Speaker 1: And hello, Hi, how are you? Welcome one and all
Speaker 1: to the Big Podcast on this Tuesday. Today is the
Speaker 1: seventh day of October, year of our Ward, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: My name is Tom Sullivan. And as we get this
Speaker 1: day underway, the seventh of October is the second anniversary
Speaker 1: of the barbaric massacre on the people of Israel and
Speaker 1: in their homes. It was a Saturday morning and here
Speaker 1: it comes the Hamas fighters, one thousand, two hundred people
Speaker 1: in their homes. And there were others at a at
Speaker 1: a at a concert, a bunch of young people there.
Speaker 1: So this is this is their nine to eleven and
Speaker 1: no question about it. And so it's also sad but
Speaker 1: hopeful that the talks to get the forty eight remaining hostages,
Speaker 1: some dead, some alive after two years to get them released.
Speaker 1: So we hope and pray that that actually takes place.
Speaker 1: We have we have a lot to go over. We
Speaker 1: can we can, I guess start with what's going on
Speaker 1: with the with the shutdown, because it's starting to have
Speaker 1: an impact. I was I got an alert last night
Speaker 1: from I follow a couple of the LA stations, LA
Speaker 1: television stations, and I got messages last night that they
Speaker 1: were going to be shutting down Burbank Airport, at least
Speaker 1: the control tower. And Burbank may sound like a joke,
Speaker 1: but Johnny Carson used to make jokes about beautiful downtown Burbank.
Speaker 1: But Burbank has a great airport. It's not a great,
Speaker 1: big airport, but it's if you don't want to have
Speaker 1: to hassle with Los Angeles International LAX, Burbank's great at
Speaker 1: the small airport, you don't have to walk miles anyway.
Speaker 1: It's the second largest airport in Los Angeles, fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: passengers a day. And so last night at four fifteen
Speaker 1: pm Pacific time, they had controllers, air traffic controllers who
Speaker 1: had called in sick to the point where they did
Speaker 1: not have enough air traffic controllers to staff the control
Speaker 1: tower at Burbank Airport last night, so they closed it
Speaker 1: down from four point fifteen pm to ten pm, which
Speaker 1: at that point there's I don't know if there's any
Speaker 1: flights coming or going. So basically four p fifteen they
Speaker 1: shut it down. And this is a direct repercussion of
Speaker 1: the shutdown of the government, because the air traffic controllers
Speaker 1: are not getting paid, and so if they're not getting paid.
Speaker 1: They're going wait a minute, they're probably, like a lot
Speaker 1: of people in this country, they're probably living paycheck to
Speaker 1: paycheck or a good portion of it, and so how
Speaker 1: are they going to pay their rent, pay their mortgage,
Speaker 1: buy groceries? And if they're not getting to paycheck, I mean,
Speaker 1: will they get one later? Probably, Although there was some
Speaker 1: news out of the White Eyes yesterday that they were
Speaker 1: taking a look at maybe not paying the furloughed federal
Speaker 1: employees their back pay. I think I think they will.
Speaker 1: They always have in the past. But in the meantime,
Speaker 1: how do you pay your bills? And so what happens
Speaker 1: is air traffic controllers uh TSA officers, other people that
Speaker 1: are federal employees. Guess what they're doing. They're going out
Speaker 1: and getting part time jobs just so they can get
Speaker 1: some money to pay their bills. So Sean Duffy, the
Speaker 1: Secretary of Transportation, waited on this.
Speaker 2: I want people when they travel, to get to where
Speaker 2: they're going. So if we don't have controllers, we're going
Speaker 2: to make sure the airspace is safe. So what we
Speaker 2: do is we'll slow traffic, will shut down traffic. And
Speaker 2: that's what you saw in Burbank we saw, you know,
Speaker 2: significant delays because controllers weren't there.
Speaker 1: So that was last night and again this morning. He
Speaker 1: was a Secretary, Sean Duffy was at Newark Airport and
Speaker 1: held a news company.
Speaker 2: I want to see your flight not be delayed. I
Speaker 2: don't want you don't I don't want you to cancel,
Speaker 2: but our priorities are safety, and so if we have
Speaker 2: a additional sick calls, we will reduce the flow consistent
Speaker 2: with a rate that's safe for the American people.
Speaker 1: Bill above over at CNBC, who covers transportation. This is
Speaker 1: his observation of what's going on.
Speaker 3: Depends on the airport, depends on the time, and depends
Speaker 3: on your definition of major. We didn't hear about many
Speaker 3: delays until yesterday, and that's when the Secretary of Transportation,
Speaker 3: Sean Duffy, held a press conference in Newark and he said,
Speaker 3: we're seeing a slight uptick and sick calls. There were
Speaker 3: delays yesterday in Denver and Newark. The Burbank tower was
Speaker 3: briefly unmanned, so they had to cancel in delay flights
Speaker 3: at that airport. But it's emblematic of a fragile air
Speaker 3: traffic control system. We reached out by the way to
Speaker 3: the Air Traffic Controllers Union regarding the staffing issues the
Speaker 3: company or the union set in response. It is normal
Speaker 3: for a few air traffic controllers to call in sick
Speaker 3: on any given day, and this is the latest example
Speaker 3: of how fragile our aviation system is. In the midst
Speaker 3: of a national source shortage of these critical safety professionals,
Speaker 3: they go on to say a number of other things,
Speaker 3: pretty much what you would expect. Let's get this resolved
Speaker 3: in Washington. Bottom line is this. The longer this goes,
Speaker 3: the greater the likelihood is that you will see more
Speaker 3: air traffic controllers or TSA agents others not coming into
Speaker 3: their job or calling in sick if they're going without pay.
Speaker 3: The longer it goes, the more likely it is that
Speaker 3: you will see fewer people reporting to work.
Speaker 1: But now the question is how many other airports are
Speaker 1: going to do the same thing, how many other air
Speaker 1: traffic control facilities people are The controllers are obviously aware
Speaker 1: of what happened at Burbank last night, So I dialed
Speaker 1: up one of my trustee flight trackers and I tuned
Speaker 1: into air traffic control at Burbank. There is a technique
Speaker 1: that you learn when you are when you start flying,
Speaker 1: and primarily it's used at airports, small airports, little airports
Speaker 1: that don't have a control tower, not all. In fact,
Speaker 1: most air most airports do not have a control tower.
Speaker 1: They only have them in the medium in large cities.
Speaker 1: So in the smaller cities and smaller airports, there was
Speaker 1: a radio procedure where you basically have dialogue that says
Speaker 1: where you are, what you're doing, and everybody, all the
Speaker 1: other pilots know and listen and respond, and it's a
Speaker 1: it's a radio communication.
Speaker 4: And it was.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it was it was humorous,
Speaker 1: but I thought it was kind of almost kind of
Speaker 1: cute because here are these pilots from major airlines that
Speaker 1: are flying in and out of Burbank last night, and
Speaker 1: they had to be very separated, I mean way way
Speaker 1: way separated before they could move anywhere at the airport,
Speaker 1: and they reverted back to what they learned when they
Speaker 1: were young pilots. So it was it was good to
Speaker 1: see the system work, but it really slowed down everything,
Speaker 1: and the airlines obviously are just canceling a lot of
Speaker 1: flights that would go into or out of an airport
Speaker 1: without a control tower. So let's see if this spreads.
Speaker 1: I'm betting on it will. So we're in the day
Speaker 1: seven of the government shutdown, and it doesn't look like
Speaker 1: that's going to turn around anytime soon. Tom Cotton, the
Speaker 1: Senator from Alabama, was talking about not only the shutdown,
Speaker 1: the fight between everybody's pointing fingers at each other. But
Speaker 1: there's a big event coming up on October eighteenth. That
Speaker 1: may be why Chuck Schumer is holding out.
Speaker 5: We've seen it now for months in the Senate. Chuck
Speaker 5: Schumer is scared first of Alexandra Ocasio Cortez and second
Speaker 5: of his radical left wing base. That's why we're in
Speaker 5: this Schumer shutdown. Chuck Schumer knows better. For the four
Speaker 5: years he ran the Senate, he put thirteen bills just
Speaker 5: like this one on the floor, short term funding bills
Speaker 5: to allow the parties to continue to negotiate. He voted
Speaker 5: for all thirteen of them. Of course, now he refuses
Speaker 5: to vote for them because he's scared of his own
Speaker 5: political base, and particularly he's scared this big left wing
Speaker 5: protest in Washington, c coming next Saturday, October eighteenth, and
Speaker 5: apparently is willing to shut down nutritional programs for young
Speaker 5: children and pay for our troops so he can get
Speaker 5: beyond that protest on October eighteenth and not face any blowback.
Speaker 5: It's outrageous political gamesmanship.
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on your calendar for October eighteenth.
Speaker 1: I don't know what this big event is, but apparently
Speaker 1: far left organizations are going to gather in Washington. That's
Speaker 1: the weekend after this next so that apparently, at least
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton's theory is that Juck Schumer is afraid of
Speaker 1: the far left. So on top of the government shutdown,
Speaker 1: we also have the tariffs are still going strong out there.
Speaker 1: Mark Carney, who is the Premier of Canada, is in
Speaker 1: the White House today meeting with the President trying to
Speaker 1: work out some sort of agreement. Dug Ford, the Premiere
Speaker 1: of the province of Ontario, was asked about what he
Speaker 1: sees as the stumbling blocks between Canada and the US.
Speaker 6: Well, well, the question is what are the American population
Speaker 6: going to do. You rely on the aluminum coming from
Speaker 6: Canada to build military and aerospace and manufacturing. You rely
Speaker 6: on steel as well coming from Canada, and thirty percent
Speaker 6: of the lumber to build homes is coming from Canada.
Speaker 6: The way to create more jobs is make a deal
Speaker 6: with Canada. The way to reduce inflation is make a
Speaker 6: deal with Canada and increase the economy is make a
Speaker 6: deal with Canada, your number one export country in the
Speaker 6: entire world. That's what needs to happen. And it's a
Speaker 6: shame that President Trump is doing this. It's just going
Speaker 6: to create more unemployment. You see, John Deere is laying
Speaker 6: off two hundred and eighty people and costing them hundreds
Speaker 6: of millions of dollars, and the list keeps going on
Speaker 6: and on and on. The auto sector, they've seen increased
Speaker 6: cost of over one hundred and seven billion dollars because
Speaker 6: auto parts travel back and forth across the border eight times.
Speaker 6: Are you know our economy is so integrated, so intertwined.
Speaker 6: Canada is not the problem, We're the solution. And he
Speaker 6: has to start looking at other countries like China.
Speaker 1: So you hear from economists that the tariffs are not
Speaker 1: really hitting the economy that hard, but it's working its
Speaker 1: way into the economy. And what Doug Ford has talked
Speaker 1: about the fact that yes, we rely upon Canada for
Speaker 1: a lot of products that we use, especially the automakers,
Speaker 1: and so if you're out looking for a car. The
Speaker 1: latest numbers coming from Detroit show that the used car
Speaker 1: market is picking up because people are finding out they
Speaker 1: can buy use cars without any tariffs on them. New
Speaker 1: car prices are going higher because of the fact that
Speaker 1: steel and aluminum are being tariffed. Until the prices of
Speaker 1: those cars are going up. The automakers are taking a
Speaker 1: huge hit trying not to pass on the higher cost.
Speaker 1: But that's not going to last forever. In other news,
Speaker 1: we've got Chicago is still having problems in Chicago and
Speaker 1: Portland about the troops. Should the president send troops or not? Listen,
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, I don't like the idea.
Speaker 1: I don't like it looks like some third world country
Speaker 1: where you got the military in fighting the citizens. But
Speaker 1: as I told you yesterday, what's going on is we've
Speaker 1: got immigration law is the purview of the federal government
Speaker 1: and they are rounding up illegal immigrants in Chicago and Portland,
Speaker 1: and the local authorities are fighting that well. The police
Speaker 1: should be able to handle most of the battle. The
Speaker 1: problem is the police chiefs work for the mayor, and
Speaker 1: the mayor in Portland and especially the mayor in Chicago
Speaker 1: are big lefties and they want to do anything they
Speaker 1: can to thwart Donald Trump, including the Mayor of Chicago,
Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson, has declared that there are areas in the
Speaker 1: city of Chicago that are no ice zones. Yeah that
Speaker 1: he thinks as the mayor of Chicago, he can declare
Speaker 1: that federal law enforcement cannot enter certain areas of his city.
Speaker 1: Raymond Lopez, one of the aldermen in Chicago, is shaking
Speaker 1: his head.
Speaker 7: You know, to be perfectly honest. So I don't know
Speaker 7: exactly what the mayor's latest executive order means with regards
Speaker 7: to making Chicago parts of Chicago ice free zones. Apparently
Speaker 7: he doesn't understand that Chicago exists within the United States
Speaker 7: of America and is subject to its laws. What we
Speaker 7: do know is this is that the mayors trying to
Speaker 7: embolden individuals to believe that somehow they are exempt from immigration,
Speaker 7: they are exempt from ice, they are exempt from federal enforcement,
Speaker 7: and that is inciting individuals to take up arms, to
Speaker 7: take up very aggressive action against our federal partners. As
Speaker 7: we saw play out this weekend. It's a very dangerous
Speaker 7: game of chicken that the mayor is setting up and
Speaker 7: the only losers are going to be the residence of
Speaker 7: the communities of the city of Chicago.
Speaker 1: It does feel like the temperature is rising and this
Speaker 1: is going to wind up someplace that's probably not a
Speaker 1: good place. Here's the president talking about it from the
Speaker 1: old opera.
Speaker 8: Find out who's going after our federal agents. So when
Speaker 8: you look at Chicago, it's like a war zone. And
Speaker 8: then I listened to the governor and the may get
Speaker 8: up and say how they have it under control.
Speaker 6: They don't.
Speaker 8: It's probably worse than almost any city in the world.
Speaker 8: You can go to Afghanistan, you can go to a
Speaker 8: lot of different places and they probably marvel at how
Speaker 8: much crime we have.
Speaker 1: And here's the mayor of Brandon Johnson talking about it.
Speaker 1: From his point of view.
Speaker 9: I said very candidly that the right wing in this
Speaker 9: country once a rematch of the Civil War. I just
Speaker 9: I want that to city in right now, because the
Speaker 9: President of the United States of America has declared war
Speaker 9: on the people of Chicago and people across America.
Speaker 1: Back to Alderman and Raymond flores.
Speaker 7: Well, it's outrageous to hear the mayor the city of Chicago,
Speaker 7: the third largest city in the nation say that the
Speaker 7: President is trying to have a second Civil War. He
Speaker 7: oftentimes refers to the descendants of the Confederacy as fighting
Speaker 7: against Chicago, and that couldn't be further from the truth.
Speaker 7: What we know is this is that there were two
Speaker 7: thousand individuals who were high priority targets for ICE and
Speaker 7: homeland security that were allowed to come to the city
Speaker 7: of Chicago under the previous Biden Harris administration, and that
Speaker 7: Donald Trump wants to work with Tom Holman to go
Speaker 7: after those individuals because they know how dangerous they are.
Speaker 7: Biden knew how dangerous they were and let them come
Speaker 7: to Chicago anyway. And yet the mayor and our Governor J. B.
Speaker 7: Prisker continue to try to use their rhetoric to somehow
Speaker 7: shame the federal government from trying to keep communities safe
Speaker 7: every day. Chicagoans aren't buying it. However, They are playing
Speaker 7: to a very small yet hyper aggressive sect in Chicago
Speaker 7: that are taking extreme actions against ICE and are going
Speaker 7: to put Chicago p D in a very unfortunate predicaments.
Speaker 7: It's going to end very badly unless we start working together.
Speaker 7: Because the way this trajectory is heading it's towards a
Speaker 7: showdown that nobody wants.
Speaker 1: It's all stems from cities and states declaring that they
Speaker 1: are sanctuary somehow not subject to the laws of the
Speaker 1: United States. And again I'm a big believer in states rights.
Speaker 1: In the city of Chicago, the state of Illinois should
Speaker 1: be able to come up with their own rules. That's
Speaker 1: founding fathers decided on that, and I thought it was genius.
Speaker 1: But the one area they enumerated for the federal government
Speaker 1: was immigration and immigration officers ICE. Immigration police are there
Speaker 1: to arrest illegals, and the city of Chicago's fighting back.
Speaker 1: I don't get it because these are yes, they're picking
Speaker 1: up people that aren't dangerous, but they're also looking for
Speaker 1: dangerous criminals that are among the people of Chicago. You
Speaker 1: would think the city leaders would cooperate with that one
Speaker 1: more doozy about government. But this one is within the
Speaker 1: federal government. We found out today there was a hearing.
Speaker 1: Pambondi had a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and
Speaker 1: in that hearing, Chuck Grassley, who was the chairman of
Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee, disclosed the fact that he just found
Speaker 1: out within the last I believe day or two that
Speaker 1: the FBI had something called artick Frost and what artic
Speaker 1: frost was. It was during the Biden administration that Jack Smith,
Speaker 1: the federal prosecutor, and the FBI combined to spy on
Speaker 1: and tap into the phone calls of eight Republican senators.
Speaker 1: The senators that they that they were spying on Lindsey Graham,
Speaker 1: Bill Haggerty from Tennessee, Josh Holly from Missouri, Dan Sullivan
Speaker 1: from Arkansas, I'm sorry from Alaska, Tommy Tuberville from Alabama,
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, Cynthia Loomis from Wyoming, and Marshall
Speaker 1: Blackburn from Tennessee. What were they doing? What were they
Speaker 1: spying on? Here's Chuck Grassler.
Speaker 4: Found out about this last Thursday and range this meeting
Speaker 4: for my colleagues, eight of them to be brief by
Speaker 4: the FBI. And they were totally shocked that Jack Smith
Speaker 4: at the time that he was prosecuting Trump as a
Speaker 4: citizen at that time. So we're talking about the twenty
Speaker 4: three twenty four time frame they solicited the phone numbers
Speaker 4: and who they talked to from these eight senators. It's
Speaker 4: a violation of privacy. We're getting the FBI to get
Speaker 4: us further information. They said, they give us more information
Speaker 4: by the end of the week, then I'll have to
Speaker 4: decide what I'm going to do. But I think I
Speaker 4: have a reputation for following the facts where they lead
Speaker 4: us and get to a conclusion. And this information was
Speaker 4: given to us by a whistleblower. So it just shows
Speaker 4: you how important it is people lower levels in the
Speaker 4: FBI to squeal on people that were violating the law
Speaker 4: and breaking all FBI rules to get this information. The
Speaker 4: FBI is going to follow up on that as a
Speaker 4: result of our briefing yesterday. That's what they promise, and
Speaker 4: you can be sure that I'll follow up on it.
Speaker 4: But right now I don't know of anymore than the
Speaker 4: eight people. One of them was a Congressman Kelly from
Speaker 4: Congressman Mike Kelly, but the rest of them are all Senators.
Speaker 1: Want to say the least, the Senators are not thrilled
Speaker 1: to find out about this. Josh Holly from Missouri put
Speaker 1: out a tweet today the truth comes out. Biden Stasse,
Speaker 1: who claimed to be saving our democracy, in fact worked
Speaker 1: over time to destroy it all for power. They spied
Speaker 1: on Catholic churches, prosecuted pro lifers deployed the FBI against
Speaker 1: parents at school board meetings and to tap and tried
Speaker 1: to tap the phones of their political enemies, including mine.
Speaker 1: This is an abuse of power beyond Watergate, beyond Jay
Speaker 1: Edgar Hoover, one that directly strikes at the Constitution, the
Speaker 1: separation of powers and the First Amendment. That's from Josh Holly.
Speaker 1: This is a brand new story. Who knows where this
Speaker 1: is going to go, but and Cash Pattel obviously now
Speaker 1: the FBI director, I'm sure he is digging into that,
Speaker 1: so we'll follow up on where that story goes. Finally,
Speaker 1: there is a person running for attorney General in the
Speaker 1: state of Virginia. And this guy's name is Jay Jones
Speaker 1: and he is a delegate to the He was a
Speaker 1: farmer delegates the House of Delegates, the state legislature in Virginia.
Speaker 1: But it's come out now revelations about him that he
Speaker 1: is a very twisted person, I mean, a moral monster
Speaker 1: is what National Review, who broke this story, is calling
Speaker 1: him of the first degree. They are blockbuster reporting about
Speaker 1: the fact that this guy, through text messages and phone
Speaker 1: conversations he had with a friend that he that he
Speaker 1: had when he was in the House of Delegates. State
Speaker 1: Republican Delegate Terry Cooinner texted her, talked to her, and
Speaker 1: he was having a conversation with her about should his
Speaker 1: opponents predecease him. He literally said he would go to
Speaker 1: their funerals and piss on their graves. This is this
Speaker 1: is a guy who has a long history of being vulgar,
Speaker 1: morally decayed. So he continued to talk to Terry Coiner
Speaker 1: and he revealed his thoughts are just dark. He said
Speaker 1: that if he was trapped in a room with a
Speaker 1: gun and two bullets alongside Hitler, Polpot and Todd Gilbert
Speaker 1: Todd Gilbert was the then Republican speaker of the State House,
Speaker 1: that he would shoot Gilbert twice. And he says that
Speaker 1: this isn't a crude joke. He says that if you
Speaker 1: think that he said it in haste. He then called
Speaker 1: miss Kanyer explaining himself too clearly. It wasn't like he
Speaker 1: called it. Oh man, I don't know what I wrote
Speaker 1: in that text. I was, you know, drinking, or I
Speaker 1: was out of my No. He doubled down and he
Speaker 1: said he wasn't kidding. He proceeded to make an impassioned
Speaker 1: argument in defense of the slaughter of innocence, and he
Speaker 1: declared that he thought at least some Republicans deserve to
Speaker 1: die for their politics, and he extended his death warrant
Speaker 1: to their children as well. He said the only way
Speaker 1: public policy changes is when they feel the pain themselves.
Speaker 1: At one point, he suggested that Gilbert's wife could watch
Speaker 1: her own children die in her arms so that Gilbert
Speaker 1: might reconsider his political views. Again, he was the Republican
Speaker 1: speaker of the legislature, and so he doubled, tripled down.
Speaker 1: Talking to this lady, he says, yes, I've told you
Speaker 1: this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they
Speaker 1: move on policy. This is not the behavior of a
Speaker 1: psychologically healthy person. This guy is mentally off. And he
Speaker 1: is the Democrat nominee running for the attorney general, the
Speaker 1: top cop, the top law enforcement officer for the state
Speaker 1: of Virginia. They have a guy in there right now
Speaker 1: who's perfectly normally. He's a Republican, but he's not some
Speaker 1: psychopath that's running for office. So this guy, I mean,
Speaker 1: he called back to further make his points, and he
Speaker 1: called back to further explain that his political enemy should
Speaker 1: die and that their children should as well. And he
Speaker 1: called back to justify his desire to see the mother
Speaker 1: of these children be punished for their Republican views by
Speaker 1: the death of their children. He said, they're breeding little
Speaker 1: fascist So, I mean, I know that in Virginia they
Speaker 1: are a purple state. And in the race for attorney general,
Speaker 1: it's pretty close actually between he and the and the Republican.
Speaker 1: The Democrat running for governor of Virginia is Glenn Youngkin
Speaker 1: is turned out. So the person running for Abigail Spendburger
Speaker 1: is it. I believe she's she's leading in the polls.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the attorney general, it's a
Speaker 1: fairly close race between the current attorney general and this guy.
Speaker 1: And I would think that the people of Virginia, people
Speaker 1: of anywhere would not want to have a psychopath as
Speaker 1: there in any form of authority, let alone the attorney
Speaker 1: general for the state of Virginia. So that that story
Speaker 1: is man and they they were preaching, Joe always preaching about,
Speaker 1: you know, the threat to democracy. This is the guy
Speaker 1: who's going to be the top cop if he wins
Speaker 1: that thing. The lieutenant governor who is running for governor,
Speaker 1: her name is winsome Earl sears.
Speaker 10: She had this to say, he's doubling down because no
Speaker 10: sooner than he sent that out, the so called apology,
Speaker 10: he was right back to well, Trump is Trump, That,
Speaker 10: as we would say in the Marine Corps, is not
Speaker 10: fit for office. He is not fit to move to
Speaker 10: the next rank. We don't need anyone who needs on
Speaker 10: the job training. And Jay Jones, with his murderers, his
Speaker 10: murderous comments, we can't have him. He can never be
Speaker 10: attorney general.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope the people of Virginia know the guy's name.
Speaker 1: His name is Jay Jones, and he is running for
Speaker 1: attorney general. I mean, there's all kinds of reasons to
Speaker 1: be against somebody, but this isn't about politics. This is
Speaker 1: about a man with a sick, dark mind and he
Speaker 1: wants to be the chief law enforcement officer for the
Speaker 1: state of Virginia. Something's drastically wrong there. All right, what
Speaker 1: are we got on Wall Street today? You have stock
Speaker 1: market pulling back a little bit, but gold price is
Speaker 1: hitting an all time record high again today. Let's start
Speaker 1: with the Dow. It was up, I'm sorry, doo was
Speaker 1: down ninety one points to forty six thousand and six
Speaker 1: to oh two, SMP down twenty five, Nasdaq down one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three. Check this out. Gold bugs up
Speaker 1: thirty one dollars today to four thousand and seven. This
Speaker 1: is the highest gold has ever been the last time
Speaker 1: there was a breakout sort of thing was back in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty when gold all of a sudden surged up
Speaker 1: to eight hundred and fifty dollars. And you ask, why
Speaker 1: is gold going up? Well, take a look around. I mean,
Speaker 1: we have got we've got economic uncertainty in this country.
Speaker 1: We've got terraffs. We don't know what impact they're going
Speaker 1: to have. We've got inflation that is not bait, but
Speaker 1: it's there and it's growing. We've got a dollar that
Speaker 1: is shrinking, and we've got an interest rate future that
Speaker 1: we're not quite sure of. Throw on all of that,
Speaker 1: all the political tensions, not only geographically with what's going
Speaker 1: on in Ukraine, what's going on with a moss, but
Speaker 1: also here in this country with Portland and Chicago, a
Speaker 1: lot of chaos, and so that people run to gold.
Speaker 1: The gold up to four thousand and seven dollars today,
Speaker 1: new record high. Oil went up a little bit of
Speaker 1: thirty five cents it's at sixty two dollars now for
Speaker 1: one barrel of void. Thank you for coming by today.
Speaker 1: We are going to be back again tomorrow. We'll see
