1 00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: And Hello, Welcome one and all to the Big Podcast 2 00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:31,359 on this Wednesday. Today is the third day of June, 3 00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:34,840 year of all Over, twenty twenty six. My name is 4 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,560 Tom Sullivan, and well, we have a busy schedule for 5 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:47,679 you today. First of all, I want to address a 6 00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:49,920 couple of things. First of all, I would like to 7 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,679 start another podcast besides this one. And the reason why 8 00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:56,840 I've had a lot of people over the years and 9 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,359 especially recently asked me to go back to what I 10 00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:03,799 used to do when I did my radio show in California. 11 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,519 I had the last hour of the week. I would 12 00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,280 do something called Financial Friday, and people would call and 13 00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:16,400 ask questions about investing and saving and saving for their 14 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,920 children's college, saving for buying a home. What about Grandpa 15 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:24,439 has a home and he wants to sell it to 16 00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:28,840 the grandkids brother or should he should they inherit it 17 00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:32,680 when he passes? All kinds of different things about money 18 00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:37,640 and interest rates, Do I get a zero interest loan? 19 00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:41,400 Those all kinds of financial questions. They were great and 20 00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:44,079 I enjoyed doing it, but I haven't done it in 21 00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:47,120 a long time. And I was in the investment business 22 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,599 for over thirty years, and I'm not that rusty, I 23 00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:54,159 think I still know some of the things to do 24 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:01,000 about investing. So I would like to start an investment podcast, 25 00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:07,040 but I need you to call with your observations, questions, 26 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,759 whatever you want to talk about regarding money, saving money, 27 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:20,719 spending money, investing money, insurance, mutual funds, ETFs, whatever it 28 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,719 is that crosses your mind. So if you have those questions, 29 00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:26,719 I need that in order to do this because I 30 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,639 like to play your questions. And you can certainly remain anonymous, 31 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,199 but play your questions and start a new one hour 32 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,919 financial podcast at least separate from this. So, and the 33 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,199 phone number to call you can find by going to 34 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:48,280 my website tomsulliban dot com. The phone number is eight 35 00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:53,319 five five two nine five sixty six hundred. If you're 36 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,319 driving you can't remember whatever, go to my website tomsulliban 37 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,719 dot com and there is the phone number. So that's 38 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,000 first on my list to talk about today. Secondly, and 39 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,520 i'd like to get to start him fairly soon, so 40 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,159 don't be shy. Go ahead and give me give me 41 00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:15,719 a call with your with your comments or questions. And 42 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,680 the second thing that I want to talk about I've 43 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,240 been me need to talk about this and then everything 44 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,360 came to ahead. Today CBS has fired Scott Pelly. And 45 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,360 I've met Scott and I used to work with his 46 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,759 ex wife for many many years. I mean I've I'm 47 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:41,919 tangentially connected, and Scott is an excellent, excellent journalist, but 48 00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:45,520 he hasn't knocked the socks off the ratings. And so 49 00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:50,400 he got fired from Sixty Minutes. And the reason for 50 00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:54,719 it was they, you know, they're going through the ownership 51 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,400 change at CBS and they've the new owners appointed Barry 52 00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:04,039 Weiss the head of CBS News. And she was running 53 00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:11,599 a website that was fabulous and she a former New 54 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,519 York Times person, and so she got into a fractice 55 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,920 with one of the reporters, Sharon Alfonsi, and Sharon Alfonsi 56 00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:25,120 went public with the fact that she had done a 57 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,160 piece for Sixty Minutes, and Barry Weiss stopped her from 58 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,639 airing it, and it wasn't stopped forever, and Sharon Alfonsi 59 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,319 started yelling the fact that I'm being censored. I'm being censored. 60 00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:43,560 This is not right. Oh, it's terrible. And so Sharon 61 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,160 Alfonsi got into a public fight over a piece that 62 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,360 she had done for sixty Minutes. What has happened is 63 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,680 CBS and sixty Minutes have moved further to one side 64 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,600 of the political aisle, the left side. They moved further 65 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,759 and further. They've always been there. And Sharon al Fontia 66 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,839 the complaint was Barry Weise said, you've made some reporting 67 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,439 about some facts, but you never got the other side 68 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,399 of the story about the accusation. Was you never went 69 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,279 to the people that were accused of something and asked 70 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,600 them their side of the story. So we're not going 71 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,279 to err it until you get both sides of the story. Gee, 72 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:34,439 that seems like fundamental journalism. But Sharon al Fonci was 73 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,079 outraged about it. She threw a hissy fit and I 74 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:42,879 almost at the time did a piece on this podcast 75 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,360 about I wonder how many days it will be before 76 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,759 she gets fired, And sure enough, she got fired just recently. 77 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000 They let it kind of sit for a while, and 78 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,079 I'm just thinking to myself, one of the things that 79 00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,560 you do if you have a disagreement with your boss, 80 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,240 your boss wins. I mean, you can debate something, but 81 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,839 push comes to shove. The boss is the one who 82 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,360 gets to call the decisions. And maybe people don't know 83 00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:12,920 that at work. 84 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: I know the. 85 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: Workplace has changed an awful lot where a lot of 86 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,319 people get upset about their rights. Well, when you walk 87 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,920 in your employer's door, a lot of your rights don't 88 00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:28,439 apply to your employment. So Sharon al Fonsi got in 89 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:31,560 a big she made a public and I knew that 90 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,079 her time was limited. You just don't do that. I mean, 91 00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:39,319 I thought, Sharon al Fonsi is an educated journalist, she's 92 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,240 no kid. I thought she would know that. So then 93 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:47,959 what really surprised me was on Monday of this week, 94 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:52,600 the folks at sixty minutes they had a big meeting 95 00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:59,759 and Scott Pelley was all outraged about the changes at CBS. 96 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:03,519 And he went into that meeting with the brand new boss. 97 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,120 It's just been appointed to take over a CBS sixty 98 00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:12,240 minutes and his name is Nick Bilton, and he's got 99 00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:18,199 a very fabulous background as a journalist. But in any case, Nick, 100 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:22,199 Scott Pelly got into a big fight with him and said, 101 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,439 what qualifies you to be in this position? Pelley asked, 102 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:32,720 mister Bilton, And so here's I've got the letter. I'm 103 00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:36,639 not going to read the whole thing, but basically he 104 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,600 got and went public with the big fight behind closed 105 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,319 doors with the new boss at sixty minutes anyway, so 106 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,439 it took him one whole day and they said thank 107 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:53,360 you for your services, goodbye. Now Scott Pelly, remember he 108 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,959 was moved over. They've been trying to do something with 109 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,879 the CBS Evening News ever since Dan Rather left, and 110 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,279 it just even when Rather was there, the thing was 111 00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:08,560 in last place, and ABC comes in number one, NBC 112 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,360 number two, and then finally CBS way down the ratings list, 113 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,680 and if I remember right, Scott Pelly was brought in 114 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,759 to try to solve the thing. They made him the 115 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,319 anchor of the CBS Evening News and that failed. The 116 00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:29,600 audience kept dropping, so he hasn't had a record of success. 117 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:33,360 And sixty minutes audience. I looked up the history of 118 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:38,799 their numbers. They are always highly rated, but they're about 119 00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:42,480 half the audience they had ten years ago. So it's 120 00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:47,120 been gradually eroding and eroding. And Barry Weiss, the person 121 00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:51,240 the woman who runs CBS News, said it's getting old, 122 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:53,960 it's getting our cake. We need to freshen this up. 123 00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,120 So she brought in a new executive producer and Scott 124 00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,360 Pelley didn't life but he's kind of part of the 125 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,639 old the old school of broadcasting. So and one of 126 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,960 the reasons why sixty Minutes does well in the ratings. 127 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:18,000 Everybody in broadcasting knows this. A lead in is so 128 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,559 critical to your show's success. If you've got a dud 129 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:25,639 show before you, you're going to have a hard time 130 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,879 getting an audience because the audience has left. If you've 131 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,440 got a great show before you, then a lot of 132 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,639 those people just stay around and you get the benefits 133 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,039 of a boost from the lead in. Well, the lead 134 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,720 in for sixty Minutes is for five months of the 135 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,200 year is the NFL football games. And when you look 136 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,639 at ratings of which are the most watched television shows 137 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,279 in a week during the NFL season, it is always 138 00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:04,360 the NF always, So they have their exciting football games 139 00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:06,759 on and then when they finished, they go right to 140 00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:09,960 sixty Minutes on CBS because the CBS and Fox have 141 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,519 the NFL games, so that and then I mean throw 142 00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:19,720 in the golf tournaments that they do, the Masters and 143 00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:24,039 some of these really prestigious fun golf games to watch. 144 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,080 So they have been blessed with strong lead in from 145 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,399 CBS Sports on Sunday Night, and people then stick around 146 00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:35,840 and watch the CBS or sixty minutes, but it hasn't 147 00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:39,480 been anywhere near the audience they used to have. So 148 00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:43,559 Scott Pelley should know better. First of all, you don't 149 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,799 get into a fight with your boss. You don't put 150 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,840 them down, besmirched them, and do all kinds of act 151 00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:56,159 like a child. But apparently he obviously doesn't know that. 152 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,320 And I'm surprised and shocked because Scott Pelley is a 153 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,320 pretty savvy guy, but he's also got his biases, and 154 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:09,759 he's afraid that the CBS is wanting to change the bias. Yeah, 155 00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:13,080 from far left. They want to get some balance, fair 156 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,679 and balance. They want you to put the other side 157 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,600 of the of the story on. So bake stink. It's 158 00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:22,279 at sixty minutes. And I thought, well, I'll dip my 159 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,759 toe into that, into that fight. So Sharon al Fonsei gone, 160 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:34,080 Scott Pelley gone, and we'll see who else sticks around. 161 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,080 I bet I would imagine some of those people. I mean, 162 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,919 they've been there a long time, which is in some 163 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:49,960 schools good, they've got experience. Anyway, we got to move on. Uh, elections, Well, 164 00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:54,120 I find that it's there's a lot of elections to 165 00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:56,759 talk about. I don't want to go over every single 166 00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,720 election out there. There were six states that had primaries yesterday. 167 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,600 Everybody's got their results. Everybody's got ninety nine percent of 168 00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:11,440 the vote already counted, except for California. In California, I 169 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,279 don't understand. I know what it is. It's mail, it's 170 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,399 mail in ballots, and they still if you mailed in 171 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,720 your ballot it was postmarked by with yesterday or before 172 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,080 had to be postmarked by June's second, then it will 173 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:33,639 be counted even if it arrives today, tomorrow, Friday. So 174 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,240 they're still waiting to get all those and they're counting 175 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,120 the ballots and it's taken. They only have about fifty 176 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,120 percent of the ballots already counted. So they've got a 177 00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:49,480 lot of races that are still open and alone. And behold, 178 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:56,519 we'll see what happens with Steve Hilton. He has come 179 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:04,919 in as number one on the California governor's race, number one, 180 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:10,879 and then behind him is Javier Bessera, number two, and 181 00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:14,200 it's pretty neck and neck between those two. And then 182 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,559 finally way down the list is Tom Steyer, and Tom 183 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:26,679 Steyer has spent two hundred million dollars. At all he 184 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,399 could get is nineteen percent of the vote. Now, I 185 00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:33,960 mean there's still got more more to count. But Steve 186 00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:38,159 Hilton got twenty eight percent, Besera got twenty five percent, 187 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:45,639 Tom Steyer got nineteen percent, and Styre two hundred million dollars. 188 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,679 He's like the kid that's a nerd at school that 189 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,080 wanted to be popular and tried too hard to be 190 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,080 popular because he spends all this money on him, So 191 00:13:57,159 --> 00:14:02,320 he's a weird guy. He comes across Streen, he's even 192 00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:05,879 nobody bought the we need to tax billionaires more. I 193 00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:08,159 know I'm a billionaire. We need to tax people like 194 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,879 me more. People want to know what's the matter with you. 195 00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:14,480 So I went down the list of there were sixty 196 00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:20,000 one people on the ballot for people in California to 197 00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:23,559 take a look at. I found Eric Swallwell, I know 198 00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:25,879 he dropped out, but he still got four hundred and 199 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:33,360 eighty votes. Barack Obama Shaw, the guy trying to I 200 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:36,600 don't know, trying to work off of former president's name, 201 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,200 He got three hundred and eight. Here's another one, Living 202 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,440 for God and Country got sixty three votes. Thunder Parlay 203 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:51,799 got thirty five votes, and a guy by the name 204 00:14:51,799 --> 00:14:56,799 of Sean Forbes. He wrote himself in, and they had 205 00:14:56,799 --> 00:14:59,159 a bunch of writing names that people got votes for 206 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,360 and everything else. Sean Forbes wrote himself in and he 207 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,679 got one vote, namely his own. But listen to this. 208 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,480 Out of the nine hundred and seventeen thousand registered voters, 209 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,799 which is sad, there's forty two million people that live 210 00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:22,759 in California, and of the nine hundred and seventeen thousand 211 00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:28,240 registered voters, that's all there is. Out of forty some million, well, 212 00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:30,919 out of the nine hundred and seventeen thousand registered voters, 213 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,159 one hundred and eighty three thousand voted. We're down to 214 00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:40,799 twenty percent went and voted. So I gotta tell I mean, 215 00:15:40,799 --> 00:15:45,720 even though it's interesting, there isn't a person of there's 216 00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:50,679 nothing of interest. It appears that nobody really wants to 217 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,200 be governor of California. Who said that the other day, 218 00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:59,080 I'm not sure was some pundit was talking about going 219 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,120 nobody wants to be nerve California with the mess. So 220 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:06,720 we'll see what happens. But looks like they still have 221 00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:09,240 more voters to count. But it looks like Besera and 222 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,639 Steve Hilton will be in the runoff in November, so 223 00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:18,759 glaf to see meantime. In Los Angeles, Karen Bass got 224 00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:26,919 thirty four percent of the vote. Pratt got Spencer Pratt 225 00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:29,879 got thirty percent of the vote. He came in number two. 226 00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:34,600 And the far far far Lefty Ramens, she got twenty 227 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,080 two percent of the vote. She's a Democrat socialist, but 228 00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:44,679 she she got twenty two percent. Then you go to 229 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:51,399 Iowa and Donald Trump's wins streak got broken. He was 230 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,240 endorsing a guy by the name of Randy Fenstra and 231 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,399 Randy did not win. He came in number two behind 232 00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:05,960 Zach Lawn. So a big race for governor in Iowa. 233 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,799 We'll see how that works out. Oh yeah, and then 234 00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:12,319 there's this one in New Jersey. There's a guy that 235 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,839 won the primary for the Democrat Party. Democrats are getting 236 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:24,440 really bad candidates, are really this strange candidates. This guy's 237 00:17:24,519 --> 00:17:30,680 name is doctor Adam Hamoway, and doctor Adam Hamoway was 238 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,200 a disciple of the Blind Sheikh who was the mastermind 239 00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:39,920 behind the bombing of the World Trade Center in nineteen 240 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,200 ninety three, the year before the not the year before 241 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,519 a few years before the planes attack This is nineteen 242 00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:50,200 ninety three. They bombed the World Trade Center. There were 243 00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:53,160 a handful of people that were killed. It was in 244 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,559 the basement. And this doctor Adam Hamaway is the winner. 245 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:04,240 People in New Jersey did did? Have you forgotten New Jersey? 246 00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:09,559 You can see the World Trade Center from the district 247 00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:13,480 that this doctor Hamway just won. So here he is 248 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,680 talking about his position. 249 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 3: Some all of your critics have tried to raise questions 250 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,240 about your relationship with shank Omar abdel Rahman. What do 251 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,039 you feel is important for voters to know about this 252 00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:27,599 alleged relationship. Well, you know, this is my patriotism and 253 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,799 service to this country is clear. I think voters in 254 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:34,079 New Jersey are just tired of these you know, politics 255 00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:38,359 of fear, racism and anti Wilm hate and are ready 256 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:38,920 to move forward. 257 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: Hey, so he says his patriotism is great and all that, 258 00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:46,200 but there's others who think differently. Paul Morrow, former NYPD 259 00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:50,599 was counter intelligence guy. He has a different different view 260 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,400 of doctor Hamway. 261 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 4: Well, he used to carpool with the Sheik and he 262 00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:57,640 knew him. He did translations for him, and then to me, 263 00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:00,240 most damning, he stepped forward to be a defense end's 264 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:04,160 with witness in the nineteen ninety five trial of the 265 00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:06,680 Blind Shake. Let's understand who the blind Shak was. At 266 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,839 the time, there was no hedging. The Blind Shak was 267 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,160 calling for jihad against America. This is post the ninety 268 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,359 three bombing. Furthermore, those who carried out the ninety three 269 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,240 bombing were part of the Blind Shake's inner circle. So 270 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,079 the idea that this Hamawi was lashed up in any 271 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,039 way to the Blind Shake and then testified on his 272 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,200 behalf in open court in federal trial wherein the charges 273 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,799 with that he wanted to blow up that is the 274 00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:35,680 Blind Shake five New York City landmarks, the Holland Tunnel, 275 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,400 Lincoln Tunnel, George Washington Bridge. That's what he's known as 276 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,920 the Landmarks trial. This guy testified for the Blind Shake 277 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,279 at a time when the Blind Shake made no bones 278 00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:48,359 about it. He wanted to commit jihad against America. So 279 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:50,799 I find that to be quite damning. And his subsequent 280 00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:53,319 remarks are of a piece. He says that the Iron 281 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,559 Dome should not exist. He's a buddy of this Hassan Piker. 282 00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:58,720 This is a guy that I really feel should be 283 00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:02,640 disqualified in a former kind of terrorism official disqualified from 284 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,960 serving in office. You know the district that he's running 285 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,559 in right now, he's leading. So I think it's gotten 286 00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:10,480 to the point where we're seeing it with Platner up 287 00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:12,559 in Maine, there was a contingent. I mean, we sort 288 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,519 with Chuck Schumer right. Schumer literally says, I'm endorsing him. 289 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,960 Graham Platner's my guy. We're going to take back this out. 290 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,799 They're willing to hold in those close their eyes and 291 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,039 vote however they can to regain powerful. 292 00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: That's so true. They are into their side has to 293 00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:31,559 win at all expense. It doesn't matter if somebody is 294 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,319 aligned with a former terrorist. So Andy McCarthy was the 295 00:20:36,559 --> 00:20:42,240 prosecutor who prosecuted the Blind Shake Back in nineteen ninety five. 296 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,279 Here's what Andy said about this guy who's winning in 297 00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:45,960 New Jersey. 298 00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:50,279 Speaker 2: He came as brought in by the defense, by the 299 00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:54,319 Blind Shak's defense to be not just a character witness, 300 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,000 but a fact witness. We had an informant who testified 301 00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:02,839 that he had been in Egyptian in the Egyptian military 302 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,599 and on a trip to Detroit with a bunch of 303 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,200 guys that included Hamali. The informant testified that he was 304 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,160 asked by the Blind Shake why he hadn't turned his 305 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:19,160 guns on President Mubarak then of Egypt when he was 306 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:23,880 in Egypt. And this actually was something that was quite 307 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,119 interesting because when the blind Shake came here, when he 308 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,000 was allowed for astounding reasons to relocate in the United 309 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,880 States in nineteen ninety, he had publicly taken credit for 310 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,799 issuing the fatwaw, which is the Sharia law edict greenlighting 311 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,440 the murder of Anwar Sadat in nineteen eighty one. Saddad, 312 00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:49,400 of course had been the predecessor of Mubarak. Well, you know, 313 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680 he didn't have to come unless he wanted to. It 314 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,640 wasn't like is subpoenaed him. It wasn't like the government 315 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,920 brought him in as a hostile witness. He volunteered to 316 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,720 testify for this guy. He knew exactly who he was, 317 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:06,079 and in fact, on cross examination, you know, his testimony 318 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,240 that he didn't recall a conversation about Mubarak was not 319 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,279 very persuasive. The jury easily found the blind Shake guilty 320 00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:18,480 on the counts related to Mubarak, But what he ended 321 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,599 up saying on cross examination was that the blind Shake 322 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,160 talked about Jihad all the time, and in fact, at 323 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,920 that conference had talked about making war against the United States. 324 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,200 So everybody knew who this guy was. 325 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was closely aligned with the Blind Shake, 326 00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:37,880 and now he has won the Democrat nomination for a 327 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,960 congressional seat Adam New Jersey. It makes you wonder where 328 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,640 our country is going to be heading with all of this. 329 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:52,440 But then there's another there's another race California. Remember the 330 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,559 big stink about the fact that they redrew Texas was 331 00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:59,279 the first and then California said, okay, we'll do it too. 332 00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:02,839 They redrew the their congressional map, and they drew it 333 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:08,119 in such a way that the Republicans would lose five seats. Well, 334 00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:13,400 one of those redraws is the seat that was occupied 335 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:19,960 by Congressman Kevin Kylie and he basically said, Okay, I'll 336 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,599 tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to 337 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,440 drop my Republican status. I'm going to become an independent 338 00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:29,000 and then I'm going to run as an independent. And 339 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:35,799 so he did, and he's way ahead. So Melanie Mason 340 00:23:35,839 --> 00:23:42,279 news with Politico covers California politics. She's kind of laughing 341 00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:44,319 about the fact that they went and redrew the map 342 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,440 and it did not work. 343 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, this race actually is causing some unexpected heartburn among 344 00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:51,680 Democratic strategists, and I think it is because you see 345 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,039 the fraction of thee because there are so many candidates, 346 00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:57,119 including so many Democrats, that hopped into this new district 347 00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:00,240 that Democrats thought would be theirs to pick up. Now, 348 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,640 when I've talked to Democratic strategies, they think, because of 349 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,759 this blue shift that we're talking about with ballot statewide, 350 00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:10,240 that Richard Pan the leading Democrat, may have enough to 351 00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:13,319 get into that top two and Democrats may avoid that embarrassment. 352 00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:16,559 But I don't think that going into last night, people 353 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,519 thought that this would be the one that Democrats would 354 00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:20,599 be sweating because remember this is one of the districts 355 00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:22,839 that the Democrats redrew. They thought that this would be 356 00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:26,160 a way that they reshaped the map after redistricting and 357 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,640 give Republicans more Adjeta. Instead, they're kind of, you know, 358 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,039 furiously clicking to see if Kevin Kylie and a Republican 359 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,200 end up getting through. Democrats are going to find themselves 360 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,880 out in the colds. 361 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: So the voting, like I said, California, they're taking forever. 362 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,720 It's only about fifty percent of the votes are in. 363 00:24:43,759 --> 00:24:48,119 But Kevin Kylie, who wasn't supposed to succeed, has succeeded. 364 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,839 At least for now, he's in first place. So we'll 365 00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:54,640 have to wait and see what happens when the rest 366 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,240 of the votes come in. But I think it's humorous 367 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,240 that they went and spent all that time and effort 368 00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:03,440 and capital and they wind up with the Republican still 369 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,200 maybe getting re elected. We'll have to wait and see. 370 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,799 And then there's the story from it broke late yesterday. 371 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,880 This is about the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, 372 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,599 Tulsi Gabbert out and Bill Poulty has been brought in 373 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:30,480 as the acting director of the Office of National Intelligence. 374 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,200 This isn't just some government office. This is the person, 375 00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:39,359 the person that controls all of the seventeen or eighteen 376 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:45,359 intelligence agencies, knows every secret of our country, knows every 377 00:25:45,599 --> 00:25:49,359 has access to all kinds of secret files, and God 378 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:54,640 knows what well. Bill Poulti is the head of the 379 00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:00,000 Federal Housing Finance Agency. Trump appointed him when he picked 380 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,839 up Trump two point zero, and he comes from a 381 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,720 family and from a housing background. The Polty Home Group 382 00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:12,839 Poulty Group. They're a big home builder across the country. 383 00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:19,079 And his grandfather started that and brought in the grandson 384 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,279 for I presume he was hoping that he would run 385 00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:29,960 the company someday. Well, apparently he's not well liked by anybody, 386 00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:36,319 including the board of directors on the Empire founded by 387 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,839 his grandfather. They didn't like him. They booted him, They 388 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,200 forced him off of the board. So Bill Poulty got 389 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,799 pushed out the door of Poulty Group. So he's I guess, 390 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,799 looking around for a job Trump. I mean, he made 391 00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,240 a lot of money. He comes from a very wealthy family, 392 00:26:57,279 --> 00:26:59,799 so he's got a bunch of money. Trump likes wealthy 393 00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:02,680 peace people, and so he appointed him the head of 394 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,920 the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Then on top of that, 395 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,799 Trump appointed him the head of Fannie May and then 396 00:27:09,839 --> 00:27:12,519 appointed him the head of Freddie Mack. So these are 397 00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:15,319 all big mortgage companies and this is the guy who're 398 00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:20,119 going to Bill Poulty. Where do I know that name. Well, 399 00:27:20,279 --> 00:27:25,559 he's the guy who dug into the mortgage records of 400 00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:31,000 our country. Apparently you can do that. And he went 401 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,119 after Lisa Cook at the FED and tried to get 402 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,000 her booted off. That went all the way to the 403 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,799 Supreme Court and Bill Poulty lost on that. He went 404 00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:46,960 after Adam Adam Schiff and Letitia James, and I think 405 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,359 there was one more in there. But basically he used 406 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,079 his position as the head of the Federal Housing Finance 407 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,119 Agency to find out who had homes where they said 408 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,359 this is my primary home, and then they had a 409 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,000 mortgage on a another home where they said that this 410 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,440 is my primary home. The thing about it is he 411 00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:10,000 went after the people that the president doesn't like, and 412 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,680 obviously he was brown nosing. He's a big brown noser, 413 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,920 and he tries to do everything he can to say CCC, bossy, 414 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,720 I brought you, I brought trouble to people that you 415 00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:23,400 don't like. Well, out of that list, I guess he overlooked. 416 00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:28,200 Scott Bessant, the Treasury Secretary, has the same problem. He 417 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,039 has two homes that he claims are his primary residences, 418 00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:34,880 both of them, and for some reason Bill Poulty did 419 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,240 not go after them. So now the question is with 420 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,920 Poulty in charge of all the secrets of our nation. 421 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,279 Before he just had the mortgage secrets. Now he will 422 00:28:46,319 --> 00:28:51,680 be in charge of everything that's a secret. And I 423 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,039 got to tell you there's a lot of people on 424 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,200 both sides of the aisle that are going. He has 425 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,359 no experience in intelligence, he's never served in the military. 426 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,720 He's but President Trump's I'm going to appoint him as 427 00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,640 acting that way, I don't have to go through Senate confirmation. 428 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,519 So let's start off here with how about John Miller, 429 00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:19,079 the former NYPDE counterintelligence guide. Let's start with him. 430 00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:22,119 Speaker 6: Oh, I think the thing that people in the intelligence 431 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,559 community are worried about is he's going to have almost 432 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:32,319 unfettered access, basically unfettered access to intelligence from seventeen US 433 00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:36,039 intelligence agencies, but not just that, also intelligence shared with 434 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,039 us by our foreign partners. And that's an awesome a 435 00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:42,559 number of secrets to keep for anybody, but in the 436 00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:46,039 hands of somebody who's been basically carved their identity out 437 00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:49,400 as a political hit man, that raises any number of questions, 438 00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:51,799 what is he going to do with that information? Second 439 00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:54,279 point is he's got a responsibility as D and I 440 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,720 to ensure that there's no sign of foreign interference into 441 00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:00,839 the election process. And for someone who's acting job could 442 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,759 take him through the midterms, it also gives him the power, 443 00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:06,279 depending on whether they like the outcome or not, to 444 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,079 characterize election integrity anyway he wants. 445 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: That's where the foundation of the concern is. Number One, 446 00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:16,759 he's a political hit job guy hitman, as John Miller 447 00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:20,200 called him. But in addition to that, the president must 448 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,039 have picked him on purpose because the accusations about the 449 00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:28,759 elections and whether they're rigged or everything else. If things 450 00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:32,839 don't go the way of President Trump, will he tell 451 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,039 Bill Poulty to ring a bell. It says that things 452 00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:40,400 were according to our national intelligence, that the elections were 453 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,839 not fair. So Beth Sanner, she was former National security advisor, 454 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,160 Let's see what she says. 455 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 7: No, it's of course not. I mean, you know, it 456 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,920 doesn't make sense when what we have at stake here 457 00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:55,960 is really the national security of the United States. And 458 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,680 I know that there's a lot of criticism about the 459 00:30:58,759 --> 00:31:01,559 Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and there should be, 460 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,720 but let's remember, you know why we have the Director 461 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,880 of the Director of National Intelligence. We have that because 462 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,039 of the failure of agencies, some of the eighteen agencies 463 00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:19,000 now to communicate. And that is what was one of 464 00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:22,240 the main reasons why we didn't prevent the nine to 465 00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:27,000 eleven hijackers from flying into multiple buildings in the United 466 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,839 States and killing Americans, right, and so you know we cannot. 467 00:31:31,079 --> 00:31:34,319 You need an od and I that actually is forcing 468 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,880 that integration. And you have a person being put in 469 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,000 here that doesn't get along with anybody except President Trump. 470 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,599 You know, it's not going to make relations with CIA better. 471 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,400 It's not going to be making relations with FBI better. 472 00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:51,160 He already is at loggerheads with DOJ and that's a 473 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,359 real problem because those are the agencies that are going 474 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,240 to prevent the next intelligence failure. 475 00:31:56,319 --> 00:31:58,559 Speaker 1: A bunch of the articles today are about the fact 476 00:31:58,599 --> 00:32:03,079 that nobody likes Bill Poulton. It doesn't get along with anybody, 477 00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:07,839 but Donald Trump likes him, and that's all that counts. 478 00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:13,119 So what will our national intelligence apparatus actually be? How 479 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,720 will it work? Alisa Farah, who was in the Trump 480 00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:19,640 White House, trump one point zero her reaction. 481 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,079 Speaker 8: What is so remarkable is that there are qualified Trump 482 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,319 loyalists who also have national security experience. You had that 483 00:32:26,359 --> 00:32:29,000 in Tulsie Gabbertt. I would argue Rick Rinnell is more qualified. 484 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,440 He's a polarizing figure, but he has credentials to be 485 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,960 in that role. Anyone who sat on the House Intelligence 486 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,279 Committee or Senate Intelligence Committee that's a Republican could do 487 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,039 the job and likely be loyal to Donald Trump. This 488 00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:42,720 stands out to me because it's wanting to keep him 489 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,960 in an acting capacity to bypass Senate confirmation, and that 490 00:32:46,039 --> 00:32:49,519 this is a clearly, clearly partisan actor that has no 491 00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:51,599 background And you took this a much scarier place, and 492 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,119 you're the expert, John, but I was thinking, just somebody 493 00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:57,279 who has no training in handling classified information. When you 494 00:32:57,279 --> 00:33:00,359 suddenly have exposure to our highest state secrets, you can 495 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,759 make mistakes. You can put our intelligence in a dangerous 496 00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:07,519 place very very easily when you simply are not trained 497 00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:08,039 to handle it. 498 00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 3: And this guy is not trained to Yeah, so. 499 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: This just isn't your normal political complaint. This is about 500 00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:16,079 the Director of National Intelligence should be somebody who is 501 00:33:17,559 --> 00:33:22,279 agnostic about partisanship, just not partisan in any way, shape 502 00:33:22,359 --> 00:33:26,079 or form. This is about our country security. So we'll 503 00:33:26,119 --> 00:33:28,839 see how this works out. But Bill Poulti is not 504 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,240 getting a warm recession reception to this at all. But 505 00:33:33,319 --> 00:33:37,319 it's the president's choice. That's who he wants. All right, 506 00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:39,599 Wall Street Today, let's take a look because we were 507 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:45,160 down most of the trading session, and that is exactly 508 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,720 how we finish because there's more talk about, well not 509 00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:55,720 more talking about, they're actually more kinetic activity going on 510 00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:59,279 in the Middle East. I mean you've got more shooting 511 00:33:59,319 --> 00:34:03,720 going on. The Iranians hit the airport in Kuwait, sixty 512 00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:09,239 three people injured. They also targeted US base in Bahrain 513 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,559 and sentcom our side hit a vessel trying to get 514 00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:17,760 to an Urnian port. We took that down. So we 515 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:23,320 are launching strikes against Iran. They are launching strikes against 516 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:30,119 our at our allies, and so ceasefire Bologne. There's there's 517 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:33,400 no ceasefire going on. So that makes the market nervous 518 00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:36,320 and up she down she went today. The Dow down 519 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,960 six hundred and twenty to fifty thousand and six eighty seven, 520 00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:47,599 SMP down fifty six, Nasdaq down two ninety three. The 521 00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:50,840 price of gold fell fifty two dollars down to four 522 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,920 thousand and four to sixty seven, and oil went up 523 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,519 two and a half bucks. It's now ninety six dollars 524 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,679 and some change for one barrel of West Texas Intermediate. 525 00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:04,599 So that's it for today. Thank you for coming by. 526 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,840 We will be back again tomorrow. I hope to see 527 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:08,159 you there.
