Speaker 1: And hello, how are you welcome to the Big Podcast
on this Monday. Today is the twenty third day of February,
year of our lower twenty twenty six. My name is
Tom Sullivan, and we've got a lot to cover here today.
I mean, I first of all, let me reach around,
bat myself on the back. We're here. You would think
the lead up to the big to the big snowstorm
the I don't know. I thought it was going to
be next to nothing. One of my boys, my youngest son,
sent me in a text message and says, are you
Are you going to be okay? And I said, ah,
it's all over hyped. Oh my gosh. We've got at
least two to three feet of snow. I've never seen
so much snow. It's it dumped a lot of snow,
there's no question about it. And we're supposed to get
more snow on Wednesday and then again next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays,
so we're in a pattern of more. It's a snowy winter,
let me put it that way. The problem with it
is the airports, the New York airports, they fell up.
Aviation all over the country because you may be taking
a flight from San Francisco to Salt Lake City, but
the plane may be coming from New York and a
ninety percent of the flights out of JFK have been canceled,
eight percent of the flight everything. I mean, who was
the two percent that took off? Twenty eight percent out
of LaGuardia. We're canceled ninety two percent out of Newark,
and Boston's about the same, Philly's about the same. So
it's all pretty much over all but some wind, and
everybody's going to scramble to get their airplanes. The problem
is they booked the planes so full that so they
can't They don't have room to roll over the people
from a canceled flight. It may take a few days
for these people to get where they're going. In any case.
The other thing about it with the TSAY, I still
don't know the answer. But because of the fact that
we've got the partial government shutdown affecting Department of Homeland
Security and TSA is part of that, and so they
said the DHS is so messed up, so mismanaged. In
any case, they came out and said, yeah, we're not
going to be able to handle the TSA pre check,
which a lot of people have paid money and signed
up for it's much faster. It's nice, I have, it's great.
And then they came back and they said, a couple
of hours. Okay, okay, okay, we heard a lot of griping,
so we'll staff the TSA pre check, but not the
global what do they call it, the it's the it's
the situation at that global entry where you come in
from the have to go through customs, and they weren't
going to staff that, and so who knows what's staffed
and what's not. But it's quite something, it really is.
Oh and by the way, the kind of the sad
funny out of this is like I said, a lot
of snowdrop on New York and Mayor Ma'm Donnie came
out and said, hey, help, we need we need volunteer
snow shovelers. I've lived in New York now almost twenty years.
I've never heard of this. They've got a couple of
thousand trucks with snow blades on them, and I don't
know what the I've never seen a volunteer snow shoveler before.
But apparently they you sign up online in someplace and
they pay you twenty bucks an hour. But here's the
great part about it. You've got I got the list here,
hold on, I got the list of what you need
to have if you're going to become a volunteer snow
shoveler in New York City. You must be at least
eighteen years of age. You must be eligible to work
in the United States, so no illegal volunteer snow shovelers
for New York. And you must be be able to
perform heavy physical labor. You better believe it. Snowshoveling is hard.
But here's the registration part. You register online. You have
to upload two small photos one uh uh and one
half inch square. It's like a passport photo. Gotta send
them two photos. Plus you have to send two original
forms of IDs. So no, no, no, no copies. You
gotta you gotta get the birth certificate with the perforations
on it, and you got to send them a copy
of your Social Security card. This is all for a
volunteer snowshovel job. But you don't have to show any
ID when you vote in New York City. That's that's
the part that's sadly funny, sad and more than funny,
but I'm going, what is wrong with these people they
have They're making this volunteer snow shoe go through all
kinds of hoops to become a volunteer snow shoveler and
yet to vote. Just walk in and vote. It's crazy. Also,
before we get going too far in the program, congratulations
to the United States hockey teams plural. The men are
getting all the attention today, but the women also won
the gold medal for women's hockey. So the men and
the women both won, first time the men have won
since nineteen eighty the Miracle on the Ice, which I
remember that game. It was exciting, and so was this
game last night. But the difference between it is in
nineteen eighty you could not be a professional hockey player,
and that's one of the things that this team did,
in fact get professional hockey players there actually are from
all over the world, but they played for US hockey
teams and they represented the United States. So first win
for men since Lake Placid in nineteen eighty, and in
nineteen eighty they played the Soviet Union. Oh my gosh,
you know that was a whole different world then. But again,
major congratulations to them. I'm thrilled for them. So on
the big international scene, I think this is quite a story.
El Mincho, I've never heard of El Mincho. I've heard
of all kinds of cartels and some of the cartel leaders,
El Chapo and all that. But this guy, El Mincho,
was a former police officer in Guadalajara area and he
became he switched sides and started his own cartel. They
called the New Leader Cartel. It's very violent. Apparently he
used to be with got he cut his teeth with
the Sentinel Cineloa cartel. Now he's bigger than them. Well,
now he's dead. And it was because of the Mexican
military swooped in and got him and oh in Porto Biarta. Yeah,
so the whole Halisco area. And it was because of
the fact that the United States gave Mexico the intelligence
on where this guy was. Here's Kim Dozer, who reports
on all things of national security.
Speaker 2: Well, one way to look at this is that the
pressure seems to be working that Mexico took a look
at the US action in Venezuela and okay, we're going
to go after this incredibly violent network. Osageta built from
being a policeman to being a Sinaloa confidant and affiliate
to something much larger. But taken another way, the Mexican
government's top security official had been targeted specifically by Osageta,
so this was also personal. But you can see what
a blowback has produced. This is a heavily armed cartel.
They've even got things like RPGs, rocket propelled grenades. They've
taken down a Mexican helicopter. So the Mexican government has
to weigh the crackdowns against the instability that it can
produce across the entire country.
Speaker 1: Oh, they have equipment to take the fire to shoot
down Mexican military helicopters. Major Mike Lyons also talks about
the intel that we provided.
Speaker 3: I think it's big news.
Speaker 4: It's a big national security win right now for this
administration that's putting pressure now on Mexico to go after
these drug cartel leaders. He was wanted by the United States,
but this time provided we just provided the intel and
you know, kind of the playbook that we did to
take out Maduro. So I think that you're going to
see a lot more of this cooperation between the United
States and the Mexican government. As they as this administration,
the Trump administration, leans into this very much so, especially
in this hemisphere, using all those same tools that we
used again to take out the Venezuela leader. And you'll,
I think you'll continue to see a lot more of
it in time.
Speaker 1: There's got to be at least a thousand American citizens
in Port of r To and they are there. You know,
it's cold here, so they go to Mexico for a
nice winter vacation. One of them is the guy by
the name of Scott Posselkin, and he and his friends
are stuck.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Sure.
Speaker 5: So I'm down here with a group of about thirteen
of us and yesterday, Mark, yes morning, about seven of
us left to go snorkel.
Speaker 6: We were in our shuttle.
Speaker 5: Which was driven by a local, and we were just
heading down to the actual town of Puerto Vallarda from
where perto Varda from where we're staying here. And we
were on the road and we saw a bus, like
a full coach size bus, a horizontal across the road.
At first we thought it was a car accident just
like the bus and hit a tree or something like that.
But then we noticed people kind of running away from
the bus in a way they wentn't from an accident,
and kind of while we were registering, a man with
a gun came around the other side of the bus
and kind of waved it at us and gave us
kind of the hand signal to reverse. So one of
the women who'd been on the bus ran up to
the shuttle and asked if she could get in, and
of course we let her in, and she explained that
they'd all been forced off the bus by our men
who were gonna like the bus on fire. We took
her in our shuttle and we tried to go back
in the opposite direction actually to go back to our airbnb,
and we ran into another car on fire. So at
this point we were sandwiched between these two cars. So
we took the only turn we had available to us
and went down to a smaller beach, and after just
kind of just talking to the locals and deciding what
to do, they said the safest thing would be for
us to just go out on the water and hang
there for a bit. So we went on the water
and we hung out there and crazy to watch, you know,
the town burning and all these cars being set on
fire one by one. Yeah, and getting back from that
was also quite a journey. No, it is very surreal
and shocking. I also come to Mexico quite a bit
up into weddings, you know, been tou loom, and I've
been to Cancun and lots of other places. Mexico city
like this. I've never seen anything like this in Mexico ever.
And the locals are local. Who was running the boat
that we are on. The local who was driving us
told us that they grew up here and they'd never
seen anything like this in their lives. And you know,
we were definitely scared yesterday. You know, we had to
walk back to the house on that road and that
was pretty harrowing. We saw some people on motorcycles with
weapons and that was pretty scary. But we made it
back to the house. And now that we're all back
here and together, you know, I'm lucky. I'm with a
large group of my friends and we're stocked on food
and anything else we would need, so we feel safe.
I think we're all wondering how we're supposed to get
to the airport between all the cars on the road
burnt out and all the streets shut down, and I
think all of our flights being canceled. But we're all
registered with the state Department.
Speaker 1: So you have a friend that's on vacation in Mexico,
you might not count on them showing up for work
very quickly. It's going to take a while for them.
But this is Porto Iyarta, I mean, a major American
tourist site, and they've got buildings on fire and cars
on fire, and it will be interesting to see as
the government pushes back for the first time I've ever
seen against a major cartel and see if they have
any success on it. Robert Almonte is a former US
marshal from that part of the world.
Speaker 3: You're an extremely vinent and Barbara cartel, responsible for many murdered,
not only in Mexico but in the United States, and
responsible for bringing tremendous amounts of methan fet I mean cocaine, fetanyl,
and heroin into the United States.
Speaker 1: So they're a big time operation, big time cartel, and
like I said, let's see what happens from here. Dan Brunner,
former FBI guy who did a lot a lot of
work trying to defeat the cartels when he was with
the FBI, had this to say.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm talking to a lot of people, a lot
of my sources on the ground in Mexico, and it's
essentially pure chaos. As you can see from the images there.
There there's burning, there's there's rioting, there's there's a tax
i mean, it is all out warfare in certain parts
of Mexico, and it's quite concerning. And certain cities there's
zero public transportation uh CGNG and all the affiliates have
threatened all bus drivers that and all taxi drivers that
they're if they're moving their vehicles around, they will be
shot and killed. There's videos out there of taxis being
overtaken and just open warfare on the streets. So it's
extremely concerning that we're seeing this and this is what
it is, is is right on the brink of possible
civil war because there are so many different factions under CJNG.
CGNG isn't necessarily just a group, is more of an
umbrella of a conglomerate of numerous smaller cartels. Now, each
one of these cartels, well they'll mencha being taken out.
All these leaders of these smaller cartels are all going
to try and vuy for that top dog spot and
they're going to fight and they're going to utilize all
their weapons. And your previous guests has said it, this
was a small army and each of these have weapons
grade you know, battlefield weaponry, you know, straight from Ukraine training.
Speaker 6: So it's quite concerning.
Speaker 7: It's excellent because I directly worked in operations like this
while I was with Joint Test Force Vulcan and chasing
MS thirteen members in Mexico, So I worked, I know
very mentally, you know, directly firsthand of you know, providing
intelligence to the Mexican authorities and letting them conduct the
the you know, the event, the attack. And this was
absolutely you know, pinpoint right on there and US intelligence
providing us whether it be source intelligence for signals intelligence,
and providing them all the information, the targeting data locations,
letting them execute the operation, because that's important, letting the
Mexican authorities execute the operation. And is here you can
see this and from what you're here, a Menshall was
put on a helicopter and died in a route, so
which means that that they successfully were able to extract
him somewhat alive but wounded, and he died en route.
So it's an overall excellent operation by Mexican authorities is
supported by US intelligence services, whether it be DoD or
FBI resources which are embedded there in Mexican.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that we actually are are actively
working FBI, DoD, you name it. They're working on trying
to help Mexico get rid of these cartels. It's a
big job. We'll see if they're successful. All right, let's
get to the big stink which came out Friday was
the Supreme Court ruling that the President of the United
States does not have the power to issue tariffs under
the Emergency Economic i EPA is what it's called. And
they said, no, if it's pretty simple you read it.
It's clear, Asabelle, Congress is the only form of our
government that can do taxes, and tariffs are taxes. What's
interesting about the big hubub about the Supreme Court ruling
is people are now coming out and they are this
is clear that you've got companies lining up already, law
firms that are lining up to get their money back
for the tariffs that they paid. Oh wait a minute,
we were told that we don't pay the tariffs that
the foreign supplier or foreign government pays the tariffs, Well,
then why are our corporations lining up to ask for
refunds from the government. The number from under AEPA is
apparently one hundred and thirty three billion. There's about two
hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of tariffs, but a
big chunk of that was from other parts of the law.
But i IPA, the Emergency Economic Act that President Trump used,
that's one hundred and thirty three billion dollars that people
want their money back. It was illegal the tax that
they paid. And so well, Steve Moore, who is a big, big,
big supporter, big fan of President Trump, was part of
his economic team in Trump one point zero. He has
been befuddled because I know Steve, and I know that
he has been anti tariffs the whole way. But listen
to what he says, Well, that's exactly right.
Speaker 8: I've always been kind of conflicted on this because on
the one hand, I don't like taxes and terriffts, and
I do think that the Supreme Court has made the
right decision and basically saying that these kinds of decisions
really have to pass through the House of Representatives in Congress.
Speaker 6: This Constitution is pretty clear on that.
Speaker 8: On the other hand, the Court has basically taken an
arrow out of the quiver of Trump's negotiating strategy. And again,
as someone who's not a fan of terrorists, I am
a fan of the terror These trade deals that Trump
has brought home, the trade deals with China, the trade
deals with Canada, Mexico, or Europe. He has forced other
countries to lower their terrorists and our goods. And now
he's sort of lost that negotiating tactic. So that's I
think one of the reasons Trump was so angry about
this decision.
Speaker 1: Oh he's angry, all right. In fact, I'm not going
to put it in this podcast, but following after I
finished with this podcast, I'm going to post he came
to the to the press room at the White House
after the Supreme Court decision on Friday, and he read
a rather long statement of objection and then took questions
and answers. I'll put it. It's a long one, so
I will post it in a separate podcast, a special
podcast to follow this one today, So look for that
in your podcast list when we're done. But yes, this
was questionable from the get goats, but he took a
risk that he could pull this off. The problem with
it is Steve's talking about all these great deals. Well,
what's happened is the European Union has said, yeah, we're
going to delay our vote on the US trade deal.
They haven't approved the trade deal that they made with Trump,
and Australia and the European Union are talking about doing
a trade deal between those two countries and just going
around US, totally ignoring the United States. Australia and the
European Union. India put the brakes on the work that
they're doing on a trade deal with the United States
that Trump had put together. They said, nope, hold on,
hold on, We're going to stop on this to figure
out what is going on with all of this. So
there's a lot of people that have done the calculation
already that if we got about this fifteen percent tariff
that he's all of a sudden laid on every country
for everything, this universal tariff, which is not allowed. The
law says, you've got to do one on one and
you've got to establish an investigation as to what this
particular country's doing, and then you can come up with
a tariff that will be in agreement. So we still
try to run roughshot over just fifteen percent on everybody.
But if it turns out that's fifteen percent on everybody,
that actually will be about the amount that he had
basically figured out under a EPA. So as far as economically,
will be not much of a change. But the question
is will he go forward on this universal fifteen percent
tariff which doesn't fit what the laws that the other
trade agreements said he's going to use. None of them
say you can do that. So this, this is getting
to be this is going to be a giant nightmare.
And like I said, corporations and law firms are lining up.
The problem with the corporations lining up to get their
money back. Yes, they paid. Let's take Walmart. Walmart has
paid millions, tens of millions of dollars to pick up
the goods that were shipped to the United States for
their stores. But they pass that on to you. So
why do they get the discount, why do they get
a refund? Shouldn't that go to you? The state of Illinois,
good old Governor Prinsker is saying he wonts seventeen hundred
dollars per citizen. So everybody's going to be coming at
this different ways. But the question is who paid the tariff? Well, again,
we did, whether it was Walmart or whether it was
you and me, but it wasn't the foreign company. It
wasn't the foreign country. Americans pay the tariff. So why
is the president keep pushing the tariffs? And you wonder
why the Fed cannot get inflation down to two percent,
it's because of the tariffs they have bumped. They always
tariffs raise prices. There are tax taxes raise prices, So
it will be interesting. I saw one guy earlier today
talking about, yeah, well, what are we going to get
our two thousand dollars check, you know from the tariff revenue?
And I'm going to oh my gosh. The guy actually
believed that that is never going to happen. That's something
that Trump just came up with off the top of
his head. That was never going to happen. And now
it's definitely not going to happen because that money is illegal.
It's got to go back to whoever paid it. Meantime,
Canada and the European Union are talking about a trade deal. Canada, Australia,
the European Union, They're they're all trying to basically get
more power to where the United States is much much
weaker in our efforts to try to charge them for
trade tariffs. Gott Besant, being the good, loyal Treasury Secretary,
he's convinced, however, this will still go forward.
Speaker 6: We've been in contact with our foreign trading partners and
they like the tariff deals, so you know they're they're
not going to be changed, and the President, the President
remains undeterred in his determination to lower trade deficit and
bring manufacturing back to the US.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll believe that they're happy with the trade deals
when I see it, because so far it looks like
they're basically scrambling to get out of whatever Trump did
with them and the idea that you wanted to lower
the trade deficit. The trade deficit has gone up since
he created the tariff programs. We have a bigger trade
deficit in twenty twenty five than we had in twenty
twenty four or twenty three or twenty It keeps going higher. Yes,
we are importing more and they're buying less, even though
the tariffs have been supposedly going to change that. As
far as bringing jobs back to the United States, the
job market is not growing in fact, it's kind of
worried about fact that it may be shrinking. At manufacturing jobs.
They have been falling every single month since April, since
Liberation Day in twenty twenty five. So I'm looking at
I'm just looking at the numbers, folks. Manufacturing jobs have
gone down. I will give you this. It takes a
while to build a manufacturing facility. So maybe, maybe, maybe,
if they build manufacturing facilities, manufacturing jobs will go back
up again, maybe later this year. But so far, I'm
just telling you twenty twenty five, manufacturing jobs fell every
single month since Liberation Day, and our trade deficit has
gotten bigger in twenty twenty five, not smaller. So I
appreciate the fact that Scott Besant is a loyal Treasury secretary.
But the facts, and he knows this, the facts do
not support his comment that he just made meantime one
of the other plates that's spending at the White House.
It would be, of course, Iran, and there are going
to be. They said they needed a couple of weeks.
Well it's not that two weeks haven't gone by. But
Iron says, okay, okay, okay, let's talk on Thursday in Geneva.
So they have talks planned for Thursday. Steve Whitcoff here's
what he had to say.
Speaker 6: I don't want to use the word frustrated.
Speaker 9: It's almost because he understands he's got plenty of alternatives,
but he's curious.
Speaker 6: He's curious as to why they haven't.
Speaker 9: I don't want to use the word capitulated, but why
they haven't capitulated?
Speaker 1: Yeah, President Trump is is going what are they doing? Well.
Brett mcgark, former National Security advisor, did a lot of them.
It took care of the Middle East. He knows those characters.
He's worked for a number of different presidents, both Democrat
and Republican. And very knowledgeable guy about the Iranians.
Speaker 10: Okay, I've spent a lot of time negotiating with the Iranians,
and I think what they tend to do is draw
you into a very protected negotiation on a narrow agenda
that they like to set. That's exactly what's happened here.
And I think the Supreme Leader of Iran is actually
calculating that for him to give up his nuclear richment program,
which is really on the table, that would be riskier
to the survival of his regime, which is his main focus. Then,
withstanding an American military operation, I just I think that's
the calculus in Tehran right now, which makes it difficult
to see the diplomatic off ramp in terms of what
might come of these talks on Thursday. So there's a
book by Barbara Tuckman called Guns of August about World
War One and about once the military maneuvers began and
there was not a diplomatic off ramp, the conflict kind
of had a sense of inevitability. And obviously the stakes
here are not talking this is going to be something
on that scale, but the inevitability of a military operation
here still, that would be my prediction. I just do
not see that diplomatic off ramp being constructed because of
the positions the Iranians are currently taking in the talks.
Speaker 1: Ernie Munoz was the Energy secretary of the Obama administration,
but he's a renowned nuclear scientist, and he was asked
about the ability of Iran to make the nuke bomb.
Speaker 11: I think the I think one fact of life which
has not been emphasized enough is that they had and
had been for several years now, enriching uranium up to
sixty percent purity, and what's not been said is that
that is directly usable in a nuclear explosive. So the
June military attacks have led to a lot of uncertainty
as to where that material is, what its condition is,
if it's still useful. I believe a major focus of
the administration should be to clarify that very quickly and
make sure that Iran give up that sixty percent enrichment.
Then the rest of the discussion will be more and
more complicated. Certainly, the twenty fifteen agreement that I helped negotiate,
we felt very confident that that made sure that Iran
was not pursuing a nuclear weapon. I think there's less
confidence of their intent today, particularly since the International Inspectors
were tossed out of Iran for quite quite quite a while,
so we haven't really had the same kind of visibility
into their program since since the military action.
Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State, let's see what his assessment.
Speaker 12: Is and on building out a nuclear program. This is
their prophecy that says, no, we're not going to capitulate
to the infidels, to the big Satan, the United States
of America. So I'm unsurprised that they haven't agreed to
the basic ask we have, which is like just behave
like a normal nation. I suspect they will not do that.
I anticipate President Trump will take a response that will
put even more pressure on the.
Speaker 1: REGINI So we wait and see what happens out of
the tucks on Thursday. A lot of that is also working,
the trying to stretch out the time before they have
to actually put up or shut up. There was very
important news item out of mar A Lago over the weekend.
The President has been in Washington. He stayed at the
White House over the weekend. But there was an attempt
to with somebody. This is this is bothersome from many levels. No,
the President wasn't at mar A Lago, but they should
have the security there at one thousand percent all the time. Well,
at one thirty in the morning, somebody was leaving mar
A Lago and they have a gate that some when
you pull up to it, it raises up the arm
or reduces the road barrier, whatever it is, and you
can drive out. Meantime, the guy that well he was
finally shot and killed, but he was coming in with
a gun and a gas can and he just waited
for the car to drive out, and then he drove
in that lane. You would think the Secret Service would
be there to make sure that nobody could do that.
That's the oldest trick in the book for a gated community,
as you wait for somebody to go ahead of you
and you just zoom in after them. Well, here's Rafael Barrows,
who's with the Secret Service in mar A Lago.
Speaker 13: Preliminary information in the case that the individual was armed
with a shotgun and a possession of a gasoline canister.
Agents and the deputy discharger farms to stop the threat.
At this time, no law enforcement personnel were injured doing
the incident. We want to be clear, the President of
the United States was not in the state of Florida,
and this remains an active investigation by the FBI.
Speaker 1: So the president it was his, but still it was
his place. Sounds like while he wasn't here, so we
didn't put up top security. The guide drives in while
the other guide drives out. Bill Dailey, former FBI guy, react.
Speaker 9: And yeah, just another stunning incident. How dangerous it is
to be President Donald J.
Speaker 6: Trump.
Speaker 9: You know this is now the third incident directly attacking
him and his property. You know, I would probably say
to your point, appears at this point that the North gate,
which is where this individual came through, he would have
piggybacked behind someone leaving. That's the least what was suggested
in some earlier reports. It's important for people to keep
in mind that mar Lago, as much as it's the
President and the First Lady's home, it also functions as
the White House on weekends on a vacations. But thirdly,
it's also an active club where people are members and
people come and go. So we don't know whether the
gate was open to allow for a member who is departying,
or what the arrangement was, but it appears though he
drove through, and at some point right after that, the
Secret Service and the Sheriff's Apartment responded and took immediate
action to kind of neutralize what they saw was a
viable threat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he has the gas can. They told him
to put the gun and the gas can down. He
put the gas can down, he raised the I think
it was a shotgun, raised it into a shooting position,
and that's when a Palm Beach police officer and two
Secret service agents opened fire on him and he is
now at room temperature. But still I mean the idea
he got into the inner perimeter of Mara Lago, it's
it sounds very troubling to me. I don't like what
I hear. And since we have Bill Daily, he's also
the guy that has kept us up to date on
a lot of what's going on with the search for
Nancy Guthrie. So while we have him, what is the
lightest Bill Daily.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's still a lot of lee to follow up here.
We have all the equipment or the paraphernalia, the individuals
wearing coming to the door. We have this DNA now
is going to go through geological DNA testing. And plus
there's also kind of revisiting all the leads is that
we found in other PATS cases, where redoing and revisiting
the leads that maybe first went out on the top
of the lists, where investigators were following up on leads
that may come in from people calling setting in information
they need to go back through that. There could be
that one kernel, it could be the kind of goal
one golden nugget out there that's in those past leads
that came across through the tip lines and other ways
that need to be looked at.
Speaker 1: Okay, so their working behind the scenes makes sense to me.
Wall Street, well, Wall Street did not like the chaos
and the confusion of the trade deals that have been
blown up with the Supreme Court decision on Friday. So
with that and the uncertain it's not about the amount even,
it's about the un certainty. Not only does President Trump
change his mind on a whim about what he's going
to charge somebody, whether they make him happy or sad
or mad, but it's also on again, off again ten
percent he announced on Friday. Then all of a sudden
over the weekend, I no, I make that fifteen percent.
Nobody knows and the countries don't know what the trade
deal will be either. So so Wall Streets sold off today.
Dow Jones Industrials down eight hundred twenty one, YEP to
forty eight thousand and eighth four, SMP down seventy one,
NASDACK down two hundred and fifty eight. Gold, time of
caution to run to safety up one hundred and sixty seven.
Gold at five thousand and two forty seven, and the
price of oil down twenty cents. It's at sixty six
dollars and some change for a barrel of oil. So
that's it for today. I'm going to wrap this up
and post it, and then I'm going to grab the
the news conference after the Supreme Court decision came down
on Friday, the President's reaction, it was something else. I
thought I should post it for you to get to
hear the whole thing. So with that, we're gonna take
a short break. I'll post that and then we'll be
back tomorrow. I hope to see you then.
