1
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: And hello, how are you welcome? Welcome to the Big

2
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:34,840
Podcast on this Monday. Today is the second day of February.

3
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,759
You're of all over twenty twenty six. My name is

4
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:44,359
Tom Sullivan. Happy groundhog Day to you. Just I'm not

5
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,640
one to watch a movie twice. I'm just not. I

6
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:52,280
don't go once I've seen a movie. It's like reading

7
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,079
a book. I read a book once, I don't go

8
00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:59,320
back and read it again. Groundhog Day, the movie, however,

9
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,240
is one I could watch over and over and over. Well,

10
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:05,480
kind of like groundhog Day, just the same thing over

11
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:08,799
and over. It's just funny. I find something funny in

12
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,799
there every time. So, in any case, welcome to groundhog Day.

13
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,680
We've got that. We've got the government is shut down partially,

14
00:01:16,879 --> 00:01:20,480
kind of You wouldn't know, would you. Maybe some of

15
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,840
you do, but I don't think many of us were

16
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:27,879
aware of that. We've got more reaction to the Epstein

17
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:31,599
documents that were released and apparently those that have not

18
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:36,280
been released. We've got some new updates for you on

19
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Iran and India and oil. So we got all of

20
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,120
that to go through. And the Emmys were last night.

21
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,000
I don't know if you watched any of it or not,

22
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,760
I want to start. However, there's a big mystery going

23
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:00,840
on and it involves a Savannah Guthrie, the anchor for

24
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,040
the Today Show. She's been the morning anchor for many

25
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040
many years now. She was with them before. She was

26
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,639
the lead female on the Today Show. She was a

27
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:15,599
legal contributor to NBC into the Today Show. She's a lawyer,

28
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:20,680
and something has happened with her mother. Her mother is

29
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:24,479
eighty four years of age. She lives in Tucson, Arizona,

30
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,840
and apparently she was last seen Saturday evening and hasn't

31
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:37,159
been seen since. She goes to church regularly and on Sundays,

32
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:40,599
she did not show up for church services. Somebody went

33
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,159
looking for her, couldn't find her. They called the police

34
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:47,319
about noon, and so it's been since noon on Sunday.

35
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,560
The police have been involved and they are saying that

36
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,520
this is not First of all, she's eighty four, but

37
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,560
apparently she is mentally sharp. There's no dementia, no all Zheimer's,

38
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:07,280
any of that. Physically, she has problems walking long, not

39
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,960
even long distances. She can't walk fifty yards. Apparently it's

40
00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:16,599
very hard for her. So how did she disappear and

41
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,639
at the news conference today in Tucson. One of the

42
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,439
reporters said, do you have her phone? And they said, yes,

43
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,520
we do, which means you don't leave home without your

44
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,639
phone today, do you. So let's pick it up. Let's

45
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:40,840
start with this troubling story out of Tucson with Chris Nanos.

46
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:45,400
He is the sheriff of the county there in Tucson.

47
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: That.

48
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: Nancy Gotthrie, eighty four years old, was missing. We expended

49
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:59,840
a lot of resources for a missing person that we

50
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,120
typically always do. Our search and rescue volunteers, our search

51
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:08,759
and rescue teams, other agencies, bore Star from Boarder Patrols

52
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,599
sent their caneines out. They worked tirelessly all day yesterday

53
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,920
and all day tonight. I'm all day yesterday all last

54
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:29,399
night to know about As I said, yesterday, we saw

55
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:32,879
some things at the home that were concerning to us.

56
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:37,480
We believe now after we process that crime scene that

57
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,879
we do in fact type of crime scene that we

58
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:43,800
do in fact type of crime and we're asking the

59
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:51,079
community's help. This community has always stent up to help

60
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:56,199
us solve some pretty tough crimes. I'm looking for that again.

61
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:04,560
This is a four year old lady who suffers from

62
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,800
some physical elements, has some physical challenges, is in need

63
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,920
of medication, medication that if she doesn't have in twenty

64
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,800
four hours, it could be fatal. So we make a

65
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:25,120
plead to anyone who knows anything about this, who has

66
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:31,120
seen something, heard something, to contact us, call nine one one.

67
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:40,240
We don't we don't need another bad tragic ending. We

68
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:40,879
need some help.

69
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,319
Speaker 1: So again that's the sheriff of the county there in Arizona,

70
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:55,319
Pima County. And they started the search Sunday afternoon. They

71
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,639
went all last night, did not stop, went through the night.

72
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,720
They had a helic up with flour cameras which can

73
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,720
see the heat of a body out in a neighborhood,

74
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,480
under a forest, in the desert, wherever they're looking. And

75
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:14,120
the fact that he said there's no dementia, there's physical limitations,

76
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:19,120
that she did not leave on her own. Somebody kidnapped

77
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,600
an eighty four year old lady. They said they shut

78
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,360
down the search and rescue that they're now investigating this

79
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:35,360
as a crime. And what gets me about is her daughter,

80
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:42,720
Savannah Guthrie, high profile person in the media and she

81
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:48,199
seems non controversial. She's a Today show host, it's kind

82
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:54,120
of a fluffy show. But you don't know. Maybe it's

83
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,120
tied in with her, maybe it's not. What I'm concerned

84
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,120
about is that people in the media do get threats,

85
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,800
and one of the old mafia things was We're going

86
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:12,319
to kill your family. Even bad guys today will say

87
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,160
that to police officers all the time. When I was

88
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,680
wearing a batch, I had people threatening me, I'm going

89
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,079
to kill your wife. I wasn't married, but you know

90
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:22,800
they do that, that's what they do. But did Savannah

91
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:27,759
got three get threats about going after her family. The

92
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,920
thing about it is Savannah put photos of her mother

93
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,319
on her Facebook page prominently. I don't know how much.

94
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,040
I haven't gone through Savannah Guthrie's Facebook page, but I

95
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:42,759
wonder how much information she gave out about her family,

96
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,959
thinking who would harm who would harm her mother? I

97
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,959
don't know if that has anything to do with it,

98
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,000
but it certainly seemed like it was targeted because it's

99
00:07:54,040 --> 00:08:00,720
just a regular neighborhood in Tucson. Randy Sutton, former law

100
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:02,800
enforcement officer, this is his reaction.

101
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was very very clear that they discovered evidence

102
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:13,160
at the scene that required the homicide section to be

103
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,879
involved in this. They did, in fact say that this

104
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,000
is a crime. Now what crime could it be? Well,

105
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,600
it could be either an abduction, which I think that

106
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,560
they're really really looking at as an abduction. Could there

107
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,519
have been signs of violence there? That would be an

108
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,919
indication from what he said that they found signs of violence.

109
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,679
When he said that they found signs that she did

110
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,159
not leave voluntarily, that tells me that they found signs

111
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:46,919
of violence there. Now the question is what were those signs?

112
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,559
Was it blood evidence, was it you know, disarray, you know,

113
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:57,080
furniture being you know, disarray. It could be any number

114
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,399
of things. But they are processing the scene and that

115
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,399
indicates that there is evidence. And of course they will

116
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,279
be looking at all the neighbors. You know, when they

117
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:07,840
do the canvas, they're going to be looking at all

118
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,320
the ring doorbells and other surveillance stuff that was there.

119
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,159
And that's what he's talking about when he talks about

120
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,360
license plate readers utilizing all the technology, and of course

121
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:19,440
that's exactly what they need to be doing.

122
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,159
Speaker 1: Josh Campbell, former FBI agent, also at his observations.

123
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,799
Speaker 5: Well, first, you know, we've obviously been focusing on this

124
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,559
as a missing person case. That critical update we just

125
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,240
got took this in a much more dire direction because,

126
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,240
as you mentioned, the sheriff now saying they believe that

127
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:40,840
a crime was committed at the home there, which they

128
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,200
are treating as a crime scene. Of course, that is

129
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,519
the question, well, well, who did it and where is

130
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,960
Nancy Guthrie at this hour? This search obviously continuing as

131
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,279
authorities try to appeal to the public to provide any tips,

132
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,759
to any information that they might have about what actually happened.

133
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:59,960
I will say that, you know, in any investigation, authority

134
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,320
are always trying to balance what information do they keep

135
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,600
close to the vests that they need to protect in

136
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,600
order to ensure that the investigation can continue, hopefully in

137
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,639
a positive direction, and what information do they need to

138
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:15,000
push out to the public. And that's that balancing act

139
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,519
I think we're seeing there right now. The sheriff appears

140
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,799
to have come to that calculation that whatever that evidence

141
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,799
was of a crime is something that they don't want

142
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,559
to push out yet. But of course they are appealing

143
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,840
to the public to try to assist if they can,

144
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,399
you know, providing this information. You know, the sheriff they're

145
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,440
saying that time is critical right now, based on as

146
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,919
you mentioned, you know she needs medication obviously, you know,

147
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,000
very concerning. One thing that the sheriff was also mentioning

148
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,519
is that the one of people in around this area

149
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:47,200
if you have you know these now you know ubiquitous

150
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,559
ring door cameras and you know other types of secure

151
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,279
security footage at residents, they want people to proactically go

152
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,720
through that footage, even if they don't think that they

153
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:59,639
didn't have any information. Sheriff also mentioned they're using license

154
00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:03,559
plate the LPRs or things technology We've seen in multiple

155
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,240
cases where if you have someone who comes in to

156
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,799
an area, that will pop on a license plate and

157
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:10,960
they can try to determine if there was indeed a

158
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:14,440
suspect vehicle that came to the home and then left

159
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,039
and tried to track that to its proper location. So

160
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,039
there's a lot going on behind the scenes right now,

161
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,480
but certainly very very concerning, and this has now taken

162
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:24,000
a much more concerning direction.

163
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: It has, and that's why I say it's a real mystery,

164
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,279
because who wants to kidnap an eighty four year old

165
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:34,480
woman living by herself. I don't know. She was divorced,

166
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,840
her a husband had died but she lived in this

167
00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:41,360
in this area of Tucson by herself. During the press

168
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:45,639
conference by the PMA County Sheriff, the one reporter asked

169
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:48,519
do you does she do you have her phone? And

170
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,519
the sheriff said yes, it caught my ear. It also

171
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,320
caught John Miller's ear.

172
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 6: It was the sheriff indicated, you know that we have

173
00:11:57,879 --> 00:12:00,960
her phone. Well, if a thor have her phone, that

174
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,679
means she does not, So the opportunity to track her

175
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:08,200
through that device is off the table. But it also

176
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,039
suggests that nobody is going to leave the house north

177
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,679
of ten o'clock at night and go anywhere without their phone.

178
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,879
So it's just another concerning sign.

179
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,919
Speaker 1: It is, and it's already started off as a real

180
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,600
who done it? Yes, it's getting a lot of attention

181
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,799
because Savannah Guthrie is a high profile media person. But

182
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:34,440
it also I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it

183
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,519
isn't tied into the fact that she is a high

184
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,240
profile media person. It has something to do with that.

185
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:48,799
It's sad to see. Speaking of crimes, well, we can

186
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,000
go right into the eptein files. So we told you

187
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:55,159
on Friday that they're released all the files that's what

188
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:00,320
they told us. Three million, two thousand video was one

189
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:04,240
hundred and eighty thousand photos well over the weekend. Apparently,

190
00:13:04,799 --> 00:13:08,440
I don't know about you. I I spent zero time

191
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:12,080
taking through the fire. I had other stuff to do.

192
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:15,159
In any case, people did, including people of the New

193
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,720
York Times, and they found that there were a number

194
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,720
of photos of nude women. I don't know if they

195
00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:27,600
were underaged or not. But the New York Times had

196
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,639
to tell the DOJ, hey, if you got nude photos

197
00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:35,639
in here. They apparently have gone back in and said, oh, oh, oh,

198
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:41,440
my gosh, thanks for lineners know. They also did not

199
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,759
only not disclosed, but they fully disclosed some of the

200
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:51,399
victims not only names but contact information. So a lot

201
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,480
of these young ladies that are now maybe not so young,

202
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:59,320
but they're victims from Epstein, are now going I wanted

203
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,440
to remain anous and now there's my name, my address.

204
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,919
I don't know what all's in there. So this has

205
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,039
been handled so so poorly, And now the accusation is

206
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,639
that they've only released about fifty percent of the files.

207
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:21,120
Jim Schultz is a former White House lawyer, a Republican,

208
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,559
and this is what he had to say.

209
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,759
Speaker 7: So not too surprising and also not surprising that he's

210
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:29,639
contradicting Pam Bondi. You know, Pam Bondi got out there

211
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,480
ahead of overhear Skis got out there early, started talking

212
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:36,480
about these documents early, then doubled down on talking about

213
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,480
who they're going to investigate and prosecute, probably playing to

214
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,080
an audience of one in that regard, I think Todd Blanche,

215
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,080
former prosecutor here from the Southern District of New York,

216
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,159
has you know, a more measured way about how going

217
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,279
handling these matters. I think that you're seeing what you're

218
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:57,440
seeing as a result of rushing through this process. There

219
00:14:57,559 --> 00:15:00,919
was incredible pressure for them to get the documents out,

220
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,399
incredible pressure for them to review the documents to get

221
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,080
them out. Although everyone thinks that the dj has you know,

222
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,159
this vast resources, they're doing a lot of other things

223
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,360
as well. So yeah, there was a group of lawyers

224
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,519
who are reviewing them. You're going to have human error

225
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:17,320
through that process. It's a shame when that happens, especially

226
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,639
when it becomes public and it you know, especially as

227
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:21,600
it relates to minors, if it could relate to minors

228
00:15:21,679 --> 00:15:24,159
or anyone for that matter when you're you know, producing

229
00:15:24,159 --> 00:15:26,519
that kind of information. Sure you that there are people

230
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:31,240
out there today who would have hoped that especially folks

231
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,159
powerful people who were involved in this, this thing who

232
00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:36,840
have been disclosed, would really would have liked to have

233
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,519
seen some of that redacted as well. And it's not

234
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,399
I mean that, you know, the Justice Department, you have

235
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:42,840
a bunch of career lawyers. You don't have a bunch

236
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,840
of political appoints these reviewing these documents. They're career lawyers.

237
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Mistakes are going to happen. I wouldn't give I wouldn't

238
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:52,840
read too much into that. Bottom line is the Epstein story.

239
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,440
Justice Department also said that there was nothing in the

240
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,039
files to allow give them something to prosecute anybody on nothing.

241
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,039
Speaker 1: Nope, didn't find a thing. So the Justice Department keeps

242
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,440
trying to bury this story, keep trying to make it

243
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,399
go away. That's why on Friday said this is it,

244
00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:20,679
this is everything. Look at all this and the stories

245
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:23,080
from people who know what's going on. And I don't

246
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,600
know if there's whistleblowers or what's going but they say

247
00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:29,360
they've only released about half of the files and they've done,

248
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,759
like I said, an absolutely terrible job in trying to

249
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:39,399
accomplish that. Trust me, this story has not gone away,

250
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,600
and it's not going to until people actually believe the

251
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:46,799
DJ and I'm not sure that's going to happen anytime

252
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,600
in the near future. Staying on the crime topic, Minnesota,

253
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:56,559
of the two federal officers who shot and killed Alex Pretty,

254
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,399
they were both from South tech. One was a Border

255
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:05,680
Patrol agent who joined the Border Patrol in twenty eighteen,

256
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:11,160
so he's got he's not some new hire. I kept thinking, well,

257
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,200
maybe these are the new hire guys they rushed through. No,

258
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:17,559
so he's been with them for eight years. The other

259
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:20,960
one is a Customs and Border Protection officer. He joined

260
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,559
in twenty fourteen, but he's got twelve years under his belt.

261
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,319
The second one was part of a special response team

262
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,119
that conducts high risk operations. Like I said, both from

263
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,519
South Texas, so we don't know their names. They're keeping

264
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:43,079
that very hush right now. The judge in a couple

265
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,200
of different judges, one of them, one judge said to

266
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,920
the federal government, remember the state of Minnesota. Students said,

267
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,680
they're out of control. You've got to we want to

268
00:17:54,759 --> 00:17:56,839
keep them out of the state of Minnesota. The judge

269
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,799
denied that and said no ICE can continue to do

270
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,400
that their work in the state of Minnesota. So they

271
00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:05,799
got to win on that. On the little boyd Liam

272
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:09,319
with the little blue hat and Bunny ears, cute little kid,

273
00:18:09,599 --> 00:18:12,880
the five year old, which has been totally misreported. We'll

274
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,880
continue to keep putting the truth back out there again.

275
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,960
He was with his His father went down to the

276
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,559
preschool to pick him up, brought him back to home,

277
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:25,799
and when he got back to home, Ice rolled in

278
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,599
and tried to detain the father. He was wanted target

279
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,960
it as somebody who was in the country illegally. The

280
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:37,920
father ran, leaving the five year old standing there. The

281
00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:41,000
mother was inside the house. She would not open the

282
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,039
door for fear that if she did, she would also

283
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:48,440
get arrested. So I took the little boy for protection

284
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:53,480
into their care and the father said, well, I want

285
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:55,960
him to be with me. They said, we're deporting you,

286
00:18:56,759 --> 00:18:59,640
sending you to the facility in Texas. He said, I

287
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,759
want my little boy with me, So they send him

288
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:04,480
down to Texas with his son. Been there for a

289
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:09,559
couple of days. Lawsuit and a judge ruled that you

290
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,960
have to return The father and the son to their

291
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,400
home in Minneapolis, and he pointed out about wording from

292
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:24,240
the Declaration of Independence, And the Declaration is a wonderful document,

293
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,799
but that's not the controlling document when it comes to law.

294
00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:31,359
It's called the Constitution. But that's what a federal judge said.

295
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,319
So the little boy and his father are back home

296
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,200
in Minneapolis, and I presume at this point they're basically

297
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,880
hands hands off of them. Nobody wants to go anywhere

298
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:48,880
near fussing with them. Senator John Kennedy was asked a

299
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,759
lot of things on an interview I saw earlier today.

300
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,799
This is his comment about Christy Noam and how she's

301
00:19:57,839 --> 00:19:59,759
doing as the head of DHS.

302
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:04,039
Speaker 7: Your view, Senator, has a Secretary of NOME sufficiently acknowledged

303
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,200
the mistakes she's made and her people made in Minnesota.

304
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,839
Speaker 8: Well, I haven't heard it. She might have, and I

305
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,440
just didn't hear it. I guess I'd make three points quickly.

306
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,680
Number One, I'm a big Tom Holman have had. I

307
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,559
think he knows what he's doing. I think he exercises

308
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,640
prudential judgment. I would leave him in charge. Number Two,

309
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,200
I think most Americans agree with me that illegal immigration

310
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,440
is illegal our immigration statutes are not some second tier laws.

311
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:38,720
I support enforcing them. How you enforce them, matters, do process,

312
00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:43,839
equal protection, A reasonable suspicion of Terryville. How you can

313
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,599
legislate stuff, but if you don't have the leadership to

314
00:20:47,759 --> 00:20:51,200
execute it, then it's of no moment. I think Holman

315
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:51,839
knows how to do.

316
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,799
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like that's John Kennedy being very tactful.

317
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,079
He obviously is not a fan of Christy Nolim and

318
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,200
he essentially he said he once are gone and give

319
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,079
the job to Tom Homer, and he's a big fan

320
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,240
of Tom Homan. About these Democrat led cities, very interesting.

321
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,359
Donald Trump previously said that he was going to go

322
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,480
in and save these cities for the people that live there,

323
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,079
and now he's taken a whole different tact, basically saying,

324
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:24,759
for the Democrat led cities, we're not going to come

325
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:27,920
help you. If you want help, you've got to ask.

326
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,519
You've got to ask for us to come in. And

327
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:34,880
that's essentially what the law has already kind of. That's

328
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,759
the direction is that it's up to the governors to

329
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:42,839
run their own states and the federal government. I'm a

330
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:46,680
big small government guy, A big smoggan. I'm a small

331
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,759
government guy, and so the less the federal government gets involved,

332
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:54,440
the better. And I also have mentioned that let them

333
00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:57,519
let them sit in that rot the people of Minnesota.

334
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,359
People in Minneapolis, they want to all those hardened criminals

335
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,279
living in their neighborhoods. I'm sorry, but if that's what

336
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:10,240
they want, they seem to. So President Trumps taken a

337
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,000
different tack. Here's how we had to how he addressed it.

338
00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:16,759
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, the crime regious cities are all Democrat

339
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:19,599
who run cities, and if they want help, they have

340
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,279
to ask for it, because if we go in, all

341
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:25,039
they do is complain. But if they want help, they

342
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:28,160
could ask what are they're gonna need help? Los Angeles

343
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,200
as an example, we went in, we solved it.

344
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: A little noisy background. He was on Air Force one,

345
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:36,839
but basically saying they need to call us. John Fetterman,

346
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,480
Pennsylvania's senator Democrat. These are his latest remarks.

347
00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 9: Take the win that you secured our border, and I've

348
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,039
acknowledged that as a Democrat. So for me, people are dying,

349
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,079
and you know, I don't think America really wants people

350
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,000
going after otherwise, you know, hard working migrants in these communities.

351
00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:00,759
Speaker 1: Well, the polls said that they did want Ice to

352
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:04,119
go after all the illegals, to send the ball back

353
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,799
out of this country. And yet when they saw the

354
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:11,640
way that it was being done, the poles have changed dramatically.

355
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,720
So they're very positive. For thank you President Trump for

356
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,559
sealing the border, but no thank you to Ice on

357
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:24,039
the way that they are implementing the deportation. You knew

358
00:23:24,079 --> 00:23:26,599
it was going to be ugly. Some people didn't know

359
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,759
it was going to be this ugly.

360
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:32,319
Speaker 9: Fetterman continues also say, now some of those the agents

361
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,559
wearing masks, I think primarily that's driven by people are

362
00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:40,519
going to dox those people. That's a serious concern too. Absolutely,

363
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:44,279
they could target their families, and they are organizing these

364
00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:47,119
people to put their names out there. So don't ever

365
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:51,640
ever dox people and target their families too. So that's

366
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,839
part of the churn as well now too.

367
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,079
Speaker 1: Well Ice, No surprise, Ice came up at the Emmys

368
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,200
last night. Of course they did. That's what these award

369
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,880
shows are all about, is to get up there and

370
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:10,200
have the celebrities say something political. Here's a little montage

371
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,960
of some of them from the Awards ceremony they had,

372
00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:14,960
they did their thank you and then of course figured

373
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,519
out how to get the throw some mud at ice.

374
00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 6: Before I say.

375
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,799
Speaker 10: Thanks to God, I'm gonna say ice out.

376
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,519
Speaker 11: No one is illegal on stolen land. Our voices really

377
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:36,359
do matter, and the people matter, and.

378
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,599
Speaker 3: Let's say sorry.

379
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 8: I hope everybody is inspired to join together as a

380
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,440
community of artists and speak out against what's going on.

381
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 11: And I'm gonna leave this a safe ice.

382
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,799
Speaker 1: So what happened to the days when the FCC used

383
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:54,640
to find the networks if anybody dropped an F bomb.

384
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,359
They were dropping F bombs all over the place last night.

385
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,440
But in any case, that was that was their reaction.

386
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:08,440
Julian Epstein is a Democrat strategist, and he's got his

387
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:10,039
feet firmly planted on the ground.

388
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 11: Strange silence of the radical left that is becoming mainstream

389
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,880
in the Democratic Party, that turns a blind eye to

390
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,759
what's happening in Iran, in Sudan and Yemen, all over

391
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:24,519
the middies and all over the world where you see

392
00:25:24,759 --> 00:25:28,079
tens of thousands of people being massacred, but somehow the

393
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,799
perpetrators of those crimes don't fit into the narrative of

394
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,519
the socialist left, so they sort of ignore them, which

395
00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:39,000
I think sort of undermines the legitimacy of a lot

396
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:43,720
of sort of the philosophy and the ideas of the

397
00:25:43,799 --> 00:25:48,079
radical left. Just because you can sing a song or

398
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,920
read a script doesn't mean you understand anything about the

399
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,000
complexity of our politics or for our polity. In fact,

400
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,400
it probably means you know less about it because you're

401
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,880
spending all your time doing other things. Ultimately, what I

402
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,640
think these protests at these award shows are about is narcissism.

403
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,680
It's sort of making yourself feel good, making yourself feel

404
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,359
that you're more virtuous than the rest of us. But

405
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,359
ultimately at backfires because most of the American public thinks

406
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,960
that Hollywood celebrities are sort of out of touch, and

407
00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:21,759
also backfires to your point, because it's intellectually completely inconsistent.

408
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,960
You talk about enforcement of the law in the United States,

409
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,839
which ICE is doing, which is democratically driven, there's a

410
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,559
mandate for it, while you ignore these gross abuses that

411
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:37,079
are occurring elsewhere because it doesn't fit into your narrative.

412
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: Julian Eptein, like I said, he's a democrat strategist. I

413
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:44,119
got the feeling that he's from the old school Democrats,

414
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,319
not from the new far left wing. And so if

415
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,279
you remember what Democrats used to be like before the

416
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,720
left wing got control of the party, I think Julian

417
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,519
Epstein is one of those guys. There was the President's

418
00:26:57,519 --> 00:26:59,880
all upset. I don't know why he takes the bait.

419
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,400
I don't know why he takes debate. He sent out

420
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,240
a truth social where he's gonna be suing Trevor Noah

421
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,000
and included a bunch of insults about Trevor. Trevor Noah

422
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:16,599
was the was the host of the Emmys. He said,

423
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,480
this is the last year he's going to do it.

424
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:21,519
The way he did it was he kind of wandered around,

425
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:26,279
riffing on things that he saw with the people sitting

426
00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:30,240
in the audience. So this was this the President's upset

427
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,880
because Trevor Noah told a joke. So here's the joke

428
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:34,880
that made the president so upset.

429
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 10: That is a Grammy that every artist wants, almost as

430
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,960
much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense. I mean,

431
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,279
because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one

432
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:46,400
to hang out with Bill Clinton.

433
00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 11: So, oh, I told you it's my last year. What

434
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,000
are you going to do about its?

435
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: Well, Trump, Trump's going to sue about it, That's what

436
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,400
he's going to do. So, yeah, he wants an island

437
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,559
so that President Trump and Bill Clinton could go have

438
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,240
an island. Greenland's a little cold for that island stuff.

439
00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:10,240
I don't know. You might think it's funny, you might not,

440
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:15,319
but I don't know about threatening the lawsuit. Well, it

441
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,319
is a groundhog Day and they had the big ceremony

442
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,519
in Puck Satani, Pennsylvania. And here's the announcement that happened

443
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:27,079
this morning.

444
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 12: It is my job this February two to look to

445
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,640
the skies and report back to you that there is

446
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:42,519
a shadow here on my ground. Six more weeks of

447
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,359
winter abound.

448
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Pockxatani Phil said he saw the shadows of

449
00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:54,240
six more weeks of winter. Harry Enton, I looked into

450
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,880
the statistics about how correct listening to a rodent for

451
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:02,640
your weather forecast can be. I don't even like.

452
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,359
Speaker 11: I hate it so much.

453
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 7: I don't even know if if they can see the

454
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,920
shadow of it's flitterd I mean, I don't even know.

455
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,359
Speaker 13: If you see the shadow, that means six more weeks

456
00:29:09,359 --> 00:29:11,079
of winter and you know, there's this whole idea of

457
00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:13,480
Puck satani Fil. It turns out there are a ton

458
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:16,279
of rodents out there who are predicting the winter or

459
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:18,759
the spring. And what are we talking about here? Groundhog

460
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:21,480
calls for an early spring? Look at this. We got

461
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,519
Staten Island Chuck here in New York. No, we've got

462
00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:28,319
General Beauregard Lee down in the Great State of Georgia.

463
00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:31,960
He says, no, how about Puck satani Phil, of course

464
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,720
the most famous?

465
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 12: He says no.

466
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 13: Later today, we will in fact get groundhog Sam Champion

467
00:29:37,319 --> 00:29:40,079
out on Long Island, and we will also have groundhog

468
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:44,279
Harry my namesake, that's actually Harold Ramis out in Chicago, Illinois.

469
00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:47,480
So the bottom line is this. The rodents are in

470
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:51,119
fact united on this. We are going to see six

471
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,240
more weeks of winter, according to at least these rodents.

472
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,720
So I think Puck Satani Phil has been getting away

473
00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:00,000
with groundhog murder. But why do I say that?

474
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 11: Why do I say?

475
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 5: It?

476
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,079
Speaker 13: Turns out his prediction, his accuracy rate ain't too hot

477
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:08,319
to trot. Get this groundhog four kass accuracy pucks at

478
00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:11,559
Tawny Phil just thirty five percent. It turns out that

479
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,640
the two best groundhogs if you're interested in predicting whether

480
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,279
or not we're gonna have six more weeks of winter

481
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,359
are General Beauregard lead down in the Great State of Georgia.

482
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,880
And of course Staten Island Chuck is actually number one.

483
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,400
Eighty five percent of the time he is correctly forecasted

484
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,759
whether or not we get six more weeks of winter.

485
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:31,880
And of course at this point he says that in fact,

486
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,640
we are not going to get an early spring there

487
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,440
for six more weeks of winter.

488
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:37,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. You haves to remember though, that Staten Island Chuck

489
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,079
was also the one Bill de Blasio when he was

490
00:30:40,119 --> 00:30:45,880
mayor picked up the groundhog and dropped him and he died.

491
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,720
So it's not the same it's not the same chuck.

492
00:30:49,079 --> 00:30:52,119
It's a new chuck that's apparently doing better than the others.

493
00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:58,559
So Wow, shut down still continues. They keep saying they're

494
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:01,200
going to have it all saw, but they're not getting

495
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,319
it solved because they can't do anything in DC Wall

496
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:09,519
