Speaker 1: And Hi, how are you Welcome to The Big Podcast.
It is Thursday. Today is the eighteenth day of September,
Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. My name is
Tom Sullivan. We are now. We've got a lot to
cover today. I want to We've got, you know, all
the latest update about Charlie Kirk and I got the
list of the speakers at his funeral, which I'm just
holding my head about. I'll fill you in on all
of that. We've got Jimmy Kimmel and the story about
ABC dropping his show indefinitely. All of that to go
over to day. But I want I want to start
in York County, Pennsylvania. And it's a little county on
the southern side of southeastern side of Pennsylvania. And yesterday
there was some police that were going to serve a
warrant on a guy who a woman had called. She
lived in a house that was out in the country
and was across the street from a oh big I
don't know how much how big it was, it was
huge corn, uh, just corn as far as you could see.
So there were cornstocks. And the police came to serve
a warrant on this guy for stalking the woman in
this particular house. They got out of their police car
and the guy was hiding in the cornstalks and unloaded
on them, shot five of them, killed three of them.
Two of them are in critical condition. We got word
just before we started taping the podcast today that the
police they are saying that they will eventually fully recover.
But I mean, we talked so much about Charlie Kirk
and his funeral and the shooting and his widow, and
I'm going this is just as bad. Nobody knew who
these officers were. But when they went to work casteray,
it's broad daylight yesterday. When they went to work yesterday,
they thought they were going to be coming home. Their
families thought they were going to be coming home.
Speaker 2: And so the.
Speaker 1: Grief and the shock of their spouses and children just
as intense as Charlie Kirk's wife and his well, his
little children don't know. But it's just one of those
where evil, evil is alive. And well, here's the announcement
that was made by the Colonel in charge of the
Pennsylvania State Police yesterday evening.
Speaker 3: I can confirm that the shooter is dead. I can
confirm that there were five law enforcement officers who were
shot today, three fatally, two that were transported here to
well Span in York. They are currently listed in critical
but stable condition.
Speaker 1: And John Hoyt is the person in charge of the
Fraternal Order of Police in the state of Pennsylvania. Is
here's reaction are they're critical but stable.
Speaker 4: It's still so early to tell, but the County of York,
It's people, law enforcement in Pennsylvania are all there beside them,
rallying for them. We're going to do everything we can
for them. Sure, I can't get two into the details today,
but they were serving a warrant for an event that
happened the day prior. They knew who the individual was. Unfortunately,
the individual was set up and had a advantage on
them and ambush as soon as they arrived. I don't
have the details. I don't want to speak on any details.
I'm not one hundred percent sure on but that's my
opinion at this time. We know the risks. Doesn't mean
we like them, but we accept them and with who
we lost yesterday, Yesterday's an awful, tragic day, but I
think we need to remember how they conducted themselves and
chose to live their lives for years serving your county
with distinction and honor, and being the hero for so
many people for so many years.
Speaker 1: So there you go. It is. Nobody goes into law
enforcement with a death wish, but they're willing to accept
that risk as they go out there every day and
every night to keep the criminals as far away from
you as they possibly can. God bless them to the
families that are suffering from finding out that their spouse
has died yesterday in the line of duty. And by
the way, the body count, if you will, thirty police
officers have been killed so far this year. All right,
onto silly business, if you will, talking about Jimmy Kimmel.
So last night news came out ABC said we're indefinitely
stopping the Jimmy Kimmel program. There's so many angles to
this that I want to share with you. One of
them is I worked in local and network television for
a long time, and I remember when I first started
in local television, I worked for an NBC affiliate KCRA.
Those days, the network's paid the local affiliates to take
their programming. You signed up to be an NBC affiliate,
NBC would write you a check for taking their programming
because in their programming they got to sell advertising, and
NBC kept the money from the advertising mostly and the
local affiliate maybe would get a little bit, but it
was the networks paid the affiliates. And I don't remember
the exact year, but I want to say it was
somewhere around nineteen ninety nineteen ninety five, somewhere around and there.
I remember it was the buzz of the station that
all of a sudden, the networks ABC, NBCCBS decided, wait
a minute, we're providing you with all this great programming
and we're bringing eyeballs to your TV station, why don't
you pay us. So the affiliates had to pay the
networks for the programming that they would then air on
their stations. And so it's gone full circle because what's
happened over the years, and I've said it many times,
I don't know anybody that would invest in television today.
It's not dying, but it certainly is a lot smaller
than it used to be. Cable took a lot of
that business away. The number of eyeballs watching ABC NBCCBS
dropped precipitously over the years with the advent of cable,
but now cable is feeling the exact same effect of
a lot of people that watched television then watch cable.
They're getting older and it's a smaller audience and the
younger audiences, which is the place where the advertisers want
to see, they're watching streaming. That's they're watching online, they're
watching on their phones, they're watching movies on Netflix. So
it's really changed everything. And in the world of local television,
they have a lot of stations have been sold and
they've been sold to two primary companies. There's a lot
of different companies that own TV stations, but the two
biggies are Tegna, which used to be Gannet Broadcasting USA
today and Gannet. It's one company. They sold off the
broadcasting and they kept the newspapers, but the new company
that used to be Gannet is called Tegna. Well, Tegna
is owned a whole bunch of television stations, and there
is another company out there, next Star, which is the
biggest owner of television stations in the country. They have
two hundred and sixty five local television stations in forty
four states. You may be watching your local ABC or
NBC or CBS network shows whatever channel. That number that is,
but it's probably a Next Star station or the second
biggest is accompanied by the name of Sinclair. And I
don't mean to bog you down with all the weeds here,
but I spent a lot of time in TV and Sinclair.
They own one hundred and eighty five stations and they're
in eighty five different markets. And what they have done
is they've bought up a lot of these local stations.
Some of them are ABC affiliates, some NBC, some CBS,
but collectively everything has changed. The tail is now wagging
the dog because the affiliates are the ones that turned
on ABC. They did not like what Jimmy Kimmel said,
kind of. I'll get into that in just a second,
into what the real reason is behind all this. They
didn't like what he said, and so they said, guess what, ABC,
we are carrying your programming and we're going to stop
carrying Jimmy Kimmel effective immediately. That was Next Star. Then
Sinclair said, yeah, me too. So now ABC found themselves
in a real predicament. They had the heavy majority of
their stations saying we're not carrying Jimmy Kimmel. So ABC said, okay,
then we're canceling Jimmy Kimmel's program indefinitely. Then you get
into the whole thing about people are yelling about free
speech in this country. I've told you the other day
about free speech. Free speech is the government cannot stop
you from saying whatever you want to say. But other
than the government, you can say something, but you may
be held accountable. If you say something that offend somebody
walking down the street, they may give you a knuckle sandwich.
In the case of saying things that your employer doesn't like,
they may give you a pink slip. You do not
have free speech at work. And for those of us
that have been in broadcasting, it's not a perfect line,
but we know about where the line is that we
should not cross because if we do, we might get
in trouble with our employer. And that is exactly what
has been happening with Jimmy Kimmel. Let me give you
another comment about Kimmel. One of the things that you
know is that if you are out in the forest
and you keep poking the bear, the bear is going
to eat you. It just is. And Jimmy Kimmel doesn't
like Donald Trump and the feeling's mutual. Donald Trump doesn't
like Jimmy Kimmel, and so he kept poking Trump. He's
been making fun of him, he's been mocking him. I
know he's a comedian. I actually I haven't seen Jimmy
Kimmel's program. I don't in the evening. I don't think
I've ever seen a full program. I've only watched maybe
pieces of it two or three times. I just am
not up that late. My bedtime is before that. But
I will tell you when, back in the day, when
Jimmy Kimmel was on The Man Show, I thought he
was hilarious, thought he was a very funny guy. But
he's fallen into the same trap that Colbert fell into,
which is, instead of taking an entertainment show that airs
at eleven thirty at night, they've turned both of them
turned their shows into political political shows. And right away,
you're going to lose half of your audience because half
your audience doesn't agree with you the other half. There's
not that many that tune in every night. And I'm
waiting to find out CBS was losing a fortune on
Colbert's show. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it
wasn't the same with Jimmy Kimmel. The ABC was losing
a lot of money. But let's go back to the money.
You always follow the money. I've told you a million times.
The story behind this is well, Kimmel kept poking the bear,
so it was just a matter of time. Let me
play for you what Kimmel said on his last show,
and I don't know about you, but I wasn't shocked
by what he said.
Speaker 5: He hit some new lows over the weekend with the
Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and
everything they can to score a political points from it.
In between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday,
the White House flew the flags at half staff, which
got some criticism.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it. I mean, I from the fact
that ABC dumped him, I thought maybe he had come
out and attacked Charlie Kirk or said Charlie Kirk was
a really bad guy, or was a fake hypocrite, or
what some kind of name calling, But instead he was
talking about the Maga crowd did not want to be
associated with the killer and trying to pretend like they're
not part The guy was no more Mega than the
Man in the Moon.
Speaker 2: But that was.
Speaker 1: Going into a territory of talking about Mega, talking about
Charlie Kirk, talking about the assassination, and that's all it took.
And I think that was all that people, well, the
people at Next Star put out a statement about how
it was offensive and insensitive, and that's why they said
they were no longer taking the show. And it was
it was offensive and insensitive, and it was dumb on
the part of Kimmel to even go into that area.
You know, there's another show on ABC. It's on in
the morning. Used to be years ago, Regis and Kathy
Lee and then Regis Philbin and Kelly, and Kelly's gone
through a whole bunch of co hosts. She must be
hard to get along with. I don't know, but her
current co host is her husband, Mark Well. Kelly and
Mark have been on ABC for a long time and
they apparently are doing just fine. You know why, because
they talk about stupid stuff. They talk about silly business,
they talk about husband's snoring. They don't go anywhere near politics.
They're trying to make their morning talk show entertaining. You
want to listen to the King of late night talk
Johnny Carson. This was him telling sixty minutes after he
retired about what late night talk show should be.
Speaker 6: Why do they think that just because you have it
tonight's show, that you must deal in serious issues. It's
a danger, It's a real danger. Once you start that,
do you start to get that self important feeling that
what you say has great import and you know, strangely enough,
you could use that show as a form you could
sway people, And I don't think you should as an entertainment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as an entertainer, And they've gotten away from entertaining.
They think telling political jokes is funny. Well, some people
on one side of the aisle probably think some of
them are funny. But I, I don't know. I don't
know where this is going to go. Will Jimmy fallon?
And who's the other guy on late at night? Are
they the last of the Mohicans? I think the era
of late night television is over because they did get
away from something that you could at the end of
the day, when all of the troubles of the day
and you're settling down at night, or maybe even in
bed and they made you laugh, they entertained you. But
somehow along the line, everybody's all upset about about the
fact that the companies actually want to have different type
of programming. But this is also dicey territory of ABC
pulling that show. Did they do it for programming reasons? Maybe?
But there's also always follow the money. There's always money involved,
and that is that Next Star wants to buy Tagna.
It's a multi billion dollar deal. It must get approval
by the Federal Traige Commission, And the Federal Treak Commission
is run by a guy named Brendan Carr who is
a heavy duty Republican guy, and he's trying to crack
down on these stations. So they need approval of Brendan
Carr in the Federal Communication Commission. And so this is
obviously part of why ABC said let's just get rid
of Kimmel. He's nothing but trouble. It's the say. I
think there was a great part of why CBS got
rid of Cobert was they were trying to do a
multi billion dollar deal with sky Dance, who bought them.
It's so there's a lot of money involved between all
of this. Follow the money now I'll tell you this
is there was a book written back in I think
it was nineteen ninety one ken Aletta, and it's called
Three Blind Mice. And what it's about is the three
mice that he wrote about were ABC in CBS, and
there was a big hubbub because of the fact that
they were laying off some of the reporters. In nineteen
ninety one, that's when the peak of television had passed,
and down it went from there and it's still going down.
But what he wrote about was that there were reporters
and anchors and all these other people you see on
TV and behind the scenes were upset because of the
Three Blind Mice. We're actually saying, we have to make money.
We're publicly traded companies, we have shareholders, and we can't
afford to just pay you whatever you want to get paid.
So we're going to keep some highly paid people, but
we're going to trim the staff. And oh the squealing
led to the book by Ken Allet a Three Blind Mice,
and it was the same arguments that's been going on
ever since. Why we're journalists, you can't do this to us.
We have we're journalists and the company said, we're a company,
a profit oriented company, we're not nonprofit, so sorry, see
you later, and a lot of those people went away,
and we've never seen him since.
Speaker 2: So I.
Speaker 1: Look at this. Let me just play this other cautionary
note though. David Slayne I believe is his name. He's
a political commentator over at CNN, and he makes a
very interesting point as they were debating this whole issue
about Jimmy Kimmel this morning.
Speaker 7: Well, there's no doubt it is a statement about a
bigger thing. It is everything Brian just walked through about
what he observed happened in Hungary and making comparisons here.
I mean that should concern anyone of any political stripe
right because it gets to some fundamental foundational principles about
American democracy. I think you make such a good point, John,
though obviously private employers can do what they want. Why
this is such a concern, why we're talking about it,
is because of this concerted government effort from the president
on down to impose this chilling effect that that is
not the norm. And by the way, if you are
on the right right now and you champion this because
you believe in what Donald Trump is doing in this regard,
just flip the script, because imagine when a Democrat is
in office if they were to pursue this same kind
of strategy. Imagine what you would experience and what would
you feel if you felt that voices that you believe
should be heard were being chilled in silenced through government action.
Speaker 1: That's the point that I have made endlessly on this
program is flip the script. I think a lot of
people play checkers, they don't play chess, and so could
you imagine I'm the next Democrat that occupies the White House?
Will they go after Fox News? Will they go after
Wall Street Journal? Will they go after conservative voices? No
matter where do you want to go? The beauty of
podcast is we don't have a government license. I love it.
But what Shelan was talking about was, yeah, can you
imagine Barack Obama? Well he did, he did. He did
call out Fox News. He said Fox News is not
a real news organization. That was as bold as it got.
I don't know what Biden, I don't even know if
he knew what he was doing. But in any case,
a Democrat president could could do the same thing and
go after Fox News and go after some of the
people and their voices on conservative voices in this country.
And so I don't like that part of this is
because it seems like it is checkers are not chess.
And I can't help but think that this is going
to come back to haunt people on the right the
next time you have a Democrat in the White House.
So while I'm on a rant about the government being
I'm a small government guy. I'm a true conservative, small government,
smaller taxes. And I saw Cash Patel, who I'm glad
he's the head of the FBI. He's doing a lot
of wonderful things. But he was testifying yesterday. They were
asking about social media radicalizing people in this country, and
this is what he had to say, which gave me
a lot upont.
Speaker 8: We solve this by giving the FBI more authorities to
go into and work with the private sector. There are
too many online platforms, there are too many social media platforms,
there are too many gaming platforms and infesting the minds
of our children and infecting them with radical ideology. And
that is the root cause of these problems, and we
must tackle it. Is not a nineteen fifties America anymore.
In twenty twenty five, the cyber space needs to be tackles.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, just wait a minute, did the FBI,
not just during the Biden administration, get involved in tampering
with Twitter and censoring conservative voices and getting Yes, the
government was involved with social media telling them to censor
conservative voices and this I'm sorry, but just because a
Republican or a conservative is leading the FBI, I think
it's still wrong. The government needs to keep their mind
and their nose out of our business. Please. Here's Andy McCarthy,
who I believe is of the same thought that I am.
Speaker 9: Well, I think it would probably be better to begin
with Congress rather than the FBI. You know, there's two
ways to take what Director Patel said.
Speaker 1: One way is.
Speaker 9: To remember that it was during the Biden administration that
the FBI and other government agencies worked with the tech
platforms in a way that ended up suppressing constitutionally protected
speech that should have been available to people but wasn't.
So there's always a slippery slope kind of danger if
you get a law enforcement agency together with you know,
these private platforms. What ends up happening is the platforms
can do speech suppression and other dicey things that the
government wouldn't be able to do on its own. So
I would be against the FBI being the sort of
point of the sphere for a very necessary investigation of
what is going on online and what things we ow
to be doing about it. That's kind of why God
made Congress. Well, that's that's pretty typical of Congress. If
somebody else can do it, if they can delegate it
to somebody else, that's what they do, and then they
go on TV to complain about how bad it is.
Speaker 1: Cash Hotel did go into the area about the fact
that young people are being radicalized online. We went through
that with ISIS and all of that business. But now
this guy who is charged with assassinating Charlie Kirk, they're
saying he was radicalized online, and how can the FBI, Well,
they're talking about they got to try to figure out
how to put their arms around this radicalization.
Speaker 9: No, I think the problem is not just that it's
kind of a dispersed entity. It's hard to get a
read on exactly what it is, as you just said,
But the bigger problem is to the extent that we're
worried about how it operates here. It's a domestic organization
and Our law only provides for designations of foreign terrorist
organizations or what they call, you know, global terrorists, which
means their activities have to be mostly international. And the
reason for that is we have plenty of laws on
the books in the United States to deal with domestic terrorism.
I prosecuted terrorists operating in the United States before we
even had any of these laws. But when their international
Congress has to give the government some jurisdiction to do
the investigative things we need done.
Speaker 1: All right, let's check the email botch. We haven't done
this in quite a while. I got a nice email
from truck and per Mudge. And by the way, my
email address is right on my website, Tom Sullivan dot com,
and it has my web it has my email address,
it has the link to my podcast if you want
to send it to somebody or if you forget how
to find it. But Truckin says, what's McClintock's problem. Omar
should not just lose her committee assignments. Her citizenship should
be revoked, and she should be d e y. I'm
not sure what that means in any case. Talking about
four congressmen, one of them I believe is his own
congressman who for Republicans who voted to protect Elon Omar
from being censured and stripped of her committee assignments for
making and for making fun of Charlie Kirk's assassination. So
the four of Republicans who said, no, we're not going
to strip her of her committee assignments, We're not going
to censure her. Tom McClintock, Congressman Mike Flood, Jeff Hurd,
and Congressman Mills. So those are the four that said, no,
we're not going to punish Omar for making fun of
Charlie Kirk's assassination. Wild This one I got from Dan
Lithgow sent me a photo of Charlie Kirk, and I said, insanity.
Thinking is wrong to lose your job because of what
you said. But what you said was Charlie should lose
his life for what he said. Think about that for
a minute. Dan went on to talk about the He says,
I have no problem with the doctor in New Jersey
being fired since he violated the Hippocratic oath. You can't
really defend making fun of someone who dies when others
in your profession swear I will hold the utmost respect
for every human life from fertilization to natural death. The
sad thing this doctor and most medical doctors today don't
even have to take the oath anymore, and most institutions
don't require it. Our medical institutions would be better today
if doctors were required to take the o I did
not know they did not need to, he says. When
I was in the Navy nineteen ninety three, the Navy
instituted the Sailor's Creed, and I believed it helped to
create a common core values for what it meant to
be a sailor. That's from Dan Eaglestorm, says. Full aerial
shot of the huge crowd at the London Bridge, United
March this past weekend. It's a Facebook reel, but it's
the only place I could find video enough evidence of
the entire crowd in its full length. Yeah, they have,
I mean, the President's over there and they're having these
wonderful diplomatic meeting. Did you see the state dinner at
Windsor Castle. I swear I tried to count. I think
there was about one hundred people at this one long,
giant dinner table. Now, how could you talk to the
people at the other end of the table. We have
a let alone ten feet away. Anyway, it was it
was unbelievable. Yeah, Rupert Murdoch was there. I wonder what
he was doing there. There are a bunch of people
there anyway. Back to Eaglestorm, Yeah, the crowd that they're
getting a real pushback in Great Britain about the immigrants
that have flooded into that country, and according to everybody
I've talked to, have changed the culture of Great Britain.
So if you want to go visit jolly old England,
it's not there anymore, apparently. And here's when from John
l He says, why doesn't the Department of Justice just
invalidate all of the signatures by Biden for the past, say,
three months or six months of his presidency unless it
can be proven that he signed them with his own hands.
It's fairly easy to prove it was done by a
machine or done by a person. I hate to say it, John,
but I don't think anything's going to happen out of that. Well,
here's an email from Floyd Lloyd Alexander. He responded to
a question I asked you in the audience just a
couple of days ago. I was asking about can Turning
Point usay survive without Charlie Kirk? And I likened it too,
Rush Limbaugh, Now, Rush, dear friend, an amazing talent. Nobody
could fill his shoes, and the guys who kind of
took over part of his shoes. A lot of the
stations don't take it. Their ratings are not anywhere. Nobody's
in Russia's league, nobody was, nobody is. So I look
at that and I go, that's because of he was
one of a kind. And I think Charlie Kirk in
that same paragraph one of a kind. I don't think
you can get other people to run this organization any case.
So Floyd tends me this email and he says, just
catching up with the week and listen to your Tuesday show.
You asked if the audience thought Turning Point USA would continue.
Hard to know, however, I will say this, before he
was murdered, I didn't know who Charlie Kirk was. I've
seen occasional mentions of Turning Point USA, but being tired
of politics, assumed that that was what it was about
and never checked into it. All of a sudden, the
people I work with, my children, the news, everyone's talking
about Charlie, both good and bad, made me want to
actually listen to him and decide for myself if he
was a good guy or a bad guy. Eyes opened here.
I imagine there are people such as myself who are
discovering Charlie Kirk and his movement after his death, who
would have never bade much attention before his movement might
actually grow. I certainly admire his mission and his courage.
It's sad that he has gone, and just awful that
political violence has claimed another victim. I do hope the
others will take up his quest to restore the civil
exchange of ideas. I missed the old days when we
used to do that. Maybe the teens and college kids
will see the terrible road that we're slipping down and
make a change for the good we sure needed. Go kids.
All the best to you, Tom. We missed the radio show,
but enjoy your podcast. Thanks for keeping that up. Hope
you're enjoying semi retirement. Yeah that's from well, it says Floyd,
but then signed by I guess by Debbie, Floyd's wife,
longtime listener. Thank you, Debbie. Yeah, we'll see. I don't
know if there's anybody that's going to be able to
keep live is going to take one personality. He's got
a lot of good people around him, just like Russia
had a lot of good people around him, but they're
not him. The only one that might come close, and
we'll see how she does, is his widow, Erica, And
I hope and pray the most success for her for
turning Point USA. For the people that work there that
were loyal supporters of Charlie oh speaking, and I really do.
I hope that they are very successful, and I hope
they keep it going. I'm just cynical, that's all. We'll see.
I'm not counting them in or out. I'm just going
to let the calendar pages fly by. So then I
got a notice today from CBS Radio about what the
plan is for Sunday for Charlie Kirk's memorial. When they
say memorial, I presume that will be a I don't
even know if if the cask is going to be there.
They may have already buried him somewhere. Maybe he'll be there.
It's anyway, It's in Glendale at the NFL Stadium. There
whole sixty five thousand people, says. The program is expected
to begin at two o'clock Eastern time for planning purposes.
The program is expected to be about three hours, but
could be longer. The speakers at his memorial. You know
how I go off on a rant about keep the
politicians away from tragedies instead of them coming out and
lecturing about whatever they want to lecture about. Well, guess
what the program is. It says the speakers will be
the President Donald Trump, the Vice President JD. Vance. I
get that, Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica, I get that. Then
it goes on, these are the speakers, White House Chief
of Staff Susie Wiles. Why, Secretary Marco Rubio? Why? Secretary
Robert F. Kennedy Junior double Why? Secretary Pete Hegseth again? Why?
And the Director of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbard. There was
somebody else that was on the list earlier that they
took off. But I'm going it's going to be a
bunch of politicians getting up there. Why don't they? Why
don't they just But I know charge I know that
Jadie Vans and Charlie were friends. That should be it,
along with his widow and maybe another personal friend of
his that really knew him. So that's Sunday in the
afternoon and before we but before we get out of here,
let me just I got a couple of phone call
that I do want to play for you. Let's start
with this guy who is obviously not a fan, but
we include everybody here.
Speaker 10: Hold on, I'm just winning and Tom, I listened to
you for a while. But why ain't kill me fire?
Are you racist? Stick together or what I mean? Come on, man,
you guys have bought Donald Trump hook line and sinker.
Speaker 11: Thank you, bye bye.
Speaker 1: Well, he's bringing up Brian Kilmea said something on the
air the other day, something to the event. I didn't
hear it. I saw the story about it, that they
should just exterminate or kill or do something with homeless,
and he apologized profusely for it later. I actually I'm
surprised that they did not take some action and suspend
him for some length of time. It wasn't the right
thing to say, and he knew it. But the caller
also has some other complaining to do. Let's let's get
this in.
Speaker 11: I had to call you again because you guys taught
this Christian stuff for I don't think there's a real
Christian amongst you.
Speaker 12: You're all here. Donald tells you, you guys are false prophet.
Come on Tom later, you've gone off the deep end. Tom,
good luck to you when you meet God.
Speaker 1: What everybody's got a different view. He thinks that there's
not a Christian among us, And good luck to wish
me good luck when I meet God. Thank you. I
need all the support I can get. You sound like
a kind of a grouchy old guy, but I thought
i'd play it for just grins. But we can we
can do better than that. Here's Laurie the comment line.
Speaker 2: Lady, something very important I've noticed in the aftermath of
Charlie Kirk's assassination. Is there there haven't been any riots.
No one is burning police cars or looting stores or
going out in mobs to cause trouble.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've noticed that too. Everybody. In fact, everybody seems to
be sad. It's been a very sad a couple of
weeks in this country. I feel it. I just feel
it in my bones. All right, Wall Street, Let's see
if we can find something positive there, and lo and behold,
we have a positive doo Dow was up one hundred
and twenty for the dow at forty six two, the
s and p UP thirty one, the Nasdaq up two
hundred and nine. Big news of for Intel because of
the fact that Nvidia is going to invest five billion
dollars in Intel. So it's there's another whole story on that.
I think a lot of it is they really just
want to make good, good vibes with the president and
the government wanting people to invest here in the US,
and so that's what they did. Five billion. But the
next five years I think they get five hundred billion
in revenue, So they're not putting it sounds like a
lot of money, but they're not putting huge amounts of
their money into Intel. But good for Intel, and the
Intel stock rallied today as well. Stock was up twenty
three percent today YEP a twenty three percent jump for
Intel because of the investment by Nvidio. What else do
we have on the market today, Yes, we've got also
besides the doubt one twenty four s and p UP
thirty one, Nasdaq up to nine, Gold fell thirty nine
dollars to thirty six seventy eight, and oil down forty
cents down to sixty three dollars and some change for
one barrel of oil. Thank you for coming by today.
Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. Tomorrow's Friday, Yay,
we'll see you then
