Speaker 1: And welcome.
Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 1: How are you Happy Friday to you on this sixth
day of February, year of our Lord, twenty twenty six.
My name is Tom Sullivan. So we've got we've got
the latest on the search for Nancy Guthrie, we've got
Super Bowl on our mind, we've got Bad Bunny, we've
got kid Rock, we've got the Dow above fifty thousand today. Yes,
so there's a lot to talk about for sure. Me
let me let me. Let me start with the search
for Nancy Guthrie and the fact that there's a deadline
last night of five o'clock and obviously nothing happened. Harvey
Levin from TMZ, who got one of the ransom letters,
said that that wasn't consequential, but the one there's a
deadline on Monday, that is consequential, and that TMZ checked
the bitcoin address where they're supposed to send. How we
don't know the amount of bitcoin, and Harvey said it's
a real address. So we all will wait and see
who's going to blink on this, But the Guthries are
going we need to we need to have it. We
need to find out before we hit the button on
sending you lots of money, that that you have our
mother and that she is alive. So here's a little
bit of Harvey from earlier today.
Speaker 3: Well, in the letter, it says they would return her
back to Tucson. So they also give a timeframe of
how long it would take after they receive the money
to return her to Tucson. So there's a timeframe. Now
if you look at the timeframe, then you say, well,
you can draw a circle around Tucson to see how
long maximum it would take to get her back there.
And she's gonna They're not gonna fly her back because
the last thing they're going to do is go to
an airport where Nancy Guthrie shows id that's not going
to happen. So clearly it would be driving and they're
not going to drive it one hundred miles an hour, uh,
because if they get stopped for speeding, it's over. So
they're going to go it around the speed limit. So
let's say that if this letter is legit, they would
travel at about sixty miles an hour. So based on
this time frame, in the least her and the fact
that she would be returned back to Tucson, here's the
way it was if you look, this is Tucson right here.
If you look at this red circle, that is the
radius of the maximum amount of time it would take
to get her back to Tucson. All around this circle,
it incorporates California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho. It incorporates Colorado, Wyoming,
a little bit of Kansas, and a little bit of Oklahoma.
Now that's a big area for sure, but it is
not the full United States. It's not the world. At least,
it's a defined area.
Speaker 1: So he did for television. He had a big map
of the United States and he drew this big circle
and I don't know how many hours. I'm guessing they
probably said it'll take his three hours to return Nancy
after we get the money. And so that's why he
drew the circle about how far three hours or four
hours whatever it was that they wrote down, And you
heard him, basically, it's almost the entire western United States,
and he left out Mexico. They're only sixteen miles from Mexico.
So where they have her, he's trying to figure out
what distance it is between Tucson and the time it
takes for them to return her. Paul Morrow, former NYPD
reacted to what Harvey was talking about with this map.
Speaker 4: Great point. It tells me one of two things. And
you and I were talking about this. Either that whoever
did that did that by coming in from behind the
doorbell camera, which means they came in a different way
to garage the back and then got to the camera
that way, or just like the other camera that we've
heard about, the subscription had expired, something had gone wrong,
the credit card numbers got changed, the email got changed,
wishing company got changed.
Speaker 1: That I went through.
Speaker 4: There's all kinds of things that happened with these cameras
that the police deal with all the time. It's very
very cood. It's almost like about half the time the
cameras end up being worthless.
Speaker 1: I'm briefly pulled. Yeah, so Paul was talking about, wait
a minute, if you're going to take the camera off
the phone, the ring camera, the nest camera off the
front porch, wouldn't it catch you? And that's why Paul said, no,
the whole account thing was messed up. I actually went
and looked at the ring camera on our house and
looked on them on how far back I went back?
I mean it was I don't know how far back
it goes? I went back to January first, and there
were still tons more video that's saved on my phone.
So I don't know why people they they we bought
a house one time, uh, and it had an alarm system.
And I asked the guy, I said, so, what's the code?
And he says, I don't know, We've never used it.
Why do you have an alarm system? Or why do
you have cameras that not keep them active? In any case,
Paul goes on. Basically they asked him about do you
believe that this ransom note is legit?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: God, that's a tough question about this note. The thing is,
this is what I would be doing were I on
the TESK Force, I would be putting together an extremely
detailed timeline for the following. Is there any way that
the person who wrote that note could have gotten the
details that they're using for to demonstrate the veracity of
the note from watching the reporting, because there was reporting
about them doing the search warrant. The test was doing
the search warrant, you might have gotten the light there.
There was other reporting about the watch.
Speaker 1: Did they get it? There?
Speaker 4: There's images of the mother with the watch. I would
be scraping those websites extremely hard to see an ip
I address that it's those websites to see if it
could have come from a hoaxing.
Speaker 1: So there was a report that was turned into the
Tucson Police before Nancy was abducted of a white van,
an unmarked white van. Isn't there always an unmarked white
van and all these crimes, it seems like they're everywhere,
And then you start looking at white vans, and they
are everywhere. There's a lot of them. But apparently there
was one down the street and one of the neighbors
called it into the police. The police came out, the
van was gone, but Paul was asked about is this
possibly a good lead.
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure. I would put a ton of
stock into that. The one thing I would say is
that it was unusual enough that they did call the
police before this whole story broke. But the nature of
the neighborhood is such that something like that would be there,
and if you read the interview, if somebody sees like
a delivery van or something like that, but it stays
there is a little unusual and because the houses are
very set back from the street, apparently usually people would
pull into a driveway if they were working on the house.
So the fact that it was on the street, I
guess was notable, but there could be a million reasons
for that. I would hold my fire on that until
we get something else that makes that look a little
more significant.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, the white van, the police were called. They
did come out, and Paul describes the follow up on that.
Speaker 4: Reportedly they did respond. Then they spoke to the people,
but the van must have been gone, because the police
have not said, yeah, we watched this out, we interviewed
who it was. They we have to fix an antenna
or something on somebody's cable TV. So it looks like
the van was gone, but they did speak to the people.
But it does not look now like something that the
police have said is in any way significant to the
larger investigation.
Speaker 1: So the frustration is simple. As Harvey Levin said, they
gave a bitcoin address. The bitcoin address is legit. They
said they're not going to communicate anymore. The GUP threes
don't want to send a huge amount of money to
any money to anybody unless they know that they're legit.
And we keep talking about this ransom note, but we
still don't know if it's the real thing. They've said.
Speaker 4: They're not going to communicate any more than the original note,
And in the note it sets out the two deadlines,
the first deadline demanding the money, and then if the
second deadline, which is Monday, is not met, and apparently
Monday didn't specify a time, or if it did, they're
not telling us that his test force is not then
the consequences are going to be more dire, more serious.
So I think we know what they're implying. It is
very confounding to have a ransom demand and no way
to contact the people who want the money, and I
think that's why the family has felt compelled to come
forward with these videos. I think the subtext of the
videos is we will pay, but we need to know
that she's alive. We need to talk to you so
you can provide proof of life, and the Ransomers won't
do that, at least at this point. So people can
draw their own conclusions what that mid or might not
mean either.
Speaker 1: Way, This goes back to my old television network days.
I don't know if this is if NBC did this
for Savannah gutth Ry, but a lot of the networks
will buy kidnapping insurance for their high profile people, and yeah,
I mean doesn't happen. It's rare. So the insurance companies
write this kind of policy, but they don't think they
ever have to pay off. In other words, my point
is there may be insurance, believe it or not, that
will cover whatever they're asking for, and if so, let
the insurance company chase it down later. Just send the money.
But in the meantime they are examining everything they can
possibly examine. Back to Paul, Yeah, I mean you would
think not. Obviously, the negotiation is pretty clear. In New
York City they get about one kidnapping a week. My
partner on the ops desk my blog actually was commanding
officer of Major Case. By definition, major case catches all kidnappings,
so that commanding officer pretty much handles more kidnappings anybody
in the country. The problem is most of them are bogus.
In fact, many, very many times, the victim is in
on it. That's very common. Ord ends up just being
a missing person who returns home. A ransom case like
this with a note. A person that's eighty four years
old missing is tremendously rare, and even rarer throughout history
is one that goes right and actually succeed. I don't
care what anybody says.
Speaker 4: There is no real roadmap for this, there's no rule
book for this, but just common sense tells you if
they want the money, they would have to be communicating,
and they won't do that. And if the note is genuine,
you got to ask yourself why.
Speaker 1: Oh, they don't want to be cut. But in the meantime,
the federal government, all the way up to the President.
The President has picked up the phone and called Savannah Guthrie. Now,
remember this president likes to really chew on the national
media and call him every name under the book. But
when push comes to shove, here comes to softy. His
heart is soft on this matter, and he's willing to
help out the power of the federal government to get
Savannah Guthrie's mother back. Here's Caroline Lovett.
Speaker 5: The President, as you all thought, spoke directly with Savannah
yesterday and told her that the federal government is here
to help. Any requests that are made by state and
local officials in the search of missus Guthrie will absolutely
be accommodated. Our hearts and our prayers are with Savannah
and her entire family as they search for her dear mother.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, Trump gets a lot of static
about the fact that he hates the media, but he's
still somewhere, somewhere in there, there's a heart for all this.
Jason Pack, he's an FBI guy, Let's see what his
take is on all of this.
Speaker 6: I think two things are really in play here. One
of this is a distraction, might be used to buy
time to get away, or secondly, it is legitimate. And
right now we're seeing that the FBI the Pima County
Sheriff's Office are taking this spuriously, as you can see
with the videos that they put out, both from Savannah
and last night from the brother And we all have
public mailboxes in our organizations that we get things through.
So it was interesting that the reporter there in that
video did take it seriously. And so I know that
the Behavioral Analysis Unit, along with the Crisis Negotiation Unit
there at headquarters, is teamed up with the Phoenix Division
there in Tucson to try to see what actually is
going on with the letters. Well, the medicines are prescriptions,
so you would have to get those from a pharmacy.
But My concern is being so close to the border,
maybe you can go across the border and get those
if this is in fact a legitimate so there are
ways to get medication, and hopefully that provides a little
bit of hope. I think. Also, you know, we've concentrated
so much on the this hostage and this negotiation and
the ransom note. But what's important and you've seen this
in videos. You've seen the FBI and PEMA County go
out and recnvas that neighborhood. And so they're going out
into the neighborhoods getting those pieces of information, recanvassing those neighbors.
Some of those neighbors like to talk in person instead
of calling in so it's good that they're back out there.
But they'll take those pieces of information back to that timeline,
narrow that window of opportunity, and then eventually used the
technical information from the cast team, which is the seller
ANALYSI the survey team that Paul mara was talking about earlier.
Those are the experts in the phones and the tower dumps,
and those will put people in locations. So when they
get all these pieces of information, eventually we'll get there.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's just frustrating everybody there. Last one, this
is one of the anchors from KOLD TV in Tucson.
She we talked to Harvey Levin and he described the
note that he got. This is the other note went to. Well,
there was two other those, but one of them went
to KOLD and this anchor was able to read it.
Speaker 7: I think just how detailed the letter was. You know, initially,
we get news tips that come into our newsroom constantly,
and it was our main news line that this came into,
So we take all of them with a grain of salt.
But upon reading it and seeing some of those details
again that that perhaps others might not know or you know,
some of the the amount that they were requesting and
things like that, we were pretty alarmed pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: So you can bet right now the FBI is scrambling
as fast as they can to try to figure out
what the deal is on the on the DNA. The
sheriff there kind of kind of blew it off, like, well,
we picked up DNA where we thought we might get
something on the front porch, they did find some alien
as they call it, alien DNA, in other words, somebody
that doesn't normally go to that house, but that they
couldn't they couldn't get whoever they used said, sorry, we
don't have any connection in the database where all of
well people that have been in prison, all of their
DNA is is stored. It's called the CODA system. But
the way they found Coberger in Idaho and many many others,
the Golden State Killer in California was that's where they invented.
The whole thing was genealogy DNA. Where you take that DNA,
it's harder, it takes more time, and you build a
genealogical family tree from that DNA to figure out who
it is. So hopefully they're working on that. But the
sheriff kind of blew it off like it wasn't pursuing
anything regarding DNA and DNA is that will solve the
crime if they can figure out somebody that was there
that shouldn't have been there. So those agents are not
going to be watching the super but hopefully the rest
of us are, I mean Seattle and New England. This
is a replay of and it was the most famous
well we'll get to that with Jim Gray about the
fact that Seattle had the Super Bowl won and they
were only like a foot or two off of scoring,
and they threw a pass and was intercepted in New
England won. So the last time these two teams were
in the Super Bowl, New England thought they were going
to lose, but they won in the last second. The
big stake about the Super Bowl isn't the game, it's
the entertainment. And I know people, a bunch of conservative
groups are just having a major cow about Bad Bunny,
and I don't know why. I mean, there's lots of
entertainers that I'm not interested in, I don't care for,
so do something else. And there is an option. There's
an alternative halftime show. It's called TPUSA. Charlie Kirks Group.
They are going to have a show as well that
you can get by going on. They'll scream it on YouTube,
you can go, they'll have it on their x account.
But anyway, so there's the TPUSA turning point. USA is
going to have an alternative halftime show. The main show
at the stadium in Well, it's actually Santa Clara where
the forty nine ers normally play. That stadium is going
it's the main show is Bad Bunny, and I I
don't know. I think it's clear as a bell. Why
they invited Bad Bunny. Here's bad Here's a little bit
from Bad Bunny talking about what he's going to do
for his show.
Speaker 8: I want to bring here to the stage, of course,
a lot of my culture. It's gonna be fun and
he's gonna party. It's gonna be easy and people only
have to worry about dance. I know that, I that.
I told him that they had four months to learn Spanish.
They don't even have to learn Spanish. They just it
is better if they they they learned to dance.
Speaker 1: So he said, all you got to do, you don't
need to speak Spanish, all you need to do is dance.
Apparently it's it's it's Latin music. He's from Puerto Rico
and he has become a major worldwide, i mean global
music sensation. He started off with basically uploading some songs
on a website that allows people to try and upload
songs that maybe they can be discovered, and this was
it caught. His music is apparently I'm not familiar with it,
but apparently it's very Latin. A lot of drum beats,
a lot of bongos, a lot of you're going to
want to get up and dance. It makes you want
to dance. So everybody loves that kind of music. But
this isn't just some guy from Puerto Rico. This music
spread and thanks to the Internet, he is a major
global star. I mean in Europe and Africa and South
America and Asia. He's huge. So it's a music's a
funny thing because it really is the soundtrack of your life.
And if you're not into bad Bunny, because maybe you
were into something twenty years forty years ago, that's fine too.
But this guy, his real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio,
and he's a singer and a rapper and a songwriter.
He was born in nineteen ninety four, so what's that.
He's thirty two years old and he was known as
the King of Latin trap. And good for him, the
boy I look at it, So that's going to be
what's going on there now. The reason why I think
this is obvious the NFL. If you'll notice they are
going around different places in the world. They've had games
in Asia, they've had games in South America, They've had
a number of games over in London and over in Germany.
I'm not sure if they did Spain, but they're they're
in Europe, and so if this guy is a global superstar,
then people from around the world are going to want
to tune in to the broadcast of the Super Bowl,
and that all that does is introduce them to more
to the NFL. And the NFL has got their sights
on being a global sports league. They already own the US.
If you look at the number one television show every
week during football season, it is football games, clearly, and
so they already have the audience here. They're looking for
the audience in Europe and Asia and Latin America, no
question about it. So young lady by the name of
july Esa Lopez, she is a writer with Rolling Stone,
and this is her analysis of what Bad Bunny's all about.
Speaker 9: I think this is going to be such a fun
Super Bowl performance. I think it's going to be one
that is watched by so many people. Everybody wants to
see what Benita's going to do. You know Benito by now,
his his hit one of his albums is called Jawa Lookama.
That means I do what I want. And so I
think this is going to be a really, really big
one with a lot of dancing as he said, but
also a message of unity that he's been talking about,
you know, and we heard him say that at the Grammys.
He said it again at this press conference that he did.
But I think a lot of people are going to
be one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the NFL hopes it's people from not only
the US but around the world.
Speaker 9: This Grammy when was historic. It's the first album ever
entirely in Spanish to win a Grammy. Before that, there
was only one other album nominated even and that was
his album Lubnano Synthia the year before. And so Bad
Bunny just keeps breaking record after record, He keeps making history.
He has been the most streamed artist on Spotify four
years now, in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,
and last year. And it just seems like he can't
find a ceiling. So it makes a lot of sense
that he would be performing at one of the biggest
stages in music.
Speaker 1: So can Rawley Stone explain what it is about his
music that makes him so unique?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think people are First of all,
his sound is so unique. Bad Bunny has that signature baritone.
You know a Bad Bunny song when you hear it.
And then I think he's also just been able to
connect with his fans on so many different levels. You know,
his music is party music. He has upbeat music that
you want to dance to, which is going to make
the super Bowl really. He has also music that touches
on social and political issues. He's been really outspoken about
Puerto Rico and his last album, davidad Maspotos, is a
love letter to where he comes from. And so I
think there's an authenticity and a sense of genuineness that
people really see in his music. And he's also just
a streaming jogerat you know, he's the most streamed artist
again last year, beating out everybody.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so he can get political, but I hope not.
I hope they keep. I just don't like politics mixed
with entertainment, whether it's football or whether it's music or
whatever it might be. So the guy has it sounds
like it's that Latin dance music with a great beat.
I'm kind of looking forward to hearing what it's all about.
But if you don't want to do that, or you
can put something on your DVR. Kid Rock is going
to be heading up an alternative halftime show. It will
be on Turning Point USA's website, be on YouTube, It'll
be on X. The people that will be on the
show with Kid Rock brand I'm sorry, I don't know
my my musical artist, Brantley Gilbert, Gilbert, Gabby, Barrett, Lee, Bryce,
and then Kid Rock they're going to be doing the
show during the halftime. If you want to watch something else,
here's Kid Rock. Well.
Speaker 10: I think there's a whole website. If you go to
Turning Point usay that will direct you to a website
where it has every platform that's going to be running it.
Speaker 1: I plan to come out.
Speaker 10: Pretty classic rock, in your face, high energy, what people
would expect. But then it turns very quickly and I'm
approaching this like musically, I know that nothing beats a
great song. That's the most powerful powerful thing. No performance,
no pyro, no lighting will beat a great song. So
I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna flip a one eed and
do what I think is one of the best written
songs in a long time. And then that night, at midnight,
that song will be released streaming and downloaded everywhere.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 10: I think I think really Turning Point read the room
and just at the end of the day, Like like
people like Taylor Taylor Sheridan and Tyler Perry have you know,
they realize there's a big portion of this country, like
it or not, it's underserved entertainment wise, and you know,
we're just gonna go play for our base. You know,
people who love America, love football, love Jesus, and uh
it's and it's pretty It's pretty much that simple. And
you know, of course the media and the haters are
going to try to detract from it. And I think
I would like to get this point across once again
when I say I think I speak for turning point
and all the arts involved that none of us are
approaching this with any hate in our hearts at all.
It's just a love for our base and love for music,
our country and everything else. Now, you know, if the
NFL really we're all about its stated goals and really
you know, wanted to take care of their fan base,
and it seems to me like, okay, why not do
things that are that are really right from those cities,
you know, really celebrate the culture of any city they're in.
And you know, there's a there's a band that checks
every single box from San Francisco by the name of Metallica.
Speaker 3: Also some great rappers.
Speaker 10: From the Bay Area forty two short. You know, I
wish they would have done this in New Orleans with
Lil Wayne, or even the year I played the Super
Bowl in Houston, which a lot of people don't remember
because Janet Jackson showed her boob.
Speaker 7: But.
Speaker 3: It should have been like Beyonce and zz.
Speaker 1: Top or something. Well he's a funny guy, but I'll
tell you, I really do think he's not seen what
I see, which is the NFL already has the US
audience and they want to draw eyeballs from other countries.
I think that's all this is about. Jim Gray weighs
in on the game. It's oh yeah, there's there's going
to be a game. By the way, on Sunday, I
think kickoffs at six thirty Eastern. I think, uh so,
this this is Jim Gray talking about not only the game,
but also that unbelievable play that Seattle would have won
the Super Bowl When they were playing New England last time.
They had Marshawn Lynch ready to go, and instead they
had called a pass and it was intercepted by New England.
New England was ahead by four points Seattle. All they
had to do was get like two yards and they
would have been ahead by three. But and Jim Grays,
Jim Gray says, yeah, that that goes down as one
of the old time.
Speaker 2: And probably the greatest play in Super Bowl history. That
one play, and it will always fall on the Seattle Seahawks.
Why did you not run Marshawn Lynch? Why did Pete
Carroll make that call? How did Russell Wilson not not
just hand him off the ball and audible out of that?
It's one of the great mysteries in life. It'll never
be resolved. It's the stupidest play in the history of
the Super Bowl, and it's the greatest play. So you
can have both ends of the spectrum depending upon who
you were rooting for. But what Malcolm Butler did they
practiced for. There's a great tape of Bill Belichick and
how they set that all up with all of the
defensive coordinators and Brian Floores and so forth. It's fascinating
to go look at that online. But I have not
seen Malcolm Butler, but he's making the rounds and by
the way, he is a legend in Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Matthew Butler is the guy who intercepted the ball
and saved the game for the New England Patriots. So
to the game on Sunday, what does Jim Gray think
about who's going to win?
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so much riding on this game. For
Drake May, just in his second year, totally unexpected. For
Sam Darnold, the chance to live up to all that potential.
It's his fifth team and eight years and now he's
got the opportunity. Had a terrific year last year in Minnesota.
But they're still skeptics, still skeptics now, But take a
look at who they've beaten. When you take into account
that the Los Angeles Rams were considered to be the
best team and they had the MVP last night, Matthew
Stafford beat out Drake May by five votes. When you
consider that they were supposed to be the best team,
they played them three times and it was just a
hairline close in each of those games. But they won
two of those three games. And they also played the
San Francisco forty nine Ers three times, so they've had
a much stronger schedule and much better competition. But what
New England has done from where they were to where
they are. It's just phenomenal. Nobody expected this of Mike Rabel.
He was the Coach of the Year named last night
at the NFL Honors. So what we have here is
truly a compelling matchup. And if you'd gone back twenty
years ago, even though New England is a big underdog
in this game, twenty years ago, nobody thought that they
would beat the Rams when Tom Brady first stepped on
the scene. And then just a few years ago when
they were undefeated the New England Patriots against the New
York Giants, nobody thought that the Giants could win, and
the Giants won. So you just don't know what's going
to happen here.
Speaker 1: No you don't, but it become amazing. The Super Bowl
sixty six ohs been around a long time meantime talking
about winning. Wowsy, wow, wow wow. We had a stock
market today that came alive. I mean it's been selling
off and selling off and selling off, and today the
Dow closed above fifty thousand for the first time ever.
I mean, it just blew through it. Jeremy Siegel, Professor
of Finance over at the Wharton School of Business, this is.
Speaker 11: What he had to say, talk about three weeks ago,
and who would have dreamed that this is fifty k.
I mean, I remember ten k in nineteen ninety nine,
and you know it was twenty five k in two
thousand and eight, so you know, so I in twenty eighteen.
So in eight years we've actually doubled the Dow. And
as you know, the Dow is underweight technology, so it's
more of the value stocks, more of the uh, the
older stocks. It does have a couple, certainly tech stocks
in it, but for that to hit a new high
like this, I mean, it shows the fundament despite what
we see this rotation, there's a lot of fundamental strength
in this economy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Remember the pull name of the Dow is the
Dow Jones Industrial Average. Yeah, there's a couple of tech
stocks in there, but mostly it's good old industrial American companies.
Stephanie Link is chief investment officer over at high Tower All.
Speaker 12: One hundred percent, and I think the reason you are
seeing the equal weight doing better is because you are
seeing the broadening out and that is tied directly to
the economy growing four to five percent. And we we
haven't even had the impacts from the one big beautiful
bill yet, but we know we're getting fiscal monetary policy, accommodation,
likely we have deregulation. We may or may not get housing.
That would be icing on the cake. But I think
the reason the markets are rallying substantially today and have
been so resilient is because we are seeing that capex
spend from the hyper scalers. And I'm sure we're going
to get into all of that in a bit, but
they're going to spend. The Big seven are going to
spend seven hundred billion dollars up seventy five percent a
year over year, up from the four hundred and fifty
billion they spent last year. That is a tailwind for
the economy one hundred percent. And because we've talked about
the food chain, all of the various different industries that
are going to benefit, the power companies, data center grid,
the financials, and the consumer. So I think this really
feels good and I'm so glad that we're finally seeing
a broadening out. And that's by the way, tying back
to very good earnings as well.
Speaker 1: We're talking about the broadstocks, but again to the tech.
Who's the big tech star and Vidia, Jensen Wong is
the guy who runs is the CEO in Vidia. This
is his reaction.
Speaker 13: Demand is sky Hide, and there's a fundamental reason for that.
We're in the once in a generation infrastructure build out.
This is the largest infrastructure build out in human history,
and there's a fundamental reason for that. Artificial intelligence is
going to fundamentally change how we compute everything, everything from
database processing, the way we do search, the way we
do recommend our systems, and you shop, the way you
watch movies.
Speaker 1: So he's a believer and he's built an amazing company.
Even though there have been some big down drafts this
past week. The stock market today, you're ready for this.
The Dow Jones industrials up one thousand, two hundred and
six points today up to fifty thousand, one fifteen, the
S and P up one hundred and thirty three, just
below at sixty nine thirty two, just below seven thousand
on that index, and the Nasdaq up four hundred and
ninety to twenty three thousand and thirty one. The price
of gold was up ninety nine dollars to four thousand
and nine eighty eight, and oil up twenty cents. Finished
today at sixty three dollars and fifty cents for a
barrel of oil. So that's it for today. Thank you
for coming by, have a wonderful super Bowl weekend. We
will be back on Monday and I hope to see
you then. Have a great weekend.
