1
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,039
Speaker 1: And hello, Hello, hello, Hello, Welcome to the Big Podcast

2
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,199
on this Wednesday. Today is the fourth day of February,

3
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:34,159
Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. My name is

4
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,960
Tom Sullivan. Well, we've got what do we have? We have?

5
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:46,320
We have the search for Savannah, her mother, you know,

6
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:52,960
find out where where she is. We've got also the

7
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:56,560
nationalizing elections. The President talked about that yesterday and is

8
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,119
causing a big backlash today. Minnesota, some big news coming

9
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:04,680
out of there, Tom Holman at a news conference earlier today.

10
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:11,400
And a drug lab in Las Vegas. No, no, no,

11
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:16,519
not like illegal drugs. I'm talking about dangerous drugs that covid,

12
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,840
other kinds of dangerous chemicals that are being that were

13
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:23,640
discovered in Las Vegas. And it's tied in with a

14
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:26,680
previous place that was discovered a number of years ago

15
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,120
near Fresno, California. So we've got We've got a lot

16
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:35,879
to cover today, start with with Savannah Guthrie and her mother.

17
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,159
This is starting to make more sense to me. I

18
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,840
was saying the other day, I thought that maybe this

19
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,920
has something to do with her notoriety with Savannah. Somebody,

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,040
some crazy person doesn't like her. And I'm going to

21
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,560
find out where her family. I don't know. Maybe I

22
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:56,519
thought maybe that might be a connection, but I'm taking

23
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,640
that all back because usually when you have somebody, the

24
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,560
typical story is that all of a sudden, the wife

25
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:09,479
is missing, and who do you go to. You go

26
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,919
to the husband, you find out they're having trouble in

27
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,719
their marriage, whatever it might be. They're typical stories over

28
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:18,599
and over again. Well they're not typical, but they happened

29
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:22,400
enough times, and I'm thinking along the same lines that

30
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:29,120
this might actually be somebody in the family or somebody

31
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,879
in the neighborhood. I don't think this has anything to

32
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,360
do with Savannah Guthrie's high visibility job. And I'm not

33
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:43,199
alone in this. There are I heard a neighbor being interviewed,

34
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:49,000
two neighbors being interviewed earlier today, and they were asked about,

35
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:52,719
you know, is this something Dommy, Did you know that

36
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,520
this was Savannah Guthrie's mother. The woman that lives in

37
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,599
your neighborhood is the mother of Savannah Guthrie from the

38
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:03,759
Today Show. And one of them has lived there for

39
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:09,719
forty years. And she said, I know Nancy very well

40
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,360
and we talked many, many many times. I did not

41
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,639
know that her daughter was the woman on the Today Show.

42
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,879
So they talked to another guy who's lived there for

43
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,199
six years and they said, well, did you know, and

44
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,120
he goes, Nope, I had no idea. Nobody knew that

45
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,879
until all of this publicity. So that's where I'm going, Okay,

46
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,199
even if the neighbors did not know. Then I start

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,599
going back to the family and there's a couple of

48
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,800
ransom notes that apparently have been delivered. One of them

49
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,639
was delivered to a television station I believe in Tucson.

50
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:53,199
The other one was delivered to TMZ, the entertainment show

51
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:58,360
that Harvey Levin created years ago. So let's start with Harvey,

52
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,360
because he got one of these and he explains what's

53
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:04,000
the ransom note was all about.

54
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: So we got something in our email that looks like

55
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,840
a It's written like a ransom note for Savannah Guthrie's

56
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:19,959
mother specifically, and there's very certain amounts of money, very specifically.

57
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,800
And also they say at the bottom there are certain

58
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,240
things they're saying about what she was wearing and damage

59
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,199
to the house, as.

60
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: If clearly saying to verify it's us.

61
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: We know y're talking about it. So we are We've

62
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,759
contacted the Sheriff's department and we want to get them

63
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:43,079
this letter. And we had a little trouble getting through

64
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,319
to the right person. But the person we spoke with

65
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,839
is now forwarding this to somebody in the detective bureau.

66
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:53,720
So if my phone rings, I may have to stop.

67
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:56,800
And what's interesting is, you know, there was just a

68
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,720
news conference that just ended with the sheriff and he

69
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,439
was asked about we're going to do this segment a

70
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,319
few minutes, but he was asked about a ransom note

71
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,720
and he just said, we're following all leads. Yeah, and

72
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,480
this is it's again, we don't know, we don't know

73
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,480
if it's authentic or not. But when you read it,

74
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:21,199
they're acting as if, yeah, only we would know these things,

75
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:25,199
and we're serious, and there's a dollar demand and an

76
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:28,959
or else in there. So we will let you know

77
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,319
as this thing kind of develops.

78
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there you go. There's Harvey Levin and his

79
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:40,199
crew over at TMC. He is a lawyer, I mean,

80
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,560
so he's not I know him may come across like

81
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,920
a goofball sometimes. But and the fact that they said

82
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,959
that they knew some of the damage inside the house

83
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,480
and other reporters have reported that apparently the house not

84
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,240
only had a ring camera on the front door, which

85
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,240
has been removed. The frame is there, but the camera

86
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:01,480
is gone. And in the house apparently there's some security

87
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:08,079
cameras and those were all smashed and broken. Who would

88
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,279
know that? Whoever wrote this letter apparently was describing some

89
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:17,720
of that. Ashley Banfield, longtime News Nation host, she'd been

90
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,040
a lot of networks over the years, and she's really

91
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:25,639
into the whole crime scene thing, and so apparently this

92
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,560
was her take on the ransom.

93
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:34,759
Speaker 4: One law enforcement source, very connected, highly regarded, impeccable credentials,

94
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:41,240
knowledge of this investigation, says that Thomas so Cioni, Annie P.

95
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:44,319
Guthrie's husband, maybe the prime suspect in this case. In

96
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:50,279
Annie's vehicle has been towed, impounded and is now in evidence.

97
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:54,160
At the very least, let me tamp that down, because

98
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,959
sometimes it's the first person you're looking at, not prime,

99
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:01,000
as in there's no one else, okay, so let's be

100
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:04,439
really mindful of that. Families are always looked at first

101
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:09,079
as well. I can tell you that missus Guthrie had

102
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:13,480
cameras plural at this home and that they were smashed

103
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,279
but I can tell you they are nest cameras. They

104
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:19,959
are Nest cameras plural, and that whoever did this may

105
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,560
have smashed those cameras plural, so they're not there, presumably

106
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,279
because law enforcement took those smashed cameras as evidence.

107
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: Okay, who she was talking about was Savannah Guthrie's sister,

108
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:39,800
Anna is married to a guy that they were apparently

109
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,240
the people that dropped off Nancy at her home Sunday

110
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:47,639
evening after dinner, So they were the last people to

111
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,079
see here. So I can see how they will go

112
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,879
to them and say, hey, we're what do you know

113
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:57,240
but towing the car and you bringing it in for

114
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,319
a more in depth investigation into the automobile. Obviously they're

115
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,839
looking at her, the of Nancy, Savannah Guthrie's sister, one

116
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:12,120
of the daughters of this woman and her husband. But

117
00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:14,519
are they looking at him as a person of interest

118
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,360
or is it just standard investigation that they are the

119
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:21,879
last people to see Nancy Guthrie and they want to

120
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:26,560
know more. Charles Ramsey, former police chief in Philadelphia and DC,

121
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:28,959
this is his observation.

122
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 5: Well, this has gotten a national attention, I mean very

123
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,360
intense attention from media outlets, and so there's a lot

124
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,159
of information as somebody could include and a letter to

125
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,240
make it sound like their legitimate But in every case,

126
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,840
especially when like this, there's a lot of information that

127
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:53,879
investigators withhold that only the person responsible for the crime

128
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,320
would know. And if that letter, i'll call it a letter,

129
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,559
whatever it was, letter would happen, If it contains some

130
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:05,519
of that information, then that gives it the credibility that

131
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,240
you would need in order to really move forward and

132
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,279
process it is a critical piece of evidence.

133
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

134
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: Right, So they keep talking about the pacemaker too. And

135
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,840
I made a mistake the other day. I thought, what

136
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:19,720
the pacemaker wasn't sending a signal? Maybe the hard hit stopped. No,

137
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,240
the pacemaker can keep on working. It's a Bluetooth device

138
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,039
that connects to your phone that you can monitor your

139
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,960
pacemaker if you have one. But it doesn't mean that

140
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:31,399
if you get far away from your phone, obviously the

141
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,840
bluetooth connection is going to stop sending the signal. Sock.

142
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:41,480
Charles Ramsey was asked further about that part of the

143
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:42,759
angle to the investigation.

144
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:49,159
Speaker 5: Well, I mean two am. That tells you that the

145
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:53,000
crime could have happened right around that time. Within that window,

146
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:56,919
the pacemaker would be the signal would be picked up

147
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,320
by her iPhone the bluetooth connection, I would image. Once

148
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,639
you get a certain distance away from that, you no

149
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,559
longer received the signal, And so that gives you a

150
00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:11,200
time a window as to when this might have occurred. Now,

151
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,200
there's still a lot we don't know, and that is

152
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,600
was there a forced entry or not. My understanding is

153
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,159
that from one of the reporters that you had at

154
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:23,480
the scene, that the family when they first arrived at

155
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:26,000
the house thought that maybe she had a medical emergency

156
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:28,480
and she was at a hospital. Well, that would indicate

157
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,519
to me that maybe it was an obvious forced entry,

158
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:32,840
But that doesn't mean it couldn't have been a window,

159
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,440
or there couldn't have been some other way that a

160
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,960
person could gain access.

161
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,399
Speaker 3: So there's still a lot.

162
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 5: Of unanswered questions in this case. But the bottom line

163
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,360
is we can only hope and pray that she's still around,

164
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,240
that she's still alive. She's got medical conditions, she needs medication.

165
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,919
It's been several days now where she has not had

166
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,080
that medication, and that does not bode well.

167
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: So the ransom notes, chief, what do you make of

168
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,720
the ransom note that have been received.

169
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: Well, the sheriff is right, you take them all seriously. Now,

170
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,279
it may or may not turn out to be credible.

171
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,240
We do have people that do that sort of thing,

172
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,720
even though they're not involved in the case unfortunately, but

173
00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:18,320
you have to take it very very seriously. Now, what

174
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,080
we don't know is whether or not was this a

175
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:25,639
written note or letter that was this transmitted electronically. I mean,

176
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,120
there's a lot we don't know, and the kind of

177
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:32,080
detail that would be included in a note like that

178
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,360
that would give the reader the understanding that they in

179
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,919
fact were responsible for this abduction. But before anything else

180
00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:45,320
is done, I would imagine that you certainly would want

181
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,879
some proof of life, just to make sure that missus

182
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:52,960
Guthrie is still alive.

183
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,759
Speaker 1: So the ransom notes essentially were asking for two million

184
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:05,000
dollars worth of crypto and they wanted the money to

185
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,840
be the crypto coins, the bitcoins to be delivered, and

186
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:12,600
that's what they're that's what they're looking for. Is it's

187
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:18,639
all that way supposedly non traceable. But the real question

188
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,399
comes down to was there anything in the note that

189
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,600
the two notes that lets the investigators know that they

190
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,879
had information that the public would not know, and if so,

191
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:35,240
they should be taken legitimately. Another former FBI investigator, James Gagliano,

192
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:37,799
talked about this case today.

193
00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 6: Yet sometimes I think when we're putting information out from

194
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,759
a law enforcement perspective, less is more. Clearly, this is

195
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:49,720
an unusual case, as the President has described. I'm surprised

196
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:53,159
by a couple of things. One, why did they release

197
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:56,000
the crime scene so soon? You still had the blood

198
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
spatter on the front porch. I feel like they should

199
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:01,279
have kept that under wrap. It's a little while longer.

200
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,200
Number Two, we're struggling here because we're used to Manhattan

201
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,279
cases where every inch of the city is covered in

202
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,360
surveillance cameras.

203
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:11,519
Speaker 3: Not the case out in the Southwest.

204
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:14,639
Speaker 6: This is a border town, only sixty miles apart from

205
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:15,639
the Mexican border.

206
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: And here's the thing with the Dark Skies initiative.

207
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 6: Lots of neighborhoods out there do not want light pollution,

208
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,279
and I think I believe that has made this a

209
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,919
much more difficult investigation.

210
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: One of the neighbors, his name is Tom Pugh, talks

211
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,279
about the fact that they they like the no street

212
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,159
lights so they can look at the beautiful stars.

213
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:38,799
Speaker 7: Fifty years i've lived here, I've never heard of any

214
00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:43,039
crime like this. It's a friendly neighborhood. It's a very

215
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,399
comfortable place to live. There aren't street lights here because

216
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:49,639
the sky is one of the most perfect skies to

217
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,559
be seen, and so people like dark skies and are

218
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,440
really afraid of the dark. So that's an indication that's

219
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,120
not an area where people are particularly apprehend So.

220
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,399
Speaker 1: Actually it sounds nice no street lights out in the desert,

221
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,440
way far away from big city lights. I'll bit you.

222
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,799
The sky is sparkling, back to James Gagliano.

223
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,799
Speaker 3: So we know this is a rural area. And here's

224
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,279
the thing.

225
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 6: The crime scene is thirty one hundred square feet inside

226
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,759
that house. Then you've obviously got an acre or so

227
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:25,399
outside that property, and you've got lots of desert out there.

228
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,960
So again, I don't know why there's this rush to

229
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,759
put this information out. I learned in the business a

230
00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:34,159
long time ago, better to be late and right than.

231
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: Early and wrong.

232
00:14:34,879 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 6: And what happens is it gives the public less trust

233
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:42,000
and confidence. Look, the Pima County Sheriff's Office, they've got

234
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:42,720
a tough job.

235
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:43,399
Speaker 3: They've got their.

236
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 6: Best homicide detectives on this case. They're working with the FBI.

237
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,440
Here's the secret. The secret is going to be that

238
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,399
cell phone. The cellar analysis survey team is going through

239
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:58,080
that right now and scrubbing all the digital exhaust That

240
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,480
is going to be huge. Two other things they need

241
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:03,799
to do. One, take a look at anybody that might

242
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:06,159
have come into Missus Guthrie's life at any point in

243
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,440
time across the last month. Somebody who changed the windows out,

244
00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:12,720
somebody that cleaned the pool. And lastly, this is something

245
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:16,519
I've not heard talked about, check on releases from local

246
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:20,840
prisons and federal penitentiaries in the area to see if

247
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,440
anybody with this type of mo might have been released soon.

248
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: Those are just leads, but those are goodness.

249
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,559
Speaker 1: Okay. So Gagliano thinks the phones are going to be critical.

250
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:34,480
Paul Morrow, he's focusing in on the cameras.

251
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 8: All reporting up to the cloud from the cameras. To me,

252
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:40,559
it was the most salient thing. My understanding was that

253
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,519
there are a number of exterior cameras there that were

254
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:47,360
ostensibly active, and the Sheriff's office has been saying they

255
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,279
haven't been able to access the content of that. A

256
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,039
number of us, A number of US were wondering why

257
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:56,159
every law enforcement officer has had this circumstance. So you're

258
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,159
at a crime scene, you see the cameras, you think

259
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600
you're going to get great information, and then when the

260
00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:04,039
time comes to download it, it turns out that somebody

261
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,559
changed an email, the critic card to the billing changed

262
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,840
or something. As a result, it's not in the clouds,

263
00:16:10,879 --> 00:16:13,879
saying I hope it's in the server, which means likely

264
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,159
it reported to her computer or some other computer, and

265
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,440
that they should have been able to get into very quickly.

266
00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:23,480
So maybe they're still having password problems. That's why it's

267
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,279
good to have the FBI when it comes to stuff

268
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,840
like this. FBI is very good at handling technical challenges

269
00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:31,480
that maybe the Sheriff's office might not be a similiar with.

270
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: So this whole business about passwords and all kinds of

271
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,399
different ways to get into technology, Paul Morrow kind of

272
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:45,559
issues a tip for everyone to make sure that somebody

273
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,039
knows how to get into your equipment in case your phones,

274
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:54,639
your laptops, your tablets, whatever it might be, so that

275
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:58,360
in case something happens, people can dig into your information.

276
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:01,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean yeah, and every cop has had a circumstance.

277
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:03,080
We have a phone you have to get into and

278
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,279
very often it's not an adversarial situation, just nobody thought

279
00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:09,119
to write it down for a loved one, etc. Now, look,

280
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,599
generally this comes up in the context of children, but

281
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,480
kids don't want to give it, and if they do,

282
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:15,359
they'll change it behind your back and all that stuff.

283
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,119
But if you have an elderly person in your life,

284
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,720
just ask them to write it down if they don't

285
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,119
want to give it to you, and leave it someplace

286
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,799
you can find.

287
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: It.

288
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,319
Speaker 8: Doesn't have to be a circumstance as dramatic as this,

289
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:29,599
but we all can conjure circumstances where you would need

290
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,079
to get into that with a loved one is not available.

291
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,480
Such a simple thing, and yes, something that very very

292
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,640
few people think to do. So I would urge people

293
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
to just, you know, if you have an elderly person

294
00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:42,079
in your life, just have them write it down someplace

295
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:43,359
that you can get to it if you need it.

296
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: So I've found a couple of things out of the

297
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,559
people that we just listened to, One of them was

298
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:51,359
back to Harvey eleven over at TMZ. He said they

299
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,519
had trouble trying to get a hold of and report

300
00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:59,279
the fact that they got a ransom letter, and they say,

301
00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:02,839
you know, call one eight hundred FBI help or something

302
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,680
like that, and you go. But it's not as they think.

303
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,039
It sounds so simple. And here's Harvey Levin, who kind

304
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:14,880
of knows his way around, could not get through the

305
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,240
right people to report the fact that he received a

306
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,759
ransom letter. You would think that would be pretty important,

307
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:25,000
but apparently, I don't know if they have, like the

308
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:29,400
switchboard operator is the only person at the Sheriff's department

309
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,039
in Pma County that's taking incoming calls, whether they have

310
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:36,799
a fleet of detectives. And then the other one was

311
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,920
Paul Moore brought it up the fact that the Pema

312
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:44,519
County sheriff is saying they're having trouble trying to get

313
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:48,519
the video from all these cameras and the sheriff did

314
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:53,599
not understand that the camera did not have film in it. Oh,

315
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,680
he had did not over that it would go to

316
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,240
your device or it would go to a cloud, and

317
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:01,480
he doesn't know how to get it. You would think

318
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:04,400
somebody would help him with that, but it sounds like

319
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:08,759
technologically they're not on the cutting edge, and I think

320
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:11,920
everybody who was trying to be nice and not criticized,

321
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,680
but man, I thought it was pretty obvious. Minnesota big.

322
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,000
I think big news today from Minnesota. Tom Holman had

323
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,759
a news conference early this morning in Minneapolis, and during

324
00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:32,160
that news conference, he made some pretty important announcements.

325
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,079
Speaker 9: Listen, thirty years ago in Dallas, Texas, had been with

326
00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:39,000
the Borgatow's entire career. During my press conference last week,

327
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:41,759
I reported I had productive discussions with various state and

328
00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:47,759
local officials, including Governor, Attorney General, Mayor Fry, and law

329
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:52,599
enforcement officials about increasing coordination in a lawful way between

330
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:57,079
the county jails and ICE to avoid public safety threats

331
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,960
being released back in the community. Well, we had our differences,

332
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,599
one thing was clear. We all committed to public safety

333
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,960
for all who live in the Twin Cities. We have

334
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:13,920
mass significant progress under the direction of President Trump working

335
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,839
with state and local officials here in Minnesota, and I

336
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,119
expect that to increase in the coming weeks. We continue

337
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,880
to have discussions. I'll have discussions this afternoon. We currently

338
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,640
have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with US now

339
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,880
and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens before

340
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,319
they hit the streets. Unprecedented cooperation. Now say it again,

341
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,039
this is efficient. Requires only one or two officers to

342
00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:47,519
assume custody of a criminal alien target, rather than eight

343
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,000
or ten officers going into the community and arrest in

344
00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:56,680
that public safety threat. This frees up more officers to

345
00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:02,119
arrest remove criminal aliens. Taking custody of criminal aliens directly

346
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,039
from the jails means less offers on the street doing

347
00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:12,559
criminal operations. This is smart law enforcement, not less law enforcement.

348
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:17,000
It is safer for the community, safer for the officers,

349
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,599
and safer for the alien. This coordination also makes it

350
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,039
far more safe for the twin cities a rest in

351
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:30,440
a public safety threat and the safety and security of

352
00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:36,559
a jail. This is the safest thing we could do. Further,

353
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,720
less public safety risks are being released back into the

354
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,640
communities reduces recidivism, so local law enforcement can direct their

355
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,480
limited resources to other public safety matters in their community.

356
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,720
This is another priority to President Trump. The state prisons

357
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,240
already cooperated on this coordinated transfer of custody, and we

358
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,440
thank them for that partnership, and we plan to do

359
00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:06,200
more with them. Also want to reiterate and emphasize we

360
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:11,200
are not requiring jails to hold people past their normal

361
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:17,240
release time for immigration purposes. We're not asking anyone to

362
00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:23,920
be an immigration officer. We are not asking any state

363
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,400
or local official to do immigration enforcement activity.

364
00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: They are not.

365
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 9: By merely notifying us before they release them, they don't

366
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,400
hold them one minute pass they normally would. Given this

367
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:43,240
increase in unprecedented collaboration, and as a result of the

368
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:45,759
need for less law enforcement officers to do this work

369
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:52,000
in a safer environment, I have announced, effective immediately, we

370
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:56,359
will draw down seven hundred people affected today.

371
00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:02,279
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty amazing unpressed cooperation all of

372
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:06,279
a sudden. Well, the sheriffs, he said, are all say

373
00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:10,400
they'll cooperate. They will notify ICE before they release somebody.

374
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,880
And the sheriffs, as if I've reminded you many times,

375
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,000
are elected by the people. They don't answer to a mayor,

376
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,039
they don't answer to a governor. They're elected by the

377
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,559
people in their county. And they're all on board with

378
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:29,279
doing this. And apparently now and the state, the state

379
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,279
prisons are notifying ICE before they release somebody. And now

380
00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:40,000
the City of Minneapolis unprecedented cooperation. So I don't know

381
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:44,799
Tom Holman is a good salesman apparently, so he went

382
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,279
on for some time and then listened to this reporter

383
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,680
asked him about, Okay, if you're drawing down seven hundred people,

384
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:58,440
ICE officers, give me the rest of the math.

385
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 9: But I'm not going to share or to anybody that

386
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,400
they failed. It was a great operation. We took a

387
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,880
lot of publish safety threats. Office three.

388
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,319
Speaker 10: Can I ask a quick numerical just clarification. I think

389
00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:11,200
it's my main question. Please, So seven hundred leaving effective immediately,

390
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:13,400
how many will that leave here once that.

391
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 3: Group is out.

392
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 9: Right around two thousand.

393
00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 10: And what is the pre operation foot practice?

394
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,279
Speaker 9: Well, one hundred and fifty hundred fifty is normal. Well,

395
00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:29,000
we got a memory now that we have specialization special

396
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,880
agents on detail here doing the fraud investigation. They're not

397
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,759
going anywhere. They're going to finish their job. I'm talking

398
00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:37,039
about immigration and forcem efforts understood.

399
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:39,839
Speaker 10: So then my main question is just we talked to

400
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,160
people who say they're protesting not the arrests of people

401
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,400
with criminal backgrounds, but things like broad ICE controls, random

402
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,279
citizenship checks of people of color, and the detainment but

403
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,559
no charges of US citizens. So have you committed or

404
00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:57,519
will you commit to officers on the ground here seeing

405
00:24:57,599 --> 00:24:58,839
those actions.

406
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,519
Speaker 9: What I have would make player we're doing targeted enforcement operation.

407
00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:05,000
When we leave this building, we know who we're looking

408
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:08,000
for or we're most likely to find them, what their

409
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:11,920
immigration record is, what the criminal criminal record is. But

410
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:15,000
as we continue to be forced in the communities, when

411
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,880
we go to rest at criminal target, if we find

412
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,839
an illegal alien there, they're coming. We're not going to

413
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:23,160
turn the blind eyed illeg immigration. That's why this is

414
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,200
that's why this partnership and this coordination is so important.

415
00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:30,200
We're much rather work in the safety and security of jail. Look,

416
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,200
I go to bed every night wonder if every one

417
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,359
of our officers go home safely. I also am concerned

418
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,160
that every person we're looking for go you know, is

419
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,359
taking their customers safely. The best way to do that

420
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,759
is to have a targeting enforcement operation. While planning operation,

421
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,599
let's wave you down for decades, so expect you to.

422
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 10: See no more of that pardon should we expect to

423
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,920
see no more of those citizenship checks.

424
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 9: I have directed, I have directed target enforcement operations, and

425
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,440
we'll hold our officers to the highest standards.

426
00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:02,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got the failing the time home and means business,

427
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,559
and the officers know it, and they've been told targeted only.

428
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:09,880
That's what we're going to do, and we're going to

429
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,400
operate within the laws and the rules. We're going to

430
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,640
draw down. So the math is they have obviously two

431
00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:21,960
seven hundred officers there. Seven hundred are being withdrawn today.

432
00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:26,720
That leaves about two thousand. The normal is about one

433
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:29,839
hundred and fifty. So they what he was talking about

434
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,960
is a long news conference talking about as long as

435
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,759
the cooperation between the cities and counties and the state

436
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:44,400
on turning over people on a detainer orders, then they

437
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,119
will continue to draw the people down. So there's a

438
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,000
motivation for everybody to basically be nice and the officers

439
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:56,119
will be drawn down. The number of people being arrested

440
00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:59,839
will continue. But he also said there's another group there.

441
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,960
It's in looking at the fraud in Minnesota, and that's

442
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:07,000
not his wheelhouse. So I thought it was a very

443
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,759
positive event that after all of this were the governor

444
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:13,920
and the mayor and everybody saying we're not going to cooperate.

445
00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:18,519
Out now all of a sudden they're cooperating. We'll see

446
00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:24,920
how long it lasts. All right, nationalizing elections. President brought

447
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:31,079
this up, and I cannot tell you. I told you before.

448
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,599
I agree with about eighty percent of what Donald Trump does.

449
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,920
I don't care for a lot of his the way

450
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,519
he does it. But the idea is this one I don't.

451
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,000
This is not a good idea. This is an idea.

452
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,519
Nationalizing elections is something that conservatives have fought for years.

453
00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:56,440
Listen to this. Here's John Thune from two thousand twenty one,

454
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,680
so be four years ago, and Republicans and conservatives used

455
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,559
to be admirant about. I'm a big small government guy.

456
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,480
I the less I want, I want the less federal

457
00:28:08,519 --> 00:28:12,440
government the better. The more government that you have to have,

458
00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:16,119
I'd rather be nice and close either your city government,

459
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,279
or your county government, or your state government. But the

460
00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:23,880
federal government should not get more power. But here's John

461
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,880
Thune from four years ago speaking on this exact topic

462
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,680
when the Democrats wanted to do federalized nationalized elections.

463
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,119
Speaker 11: Federal takeovers are being discussed in both the House and

464
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,000
the Senate. This week, the Democrat leaders announced that the

465
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:44,480
Senate will once again be taking up legislation to put

466
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:49,000
the federal government instead of the states in charge of

467
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:53,160
elections in this country. So what's up with all these

468
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,759
federal takeovers. Well, Democrats have been pushing election legislation, what

469
00:28:57,799 --> 00:29:00,359
they call HR one or the Four of the People Act,

470
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,960
for multiple years now. This radical legislation would provide for

471
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:09,880
a massive federal takeover of our electoral system, chill free speech,

472
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,839
and turn the Federal Election Commission, which is the primary

473
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,599
enforcer of election law in this country, into a partisan body,

474
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:19,279
among other dangerous measures.

475
00:29:19,839 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: And the reason the.

476
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:24,599
Speaker 11: Reason for this radical legislation, well as even some Democrats

477
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,119
have implicitly admitted, this legislation is designed to make it

478
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,759
easier for Democrats to win elections.

479
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: Fast forward to last week.

480
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 11: With HR one unable to pass the Senate, some Democrats

481
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,960
produced a modified version of this legislations called for the

482
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,160
People Act Light And while I appreciate their efforts, unfortunately,

483
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,920
as the Republican leader said yesterday morning, this latest version

484
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:48,200
is only a compromise in the sense that the center

485
00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:50,519
left compromised with the far left.

486
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,759
Speaker 1: What he was talking about, what he was objecting to,

487
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,400
he called it for the people. That was the name

488
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,519
of the of the proposed law. It was HR one

489
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,880
for the People. Guess who was the author of it.

490
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,079
Guess who was the person who wanted to federalize elections

491
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:11,559
in twenty twenty one. That would be Nancy Pelosi. She

492
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,279
was the one driving that hard. And now Donald Trump

493
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:21,000
is proposing the exact same thing. I'm going, what's what happened?

494
00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:24,200
How did Donald Trump get on board with a Nancy

495
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,440
Pelosi idea? So that was John Thune from two thousand.

496
00:30:28,519 --> 00:30:32,200
Look it up HR One for the People Act twenty

497
00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:36,680
twenty one. John Thune was against it, then he's against it.

498
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,960
Now Ran Paul also weighing in, but you would expect

499
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:42,640
him to he's kind of a maverick, but not on this.

500
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:44,279
He's standing by the rules.

501
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's not what the Constitution says about elections. There

502
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,559
is some dispute has gone to the Supreme Court about

503
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,200
whether federal elections are different than state elections, and the

504
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:58,920
Supreme Court did rule that, for example, Washington State can't

505
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,680
set term limits on federal officials. If Georgia does it,

506
00:31:02,759 --> 00:31:05,240
it has to be a uniform election law as far

507
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:08,079
as the time plays, as far as the time, place,

508
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,400
and manner of the elections. That under the Constitution is

509
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,000
a state activity. So I'm not for nationalizing, and I

510
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,440
was against Nancy Pelosi's bill which would have nationalized it.

511
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:21,519
But I would also be against any bill coming from

512
00:31:21,559 --> 00:31:23,799
this administration that would nationalize elections.

513
00:31:24,119 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: Here's what the President said about it yesterday in the

514
00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:27,799
Oval Office.

515
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,079
Speaker 13: The state is an agent for the federal government and elections.

516
00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:34,720
I don't know why the federal government fits into him anyway.

517
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,599
Take a look at Detroit, take a look at Pennsylvania,

518
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,559
to take a look at Philadelphia. You go take a

519
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:42,680
look at Atlanta, look at some of the places that

520
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:47,279
horrible corruption on elections, and the federal government should not

521
00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:50,400
allow that. The federal government should get involved.

522
00:31:51,759 --> 00:31:54,359
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And I think what it really

523
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,279
comes down to is I think Republicans and I'm going

524
00:31:57,319 --> 00:32:01,160
to guess President Trump is worried at the midterms coming

525
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,559
up in November. The polling is not looking good. And historically,

526
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,799
like we've talked about, the party out of power in

527
00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:11,440
the White House has usually gained seats in the off

528
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,480
of the midterm election. But the polling is really bad,

529
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:21,160
and Trumps, we know, will do or say anything he

530
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,799
can to get an election going. I mean, it goes

531
00:32:24,839 --> 00:32:27,480
back to the question about I know he's upset about

532
00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:31,319
twenty twenty. He keeps saying that that was rigged and stolen.

533
00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:35,880
But if so, then how come twenty twenty four wasn't

534
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:45,759
Ben Ginsburg longtime Republican lawyer. He's an election lawyer and

535
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,799
he works for Republicans, And this is what Ben Ginsburg said.

536
00:32:50,039 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 14: Well, I think it's wrong.

537
00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:51,759
Speaker 1: Right.

538
00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:55,799
Speaker 14: They've had lots of opportunities to present evidence to back

539
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,440
up with the president's electing and in sixty four core

540
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:05,240
cases after the twenty twenty election, ample opportunities in suits

541
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:09,559
filed before the twenty twenty four elections, no proof, no

542
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,480
evidence has come out. You know, it's striking that they

543
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,240
would go in in subpoena do an FBI raid of

544
00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:20,720
Fulton County for the twenty twenty elections which Trump lost,

545
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,880
and not to one for twenty twenty four, which you want.

546
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:32,160
So presumably even the President recognizes that Fulton County fixed

547
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,160
its problems.

548
00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: And what bothers me about the fact that the FBI

549
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:40,119
went in and took out seven hundred boxes from Fulton County,

550
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,599
Georgia from the twenty twenty election, not twenty twenty four,

551
00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:49,680
but the twenty twenty one. What is the FBI doing

552
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,599
involved in that. This is something that belongs to the states,

553
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:56,799
and it's ballots. You're ballot if you're in Georgia. But

554
00:33:56,839 --> 00:33:59,000
I mean, are they going to do this to your state?

555
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,519
I thought always thought my ballot was a secret ballot,

556
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,160
and now they can go in and mess around with

557
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,440
the ballots, see how you voted, and maybe even make

558
00:34:09,519 --> 00:34:12,039
some changes to it. Ginsburg continues, state.

559
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,679
Speaker 14: Did was break what's known as the chain of custody,

560
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,679
which means that the ballots are kept without prying eyes

561
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:23,440
and prying hands who might actually change the materials. What

562
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:26,480
the FBI did here was, I think break the chain

563
00:34:26,519 --> 00:34:32,239
of custody, which means the materials are subject to manipulation,

564
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,960
nobody's watching over them. And that also means that if

565
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,639
they ever try and bring any prosecutions as a result

566
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:44,280
of this, they no doubt will fail because there are

567
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,599
guarantees that the ballots are kept securely and they're not

568
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:48,639
being manipulated.

569
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,079
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want the federal government touching

570
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:55,000
my ballot going in. No, keep your hands off, your

571
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,960
grubby hands off of my ballot. Steve Bannon, though Steve

572
00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:03,400
Bannon has a very different aggressive view on this.

573
00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:07,519
Speaker 15: You're damn right, We're gonna have ice surround the polls

574
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,320
come November. We're not going to sit here and allow

575
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,400
you to steal the country again. And you can whine

576
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,519
and cry and throw your toys out of the prim

577
00:35:15,639 --> 00:35:19,440
all you want, but we will never again allow an

578
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,639
election to be stolen.

579
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:25,119
Speaker 1: But if twenty twenty four turned out the way you want,

580
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,920
is it only stolen if your side doesn't win? Is

581
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:36,440
that what that means? So this, I hope goes absolutely nowhere.

582
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:43,880
It's constitutionally clearly violation of the constitution. But see Bannon's

583
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:48,320
all all for it. Meanwhile, in non political news, this

584
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,320
is out of Las Vegas. Las Vegas Police Department was

585
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,719
alerted to the fact that there was a house that

586
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,079
somebody was renting and in that house there were all

587
00:35:56,159 --> 00:36:00,440
kinds of chemical labs and who knows what they were

588
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:04,400
working on. Here's the Las Vegas Sheriff talking about the bust.

589
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 16: The nature of that earlier investor investigation raised significant concern

590
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,559
for what we might encounter in this new case. While

591
00:36:11,559 --> 00:36:15,800
it is unknown whether similar materials were present here at

592
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,800
the Las Vegas residents, the possibility required us to proceed

593
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:20,719
with extreme caution.

594
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, extreme caution because you don't know what these chemicals are.

595
00:36:26,159 --> 00:36:29,880
So people in moonsuits went in to figure out what

596
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:33,880
was being stored in this house. Cash Patel, FBI director,

597
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,960
mentioned it last night.

598
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:39,039
Speaker 17: What we have to do is take these thousand samples,

599
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,079
ship them across the country, which we did overnight, and

600
00:36:42,119 --> 00:36:44,639
have our lab analyze them. And once we have those results,

601
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,639
then we can produce further obviously.

602
00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: So it turns out that the person renting this Las

603
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,440
Vegas home is a Chinese national. His name is I'm

604
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,719
gonna botch it, but a Jeab's zoo, and the home

605
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,079
is rated by the FBI. In the Las Vegas Metro

606
00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:12,599
Police back well, it's tied into another raid. This is

607
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,679
the same individual arrested in October of twenty twenty three

608
00:37:18,199 --> 00:37:24,239
for an unlicensed lab in Redley, California. It contained thousands

609
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:31,559
of fials of biological materials including COVID nineteen HIV and malaria.

610
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,360
So this guy plays around with some pretty dangerous stuff.

611
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,800
The person arrested by the Las Vegas police was also

612
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,519
a guy named Ari Solomon. He's fifty five, identified as

613
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:46,280
the property manager for this residence and the main agent

614
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:52,320
and conspirator they called him for this gab Zoo so

615
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:58,400
in the Las Vegas garage refrigerators with files containing unknown

616
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,360
liquids assistant with the same stuff they found in Riedley,

617
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,960
California in twenty twenty three. Mister Zoo is in federal

618
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,159
custody in the California case. So this other guy, this

619
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,960
Ariy Solomon, was booked into the Clark County Jail on

620
00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:21,519
charges related to the improper disposal of hazardous ways. So

621
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,920
it's I don't know. I'm glad to see they got

622
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,480
the guy locked up from the California case. But man,

623
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:31,639
how many more of these are going on? And why

624
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,239
is a guy from China doing this? Let's check Wall

625
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,480
Street the Dow, it was all over the map. It

626
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,440
was started off up, then fell, then came roaring back

627
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,119
to a nice gain of two hundred and sixty points

628
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,719
the now forty nine thousand and five one. But the

629
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,760
rest of the market down s and p down thirty

630
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,719
five NASDAK. A lot of that is software stocks are

631
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,960
being raped by the fact that a lot of people

632
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:06,719
are thinking AI will be able to write your software

633
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,000
for you. You don't need a software company to do it.

634
00:39:10,039 --> 00:39:13,760
So the software company has got hammered again, Nasdack down

635
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,239
three hundred and fifty, the twenty two thousand and nine

636
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,119
oh four price of gold marching higher up to fifty

637
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:25,440
one dollars to four thousand, ninety eighty six, and oil

638
00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:30,000
creeping up another bucket a quarter today now at sixty

639
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:33,239
four dollars for one barrel of oil. Thank you for

640
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,360
coming by. We will be back again tomorrow. Hope to

641
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,199
see you then
