1 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: And Hello, how are you welcome to the Big Podcast. 2 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:32,759 It's Monday. Today is the twenty fifth day of August, 3 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,000 year of Our Lord twenty twenty five. My name is 4 00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:39,840 Tom Sullivan. So for the last week of August, and 5 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,159 a lot of people are theoretically off on vacation. Man, 6 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,280 the news barrel is full. I mean it literally is overflowing. 7 00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:54,759 We got the National Guard in Washington and maybe other places. Chicago. Hello, 8 00:00:55,799 --> 00:01:02,359 we'll get into that. We've got kilmar Abrego Garcia. Well, 9 00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:06,159 he on Friday he was released by a judge and 10 00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:09,439 this morning at seven am, he was taken into custody 11 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,840 by ice. We'll get you up to date on him. Intel. 12 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,680 I've been ranting about this now since I think I 13 00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:20,959 started last Thursday. And I've got a long list of 14 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:27,319 serious conservative leaders in this country who are not happy. 15 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,400 And of course the trucking situation in Florida, the illegals 16 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,400 driving trucks in this country, and oh yeah, cracker Bill. 17 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:42,280 So let's start told you we got a lot. So 18 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:48,040 let's start with the National Guard. And what the signal 19 00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,840 is is the President's now talking about and dropping names 20 00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:59,159 of Baltimore and Chicago, which both cities claim they have 21 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:03,079 a drop in crime, just like Washington, d C. The 22 00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:06,400 problem is is that it is still a very high 23 00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,240 Those are high crime cities, and so if you have 24 00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:12,159 a couple hundred murders last year and this year you 25 00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,560 have one hundred and ninety nine, your rates drop down, 26 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,400 but still it's terrible high crime city. 27 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:20,479 Speaker 2: Let me. 28 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,759 Speaker 1: Let me give you a little hint of the most 29 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,199 dangerous cities in this country. Let me give you the 30 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,360 list here. This is US News. Number one most dangerous 31 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,080 city is Memphis, Tennessee. No, it's a medium sized city, 32 00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:45,240 but it's it's number one. Number two is Oakland, California. 33 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,560 They have I mean it's the Bay area, but Oakland 34 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,879 has had a crime problem for a long long time. 35 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:58,840 Number three on the list Saint Louis, Missouri. Number four Baltimore. 36 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,840 There you go, mister. Number five is Detroit. So far 37 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,039 I haven't run into Chicago. But number six Alexandria, Louisiana. 38 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,520 It's not a big town. It's down in the Bayous 39 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,120 of Louisiana. Number seven is Cleveland. Number eight is New Orleans. 40 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:27,159 Number nine another small Louisiana town, Monroe. And number ten Pueblo, Colorado. 41 00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:31,960 So I don't know how US News skipped over Chicago, 42 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:37,360 but those are the most dangerous cities in America, according 43 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,199 to US News. I also have since a lot of 44 00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:45,680 this is they're talking about the president is going after 45 00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:50,080 blue cities run by Democrats. Well, I thought I'd take 46 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,080 a look who runs the cities in this country. This 47 00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:03,000 is ballot Pedia and they Yikiliopedia of American politics. Of 48 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:10,199 the top twenty cities population wise, the top twenty cities, 49 00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,840 how many are run by Democrats? Memory are run by Republicans. Well, 50 00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:23,040 eighteen by Democrats. Two Republicans are mayors of cities in 51 00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:30,560 the top twenty twenty one through forty four Republicans. Oh, 52 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,560 here we go. Forty one through sixty you got six republicans. 53 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,399 Numbers the size sixty one through eighty you back to 54 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:46,360 four Republicans, and eighty one through one hundred. As far 55 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:50,759 as population size, you've got nine Republicans. So it's sixty 56 00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:55,439 six Democrats for the one hundred largest cities the mayors 57 00:04:55,439 --> 00:05:00,199 are sixty six are mayor are Democrats, and twenty three 58 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,240 are Republicans, one is a libertarian, three are independent, and 59 00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:08,879 five are nonpartisans. So there's no question about it. The 60 00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:15,839 big cities are clearly run by mayors that are Democrats, 61 00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:18,680 and unfortunately, for a lot of the big cities, they 62 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,720 haven't been run well. They have problems not only crime, 63 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:28,959 but financial problems, trying to get jobs, the whole gamut 64 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,160 of being a mayor. So that's where the stats stack up, 65 00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:39,360 if you will. The President was out today with a 66 00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:45,279 bunch of executive orders, and they're interesting to see. He's 67 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,680 still don't remember the first day he was in office 68 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,480 for Trump two point zero. I mean, he was signing 69 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,319 executive orders all day long. So he's still doing that. 70 00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:02,319 And today he signed an executive order on cashless and 71 00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:05,519 I couldn't agree more with him on this. The idea 72 00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:09,920 of you get arrested for something, you get booked into 73 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,720 the jail, and you say I'd like to bail out, 74 00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:16,000 and they would say, well, put up a bail bond, 75 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,839 And now they just say, okay, there's the door, see 76 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:25,600 you later. Here's the President after signing the cashless bail 77 00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:27,800 executive order today. 78 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 2: That was when the big crime in this country started. 79 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,680 Any street all over the country, cashless bail were ending it. 80 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,839 But we're starting by ending it in DC. 81 00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: Now. 82 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: I think it's great. Even the people of California, they 83 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:47,800 had passed a law that changed a lot of felonies 84 00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:50,439 down to misdemeanors, and the misdemeanors they didn't have to 85 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,120 pass post any bail. You just were let out of jail, 86 00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:58,720 and crime skyrocketed in California. The people of California go 87 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:02,120 to a liberal California voted to say as this last 88 00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:05,399 in November, they said no, we're no work. We got 89 00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:09,399 to go back to actually making crimes felonies that are 90 00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:13,199 serious crimes, and we're also going to require bail. So 91 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:16,240 that even the liberals in California said, no, we made 92 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,399 a mistake on the casuals bail. In addition to the 93 00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:24,959 executive order about no more cashals bails, at least he's 94 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,639 starting with Washington d C. Because he has it's easy. 95 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,639 He has the authority clearly as the president over Washington, 96 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,279 d C. But he also signed a couple of other 97 00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:38,839 executive orders today. One was about burning the American flag, 98 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,600 which we'll get into. But in this other one about 99 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,399 crime in Washington, d C. He let me read I'm 100 00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:50,120 not going to read it to you, but for example, 101 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:55,279 he said, operational actions, the Director of the National Parks 102 00:07:55,319 --> 00:08:02,360 Service shall hire additional members of the park Police. Ah, 103 00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:06,199 he's adding he wants them to hire more police. Here's 104 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,759 another one that they shall establish an online portal for 105 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,680 Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds to apply 106 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,040 to join federal law enforcement entities. Another one in the 107 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,439 US Attorney's Office for DC shall hire additional prosecutors to 108 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,439 focus on prosecuting violent and property crimes. Next on this 109 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:34,960 executive order is the training, manning, hiring, and equipping and 110 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:41,159 specialized unit DC National Guard to basically ensure public safety. 111 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,919 What else is in here? I mean, it goes on 112 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,320 and on and on, but basically this is answering the 113 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,840 question that I have had all along is you're not 114 00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:55,559 going to solve crime in DC or anyplace else in 115 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,840 two weeks. You're going to need much more time, and 116 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,320 you're going to need to basically change the judges in 117 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,200 DC are letting people out. You've got to change the well, 118 00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:12,960 they changed the prosecutor. They've got to hire more police. 119 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,039 They've got to get rid of that DC Council which 120 00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:19,600 has passed all kinds of laws basically soft on crime. 121 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:23,120 So all those things. One of the executive vorders is 122 00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:26,039 not getting the attention of casual spail. But it is 123 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000 another executive order that he assigned today, basically going out 124 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:33,080 and wanting to hire a bunch of people to try 125 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,320 and make permanent the changes that he has made over 126 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,960 the last two weeks with the National Guard. Tom Bevitt 127 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,519 from Real Clear Politics, this is his view on it. 128 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:45,519 Speaker 2: It depends on who you talk to. 129 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,399 Speaker 4: Obviously, it's a very liberal city and Chicago it's very 130 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:49,559 similar to Washington, d c. 131 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: The murder rate is down, but still two hundred. 132 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 4: As of this week, two hundred and fifty six people 133 00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:59,000 have been killed in Chicago, which is won every twenty hours. 134 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,159 Speaker 2: And so the question is that tolerable? 135 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 4: Certainly, the crime occurs in a couple of parts of 136 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,039 the city, and so for a lot of people in Chicago, 137 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,120 you know, the city seems safe, but for the people 138 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,360 where the crime is actually occurring, it remains quite violent. 139 00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:17,720 And the question is why is that tolerable? Why have 140 00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:20,080 we come to tolerate that? Remember, Chicago has been ruled 141 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,639 by a Democratic mayor for the last ninety five years. 142 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,240 We haven't had a Republican statewide official in the state 143 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:29,320 since Bruce ronnerd left the governorship in twenty eighteen, so 144 00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:32,799 Democrats have a super majority in the state legislature, so 145 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,840 it is a completely one party rule state. And the 146 00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:39,000 question is why hasn't anything been done up to now? 147 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. We've talked on the radio program 148 00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:46,240 for years about the We usually on Mondays we would 149 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,039 have the body count from the weekend of shootings in Chicago. 150 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,679 And it literally is one of those where I would say, 151 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:58,440 over and over and over again, why isn't anybody doing 152 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,360 anything about this? Every week a number of people shot 153 00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:07,159 and killed and many many more wounded. And the reason 154 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,120 for it was it was happening in two areas, the 155 00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:14,120 West Side of Chicago and the South Side, and those 156 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,879 are low income, minority neighborhoods. And if you're not when 157 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,720 you're visiting Chicago going to those neighborhoods, what do you care? 158 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,240 They had a video of Governor Pritzker at six am 159 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,679 in the morning walking along the lake front of Chicago, 160 00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:36,399 and that was this morning, and he was panting because 161 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,039 he's so heavy, but he was panting away going to 162 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,399 look around, you see any crime? No, he was in 163 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,200 like the nicest area of Chicago at six am on 164 00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:50,120 a Monday morning. So it's one of those where they 165 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,679 really don't I mean, did governor of Illinois, did the 166 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,039 mayor of Chicago just say to the people who live 167 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,840 on the West Side and the South Side to basically 168 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,600 stuff it. We're not going to come help you. You 169 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,679 can go ahead and shoot each other and we're not 170 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,679 going to do a thing. And if you're a tourist 171 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:11,039 or a business person, you're visiting in Chicago, it's a 172 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,360 nice city. Oh and just to continue with that process, 173 00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:20,639 it's Monday twenty nine shootings over the weekend in Chicago 174 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,080 and for stabbings. So there you go, and they don't 175 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,159 do a thing about it. At the very least, President 176 00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:33,200 Trump is trying to embarrass him into doing something. Back 177 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,240 to Tom Bevan. 178 00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 2: Remember Brandon Johnson Mary Chicago. 179 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,159 Speaker 4: I think pole came out last week had him at 180 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,480 twenty six percent approval rating. He is the least popular 181 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,879 mayor in America. And that's actually up from where he was. 182 00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:46,960 He's climbed back a little bit. And look, I'm sure 183 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,879 fighting Trump will help rally people around him, as approval 184 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,120 rating will probably go up for the people in Chicago 185 00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:55,399 who don't want to see you know, National Guard there. 186 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,279 Speaker 2: But again, there are plenty of folks in. 187 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 4: Chicago who do think that the city is too violent 188 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,440 and who also think that Branda Johnson has spent millions 189 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,720 and millions of dollars leaning into being a sanctuary city 190 00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:10,960 and providing benefits for people who are here illegally instead 191 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,679 of the residents who want those resources. That this is 192 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,679 not an issue that's going to go away in the 193 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,879 next you know, six months, nine months, we could be 194 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,559 talking about this for a long time. And again, as 195 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,799 even though urner rates are down in some places around 196 00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:26,480 the country, the question is when you look at what's 197 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,840 been done in Washington, d C. No murders in the 198 00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:31,360 last nine days, I think maybe ten or eleven days now, 199 00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:33,840 why can't we have that in places like Chicago and 200 00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:34,440 other cities. 201 00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: We could if we had the political Yeah, if they 202 00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:40,080 had the political will, But they don't. So this gets 203 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,960 into then the president's power and does he I know 204 00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:46,679 he wants to do a lot of things, and on 205 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:50,960 executive orders, I'll repeat myself, executive orders make me nervous 206 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,360 because of the fact that the next president can reverse 207 00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,679 all of them and throw them out the door. So 208 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,720 the question comes down to who has the power to 209 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,279 change things going on in other cities. The president definitely 210 00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:11,399 has the power in Washington, d c. But Chicago, now, 211 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240 there's a lot of laws that say that states rights 212 00:14:14,799 --> 00:14:17,080 federal government cannot come in. The big boot of the 213 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,960 federal government cannot come in and tell states and cities 214 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,200 what to do. Andy McCarthy explains that. 215 00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:25,759 Speaker 3: Well, I think that it's a smart fight for him 216 00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:28,440 to pick politically. I don't think he's going to get 217 00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:33,120 very far with it legally, because it's Congress that actually 218 00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:38,399 ends up making the laws, including for the District of Columbia, 219 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,559 and it's Congress that sets the terms for funding to 220 00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:47,960 the states. So unless they've given the president a license 221 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,600 or an avenue to cut off the funding on account 222 00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:57,519 of state procedural criminal rules, he'll probably have a tough 223 00:14:57,559 --> 00:14:58,600 time in court with that. 224 00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: It of goes subject by subject. 225 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,759 Speaker 3: I think you're right that we're in a constant sort 226 00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:08,600 of battle over separation of powers. But if, for example, 227 00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:12,600 you're talking about something like immigration law, there's no doubt 228 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:16,320 that the president has the authority to dispatch whatever force 229 00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:20,320 he needs to in order to protect federal functions, and 230 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,519 the courts have found that the immigration enforcement is a 231 00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:27,279 federal function, but when you're talking about things like cutting 232 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,240 off funding, you're really on Congress's turf rather than the 233 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:34,000 executive branches, and it's a much more it's a much 234 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,879 tougher roe to ho. 235 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,799 Speaker 1: All right, but what about the executive order today saying 236 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,759 that no more cash bail? Can the president do that? 237 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,519 Speaker 3: Well, it's an argument that's gotten a long way with 238 00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:52,480 progressive legislatures throughout the country. I think it's a demagogic argument. 239 00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:56,039 The law in federal court, where we have people of 240 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,759 all races who are prosecuted, is that if a court 241 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:06,080 finds any condition or combination of conditions that can assure 242 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,039 that a defendant will come back to his court proceedings 243 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,639 or not threaten the public, then they can grant bail. 244 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,120 And there's a preference for granting bail, but there's no 245 00:16:16,799 --> 00:16:20,600 prohibition on putting a financial condition on it. And that's 246 00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:24,639 not driven by racism, it's driven by crime. It really 247 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,399 depends on what kind of area we're talking about. So, 248 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,080 for example, if you're talking about foreign affairs, the president 249 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,840 has very broad power. If you're talking about domestic affairs, 250 00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:39,879 there's a division of authority between the federal government and 251 00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:45,279 the state government when you're talking about the enforcement of law. 252 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,720 When the Constitution was adopted, originally the thought was that most, 253 00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:53,840 if not all, law enforcement was going to be done 254 00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:55,200 at the state level. 255 00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:57,399 Speaker 2: Now, we obviously have much. 256 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 3: More federal law enforcement than we had back then, but 257 00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:04,279 the states is still deemed to be supreme with respect 258 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:09,359 to the enforcement of criminal laws within their jurisdiction. So 259 00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:13,480 the extent to which the federal government can pressure them 260 00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:15,759 to adopt federal policies is minimal. 261 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:19,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, it all goes back to states rights. And if 262 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,920 in the Constitution it's spelled out the powers of the 263 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,400 federal government and it's very limited, and if it's not mentioned, 264 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,799 then it's the states that have the powers. The states 265 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,359 were it was designed that way to give the states 266 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,720 more power than a federal government. So that's the legal 267 00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:40,559 part of it. What about the political angle of all 268 00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:42,680 of this and who do we talk to? 269 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,519 Speaker 5: Of course, Carl Rove look smart Democrats. Think about the 270 00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:51,119 mayor of San Francisco, a business guy, moderate Democrat, ran 271 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,960 as a law enforcement, pro law enforcement Democrat and got 272 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,039 elected in one of the most liberal cities in America. 273 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,559 And Democrats, if there were smart would sort of mirror 274 00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:04,839 the approach of Bill Clinton, who in the run up 275 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,680 to the eight nineteen ninety six election realized the Democrats 276 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,799 that were on the soft side of the crime issue, 277 00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:13,240 and so he called for adding five hundred thousand new 278 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,519 policemen across the country with federal support. 279 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: So you know this is a problem. 280 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,519 Speaker 2: You're right. 281 00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 5: The lived experience of real people in their cities caused 282 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,440 them to believe that things are more random, more violent, 283 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,759 and more dangerous, and they're not made comfortable by things 284 00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:36,119 like cashless bail and soft a soft on crime prosecutor. Yeah, 285 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,319 and the issue of cashlest bail is going to become 286 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,960 an issue in the governor's race. A congresswoman from the 287 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,200 north upstate New York who's thinking about running for the 288 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,079 Republican nomination to oppose local at least Stephonic is going 289 00:18:53,079 --> 00:18:53,920 to make this an issue. 290 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: Now. 291 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,559 Speaker 5: She's put forward legislation which has no chance of getting 292 00:18:57,599 --> 00:19:00,920 past Congress. Remember, it requires sixty votes the Senate, and 293 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,599 that would mean you'd have to have a number of 294 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,160 Democrats join with them in supporting a federal action to 295 00:19:06,319 --> 00:19:09,480 prohibit states from having casualless bail. But it's a nice 296 00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:11,720 political issue for her to use. She can say I'm 297 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,400 in favor of ending Casuless bail and Governor Hochel is not, 298 00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:17,440 and Lisa is going to use that issue to her 299 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,519 advantage and the governor's race, and probably helped drive up 300 00:19:20,519 --> 00:19:23,519 her numbers not only in the out state but also 301 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,160 in the city of New York, where this has had 302 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,240 an adverse reaction among a lot of voters who are 303 00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:36,400 nominal Democrats. And speaking of criminals, Kilmar Abrego Garcia back 304 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,720 in the news today. On Friday, a judge released him 305 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,119 and so he had the weekend and today at seven 306 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,559 am this morning, he went over to the Federal Building 307 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,960 in Baltimore and they took him into custody and they 308 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,000 basically they're laying out an option for him. He can 309 00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:02,880 go ahead and plead guilty to the charges of smuggling 310 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,000 and the other things that they have him on and 311 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:09,839 they will send him to Costa Rica, or he can 312 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,799 fight it and when they're done and they have him convicted, 313 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:20,440 they will send him to Uganda. So that's yeah. So anyway, 314 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,000 he was at the Baltimore Federal Building this morning. Listen, 315 00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:28,200 this is a guy who's been accused of wife beating, 316 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,680 being accused of being MS thirteen being accused. And this 317 00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:35,720 is the case that he's supposed to show up in court. 318 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,400 I think it's in January, but he's not going to 319 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,519 be around it for that. He's going to be gone 320 00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:45,559 before then. Regarding smuggling, they caught him I think in Tennessee. 321 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,799 The highway patrol pulled him over for speeding and he 322 00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:53,519 had a car full of illegals and he's apparently was 323 00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:57,279 was charged with that, but it was also accusations of 324 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,240 he was doing that over and over and over. That 325 00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:02,960 was that he was making his money. So good old 326 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:09,119 Abrego Garcia is back in the news and we'll see 327 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,480 where he goes. Does he go to Costa Rica or 328 00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:15,880 does he go to Uganda. Remember, he did have a 329 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,039 court hearing. He's had a couple of them now, so 330 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,079 it's not like he has not had his day in court. 331 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,000 And he was ordered to be deported and he said, 332 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:29,759 but I'm afraid because El Salvador is scary, and they said, okay, 333 00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:33,000 you can wait, and that's how this whole thing came 334 00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:39,319 to a head. Here's Jonathan Faye, former ICE director, about 335 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,200 Abregio Garcia today. 336 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 2: I don't think it will bring it to an end. 337 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 6: But the end is coming for Albrego Garcia in terms 338 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,119 of being able to be free on American soil. He's 339 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,960 going to be deported. And one of the things that's interesting, 340 00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:55,599 this judge in Tennessee kind of created this whole issue 341 00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:58,559 by releasing him, putting ice on the spot that they 342 00:21:58,599 --> 00:22:01,559 have to deport him because he's a danger to the community. 343 00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:05,640 And being on electronic monitoring simply means somebody is on 344 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,920 a bracelet that they decide to cut off and do 345 00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:11,400 harm to Americans or try to escape, we have to 346 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,039 go and try to find them, which is not in 347 00:22:13,079 --> 00:22:15,519 the entrance of public safety. So I don't think it 348 00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:17,400 will end, but it will end for him as far 349 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,400 as being free on American soil. He's going to be deported. 350 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,519 He might go home or go somebody somewhere else. He's 351 00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:27,279 already had due process and a judge ordered him deported, 352 00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:30,160 And the only reason he wasn't deported to l Salvador 353 00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:33,119 is because he claimed he'd be in danger there. And 354 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,480 now we also know things have changed in El Salvador, 355 00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:39,720 where it's significantly safer, certainly significantly safer than the state 356 00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:42,759 of Maryland these days. So yes, he's been deported, he's 357 00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:45,319 been ordered deported. He can go home to El Salvador, 358 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,799 he could go somewhere else, but this administration is crystal 359 00:22:48,839 --> 00:22:50,680 clear he doesn't get to stay here. 360 00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:54,559 Speaker 1: I got the feeling that this we're not we haven't 361 00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:58,920 heard the end of the Regio Garcia adventure. But I 362 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:04,160 hope so, I hope this actually gets solved. I've been 363 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,400 ranting about Intel. At Intel fine whatever, they were a 364 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,599 giant and now they're not. But it was the news 365 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,400 that came out about the fact that the President has 366 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,160 said we want ten percent ownership of Intel. The Chips 367 00:23:20,319 --> 00:23:25,559 Act was passed by Congress and signed by President Biden. 368 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,559 It gave billions of dollars to chip companies that are 369 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,880 making chips here in the US, and Intel got to 370 00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:36,279 I forget the exact amount, but it was a huge 371 00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:39,839 amount of that money went to Intel, and they're having 372 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,880 all kinds of problem. You can throw money at them 373 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,880 and they still are not able to compete with the 374 00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:49,640 big boys out there in the world, the Taiwan Semiconductor 375 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:57,640 in that crowd. So the idea of the government owning 376 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,039 a piece of a company, and this is where I 377 00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:04,279 truly believe President Trump has been in the world of 378 00:24:04,279 --> 00:24:07,400 the private sector for most of his life doing business deals. 379 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:11,039 He loves doing deals, and this was a deal where 380 00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:12,839 he said, I'll tell you what. We gave you all 381 00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:14,920 that money a couple of years ago, why don't we 382 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,480 just convert it into ten percent ownership. I don't want 383 00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:22,960 the government involved in the private sector. There is something 384 00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:26,079 beautiful about this country where the private sector is not 385 00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:29,240 interfered with by the government. And I don't care what 386 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,079 you say. If you own ten percent of a company, 387 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,960 you can interfere. Doesn't they say, oh, no, we're not 388 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,079 going to interfere. No, no, no, we won't do that. 389 00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:45,680 I think they will mohammaedel Arian, highly respected economists had 390 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,559 this observation. 391 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,079 Speaker 7: So I'm getting nervous at this notion that this is 392 00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:52,160 beyond Intel's. The only thing I like about this Intel 393 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,720 transaction is a message of the private sector. 394 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,039 Speaker 2: There is no free lunch. 395 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 7: Are you going to think if you're going to think 396 00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:00,880 money from the government, don't think it comes from free However, 397 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,000 I worry about two things. I worry about this spreading 398 00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:08,240 and I worry about the lack of respect between in 399 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:12,839 this critical difference between ownership and control. Ownership is fine, 400 00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:18,000 starting to impact business decision is really problematic. As Kevin said, 401 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,519 what distinguishes the US from the rest of the world 402 00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:25,480 is a dynamic, entrepreneurial private sector that we act quickly. 403 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,799 And I just would be very nervous if suddenly we 404 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,240 go into a world in which the government starts impacting 405 00:25:35,559 --> 00:25:38,599 lots of business decisions. Yeah, and I go back, it's 406 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,279 between ownership and control. If they want to have ownership, 407 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,640 if a sovereign wealth fund wants to have a stake 408 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,880 in corporate US, Okay, that's fine, but please don't go 409 00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:57,160 anywhere control business decision influences. That is a very slippery slope. 410 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,559 Countries have gone down that slope and it ends up 411 00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:04,720 by undermining the economic HEALTHLOK and phospharity. 412 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: Okay, Mohammed, I'm right there with you. Here's another major 413 00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:16,880 conservative over at AEI, the American Enterprise Institute, Jimmy Pethcoccus, 414 00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:20,279 and he's also very concerned. 415 00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:24,759 Speaker 8: Well, it means that the point of this company, and 416 00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:28,559 the point of the of the original substance promised to 417 00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:31,039 Intel was that this is a this would be a 418 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:36,720 key component in creating more resilience for chip making, which 419 00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:37,480 is so important. 420 00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: So like that was the point. 421 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 8: Uh So, if that's the point, then I'm not sure 422 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:49,000 exactly what problem is this stake supposed to solve other. 423 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 2: Than that the fact that the president likes the idea 424 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:52,640 of it. 425 00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:56,559 Speaker 8: He likes the idea of doing deals, and he likes 426 00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:59,079 the idea apparently taking and if you go with Ama 427 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:04,640 just said, there's a potential expansive list of companies that 428 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,519 that could be up for more of these kinds of deals. 429 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,559 So I guess, I guess in the end, I'm just 430 00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:12,599 a little confused, like what problem is being solved here? 431 00:27:13,559 --> 00:27:16,799 I tend to think that actually, you're creating new problems 432 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,160 by creating companies which seem dependent on the government, which 433 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,519 may have policymaking now part of their politics, part of 434 00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:27,519 their policy making. I can see plenty of downsides. I 435 00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:28,880 just failed to see the upside. 436 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:34,319 Speaker 1: Okay, Mohammad and Jimmy Pethicocis, both of them are highly 437 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:40,680 regarded because they're thoughtful, conservative, very smart men. So let's 438 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,680 throw in a couple more. How about Larry Kudlow, who 439 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,039 was the economic guy in Trump one point zero and 440 00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:51,640 Steven Moore an economist. Here's what they think about the 441 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,640 Intel deal with the government. 442 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: Have you ever heard. 443 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,839 Speaker 9: Joan Powell talking about the economic benefits of deregulation and 444 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,400 pro energy policy in the tax cuts. So you're exactly right. 445 00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:05,119 All I'm saying is that many of us on the 446 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,799 right and free marketeers have been saying, you know, ultimately, 447 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,359 you know, taxes, business taxes are oftentimes passed on to consumers, 448 00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:14,319 and this is a case where I think some of 449 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,319 them are. But look, Trump is triumphing here. The big 450 00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:20,200 deal that he got with the Brits, the deal that 451 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,960 he got with the Europeans amazing. I mean, he's telling me, 452 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,279 and he's told the country, and I'm bringing hundreds of 453 00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:26,400 billions of dollars of. 454 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 10: Capital, and he's got this, He's got this buydown side 455 00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:33,119 hustle where trillions of dollars are coming in to the 456 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,119 country to invest and create factories. 457 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:38,359 Speaker 2: And by the way, let me say even one thing 458 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,200 I want to say, not the CBO re estimated today. 459 00:28:43,839 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 10: I think they're now saying over ten years, four trillion 460 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,440 in tariff related revenue. 461 00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 2: It's a big number, four trillion. Huge. 462 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 9: I wonder if they're going to count that in their 463 00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:59,559 estimates about the impact of Trump's plan, because they're those 464 00:28:59,559 --> 00:29:01,759 same people say that it's going to cost, you know, 465 00:29:01,839 --> 00:29:04,480 trillions and trillions of dollars of lost revenue. What I 466 00:29:04,519 --> 00:29:06,319 was going to say is that the terrasts that I 467 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,920 do not like, and I'm going to say this that 468 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:09,200 I know. 469 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,839 Speaker 2: Don't watching it. I don't like that. 470 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,079 Speaker 9: I don't like the seal terraces and the littum terraces. 471 00:29:13,079 --> 00:29:15,720 I think they're causing more havoc in our manufacturing than 472 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,200 they're helping. 473 00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 10: How about owning, how about the US government owning ten 474 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:20,599 percent and intel? 475 00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 9: I hate corporate welfare as privatization and reverse we want 476 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,839 the government to divest of assets, not by assets. So 477 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:31,160 terrible and one of the bad ideas that's come out 478 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:31,759 of this White House. 479 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 10: I am very very uncomfortable with that idea. 480 00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: I'm very uncomfortable with that one. But that's Chris for 481 00:29:38,759 --> 00:29:40,240 another mill on another day. 482 00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:45,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, So Steve Moore hates the idea. It's it's corporate 483 00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:48,799 welfare and it's the opposite of privatization, which makes America 484 00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:52,799 so much of a shining city on the hill and 485 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,880 even cudlass as I'm that was his way of saying 486 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,279 I don't like. 487 00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: This at all. 488 00:29:56,759 --> 00:30:00,799 Speaker 1: I'm very very nervous about it. All right, one more 489 00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:02,599 business story, and that's the one that I have. I 490 00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:06,119 don't know, it's kind of a silly story. It's about 491 00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:10,240 Cracker Barrel. I never knew about Cracker Barrel. I lived 492 00:30:10,279 --> 00:30:13,400 on the West Coast most of my life, and yet 493 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,799 my wife grew up on the East Coast, and she 494 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,839 talked about Cracker Barrel. So we were actually coming from 495 00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:23,319 DC back up to New York and there was a 496 00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:25,279 Cracker bill just off the side of the highway and 497 00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:31,519 we stopped and I just thought it was amazing. The 498 00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:35,480 food was I mean, fried chicken and mashed potatoes and 499 00:30:35,519 --> 00:30:38,880 corn and beans. Just it was absolutely great. It's just 500 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,480 an old, old fashioned place. And I started thinking about 501 00:30:43,519 --> 00:30:45,200 it with all the hubbub about the fact that some 502 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,079 junior vice president is changing the logo and changing the 503 00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:53,240 decor and changing the menu at Cracker Barrel, and I thought, 504 00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:56,920 the thing about Crackerbil, which you know you don't hear, 505 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,240 is you don't hear anybody arguing about it. People on 506 00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:04,480 the left love Cracker Barrel, people on the right love 507 00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:10,759 Cracker Barrel. We found something that we all find in 508 00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:18,039 a very lighthearted way, cherished memories. So Cracker Bell, what's 509 00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:21,160 the matter with this company that Wall Street punished and 510 00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:24,079 badly when they announced that they were going to change everything? 511 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:30,039 Byron Donald's the congressman from Florida, he is all upset too, 512 00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:33,920 but he also worked there when he was in college. 513 00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 11: I think the new logo sucks. I don't even understand it. 514 00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:39,720 I saw some of the new renovations. It looks like 515 00:31:39,799 --> 00:31:43,640 it came out of somebody's Pinterest account. It doesn't make 516 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,559 any sense. I saw last night they started changing the menu. 517 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,920 Cracker Barrel Old Country store is a staple of America. 518 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,759 Everybody goes there when they're on a highway to go 519 00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:56,160 get some good breakfast. The hash brown casserole is amazing. 520 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,880 Trust me, I served so much of it when I 521 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,759 was in college. People just want to go, oh, eat 522 00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:04,279 great food and enjoy, you know, just the store. It's 523 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,400 very to change that because you think you need to 524 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,240 do something new. I think they're gonna find out it's 525 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,200 not gonna work. Look, Bob Evans has great breakfast, but 526 00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:15,519 Bob Evans and Cracker Barrel are two different stores. 527 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: Just let Cracker Barrel be cracker barrel. Bring back Uncle Herschel. 528 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: Amen to Congressman Byron Donald, bring back Uncle Herschel. I 529 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,200 don't know what's the matter with these people. Do they 530 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,079 not know anything about tradition? I don't think they do. 531 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,160 All right, let's see what Wall Street did today. It's 532 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,119 last week of August and there's usually a lot of 533 00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:42,400 people that are missing on Wall Street. They're on vacation. 534 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,599 I don't know if they were missing, but they certainly 535 00:32:44,599 --> 00:32:49,160 weren't buying the market today. Fell down down three hundred 536 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,079 and forty nine to close it forty five thousand and two, 537 00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:56,839 eighty two, SMP down, twenty seven, nasdack down forty seven, 538 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,880 go down eight bucks to thirty four. There's a green 539 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,319 arrow with oil. It was up a dollar to sixty 540 00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:08,880 four dollars and some change. That's it for today. Thank 541 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,880 you for coming by. We'll be here tomorrow. Hope to 542 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:12,400 see you then.
