00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,719
Speaker 1: And welcome. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Big Podcast on

2
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,839
this Monday today. It's the twenty sixth day of January,

3
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,039
Year of Our Lord, two thousand and twenty six. My

4
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:42,679
name is Tom Sullivan. Well, Minneapolis is an American city

5
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:46,960
at war with our federal authorities. That was one of

6
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,399
the headlines I saw earlier today, and it does seem

7
00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:54,280
that way. We've got people talking about the fact that

8
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:58,679
ice has gone into all these various cities and they

9
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:03,520
have gone after the illegal that they're looking for, the

10
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:11,519
targeted illegal alien criminals, and there hasn't been any of this.

11
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,560
Maybe a little bit of protest, but not much. There

12
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,319
was in Chicago, but there were not and there was

13
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,400
some in Los Angeles, but not to the extent that

14
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,439
we're seeing in Minneapolis. So if you're just coming out

15
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,840
of a cave, hope you survive. For most of you

16
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,120
in the country survived the winter storm. Over the weekend.

17
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:43,480
On Saturday, there was a protest in Minneapolis. You watched

18
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,799
the video of it. Something was going on where they

19
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,239
had some Ice agents on this street look like a

20
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,319
commercial street. There were a number of shops along the

21
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:55,799
way and there were a couple of people that stood

22
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,359
out in the roadway. Traffic was able to get by,

23
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,920
and then behind, way back, half a block behind them

24
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:09,759
was this guy standing there with his camera video weeing

25
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,960
what was going on, and he moved up on the

26
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,240
two people that were standing there. One was a woman.

27
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:19,919
I'm not sure about the other person, but the one woman,

28
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:24,479
one of the ICE agents came over. Border patrol agents

29
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,120
came over and shoved her to the ground. And the

30
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:32,680
guy that had been further back that had now moved up,

31
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:36,599
was recording all of this and he went to go

32
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,719
help the woman, and the ICE agents swarmed him and

33
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:47,520
pushed him down, sprayed him with pepper spray a couple

34
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,960
of different times, and in the melee while he was

35
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,960
on the ground, he was shot and killed. So yep,

36
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:58,520
when I saw the news on Saturday, oh boy, not

37
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:05,080
another one. His name is Alex Pretty. He's a nurse

38
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,479
at one of the hospital, the VA Hospital in Minneapolis,

39
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,360
in intensive care. I've talked about this before, I'll say

40
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,599
it again. If you want to go to a protest,

41
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:20,879
that you're right. You certainly have the right to go

42
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,080
to a protest, But if you want to be on

43
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,479
the I mean, I understand getting front row seats for

44
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,400
a concert. I don't understand wanting to be in the

45
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:35,400
front row of a protest. And this guy got was

46
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:40,000
out there recording exactly what Governor Walls told the people

47
00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:44,439
of Minnesota to do. Get your cameras ready and record

48
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:48,120
anything you see. And so this guy, this nurse, was

49
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:53,639
out there recording what was going on, saw the heavy

50
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,759
handedness of one of the officers pushing this woman down

51
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,479
on the ground. He went to her, aid, seemed normal,

52
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:05,759
and then they swarmed in on him. And the other

53
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,479
part about this, which is always, I guess disturbing to me,

54
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:16,759
is I have been pepper sprayed. I've in the army

55
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:20,920
and also when I was in law enforcement. Pepper spray, well,

56
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:23,560
let me read the definition to you. A non lethal

57
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,399
inflammatory agent used for self defense and to cause immediate

58
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,600
temporary blindness, respiratory distress, and intense burning sensations, usually lasting

59
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,600
up to forty five minutes, effective up to ten to

60
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,480
twenty five feet I've seen them use this over and over,

61
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,439
rather liberally. They use it all the time. They just

62
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,199
spray people right up in their face, not ten to

63
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:58,160
twenty five feet away. It does seem pretty aggressive. It

64
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,040
seems heavy handed. So as we come to the podcast

65
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:09,199
this afternoon, we've got the President asking earlier today for

66
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,480
Tom Holman to head to Minneapolis, and he's on his

67
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,040
way there this evening. Here's the true social that he

68
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:20,959
put out. He said to this is President Trump saying,

69
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:23,879
I am sending Tom Holman to Minnesota tonight. He has

70
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:27,439
not been involved in that area, but knows and likes

71
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,800
many of the people there. Tom is tough, but fair,

72
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:35,480
and he will report directly to me. Separately, a major

73
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:38,439
investigation is going on with respect to the massive twenty

74
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:42,759
billion dollar plus welfare fraud, and it goes on talking about

75
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:46,040
the fraud and everything else that's going on there. Later,

76
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:50,480
the President put out another true social He said, Governor

77
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,639
Tim Wallas called me with the request to work together

78
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,600
with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call,

79
00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:02,279
and we actually seem to be on similar wavelength. I

80
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,759
told Governor Walls that I would have Tom Holman call

81
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:08,680
him and that what we are looking for are any

82
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,040
and all criminals that they have in their possession. The

83
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:16,480
Governor very respectfully understood, and I will be speaking to

84
00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:18,360
him in the near future. He was happy that Tom

85
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:21,480
Holman was going to Minnesota. And so am I. We

86
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,800
have had tremendous success in Washington, d C. Memphis, Tennessee,

87
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:29,639
New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually every other place that we

88
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,759
have touched, and even in Minnesota, crime is way down,

89
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,639
but both governor walls that I want to make it better.

90
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:42,480
Signed President Donald J. Trump. Okay, so the second shooting

91
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:51,439
and the reaction by Christinome and Steven Miller and Greg Bovino,

92
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,199
I'm sorry, but they just made up a version that

93
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,839
the video did not comport with, not at all. So

94
00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:04,759
that's the other part. This is where I've said there's

95
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:07,360
no leadership Christine Oman. You know, I don't like her.

96
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,480
I don't She doesn't have an ounce of law enforcement

97
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:15,480
knowledge or background or experience. I mean she she just

98
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:20,759
likes to do dress up things. Talk about the fact

99
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,399
that Tom Holman going to Minnesota is a slap in

100
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:27,920
the face of Christine Oman. And I don't know the

101
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:31,639
President really likes her. So we'll see if he still

102
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,279
really likes her or not. But there are changes underway.

103
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:40,879
And Greg Bovino, the head of the Border Patrol, he

104
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,319
we're getting worried that he is going to be leaving

105
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:49,519
Minnesota tomorrow. They didn't say where. They're not saying anything

106
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:54,759
about demoting him, but being the head of the border patrol.

107
00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:57,439
Border patrol is a whole different animal than policing in

108
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,279
a city, and I don't I think anybody has been

109
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:04,639
in charge. One thing about Tom Holman. He has been

110
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:09,680
a cop his whole life. He understands law enforcement, and

111
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:13,439
so I am looking forward to this. Looks like there's

112
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:17,560
a pivot of some kind to try to get past

113
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:23,399
this war between Minneapolis and the federal government. There are

114
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:27,360
a lot of people apparently within the Department of Homeland Security.

115
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,639
They won't name names, so so I know it's unnamed accusations,

116
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,080
but apparently from various reporters in various networks and various

117
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,639
newspapers are reporting that a lot of the DHS officials

118
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,240
are very upset with what's going on. They can't say

119
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:49,440
anything because christinomes the boss, and yet they don't agree

120
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,279
with what is the department is doing. The head of

121
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:58,879
the International Association of Chiefs of Police has reached out

122
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:03,320
to the White House to convene a meeting with the

123
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,679
police chiefs of the country with the President. Because everybody

124
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,360
that I've talked to that has any sort of law

125
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,799
enforcement knowledge is going. This isn't going. This isn't going well,

126
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,960
and it makes all police look bad. It makes them

127
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:20,840
look heavy handed, it makes their I mean, they're they're

128
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,080
really pushing people around and spraying them in their face

129
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,960
with very well what appears to be aggressive reasons. And

130
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,799
so police, uh DHS officials, a lot of people are

131
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:39,879
ting this has got to change the Wall Street Journal today.

132
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,519
I don't mean to reach pat myself on the back,

133
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:44,600
but remember last week I was telling you about the

134
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,159
fact that this might be a time for the ICE

135
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,639
to do a pause in Minneapolis and be the bigger

136
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,120
be the bigger person. I know you've got more resources,

137
00:09:57,159 --> 00:10:00,159
you can bring in thousands of more people, but the

138
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,360
it really needs somebody because I don't think the governor

139
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:08,360
of Minnesota or the mayor of Minneapolis are very bright people,

140
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,159
and I don't. So you're going to need to go

141
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,559
to people who can sit back and think about this

142
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,000
on how to approach this. You can still do two things.

143
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,320
You can pull back and have a more strategic approach

144
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,039
to picking up illegals in Minneapolis and at the same

145
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,559
time enforced deportation. You can do both. And so here's

146
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:36,360
the Wall Street Journal time for Ice to pause in Minneapolis.

147
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:41,480
Alex pretty made a mistake, but he wasn't a domestic terrorist.

148
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,519
That's what Stephen Miller called him. A domestic terrorist Saturday afternoon.

149
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,080
You go, come on, Stephen Miller. So there even the

150
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,399
Wall Street Journals looking and going, you know, federal government

151
00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:58,399
be the bigger person. Take a step back. Let's let's

152
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,559
refigure out how we're going to go find those people.

153
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,559
And the people that we're talking about. There's even disagreement

154
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,440
on that. The federal government says that Minneapolis has thirteen

155
00:11:08,519 --> 00:11:11,639
hundred and some prisoners in their jails or the state

156
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,480
has them in their prisons that are here illegally and

157
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:21,279
they are criminals. The governor today said just the opposite.

158
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:27,200
The State of Minnesota put out a notice today that

159
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,360
disputes the claims by Department of Homeland Security. The State

160
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:38,399
Survey said Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell stated the survey of

161
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,440
all county jails found ninety four non citizens in local

162
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,519
jail custody with ICE detainers, plus two hundred and seven

163
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:51,840
in state prisons, for a total of roughly three hundred,

164
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:58,200
not thirteen hundred and The governor also claimed that they

165
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,159
this whole business of not turning them over to ICE

166
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,720
is false. He says that they turned them over all

167
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:11,639
the time to ICE. So somebody we have to get

168
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,159
the facts figured out here, because what Department of Homeland

169
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,320
Security is claiming and what the State of Minnesota is

170
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,200
claiming drastically different numbers about the number of illegals held

171
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,399
in jails or prisons in the state of Minnesota. Frey Goudy,

172
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:36,399
the former prosecutor former congressman, waited on these discrepancies.

173
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: I don't even think he has to talk to both sides.

174
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:41,120
I think he has to get state and local law

175
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,600
enforcement to stop working against federal law enforcement. And who

176
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:48,600
better to do that than a lifelong cop. I mean,

177
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:51,159
I think a lot of what you're seeing in Minneapolis

178
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,799
you would not be seeing if there were coordination between

179
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,240
all of law enforcement. State cops have more intel, federal

180
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:04,039
cops have more resources. Almost everywhere they work together, but

181
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:07,879
they're not in Minnesota. Hopefully Tom can change that. I'm

182
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:09,720
sure that's what the President thinks.

183
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, The governor dis continuing to ramp up the inflammatory

184
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,039
talk again prior to the President's conversation with him on

185
00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:23,600
the phone. This is Governor Waltz from last night talking

186
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:26,879
about how this is just like Ann Frank.

187
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: We have got children and Minnesota hiding in their houses,

188
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,879
afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading

189
00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:40,759
that story of Anne Frank. Somebody's going to write that

190
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,399
children's story about Minnesota.

191
00:13:42,759 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: Can you say, way too far over the top? The

192
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,080
Holocaust Museum, a number of Jewish organizations appalled at him.

193
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:53,639
The six million Jews were killed, That's not what's going

194
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:59,879
on in Minnesota. Meantime, I've criticized the leadership of both

195
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:03,399
the federal government and the state government on this matter,

196
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,759
and Trey Goudy thinks pretty closely the same thing.

197
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: Oh do you minishal Well, they both have dropped the ball.

198
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,279
I mean Tim Wallas has dropped the ball too. I

199
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,639
mean he just could not be more wrong about his

200
00:14:17,759 --> 00:14:21,679
assessment of why this happened. The administration. I think there's

201
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,440
a temptation in our culture to be first, even at

202
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:27,200
the expense of being right. You only have to watch

203
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,799
this video a couple of times to know it is

204
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:35,559
a very fact intensive inquiry. It could come down it

205
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,720
could come down to which of those ten shots was

206
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,759
actually the fatal shot, and I think what frustrates people.

207
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,559
You remember Kyle Rittenhouse and how he was made a

208
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,679
hero on the right. I am sure there are people

209
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,639
on the conservative side who are saying, wait a minute,

210
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,600
you mean you can't take a firearm to a protest

211
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,799
because you were just celebrating the guy for doing it.

212
00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:05,039
Couple of years ago, Alex Pretty's firearm was lawfully being carried.

213
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,039
It's lawful to carry a gun in Minnesota. He never

214
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,000
brandish it, he didn't point it at the cops.

215
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: No, you can see the video. This Alex Petty was

216
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,360
Pretty was had his bone out phone in his hand.

217
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:23,399
That's what he had in his hand. You didn't see

218
00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:26,399
the gun until the cops pulled it off of him.

219
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,919
The Kyle Rittenhouse that Trey was referring to, remember the guy.

220
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,159
He was a seventeen year old kid who drove from

221
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:41,120
Illinois up to Kenosha, Wisconsin and had an AR fifteen

222
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:46,600
and shot three people, killed two of them, and they

223
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,519
brought him to trial and tried to convict him and

224
00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:55,399
he was acquitted. So, yes, you can bring a firearm

225
00:15:55,559 --> 00:16:00,799
in Minnesota. It's legal to carry. And he had apparently

226
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,600
a concealed weapons permit. Just because you can, does that

227
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,960
mean it's smart. But that was his decision and that

228
00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:13,639
really had no bearing on what happened. The border patrol

229
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,320
or ice who wherever was, shoved him to the ground,

230
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:19,159
sprayed him in his face a couple of times, and

231
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:25,320
somebody said gun, and then the one officer took the gun.

232
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,919
You can see him backing away from the rest of

233
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,840
the crowd and that's when the shots went off. So

234
00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:36,799
this does not look good for whoever the officer was

235
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:39,320
who killed him, and it doesn't look good for Christy

236
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:45,679
Nome who jumped to her conclusions. This was from Saturday afternoon,

237
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:49,440
within two hours of the time that mister Prutti was killed,

238
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,799
and she came to the microphones and said the following.

239
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: This individual went and impeded their law enforcement operations, attacked

240
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,519
those officers, had a weapon on him and multiple dozens

241
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:05,720
of rounds of ammunition, wishing to inflict harm on these officers,

242
00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:08,759
coming brandishing like that and impeding their work that they

243
00:17:08,759 --> 00:17:09,240
were doing.

244
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,759
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think he was impeding, but he was

245
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:16,920
out in the street and they were ordering the people

246
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,480
out of the street. There was all two ladies and

247
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:24,240
him and ma'am. They pushed them all to the ground.

248
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,000
It was rather startling, but he wasn't attacking them. He

249
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:32,680
wasn't brandishing his gun. I didn't see any gun anywhere.

250
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,480
But maybe it will come out in the investigation, and that,

251
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,200
more than anything else, is what really needs to be

252
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:41,920
the final word here is his actions need to be

253
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,960
part and the officers actions need to be part of

254
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,839
an investigation. So now the question is is the federal

255
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:55,880
government going to include the Minneapolis authorities in the investigation.

256
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
That's another big argument that they've got to solve. Maybe

257
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:01,720
with Tom Holm and going there, he can talk to

258
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:05,559
Governor Walton get that straightened around. Also, get straightened around

259
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:07,880
the whole question about do they have a couple hundred

260
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,440
illegals in their prisons or jails or three thousand or

261
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:17,160
thirteen hundred or what number is it. Paul Morrow weighs

262
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,000
in on getting that dispute solved.

263
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 5: I would agree, However, the President has set out some

264
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,680
very clear and definitive metrics relative to what constitutes quote

265
00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:34,319
unquote cooperation, and he starts with the demand, essentially that

266
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:39,000
those illegals who are in the custody of the Minnesota

267
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:43,880
correction system get turned over for deportation. I've seen no

268
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,559
inclination from Tim Waals to do that, and that seems

269
00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:51,000
to be right the sort of redline that the President

270
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,000
is setting out right up front. I have a feeling

271
00:18:54,039 --> 00:18:57,279
that if that were to be done, Tim Waltz would

272
00:18:57,319 --> 00:18:59,680
have just as much of a riot problem as he

273
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:03,000
has right now. So I think there's some gamesmanship going

274
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,839
on here. Let's see what this quote unquote cooperation actually

275
00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:06,240
looks like.

276
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,039
Speaker 1: And Jonathan Turley, the constitutional law professor at George Washington Is,

277
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,519
also raises some very good questions.

278
00:19:16,519 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 6: Well, I do believe that there was an unforced error

279
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,839
with regard to the administration and their initial accounts of

280
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,599
this shooting. Those accounts are not born out by those videotapes.

281
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,440
I mean, it does not appear that he was threatening

282
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,640
the officer. It appears that this certainly escalated after that

283
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,680
first contact, and that is not the impression you received

284
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,799
from those early statements. And so I think that what

285
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,079
you see with the White House today is an attempt

286
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,920
to really use Holman to offer a reset. You know

287
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,519
that they're going to send someone new there. Let's see

288
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:51,079
what you can offer. I agree with Paul that on

289
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,559
that list are things that Walls will not be able

290
00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:57,359
to to necessarily hand over. You know, he's been leading

291
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,720
the mob. It's very hard when you lead the mob

292
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:04,519
to suddenly stop and say, okay, well now let's cooperate

293
00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:09,640
and work together. You had people marching over the weekend

294
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,759
with signs saying kill the Nazis. Now Waltz is the

295
00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:15,839
guy who's been referring to Ice as Gestapo. So there's

296
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,119
still a lot that has to be overcome politically in Minnesota.

297
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,680
With regard to the shooting, there are legitimate questions that

298
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:27,480
have to be investigated. It does not appear that he

299
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,000
was violent or threatening the officers initially. He was not

300
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,680
obeying orders. That is also clear. He came back into

301
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,640
the road after being told to get out of the road.

302
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,319
But what we really need to see is that that

303
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,640
short period before you hear an officer say gun, there's

304
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,160
an indication that one of the officers removed his gun,

305
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:56,559
and during that period one of the other officers said

306
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,359
gun and the shooting occurred shortly after that. You have

307
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,039
to look at whether that was a panic shot by

308
00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:06,319
the officer or whether the officers were seeing something with

309
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,759
regard to the suspect's hands. Was he trying to reach

310
00:21:09,839 --> 00:21:12,640
for that gun or another gun? We simply don't know.

311
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,400
And that's the reason I think that. Look, Minnesota is

312
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,799
right in one respect. They should be part of the investigation,

313
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:23,279
and I don't think the administration gives up much certainly

314
00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:25,799
by allowing them to be part of that. This is

315
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:32,200
obviously an incredibly traumatic moment for everyone involved. Minnesota should

316
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,200
be part of that process. But Minnesota, for its part,

317
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,720
has got to step forward and show greater responsibility. Governor

318
00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:45,599
Walltz just referred to the taking of individuals for removal

319
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,519
under a federal law as analogous to capturing people for genocide.

320
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:53,319
He actually said that the children of Minnesota are like

321
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,839
Anne Frank. That's the type of rhetoric that is still

322
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,240
coming out of the governor's office.

323
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep thinking back to It was sometime last week

324
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,839
when Walsh came out and said to Minnesotan's get your

325
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,279
get your cameras and get out there and record everything

326
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:14,519
the ice officers are doing. That's what this this Alex

327
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:18,000
pretty was doing. He had his camera out and was

328
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,240
videoing what the ice officers were doing on that commercial street.

329
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,680
So he has blood on his hands. He told Alex

330
00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:31,079
pretty what to do, and Alex pretty went out and

331
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,799
did exactly what his governor told him to do and

332
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:39,079
he wound up dead. Not smart, all right, So we'll

333
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:42,000
see how Tom Holman does. But let's move on to

334
00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:45,720
some other things. There is a We've talked about the

335
00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:49,480
fact that Canada has been getting close to China and

336
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:55,480
they've agreed to let China sell Chinese made automobiles in Canada.

337
00:22:56,279 --> 00:23:00,200
And I've told you what I've seen. Those cars are

338
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,920
are enormously inexpensive, and their beautiful cars. So will they

339
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,200
come into the United States. Apparently they're going to be

340
00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:12,319
banned to come into the US. But it reminds me

341
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,880
of back in the seventies when Detroit was making lousy

342
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,839
cars and the Japanese automobiles arrived and they did everything

343
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:24,960
they could to protect the American auto industry. I'm all

344
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:28,160
for that, but the American automobile industry has to do

345
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:34,839
their part by making good, competitive christ automobiles. But meantime,

346
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,319
this led to a big ruck is between Canada and

347
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,319
the President, and the President said, if they go through

348
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,480
with a deal with China, the President's going to put

349
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:50,079
a one hundred percent tiff on every Canadian product coming

350
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:56,200
into this country. Kevin o'larry, who is Canadian, mister wonderful,

351
00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:57,960
responded to that.

352
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: But for reasons most people don't see.

353
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 7: But let me explain it by the numbers, because as

354
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,720
you know, I look through all of these issues as

355
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:10,519
an investor. So Trump hasn't talked about Canada for almost

356
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:12,960
fourteen weeks, and all of a sudden, in that speech

357
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,559
in DeVos, the spitball fight between the two of them,

358
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:19,079
all of a sudden it became top agend item for

359
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:19,799
both countries.

360
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,039
Speaker 3: But here's why it's important.

361
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 7: If you actually look at the Canadian index the stock market,

362
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,720
in the last twelve months, it has doubled the performance

363
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,920
of the US. If you look at the Canadian dollar,

364
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:34,000
it's an up an additional five point two percent. You've

365
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:37,960
basically made almost forty percent going long Canada. Because the

366
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:42,640
market believes that these two countries have to unite one

367
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,440
way or another economically, not from a sovereign basis. And

368
00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:49,680
Trump made that clear just joining the dots for everybody.

369
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,279
Now when he said Greenland was a strategic importance in

370
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,359
terms of missile defense, Now everybody knows you've got Alaska.

371
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,079
Everybody knows you've got green line on these now, or

372
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,680
should have it sounds like it, But the big hole

373
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,079
in the middle, that's Canada. That's the nora Ad Agreement.

374
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,599
And that technology is so old up there. You have

375
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,960
to go out of the tent with a firecracker lighter

376
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,160
to get a missile going. It's floppy discs, it's nineteen

377
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:17,599
sixties technology. So billions have to be spent. If you

378
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,200
want a defense dome, Canada's got to be part of it.

379
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,039
And frankly, the countries need each other. You know, seventy

380
00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:26,039
percent of what's purchased out of Canada comes out of

381
00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:28,880
the United States. So this is the beginning, and I'm

382
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,559
very proud to make I think this announcement of a negotiation.

383
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: I know it sounds.

384
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 7: Crazy, but these two have to kiss and make up

385
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:42,480
because both have something the other desperately needs. One of

386
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:45,960
the challenges because I invest in ag tech and so

387
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,079
when you tariff pot ash and you don't make enough

388
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:51,599
of it yourself, it's just a tariff on farmers, and

389
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,920
so you've got to give them back something. And that's

390
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,240
what he's doing. This is his constituency for the midterms,

391
00:25:57,279 --> 00:25:59,920
and no question about it. But I've always felt that,

392
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,079
you know, pot ash was made by bats hundreds of

393
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:05,319
thousands of years ago, and they happen to do their

394
00:26:05,319 --> 00:26:08,160
poo poo in Saskatchewan because that's what potash is, and

395
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,880
it's the number one fertilizer. It's a batpoo but it's

396
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,400
all up in Saskatchewan. So why tariff it? I mean,

397
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,480
it makes no sense. So we lit'll fine tuning on

398
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:18,559
the tariffs or just a moratorium on things you don't

399
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:20,920
make enough of like software, lumber. But I think he

400
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,319
can fine tune that before the midterms if that's what

401
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,920
he's doing, and the best at comment kind of ties

402
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:26,200
to it.

403
00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

404
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,799
Speaker 7: You're one hundred percent right when you say Canada has

405
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:31,839
to spend more money. So I think where we're going

406
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,759
with this ultimately before Trump has left the administration, is

407
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:39,000
that these two economies are going to be united. I think,

408
00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:40,400
no tariffs, and then we're going to go to the

409
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,079
Chinese and say we're spending five percent of GDP of

410
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,319
this behemoth United economy and we're looking at you, guys.

411
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,799
Don't mess with us, because it'll be the biggest economy

412
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:51,000
on earth by miles. The Chinese will never catch up.

413
00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:53,160
That's where we're going with all of this.

414
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,279
Speaker 1: Okay, So tomorrow the President goes to Iowa. It's part

415
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,720
of this get him out to domestic tre and do

416
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,359
basically campaigning like it's twenty twenty four. That's what Suzy

417
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,240
Wilds says. So he's going to Iowa. We're going to

418
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,599
be talking about farms and agriculture and the question about

419
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,519
the business of agriculture with Canada, and so that's why

420
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:21,240
that's all a big important deal. Tomorrow. Also on your

421
00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:25,920
calendar for tomorrow, the Federal Reserve meets tomorrow and Wednesday

422
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:31,599
to decide what to do about interest rates. Nobody is

423
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,079
guessing that they're going to change interest rates one iota.

424
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:39,920
The forest the race, I mean, the President said he

425
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,799
was going to pick his next Federal Reserve Board chairman

426
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,319
before the end of January. Well that's the end of

427
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,839
this week, and the numbers have shifted on the prediction markets.

428
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:55,160
Rick Ryder, who has always been in the running, is

429
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,200
now according to prediction markets, is in the lead. Fifty

430
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:02,279
percent of the prediction markets say that he will be

431
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:06,559
the next Fed chairman. Kevin Walsh comes in second at

432
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:12,839
twenty seven percent, and Christopher Waller ten percent, and Kevin

433
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,720
has it gone from first to last, He's down to

434
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:20,400
eight percent. This is Rick Ryder is the head of

435
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,000
fixed income, in other words, the bond investors for Blackrock.

436
00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:29,559
He knows the bond market inside and out, which is

437
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,079
exactly what the Fed does every day they work on

438
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:38,240
treasury bonds. So we should be hearing some answers from

439
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,319
the meeting tomorrow and also the Fed on Wednesday on

440
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:43,640
what's going to happen meeting tomorrow and Iowa is what

441
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,799
I'm talking about the economy. We had durable good orders

442
00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:52,319
released today. I don't give much weight to this. The

443
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,319
number was delayed, but it was up five point three percent.

444
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,200
That's better than what was expected. They were looking for

445
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:02,319
four point five five. Durable good orders are things that

446
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,519
last three years or more. Washers, dryers, airplanes are thrown

447
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:11,359
in there, so you can have a big order from

448
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,000
Boeing and the next thing you know, the durable good

449
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:17,839
orders numbers are higher. So I really don't put a

450
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:23,279
lot of weight in that particular indicator. Did you travel

451
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:25,720
over the weekend? I hope not. People are still trying

452
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,079
to figure out how to get home. There were eleven

453
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,440
six hundred flights canceled yesterday. Another four thousand, nine hundred

454
00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:42,559
and two canceled so far today. Sean Duffy, he's the

455
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,400
Transportation Secretary, had this to say.

456
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:49,119
Speaker 8: No, I think you're heading it again. We're getting our

457
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,640
controllers back into towers. That's critical right now, and they

458
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,640
have oftentimes the same kind of problems that a lot

459
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,680
of families do. But again, we have snowplow drivers and

460
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,920
psalteriers who are working ass over time. We've cleared the

461
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,440
hours of service for our truck drivers, so if we

462
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,440
need to get you know, food or other assets to

463
00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:09,599
critical locations, they can drive a little bit longer to

464
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,720
make sure those supplies get to where they need to be.

465
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,640
So at DOT we are fully functioning in our command center,

466
00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:19,559
making sure we're watching what's happening and getting assets into

467
00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:22,039
the right places to keep American safe.

468
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: Now, it was it was a lot of snow in

469
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,200
our backyard. We got almost two feet. I mean in

470
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:36,079
Central Park got just about one foot eleven eleven and

471
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,920
a little more than eleven and a half inches. It's

472
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:42,640
warm in the city, it's much warmer, so the suburbs

473
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,480
we get we get much more snow than they do

474
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,519
in the heart of New York City as far as

475
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,759
ice goes. And I'm not talking about the law enforcement group.

476
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:57,839
I'm talking about you know, the ice. Cold water turns

477
00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:02,920
into ice. It's amazing, the ice storms, the damage that

478
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,200
they do. This is the mayor of Oxford, Mississippi, Robin

479
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:13,319
Tanner Hill, talking about the ice has just devastated her community.

480
00:31:13,599 --> 00:31:16,799
Speaker 9: We've got crews that started at Sunap that are just

481
00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:21,920
going down every electric circuit, removing trees, branches, restoring poles.

482
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:24,960
We need our citizens to steal shelter in place, and

483
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,599
we need our workers to be able to get as

484
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,640
quickly as they can to repair these electric circuits. The

485
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,400
roads are still impassable. It's fifteen degrees here, feels like

486
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,000
six degrees this morning, so our roads froze again overnight.

487
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: I've never lived where you get that kind of ice.

488
00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:47,200
In Oxford, Mississippi, they had one inch of ice. I

489
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:50,319
mean the weight on the power lines, the weight on

490
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,839
the trees. Trying to drive down the road on ice.

491
00:31:54,039 --> 00:32:00,480
Forget it. So we wish to people of not only Oxford, Missisissippi,

492
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,279
but the South got a lot a lot of ice.

493
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:11,039
Super Bowl is set the Seattle Seahawks versus the New

494
00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:18,599
England Patriots. It's a redo of when was that twenty

495
00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:22,319
fifteen February first, twenty fifteen. It was Seattle versus New

496
00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:27,640
England and New England won. The Patriots won twenty eight

497
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,960
to twenty four. I will never forget it. The game.

498
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:34,680
They had seconds to go on the clock. The Seattle

499
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,640
Seahawks were on like the one yard line to go

500
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,599
in for a touchdown. They had Marshawn Lynch ready to

501
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,559
go and because he could barrel through any line whatsoever,

502
00:32:46,039 --> 00:32:52,039
and instead Pete Carroll called for a pass, a pass

503
00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:55,039
and Russell Wilson was the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks,

504
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,839
and he passed the ball at the go line and

505
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:03,720
it was intercepted, and so New England won. Seattle had

506
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,519
it in the bag in New England won, so they

507
00:33:05,559 --> 00:33:09,039
got to redo coming up here in two weeks. So

508
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,799
Super Bowl is always always fun, as far as Wall

509
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:16,319
Street getting back to work today, trudging through the ice

510
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,680
and snow, and of course more electronically than ever before.

511
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,319
But the markets did well. The Dow was up three

512
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,759
hundred and thirteen to close it forty nine thousand and

513
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,519
four to twelve SMP up thirty four NASDAC up one hundred.

514
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,839
Look at that gold for the first time, up twenty

515
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,720
two dollars to five thousand and one five thousand and

516
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:45,599
one dollars for one ounce of gold, and the price

517
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,920
of oil down just a couple of pennies to just

518
00:33:48,079 --> 00:33:51,759
under sixty one dollars for a barrel of oil. Thank

519
00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:54,599
you for coming by. We will be back again tomorrow.

520
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,519
We hope you are too. We'll see you then.

521
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:01,519
