Speaker 1: And hello, Hello, hello, Hello, Welcome to the Big Podcast
on this Wednesday. Today is the fourth day of February,
Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. My name is
Tom Sullivan. Well, we've got what do we have? We have?
We have the search for Savannah, her mother, you know,
find out where where she is. We've got also the
nationalizing elections. The President talked about that yesterday and is
causing a big backlash today. Minnesota, some big news coming
out of there, Tom Holman at a news conference earlier today.
And a drug lab in Las Vegas. No, no, no,
not like illegal drugs. I'm talking about dangerous drugs that covid,
other kinds of dangerous chemicals that are being that were
discovered in Las Vegas. And it's tied in with a
previous place that was discovered a number of years ago
near Fresno, California. So we've got We've got a lot
to cover today, start with with Savannah Guthrie and her mother.
This is starting to make more sense to me. I
was saying the other day, I thought that maybe this
has something to do with her notoriety with Savannah. Somebody,
some crazy person doesn't like her. And I'm going to
find out where her family. I don't know. Maybe I
thought maybe that might be a connection, but I'm taking
that all back because usually when you have somebody, the
typical story is that all of a sudden, the wife
is missing, and who do you go to. You go
to the husband, you find out they're having trouble in
their marriage, whatever it might be. They're typical stories over
and over again. Well they're not typical, but they happened
enough times, and I'm thinking along the same lines that
this might actually be somebody in the family or somebody
in the neighborhood. I don't think this has anything to
do with Savannah Guthrie's high visibility job. And I'm not
alone in this. There are I heard a neighbor being interviewed,
two neighbors being interviewed earlier today, and they were asked about,
you know, is this something Dommy, Did you know that
this was Savannah Guthrie's mother. The woman that lives in
your neighborhood is the mother of Savannah Guthrie from the
Today Show. And one of them has lived there for
forty years. And she said, I know Nancy very well
and we talked many, many many times. I did not
know that her daughter was the woman on the Today Show.
So they talked to another guy who's lived there for
six years and they said, well, did you know, and
he goes, Nope, I had no idea. Nobody knew that
until all of this publicity. So that's where I'm going, Okay,
even if the neighbors did not know. Then I start
going back to the family and there's a couple of
ransom notes that apparently have been delivered. One of them
was delivered to a television station I believe in Tucson.
The other one was delivered to TMZ, the entertainment show
that Harvey Levin created years ago. So let's start with Harvey,
because he got one of these and he explains what's
the ransom note was all about.
Speaker 2: So we got something in our email that looks like
a It's written like a ransom note for Savannah Guthrie's
mother specifically, and there's very certain amounts of money, very specifically.
And also they say at the bottom there are certain
things they're saying about what she was wearing and damage
to the house, as.
Speaker 3: If clearly saying to verify it's us.
Speaker 2: We know y're talking about it. So we are We've
contacted the Sheriff's department and we want to get them
this letter. And we had a little trouble getting through
to the right person. But the person we spoke with
is now forwarding this to somebody in the detective bureau.
So if my phone rings, I may have to stop.
And what's interesting is, you know, there was just a
news conference that just ended with the sheriff and he
was asked about we're going to do this segment a
few minutes, but he was asked about a ransom note
and he just said, we're following all leads. Yeah, and
this is it's again, we don't know, we don't know
if it's authentic or not. But when you read it,
they're acting as if, yeah, only we would know these things,
and we're serious, and there's a dollar demand and an
or else in there. So we will let you know
as this thing kind of develops.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there you go. There's Harvey Levin and his
crew over at TMC. He is a lawyer, I mean,
so he's not I know him may come across like
a goofball sometimes. But and the fact that they said
that they knew some of the damage inside the house
and other reporters have reported that apparently the house not
only had a ring camera on the front door, which
has been removed. The frame is there, but the camera
is gone. And in the house apparently there's some security
cameras and those were all smashed and broken. Who would
know that? Whoever wrote this letter apparently was describing some
of that. Ashley Banfield, longtime News Nation host, she'd been
a lot of networks over the years, and she's really
into the whole crime scene thing, and so apparently this
was her take on the ransom.
Speaker 4: One law enforcement source, very connected, highly regarded, impeccable credentials,
knowledge of this investigation, says that Thomas so Cioni, Annie P.
Guthrie's husband, maybe the prime suspect in this case. In
Annie's vehicle has been towed, impounded and is now in evidence.
At the very least, let me tamp that down, because
sometimes it's the first person you're looking at, not prime,
as in there's no one else, okay, so let's be
really mindful of that. Families are always looked at first
as well. I can tell you that missus Guthrie had
cameras plural at this home and that they were smashed
but I can tell you they are nest cameras. They
are Nest cameras plural, and that whoever did this may
have smashed those cameras plural, so they're not there, presumably
because law enforcement took those smashed cameras as evidence.
Speaker 1: Okay, who she was talking about was Savannah Guthrie's sister,
Anna is married to a guy that they were apparently
the people that dropped off Nancy at her home Sunday
evening after dinner, So they were the last people to
see here. So I can see how they will go
to them and say, hey, we're what do you know
but towing the car and you bringing it in for
a more in depth investigation into the automobile. Obviously they're
looking at her, the of Nancy, Savannah Guthrie's sister, one
of the daughters of this woman and her husband. But
are they looking at him as a person of interest
or is it just standard investigation that they are the
last people to see Nancy Guthrie and they want to
know more. Charles Ramsey, former police chief in Philadelphia and DC,
this is his observation.
Speaker 5: Well, this has gotten a national attention, I mean very
intense attention from media outlets, and so there's a lot
of information as somebody could include and a letter to
make it sound like their legitimate But in every case,
especially when like this, there's a lot of information that
investigators withhold that only the person responsible for the crime
would know. And if that letter, i'll call it a letter,
whatever it was, letter would happen, If it contains some
of that information, then that gives it the credibility that
you would need in order to really move forward and
process it is a critical piece of evidence.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, So they keep talking about the pacemaker too. And
I made a mistake the other day. I thought, what
the pacemaker wasn't sending a signal? Maybe the hard hit stopped. No,
the pacemaker can keep on working. It's a Bluetooth device
that connects to your phone that you can monitor your
pacemaker if you have one. But it doesn't mean that
if you get far away from your phone, obviously the
bluetooth connection is going to stop sending the signal. Sock.
Charles Ramsey was asked further about that part of the
angle to the investigation.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean two am. That tells you that the
crime could have happened right around that time. Within that window,
the pacemaker would be the signal would be picked up
by her iPhone the bluetooth connection, I would image. Once
you get a certain distance away from that, you no
longer received the signal, And so that gives you a
time a window as to when this might have occurred. Now,
there's still a lot we don't know, and that is
was there a forced entry or not. My understanding is
that from one of the reporters that you had at
the scene, that the family when they first arrived at
the house thought that maybe she had a medical emergency
and she was at a hospital. Well, that would indicate
to me that maybe it was an obvious forced entry,
But that doesn't mean it couldn't have been a window,
or there couldn't have been some other way that a
person could gain access.
Speaker 3: So there's still a lot.
Speaker 5: Of unanswered questions in this case. But the bottom line
is we can only hope and pray that she's still around,
that she's still alive. She's got medical conditions, she needs medication.
It's been several days now where she has not had
that medication, and that does not bode well.
Speaker 1: So the ransom notes, chief, what do you make of
the ransom note that have been received.
Speaker 5: Well, the sheriff is right, you take them all seriously. Now,
it may or may not turn out to be credible.
We do have people that do that sort of thing,
even though they're not involved in the case unfortunately, but
you have to take it very very seriously. Now, what
we don't know is whether or not was this a
written note or letter that was this transmitted electronically. I mean,
there's a lot we don't know, and the kind of
detail that would be included in a note like that
that would give the reader the understanding that they in
fact were responsible for this abduction. But before anything else
is done, I would imagine that you certainly would want
some proof of life, just to make sure that missus
Guthrie is still alive.
Speaker 1: So the ransom notes essentially were asking for two million
dollars worth of crypto and they wanted the money to
be the crypto coins, the bitcoins to be delivered, and
that's what they're that's what they're looking for. Is it's
all that way supposedly non traceable. But the real question
comes down to was there anything in the note that
the two notes that lets the investigators know that they
had information that the public would not know, and if so,
they should be taken legitimately. Another former FBI investigator, James Gagliano,
talked about this case today.
Speaker 6: Yet sometimes I think when we're putting information out from
a law enforcement perspective, less is more. Clearly, this is
an unusual case, as the President has described. I'm surprised
by a couple of things. One, why did they release
the crime scene so soon? You still had the blood
spatter on the front porch. I feel like they should
have kept that under wrap. It's a little while longer.
Number Two, we're struggling here because we're used to Manhattan
cases where every inch of the city is covered in
surveillance cameras.
Speaker 3: Not the case out in the Southwest.
Speaker 6: This is a border town, only sixty miles apart from
the Mexican border.
Speaker 3: And here's the thing with the Dark Skies initiative.
Speaker 6: Lots of neighborhoods out there do not want light pollution,
and I think I believe that has made this a
much more difficult investigation.
Speaker 1: One of the neighbors, his name is Tom Pugh, talks
about the fact that they they like the no street
lights so they can look at the beautiful stars.
Speaker 7: Fifty years i've lived here, I've never heard of any
crime like this. It's a friendly neighborhood. It's a very
comfortable place to live. There aren't street lights here because
the sky is one of the most perfect skies to
be seen, and so people like dark skies and are
really afraid of the dark. So that's an indication that's
not an area where people are particularly apprehend So.
Speaker 1: Actually it sounds nice no street lights out in the desert,
way far away from big city lights. I'll bit you.
The sky is sparkling, back to James Gagliano.
Speaker 3: So we know this is a rural area. And here's
the thing.
Speaker 6: The crime scene is thirty one hundred square feet inside
that house. Then you've obviously got an acre or so
outside that property, and you've got lots of desert out there.
So again, I don't know why there's this rush to
put this information out. I learned in the business a
long time ago, better to be late and right than.
Speaker 3: Early and wrong.
Speaker 6: And what happens is it gives the public less trust
and confidence. Look, the Pima County Sheriff's Office, they've got
a tough job.
Speaker 3: They've got their.
Speaker 6: Best homicide detectives on this case. They're working with the FBI.
Here's the secret. The secret is going to be that
cell phone. The cellar analysis survey team is going through
that right now and scrubbing all the digital exhaust That
is going to be huge. Two other things they need
to do. One, take a look at anybody that might
have come into Missus Guthrie's life at any point in
time across the last month. Somebody who changed the windows out,
somebody that cleaned the pool. And lastly, this is something
I've not heard talked about, check on releases from local
prisons and federal penitentiaries in the area to see if
anybody with this type of mo might have been released soon.
Speaker 3: Those are just leads, but those are goodness.
Speaker 1: Okay. So Gagliano thinks the phones are going to be critical.
Paul Morrow, he's focusing in on the cameras.
Speaker 8: All reporting up to the cloud from the cameras. To me,
it was the most salient thing. My understanding was that
there are a number of exterior cameras there that were
ostensibly active, and the Sheriff's office has been saying they
haven't been able to access the content of that. A
number of us, A number of US were wondering why
every law enforcement officer has had this circumstance. So you're
at a crime scene, you see the cameras, you think
you're going to get great information, and then when the
time comes to download it, it turns out that somebody
changed an email, the critic card to the billing changed
or something. As a result, it's not in the clouds,
saying I hope it's in the server, which means likely
it reported to her computer or some other computer, and
that they should have been able to get into very quickly.
So maybe they're still having password problems. That's why it's
good to have the FBI when it comes to stuff
like this. FBI is very good at handling technical challenges
that maybe the Sheriff's office might not be a similiar with.
Speaker 1: So this whole business about passwords and all kinds of
different ways to get into technology, Paul Morrow kind of
issues a tip for everyone to make sure that somebody
knows how to get into your equipment in case your phones,
your laptops, your tablets, whatever it might be, so that
in case something happens, people can dig into your information.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean yeah, and every cop has had a circumstance.
We have a phone you have to get into and
very often it's not an adversarial situation, just nobody thought
to write it down for a loved one, etc. Now, look,
generally this comes up in the context of children, but
kids don't want to give it, and if they do,
they'll change it behind your back and all that stuff.
But if you have an elderly person in your life,
just ask them to write it down if they don't
want to give it to you, and leave it someplace
you can find.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 8: Doesn't have to be a circumstance as dramatic as this,
but we all can conjure circumstances where you would need
to get into that with a loved one is not available.
Such a simple thing, and yes, something that very very
few people think to do. So I would urge people
to just, you know, if you have an elderly person
in your life, just have them write it down someplace
that you can get to it if you need it.
Speaker 1: So I've found a couple of things out of the
people that we just listened to, One of them was
back to Harvey eleven over at TMZ. He said they
had trouble trying to get a hold of and report
the fact that they got a ransom letter, and they say,
you know, call one eight hundred FBI help or something
like that, and you go. But it's not as they think.
It sounds so simple. And here's Harvey Levin, who kind
of knows his way around, could not get through the
right people to report the fact that he received a
ransom letter. You would think that would be pretty important,
but apparently, I don't know if they have, like the
switchboard operator is the only person at the Sheriff's department
in Pma County that's taking incoming calls, whether they have
a fleet of detectives. And then the other one was
Paul Moore brought it up the fact that the Pema
County sheriff is saying they're having trouble trying to get
the video from all these cameras and the sheriff did
not understand that the camera did not have film in it. Oh,
he had did not over that it would go to
your device or it would go to a cloud, and
he doesn't know how to get it. You would think
somebody would help him with that, but it sounds like
technologically they're not on the cutting edge, and I think
everybody who was trying to be nice and not criticized,
but man, I thought it was pretty obvious. Minnesota big.
I think big news today from Minnesota. Tom Holman had
a news conference early this morning in Minneapolis, and during
that news conference, he made some pretty important announcements.
Speaker 9: Listen, thirty years ago in Dallas, Texas, had been with
the Borgatow's entire career. During my press conference last week,
I reported I had productive discussions with various state and
local officials, including Governor, Attorney General, Mayor Fry, and law
enforcement officials about increasing coordination in a lawful way between
the county jails and ICE to avoid public safety threats
being released back in the community. Well, we had our differences,
one thing was clear. We all committed to public safety
for all who live in the Twin Cities. We have
mass significant progress under the direction of President Trump working
with state and local officials here in Minnesota, and I
expect that to increase in the coming weeks. We continue
to have discussions. I'll have discussions this afternoon. We currently
have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with US now
and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens before
they hit the streets. Unprecedented cooperation. Now say it again,
this is efficient. Requires only one or two officers to
assume custody of a criminal alien target, rather than eight
or ten officers going into the community and arrest in
that public safety threat. This frees up more officers to
arrest remove criminal aliens. Taking custody of criminal aliens directly
from the jails means less offers on the street doing
criminal operations. This is smart law enforcement, not less law enforcement.
It is safer for the community, safer for the officers,
and safer for the alien. This coordination also makes it
far more safe for the twin cities a rest in
a public safety threat and the safety and security of
a jail. This is the safest thing we could do. Further,
less public safety risks are being released back into the
communities reduces recidivism, so local law enforcement can direct their
limited resources to other public safety matters in their community.
This is another priority to President Trump. The state prisons
already cooperated on this coordinated transfer of custody, and we
thank them for that partnership, and we plan to do
more with them. Also want to reiterate and emphasize we
are not requiring jails to hold people past their normal
release time for immigration purposes. We're not asking anyone to
be an immigration officer. We are not asking any state
or local official to do immigration enforcement activity.
Speaker 3: They are not.
Speaker 9: By merely notifying us before they release them, they don't
hold them one minute pass they normally would. Given this
increase in unprecedented collaboration, and as a result of the
need for less law enforcement officers to do this work
in a safer environment, I have announced, effective immediately, we
will draw down seven hundred people affected today.
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty amazing unpressed cooperation all of
a sudden. Well, the sheriffs, he said, are all say
they'll cooperate. They will notify ICE before they release somebody.
And the sheriffs, as if I've reminded you many times,
are elected by the people. They don't answer to a mayor,
they don't answer to a governor. They're elected by the
people in their county. And they're all on board with
doing this. And apparently now and the state, the state
prisons are notifying ICE before they release somebody. And now
the City of Minneapolis unprecedented cooperation. So I don't know
Tom Holman is a good salesman apparently, so he went
on for some time and then listened to this reporter
asked him about, Okay, if you're drawing down seven hundred people,
ICE officers, give me the rest of the math.
Speaker 9: But I'm not going to share or to anybody that
they failed. It was a great operation. We took a
lot of publish safety threats. Office three.
Speaker 10: Can I ask a quick numerical just clarification. I think
it's my main question. Please, So seven hundred leaving effective immediately,
how many will that leave here once that.
Speaker 3: Group is out.
Speaker 9: Right around two thousand.
Speaker 10: And what is the pre operation foot practice?
Speaker 9: Well, one hundred and fifty hundred fifty is normal. Well,
we got a memory now that we have specialization special
agents on detail here doing the fraud investigation. They're not
going anywhere. They're going to finish their job. I'm talking
about immigration and forcem efforts understood.
Speaker 10: So then my main question is just we talked to
people who say they're protesting not the arrests of people
with criminal backgrounds, but things like broad ICE controls, random
citizenship checks of people of color, and the detainment but
no charges of US citizens. So have you committed or
will you commit to officers on the ground here seeing
those actions.
Speaker 9: What I have would make player we're doing targeted enforcement operation.
When we leave this building, we know who we're looking
for or we're most likely to find them, what their
immigration record is, what the criminal criminal record is. But
as we continue to be forced in the communities, when
we go to rest at criminal target, if we find
an illegal alien there, they're coming. We're not going to
turn the blind eyed illeg immigration. That's why this is
that's why this partnership and this coordination is so important.
We're much rather work in the safety and security of jail. Look,
I go to bed every night wonder if every one
of our officers go home safely. I also am concerned
that every person we're looking for go you know, is
taking their customers safely. The best way to do that
is to have a targeting enforcement operation. While planning operation,
let's wave you down for decades, so expect you to.
Speaker 10: See no more of that pardon should we expect to
see no more of those citizenship checks.
Speaker 9: I have directed, I have directed target enforcement operations, and
we'll hold our officers to the highest standards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got the failing the time home and means business,
and the officers know it, and they've been told targeted only.
That's what we're going to do, and we're going to
operate within the laws and the rules. We're going to
draw down. So the math is they have obviously two
seven hundred officers there. Seven hundred are being withdrawn today.
That leaves about two thousand. The normal is about one
hundred and fifty. So they what he was talking about
is a long news conference talking about as long as
the cooperation between the cities and counties and the state
on turning over people on a detainer orders, then they
will continue to draw the people down. So there's a
motivation for everybody to basically be nice and the officers
will be drawn down. The number of people being arrested
will continue. But he also said there's another group there.
It's in looking at the fraud in Minnesota, and that's
not his wheelhouse. So I thought it was a very
positive event that after all of this were the governor
and the mayor and everybody saying we're not going to cooperate.
Out now all of a sudden they're cooperating. We'll see
how long it lasts. All right, nationalizing elections. President brought
this up, and I cannot tell you. I told you before.
I agree with about eighty percent of what Donald Trump does.
I don't care for a lot of his the way
he does it. But the idea is this one I don't.
This is not a good idea. This is an idea.
Nationalizing elections is something that conservatives have fought for years.
Listen to this. Here's John Thune from two thousand twenty one,
so be four years ago, and Republicans and conservatives used
to be admirant about. I'm a big small government guy.
I the less I want, I want the less federal
government the better. The more government that you have to have,
I'd rather be nice and close either your city government,
or your county government, or your state government. But the
federal government should not get more power. But here's John
Thune from four years ago speaking on this exact topic
when the Democrats wanted to do federalized nationalized elections.
Speaker 11: Federal takeovers are being discussed in both the House and
the Senate. This week, the Democrat leaders announced that the
Senate will once again be taking up legislation to put
the federal government instead of the states in charge of
elections in this country. So what's up with all these
federal takeovers. Well, Democrats have been pushing election legislation, what
they call HR one or the Four of the People Act,
for multiple years now. This radical legislation would provide for
a massive federal takeover of our electoral system, chill free speech,
and turn the Federal Election Commission, which is the primary
enforcer of election law in this country, into a partisan body,
among other dangerous measures.
Speaker 3: And the reason the.
Speaker 11: Reason for this radical legislation, well as even some Democrats
have implicitly admitted, this legislation is designed to make it
easier for Democrats to win elections.
Speaker 3: Fast forward to last week.
Speaker 11: With HR one unable to pass the Senate, some Democrats
produced a modified version of this legislations called for the
People Act Light And while I appreciate their efforts, unfortunately,
as the Republican leader said yesterday morning, this latest version
is only a compromise in the sense that the center
left compromised with the far left.
Speaker 1: What he was talking about, what he was objecting to,
he called it for the people. That was the name
of the of the proposed law. It was HR one
for the People. Guess who was the author of it.
Guess who was the person who wanted to federalize elections
in twenty twenty one. That would be Nancy Pelosi. She
was the one driving that hard. And now Donald Trump
is proposing the exact same thing. I'm going, what's what happened?
How did Donald Trump get on board with a Nancy
Pelosi idea? So that was John Thune from two thousand.
Look it up HR One for the People Act twenty
twenty one. John Thune was against it, then he's against it.
Now Ran Paul also weighing in, but you would expect
him to he's kind of a maverick, but not on this.
He's standing by the rules.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's not what the Constitution says about elections. There
is some dispute has gone to the Supreme Court about
whether federal elections are different than state elections, and the
Supreme Court did rule that, for example, Washington State can't
set term limits on federal officials. If Georgia does it,
it has to be a uniform election law as far
as the time plays, as far as the time, place,
and manner of the elections. That under the Constitution is
a state activity. So I'm not for nationalizing, and I
was against Nancy Pelosi's bill which would have nationalized it.
But I would also be against any bill coming from
this administration that would nationalize elections.
Speaker 1: Here's what the President said about it yesterday in the
Oval Office.
Speaker 13: The state is an agent for the federal government and elections.
I don't know why the federal government fits into him anyway.
Take a look at Detroit, take a look at Pennsylvania,
to take a look at Philadelphia. You go take a
look at Atlanta, look at some of the places that
horrible corruption on elections, and the federal government should not
allow that. The federal government should get involved.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And I think what it really
comes down to is I think Republicans and I'm going
to guess President Trump is worried at the midterms coming
up in November. The polling is not looking good. And historically,
like we've talked about, the party out of power in
the White House has usually gained seats in the off
of the midterm election. But the polling is really bad,
and Trumps, we know, will do or say anything he
can to get an election going. I mean, it goes
back to the question about I know he's upset about
twenty twenty. He keeps saying that that was rigged and stolen.
But if so, then how come twenty twenty four wasn't
Ben Ginsburg longtime Republican lawyer. He's an election lawyer and
he works for Republicans, And this is what Ben Ginsburg said.
Speaker 14: Well, I think it's wrong.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 14: They've had lots of opportunities to present evidence to back
up with the president's electing and in sixty four core
cases after the twenty twenty election, ample opportunities in suits
filed before the twenty twenty four elections, no proof, no
evidence has come out. You know, it's striking that they
would go in in subpoena do an FBI raid of
Fulton County for the twenty twenty elections which Trump lost,
and not to one for twenty twenty four, which you want.
So presumably even the President recognizes that Fulton County fixed
its problems.
Speaker 1: And what bothers me about the fact that the FBI
went in and took out seven hundred boxes from Fulton County,
Georgia from the twenty twenty election, not twenty twenty four,
but the twenty twenty one. What is the FBI doing
involved in that. This is something that belongs to the states,
and it's ballots. You're ballot if you're in Georgia. But
I mean, are they going to do this to your state?
I thought always thought my ballot was a secret ballot,
and now they can go in and mess around with
the ballots, see how you voted, and maybe even make
some changes to it. Ginsburg continues, state.
Speaker 14: Did was break what's known as the chain of custody,
which means that the ballots are kept without prying eyes
and prying hands who might actually change the materials. What
the FBI did here was, I think break the chain
of custody, which means the materials are subject to manipulation,
nobody's watching over them. And that also means that if
they ever try and bring any prosecutions as a result
of this, they no doubt will fail because there are
guarantees that the ballots are kept securely and they're not
being manipulated.
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want the federal government touching
my ballot going in. No, keep your hands off, your
grubby hands off of my ballot. Steve Bannon, though Steve
Bannon has a very different aggressive view on this.
Speaker 15: You're damn right, We're gonna have ice surround the polls
come November. We're not going to sit here and allow
you to steal the country again. And you can whine
and cry and throw your toys out of the prim
all you want, but we will never again allow an
election to be stolen.
Speaker 1: But if twenty twenty four turned out the way you want,
is it only stolen if your side doesn't win? Is
that what that means? So this, I hope goes absolutely nowhere.
It's constitutionally clearly violation of the constitution. But see Bannon's
all all for it. Meanwhile, in non political news, this
is out of Las Vegas. Las Vegas Police Department was
alerted to the fact that there was a house that
somebody was renting and in that house there were all
kinds of chemical labs and who knows what they were
working on. Here's the Las Vegas Sheriff talking about the bust.
Speaker 16: The nature of that earlier investor investigation raised significant concern
for what we might encounter in this new case. While
it is unknown whether similar materials were present here at
the Las Vegas residents, the possibility required us to proceed
with extreme caution.
Speaker 1: Yeah, extreme caution because you don't know what these chemicals are.
So people in moonsuits went in to figure out what
was being stored in this house. Cash Patel, FBI director,
mentioned it last night.
Speaker 17: What we have to do is take these thousand samples,
ship them across the country, which we did overnight, and
have our lab analyze them. And once we have those results,
then we can produce further obviously.
Speaker 1: So it turns out that the person renting this Las
Vegas home is a Chinese national. His name is I'm
gonna botch it, but a Jeab's zoo, and the home
is rated by the FBI. In the Las Vegas Metro
Police back well, it's tied into another raid. This is
the same individual arrested in October of twenty twenty three
for an unlicensed lab in Redley, California. It contained thousands
of fials of biological materials including COVID nineteen HIV and malaria.
So this guy plays around with some pretty dangerous stuff.
The person arrested by the Las Vegas police was also
a guy named Ari Solomon. He's fifty five, identified as
the property manager for this residence and the main agent
and conspirator they called him for this gab Zoo so
in the Las Vegas garage refrigerators with files containing unknown
liquids assistant with the same stuff they found in Riedley,
California in twenty twenty three. Mister Zoo is in federal
custody in the California case. So this other guy, this
Ariy Solomon, was booked into the Clark County Jail on
charges related to the improper disposal of hazardous ways. So
it's I don't know. I'm glad to see they got
the guy locked up from the California case. But man,
how many more of these are going on? And why
is a guy from China doing this? Let's check Wall
Street the Dow, it was all over the map. It
was started off up, then fell, then came roaring back
to a nice gain of two hundred and sixty points
the now forty nine thousand and five one. But the
rest of the market down s and p down thirty
five NASDAK. A lot of that is software stocks are
being raped by the fact that a lot of people
are thinking AI will be able to write your software
for you. You don't need a software company to do it.
So the software company has got hammered again, Nasdack down
three hundred and fifty, the twenty two thousand and nine
oh four price of gold marching higher up to fifty
one dollars to four thousand, ninety eighty six, and oil
creeping up another bucket a quarter today now at sixty
four dollars for one barrel of oil. Thank you for
coming by. We will be back again tomorrow. Hope to
see you then
