Speaker 1: And here we are. How are you welcome to the
Big Podcast at Friday. Today is the eleventh day of July,
year of our or twenty twenty five. My name is
Tom Sullivan. So we've got I want to get some
of the phone calls in that we've had in the
last week, maybe some emails as well. We've got trying
to keep up on the tariffs. They keep changing, they
keep changing. And I also have a story about the
irs and churches to get to. But let's start to
day with the story out of California. Where is Southern
California just hopeless? Should we just give up on so Cal?
Because of all the riots that they had in Los Angeles?
And now this is a federal immigration raid on a
couple of farms there, marijuana farms their own they're run
by the same company, Cannabis Farms, and one is in
cama Rio, the other one in the same area. It's
northwest of Los Angeles by about forty five minutes. Beautiful
country and they have gorgeous farm country. I used to
be a lot of lettuce farms, but apparently now they're
growing marijuana out there. And the ICE found out that
a lot of the people that were working there were
working were illegals, and so the story starts off with
them going to a judge and getting a warrant and
they go out there because they've got it's a big
area and they've so they've got a bunch of agents
and they zoom in on them. And as they did this,
there are people that are following ICE and keeping track
of everything online and they're gathering protesters. And the protesters
are not just people standing there with signs. These are
people that are violent. They are one guy, there's a
video of him from a local La La television station
helicopter of a guy turning around with a gun and
shooting at the agents and then running off. They're looking
for the guy. A lot of them took rocks and
were throwing rocks at the agents, breaking the windows of
the vans and cars and everything else. So it became
a very violent operation. And the La Times it has
a story today that's very bizarre because they are saying,
let me read it to you. It says immigration raid
at cannabis farm leads to violence in Camerio. So they're
blaming ICE for the violence that the raid led to violence.
It no, it's not the people that are doing the violence.
It's not their fault. Nope, it is the fault of ICE.
And there's I told you yesterday about some of the
people that were on MSNBC talking about they're kidnapping people. No,
they're arresting them. That's what police do. It's not called kidnapping.
It's a whole different operation. And that they're putting them
in concentration camps. No, they're putting them in detention cells, jails.
That's what people who get arrested, that's where they go.
But the rhetoric on this is really ramping up. So
apparently a lot of people online were going after Gavin
Newsom going what are you doing? What are you doing?
Why aren't you doing something? So he came back and
basically blamed Ice as well, essentially for the violence. And
that's where they are. That's where the Democrats, that's for
Gavin Newsom, that's for southern California is right now. And
you're going, I would think not all Democrats. I want
to play something for you that you will not believe.
I hope you're sitting down, especially if you're driving. But
John Kerry, yes, the former Secretary of State Senator he
is not the only Democrat that is basically shaking his head.
Here's what John Kerry had to say about the border crisis.
Speaker 2: You have to define your nation. You have to have
a border that means something. And there's a reason we
have passports. There's a reason we have visas, we have
a system, and the president. I wish President Biden had
been heard more often saying I'm going to enforce the law.
How he was right. The problem is we all should
have been right.
Speaker 1: Now that was John Kerry. I'll say it again. I
got the script in front of me. He said, you're
going to define your nation. You have to have a
border that means something, and there's a reason we have passports.
There's a reason we have visas, we have a system,
and the president. I wish President Biden had been heard
more often saying I'm going to enforce the law. He
was right. The problem is we all should have been right.
I don't understand that last sentence, and I don't ever
hear I never heard President Biden saying he was going
to enforce the law. In fact, if anything, he flaunted it.
So John Kerry is just one Democrat that is standing
up and saying wait a minute. We have a nation,
and nations have borders, and that's why we have rules
and laws and immigration laws. And yet a lot of
the Democrats, like Gavin Newsom's he's so weak that he
is immediately jumping on the side of protecting, just like
Karen Bess, protecting the illegals and the criminal illegals. I mean,
that's where they want to hang their hat. That's the
hill they want to climb. John Fetterman, also the Pennsylvania
senator Democrat, weighed.
Speaker 3: In again, I.
Speaker 4: Of course I'm not a part of that, and I
would never I would never support if anyone is trying
to block, you know, things like that, and that's actually
dangerous for everybody involved on things. And again for me,
as a Democrat pro immigration, it's like, absolutely, we should
just be focusing on rounding up all the criminals and
deport them, and we need to make sure our border
is secure. And I do believe, and I've consistently believed
that we should also protect the dreamers and workers that
are in very important parts. But for me, my views
on immigration really haven't changed. But now I don't think
our party did a great job on the border. But
before and then I think making it more secure and
to port all the criminals and to find the appropriate
balance between acknowledging the important contributions that our migrant workers contribute.
And I think that's what's entirely appropriate. And now I'd
like to remind everybody calling for to abolish ICE is
insane and politically, that's just that's ridiculous. You know, ICE
is necessary. And as long as they continue to round
up all of the criminals, I mean, they're doing an
important job if that's what they're doing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, these in favor of ICE, and these in
favor of rounding up the criminals. There's a couple of
other facts behind this. These two cannabis farms in southern
California that were that were rated by ICE. Like I said,
one man fired a gun at the ICE police. The
FBI is offering a fifty thousand dollars reward for his arrest.
They found they they obviously had intelligence. Somebody told them
there's a bunch of people there that are illegals working
on this farm. And they're not a little farm. These
are big, you know. It looked like I don't know
from a camera distance, maybe one thousand acres, but they
had ten people that they rounded up that were under
the age of eighteen. They're miners, and eight of those
were unaccompanied miners. Two of them, yeah, their parents were somewhere.
But at the same time, it breaks bread. Were they
who were these Who were these kids, especially the eight
that they were unaccompanied? Are they Are they victims of trafficking?
Are they slave labors that were again the cartel sold
them off for slavery. They're working in the hot sun
of California growing marijuana. The trafficking problem is a big problem.
So now they've got ten miners and eight of which
have unaccompanied from any adults. The employer. What about the employer? Why?
I've seen a couple of people say, why aren't they
cracking down on the employers. I think they should. I
think they should. But all these people that are showing up,
and again it's a you know, one hundred people is
not the but a small fraction of the people the
population of southern California. But is this the same crowd
that they want to protect the illegals, and they want
to protect the criminal illegals, and they're against the police
in this case ice Is this the same crowd that
is supporting Luigi Maggioni, saying, well, he killed an insurance executive,
so we feel bad for him. It seems like these
people have a screw loose somewhere. I don't understand what's
going on with all of this. Let's see who else
do we have to oh Byron York as a couple
of observations as well.
Speaker 5: The story actually started with a report in Axios where
they talked to nine House Democrats about what they were
hearing from their constituents when they went to town halls
and things like that, and what they were hearing was
that their constituents were very angry. They wanted democrats. They
felt democrats had not been aggressive enough in resisting the
Trump administration, especially on the issue of immigration and ice enforcement.
They wanted democrats to break the rules, to fight dirty,
and not be afraid to get hurt, because bloodshed be
necessary to get people's attention.
Speaker 6: So this is this is a lot of anger.
Speaker 5: That's going on out there, and we have seen we've
seen protests, We've seen protests that turn violent, and then
we've seen actual violent attacks like we saw against the
ice facility in Prairieville, Texas a little while ago. An
actual coordinated attack with AR fifteen's and everything. So you know,
is Antifa the milicent wing of the Democratic Party. Democrats
would of course say no, but it is true. I
think that the interests of Antifa and the Democratic Party
in protesting the Trump administration and ICE are pretty much
aligned at this point.
Speaker 1: Yes they are. And one particular Democrat who seems to
I don't know what his problem is. He he got
up and gave a speech all night long for some
reason that nobody heard. I'm talking about Corey Booker, the
senator from New Jersey, and he does some of the weirdest,
goofiest stuff, and this is him talking about how upset
he is about the fact that these illegals are being arrested.
Speaker 7: This is a moment in American history where people are
going to know where did you stand? And so I'm
going to continue to fight. I don't care if this
president calls me out every day, mean tweets me, threatens me.
I don't care, throw me in jail, do what you
have to do. I'm going to continue to stand up
what's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's he's gone off the rails. I don't
know what's wrong with Corey Booker. But yeah, people will
remember where you stood. And the heavy majority of people
in this country are for deportation of illegals, especially the criminals.
But again the majority in the polls show that the
majority still wants all illegals deported. So Corey Booker, he's
climbing the hill to stand on ease for the illegals.
All right, we'll remember that. By your responded to that
weird comment.
Speaker 5: Well, first, it tells me that Corey Booker would like
to run for president. But the second thing, as far
as the Democratic Party is concerned, you do have a division,
I think between Democrats who want to pursue kind of
an old style civil rights style, nonviolent resistance to the
Trump administration, where they do sit ins, they get arrested,
that sort of thing. But clearly, what you're seeing now
you just saw it. You were reporting earlier about the
violence at the cannabis facility in California. What you're seeing
is Democrats and groups aligned with Democrats who want to
actually get violent. This is not nonviolent resistance. This is
actual violence. And when you use the word fight, we've
talked about that in many different contexts. You're usually talking
about politics. Oh, we want to fight this bill. We
want to fight this executive order. But there are some
now who want a physical fight.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He mentioned the old style civil rights movement. That
was what made Martin Luther King Jr. So Famous was
he was the non violent protester. He led protests that
were nonviolent. Hugh was Carmichael, the Black Panthers, and also
Malcolm X. That's wrong, we need to use violence. So
this has been brought up before. When you have social disarray,
the legal side of all of this. Jonathan Turley weighs in, all.
Speaker 8: Right, well, there's no outrageous pattern of Democratic leaders fueling
the rage here and for political purposes. They've essentially declared
this open season on ice officers. And what do you
think is going to happen. What you're going to see
is what we just saw. People feel they have a
license to engage in violence. You have apps that are
tracking ice officers to try to create these barriers these protests,
and many of them are turning violent, and eventually these
democratic leaders are going to have to own this.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: Nusham is saying that this was outrageous operation when they
found a large number of unaccompanied miners who may have
been used for labor. And you know, this is a
bill that's coming due for many Democrats as we see
the extent of the abuse of not just undocumented persons
but miners. Of course, that's nothing new. We've seen how
the media tends to lionize violent protests. They make excuses,
they dismiss the so called peaceful protest narrative. This was
a raid on a cannabis farm that apparently had a
significant number of undocumented persons and unaccompanied children. And instead
of saying, wow, that is what the feds are supposed
to do, you have this pylon and you're right, this
is getting out of control and it will get worse
as long. How long is this rhetoric, this reckless rhetoric
is coming from the left.
Speaker 1: And late this afternoon got word that Karen Bass, the
mayor of Los Angeles. LA Times is reporting that Karen
Bass is announced a plan to provide direct cash assistance
to people who have been affected by the Trump administration's
immigration raids. The aid will be distributed using cash cards
with a couple hundred dollars on them, which should be
available in about a week. She said, you have people
who don't want to leave their homes who are not
going to work and they are in need of cash.
She spoke about a family she met who who needed
two incomes to afford their rent after one of the
bread winners was detained in an immigration raid. She says
the family is concerned that they may face a fviction.
So this is now getting there, dipping into the taxpayer's
pockets in the city of Los Angeles. And I know
LA is a very Hispanic city, but that doesn't mean
that they are pro illegals, and it certainly doesn't mean
that they're pro criminal illegals. So the people that are
in hiding, I said this yesterday. If I was wanted
by the police, if I was in this country illegally
or any country, and I had done something illegal, and
I knew the police would if I got stopped, I
was going to be brought to jail, I would hide too.
So if you're not an illegal, and I've even heard
stories about the fact that there's a lot of people
in Los Angeles that are carrying their passports with them.
They're that yes, they're worried, but if you are here legally,
there's nothing for you to worry about, and you don't
need to hide in your house, and the city of
Los Angeles has decided to reach into the taxpayer's pockets
and say, you're going to pay these people money. She
is on the side, I presume for political purposes. Like
I said, she's the mayor of a city that is heavy, heavy,
heavy Hispanic and so she's got to look like she's
some sort of heroine for them. It's just bizarre that
they're going to hand out money. Now, how long will
that go on? How long is she going to keep
them hidden? Can she be charged with what do you
call that? When you hide a fugitive, aiding and a
betting hiding a fugitive. That's what people that are in
the country illegally technically are. All right, So we've got that.
There's another item out that is I've got a problem
with the IRS apparently is going to change the rule
on churches and the fact that, well it really comes
down to the irs. God. Internal Revenue Code has for
a very long time had a provision in there that
if you want to be a nonprofit, if you're a
nonprofit organization, you're the Red Cross, you're the Boy Scouts,
you're the Lutheran Church. You cannot be political. You can't
take political positions if you want to be a nonprofit.
So apparently the IRS is now going to bend those rules.
The President ran on getting rid of what's called the
Johnson Amendment. It goes back to Lyndon Johnson. It's the
separation of church and state. And I know it's not
in the Constitution, it's in the federalist papers. But the
idea behind the Johnson Amendment is you'll lose your tax
exempt status if you become political. The farce about this
is it depends upon what church you're talking about. Reverend
Jesse Jackson very political man, but he was the head
of a church, and so I used to proclaim all
the time, why don't they take the nonprofit status away
from his church? Same with Reverend Al Sharpton. He's very political,
but they don't apply it to them. But if you've
got your local neighborhood church and they start talking about
who they want for mayor or who they want for dogcatcher,
then they violate the nonprofit rules in the Internal Revenue Code. Well,
here's President Trump, Candidate Trump talking about what he wanted
to do regarding the political messaging coming from.
Speaker 9: Churches among those freedoms is the right to worship according
to our own beliefs. That is why I will get
rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment. Allow our
representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution.
Speaker 1: I will do that. Remember, oh, I don't like this.
I really don't like this at all. I do not
want church's nonprofits to be political. Can't we go to
church without having to we face politics and everything else
in our life. Jonathan Morris a former Catholic priest. He's
trying to have it both ways. Here's what Father Morris
had to say.
Speaker 6: Yeah, with caveats.
Speaker 10: Because when I first heard President Trump talk about this,
I was a little skeptical. I said, I don't want
my pastor to be endorsing candidates in church.
Speaker 6: I would leave.
Speaker 10: But she's been amazingly consistent on this, and it makes
sense to me now because what is the bigger fear
that we should have as Christians or people of religion
that our religions get involved with politics, or that the
government get in religion and telling us what we can
and cannot say in church. And that has been President
Trump's concern. He says, I don't want the government to
be going into an evangelical church or a Catholic church
and saying stop talking about abortion, for example, stop telling
people how to vote. It's very much in line with
the founding Father's concern about the relationship between church and state.
They weren't concerned that churches were going to get involved
in politics. They were concerned that the government was going
to mandate a national religion or was going to prohibit
the free exercise of religion. So I think, yes, it's
going to be up to every church. And I don't
think it's a good idea to be in endorsing candidates
personally as a church, But that's up to a church.
And I like the fact now that government cannot step
in and say no, it's you can't talk about this
inside your four walls.
Speaker 6: What ther The argument that the I R.
Speaker 10: S Has now made is saying we want to get
rid of the amen of the Johnson Amendment. Is talking
in a church a little bit like talking in your
own home. People should be able to talk about politics
and say this is who we should vote for.
Speaker 6: A church is a community, it's a family as well.
Speaker 10: And IRS is now saying we as a government are
not going to bring harm to you as a church
just because you've decided to endorse it. I think it's
just a healthier for the church to be talking about
policy about principles, right because as soon as you endorse
a person, that person can change.
Speaker 6: And in my opinion.
Speaker 10: It's healthier for a church to just talk about the Bible.
This endorsing of candadates could go both ways. It could
be liberal churches or conservative churches. But I think the
principle that President Trump is getting is hitting on here
is let's not allow government to tell churches what they
can do.
Speaker 1: Well. I agree with that. I don't want the government
to tell churches what to do, and that's basically the
way it works right now. And Father Morris, maybe he's
a little too young, but the big deal. When John F.
Kennedy was running for president, there was a hullabaloo about
the fact that if you elect the Catholic you know
what's going to happen. The pope is going to run
the government of the United States. That was one of
the fears. It did not come up with Joe Biden,
the second Catholic president, but it did back in nineteen
sixty and it just seems and Father Morris was talking
about a principle. Fine, the churches can talk about principles,
but when you start talking about and he kind of
stumbled over policy or people. I'm sorry, you're dancing in
an area that is fraught with all kinds of problems,
and I'm sorry. I want to go to church to
have the minister, the priest, the rabbi help me save
my soul. I'm not there to figure out. I don't
want them to tell me who to vote for or
what policy to be for or against. So I'm totally
against this. But it looks like this is what going
to happen, and I wish it wasn't. Let me just
put it that way. Layoff announcements coming out today. Apparently
the State Department Secretary of State Marco Rubio announcing and
you would have thought this was the end of the world.
State Department announced today that they are laying off one thousand,
three hundred people. I feel sorry for those one thousand,
three hundred people, the State Department employees, and the media
go back to the media is making headlines out of
oh my gosh, they're laying off thirteen hundred people. Oh
my gosh, This is so terrible. They employ eighty thousand people,
so they're laying off one thousand, three hundred out of
eighty thousand, two hundred and fourteen people. And I look
around and I looked up some corporate layoffs that I remember.
Microsoft just last week announced they're laying off nine thousand people.
That's just their latest round. Back in May, they laid
off six thousand, fifteen thousand people. Ups twenty thousand layoffs,
Dell Computer twelve thousand, Intel, ten thousand, Audi seventy five hundred.
So far this year, a little more than halfway through
the year announcements by big corporations, one hundred and fifty
four thousand people have been laid off. We do the
jobs report every Friday or every Thursday, and the employment
numbers have been fairly steady. So yes, are people losing
their jobs. Yes? Do other people then get those people
go get other jobs? Yes, but you would think the
end of the world because the State Department's laying off
thirteen undred people out of eighty thousand. Also in business,
I don't know what the latest is on Canada other
than the president is threatening to thirty five percent tariff
on Canada. They did have another tax that they were
going to lay on American corporation's digital corporate like Google
and Microsoft, notes that they rescinded that the president's talking
about a instead of a ten percent flat base tariff
on all countries, he's talking fifteen to twenty percent now.
So nothing is clear and nothing everything keeps changing. Nobody
can can plan their businesses. So he literally came out today,
the President did and said, well, the tariffs are being
well received. The stock markets that are new record high.
Well not today, but yes, yeah, ben up at a
record high. You don't measure tariffs by the stock market.
So it's at Brazil, I said yesterday, said they were
talking about our two hundred percent tariff. No, it's only
a fifty percent tariff. Five oho, And we don't have
a deficit trade deficit. We have a trade surplus with Brazil.
What bothers me about Brazil is the President is using
this as a political cudgel. This has nothing to do
with trade, it has nothing to do with economics. He's
mad because the courts went after the former head of Brazil, Bolsonaro,
and Donald Trump likes Bolsonaro, so he's mad at them.
So be prepared because the number one country in the
world for coffee is Brazil, so a standby for your
cup of Joe to be more expensive. I think I
really do not like having one person just sit behind
his desk and decide, well, I think I'll put this
tariff on that person, and I'll try this terriff on
another person. It's all over the map. Congress is the
one who has the authority in the Constitution regarding tariffs.
They let it go to the executive. They should take
it back. In my humble opinion, tariffs should be the
purview of the United States Congress. I know they don't
do anything, but I don't like one person, this person,
or any other person having the ability to assess all
these tariffs out there. Let's get some phone calls from
the week in before we say happy weekend. Here's some.
Here's a phone call from William that came in this weekless. Listen.
Speaker 6: Hi, my name is William.
Speaker 7: I wanted to put forward the idea that what.
Speaker 3: If Jeff Steen is not even dead?
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it.
Speaker 11: They cut out the one minute of the video what
he was saying, his death and everything, so nobody knows
what happens here. I've never seen his body in a
cat if you I mean, what if he isn't even dead,
you know, just because you've never done anything like this before.
Alf Proud is the infant.
Speaker 12: I don't think they could do it.
Speaker 1: Just something I was thinking about. Now you're not the
only one thinking about it in the news today. Alan Dershowitz,
Remember he was accused of being one of the men
that was at Jeffrey Epstein's place, and he threw a
fit through all kinds of lawsuits and basically got the
documents to say that somebody mixed him up with somebody else,
he says, but he said today, he says, so because
of my efforts to clear my name, I've seen the documents,
I've seen the list. I know who's on the list.
I know names of people on the list. And I'm
prohibited by a judge from telling you who's on the
Jeffrey Epstein list. So this is the list that Pam
Bondi said she had on her desk, and now all
of a sudden she says there isn't a list. Then,
on top of that, Dan Bongino, who was very much
into the conspiracy of they're hiding, they're hiding. They're hiding
the list of who was playing around with Jeffrey Epstein
and when he was doing a radio show. Now he's
the number two guy at the FBI. This afternoon, Bongino
is the reporting is is that he's thinking of stepping
down quitting the FBI because of the position this put
him in regarding the list of Jeffrey Epstein. So the
Epstein story isn't over, and it's not going to be
over unless the government really comes forward with with documents.
Let's see who was Here's salty yep Safty checked in.
Let's listen to what he has to say.
Speaker 13: Hey, Tom, it's salty. I'm just checking in, buddy. I
just wanted to say thanks. I know what did that before,
But you know, you make these subjects so easy to understand,
and you have the different people on and it's just
it gets beyond the noise. And I just want to
say thanks for doing your podcast. And I sure like
hearing that Gordon Chang, fellow boy, he's smart, he understands
China makes it easier to understand a little bit better.
But I hope you're doing all right, my friend. And
I mean I do miss calling into your show. But
at least I can leave you a message and let
you know I'm okay, and that don't uh last time
I called. That probably is too personal talking about my
procedure and all that stuff. So I won't bother with
them details. But we'll see you later.
Speaker 1: Yes, Salty called a couple of days before. I was
talking about a colonoscopy and and I hope he has
it and I hope he does well. I have to
have every five years. I had two uncles die from
calling cancer years ago, so that means I am on
the list. Every five years. I've got to go in
and have a colonoscopy. And people are all nervous about it,
but I'm going. Good for you, Salty, God bless you man.
Get in there and get that test because it's it's
it's I know, but it's it's a silent killer. There
are no symptoms until it's too late. So no, I've
I've been five years. I got to go in I
think next month, sometime next month and have have a colonoscopy.
And it's it's a The worst part about a colonoscopy
is you've got to drink like this terrible prep. It
tastes like gasoline tar, but the procedure itself is a
piece of cake, so salty. I hope you're well and
thank you for checking in. Darla. Also like Gordon Chang's interview.
Speaker 12: Hi, Tom, this is Darla. I just listened to today's
podcast and I wanted you to know that I really
really enjoyed your conversation with Gordon Chang. It was very
interesting and very informative. So I just wanted to say thanks.
Speaker 1: Well, you're very welcome. Eric who calls the program, we
would call the program. Where's he from? I think San Francisco,
originally from Russia? And he doesn't understand the bargaining to
get out of the death penalty on that case of
the four students that were murdered in Idaho.
Speaker 14: The reason why the prosecute is going for please give
and lesser charges because the prosecutors they're incapable to do
the jury trial.
Speaker 3: Properly.
Speaker 14: They don't know, they're not sure about themselves. They just guillmakers,
like on a flea market. They're just you know, exchanging
years with the defense. They're trading years. I'm dead people.
I mean, if you killed four people in full blood,
what else could be for the dead teennalogy, namely another
crime which will deserve death tenalty. And then in Washington
or Idaho, they just incapable to do the proper judy
trial as used to be for death penalty. They don't
know how to do it. They know how he is
gone from America.
Speaker 1: Bye bye. I'm right there with you, Eric. I mean,
if stabbing four innocent people to death brutally killing them
doesn't qualify for the death penalty, I don't know what does.
And here's a guy who has a Jackie Gleason joke,
and he sounds like he doesn't like Donald Trump.
Speaker 14: Hi, Tom, did you hear what Jackie Gleason of the
Hobbymoters said about Donald Trump?
Speaker 13: He's a blaber mouth.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that means either. First, yes, I
do know who Jackie Gleason was, But Jackie Gleason's been
dead for fifty years or so, hasn't he, So I
don't know. Anyway, he says that Jackie Gleason says Trump's
a blabbermouth. And finally, let's get some Laurie the comment line. Lady,
she's got a couple of calls here. What's this one is?
This is on the TSA allowing you to keep your
shoes on.
Speaker 3: Finally, we don't have to take our shoes off at
the airport. I've never seen any contraband retrieved from shoes.
I have, however, seen some feet that could be classified
as first degree felonies.
Speaker 1: Boy, isn't that the truth? I mean, there's been the
idea of walking along barefoot with a thousand people ahead
of you walking on the same area in their bare feet. Yeah,
I'm glad they changed that roll, although I don't understand
the difference between pre check anymore and the regular lines,
because that was why I had PreCheck, so I didn't
have to take my shoes off. And here's Laurie with
some recommendations about your dress at the office.
Speaker 3: Evidently, young professional men and women, we're never told that
low cleavage, short shorts, and bear midrifs are not a
good idea for officewar So I'd like to offer this suggestion.
If your grandmother would ask you, what in the world
are you wearing? Go change?
Speaker 1: Well, that's probably good advice. But I've read a let
of people come in and display who they really are,
makes it more interesting in the office. Let's see one
more from Laurie.
Speaker 3: The Trump administration in the state of California are going
to court over Title nine. You can solve this very
easily out of court. If you have a Y chromosome,
you compete against people with Y chromosomes. If you don't
have a Y chromosome, you compete with people who only
have X chromosomes.
Speaker 1: See, she makes it so simple. It's just a simple
answer to it's obvious, it's common sense. But Laurie, the
comment line, lady always has good common sense. All right,
let's wrap this up for the week. No record on
Wall Street today. Dow Jones Industrials down two hundred and
seventy nine, the Dow at forty four thousand and three
seventy one, SMP down twenty, Nasdaq is down forty five,
so not much going on there. The price of gold, oh,
it was up forty two dollars today to thirty three
sixty eight, and oil up over two dollars now just
under sixty nine dollars for a barrel of oil. So
that's it for today. Thank you for coming by, having
yourself a wonderful weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday.
