Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome on one and all to the Big Podcast
on this Friday. Today is the twenty sixth day of June,
Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. My name is
Tom Sullivan, and busy Friday. We got a lot to
go over. It's there's a couple of things out there.
First of all, there was a story out of Beijing
this morning. It happened overnight for our time, but there
was a small plane that flew into the tallest building
in Beijing. It's a one hundred and eight story office building.
If I remember right, World Trade Center was one hundred
and seven, so this is the tallest building in Beijing.
And I saw a video of the plane that hit
the building. I did not see any damage to the building,
but apparently there was some. But it looked like it
wasn't even a full size general aviation aircraft. It looked
like it was somebody described it as a sport airplane,
and there is a category now for they're lightweight. They
don't have a lot of technicality to them. They're a
smaller plane. And it looked like it was a sport aircraft,
single engine that hit into the building and then just
fell to the ground. It did not go into the building.
You could see the plane fall. So the Chinese officials
freaking out about it. They ran around and made sure
that anybody had any photos of it or any video
of it. They seized their phones. Yeah, they don't want
anything nothing. Don't show this to anybody. So and the
other thing, apparently in Beijing is a it's an off
limit flight area. So how this little plane got in there.
I'm sure the Chinese are going to be taking a
very close look at that. We've also got a gas
and oil I haven't been quoting. I'm not doing it
to avoid it, but it just it's coming down and
coming down faster than I thought it would. But the price,
the average price for one gallon of gasoline in this
country if you're heading off for the weekend, three dollars
and ninety cents. That's the cheap stuff. Three ninety is
the average across the nation. Diesel four dollars ninety three cents,
both of those down. Well. Gas is down fifty nine
cents from a month ago, diesels down sixty four since
from a week ago or from a month ago. California
is not the most expensive gas in the nation. Hawaii
has claimed that average price for a gallon of gas
in Hawaii is five dollars fifty one cents. So I mean,
first of all, I'm jealous if you're going to Hawaii.
I love going there. Secondly, you can't drive very far.
You really can't. Even if you get a rental car,
you can't go that far, so you're not going to
burn that much gas. But in any case, Hawaii is
number one five point fifty one. California has slipped to
number two. Average price of gasoline there is five dollars
forty eight cents yep is there an average of three
ninety California is an average of five forty eight. Only
other state that has more than five dollars gas is
the state of Washington. It's of five dollars in twenty
four cents there. I saw Seattle's five sixty three, which
would make that the most expensive gas on average. So
that's your gas report for the day. We have. In
addition to all of that, we've got people still freaking
out about the Democrat socialist and the people that are
freaking out the most are the Democrats. They don't want
those socialists being part of their party. And I think
it's pretty obvious that the Democrat Socialists of America have hijacked,
tried to hijack the Democrat Party. And the reason why
is it they couldn't get anywhere on their own. They
had to line up with and get on a ballot
under Democrat. And the Democrats are saying, we don't like this,
not at all. So let's start off. Van Jones was
in the Obama administration. He's a big spokesman for people
on the left, and he doesn't like it either.
Speaker 2: You have to be concerned, You have to be concerned.
You got to look. I used to be on the
left side of Pluto.
Speaker 3: You know, I was a berserkly activist of the first
few Democrats. Hey listen, I was to the left of Democrats.
I was out there with the best of them. So
but listen, you know then I grew up and they
had a family and realized some of these ideas are nutty.
But to have somebody who, you know, their main qualification
for being in our party is they were celebrating after
October eighth, the murder of innocent israelis to have somebody
and our party get the nomination whose main qualification is
saying that there should be no police, no prisons. Israel
shouldn't exist. Uh, this is a this should is a
red flashing light. And I think people who have more
reasonable ideas in this party and I start working because
what's happening is uh the establishment things that you can
just buy ads and that's gonna get endorsements. That's going
to somehow help you win. Trump figured out and figured
out the hard way. You can't win in Iran with
just bombers if you have nothing on the ground. Moderates
cannot win in these blue districts that they have nothing
on the ground. Off All they have are as an endorsement,
and they don't have the door knocking army of the
ds A.
Speaker 2: You're going to see more and more of these candidates. Listen.
Speaker 3: I don't I want to say, as Democratic chow you,
the Democratic Socials of America have a ground farms.
Speaker 2: It's not an acronym. A lot of.
Speaker 3: Welcome to my world, to my world where you have
to know where the ds favors, the the CPUSA.
Speaker 2: It's a whole different world over here.
Speaker 3: My only point is this, Uh, they've got ground troops
and passion matters and a mobilized base matters and moderates
keep thinking that they can just say shame on you
and sign another check. You're going have to put people
on these doors otherwise they're going to have people like
this and worse taking off this party.
Speaker 1: Van Jones is right. I mean there's not only do
they have a huge door knocking army, which is incredible,
get out the boat, get people mobilized. But they have
a passion. They really are passionate about their beliefs. They
really do want to get rid of police. Ice, which
is police, but they want ice. They want police to
be gone. They want prisons to be shut down. They
don't want to put anybody in prison. They want the
border completely open. We had the lady yet to one
of the ones that want in New York. She wants
to nationalize the airlines because she feels that it costs
too much to fly on United Airlines or American or Delta.
If she wants to have the government take him over
and we'll have government airplanes. I'm halfway trying to figure
out how they can accomplish that. Let them have a
government airline and let's see if anybody wants to fly
on it. Let them. I mean, you can't open that well,
they already have been the Democrats. Well, I'm not talking
about Democrats, socialists. Democrats across the country have been opening
their prison walls, opening the doors, letting the people out
of prison. So there's a that's they're not that far.
I mean, Van Jones is trying to say, we can't
have these people be part of our party. They're pretty close.
They're cousin, they're kissing cousins. They are pretty darn close
to what Democrats already believe. So one of the many
Democrats lining up to take a shot at running for
president in twenty eight is the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro,
and his whole his old card is that he is
a moderate Democrat and can moderate Democrat to win. Well,
here's the governor.
Speaker 4: I think what is important are the people who are
making a lot of noise we're engaging in these performative
politics have to now figure out how to deliver results.
I think we as a party need to find our
way toward candidates who actually can deliver for people and
make their lives better. I think what our party has
to go through that will be very healthy and something
we've not really done since the nineteen ninety two election
site is to have a battle over what we believe in.
Speaker 1: Well, that sounds nice, it's the old it's kind of
too tame for a lot of people. Let's have a discussion. Well,
Josh gottheimer. He's more bold than Josh Shapiro.
Speaker 5: I think there's a new group of Democrats socialists, who
are socialists who are not common sense Democrats who are
not interested in getting things done. They're interested in throwing bombs,
not actually solving problems.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that. Besides in Democrats in any
political office, they're performative politicians. They throw bombs, they want
to get the media attention. If there's a camera or
a microphone anywhere nearby, they'll be even getting louder. So
the calm, reasonable, thoughtful politician. I don't know if we
can elect them anymore. So. This morning on CNBC, Joe Kiernan,
one of the anchors, they had Jakim Jeffries on and
Joe Curtin said, you're next. They're they're they are literally
yelling a lot of these performative far left, the Democrat
socialists that Hakim Jeffries he's one of the leaders of
the Democrat Party that he's next, and he totally pushed
back on it.
Speaker 2: They were saying, you're next.
Speaker 6: About Hakeem Jeffers, You're next, You're next, You're next.
Speaker 2: You can't you can't think this is.
Speaker 7: This is a positive development in New York politics.
Speaker 8: Can you?
Speaker 9: First of all, I've clearly rejected those things, and that's
number one, number two, and my records face for itself.
This is not a Dems will be DEM's situation. Donald
Trump is the president of the United States of America
right now.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how the Trump comment got in there,
but that's what they resort to is you don't have anything,
you don't have an answer, you don't know what to say.
Say you know Trump is president right now? Well I
had no idea. So they are yelling he's next. And
remember he is a New York City office holder. He
represents part of Brooklyn, and all around him are now
people that were the people in New York City were
voting for Democrats socialists. So I think he may be next.
Joe Concha, wait in.
Speaker 7: Oh, it is a route at this point, I believe
we saved the tapes around here, So let's save this
tape right now. Chuck Schumer will not survive any primary
challenger from the Democrat Socialists of America, especially if Alexandria
Cassio Cortez, she just told Fox News Digital yesterday that
she may run for Senate in New York, didn't rule
it out. Certainly, we'll put it that way, if she
decides to take on Schumer. Schumer's done because he used
to be a public sixty percent approval among New York voters.
Speaker 2: He's now bogged down in the thirties.
Speaker 7: And then you look at Hakeem Jeffries and his approval
is in the twenties. And I think people need to
understand I think you articulated perfectly during your monologue, is
that Democrats socialists really don't like Maga Republicans, but they
especially hate establishment Democrats, and they are not too here
to work with the Democratic Party in this current structure.
To your point, they're here to take over the party.
And that's what's happening in major American cities, not just
New York. Seattle has a socialist mayor, Washington, you see,
is going to have a socialist mayor. Los Angeles very
well can have a socialist mayor, and one by one
these cities will fall because the establishment right now means
status quo and Democrat voters, especially young ones with all
the energy, don't like the status quo right now.
Speaker 1: And he's right, they have a lot of energy. And
so we've talked about the Democrats and Republicans and the
fact that they change over years. The Republicans today are
split by maga influence and it's not the old established
establishment Republican party, not at all. That was the point
of Donald Trump with to go in and kick out
the old establishment. And the Democrats are going through the
same exact thing. So mark your calendars fairly closely. Yet
you don't have to go out that many years, and
we will see dramatically different political parties. The Republican and
Democrat parties are not going to be recognizable. Carlos Jmenez
a longtime Republican South from South Florida. He also is
very concerned about what's going on with the Democrats being
taken over. Even though he's a Republican. He thinks the
Socialists are going to win.
Speaker 10: I don't think they can and they're losing the battle
big time. And so can you imagine that you actually
have to sign a document that says that you want
secure borders, that you support capitalism, and that you're patriotic.
I mean, you have to go that fara and that's
actually sign a document that shows how frightening this Democrat
Party has become and that they can never ever, you know,
get the reigns of power, because they will change America fundamentally.
And by the way, what's happened in New York and
those supposed Democrats socialists, No they're not. They're actually fascists
wrapped around socialism. And there are some images coming out
of New York that are frightening to me. Things that
I've seen, you know, I've seen images like that, you know,
back in the thirties in Germany. And so this is
what's happening now to the Democrat Party. And there's thirteen
of them, thirteen of over two hundred have signed a
pledge that they are they're patriotic, they like capitalism, and
they want secure borders. That in itself shows you the
state of the Democrat Party today.
Speaker 2: It's a statement of weakness to stop them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I'm watching all these people and I'm thinking, well,
the establishment Republicans, the old establishment Republicans are kind of
looking for a home because they got pushed out of
the Republican Party. Are they going to line up with
the establishment Democrats and somehow work together? You never know.
One of the leaders of the Democrat Party, Alyssa Slotkin,
the Senator from Michigan, she wants to get rid of
all the leadership of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 11: There is every single day a debate going on in
the Democratic Party. And for me, this is why I'm
a big believer in just new leadership. Significant The old
models do not work for people, and that including the
Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: I don't take a wild stab. I think she's in
her forties, so she's when she talks about the old model,
I think she's talking about the old people in the party.
All right, let's move on. Big decision today by the
jury in Los Angeles. This guy, Jonathan render Neck was
an uber driver who was accused of causing the LA fires,
especially Pacific Palisades, and they found him. I don't know.
He called nine to one one a number of times
on New Year's Eve. He was an uber driver. New
Year's Eve. He was complaining the passengers that he drove
that evening, said he was angry that he did not
have a date, and he basically thought Luigi Magioni was
a hero, and he was mad at rich people. And
you're in Pacific Palace Age, which is almost one hundred
percent rich people. And so they said, huh, he must
have started the fire. And so they found a lighter
in his car. Well, I don't know, I don't have one,
but I'm sure a lot of you have a lighter
somewhere on your person or in your purse or who knows.
But that was that, and then they had they had
other evidence that he was there, I guess, tracking his phone.
But the fire that they accused him of starting on
New Year's Eve, the fire department went and put that
fire out, but it was five days later when apparently,
and I had no idea, but apparently the roots of
the bushes that were burned, the roots were still burning
and with the wind whipping up, five days later, the
fire came back to life and led to burning down
thousands of homes. So they had a trial. The trial
has been underway. The jury came back today. Judge had
this is a federal courthouse in Los Angeles. The judge
had to declare a mistrial, and the way the jury
broke down, ten said not guilty, too said guilty. So
the Feds now this afternoon, after all of this, this,
so this mistrial has been declared. It was all based
on circumstantial evidence. And I thought, how can they accused
him to use him of a fire that he wasn't
anywhere near five days later but they link him to
the burning roots from January December thirty. First, well, here's
some of the comments made by jury members after they
came out of the courthouse, just too holding out.
Speaker 12: The entire time, we were like kind of going back
and forth and it was like undecided and decided. Maybe
like four of us were like set on the not guilty,
and then they were all undecided. And then there's it
just happened that one person was not gonna budge from
the guilties. And then someone this morning said I go
on that side too.
Speaker 1: And do you figure out?
Speaker 12: But definitely started out the majority was always like not
guilty and like seven five yeah, like probably seven and
then like three undecided too guilty. And then we talked
and talked, and when we realized it was like someone
wasn't gonna budge, we were like what are we doing here?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go nuts.
Speaker 12: I think it's such a waste of our American dollars.
I just feel like such negligence. Like honestly, I hate
saying that because I'm not you know, it didn't happen
to me, but there were so many, so many people
up there said they did see smoldering, So why wasn't
it taken care of? It was put out and no
one was there. I think the photos like six am,
nobody was there. People were hiking and it wasn't until
the huge palace dates happened and a lot of things
were not maybe necessarily excluded, but the way that was
presented was very misleading.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think I agree with Serena here that you know,
I don't think he was I would have leaned not
guilty as well. I think a lot of the witnesses
that the defense brought really helped suade me. They brought
in their own experts who didn't agree with the government's experts.
Having not secured a scene for almost two weeks says
a lot. And to pin that on one person, you know,
at the end of the day, we're all human. I
realize mistakes are made, but this is a man's life,
and we can't ignore that fact either.
Speaker 1: So it was I don't understand why the FEDS are
going to retry this guy because it wasn't eleven to
one in favor of convicting. It was ten to two
feeling it was not guilty. They could not. You can't
tell the jury that something that he did a week
ago caused a fire a week later. It just did
not pass the smell test. In Paul Morrow, the former
detective over at the NYPD, had similar feelings.
Speaker 6: I actually was not just a because primarily of the
delay in time between when he supposedly set the original
fire and when the Palisades fire actually took place that
did the damage that we all know so much about
and saw the films of. There's a little bit of
a causation issue there. Un Let's remember something. This doesn't
mean that the ten people who found him not guilty
or were going to find him not guilty wholeheartedly believed
that he had nothing to do with this. The bar
is reasonable doubt, and this was a very unique set
of circumstances. Now, look, I never worked us in an explosion.
That's the units here in NYPD. I had a couple
of arson things. But the idea that a fire could
go down into the roots of a tree and sort
of percolate for almost a week and then re emerge
is novel to me, and I suspect it would be
novel to a lot of jurors. And so, while I
do think there was some compelling evidence here, the stuff
on his phone chat, GBT and all of that, I
think the defense did a good job of raising a
causation reasonable doubt here, and the proofs into putting ten
people went for it.
Speaker 1: I think I'm right there with Paul. I'm having a
hard time saying you are you absolutely sure, beyond a
reasonable doubt that the fire that he set on December
thirty first was the cause of the fire that was
January sixth Maybe, but beyond a reasonable debt? Well carry
her bond. Former DOJ lawyer, she weighs in us. From
the legal side, Yeah.
Speaker 14: You know, what may have convinced the jury or have
certainly impacted those tenders was an expert that the defense called,
and this was a retired LA Sheriff's Department arson investigator,
and he testified that this case is quote probably not
an arson and then he went on to say, in fact,
I don't think it's arson at all to kind of
tack onto what Paul is saying. So maybe that that
expert given that he was, you know, part of the
LA Sheriff's department at one point, this is this was
his area of expertise. The fact that he came and
said I don't think this is what it is may
have put those tenders over the edge the other way.
Speaker 1: Oh again, after all this is said and done, the
federal prosecutor in La said, we're going to retry him.
You're wasting your time, You're wasting money, You're wasting a
lot of people's time, I think. But in any case,
he's set to free. He's free until until they reset
the trial. I think before they reset the trial, they'll
rethink this and maybe not try him again. John Bolton,
who I've told you before, I know he's a big hawk.
I know John. I admire him. He's so brilliant. He
is just a brilliant man. He was at the top
of his class at Yale Law School. I mean, he
just he's a smart guy. So if he was so
smart and he was the national security advisor in Trump
one point zero, he knows the rules about classified documents
backwards and forwards. Well, what he was doing was he
was taking notes while he was in national security meetings
or meetings with the president, and then in order to
remember those And I do the same thing myself sometimes
I'll send myself an email to remember something that from
from the office so that when I get home it'll
be there. Well, that's what he was doing. He wanted
to remember some of these things, so he sent them
to himself, and therefore they were on his personal computer.
He would, I don't know, open them up, print them,
keep them, download them, do something with him. But they
were on his computer. And apparently he also talked to
his wife and daughter about some of the matters that
he was dealing with regarding national security. Well, that's a
huge no no. And the president, you know, he's on
a retribution at campaign, and he doesn't like John Bolton,
and John Bolton doesn't like him, even though they worked
together many years ago. But if they're going to be
the NSA guy, and you know what the rules are,
you're leaving yourself open for the President or anybody else
in the federal government to charge you with a crime.
And that is what he's been charged with him. Today
he showed up in federal court in Maryland and pleaded guilty.
Here's Kelly Hayes, the US Attorney for Maryland this morning.
Speaker 15: Just moments ago, John Robert Bolton, the second pled guilty
in federal court to the unlawful retention of national defense information.
According to the terms of the plea agreement, mister Bolton
faces a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison,
followed by a term of up to three years of
supervised release. He will also pay a fine of two
point two five million dollars and will forfeit his pension
under the Hiss Act. As National Security Advisor to the
President of the United States, mister Bolton had access to
and was responsible for safeguarding the most sensitive national defense information,
including classified material.
Speaker 1: So this is head scratchiform me because, like I said,
Bolton is so brilliant, but this was a stupid mistake.
This is something This is stupid. So I don't know
why he did what he did. He should have known better,
but he pled guilty for illegally retaining national security information.
And he was the ambassador to the UN in the
In the George W. Bush's administration and then he was
NSA National Security advisor in Trump one point zero. So
he's going to forfeit his pension. I don't know how
many years worth, but it's it's probably decent money. Paid
two point two five million in fines, and they're going
to sentence him down the road a little bit and
they may give him up up to five years in prison.
I don't know if he's going to see jail time.
But the problem became no One was that he discovered
that Iran. He had knew somebody was hacking his home
computer and it turned out to it with somebody from Iran.
Iran also has a hit out for him, a hit contract.
They want to kill him. He John Bolton, Mike Pompeo,
and President Trump for killing and being involved in killing
General Solomoni, and so Bolton's on that list. And so
besides wanting to kill him, they also hacked his computer.
So he knew his computer was hacked. He called up
the NSSAY and said, hey, my computer has been hacked.
They did the technical work and found out it was
somebody from Iran. So he did have secret information that
Iran was able to get, which is why they don't
want people doing what he did. The interesting part about
this is Donald Trump was also charged with the marral
Lago documents his place, but they dropped those charges because
the prosecutor did not have authority to charge him with
those crimes. And Joe Biden was also charged. Well, he
was in charge, was he was the investigator because of
national security documents that he had the Adam at his home,
He had him in his home office, he had him
in the garage next to the corvette. He Adam at
at the University of Pennsylvania Biden Center. They were all
over the place. But they did not charge Joe Biden
because remember what they wrote that he was just the
doddering old man. So they didn't charge Biden because he
was the dottering old man. They didn't charge Trump because
the prosecutor didn't have the authority. But they went after
John Bolton. And he's paying dearly, dearly, dearly for his mistakes.
And speaking of Iran, so I told you yesterday that
Iran has fired upon a ship flagged a cargo ship
flagged in Singapore, and President today said that it was
a mistake on the part of Iran to do that.
That was a huge mistake and it violated the ceasefire agreement.
So General Keene was asked about, now what do we do?
Speaker 8: Well, it didn't surprise me at all, I mean, because
the reality is hold on when they look at the
stretch of the moves and what they were able to
achieve when they first shut it down on two March,
you know, just several days after the war began on
February twenty eighth, and then we went to a ceasefire
several weeks later on April the eighth. They achieved something
with that and that is stuck in their head. They
believe this gives them geopolitical advantage over our over their adversaries,
the Golf States in the region, and also some leverage
with the United States. So remember the MoU. While everything
is in the future in the MU, over the sixty
day negotiation period and then some you know, in terms
of all things nuclear ballistic missiles, support for proxies, and
the list goes on. But the deal, an agreement that
was struck, was over the strait of a moves in
the MoU, and that certainly is that it is supposed
to be open all lanes clear of the lanes that
are not clear and no administrative control whatsoever. And here
Iran is doing two things. One is they're exercising administrative
control and certainly.
Speaker 2: That is prohibited.
Speaker 8: But what I mean by that they're telling ships where
they can go and when they can go in terms
of what lanes. And two you have to get Iranian
insurance to execute that. That is absolutely prohibited by the MoU.
And then obviously violating the cease fire is what it is.
And taking a cargo ship, Now why did they shoot
at that ship, Well, because it was in a lane
that they didn't want them to be in. Elaine is
much closer to Oman Alman and where US military forces are.
So we're going to have to arm wrestle this out,
make certain that they step back, and if they could,
they continue to do this. I think a couple of
things are going to happen. The President is not going
to let this stand. He's been public record explaining exactly
where he is on the straits of a moves them.
MoU was kind of confusing in the sense, remember what
it said, no restrictions during a sixty day period. Then
when a sixty day period is over, Yes, Oman and
the running is going to work out the details in
terms of how to administer it to it, well, that
implies a level of control. The President spoke out very
pointedly on that and said that's not going to happen.
If there's any if anybody's going to control the straits,
that's going to be the United States, and we'll actually
charge a fee if a fee is appropriate. So this
is going to get resolved. Either it'll get resolved in
the runnings will stand down and stop what they're doing,
or we will force them to stand down, and Step
one would be put back in place what we were
doing when we clear the lane and we were protecting
the ships to go through that one lane that was
close to them on we were getting fifty five ships
through their a day. Or if necessary, go back to
Project Freedom, which is we absolutely open the straits physically
and keep them open and maintain a presence there to
guarantee that that's open. And obviously that would take some time,
but nonetheless that's what's in front of us. Step one.
I see the President putting his foot down here and
tell them to knock it off. And if that is
not enough, then we're going to move into the phases.
Speaker 2: I think I just mentioned to you.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see. I mean, you can't predict what Donald
Trump's going to do, but he keeps You know, everybody
gave Barack Obama a hard time because of the fact
that he had a red line and he just ignored it.
And now the question is is Donald Trump going to
ignore Is this a red line? Donald Trump doesn't define
red lines the way a lot of people do, so
we'll have to wait to see what the President decides
to do about this violation of the ceasefire. In money News, Oh,
We've got two things. One is after this podcast, we
are going to post the Financial Friday version of my
podcast Family. So again I'm going to pitch on this podcast.
If you have money questions, you have any about investing,

podcast will be up here in just a little bit.
One thing about money today, some newsmakers Neil Cashcari, who
is the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis,
came out today and said he expects a rate hike
this yes, sometime this year. Did say when, but that
there's been more and more mumbling about instead of lowering
interest rates, that the Fed may raise interest rates because
inflation continues to creep up very slowly, but it keeps
going higher. So watch for that meantime. Wall Street today, No,
I just kind of state it was a very Friday session.
The Dow Jones industrials down a little down forty four
to fifty one thousand and eight, seventy six s some
P down three, NASDAK down sixty. Price of gold the
only thing with a green arrow. It was up thirty
four dollars to four thousand and eighty one. And oil
continues to keep dropping. For the first time West Texas
Intermediate below seventy it's at six, down two dollars and
fifty cents down to sixty nine dollars and some change
for a barrel of West Texas Intermediate. Remember it was
about sixty when the war started, so we're almost back
to pre war prices. So that's it for today. Thank
you for coming by. We will be back again with
the Financial Friday Podcast a little bit and we'll also
be back here again on Monday, and I hope to
see you then
