ray advised him not to disclose). He reiterated later that Ray “didn’t want me to give you guys a higher rate/how you get the higher rates.”

Important note: These claimed rates/structures are extraordinary relative to conventional banking; Tony consistently framed them as what he is hearing, not as formal offers. Readers should treat these as Tony’s assertions and understand no documentary evidence was provided on the call.

Risk management guidance Tony emphasized (his views; not financial advice)

  • Decision window: Tony previously told listeners they’d have ~90 days post‑event to make critical decisions; he now says updated guidance suggests ~30 days before “things change real quick.”
  • Protecting funds:
    • Cash on hand: He strongly urged maintaining cash reserves in case of disruptions (e.g., martial law, bank access limits, electronic outages). He stressed you cannot practically withdraw enormous sums in cash; the system is set up to keep large holdings within banks.
    • Restrictions vs. bank collapse: Tony distinguished between bank failures and government‑ordered restrictions. He warned that accounts could be restricted/frozen under certain circumstances (e.g., martial law), limiting withdrawal amounts/frequency; he said individual banks would not decide this, but government systems could.
    • Diversification: He favors placing interest earnings into “hard assets” (e.g., income‑producing real estate or tangible assets), arguing they retain value and generate cash flow even through volatility; he is skeptical of crypto and of relying on equities in crises. He stated he personally does not do gold/silver or crypto; Ray is more favorable on metals.
    • Compliance and monitoring: In response to a question about Basel III, CBDCs, and precious metals, Tony said authorities already track gold and that forms exist to declare holdings (including location). He advised listeners to verify current requirements themselves.

Again, Tony repeatedly said he is not providing financial advice and encouraged consulting wealth managers and doing one’s own research.

Community and norms

  • Nonpartisan ethos: Tony underlined TNT is not a Democrat/Republican forum; its purpose is shared learning and uplift. He said he judges people by character, not party or race, and appealed for unity.
  • Post‑RV learning plans: Tony and Ray said they plan to host discussions with multiple wealth managers to compare approaches, cover IPOs, local community projects, and broader investor education on a new site/community after the event.

Selected Q&A highlights

  • Why aren’t Iraqis rioting (Sadie/Ben Franklin via Ray):

    • Tony cited heavy security (approx. 35,000 U.S. troops in Iraq) and border control, and said Iraqi citizens are aware of plans to remove Iranian influence and expect a rate change. Therefore, many are waiting rather than rioting.

  • Why leave 50% in banks if funds might be “disappearing”?

    • Tony said the “fear” is not the banks per se but potential government restrictions; large sums will reside in the banking system regardless. Given that, he would want interest payments while funds are on deposit instead of zero yield.

  • Electronic currency purchases:

    • If currency is held electronically (not physical notes), Tony said its value adjusts automatically when rates change; one would then receive the Forex rate when markets reflect the change. If Forex is closed, visible pricing may be delayed.

  • 10‑day exchange window vs. Forex:

    • The prior “10 days before rates show on Forex” plan was mentioned; Tony said plans have shifted repeatedly and he cannot confirm until final instructions are issued.

  • Martial law and banking:

    • Tony said martial law would restrict accounts to prevent runs on banks. He advised planning for scenarios where access is limited, including alternate arrangements and cash on hand.

  • Indonesia rupiah (caller “Trump 2021” from Bali):

    • Tony/Ray recalled a notional rate around $1.05 previously discussed; they had no new quote. Caller thanked hosts and affirmed long‑time listenership.

  • Metals and state depositories (Walt):

    • Walt asked if metals held via Texas’ depository might be controllable if rules change after 30 days. Tony said outcomes would depend on broader political dynamics (e.g., states pursuing separate directions) and reiterated his tilt toward hard assets that produce income. He expects exchanges to proceed as long as Iraq remains on track; if it “goes back,” the U.S. could use the rate as leverage.

  • Spending discipline scenario (Danny):

    • Tony modeled a hypothetical: leaving a high percentage under contract to earn substantial annual interest paid monthly, enabling a sustainable income and avoiding rapid depletion.

  • On gold/CBDCs (Hawaii caller):

    • Tony restated that restrictions are more likely than outright losses, that systems can limit access, and that people should research current statutes and reporting forms regarding precious metals. He acknowledged different states (e.g., Texas) are pursuing different policies.

Logistics and timelines mentioned

  • Near‑term expectations:
    • Tony suggested if anything happened Friday it would be after 9 p.m.; otherwise Saturday morning was possible. He expected visible “fireworks” (geopolitical) and RV‑related movement “over the weekend,” though all remained contingent on a “go” decision.
    • He said some individuals already had bank appointments scheduled (Saturday, Monday) despite uncertainty.
  • Availability:
    • Tony noted he would be at a concert Saturday night and at the Super Bowl Sunday (limited availability for calls/tweets during those times). Ray said he would push out a tweet/call if critical information arrives.

Key takeaways (as presented on the call)

  • Tony anticipates synchronized geopolitical and financial actions imminently (potentially within the weekend), with multiple parties “in position” and waiting for a command decision.
  • He asserts banks have been prepared, with rates flashing mid‑week then going blank; some staff have reviewed client currencies and discussed provisional interest structures.
  • He continues to emphasize risk management: plan within a shorter decision window (~30 days), keep cash on hand, expect possible account restrictions in crisis, and convert income into durable assets.
  • The community focus remains on education and nonpartisan collaboration post‑event.

Notable uncertainties and disputed points

  • Verification: Many claims (e.g., specific casualty figures in Iran, tanker seizures, exact bank instructions, and interest rates up to 40%+) are Tony’s assertions without documentation on the call.
  • Timing: Exact go‑time and sequencing (e.g., “post‑9 p.m.” Friday vs. Saturday morning) remain speculative and subject to change.
  • Policy details: The purported precious‑metal reporting requirements, and how CBDCs/asset‑backed digital currencies will be implemented and enforced, should be independently confirmed by listeners.

Closing sentiments

  • Tony closed by urging listeners to “be super fantastic,” remain alert for updates, and prioritize unity and discipline. Ray affirmed they would watch the weekend and communicate if validated instructions arrive.
