Speaker 1: And here we are.
Speaker 2: Let's let's get this Tuesday underway.
Speaker 3: Hi.
Speaker 2: How are you. It's the fifteenth day of July, Year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. My name is Tom Sullivan.
And man, we got a lot going. There's just a
lot going today and it just keeps going. So we
got to sit down and and put this put this
podcast together. No, the Epstein conspiracy story is not going away,
no matter how hard President Trump says, you need to ignorra,
you need to stop talking about it. Well, a lot
of people on the left end of the right still
talking about it. I'm getting a bunch of emails about it.
Department of Education started by Jimmy Carter in nineteen seventy nine,
so it's I think it's the newest government department agency
out there. Nineteen seventy nine, not that long ago, and
ever since it started. Even Ronald Reagan shortly thereafter said
he wanted to shut down the Department of Education. So
they've been trying for forty fifty years and it's still
not completely shut down. But the Supreme Court did give
Donald Trump the authority to lay off almost all of
the people. We'll get into that they're actually going to
transfer a number of the people, For example, people that
are running the student loan program at the Department of
Education are going to be moved over to Treasury, to
the Treasury Department. They'll collect the loans there and that
sort of thing. So we'll get into all of that today. Russia.
Donald Trump's talking tough about Russia. The weather, well, so
we got a bunch of my phone got one of
those emergency alerts yesterday evening. That was the one that
you know, I had let the horns go off it
three times last night because we got a wallop of
a storm hitting the northeast and the subways in New
York were flooded underwater. It was pretty intense. But I
was thinking about as I got the flash flood warnings
and the horns going off and everything else. Still brings
me back to Texas and why did they not have
those alerts there. Part of it was they were in
areas that maybe did not have cell service. Other parts
of it were that they just didn't do it. That
they once again, it'll come out in the investigation that
they did not activate the major alerts on your phone
to say hey, pay attention. So we had a lot
of flooding. There were two people that died in New Jersey,
but their car was washed away, so it was it
was a decent storm. But it's also it's summertime, and
in the summer we get thunderstorms, and thunderstorms pour out
a lot of water in a very short period of time,
so a lot of airport delays and cancellations, and there's
predictions of more rain in Texas. Because again, as I said,
it is July. I've got I guess oh. I got
a couple of text messages that I wanted to share
with you too. I got this one from pure neur charmer.
I don't even know what that. I'm not sure if
it's what the deal is, says Hi. I'm a recruiter
at Target. My name is Maya. Your background and resume
have been recommended by multiple online recruitment agencies. Therefore, we
would like to offer you a great remote, online part
time job to help Target merchants update data, increase visibility
and bookings, and provide you with free training, flexible part
time and full time work allowing you to work sixty
to ninety minutes a day. Minutes allowing you to work
sixty to ninety minutes a day, four days a week,
and earn extra income on weekends. You can work any
time and anywhere according to your schedule and earn two
hundred and fifty to five hundred dollars a day. The
basic salary is one thousand dollars per four days of work.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works.
Speaker 2: Paid annual leave in addition to maternity leave, paternity leave,
and other statutory holidays, Ordinary employees also enjoy fifteen to
twenty days of paid annual leave. The company currently has
fifty vacancies. If you want to join us, please send
a text message and then give a number for more information.
Applicants must be at least twenty eight years old and responsible.
Well I'm more than twenty eight. I don't know about
the responsible part. But is this one of those things
that falls under the category of it's if it's too
good to be true, it's not. It's probably not true.
So I you know, this has scam written all over it,
But I thought, well, I'll ask Google see what they
say about it, and it's almost word for word. Says
Target does not utilize text messages for some recruitment, particularly
for seasonal positions. It's crucial to be aware of potential scams.
So then they go through the text messages for jobs
and they talk about seasonal positions. Scammers may impersonate recruiters
and messages with fake job offers. How to report a scam,
verify and report in other words, no go through target directly,
not through a reply something like this on on your
text messages. So that's we'll mark that down as a scam.
And then then I got two of these, which the
trick here is the phone number, a text message from
a phone number that starts with six'. Three so the
country code is six,' three which means you look up
country code six' three That. Is the philippines so nothing
bad to Say. About the philippines but why would Somebody
in the philippines be contacting Me About A new York
Department of motor. Vehicle's final notice MAYBE the local dmv
Has hired the. Philippines, to collect anyway they say Enforcement begins,
on july. Sixteenth that's tomorrow our record show that. Has
up today you still have an outstanding traffic ticket In
Accordance With New York state administrative CODE fifteen c dash
sixteen dot. Zero zero three if you do not Complete payment,
by july fifteenth we will take the following actions and.
They go through they're going to suspend, My vehicle registration
they're going to suspend. My driving privileges they will transfer
to a toll booth and charge thirty five, percent service
fee and you may be prosecuted and your credit score.
Will be affected so it goes on about, please pay
immediately and so forth. AND so on i got, two
of those, two different numbers probably, twenty minutes apart both
of them Starting with the. PHILIPPINES country code i hope
you folks are smart enough to know that. Those are,
SCAMS so again. I don't know all, Of a sudden
i'm getting MORE scams AND i than i have.
Speaker 1: For a while But.
Speaker 2: Welcome to scamville we kind of live in it in,
the today's. Society, don't we yeah. WE just do i don't.
Know why either so we've got a lot. To go
over I'VE got, some i, think Uplifting news and i've got,
some war news which. Is never uplifting but we'll get
through all of. That as well let me start with
what's Going. On In pennsylvania, In pittsburgh today presidents there
so are a. Lot of people It's Called the Pennsylvania Energy.
AND innovation summit i know. That sounds boring it sounds
like a million of these summits that. Are Going on
corporate america puts them on and everybody rolls their eyes and.
Goes to sleep, this IS different and i. Think it
is this may this may be where you circle your
calendar and say this, was the beginning not. The actual
beginning but it's kind of like going Back and going
when they First, started the, internet there, was you know
a buzz about something They're Calling The, world wide, web
and uh well THAT'S where the, www comes from and
nobody paid much attention till all of a. Sudden it's
not everybody had To, have the internet and it's been
it's been. MORE than instrumental i don't know for those
of you that Don't, have the internet which is like,
THREE of you i don't. KNOW how you i don't know.
How you function This, today in pennsylvania in, my humble
opinion could be the kickoff of artificial intelligence being used
in way that will affect all of our lives very
Much like the. Internet does today so they started off
with a bunch of companies that had said we're going
to invest seven h seventy billion dollars into This, innovation
in pennsylvania and then a couple Of hours later amazon jumped, in,
and said well we're going to see we're going to.
See that too we'll put. Twenty billion in so they're up.
TO ninety billion i don't know what the total number
is going to be when they're all. Said and done
the companies, that are there it's a Being Hoped By
pennsylvania senator Dave McCormick And carnegie mellon University. That's in
pittsburgh and what they what they did was brought together
all these companies and executives to discuss their investments AND
development in. Ai and energy and you CAN'T have a.
I without ENERGY and we've I know the president has,
talked about, drill baby drill but it's it's that and
more because we're going to need more than just. Oil
and gas this is going to need every kind of
energy we can come up with for all the data
banks and everything else that the data centers that these
companies are going to need to be to create. The,
world LEADER now when i, say world leader We have
competition china's busy. As can be.
Speaker 1: They have.
Speaker 2: Many more PEOPLE working in ai than we have. In
this country and it's a race about who is going.
To control this so List, of companies blackstone the big
investment firm is, Their Soft Bank, amazon Web, Services Black, Rock, Exxon,
Mobile ANTHROPIC bechtel, Big Nuk. Company NIPPON steel so i
mean it's it's, it's a big big deal.
Speaker 1: GOING on In uh.
Speaker 2: In PITTSBURGH today and i really do think this could
be something that you can look back, out and say
this is the kind of money that it took and
the gathering of all these pointy heads from government and
from the private sector that REALLY kickstarted a ai and
energy development. In This country david. SACHS interesting guy i
really did not see this guy. On my radar he
is THE the, THE ai zar i guess. They call
him his Official title is Chair Of the President's council
Of advisors On. Science and technology, and this, guy He's
well He's He and elon musk have worked. Together as
partners he started a Company. Called yam Or He's, from
south Africa. Just like elon he was on the Original,
team at PayPal. So was elon he was one of
the Original, Investors, in Facebook airbnb Space, X again elon
so he's got a bunch of different things. Going as
well he's a general partner of A Company. Called craft
ventures he's on loan from them. To the government so
HE'S the chief ai czar and everything he has touched
has been, NOT just successful i mean over. The top
successful so here's a little bit of an interview that
Was Done, with david sachs who Is At this Pennsylvania
energy And infrastructure or innovation Summit In pennsylv Here's.
Speaker 4: DAVID sex well i think the most important thing Is
That the united STATES win. The ai race artificial intelligence
is a profound. And transformative technology it's going to have.
Huge economic ramifications it's also going to. Have military ratifications
We Want the united states to. Win this race we
want it to be the most POWERFUL. Country in ai and,
if we don't if WE lose the ai Race, to
say china that it could shift the balance of power
in the world in a very unfavorable way.
Speaker 5: For our country so we have TO win.
Speaker 4: The Ai Race and president trump Is coming, to pennslvania
here which is a huge, energy producing state to renounce
seventy billion dollars of NEW investments. In ai infrastructure THAT
these new ai data centers are.
Speaker 5: Very power hungry they need a.
Speaker 4: Lot of electricity natural gas is the best way, of
powering them and so these investments are going to, upgrade
the grid they're going to allow for, more power generation
and they're going to help US win.
Speaker 5: This, AI race well i think you're going to see.
Speaker 4: A proactivity, boom i mean, first Of all what cinam
McCormick there is talking about are these. New data centers
it makes sense to build the data centers near the,
source of power and so they're, expanding the grid they're expanding,
the natural, gas the pipelines, all that infrastructure and those
data centers are going to power the NEXT generation. Of
ai applications and we're already seeing the use of these
chatbots in our business lives and, our personal lives and
that's going to lead to a new, technology called agents
which are going to be incorporated. In the workplace and
all these things are going to lead to. Boom and
proctivity it's going to make all of us more. Productive
at work and you're also going to see a host of.
New business models so we're seeing a boom asonic boom
in startup generation right now in, the technology space and
that's happening. Across the country It's Happening, in silicon valley
but it's also Happening Here, at carnegie mellon where It
is why i'm STANDING where this ai and energy something.
Is taking place so This is what. America does best
we do innovation better. Than anybody else we. Can't stand
still other countries are. Better at copying we, have TO
innovate and ai is going to enable us to remain on,
the cutting edge and that's going to create a lot
of new companies and a lot. OF new jobs i
think the reason why you're hearing Those comments from google
and others is because They Understand that President trump wants.
America To win President trump wants america to win. The
energy race he, wants to. Drill baby drill he Wants to,
unlock American energy and american energy dominance is going To
LEAD to. American ai dominance so these two things. Are
very connected and under, the previous administration what we saw
was that there were way. Too many regulations there's too
much red tape getting in the way of, new energy production.
New Power generation president trump has gotten the red tape out,
of the way And he wants, america to win and
he is enabling this investment a boom, that's going on
and that again is Going to. Help america win it's
going to power our economy into. The, next generation WELL
the way i would measure it would be based. On
market share so if we look five years down the
road and We see, That AMERICAN technology, American ai models
american man conductors' chips are being used all, Over the
world let's say we have eighty, percent MARKET share then
i would define. That as winning but if we look
across the world and We see that chinese Chips like
by huawei or Models, by deep sea if they have eighty,
percent market share. They'd be losing so the key here
is very. Easy to Measure we want american technology to be.
The global standard we want to use it Obviously In.
The united states we also want to export and to
win and have the whole world. Using our technology that's
how you. Become a Standard So every silicon valley company
understands that the way that you win is you become.
A global standard you, create a platform you have the
most developers, on your platform you have the most apps in,
your app store and so we have to only take advantage.
Speaker 5: Of this Technology In, the united states we have to be.
Speaker 4: The GLOBAL winner and I Think that president trump's policies
are leading us. To That reality so china does produce
HALF the. WORLD'S ai researchers a big part of the
reason for that is they do have four, times our
population but they've really put an emphasis on THE so
called stem science and technology. Majors and, STUDIES and look
I believe that america can, compete With this but china
is going to be a. Very formidable competitor we have to,
out compete them we have to. Out innovate them at
the end. Of the Day In, the united states the
big advantage that we have is that our innovation comes from,
the private sector, and right now the private sector Is Booming.
Under president trump he's gotten the red tape out, of
the way he's, enabling the investment and we're seeing that
our entrepreneurs are creating companies at a rate that we've.
Never seen before and this IS ultimately why i think
that we WILL win.
Speaker 5: This.
Speaker 4: Ai, race china again they, will BE formidable but i
believe that ultimately we are more innovative as a people
when the government is trying to help the private sector
as opposed to being. In the way and That Is
what president. Trump, has done.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's, good to hear because you want. To make
sure one of The Things that donald trump did in
his First term in trump one point zero was reduced a,
lot of regulation which really spurred business to development and
hiring and. Building and expanding it was good. For the
economy all boats rose. In that period here he is
quietly undoing the regulations that the previous ADMINISTRATION had on ai.
And energy development why Is. It in pennsylvania if you Know,
anything about pa you know that they are blessed with
lots and lots. Of natural resources and so The, governor Of,
pennsylvania a democrat a guy who a lot of people
they don't have him up, on THE top but i
think he could Be the leading democrat in the race
for president in four. Years From Now, governor josh shapiro
and he's, at this conference and this is his reaction
to and his response to the Idea of using pennsylvania
and the ENERGY.
Speaker 6: ALONG with ai i think this is one of the
most critical national security issues. Of our time someone's going
to win THIS. Race on ai it's either Going to
be China Or. THE united states i damn well want
to make Sure It's the United. States of america and
the way we win that is through The power of
pennsylvania energy and the Ingenuity of.
Speaker 1: THE pennsylvania work i am in All The.
Speaker 6: ABOVE energy governor i say that. EVERY single day i
think energy is at the center of so much of
what we, want to Do and, It's pennsylvania energy pennsylvania
ingenuity that's going to allow us. To, Do this look
pennsylvania was on the front lines and the steel mills
building up, Our nation's infrastructure. Pennsylvania coal miners we're at
the center of the conversation when we needed to, power
This nation and pennsylvania workers will again be at the
center of the conversation in, the NEXT Revolution. The ai
revolution we've got the energy with. Me as governor we've
got the, Speed to market we've reformed our permitting process
so we're tops in the country when it, comes to
that and we've. Got the people, let me explain we
just landed the largest private sector investment in the History
of The commonwealth Of pennsylvania when amazon planted an initial
initial twenty billion dollar flag for data Centers. HERE in
pennsylvania i Announced this about tall a month. Or so
ago the interesting point here that kind of gets lost
in a lot of this. Is the reason one of
the big reasons why they're here is because. Of our
people we've got the people who can be the welders who.
Build these facilities we've got the people who are educated
AT places like cmu where, we are today who can
go run these computer systems and develop the code necessary to.
Make it work sixty two percent of my adult Population
here in pennsylvania do not have. A college degree yet
they are just as important as the KID who graduates
cmu to the future success. Of our commonwealth and So
that's why i've doubled our Investments in votech we've increased
the number of apprenticeship Programs. Here in pennsylvania are building
trades are a central part of. Our growth strategy we
have the People, here in pennsylvania and we're investing, in
training them and we're working with the private sector to
make sure they're. A. Key part yes and, By the
way i'm not only pleaging to You here on i've
sat with all these CEOs who are planning to put
out their press releases today and have already, Seven, and
said okay what's, your punch list, what's your timeline what?
Do You need and i've got my strike team there
ready to go on. The, permitting side look there is
a long road for these companies to travel from the
press release they issued today to when shovels go. In
the ground but the length of time it takes will
not be Hindered. By the commonwealth we will be the
value add that they need to get.
Speaker 2: To market quickly so that all sounds good and shapirohead
all the right, things to say and it really does
make sense that there's so Much, energy in pennsylvania and
energy IS, critical FOR, ai and ai as so many people,
have already said is critical. To our future one of
the two of us is going TO win. This ai
race it's either Going to be China Or. The. United, States,
europe no no they're not even. On the horizon so it's.
FOR our future i think this conference today you heard
him talk about Twenty. Billion From amazon the president is.
COMMITTING seventy billion i don't know if it's tax dollars
or worse coming from but ninety billion dollars just today
at this conference and we'll see where it. Goes from,
Here all right so that's to me a very. Uplifting
positive story so let's go to, the other side and
that is war and The Fact that president trump is
kind Of discovering that putin's, a bad guy and he
has laid down, the rules saying you got fifty days
to enter into a PEACE agreement five zho fifty, and
if not we are going to do tariffs and sanctions.
Like never before the, way he talks you KNOW the
problem i have with, tariffs and sanctions or that they,
generally don't work but better than it's better Than. Warfare
with russia and that seems like we're kind of inching
right up to that Point where either putin, somehow backs
off finds, some off ramp, as they say to save
face and stop The, war in ukraine or this is
just going to keep getting hotter and. Hotter and hotter
where do we start today with? All of This How,
about LEON, panetta former, cia Former director, former defense. Secretary
former congressman seems like a guy with. A level head
this is his reaction to where We. Are, WITH russia
well i think.
Speaker 7: It's Pretty clear that putin is going to continue to
do what he's been doing for these last, number of
years which is he's going to Continue. To attack ukraine
he's going to continue, To use drones he's going to
continue to go, after, innocent men. Women and Children that's.
What putin does and so even though, the Fifty days
the President has challenged putin to be able to resolve issues,
OVER fifty days i think basically the fifty days Will
basically give putin additional time to do what, he does
best which is to attack and Kill. People in ukraine
my concern Is that the russians have been pretty smart
about their ability to avoid sanctions and, get around sanctions
no matter what they are or. How they're fashioned they've
been pretty successful at, a VOIDING sanctions and i think
that that will happen. HERE as well i think the
better approach Is to provide ukraine with as many weapons
as necessary in order. To defend themselves THE important thing
i think that we have learned over these last few
days Is that the President Of the united states now
understands that He. Cannot trust putin. That's very important You,
cannot trust putin, and more importantly the only way You
deal with putin, is by force and that means giving
Weapons to the ukrainians that will give them the ability
not only, to defend themselves but to be able to
gain The. Initiative against putin that's the best way To
ultimately bring putin to the table is to Make clear
to putin that he cannot succeed with This. INVASION of
ukraine i think it's important To Understand that putin putin.
Does not change for those of us in intelligence That
have watched putin for, a long time We know that Putin,
will be putin that he. Cannot be trusted it is
Good that the president understands now that You. Cannot trust
putin but the important thing now Is for the president
to be very tough and to be very clear that
he will do everything he can now To help the
ukrainians be able, to defend themselves and he will not back. Away,
FROM it frankly i would, have preferred on Rather than giving,
putin Fifty days the president, should have said by the end,
of next week if you do not agree to some,
kind of ceasefire we are going to. Implement sanctions immediately
that ability to be tough And strong with putin is
what is needed now, MORE than ever I Think the
united states is the strongest country on the face.
Speaker 5: Of the earth.
Speaker 7: We have the ability to be able to. PROVIDE these
weapons i think it's important to find an expeditious way
to provide Patriot systems to ukraine as, quickly as possible
because the ability to be able to defend themselves from
these repeated heavy drone attacks is critical right now to
trying to turn The. Tables On putin so i'm Confident
That the united states can provide. The weapon systems i'm
Confident That the united states can do it without undermining
our weakness or our ability to respond. To other challenges
That's What the defense. Department does BEST and so i
Hope that the president will continue THE pressure on i
hope he understands that he cannot Be tricked by putin.
AS he, was i mean he himself Admitted four times
putin said he was going to agree to a cease
fire and basically walked. Away from That that's. Who putin
is You. Cannot trust putin you've got To operate with,
putin through. Strength, Not weakness.
Speaker 2: Yes putin needs to be dealt, with with. Strength not
Weakness And general jack keene comes to mind when we start,
thinking about that here's the general's thoughts about where We.
Speaker 3: Are, with, RUSSIA yeah well i mean the president really
never refuses the opportunity, to answer questions but it doesn't
necessarily get at. COMPLICATED policy issues i think, in MY
mind when i look at what the question asked and what,
his response is He doesn't think zelenski should be targeting To.
People in MOSCOW that's what i think the. Issue is
here it is a legitimate military target in The, vicinity
Of moscow which zelenski and as people have gone after.
IN the past i think certainly that. Is FAIR game
so i don't think that's a reflection of. A policy
issue it's just the president trying to interpret a question
and answer it to the best. Of his ability look
at every weapon that We have given ukraine and every
Weapon that the europeans, have given them they're all used
to defend themselves against. AN invasion, force i MEAN THEY
have us f. Sixteen aircraft there THERE'S actually retired f
sixteen pilots flying some Of. Those airplanes americans that could
obviously be considered, an offensive weapon but the reality is
they're all conducting defensive operations against, an invasion force and
certainly if there are bases that are providing Aircraft and
the ukraine's can attack those bases where the airplanes are
before they fly over their cities and, drop the bombs
and they have to wait until they get over the cities.
To attack them which one of those is. A better,
answer i mean it's. Obvious to anybody so we got
to think get a big picture here in terms of what.
Is Really happening certainly ukraine should never and they have
not been limited to only attack something That's inside of
ukraine when a lot of capability Is coming. From russia
itself certainly they're logistical infrastructure is fair. Game, as well
NO they're flying F sixteens in ukraine On. BEHALF of
ukraine i don't know if they Go outside of. UKRAINE
or not I think they the reason why THEY wanted
the f sixteens primarily because there's a good aircraft that
provides good air defense and the electronic means that it has.
Is very, sophisticated so yeah they're part of the defensive
structure protecting the people and The.
Speaker 1: Troops, In ukraine.
Speaker 3: Well russia does not, have stealth drones but many drones
are susceptible. To electronic warfare, in other words you separate
the person that's controlling that drone the messages that they're.
Sending to them, you jam that and that's an effective
way of. Taking drones down the reality is that drone
technology is advancing so rapidly it's hard for both forces
to kind of keep.
Speaker 1: Up with.
Speaker 3: It you know, as an example on, the front lines if,
you're a soldier you, can be seen you. Can be
killed if, you're a, tank, same thing artillery, p same thing.
Command and control one of The things the russians have
done is they've started using, optic cable wires very thin
wires to fly the drone out fifteen to twenty miles
so that it can't be interfered with because the message
is being sent by the wire and not through the
air in terms of. A radio wave the technology is
changing right before our. Eyes here listen counter drone technology
is a major Issue For. The united states we saw
what happened at Those bases in russia that could Happen In,
the united states so our. Bases as well israel demonstrated
very much the same thing With drones against iran that
They put into Iran and. From iran Itself they. Attacked
iran's capabilities we have to get a counter drone strategy,
in this country and Just recently The, Secretary Of defense
pete haiksas. Had Approved that The chief of Staff of the.
Army recommended it and this is a huge step forward
here that we're going to have to form to be able,
to do that to take care of our bases and
Infrastructure In the united states as well as our troops that.
Speaker 1: Are Deployed Overseas.
Speaker 2: So mike Pompeo, also former congressman former HEAD, of The
cia Former, Secretary Of state harvard law top of His Class.
At west point this is his Take On what president
trump Is Doing.
Speaker 8: Regarding vladimir putin he's obviously taking on board all of
the Six Months, of, president trump right. Not Just this
president trump tried to get peace, Through a deal. Putin
Rejected It the united states then entered an Economic agreement
with Ukraine Called. The minerals deal what, have you again,
ratcheting up pressure making even More of. An american commitment
and then we saw what the. PRESIDENT did Yesterday i
think putin should take seriously what he Saw. Happen in
iran that Is A powerful, united states response trying to
deter our adversaries and build out.
Speaker 1: A peace Regime that's.
Speaker 8: The president's goal he's been pretty consistent on this for
the entirety, of his presidency including in its first four
years where we put Real Pressure. On vladimir putin it
shouldn't Surprise Anyone that vatimir Putin Lied to president trump.
Helies to everyone now we can see that there is
a pathway, to GETTING peace and I Think what president
trump Announced Yesterday Alongside, general secretary ruto THE, head of nato, was,
a closer deeper bigger step towards and we have. SEEN
so Far I certainly president trump didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: About That yesterday the.
Speaker 8: Ukrainians have tools they've demonstrated that where they can touch Assets.
Inside of russia they've gone after A, Bridge in crimea
they've gone after facilities A deep, inside russian Territory Including
A russian.
Speaker 1: Air force Basis so the ukrainians.
Speaker 8: Have that capability in the end, of the day if
there are no costs In Post, on vladimir putin if
this war is Fought entirely, on Ukrainian soil it's ukrainian
civilian kids that. Are being killed putin has no incentive to,
stop the war. And He'll Continue what president trump yesterday
did was he turned, the leverage up the economic, leverage
IN particular which i think will Change how the Indians
and the brazilians in all of those countries who are
funding this war By buying, DISCOUNTED russian energy i think
they will now have to reconsider. What they're doing And
driving the russian economy into difficulty puts Real Pressure, on
Vladim reputin something i've been advocating for for an, awfully
long Time Including when president biden failed to do that.
Speaker 1: For, four years oh make no.
Speaker 8: Mistake about it In, spite of shushingping The Leader Of chinese,
communist Party's denials the chinese, have, been supporting, funding providing
technology and Then Ultimately directing chairman kim to send.
Speaker 1: His.
Speaker 8: Young men Right didn't send chinese kids to fight And.
Die in Ukraine He sent. North korean kids they. Are
deeply coordinated china does not want To see the west prevail,
in this conflict and it's for that Exact reason that
america has a deep interest in Making Sure that Vladimir
Putin loses that this is Perceived as. A western victory
i think yesterday puts us well on the path to.
Getting That Piece with vladimir putin looking like he made
a Horrible, mistake invading ukraine that's the answer that we need.
Speaker 1: To push Back Against The.
Speaker 8: Chinese Communist party if putin were able, To win here
shushiping's willingness to do Things in the Pacific and threatened
american interest.
Speaker 1: There only increases.
Speaker 2: So we wait forty nine more days To See what
vladimir putin Does And what. President trump does we'll be counting.
That date down september second is the date. Of that
deadline let's we have done this. For a while let's
go to the emails that have been coming in the
email you go, To my website tom. Sullivan dot com

leave a message goes right to, the comment line so
we play those. Every so often we've got the my
my email address, is Right There so tom sullivan dot
com and you can get all the connections not only
to the comment line and also, the email address but
also if you know people THAT are going i don't
know how to connect to the. To the podcast there's
a big old link Right There at tom. Sullivan dot
com that brings your right. To the podcast so.
Speaker 1: Let's see what we got in.
Speaker 2: The, emails here oh in a fan he writes some.
EMAILS is podcast i was listening to your Podcast. Yesterday
concerning EPSTEIN the problem i have with this is that
it reminds me so much of THAT situation that i
Remember about The Clintons and vince foster that went on for. Years,
and years remember he, allegedly Committed suicide then hillary. Had
him murdered Then. There was whitewater then we had guess what?
A Special counsel doesn't everyone just love a special counsel
that goes on for years and years and generally nothing.
Has ever found but some investigator makes millions of dollars
and they hire one hundred assistants and they make about load.
Of money Too back To bill And Hillary and Vince
foster and whitewater and. Everything in between whatever became of,
All of that, who got arrested? Who got charged no one,
of any Importance certainly Not. Bill or, hillary My point
these epstein things will. Lead to, nowhere of course, the
Online Crowd the washington post and all all the rags
will have something to report on every day with their. Quote,
inside sources basically if people want to waste their, time
on it. Go for it but As far, As i'm
concerned i've seen, this movie before maybe.
Speaker 1: More than once.
Speaker 2: You make a good point in, a fan yeah probably
Nothing will be nobody's ever Held, ACCOUNTABLE, in washington dc
and This is A. Washington, D c story there's no.
Question about it it's the sad part about all OF
this that i have is that two doctors that, did
the autopsies, both of them came to the conclusion it.
Was a homicide. He was murdered. This WASN'T suicide and
i don't know why everybody's ignoring these two experts that,
did The Autopsy, doctor Michael Bowden Former chief medical Examiner
for The City of new york and The Current. Chief
medical examiner both of them came to the conclusion it.
Was a homicide and the real sad part about all
this is there was supposed to be. A thousand victims
does that mean there were a thousand young ladies girls
who were? Molested were attacked what about holding? Those people
responsible it's because, they're probably wealthy. WELL connected people.
Speaker 1: I.
Speaker 2: TRULY believe that i just truly believe, IT all right
I got a LinkedIn news THIS is from i don't know.
Speaker 1: Who It's.
Speaker 2: FROM from LinkedIn i got An email, from, LinkedIn saying
Oh It's. By karen reinhardt she put a note here
saying there's been a drumbeat of return to office orders
in recent months out Of, Companies, LIKE, Target Amazon, jp
morgan chase even amid warnings. About non compliance new survey
data show that actual attendance is up just two percent since.
Twenty twenty four it's no use threatening employees as ink
columnist rights when two thirds of companies still. Support hybrid
arrangements So This is, JESSICA, Stillman Rights, Jp, Morgan, Chase Amazon.
Disney google company after company ordered employees to return to the,
office full time which means workers are grumpily packing their
laptop bags and digging their hard pants out of the bottom.
Of the closet you could be forgiven for thinking that
return to office mandates mean tons of employees are returning.
To the office recent data suggest that a whole lot
of people are responding to return to, Office mandates differently.
They're ignoring them so what? Does this mean does this
mean that the tale is wagging the dog that the
employer is being told what the employer can do. Or
cannot do it looks like, it TO me which i
find surprising THE very least i. Don't Like it paul
chance sends me an email regarding your show of Seven.
To eleven tom when You Spoke about karen bass, giving
Illegals money the january fires immediately. Came TO Mind The
la fire department had an embarrassing number of fire trucks
that are out of service because there are insufficient funds.
To REPAIR them but la has funds. TO give, illegals,
I Say, Fire karen bass. You're not, Alone and finally
linda sends me an email and said she heard a
report that said billions of dollars have already been SENT
To the us treasury due to the terror that the,
country is benefiting but we the individuals won't be getting.
Rebates or anything can you explain? What this means because
you've taught, me about tariffs but this makes no. Sense
to Me Love. The big, Podcast. Thank YOU lynn so i,
wrote HER back, and i said when a business buys a,
product from overseas it has to go through customs when
it arrives at the airport or the shipping port wherever.
It might be customs then requires payment of the tariff
before the product can be Released to. The American buyer
since CUSTOMS is a, us government agency the money they
collect goes. Into the, treasury so yes the country benefits
from the. Money it collects the issue is simply who is?
Paying the tariff the company that ordered the product has
to pay to get. The product release but what do they.
Do about it do they raise the price of that
PRODUCT to their us co consumer that is, usually the
case OR did the us company negotiate a discount from.
The foreign, seller EITHER way the us. Gets its money
and speaking of, all of that we got our inflation.
Report out today inflation rose at two point Seven. Percent
in june. That is up the core number when you
take out food and energy was up to. Two point
nine so that's year over year, two point nine and
so inflation is going. The WRONG way the fed wants
it to get down. To two, percent it's close but
this is. NOT that close i know it. Sounds like
it and so this is another REASON for the, fed
to say we're not going to lower interest rates if prices,
are going higher and that Will Just get donald trump
even more AGGRAVATED.
Speaker 1: About The Fed.
Speaker 2: And jay powell but so far he's GRIPEN a lot
a lot, of presidents do but he hasn't. Done ANYTHING
yet but i would expect that there's Some rumor that
jaypowell may just step down just enough of this he
doesn't want to put up.
Speaker 1: With it anymore so that's what's.
Speaker 2: Going on in the world of emails today and. A little, inflation,
