1 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: Well here we are welcome to the Big Podcast. Happy 2 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:33,799 Monday to you on this President's Day. Yeah, no, no, no, 3 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,000 it's a federal holiday. Not much as closed. The banks 4 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,359 are closed, the government is closed, and Wall Street is closed. 5 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,399 So that's about it. Everything else I think is open. 6 00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:49,439 It's one of those kind of holidays where I don't 7 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,280 know it's around. I'll tell you. I'll get to a 8 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,640 piece and just a bit. There's a wonderful piece written 9 00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:57,840 by George W. 10 00:00:58,039 --> 00:00:59,039 Speaker 2: Bush. 11 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,359 Speaker 1: They're doing some sort of project. Basically, he wrote a 12 00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:08,640 piece today that's in the New York Times about George Washington, 13 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,040 and it's open. It's a series of essays about US 14 00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:20,959 presidents and George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. There's one 15 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,640 mother that also three presidents that have written about all 16 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:32,840 President Obama about prior presidents. So in this essay that 17 00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:37,200 George W. Bush wrote today, he says few qualities have 18 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:43,159 inspired me more than George Washington's humility. Our first president 19 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,879 could have remained all powerful, but twice he chose not 20 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,079 to about relinquishing leadership after the revolution American Revolutionary War. 21 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,640 Then he stepped down as president after two terms, and 22 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:02,319 Bush wrote, by relinquishing power rather than holding on to it. 23 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,920 He ensured America would become would not become, sorry, a 24 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,080 monarchy or worse. So it's a piece about humility. And 25 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,840 George Bush doesn't really do interviews anymore, but he wrote 26 00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:19,879 this essay as part of this project that they're putting 27 00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:23,439 together for the two hundred and fifty year anniversary. There's 28 00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:27,479 also Bill Clinton wrote one on or is going to 29 00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:31,919 write one on Theodore Roosevelt. Barack Obama is going to 30 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:38,280 write a essay on Abraham Lincoln. Brett behar Over at 31 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:40,800 Fox has been asked to write one, so he's writing 32 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:49,400 on President Eisenhower, and Chief Justice John Roberts is writing 33 00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:53,280 one on William Howard Taft, who happens to be the 34 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:59,240 only person to serve both as President and a Supreme Court. 35 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,879 So it's all part of the two hundred and fiftieth commemoration. 36 00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:09,960 And now they're not writing about they're not asking Donald 37 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Trump or Joe Biden to write. The thing is too 38 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,599 it's too new, and it's full of all kinds of pitfalls. 39 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,719 So that's what the project is all about, and it'd 40 00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:27,159 be worth reading George w. Bush's essay about George Washington. 41 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,439 So we've got that. I also want to start the 42 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:40,719 podcast today with a personal note that's making news. Robert 43 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,120 duval the actor, has passed away today at the age 44 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,800 of ninety five. Actually he died at his home in 45 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,360 Virginia yesterday at ninety five. Robert Duvall and my wife's 46 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:59,560 family were as close as you could be. They ve 47 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,240 ak together, they went. I mean they've they've known each other, 48 00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:08,840 very close friends for a long long time. So hats 49 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,560 off to Duvaul. I mean, he's getting a lot of 50 00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:14,800 news today because he was He was not just your 51 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,439 average actor. He was huge and well he right, this 52 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,079 is the ball. He was interviewed I don't know, four 53 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,160 or five years ago, and he tells the story about 54 00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:28,879 when he was a young guy trying to break in 55 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:34,279 to acting. He and two other guys were we'd go 56 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,360 around every day around Broadway in New York looking for 57 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,560 acting jobs. Here's a little bit from Robert Duvall and 58 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,959 his book. Brando said wonderful things about I mean, that's 59 00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:48,279 enough for me. We used to gather at Cromwell's drug store, me, 60 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,519 Tustin Hoff, and Gene Hagman two three, four times a week. 61 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 3: Way back. 62 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: If we mentioned Brando's name once we mentioned at thirty times. 63 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: He was like our guy. 64 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,959 Speaker 1: He was our guy Brando. And you know when he 65 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,800 you get a pat on the back by him, then 66 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,560 you don't care what all the other people say. Story was, 67 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,839 he and Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman were three young guys. 68 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:12,839 They were doing what three young guys trying to get 69 00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:16,240 into the active business do. They were waiting tables, they 70 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,319 were being janitors, they were doing anything they could to 71 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:24,959 make some money. Hackman was married, but Dustin Hoffman was not. 72 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,920 So Duval and Hoffman were roommates in some cheap place 73 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,879 in New York. That was a long time ago, because 74 00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:34,680 I mean he lived a good long life, ninety five 75 00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:38,000 years of age. And his family. I've gotten to know 76 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,360 the Duval family, and they're all very successful people in 77 00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:49,800 their own right and all with humility. Nobody thinks of 78 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,920 themselves as a big deal, but they are all very 79 00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:59,399 successful people. So our condolences to the Dubal family today. 80 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,120 Cighton David over at Variety, one of many from Hollywood 81 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:05,839 chiming in, I. 82 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,879 Speaker 4: Mean, it's incredibly sad, you know when you look at 83 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,680 this time that we're currently in, you know, after losing 84 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,199 Jeane Hahman and over the last year, and you look 85 00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:16,600 at a person like Robert Duvall, who's been a staple 86 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:21,560 of cinema for over six or seven decades. It is 87 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,199 a loss that you know is incredibly sad. But at 88 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,000 ninety five years old, I mean, what a career, what 89 00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:34,560 a life, so many memorable roles, including The Godfather, Apocalypse now, 90 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,319 you know, smell of Nate Palm in the morning is 91 00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:39,959 like one of those one liners you'll just remember forever. 92 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,480 And for people like my wife, to Kill a Mockingbird 93 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,160 is her favorite film of all time. Boo Radley and 94 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,319 to Kill a Mockingbird, this is he means a lot 95 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,319 to a lot of people. You know, for a lot 96 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,160 of people, they'll say The Godfather. But I was the 97 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,600 nineties kid, so you know, you catch up with a 98 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,160 lot of the classics that you get older. I remember 99 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,800 one of the first movies ever remember watching Robert Balin 100 00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:07,839 was Falling Down with Michael Douglass Joel Schumacher classic in 101 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,240 the in the mid nineties, I remember seeing him in 102 00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:14,079 The Apostle, which this movie he directed, got nominated for 103 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,120 a Best Actor the same year as Titanic was an 104 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,240 incredible performance. He played a preacher, and then he was 105 00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:26,000 still working even still recently, just over a decade ago, 106 00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,000 he got nominated for another Oscar for The Judge opposite 107 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,399 Robert Danny Jr. I caame the third oldest person ever 108 00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:36,439 to be nominated for Supporting Actor. He was eighty four 109 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,879 at the time. So he's one of those actors that 110 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,600 if we have to argue about what's his best movie, 111 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,519 that means you're a pretty good actor. We can't agree. 112 00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:49,800 The fact that this happened, you know today, and you 113 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,920 know it's bringing here in California. I mean, it seems 114 00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:57,079 also pretty you know, serendipitous, like you know, the world 115 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,279 is crying because we lost a great man today. So 116 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:03,680 also like he did. 117 00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:09,279 Speaker 1: He lived a very good, long life and again very humble, 118 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,199 very down to earth man, his whole family, everybody. So yeah, 119 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,800 our condolences again to the du Baal family. So we've 120 00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:26,199 got the latest on Nancy Gotthrie. I know people are going, oh, man, 121 00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:29,319 come on, I know they haven't found her. And that's 122 00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:32,720 the thing. They haven't found her. What's really strange about 123 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,399 all of this is they, for some reason, I presume 124 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,559 they're working with Mexican authorities. But I mean, Mexico's just 125 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,320 an hour down the road. In any case, it's still 126 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,039 going right. So rather than I've got four hundred comments 127 00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:56,000 from various police experts and FBI retired, FBI this and 128 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,679 retired share with that, and we've heard all of those 129 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,240 comments over and over again. But Harvey Levin over at 130 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:11,960 TMZ got yet another email from the guy that wants 131 00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:18,240 payment in order to say where Nancy Guthree is being 132 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,840 held and by whom she's being held. Here's Harvey Levin 133 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,919 talking about it today. 134 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 5: It is Monday morning. We have received a fourth letter 135 00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:31,480 from the same person who says that he knows where 136 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,600 Nancy gotthree is and he wants money in return for 137 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:42,200 the information. Essentially, he wants the reward. So I have 138 00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:46,240 something to say to you, and I have already talked 139 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:51,759 to the FBI about this, that if you are not real, 140 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,279 you're committing a crime and you should know that, and 141 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,759 this is a serious federal crime. If you are real. 142 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:04,240 This is the fourth letter you've sent, and I should 143 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,080 tell everybody that. In this letter, it says I know 144 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,039 what I saw five days ago south of the border, 145 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,759 and I was told to shut up, so I know 146 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:22,840 who he is and that was definitely Nancy with them. 147 00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:28,000 This is the second time he has referred to more 148 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,519 than one person involved in this. He said there is 149 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,440 a main person and there are others, and he said 150 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,320 it here he is saying that Nancy was taken to Mexico. 151 00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:42,679 Now this is what he's saying. I'm not going to 152 00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,559 vouch for him, but this is the fourth letter. We 153 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,279 have sent them all on to the FBI. And he 154 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:53,639 also says one of the reasons he's worried about coming 155 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,080 forward is he has a record. He has a burglary 156 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,039 on his record from ten years ago. So I don't 157 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,440 know if you're real or not if you're watching this, 158 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,480 but if you are, and I have told the FBI 159 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:10,720 that we're going to do this, they know. 160 00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: This that. 161 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 5: If you're worried about getting this money and you really 162 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,600 do have this information, send it to us. You're sending 163 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,120 us these letters, send it to us. We will forward 164 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,080 it to the FBI, and that way there's a record 165 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,279 that we have that you supplied this information. If they 166 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,480 find her, and they find the kidnapper, then at least 167 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,000 there is evidence because we have it that you're the 168 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:47,360 one who provided the information. So this is a way 169 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,279 for you to get that money. If this really is legitimate, 170 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,600 send us the information. We will pass it on to 171 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,519 the FBI, all. 172 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,799 Speaker 1: Right, So we'll see what happens with that. But I 173 00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,720 think I get pretty clear everybody thinks this is bogus. 174 00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,000 But that's the problem with situations like this, you never know. 175 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,480 Savanah Got three did put out another videotape earlier today. 176 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,159 Let's listen to what she said. 177 00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 6: I wanted to come on and it's been two weeks 178 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,279 since our mom was taken, and I just wanted to 179 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:28,159 come on and say that we still have hope and 180 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,879 we still believe. And I wanted to say to whoever 181 00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:40,080 has her or knows where she is, that it's never 182 00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:46,960 too late, and you're not lost or alone, and it 183 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,919 is never too late to do the right thing, and 184 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,840 we are here, we believe, and we believe in the 185 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,200 essential goodness of every human being. 186 00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: So she's worn out. You can tell the stress on her. 187 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,879 This was the second one in a row now, or 188 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,200 the fourth one that she's put out. That it's not 189 00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:13,399 not scripted, that's totally adalib just like the last one. 190 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,360 First two were scripted. I think the FBI wanted her 191 00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:20,120 to say certain things, but in the last one and 192 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:24,919 then today, Savannah is just pouring her heart out there 193 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:31,240 about wanting her mother back. One law enforcement expert on 194 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,360 all this is John Miller. I always think that he's 195 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,960 about the most informed person of all the group that 196 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,440 we hear from. Let's see what he says today. 197 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:47,799 Speaker 2: They are trying to appeal directly to the kidnappers, but 198 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,320 a broader appeal. I believe that part of their message 199 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,879 is sure, if anybody saw anything, tell us. We've heard 200 00:13:55,879 --> 00:13:58,720 that a number of times, and that goes without saying 201 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,440 if you're the kidnapper, we believe she's still out there. 202 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,159 We want her back in any condition that she may 203 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,639 be in physically. But I think it's also inherent in 204 00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:15,240 that message that she's appealing to the good in people 205 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,440 because she understands that someone out there who may not 206 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:24,960 be the kidnapper also may know that could be a 207 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,519 white spouse, a friend, someone who is associated with the 208 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,679 kidnapper maybe had knowledge of the plot or saw something. 209 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,039 She is and when you see the video, she is 210 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,960 clearly exhausted. She's been under so much pressure, but she's 211 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,039 saying there's someone out there who has the key to 212 00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:46,320 us getting our mother back. 213 00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: So as far as behind the scenes, it's kind of 214 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,399 a strange way that they're going about this. They found 215 00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:56,759 that glove. Everybody saw that last week. If you're following 216 00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:59,600 this case, they found a glove. They've actually they found 217 00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:04,879 six steam gloves. What's with all the gloves out there 218 00:15:04,919 --> 00:15:06,960 in the desert. But apparently they're saying a lot of 219 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,879 the the people that are out looking for evidence are 220 00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:17,399 wearing gloves and they just toss them, which is what's 221 00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:19,399 the matter with those people? In any case, they found 222 00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:23,919 sixteen gloves. This one, they say, looks like the one 223 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,039 in the video on the front porch, So it looks 224 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,879 like that, and that's the one that they sent off 225 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:36,559 to Florida. Now they've done their work, they are sending 226 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:40,799 it to the FBI. For the FBI has the control 227 00:15:40,919 --> 00:15:45,360 over the codis database. That is the database that has 228 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,440 every DNA in it of everybody who's ever been convicted 229 00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:55,320 of a crime. So they're trying to match that right 230 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,679 now as we speak. In fact, by the time you 231 00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:01,679 hear this podcast, they may have already discovered whatever the 232 00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:05,159 answer is. The chances of it are slim. To none. 233 00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:08,879 But I don't blame them for trying because the sheriff 234 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,879 said there was DNA in the home. Okay, there was 235 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,759 DNA obviously on the glove that the bad guy was wearing. 236 00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:23,159 But is that the same glove that they found one 237 00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:25,919 and a half miles down the road in on the 238 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,320 side of the road. I doubt it. But they're going 239 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,720 to find somebody's DNA and then from there they've got 240 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,639 to figure out who that was. What I'm still I 241 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,159 don't understand is if they found DNA in the home, 242 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,240 I presume the sheriff sent it to the lab that 243 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:49,039 he likes in Florida. Why haven't they sent that up 244 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,080 to Quantico? Baby they have? And then if they get 245 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,120 no hit on that because there's not it doesn't match 246 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:03,240 anybody in Cotis, then do the genial logical DNA that's 247 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:06,519 not brand new. Now it's been a few years. They 248 00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:10,160 caught the Golden State killer that way out in California. 249 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,920 A detective from East Bay, the Bay Area Police Department, 250 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,480 was working in the He's a lab technician. He's the 251 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,400 one who came up with this idea of doing genealogical research, 252 00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:27,960 putting together a family tree that's how they caught the 253 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,200 guy who killed the four kids in Idaho. So I 254 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,559 don't know what they're doing, but they are working on 255 00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:41,079 that DNA. We'll see what they come up with. I 256 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,920 hate to be this way, but it sounds like the 257 00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:49,960 sheriff there almost doesn't know about genealogical DNA. He keeps 258 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,519 talking about, well, we'll run and see what we'll get. Meantime, 259 00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:57,279 they have something called a signal snipper and it's on 260 00:17:57,519 --> 00:18:00,279 their helicopter, and that's why they're flying the helicopter low 261 00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:05,400 around Nancy got Thrie's home. Is it picks up the 262 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,279 signal from a pacemaker. If you live in that area 263 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,960 and you have a pacemaker, they're going to find your signals, 264 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,079 not going to hurt anything, but they're looking for Nancy's pacemaker, 265 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,160 and so far they haven't said that they've founded back 266 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,839 to the home. The sheriff said there's more cameras in 267 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,200 the home. Are they trying to extract the video from those? 268 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:34,400 I know it's hard, but at this point on this Monday, 269 00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:40,440 Day sixteen, that they have no leading theories. They don't 270 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:47,640 know if it's really about money or about revenge. Somebody 271 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,279 do something and somebody's getting back at Savannah or the family. 272 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,240 Was it just a robbery gone bad and they did not. 273 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,119 Maybe Nancy knew who they were, so they took her 274 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,880 with them. And then there's over the weekend there was 275 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,559 that big They had a caravan of police vehicles and 276 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,440 exam trucks and others that went out to do a 277 00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:14,400 search of a home. And they went through that home. 278 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,880 They had to get a warrant from a judge, and 279 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,039 in that warrant you have to tell the judge we 280 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,359 believe that there is criminal material in this location. And 281 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,759 then they also found a third person from that home 282 00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:31,720 that was in his car in a restaurant parking lot. 283 00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:34,519 They put him in cuffs, they put him in the 284 00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,079 back of a car. They interrogated him for three hours, 285 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,480 and once again they let all these people go, but 286 00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:42,599 they did not let him take his car. It's a 287 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:48,599 range Rover Silver Range Rover. They impounded it for I'm going, well, 288 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,880 how would you let that guy go if there's something 289 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,319 in the car. I don't understand. They keep releasing the 290 00:19:56,319 --> 00:20:00,920 crime scene. They release people right and left, so there's 291 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,200 a lot going on. I just thought that you need 292 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,440 to have probable cause of a crime or a criminal 293 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,680 material for a judge to sign off on a warrant, 294 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,519 and they keep getting warrants and they keep not funding anything. 295 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,519 Then there's the question about whether Savannah will even go 296 00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:21,480 back to the Today Show. People are saying that, and 297 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,960 I get this, that she would be fearful as somebody 298 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,400 would try and get other members of her family. So 299 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,400 she's we'll see what she does. God bless the woman. 300 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,839 So we got all of that. What else do we have? Well, 301 00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:36,400 the government's still shut down. I know it's a holiday today, 302 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,000 so you probably did not notice because all of the 303 00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:43,680 government is shut down today. But yeah, we've got the 304 00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:48,920 Department of Homeland Security. We're not talking about the Post Office, 305 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,519 talking about homeland security. This was put together right after 306 00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:57,960 nine to eleven to protect our nation, and instead Congress 307 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,039 hasn't funded it. Old timver shit, good old boy. This 308 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:04,839 is his reaction. 309 00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:09,039 Speaker 3: They have no real agenda other than the disrupt President 310 00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:12,440 Trump's agenda, and that's America's agenda. Who in the world 311 00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:18,079 would want to defund ice, defund FAMA, defund the TSA. 312 00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:20,559 Why would you do that? All you want to do 313 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,880 is cause pain in this country. It's clearly clearly about politics. 314 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,000 So the issue is I've got the list from the 315 00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:32,799 Democrats in Congress about what they want before they will 316 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,880 fund DHS. One of them is they want targeted enforcement. 317 00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:44,599 All right, Well, Tom Holman went to Minneapolis and he 318 00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:47,640 he was I mean, he didn't come out and lambasted 319 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,440 them too much, but basically they were not doing targeted enforcement. 320 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: And he said, that's what we're doing. That's what we do, 321 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,319 and that's what we're going to continue to do. And 322 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,839 everybody in Minneapolis, Saint Paul said great. So number one 323 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,559 on their list has been satisfied. Number two on the 324 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:09,559 list is no masks. This is where I differ from 325 00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:13,319 a lot of people that I know that are conservatives 326 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,559 or lean right. I wore a badge, carried a gun. 327 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:23,200 I never wore a mask. Most is your local police department, 328 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,359 are they wearing masks? No? How about your highway patrol, 329 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,400 your state police, how about your county sheriff? Are they 330 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,440 wearing masks? No. I've complained about the fact that a 331 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,359 lot of them are starting to look like soldiers. They're 332 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,920 wearing camo and ball caps and all they should wear 333 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,480 police uniforms. And I don't have a problem with the 334 00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:47,240 fact that they should not wear masks unless they were 335 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,519 undercover officers trying to keep something. So number two on 336 00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:55,039 the list, no masks. I'm good with that. And guess 337 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,960 who else is also he doesn't want to do it, 338 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,079 but he understands and he's he's okay with it is 339 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:01,920 Tom Holman. 340 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,039 Speaker 7: As far as a mask, Look, you know, I don't 341 00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:07,680 like the masks either, but because threats against ice officers, 342 00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,400 you know, are up over fifteen hundred percent. Actual assaults 343 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,160 and threats are up over eight thousand percent, these men 344 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,920 and women have to protect themselves. As far as I 345 00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:19,599 dentifying themselves, they all have plaquers. I dentify himself as 346 00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:23,160 ICE e er O HSI DEA FBI. 347 00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you heard what he said. I don't 348 00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:29,799 like masks either, he said. But I mean most police 349 00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:33,119 officers where they have a badge with a badge number. 350 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,640 And I can't tell you how many people said to me, 351 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,960 what's your badge number? I tell him. And I also 352 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,480 had a name tag on the front of my shirt, 353 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:47,039 and so I I mean, I'm sorry, even in the army, 354 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,240 all of you in the military, you have your name 355 00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:52,640 tag right there on the front of your uniform. So 356 00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:55,400 I'm not sure what the big I know they're getting threats. 357 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,839 I got threats to everybody was going to that I 358 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,720 was going to arrest a put in jail, and I'm 359 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,160 going to come find you and kill your family. Okay, 360 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,559 what else do they want of us? Let's require ID. Okay, 361 00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:13,200 that's the name tag for protect sensitive Locations. That's totally 362 00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:17,799 misinformation about ICE rating churches and schools. They chased a 363 00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:21,400 guy one time, five miles who crashed into a school 364 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,680 and they said, oh, you're going into schools. No, they 365 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,960 weren't number five in racial profiling. I agree. So I mean, 366 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,000 I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, this doesn't seem 367 00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:35,079 like it's all that hard to agree to. But that's 368 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:41,200 what the disagreement's about. Republican Congressman from South Florida Carlos Tamenez, 369 00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:46,200 he also doesn't really have a problem with masks. 370 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 8: Depends on the on the issue. I know that one 371 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,400 of the things that they asked for is body cameras 372 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,720 on all ICE agents. I have absolutely no problem with that. 373 00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:55,559 I think I've stated on this show that when I 374 00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:57,799 was mayor of Miami Dade County, one of the One 375 00:24:57,839 --> 00:25:00,480 of the first things I did has the mayor was 376 00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:03,000 also the sheriff of the Miami Day Police Department, was 377 00:25:03,599 --> 00:25:07,160 put body cameras on all our police officers because I 378 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,640 think body cameras can answer a lot of questions that 379 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,319 are left kind of open whenever you know you don't 380 00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:16,759 know exactly what happened in the situation. Body cameras have 381 00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,960 a way of answering those and then putting people's minds 382 00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:26,799 at ease. Most of the time, the officers the events 383 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,319 the way that they saw it. It was actually what happened, 384 00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:32,640 and so we were able to calm down a lot 385 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,920 of the community on let's say, police shootings and all that. 386 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,559 A lot of that was calmed down through the use 387 00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:38,119 of body camera. So I'm using I'm good with that. 388 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,000 As far as unmasking ICE agents, I could also know, 389 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,240 probably not because many of those are involved in undercover 390 00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:46,240 operations and you don't want to put them in danger. 391 00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: Well, I agree with them. One. Undercover officers should stay undercover. 392 00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:53,359 They should not be out there on the front anyway. 393 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,839 They're the ones who do the other type of work. 394 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,079 So I don't see the big disagreement. One of the 395 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,960 things though, that is this isn't about the list. I mean, 396 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,640 we've gone over the we'd go over the list, the 397 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,119 body cameras and mass id all that sort of stuff. 398 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,799 This really comes down to what's the politics behind this? 399 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,920 And the man who answers this just a straight shooting 400 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,160 as you can get, is Senator Mark Wayne Bullen from Oklahoma. 401 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,599 Listen to his theory about why this shut down. 402 00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:29,079 Speaker 9: Well, if we were actually negotiating on actual terms to reopen, yes, 403 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,319 but that's not the state of play here. The state 404 00:26:31,319 --> 00:26:33,200 of play is to be shut down during the state 405 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,039 of the Union for DHS, and that's what has always been. 406 00:26:36,079 --> 00:26:39,960 If it was actual a conversation about reforms, it wouldn't 407 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,599 have taken them ten days to come back with a 408 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,400 proposal after they shut us down almost three weeks ago. 409 00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:49,200 And then when they did send us a proposal, the 410 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,559 White House sent back a rebuttal another proposal that's way 411 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,160 negotiations work, in forty eight hours, and then they wouldn't 412 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,279 even negotiate on another cr The whole state of play 413 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,559 was they knew that himing behind this right when they 414 00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:03,920 shut us down. They knew that we're going into this 415 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,119 holiday weekend, meaning that all TSA. All the federal employees 416 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,880 to which they're holding hostage here through DHS was going 417 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,160 to go ahead and receive their payment, their first paid 418 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,720 or the middle of the month pay check, because they 419 00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:17,400 get paid on the fifteenth and on the first, but 420 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,960 because fifteenth fell yesterday, they got paid on Friday, and 421 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,079 then the first will be after the State of the Union, 422 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,279 and so this isn't about really making changes. This is 423 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,880 just political theater for them to go into because they 424 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,759 can't talk about the border because President Trump has secured that. 425 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,599 They can't talk about the economy because the economy is booming. 426 00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:41,079 They can't talk about taxes because we lower taxes. They 427 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:43,519 can't talk about foreign policy because the world is safer. 428 00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:47,400 They can't talk about anything except more rhetoric about what 429 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,319 they had done here by holding what well employee federal 430 00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:54,559 employees hostage once again like they did just a few 431 00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:54,960 months ago. 432 00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: I think he nailed it. I think that's what it's about. 433 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,759 It's about the politics. State of the Union, by the way, 434 00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:04,839 is week from Tuesday is the twenty fourth of February. 435 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,400 President Trump will give his second State of the Union 436 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,440 in his second term, So that's coming up. Making of 437 00:28:13,519 --> 00:28:16,759 President's I told you about George w Bush writing a 438 00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:21,039 piece on George Washington. President Obama was being interviewed by 439 00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:26,079 a guy who Lean's Left has some podcast. But the 440 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,160 first question that he asked him, and the answer is 441 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,119 getting I don't know some chuckles. Are aliens real? 442 00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 10: They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not 443 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,480 being kept in what is it fifty one? There's no 444 00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:51,839 underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hit 445 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,240 it from the President of the United. 446 00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: States, What was the first question you wanted answered when 447 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,559 you became president? 448 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 10: Where the alien? 449 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,839 Speaker 1: So were the audiences that made me laugh? Yeah, So 450 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,480 he asked them, you know, are are the aliens real? 451 00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:10,319 I think they are. I think there's life out there 452 00:29:10,359 --> 00:29:14,000 besides us, somewhere out in the universe. But that's getting 453 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,039 a lot of attention and it's not political. So I 454 00:29:17,079 --> 00:29:20,359 thought we would plug that in there as well. So 455 00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:22,960 that's it for today. The markets are closed today because 456 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,759 of President's Day. It's actually you know, President's Day was 457 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:30,839 actually supposed to be Washington's birthday, and his birthday is 458 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,920 the twenty second. They had a holiday for Lincoln on 459 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,599 the twelfth and Washington on the twenty second, and somebody said, 460 00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:42,400 that's too many holidays. There's something like twelve, like there 461 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,839 are twelve federal holidays out there, and so they're going, okay, 462 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,279 But it's officially Washington's birthday, but everybody calls it President's Day. 463 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,440 It's really about mattress sales, isn't it, Because all you 464 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,440 hear about is it's President's Day. Go buy a mattress 465 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,480 in any case. Oh and by the way, the president's 466 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:07,359 approval is just in the tank, and everybody in their 467 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,440 brother has him down really far, in the low thirties, 468 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,799 if you will. But the New York Times came out 469 00:30:13,839 --> 00:30:16,960 today and actually has a higher number than most others 470 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,839 as far as approval. Regarding the economy, thirty five percent 471 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,200 of the voters say that Joe Biden was to blame 472 00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:29,640 for the lousy economy. Thirty one percent blame Donald Trump, 473 00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:35,200 thirty three percent say neither but yeah, thirty five percent 474 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,799 blame Biden, thirty one percent blame Trump for the lousy economy. 475 00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:41,680 We'll see if it's lousy. But there's people that are 476 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,079 struggling to try to keep up with bills because the 477 00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:47,279 price of things is not going up as fast, but 478 00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:51,119 it's still most things are still going higher. That's why 479 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,720 we have what was the report to zero point seven 480 00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:58,000 percent inflation something No. Two point five came out just 481 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,279 a couple of days ago. I haven't memorized it. But 482 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,480 everybody's economy is unique to their own circumstances. So that's 483 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,680 it for today. No markets. Markets are closed. We're going 484 00:31:10,759 --> 00:31:14,680 to take a break and be back again tomorrow. Hopefully 485 00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:16,160 we will see you there.
