1
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,879
Speaker 1: And hello, how are you welcome to Welcome to the

2
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:32,079
Big Podcast on this Tuesday. Today is the twenty fourth

3
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,759
day of March, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six.

4
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:40,039
My name is Tom Sullivan. We have a lot to

5
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:46,159
get to today. The news barrel is absolutely overflowing. So

6
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,560
let's I mean, we've got the update on the war,

7
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,679
update on oil and gas prices. You could probably update

8
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:57,840
me if you've been to the gas station lately. Update

9
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,320
on the plane trash at Laguardian. Uh uh, the latest

10
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,000
on the airports.

11
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,439
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I mean, it's just it's just it's

12
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,159
so dysfunctional airport some of the airports are are quick,

13
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:15,640
five minutes, ten minutes waiting time to get through security.

14
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,519
Speaker 1: There. There's in Houston they're having weights of between four

15
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:27,239
and five hours. I'm sorry, I I I mean you

16
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,280
can get you can get in your car and drive

17
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:32,879
for five hours and probably be where you wanted to go.

18
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,799
So we've got a lot to cover. Let's start with

19
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:41,400
with the latest on the war. Because the President has

20
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,480
backed off. I think he blinked. He said, oh, yeah,

21
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,040
forty eight over the weekend. It was forty eight hours,

22
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:53,599
and we're going to come get your your uh elect

23
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,040
your your utilities. We're going to blow up all your

24
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,560
power facilities in Iran unless you will on this data.

25
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:05,159
Four moves and then all of a sudden yesterday was okay,

26
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:08,479
we're not going to do that because we're in talks

27
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,960
with them, and nobody knows who they're in talks with.

28
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:21,800
We don't know who we're talking to. Rebecca Heinrich from

29
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,639
the Hudson Institute as this guess.

30
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: I think we can begin to see who the Israelis

31
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:32,080
think might be a potential candidate to be a leader

32
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,759
inside Iran, who the United States and Israel can work with,

33
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,919
because they're the ones that are still surviving, because essentially

34
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,639
Israel is the one getting in there and doing an

35
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680
incredible job and knowing exactly where everybody inside the regime.

36
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:47,240
The IRGC, of course, the besiege, that paramilitary organization under

37
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,319
the IRGC that is responsible for all the brutalizing the

38
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,439
Iranian people and the repression. And so look at who's standing.

39
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:58,479
There is this one man Calibath, I believe is how

40
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,400
to pronounce his name, my unders standing as he's a civilian,

41
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:05,039
a very senior. He used to be an IRGC commander

42
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,319
he's close to the Supreme Leader Junior, who we haven't

43
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,319
seen since he was chosen to be the successor of

44
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:14,400
the Supreme Leader who was killed. This man is corrupt,

45
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:18,639
he's known for his corruption, but still has some a

46
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,039
lot of kind of respect from the IRGC. That kind

47
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,080
of personal profile might be somebody the United States can

48
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,400
work with because he might want to just stay alive

49
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,120
more than he wants to die for the Islamic Revolution.

50
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:33,680
So there are these candidates that are still alive that

51
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:35,560
the United States and the Israelis might be able to

52
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:41,960
work with. Pallavi is going to run into the same

53
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,199
problems that some of these pro democracy people who we

54
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:47,400
might as Americans be rooting for, for instance in Venezuela.

55
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,439
The problem, though, is Pallavi has been outside of Iran

56
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,479
for decades, which means there's a lot of Iranians who

57
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:57,840
have been long suffering inside the country who have disdained

58
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,639
for him. They don't have the respect for him because

59
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:03,280
he hasn't been there. And so President Trump was actually

60
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,439
very insightful early on in Epic Fury when he said, look,

61
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:09,879
we want somebody who's coming from inside the regime, maybe

62
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:12,520
somebody who already has the respect and the control of

63
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,840
the army who can keep stability because Dana, what we

64
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,199
don't want is civil war. That would be messy, it

65
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:20,639
would be terrible for the Iranian people and really unstable.

66
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,040
So Palavi just might not have the pull in the

67
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:24,560
near term necessary.

68
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,519
Speaker 4: To maintain control. See.

69
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,199
Speaker 3: I think at this point the United States is being

70
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,920
so successful in its military operation. I mean, Dana, if

71
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,399
you turn to any other news channel, it sounds like

72
00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:36,519
things are going badly, that the the Iranians are in

73
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,879
some way winning. But from my perspective, the Iranians are

74
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:43,879
just completely being crushed militarily. Even their offensive retaliatory strikes

75
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:46,439
against the Israelis are not getting through. The Israelis missile

76
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,720
defenses are working. About two percent of Iranian missiles are

77
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:51,720
getting through. That's of course terrible any time that they

78
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:53,920
do hit, but it's very small. So I don't think

79
00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:56,199
that the Iranians have much to say in terms of

80
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:58,199
a deal. So the United States is really pressing on

81
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,040
everything we want, which is total total collaboration on oil,

82
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,560
making sure that everybody can get through the Strait of

83
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,959
Hormuz safely, not just Iranian ships, and also that we

84
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,279
can completely eliminate the nuclear program and really compel the

85
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,399
Iranians to be a source of stability in the region

86
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:16,519
and not a source of instability and terrorism, which is

87
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:17,720
what they've been for forty years.

88
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,399
Speaker 1: What about pa Lavi? You see him pop up all

89
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:25,439
the time. His name's Reza Pavlavi. He says or claims

90
00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:29,720
that he is the exiled crown prince and he's asking

91
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,519
Israel in the US to reinstall him.

92
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: Pallavi is going to run into the same problems that

93
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,680
some of these pro democracy people who we might as

94
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,480
Americans be rooting for, for instance in Venezuela. The problem, though,

95
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,120
is Pallavi has been outside of Iran for decades, which

96
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,000
means there's a lot of Iranians who have been long

97
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,680
suffering inside the country who have disdained for him. They

98
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,639
don't have the respect for him because he hasn't been there.

99
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,519
And so President Trump was actually very insightful early on

100
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,160
in Epic Fury when he said, look, we want somebody

101
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,800
who's coming from inside the regime, maybe somebody who already

102
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,240
has the respect and the control of the army, who

103
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,639
can keep stability, because we don't want a civil war

104
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:09,800
that would be messy. It would be terrible for the

105
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,360
Iranian people and really unstable. So Paalavi just might not

106
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,199
have the pull in the near term necessary to maintain control.

107
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,399
I think at this point the United States is being

108
00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:22,920
so successful in its military operation. I mean, if you

109
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,519
turn to any other news channel, it sounds like things

110
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240
are going badly, that the Iranians are in some way winning.

111
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,680
But from my perspective, the Iranians are just completely being

112
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,680
crushed militarily. Even their offensive retaliatory strikes against the Israelis

113
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,279
are not getting through. The Israelis missile defenses are working.

114
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,279
About two percent of Iranian missiles are getting through. That's

115
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:43,360
of course terrible any time that they do hit, but

117
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,600

118
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:50,040
the United States is really pressing on everything we want,

119
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:54,319
which is total collaboration on oil, making sure that everybody

00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,480
Iranian ships, and also that we can completely eliminate the

122
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,079
nuclear program and really compel the Iranians to be a

123
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,839
source of stability in the region and not a source

124
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:08,040
of instability and terrorism. Which is what they've been for

125
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,680
forty years.

126
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:11,959
Speaker 1: So I'm with her and I'm with the generals. Everybody

127
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,800
seems to say, we are doing everything right and we're

128
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:20,040
being very successful. This is not a time to sit

129
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:22,879
there and say, well, let's have peace talks or let's

130
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,759
have some negotiation. But the President keeps talking about that,

131
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,560
and I wish. I think he's got a lot of

132
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,079
pressure on him because of the fact that this is

133
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,079
very unpopular His popularity has sunk even lower down into

134
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,240
the thirties thirty percent approval range, and he wants the

135
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,959
Republicans to win in the midterm, and I think all

136
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,040
of that is pressure for him to wrap this up

137
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,439
quickly and get those oil prices down and everything will

138
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:54,959
be fine. But everything won't be fine. You're going to

139
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,800
keep the regime in place, and it just will be

140
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:01,480
a matter of time before the rebuild and cause nothing

141
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,680
but headaches for the world. And then though they will

142
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,279
play peekaboo with the Strait of Hormuz, now it's open,

143
00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:15,720
now it's not, they will totally control the world's oil prices.

144
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,480
I'm against any negotiations. It's way too early. So speaking

145
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:25,439
of the military, we're getting confirmation today that the President

146
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:32,519
has ordered the eighty second Airborne to the area. I'm

147
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,960
not quite you aware, but they're going to be within

148
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,480
striking distance of Iran. So we've got five thousand marines

149
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,679
plus twenty five hundred sailors. Now we've got the eighty

150
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,639
second Airborne. It doesn't sound like he's really talking to

151
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,559
anybody about some sort of negotiated settlement. It sounds like

152
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:57,120
he's ramping up the military. Pete Hegseth was talking today

153
00:08:57,159 --> 00:08:59,519
a little bit about the He's all jazzed about what

154
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:01,720
the military's doing. Nice.

155
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,759
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, mister President.

156
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:04,039
Speaker 5: You're spot on.

157
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,799
Speaker 6: Never in history has a modern military Iran had a

158
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,399
modern military, a modern navy, a modern air force, modern

159
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,720
air defenses, leadership, massive bunker. Never has a modern military

160
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:21,919
been so rapidly and historically obliterated, defeated from day one

161
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,440
with overwhelming firepower. The air campaign that we've conducted, that

162
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,000
Israel's conducted alongside us was one for the history books, truly,

163
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,639
and it's because we have a president of the United

164
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:33,519
States that when he sends his war fighters out to fight,

165
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,960
he unties their hands to actually go out and close

166
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,759
with and destroy the enemy. As viciously as possible from

167
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:42,320
moment one, and that's why we see ourselves as part

168
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,159
of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs. You

169
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:49,960
have a choice. As we loiter over the top of Tehran,

170
00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:53,200
as the President talked about about your future, President has

171
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,519
made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon.

172
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:58,080
The War Department agrees our job is to ensure that,

173
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,679
and so we're keeping our hand on that throttle as

174
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,639
long as as hard as is necessary to ensure the

175
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,039
interest of the United States of America are achieved on

176
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,679
that battlefield. This is not a rack in Afghanistan. This

177
00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:13,000
is not a president who's interested in vague end states.

178
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:14,879
He's been very clear with us about what we need

179
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:17,639
to accomplish, creating the conditions for them never to have

180
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,159
a nuclear capability. And that's exactly what we're doing in

181
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:22,559
historic fashion. Thank you, mister Breda, Thank you appreciate it.

182
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: So that takes uth and he sounds like he is

183
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:30,919
all pumped up, like he's not backing off. He's got

184
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,120
more fighting to do, and he loves it. General Mark

185
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:39,679
Schwartz also was asked about Lieutenant General Schwartz about how

186
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,879
we're doing militarily.

187
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 7: From a military standpoint, both Iran and certainly Israeli United

188
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,360
States are going to continue the military campaigns that they've

189
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,879
been directed to execute, and that will continue until such

190
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,399
time that there's a substantute change in the strategic dialogue

191
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,320
between you know, the regime representatives from Iran and the

192
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,000
United States.

193
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: Again, presidents talking about negotiations and the military seems to

194
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:08,759
be a pedal to the metal on all of this. Well,

195
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:12,000
all of this is affecting the course oil prices and

196
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:16,279
gas prices, and it's the one economic indicator that most

197
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,200
people face every single month, every single week. I should say,

198
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,679
and listen, let me divert here just a little bit.

199
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,320
We haven't talked in quite a while about electric vehicles,

200
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:36,000
and I don't know they became where the governments like

201
00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:40,600
the state of California started requiring mandating that you buy

202
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:43,000
an electric vehicle, and you have to do so before

203
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:45,720
I don't know what was a twenty thirty or twenty

204
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:48,720
third of Anyway, the point is a lot of people

205
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:55,279
got sour on electric vehicles. I still drive my electric vehicle,

206
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,799
and quite honestly, during these high gas prices, I'm kind

207
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:08,000
of liking my electric vehicle it. I mean, it's I

208
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,480
don't know if it's going to change the sales numbers

209
00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:16,879
because they haven't been great. Combustion internal combustion engine gasoline

210
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:21,279
cars are still by far the most popular. But during

211
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,600
times like this, it's got to make you wonder. And

212
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,159
this is there's one of these analysts that I've got

213
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,399
here that is talking about the fact that this could

214
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:38,039
be another oil shock like we had in the nineteen seventies.

215
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,799
Here's a Middle East oil analyst, name is Mark Layton.

216
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,320
He runs the Oil Prognostication group at City.

217
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:49,799
Speaker 8: YEP.

218
00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: That is still the case. Unfortunately, I think the two

219
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,320
sides still very very far apart. So well, then the

220
00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:00,399
negotiations are a positive sign, if indeed they are happening,

221
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,799
it is hard to see in the short run how

222
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,720
the demands of both sides can be met.

223
00:13:06,879 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so demands are still far apart in the short run.

224
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,320
Here's another Mid East oil analyst who's talking about oil

225
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:17,039
prices are not going to go back down anytime soon

226
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:19,720
where they were just a couple of weeks.

227
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 9: Ago, at least about I'll say eight weeks. But the

228
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:27,519
longer or the faster we get into view the faster,

229
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:30,559
we can get even lower, but nothing. I don't see

230
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,799
the prices let's say to go back to sixty dollars

231
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,799
at an anytime soon.

232
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: I remember we were talking quoting wrap up the daily

233
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,559
financial numbers. Oil prices were fifty eight sixty two somewhere

234
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,480
around in there, just before the conflict began. And this

235
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,600
guy is saying, doesn't look like it's going back to

236
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:56,279
that any time soon. So the oil people, no, they're

237
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:03,120
not jazzed. Scott Sheldy is commodities trader and he's looking

238
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,559
at the price of not only oil and gas, but

239
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:13,200
also for the agriculture industry, the farmers. The cost of

240
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,480
fertilizer has gone through the roof.

241
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:18,919
Speaker 8: It's one of those things nobody really talks about input

242
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:20,759
prices for these farmers. We only talk about what we

243
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:22,919
see at the Chicagoboard to trade when we talk about corn,

244
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,279
beans and wheat and what those prices might be. Those

245
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:28,080
are the output prices, but the input prices are really

246
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,879
what's killing them. And with this iranom war, we've seen

247
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:34,320
fertilizer prices go up between thirty three to forty percent.

248
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,320
And we're talking about fertilizer which can be up to

249
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,960
forty percent of what you put in your marketing plan,

250
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,960
you know, getting them ready for the spring. So it's

251
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,360
a huge deal, and it's going to be a big

252
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,080
enough deal. Sint of this month we get an acreage report,

253
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,279
we might see shifting of America's acres away from a

254
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,200
high intense fertilizer crops like corn to less intense crops

255
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,919
like so so you might see that start to come through. Now,

256
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,320
most farmers will purchase things like fertilizer early on. They

257
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,279
do that maybe in the fall, but getting ready for

258
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,519
the sprain to put things out there and start the

259
00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:13,399
growing season. However, there are some folks out there, some

260
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,639
farmers that haven't really bought it yet, and we could

261
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,679
see a big shift there. So that's something I have

262
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:20,639
to watch. Because everybody's been talking about soybeans. Corn light

263
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,440
be a sleeper here as even though we do have

264
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,240
big carryouts or big stockpiles, we can go through that

265
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,080
very quickly. Unlike other products. If we do have a

266
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,720
bad growing season, we shift away from corn because of

267
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:34,159
the fertilizer costs. All of a sudden, corn will be

268
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,000
in the head lines for another one. They could see

269
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,840
some big price spike.

270
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: Yes, so you and I eat corn and prior to

271
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,879
that goes up. Who else eats corn?

272
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:43,799
Speaker 4: Cattle?

273
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:48,799
Speaker 1: Yes, livestock, So the price of beef could go up

274
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:54,759
because of Again, fertilizer prices are a big, a big

275
00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:59,080
input costs for a lot of farmers as far as

276
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,320
oil and gas. Dan Brulette was a former energy secretary

277
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,279
in Trump one point zero. See what he's.

278
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 10: Talking about, And I think that's what the market expects.

279
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,720
A very short duration to the remainder of this war

280
00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:15,200
and then a very quick unwinding of some of the

281
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,279
traffic jam that's occurring now in the Gulf. I think

282
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,320
the bigger issue whether or not we can rebuild some

283
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,120
of the infrastructure, both in Iran and in places like

284
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,559
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and of course Qatar with the

285
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,679
loss of their L and G facilities. It's going to

286
00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:32,120
be the rebuilding of that infrastructure that may take some

287
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,879
more time, and we'll have to wait and see and

288
00:16:34,919 --> 00:16:37,639
get more clear assessments, i should say, on the ground,

289
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,720
so we know exactly what the damage is.

290
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 11: We see a pathway to have the straits of Horror

291
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,159
moves open soon and energy flowing again. You'd see energy

292
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:52,840
prices drop pretty significantly. Fortunately, we went into this conflict

293
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,320
in a strong position with President Trump's policies, US production

294
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,720
of oil and natural gas are record highs, and our

295
00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:02,240
alliances with other energy productions around the world are in

296
00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:03,200
good shape.

297
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 10: Well, I think they're going to meet most of those obligations.

298
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,880
And I think what's really important here is we think

299
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,920
about the marketplace itself. It's the release of those strategic

300
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,920
petroleum reserves. The announcement that they were going to release

301
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,720
four hundred million barrels perhaps even more, serves as a

302
00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:21,359
good bridge to the end of this conflict. That will

303
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,160
suffice for many of these economies to have that oil

304
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,480
come into the marketplace. So I also think that the

305
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,079
sanctioning some of the oil very temporarily will also relieve

306
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,240
some of the pressure that's being driven primarily by traders.

307
00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:35,400
At this point, you've probably seen some of the up

308
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,480
and down swings of the price of oil in the

309
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:40,599
market over the course of the last seven or eight days,

310
00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:43,279
and most of that's being driven frankly by press announcements.

311
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:45,559
So it gives you a good sense that a lot

312
00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:49,039
of this is market psychology, not the physical availability in

313
00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:49,599
the oil place.

314
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 11: Well, whatever was going on twelve hours yesterday really turned

315
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,680
those markets around today.

316
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 12: Over the weekend, Trump threatened to destroy a RAN's made

317
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:03,319
your power infrastructure for Aroon did not come to the table.

318
00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:07,039
Then this morning, after all the bluster and all the threats,

319
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,200
he appeared, Trump appeared to retreat, suddenly claiming there are

320
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,000
major points of agreement with the regime, even as Iran

321
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,799
flatly denies it, and there are no diplopanetic talks.

322
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 10: Why don't we look, well, I don't know about this

323
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,079
week bill, to be honest, I mean I think it

324
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,759
could happen this week. And I think that's what the

325
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:30,319
President is trying to establish. You know, what he's done

326
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,400
with the attacks on carg Island for instance, is to

327
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,160
send allows signal to the Iranian regime that it's time

328
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:38,680
to come to the table and begin a negotiation to

329
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:41,359
end this conflict and importantly, more importantly for the world

330
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,319
to end their stranglehold over the straight of woe moves.

331
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:47,119
And I think that's what the President's attempting to do here. Yes,

332
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,200
he did make the threat about the electric grid, the

333
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,279
infrastructure there that provides them a generation of electricity all

334
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:56,799
throughout our country. Those are very loud signals and provides it.

335
00:18:57,079 --> 00:18:59,440
I think an offer for the Iranians to come to

336
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,440
the table helped to they do it this week, But

337
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,480
we'll have to wait and see.

338
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,759
Speaker 1: Okay, got a bit all right, So he says, the

339
00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:09,119
markets expect things to turn around rather quickly, and yet

340
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,319
then turn then on the other side of his mouth,

341
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,240
he says, but it's going to take a long time

342
00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:15,359
to rebuild a lot of the facilities that have been

343
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,240
damaged so far in this war, in some of the

344
00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:22,920
Middle Eastern countries that have been damaged from the war.

345
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:25,160
So which is it? Is it slower?

346
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,759
Speaker 8: Is it fast?

347
00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: Well, he was the former energy secretary in Trump one

348
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,240
point zero. Chris Wright is the current Energy secretary, and

349
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:37,759
he sounds very similar to what Dan Broulette was talking about.

350
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 11: We see a pathway to have the straits of horror

351
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,559
moves open soon and energy flowing again. You'd see energy

352
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:47,240
prices drop pretty significantly. Fortunately, we went into this conflict

353
00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:50,720
in a strong position with President Trump's policies. US production

354
00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:53,119
of oil and natural gas are record highs, and our

355
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,640
alliances with other energy productions around the world are in

356
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,319
good shape.

357
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: Well, that's very optimistic. I've interviewed and talked to and

358
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,200
listened to a lot of oil analysts from around the world,

359
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,720
and they say, if it stopped today and they open

360
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:10,519
the Straight of Hormuz, it will take a long time

361
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:14,920
to rebuild the world's supply of oil and gas. A

362
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,880
lot of it's been damaged. So I hope they're right.

363
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,720
I'm trying to be positive, but I'm going there's a

364
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:25,720
lot of damage to the oil and gas industry in

365
00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:28,400
this world, and that's going to take a time, a

366
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,880
little bit of time, more than just real quick turnaround.

367
00:20:31,079 --> 00:20:33,400
I don't want to promise you something. I don't want

368
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,119
to overpromise to you. Oh yeah, this is going to

369
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,160
get two weeks from that will be fun. No, I'd

370
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,519
rather tell you that the cold, hard truth, and I

371
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:45,240
think it's going to take at least a couple of months.

372
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:50,039
Prices don't come down quickly. They will drop. You're going

373
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,839
to get some ninety dollars barrel oil dropping to maybe

374
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,720
seventy five dollars barrel, which is a great drop, but

375
00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:01,519
it's still way above what we were dealing with sixty

376
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:06,680
dollars barrel gas just three weeks ago. So let's move

377
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:14,400
on to another well functioning oil government agency. TSA part

378
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,640
of the Department of Homeland Security, and Mark Wayne Mullen

379
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,319
was man. They handled that quickly. He went through the

380
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,799
Committee and then right to the Senate and they voted

381
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:31,039
in favor of him yesterday. And so today the President

382
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,559
swore in Mark Waynemullen as the new Secretary of Homeland Security.

383
00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:39,119
He's got his hands full. I think he is a

384
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,000
he has very successful business experience, so let's see if

385
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,759
he can apply that to the Department of Homeland Security.

386
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,839
But there's a lot of people pointing the finger at

387
00:21:52,880 --> 00:22:00,000
the Democrats, including Joe Scarborough Mourning Joe the favorite program

388
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,240
Democrats in the Morning, and here he has Chuck Schumer

389
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,720
on the show with him this morning. Listen to this conversation.

390
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 13: Is it a good thing that Iran I think you

391
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,759
would agree with me epicenter of terrorism in the worlds

392
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:17,440
in nineteen seventy nine? Is it good that their military

393
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,079
infrastructure is being degraded in the degree that it is yesternight'.

394
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 12: It's you can't because it's a premature question. What is

395
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,839
going to happen in the next several months.

396
00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 13: No, No, I can ask that question, I no, no, no,

397
00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:30,880
I can't let me answer the question for everybody in America.

398
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,319
The answer yes, I just don't agree with you. Well,

399
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,960
what you don't understand me. There's a big difference. I

400
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,119
would say that most Americans would say it's a good

401
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,640
thing that it's degraded.

402
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:41,519
Speaker 8: Wow.

403
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: Are the Democrats being taken down by fellow Democrats?

404
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 8: Not sure?

405
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: John Fetterman, he's also not happy with the Democrats, even

406
00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:54,359
though he is one.

407
00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:57,759
Speaker 5: But I'm saying is that I refuse to always vote

408
00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:00,920
to shut our government down. I would never be a

409
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:06,200
part of this mess. This shutdown has created across America's

410
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:12,079
airports now now constant constantly speaking to TSA agents, and

411
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,319
every single one of them are saying we are hurting

412
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,240
and we haven't been paid. And remind people they earn

413
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,039
average about fifty thousand dollars a year. They rely on

414
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:26,359
their pay checks now and now even not being paid,

415
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,240
they have to face those crowds now. So I just

416
00:23:31,319 --> 00:23:34,720
can't imagine why we want to continue these things. Just

417
00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:38,000
like the fast shut down, the only people that loses

418
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,039
are the workers and America.

419
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: So that's we're recording this podcast today on Tuesday, afternoon.

420
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,519
There's rumor that they're may be able to come up

421
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:51,640
with some sort of solution, but I haven't seen it yet.

422
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,319
John Kennedy, the Senator from Louisiana, had this to say.

423
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 14: Well, well, Senator Schumer, in this instance anyway, he's lying.

424
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:10,480
He's lying like fish swim. I mean, here's what's going on.

425
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:19,119
We've been We've had DHS shut down for thirty eight days.

426
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,000
I think the Democrats at one point voted to fund

427
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:27,920
DHS and then they backtracked. We've been debating the Save

428
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,480
Act for I don't know ten days. I guess we're stuck.

429
00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:37,920
I'm a big believer that when you're stuck, you ought

430
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,720
to try to plow around the stump, not through it.

431
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:47,000
So Senator Cruise and I a few days ago came

432
00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:51,240
up with a two step process to solve both problems.

433
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,480
Step one, we would open up everything at I at

434
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:03,480
DHS except ICE, including TSA, which the Democrats have already

435
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:07,359
agreed to. And then we would UH, we would fund

436
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:13,480
ICE through reconciliation, which we could do only with Republican votes.

437
00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:17,599
We wouldn't need any Democratic votes. I don't speak for

438
00:25:17,759 --> 00:25:20,640
Senator Cruise on this part of it. But I also

439
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:26,720
have suggested that we use the reconciliation process with only

440
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:32,599
Republican votes to pass the Save Act. Now, Senator we

441
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,759
pitched this to Senator Thune a couple of days ago.

442
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:38,680
He pitched it to President Trump.

443
00:25:39,599 --> 00:25:39,839
Speaker 5: Uh.

444
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 14: President Trump, as you know from his his tweets, said no.

445
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,160
But I talked to Senator Thune last night and he

446
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,079
says the President has reconsidered and maybe on board.

447
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're talking about the reconciliation process means something

448
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,640
that has to do with the buy It has to

449
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,079
do with money. All you need is fifty one vote.

450
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:10,000
You don't need sixty otherwise you need sixty under regular order.

451
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,839
So Kennedy addressed that as well.

452
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 14: I think we can clearly do it for Ice. The

453
00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:21,119
doing it for the Save Act is a closer question.

454
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:25,960
And look, some the Senate has a lot of lawyers,

455
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:32,839
and on both sides, and they're all good lawyers. I mean,

456
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,359
they're all astonishing, the self assured all of us think

457
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,839
that we're you know, we're Oliver Wendell's Khalia. But what

458
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,599
I would do is enlist some outside help that has

459
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,119
a lot of experience with a budget control Act. I've

460
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,759
seen things passed muster under the Budget Control Act that

461
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,400
I didn't think had a hope in hell. And I've

462
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,319
seen some that couldn't pass my suster that I thought

463
00:27:01,319 --> 00:27:05,400
were slam dunks. But it's our only shot. I mean,

464
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,920
it's our only shot, and I think it's worth taking it.

465
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:14,799
The American people are tired of us speechifying and yelling

466
00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:16,960
at each other. I'm tired of it.

467
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, some of the reports are quick, others are

468
00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:23,599
more between four and five hours. I wouldn't stand in

469
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,720
line for fourig No, you're not going to find me

470
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:32,839
doing that. The President thinks that they should pass this

471
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,960
legislation for Jesus.

472
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:41,079
Speaker 15: I'm tying homeland security into voter identification with picture and

473
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,200
proof of citizen citizenship in order to vote. And those

474
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,279
two items are the most important thing having to do

475
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,920
with homeland security. So it's part. It should be part

476
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,200
of the Homeland Security bill, and I'm requesting that the

477
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,559
Republican Senators do that immediately. You don't have to take

478
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:02,400
a fast vote, don't worry about Easter going home. In fact,

479
00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:04,720
make this one for Jesus.

480
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:10,279
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think that complicates this because just have

481
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:15,440
a vote, a straight vote about funding TSA then have

482
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:19,279
another vote about the SA the Save Act, but putting

483
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:25,400
them together just creates more and more problems. Update on

484
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:32,880
the plane crash at LaGuardia. This is this is going

485
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,480
to be an interesting investigation because there's all kinds of

486
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:40,119
things that apparently went wrong. I just got a flash

487
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,799
just a little while ago, and it said that the

488
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,319
runway safety system allowing air traffic controllers to track movements

489
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:54,079
of planes and vehicles did not work. Every vehicle that

490
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:58,920
is driving around on airport property, they have a transponder

491
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,359
in them so that they can controllers can see where

492
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,759
they are, and there are alert systems. If they start

493
00:29:04,759 --> 00:29:08,200
getting close to a runway, air traffic control gets an alert.

494
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:14,119
There's also before you cross a runway, namely, the fire

495
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:17,720
truck was going to cross runway for at LaGuardia, there

496
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,319
are a whole row of lights and those lights are

497
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,200
flashing red if there's a plane on the runway. I

498
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,200
don't know if the fire if it wasn't working or

499
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:33,880
the people driving the fire truck didn't see it. The

500
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,039
people driving the fire truck should have looked. Even though

501
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:41,720
they were given a clearance to cross runway four, they

502
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:46,480
still need to look. I've seen this, and I drove

503
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:48,960
an emergency I've drove ambulance when I was in college

504
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,759
that was a highway patrol. When I drove in emergency vehicles,

505
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:56,839
I drove emergency vehicles of different sizes. When you're going

506
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,400
through an intersection, a lot of there's people that drive

507
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,640
emergency vehicles that think that they are somehow protected by

508
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:08,200
emergency vehicle angels or I don't know what they're thinking,

509
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:12,480
but they go blowing through intersections thinking that the lights

510
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,799
and sirens will keep everybody away. But if you've ever

511
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,440
driven an emergency vehicle, you know that there's people just

512
00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:23,240
don't hear you, or they don't know where you're coming from,

513
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:27,440
and so you need to slow down at intersections, even

514
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:31,440
though you got your lights and sirens going. And so

515
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,519
the people in the fire truck, even though they had

516
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:39,599
their lights going, and I don't know if they had

517
00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:42,880
a siren going, but the pilots when you come into

518
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,000
an airport, there is so much ground clutter and so

519
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:50,240
many lights that are flashing. They're all over the place.

520
00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:53,240
That fire truck would not have stood out, and the

521
00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:58,480
fire truck operator needed to slow down to see if

522
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:01,640
there was a plane on the before they crossed it.

523
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,599
I don't care that they got the okay from the tower.

524
00:31:06,039 --> 00:31:08,720
The tower, yeah, they made a mistake. They even admitted

525
00:31:08,759 --> 00:31:12,279
they messed up. So you got the tower that made

526
00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:15,119
a mistake, You've got the people driving the fire truck

527
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,920
made a mistake. Maybe you've got the system to alert

528
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,000
the air traffic controllers of a vehicle coming toward the runway.

529
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:27,640
You've got the light system that should have been flashing red.

530
00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:34,599
It doesn't sound like a lot of things went went

531
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,160
the way they were supposed to. Here's the head of

532
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:38,960
the NTSP.

533
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,599
Speaker 16: They have a lot of questions for air traffic control,

534
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,960
everything from workload at the time, who was communicating, who

535
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:49,680
was in the tower cab, who was in the facility,

536
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,640
what the changeover was like for the new shift, which

537
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,640
is the midnight shift. We have questions about communications and

538
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,119
then that will be revealed on the cockpit voice recorder,

539
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,880
which we were able to recover in the flight data recorder.

540
00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:10,680
Our air traffic control specialist who was in line with

541
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:17,039
TSA for three hours until we called in Houston to

542
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,960
beg to see if we can get her through so

543
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,079
we can get her here.

544
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,839
Speaker 11: So it's been.

545
00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 16: A really, really big challenge to get the entire team here.

546
00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:32,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, joined the crowd. I mean, every business traveler has

547
00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:35,799
a company they're responsible. Now, I'm sorry your investigator could

548
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:39,759
not get through a three hour line any faster. There

549
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:43,759
wasn't anything. The plane had already crashed, It wasn't going

550
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:46,599
to move. The fire truck was still on its side

551
00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:49,119
on the runway.

552
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:50,599
Speaker 8: Anyway.

553
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,759
Speaker 1: But the NTSB does a great job. But I thought

554
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:56,640
that was a little bit much that she was complaining

555
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,440
about her investigator couldn't get through the three Well, there

556
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,720
was a lot of people that couldn't get through all

557
00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:09,759
right Wall Street today, Well, it was all over the map.

558
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,279
One of the things about that I'm concerned about, I'll

559
00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:18,480
share it with you. With the President threatening to take

560
00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:22,640
action within forty eight hours, and the markets all tanked

561
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:26,160
after he did that. That was over the weekend, and

562
00:33:26,279 --> 00:33:29,960
the futures markets were all sharply lower. In the overseas

563
00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:34,400
markets in Japan and Singapore, they took a huge dive.

564
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,400
And I can't help but wonder if the President saw

565
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:43,319
that and said I better say something about we're working

566
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:47,079
out some sort of negotiation. I wonder if that did

567
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:51,799
play into it. Was Is he trying to manipulate the

568
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,559
market when it tanks and try to boost it by

569
00:33:54,559 --> 00:33:58,599
saying something positive at the same time. President Trump has

570
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,799
always long before he was president, he does overseell. He's

571
00:34:03,839 --> 00:34:08,679
a salesman. He does overseell, over promise, and so that

572
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,119
boosts the price of stocks, higher, price of oil goes down.

573
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,639
I wonder if he's got any if that's part of

574
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:22,159
what's going on. I'm just talking out loud with you

575
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:26,800
here about this. It does concern me. But today the

576
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:32,159
markets started off way down three hundred plus points, came

577
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,559
back to be positive by I don't know, one hundred

578
00:34:36,559 --> 00:34:39,960
points or so, then down below where we started, then

579
00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:43,760
back above again, and then finished on a decline, not

580
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,960
a big one, but it was quite a road to

581
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,559
get there. The Dow down eighty four to finish at

582
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:55,000
forty six one twenty four. The S and P it

583
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,440
was down twenty four to win, above and below the

584
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:01,840
where we started this morning, but down twenty fourth the end.

585
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,920
The Nasdaq same, down one hundred and eighty four. It

586
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,280
never got back to where we started this morning, but

587
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,199
it was up and down, up and down below The

588
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,199
water one price of gold was up and seeing that

589
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,679
for a while, up fifty dollars to four thousand and

590
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,440
four to fifty seven and oil from where we started

591
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,599
this morning. It was also a roller coaster, but at

592
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:28,480
the end it was diving. It had been up around

593
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:32,079
ninety two dollars for a high, but it's still finished

594
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:37,199
above where we started this morning, up one dollar price

595
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,119
of a barrel of oil. West Texas Intermediate eighty nine

596
00:35:41,199 --> 00:35:44,360
dollars for a barrel of oil. So that's it for today.

597
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,199
Thank you for coming by. We will be back again

598
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,599
tomorrow and I hope to see you
