Speaker 1: And Hello, Welcome one and all to the Big Podcast
on this Tuesday. Today is the third day of February
year of all Over twenty twenty six. My name is
Tom Sullivan, and there's a lot to go over today.
There's a lot on well, on the missing woman, the
mother of Savannah Guthrie. That is a big who done it?
A mystery story, and a lot of attention being paid
to it. We've got the President talking about wanting to
nationalized elections and I I'll go over that with you
as well. Today we'll get you an update on India,
the big new trade deal with them, that's huge.
Speaker 2: Iran.
Speaker 1: The talks are going to take place on Friday. I
don't trust them. I don't think I think it's just
a delay tactic. And Elon Musk has got some big
vision out there. So we've got a lot to go
over to day. Shall we start with the missing Nancy
Guthrie from Tucson, Arizona, Arizona. This is getting the attention
quite honestly and quite bluntly because of the fact that
her daughter is famous. Her daughter is a high profile
media person, and so as a result, you're going to
get a lot of attention to this, otherwise nobody would
ever pay attention to. But also, why would somebody go
into a home which is now in the middle of
the night and abduct an eighty four year old woman.
She lives by herself the neighborhood. She lives in nice neighborhood.
Apparently the homes are on pretty good sized lots about
an acre apiece. They are out in the desert where
they apparently have a law that bands street lights they want.
They don't want the streetlights getting and interfering with looking
at the beautiful stars at night, So no street lights,
so it's dark if you have. The houses are set back,
the ring cameras are not that great from quite some distance.
So let's start with what's the sheriff of p Ma
County said early this morning.
Speaker 3: From what the family's called us and everything we've learned,
she could not walk out of that home. It's fifty yards.
Believes she was taken out of the home against her will,
and that's how this investigation is moving. Doing this for
fifty years, I have a gut feeling, but you know,
it came to me that yesterday in the early afternoon,
that she was abducted.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to say it, but I think his
gut feeling is is that she a good chance that
she is not alive. What he did not want to
say out loud because he wants to give hope and
I think that's good. But at the same time, she
has a pacemaker apparently, and that pacemaker has not sinced
with the equipment that your pacemaker sinks with since last
Sunday morning. So if the pacemaker isn't sinking, then is
the heart beating? Was that the time that everything came
to a screeching halt. We don't know, And again I
hope for the best, pray for the best. I don't
understand why somebody would abduct an eighty four year old
lady in the middle of her bedroom at night. Nicole
Parker is a farmer FBI agent, and she's not She's
not very well. She's trying to keep hope.
Speaker 4: This is a huge piece of evidence that has just
been broken, and I think that that is what this
case will come down to, as technology and the fact
that the pacemaker was no longer there, unable to sink
to the devices, that is extremely crucial. I think another
thing that law enforcement will be looking at, where is
that were there any other devices that were attempting to
You know, when you go into an area and it says,
would you like to sink to this Wi Fi? I'm
sure that they'll be checking to see if the intruder
brought any of their own devices, to see if anything
hit routers, to see if they can backtrack in that
way as well. But I think it's important to note
victims selection in this case was extremely deliberate. This is
not by chance. We know that the most vulnerable members
of society are children and the elderly, and I just
keep going back to again, a very different case, a
very different motive for sure. But Elizabeth Smart, she was
abducted from her home in two thousand and two in
the dead of night with her little sister present, This
is obviously different. It's an elderly woman, though, who was
also equally as vulnerable. We know that there are pictures
of her with her sweet daughter Savannah with a walking cane.
The individual knew that she did not have the ability
to defend herself. She is an elderly individual. They are
most vulnerable, and it is not by chance. And the
fact that the home is in such an area where
it is set back from the street, no street lights,
you know, very difficult for anyone to track if someone
was there. They're set on an acre of land with
vegetation surrounding them. It's not like the Brown case, where
ring doorbell cameras can capture, you know, things in a
very more urban area. It's going to be difficult for
law enforcement, but do not underestimate the power of over
one thousand and the leads and tips that have come
into law enforcement. They will be checking license plate readers
and the surrounding streets and areas because remember, this woman
was taken from her home and had to have been
transported in some way. Maybe not the exact neighborhood if
they turned down the lights there were no lights, not
a lot of cameras captured it, but even the surrounding
streets and neighborhoods. Law enforcement will be checking every single
surveillance camera in that area in that time frame. And
now you have the two am timeframe that helps them
narrow in on when this actually occurred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you talked about the fact that this was
targeted at two am in the morning, of course, this
wasn't something that they just accidentally drove by and said,
why don't we go see what's in that house. They
were targeting this lady. I will be surprised if it's
not related to the fact that her daughter is a
high profile television personality. The pacemaker stopped working. They know
that the ring camera apparently on the front of the house.
They're saying that it was removed from the house, and
they seemed confused. Law enforcement seems confused on this. They
think somehow that the camera has film inside of it. No,
it goes to a it goes to the cloud. It's
not there. You can rip the thing off the house
and whatever's been recorded is still in the cloud. So
it's there's some technology questions that seem to be somewhat
simple that people are having troubles with. We also found
out that her wallet, her phone, and her medications were
all still at the house, which means it was not
a robbery. LA Times is reporting that there was blood
that was found in the house. They're not saying where,
how much, or anything else about it. But all of
this is leading toward not a good ending. Another retired
FBI agent, Marin o'cono, she is still in the investigative business.
This is her observation.
Speaker 5: Well, I think there is a lot of work going
on behind the scenes. The fact that they can't get
into the cameras is actually not that uncommon. I have
a business where I put cameras in and we look
at cameras and and people get cameras installed and then
they have no idea how to even access them. They
don't practice it. So I heard last night on a
podcast that the sheriff did that. He said they're not
even sure if the cameras right now are cloud based,
which was pretty surprising. But they are going to the companies.
The companies will be able to tell them how it's
set up, who has access and you know, whose email
address is attached to the to the account, et cetera.
So there's a lot of stuff like that going on.
Also with the geo fencing of the devices, and not
just the cell phones, if the affect had on an
Apple Watch or anything else, they're going to do. The
FBI is doing geo fencing the day before the event
happened and at around the same time and the night
that the that the offense occurred, and then they're going
to look for differentiation in there. From that point they're
going to expand out for days or even weeks in
advance to see if someone was casing the house or
anything along those lines. In my opinion, based on years
of experience and looking at this location, this isn't something
that someone just happened upon. I would be shocked if
that was in fact the case. I think maybe this
person met Nancy and just thought she was lovely, talked
to her and realized she was there alone, and who
knows what happened from there. So once they expand out
at different times of day or over the you know,
for the past week or so, they may come up
with devices that didn't belong in that area or people
they should in fact question. But there's just eighteen different
or maybe twenty five different things going on at once
right now. And the DNA that the sheriff also said
in a podcast he did late last night that they
have submitted DNA and they put a rush on it
and that usually takes five to ten days. But that
DNA if they're not if it's rapid DNA, and if
the person, if the offender is not in the system,
then they have to go to forensic genetic genealogy, which
is a whole nother can of worms and that is
not a quick process.
Speaker 1: So so far, we're learning an awful lot about the
fact that it's remote, it's dark, there are no street lights.
They don't want light pollution out in the desert. Her
pacemaker stopped, her phone, wallet and medicines were all still there.
This does not add up to a good outcome. Let's
hope and pray. But back to Marinalclumn.
Speaker 5: There are a number of reasons for that, and none
of them are good. And I'm not going to extrapolate
out on that right now. It's awful the fact that
an eighty four year old woman was ripped from her
bed between one and four am. I just cannot even
imagine what this family is going through. I mean it is.
This is the worst situation any of us could imagine
for a parent that we love.
Speaker 1: Fanni. Well, get Paul Morrow's comments about what he sees like.
Speaker 6: He's got his arms around this, He's got a lot
of people working it. You have the FEDS there as well,
and of course CBP because of a proximity to the border,
which is a possibility You'll have to admit. Let's break
out what he's talking about. The cameras. Most cameras system
these days at home. They don't pour into a computer locally,
they go into the cloud. So he's probably trying to
get to the company that administers all of that. Get
that stuff out of there. You hope that where it
all went. Sad fact is that a lot of people
put up cameras then forget about them. They don't even
realize they're not working after a long time. Let's hope
the cameras are working. As far as the phone goes,
we've all heard about that phone is still there. You
got to get into that phone to see if there's
some kind of odd communication something that jumps.
Speaker 1: Out at you.
Speaker 6: Phones are really really difficult these days. We remember about
ten twelve years ago, there was a big flurry of encryption.
It was kind of an arms race between Apple and Google,
who controlled ninety nine point nineer center in the market,
see who could encrypt their phones the most. They set
up systems so that even the companies cannot decrypt their phones.
Speaker 7: They did that.
Speaker 6: Purposely to ensure privacy. We remember it was James comyaboll
people in the San Bernardino terrorism case. He said, I
got the warrant Apple, you have to do it, Apple
said we can't do it. Ultimately, they had a jail
bak the phone. They had to hack their way in.
That's been the paradigm since these phones can be extremely
difficult to get into, and that's why they are going
to do everything they kind they get into that because
a lot of them are set that if you try
to brute force your way in, I just to say,
run millions of code possibilities, it wipes the fall.
Speaker 1: So again, we hope, pray that they're able to find
missus Guthrie. But been three days. Every day it gets worse.
I think I want you to think about the outcome.
Go to Washington. Let's find out what they're doing there.
Today the Congress voted, the House voted in favor of
funding the government, So everything but DHS has been funded,
and DHS has a carve out. They're going to have
ten days until February thirteenth to come up with a
solution about any sort of changes to be made at DHS,
and they're obviously looking for changes from ICE. The Democrats are.
There's a little bit of a montage of some of
the Democrats and their objections to funding ICE.
Speaker 8: We are not a community that supports terrorizing folks just
because of their immigration status, and US citizens who are
out there protesting. So I look forward to being a
solid NOVA.
Speaker 9: We shouldn't be giving DJs a penny, not tomorrow, not
the next day, not ever, without any type of concessions,
without any type of actional negotiation.
Speaker 5: Democrats are being asked to support ICE, and we're saying
we're not going to fund public executions.
Speaker 1: So you can see the HYPERBOLEUS is off the chart.
The sad part about all this is they may have
passion about the fact that they don't like ICE, but
they don't seem to know what's going on because ICE
has already been funded by Congress. We keep telling you this,
but the people in Congress don't don't seem to know that.
Here's Mark Theeson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, first of all, I've got bad news for
all those Democrats. ICE is funded through twenty twenty nine
because it was funded under the one big beautiful bill.
What they're taking hostage with the DHS funding is FEMA
and TSA, okay, and people are not gonna be very
happy when all of a sudden they can't get through
their they can't get through security checkpoints, or if there's
a disaster and there's no funding for the disaster management.
So they're not holding hostage funding for ICE. They're holding
hostage of ICE will be funded until the next president.
Second of all, the big problem they have is that
they're they're they're they're at risk of getting over their
skis on this because Americans are unhappy with the execution
of the policy. They didn't like they think he's Trump
has been too tough. They didn't like seeing two Americans killed,
even regardless of the circumstances. But they support the underlying policy.
Every poll shows that six and ten Americans support deportation,
they oppose shutting down the government over it, and nine
intens support deporting aliens with criminal records. So if Trump
can fix the execution and come across his with reasonable
compromises on that, then he wins because the American people
back the underlying policy. So Democrats seem to think that
Americans have turned against ICE, they've turned against deportation, they're
on their side for open borders.
Speaker 7: They're not.
Speaker 2: This Minnesota poll, so this is in Minnesota where the
where the shootings happened, fifty percent say that law enforcement
should cooperate with ice deportations only thirty six percent of
pose that's in Minnesota. So the sanctuary city policies are
very unpopular, whatever you want to call them. So the
Democrats are we're going to rally. Trump will be very
smart to turn this around on the Democrats and focus
on the lack of cooperation. Focus on the fact that
the reason a lot of these problems are happening is
because the sanctuary stays jurisdictions are not handing over aliens
with criminal records, child rapists, murderers, drug dealers, and all
the rest of it. Gang members. If he can refocus
the debate on that, then then he's got a winning hand.
Speaker 1: Well, it seems like there is a refocus. Tom Holman
has been there now a few days and things seem
to be much calmer. The execution of their efforts to
pick up illegal in Minnesota are still going on. They're
doing it in a much more quiet way, I guess
is what I was talking about a long time ago.
John Thune, the head of the US Senate, seems to
see the things are going better in Minnesota since Tom
Holman arrived.
Speaker 10: Tom Holman recently traveled to Minneapolis at the president's request
and his efforts have gone a long wait. One thing
he's trying to accomplish is increased cooperation between local law
enforcement and ICE. It's notable how much more peaceful things
have been in cities where local law enforcement has been
authorized to cooperate with ICE. It's time to bring an
end to the dangerous practice of local jurisdictions refusing cooperate
with federal law enforcement.
Speaker 1: It does seem that's the issue. Simply is this whole
business about not cooperating with local law enforcement and federal
law enforcement. Speaking of Washington, so the debate over whether
Bill and Hillary Clinton are going to come and testify
before the House Oversight Committee. Here's Virginia Fox, a Republican,
and Jim McGovern a Democrat.
Speaker 11: Committee will postpone further consideration of the contempt. However, should
there not be substantial compliance and agreement overnight, the committee
will return to continue the hearing on the contempt.
Speaker 7: I want to stay for the record that the Clintons
have been trying to come to an agreement on testifying
to the Oversight Committee with all irrelevant information, and what
Charmon Comer was promoting, in my opinion, has always been
an exercise in politics.
Speaker 1: To add to that, the President Trump has also said
today that he thinks it's time for the DOJ to
move on from Epstein. Well, you still have got Bill
and Hillary. They're negotiating, They're saying they're they back. They
made numerous offers, including voluntary interviews with congressional staffers in
New York City. They live in the suburbs of New York,
and that apparently was turned down. They want them to
show up at the in the House Oversight Committee in Washington,
d C. Now, I don't know if that's going to
change anything, but it certainly will bring Oh, it will
bring all the cameras and so the members of Congress
will be all excited about that. But the President said
it's time for the DOJ to move on from Epstein,
and I'm thinking not until the Clintons come forward and
say whatever they're going to say. And besides that, I
just I keep going back to They are now claiming
that even though the DOJ said they released every single
stitch of paper and all the videos and photos and
they did a terrible job at it, but they released everything,
and others are saying, no, there is that's only about
half of what the material is. There's much more materials
still in the hands of the DOJ. The President has
tried forty different ways to get the Epstein story buried.
He doesn't want this to continue, and I got news
for the President. It's going to continue. This story is
not going to die until there is full transparency. And
I don't think anybody trusts the DOJ to give them
full transparency. So those issues are still hanging out there.
So we've got the government's going to keep working, though
other than ten more days to figure out what to
do about ICE and DHS, even though it's already been
paid for. National elections President was talking about nationalizing elections.
Listen to this.
Speaker 12: The Republicans should say, we want to take over, we
should take over the voting, the voting, and at least
many fifteen places the Republicans are to nationalize the voting.
And we have states that are so crooked and the
county votes. We have states that I won that shoe
I didn't win. Now you're going to see something in
Georgia where they were able to get with the court
order of the ballots. You're going to see some interesting
things come out. But you know, like the twenty twenty election,
I won that election by so much.
Speaker 1: Well, that's not the way it was recorded. But I
understand there's a number of people that think that's the
way it went down. Then how did he win in
twenty twenty four if everything is so corrupt. I do
not want to federalize the elections. It would be much
easier to tamper with an election if it was centralized,
if it was all in Washington, d C. Then have
it fifty different fractionalized elections around the country. And again,
Donald Trump proved that he could win not only the states,
but the seven states that are the ones that you
have to win in order to become the next president.
So I don't want to see this go anywhere about
nationalizing the election, but that is it's just going to
stir up more questions about Again, the midterms are coming,
Republicans are going to have a tough time winning because
historically the party out of power in the White House
is the one that picks up more seats. And the
recent special elections the Democrats have been beating Republicans. Republicans
have more money than the Democrats. But don't stir this
up and get more questions about about the validity of elections.
I don't I don't want to see the president or
anybody else make people think if this election is valid
or not. I want you to go and vote and
hopefully have some faith in the fact that the people
running the elections are doing it properly. The DOJ is
asking a number of states to turn over their voting rules.
I'm opposed to that as well. Voting rules are as
your private information in it, and it should be kept
guarded by the various election officials in the fifty different states.
So I would love to see all this not change
from what we have right now. But we do have
a nice change. When it comes to trade, apparently we
have an agreement. The US and India have signed a
trade deal, according to Prime Minister Modi and President Trump.
The deal comes after the European Union and India has
signed a free trade agreement. Just recently. They agreed to
slash tariffs on most goods to zero. But the details
of the trade deal between the US and India are
still rather scant. It looks like that we have They
were at fifty percent tariff. It was reduced to twenty
five percent of the twenty five percent has been reduced
to eighteen. So somehow we still have an eighteen percent
tariff on products coming from India and the European Union
has zero tariff on products coming from India. Don't you
think India is going to be more interested in doing
business with the European Union these trade deals. The President
wants to try to bring jobs back to America and
have things made in America. But the problem is is
ever since Liberation Day last April, manufacturing jobs have been
losing every single month. Industrial contraction, not expansion, weakening demand
the manufacturing jobs. That the guess is is the hope
is I presume from the White House that they will
pick up once the factories are built. But you can't
just build a factory on a dime. So manufacturing here
in the US is declining, and I'm keeping at least
both eyes on it. Over two hundred thousand manufacturing jobs
have been lost since the peak back in two thousand
and twenty three. Peace talks, not trade talks, are going
to happen Friday. Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner are going
to be meeting. I believe they're going to Turkey to
meet with Iranian government leaders about some sort of peace
agreement between Iran and the US. I think Iran is
just playing the delay the game. That's what they've done
in the past. So we'll see what comes out of that.
But those talks are Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner are
going to be representing the United States on that. And
yesterday I played a little bit about.
Speaker 7: Some of the.
Speaker 1: Protests from the celebrities winning awards at the Emmy Awards.
What I did not play for, Yeah, Billy Eilish was
talking about the stolen land, and that's about the fact that, yes,
this was Indian land and people came in and had
Indian wars and lo and behold, people live on stolen lands.
So there's a tribe called the Tongva tribe that responded
to Billy Eilish because she had said that we are
all living on a stolen land. So she lives in Glendale,
which is a suburb of Los Angeles, and that apparently
was land that belonged to the Tongueva tribe, and they
put out a statement today saying that she lives on
their ancestral land. In the statements, the tribe said, Elish
has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property. We
do value the insists of the instance where public figures
provide visibility to the true history of this country. So
she hasn't contacted them, but she doesn't want us to
live on stolen land. But apparently I don't think she's
going to turn her She's got a mansion in Glendale, California,
and the tribe says, yeah, that was our land that
you're living on. No response from Billie Eilish. But did
you hear yesterday we had all these people with They
were dropping f bombs all over the place. They were
beating everything they could. But still I thought the FCC
was supposed to go after broadcast companies if you had
any sort of swear words. Well, just the opposite of that.
Jelly Roll did not swear, was not beated. But man,
I thought I was in church.
Speaker 13: Oh no, they're going to try to kick your all here,
So just let me try to get this out.
Speaker 11: First of all, Jesus, I hear you, and I'm listening.
Speaker 6: Lord.
Speaker 11: I am listening Lord.
Speaker 13: I believe that music had the power to change my life,
and God had the power to change my life. And
I want to tell y'all right now, Jesus is for everybody.
Jesus is not home by one political party. Jesus is
not home by no music label. Jesus is Jesus, and
anybody can have a relationship with him.
Speaker 12: I love you, Lord.
Speaker 1: Well, if he didn't make it to church the other day,
there's your there's this man, sound like a preacher to me,
and he's lost like a couple hundred pounds. He's just
a shell of himself. Now the tattoos are still there,
and he's very popular in country music, so so good
for him. But otherwise, meantime, the Billie Eilish has to
talk to the Indian tribe about getting that land back
to them.
Speaker 7: She's not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: Well, Wall Street today, let's take a look at that.
We started off kind of flat, and then we took
a dip, pretty good sized dip, and then tried to
rally back in the final hour of trading, but it
wasn't good enough. The Dow finished down one hundred and
sixty six to close it forty nine thousand and two,
forty SMP down fifty eight NASDAK down three hundred and
thirty six. Gold up three hundred and seventeen dollars to
forty nine seventy oil up almost two dollars to just
under sixty four dollars now for one barrel of oil.
So that's it for today. Thank you for coming by.
We will try this again tomorrow. I hope to see
you then
