1 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: And here we go. Welcome one and all to the 2 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:30,359 Big Podcast on this Wednesday. Today is the twentieth day 3 00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:33,920 of May, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. My 4 00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:37,960 name is Tom Sullivan. And well, yesterday we spent some 5 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,399 time talking about the fact that there were six states 6 00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:45,320 that were having their primaries. And the interesting thing about 7 00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:49,880 the primaries, there's a number of them. This is kind 8 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,679 of the busy time for primaries May and June. And 9 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,840 what a lot of the pointy heads in Washington that 10 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,799 follow the politics closely point out is that a lot 11 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,159 of Republicans, especially members of Congress but also Senators, because 12 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,599 the gap between Republican and Democrat control is so narrow 13 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,760 for both of them, that a lot of Republicans are 14 00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:20,359 not going to cross the path of Donald Trump, no way, no, 15 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,560 how so whatever he says, they go, yes, sir. And 16 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,799 after the primaries are over, then it's expected that a 17 00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:36,920 lot of the Republicans may actually start singing slightly different 18 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,519 tunes because they won't be afraid of Donald Trump, because 19 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,400 the primaries will be behind them, and two years from 20 00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:45,959 now Donald Trump will still be there. He may go 21 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,840 after them in twenty twenty eight, but for right now, 22 00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:53,799 they're worried about November of this year. So we told 23 00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:04,640 you that the five state senators in Indiana, the five 24 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:06,840 or six anyway, Donald Trump got all but one of 25 00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:11,599 them basically primary, and they're out. And then we had Saturday. 26 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:19,759 We had Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana and he was trounced. 27 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,800 He came in third because again he crossed Donald Trump's 28 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,960 path and Trump went after him and endorsed. Actually, the 29 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,879 woman that won, he only endorsed. She just jumped into 30 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,280 the race a couple of months ago. And then last night, 31 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,439 the big one that everybody was watching was Tom Massey, 32 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,039 the congressman from Kentucky, and a lot of people thought 33 00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:45,159 it was going to be close, and it well, it 34 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,360 was closer than the others, but he still lost by 35 00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:54,039 ten points. This guy, Gowering gowerin we don't even know 36 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,879 how to pronounce his name yet, got fifty five percent 37 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,240 of the vote and Tom Massey got forty five percent 38 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,080 of the vote. But Massey, he's an interesting guy because 39 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,919 he's very much an independent maverick. And so at his 40 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:14,599 election party last night, he didn't have his chin down 41 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,319 on the floor. He did not sound dejected at all. 42 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,039 In fact, it sounds like he is still going to 43 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,120 try to make trouble for Donald Trump until he's out 44 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:26,960 in January. He says, i still have more than six 45 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,199 months to go, and I'm going to be well exact. 46 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,599 Tom Tillis from North Carolina said I'm not going to 47 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,599 rerun and has been a thorn in the side of 48 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,680 Donald Trump. So watch Tom Massey be even more of 49 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:42,240 a pain in the posterior for the president over the 50 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,840 next six months. And then he kind of indicated that 51 00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:49,960 it's only two years until the next election and that 52 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,240 he's going to be making trouble during that period out 53 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,520 of office. But as a guy who has a pretty 54 00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:01,599 powerful political machine in the state of he got a 55 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,599 lot of county people elected, and just a lot of 56 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:10,919 people owe Tom Massey a debt of gratitude, and well, 57 00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:13,520 I'll let you listen. This is a couple different clips 58 00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:15,520 from his election party last night. 59 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,199 Speaker 2: While gas is almost five dollars in diesels, almost six 60 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:23,680 they're talking about this big ballroom they're going to build, 61 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,279 and it looks it looks like the Roman Empire. 62 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,199 Speaker 3: Architecture from the Roman Empire. 63 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: I'd see a few analogies there, and people are just 64 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560 trying to make ends meet. There is a yearning in 65 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,240 this country for somebody who will vote for principles over party. 66 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,800 You all don't like bullies and you don't tolerate them, 67 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,160 and I love you for it. Now as an election 68 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,199 and it turned into a movement, we weren't really running 69 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,519 against ed Galryan, we weren't running against Donald Trump. 70 00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 4: We were running for what we believe in. 71 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's Massy. And he is officially a Republican, 72 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,759 but he's very libertarian and he marches to a different 73 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,560 drum than most of the others. He voted against the 74 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,480 Big Beautiful Bill because of the fact that he thought 75 00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:22,439 it would be financially too much money, and he was saying, 76 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,079 I'm a conservative, fiscal conservative, and I think that's putting 77 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,120 as our nation more in debt. So that's why he 78 00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,600 voted against that. But that was another vote that Donald 79 00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:35,839 Trump said, you're voting against my wishes. So, I mean, 80 00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:40,319 he's always been a maverick. But we'll see what happens 81 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:44,120 from here, but expect him to not go quietly, let 82 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,600 me put it that way. And then Texas, where the 83 00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:51,519 President picked Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, over 84 00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:57,680 John Cornyan, the current longtime Republican Senator from Texas, and 85 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,240 that leaves Cornyn in a real pickle. But but the 86 00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:06,279 problem with this is maybe Cornyan will lose the primary, 87 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,600 which is coming up in a week. But what about 88 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:18,639 the general election where there's this Democrat who is catching 89 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,759 a lot of people on the on the left for 90 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:29,040 sure on Fire's names Tall Rico, young guy, and he 91 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,040 he may surprise people going up against If Ken Paxton 92 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,240 is his opponent, that's still I don't see Texas turning blue. 93 00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:39,560 But tallar Rico is going to give Paxxton a pretty 94 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,560 good run because Paxton has such a checkered background. Here's 95 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,600 the president today. He was going up to Connecticut for 96 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,639 the Coastguard Academy graduation and before he got on Air 97 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,639 Force one, this is what he had to say. 98 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,399 Speaker 5: Great Candida. I believe in Texas, and I believe that 99 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:02,439 Texas candidates Ken Paxton. I think he'll win. I think 100 00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:05,800 probably he'll win very substantially, and I think he'll go 101 00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:09,639 on to defeat a very defective candidate, a candidate that 102 00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:13,360 believes in six genders and he takes its to Jesus 103 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,279 Christ and he's wearing a mask six months ago. Where's 104 00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:21,079 anybody wearing a mask six months ago? Doesn't get it? 105 00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:25,319 And he's a vegan. Who's a vegan in Texas? And 106 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,439 you can't get elected as a vegan in Texas. 107 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,879 Speaker 2: If you talked to Senate leadership on the Republican side 108 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,399 of bounding will sing it against and I. 109 00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:36,439 Speaker 5: Did, I did. They'll be all right with it. They 110 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,519 want to win. I know how to win. Some of 111 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,199 them don't know how to win. I know how to win. 112 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,959 I think I've proven that, haven't I. 113 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: So we'll find out about Texas in I think it's 114 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,480 the first week of June. What's that the next week? 115 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 6: I believe? 116 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: So it's politics is alive, and well, let me put 117 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,920 it that way. One of the other top stories today, 118 00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:06,000 the Department of Justice has gotten an indictment against Raoul 119 00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:11,879 Castro yep Faddel's brother, who has been the leader. He's 120 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,279 ninety five years old. He's been the leader of Cuba. 121 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,600 He has stepped semi aside, but he still is the 122 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,639 controlling force. He still runs the military. He still tells 123 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,759 the others what to do, what not to do. And 124 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,240 it goes back to an incident that took place thirty 125 00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:35,360 years ago when Bill Clinton was president and there were 126 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:41,600 two airplanes with two people in both airplanes, and they 127 00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:47,840 were flying apparently into Cuban airspace and Cuba shot them down, 128 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,360 and there was a huge ruckets at the time, but 129 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:57,360 nothing happened. Well, today the DOJ has announced this indictment 130 00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:00,039 against Raoul Castro because he was in charge of the 131 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,759 military then he still is to somewhat extent today and 132 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,039 said that they charged him with murder. This is act. 133 00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:11,480 Let's go back to nineteen ninety six. Here's Bill Clinton 134 00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:13,639 talking about it. When it happened. 135 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: The planes posed no credible threat to Cuba's security, although 136 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:23,279 the group that operated the planes had entered Cuban airspace 137 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,399 in the past on other flights. This is no excuse 138 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,240 for the attack and provides let me emphasize, no legal 139 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,159 basis under international law for the attack. 140 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: But nothing we've done other than the President gave a 141 00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:45,159 firmly awarded statement and everybody went their own direction. Well, 142 00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:49,919 Francis Soirez, who was the former mayor of Miami, weighed 143 00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:53,399 in on what happened then and what happened today. 144 00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 7: I think what's important first is to note that the 145 00:09:57,159 --> 00:10:00,320 president didn't do anything in response to that attack time 146 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,080 President Clinton. And so what you're seeing here is a 147 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,679 case where justice delayed is not justice denied. You have 148 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,720 President Trump, thirty years after the incident, which occurred in 149 00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:15,320 nineteen ninety six, finally taking action, finally holding the Cuban 150 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,360 government accountable, finally holding Raoul Castro, the person who ordered 151 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,240 the assassination, accountable. And I think that demonstrates the difference 152 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,679 between President Trump and frankly presidents that are Republican and 153 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,440 Democrats that have come before him. He's a person of action. 154 00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:32,840 We've seen it in Venezuela, We've seen it, of course 155 00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,480 in Iran, and we're seeing it now in Cuba. This 156 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,639 is the final chapter of the Castro dictatorship, which has 157 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,120 been incredibly repressive, and which has assassinated its political enemies 158 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,879 and jailed its political enemies O Carli Rissette and of 159 00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:51,279 course so many thousands of others. And this is the 160 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,399 first chapter God willing of the freedom of the Cuban people. 161 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,759 So it's a watershed day. It happens on Cuban Independence Day, 162 00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:00,799 which I think is incredibly significant. It's not lost on 163 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,279 the Administration Secretary of Michael Rubio Attorney General, Todd Blanche, 164 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:08,639 Jason Redding, King Jung, who is the attorney a US 165 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,519 Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Rick Scott, and 166 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,399 of course Ashley Moody, which will be at the Freedom 167 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,240 Tower today announcing this indictment. 168 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:15,519 Speaker 5: Yeah. 169 00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:20,639 Speaker 1: So the people, the Cuban exiles, Cuban people, Cuban nationals, Americans, 170 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,840 given Americans, they're all excited about this. And it ties 171 00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:31,639 in with President Trump, Venezuela, escapade of Iran, all the 172 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,639 other things he has talked about, Greenland, I mean, all this, 173 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,600 and so he's got his eyes on Cuba, and Cuba 174 00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:40,399 has got to be getting a little bit nervous. They 175 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:43,960 don't have they're out of oil. They don't get any 176 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,799 oil from Venezuela anymore, and Russia has been cut off 177 00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:50,480 as far as killing them anything. So they have no energy. 178 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,600 It's black at night, there's no power. I don't know 179 00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:59,000 how the people are cooking anything. But so a couple 180 00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:02,799 of days ago, John the CIA director here in the US, 181 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,840 went to Cuba to meet with the top officials there. 182 00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:11,879 Here's Francis Suarez again talking about it. 183 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 7: It's very clear what came of it because the CIA 184 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:16,039 director tweeted about it. He put it on his social 185 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,039 media He said, do not fall into the same trap 186 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,039 as Venezuela. It's a very clear message. The strategy of 187 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,039 the United States has been executed in a very consistent fashion. 188 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,840 They go after the top while they negotiate. I call 189 00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:33,879 it the bullnstrict strategy. They get a tighten and tighten 190 00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:38,000 the pressure around the country in question as they negotiate 191 00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:41,639 from a stronger position of authority. And then if the 192 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:45,080 powers that be don't pay attention, take the presidents will 193 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:48,919 and resolve for granted or don't act in conformity with 194 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,919 at some level the reasonable requests of the United States. 195 00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:55,120 The United States acts, and they have taken dramatic action, 196 00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:58,879 actions that have never been done before by any US president. 197 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,559 We just saw on your show, you know, President Clinton 198 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,320 clearly saying that what the Cuban government did violated international law. 199 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,480 These were unarmed planes, they were assassinated, and what are 200 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,919 the US two? It did nothing? And what's the message 201 00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:13,559 that it sends to the world that they can do 202 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,519 whatever they want, BacT with impunity and the US is 203 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,360 not going to hold them accountable. God has ended under 204 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,039 this presidency. 205 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: Well, the people in Miami, especially all of South Florida. 206 00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:24,919 There's a lot of Cuban Americans there and they are 207 00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:28,240 excited about the fact that there was a news conference 208 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,639 and Todd Blanche went down to Miami to make the 209 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:39,039 announcement about the indictment against Raoul and the two congress 210 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,240 people that represent that part of this of Florida, Maria 211 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:48,440 Alvirus Salazar and Carlos Hemenez, they're just coming out of 212 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,600 their shoes. They're so excited. 213 00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 8: Well, thank you for the opportunity. And I just was 214 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,480 telling Carlos that that scene that we that you guys 215 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,840 are broadcasting is my district, is the heart of District 216 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,720 number twenty seven, the city of Miami, and today is 217 00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:08,720 a glorious day for our community, my community, Carlos community, 218 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,879 South Florida, because justice will be done. And do we 219 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,759 know that being indicted by a federal brand jury is 220 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,279 very serious stuff. The first thing that I want to 221 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,879 say is thank you President Trump, because after ten administrations 222 00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:26,279 Republicans and Democrats, this president has had the courage to 223 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:29,960 bring two Americans who were dead on the Florida Straits 224 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,440 to justice. But not only that, is that Cuba is 225 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:36,559 the number one enemy in the Western hemisphere for this country. 226 00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 9: Oh no, no, going never make the mistake to somehow 227 00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:44,480 Raoul Castro is far removed from the politics, really, the 228 00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:47,720 ruling class, the government. Really there's a government inside of 229 00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:53,279 government in Cuba is GAYSA. GUYSA is a corporation of 230 00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:58,600 military personnel that's headed by Raoul Castro. Have they ConTroll 231 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,879 seventy percent of theomy of Cuba. So indicting Roll Castro 232 00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:07,519 and if we somehow bring him to justice here in 233 00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:10,639 the United States is a very clear signal from this 234 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,559 administration that you know, they're not there's a new sheriff 235 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,279 in town. We're not going to be playing around with 236 00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:20,879 America's number one threat in our hemisphere, which is Cuba. 237 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,279 And then we mean business. I mean, you know, Noriega 238 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,159 found that out, I guess in Panama. Maduro found that 239 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,279 out a couple of months ago in Venezuela, and things 240 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:33,879 are changing there. I would expect that something similar may 241 00:15:33,919 --> 00:15:37,039 be happening in Cuba. Now, what this does, it gives 242 00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:40,200 the President of the United States options that he can 243 00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:43,240 exercise in order to bring about the change that is 244 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,519 needed not only for the Cuban people but for the 245 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:47,960 security of the United States. 246 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 8: We did to context for your audience. For your audience, 247 00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:55,039 let's put into context with the average American viewer. Castro 248 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,480 and the Cuba regime has been the platform, the launching 249 00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:04,679 pad for the last sixty years for enemies Russia, China, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas. 250 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,639 Nothing good comes from Cuba. Unfortunately, the Cuban people are 251 00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:12,639 eleven million slaves and this president, President Trump, is the 252 00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:15,679 one who is recognizing that and doing something about it. 253 00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:19,679 So and this indictment is just one of many of 254 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,919 atrocities that the counts have committed. And we are very 255 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:24,320 fleasing that is happening today. 256 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: So they went on to make many points about the 257 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,279 security of the United States. Apparently Russia has and China 258 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,799 have listening posts in Cuba that are I don't know 259 00:16:35,799 --> 00:16:39,320 how much range they have, but they're definitely listening to 260 00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:42,759 somebody or something here in the United States. Can they 261 00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:46,679 listen to Miami, probably pretty easily. Can they listen to Washington, 262 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,440 d C. I don't know. But they also have drones, 263 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,759 and that's the concern that the people in Miami now 264 00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:59,279 with all these drones being used in warfare. It's only 265 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,919 ninety mile from Cuba to Miami, and will Cuba do 266 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:10,279 that just to make trouble? So will Raoul Castro. If 267 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,440 I was him, I would lock my bedroom door at 268 00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:16,200 night because he might be looking at the same thing. 269 00:17:16,279 --> 00:17:21,359 You could hear. Carlos Amenez was basically baking. Go get him, 270 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,359 just like we did Noriega, just like we did Maduro 271 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,839 Make you'll grab him and put him in a US jail. 272 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,039 So that's what's going on out of Cuba today. But 273 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,759 that story is not going to go away. But so 274 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,880 we're also we're not talking about Iran. We're talking about Cuba, 275 00:17:40,079 --> 00:17:43,160 and focus over there, look over here, don't look over there. 276 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,920 But we're going to keep looking over there. And Kirk Leopold, 277 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,799 who was the commanding officer of the USS COAL when 278 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:56,359 it was attacked, was asked about the fact that the 279 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,839 president keeps talking about maybe a couple of days, couple weeks. 280 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,119 I don't know. I'm not in a hurry. Will there 281 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,440 be a military strike in Iran? Yes or no? Here's 282 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,319 the commander. 283 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 4: For forty seven years, Iran has used time to their 284 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,200 advantage in order to carry out terrorist attacks around the world. 285 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,319 I think it's a matter of not if, but when 286 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,799 we are going to unfortunately have to continue combat operations 287 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,519 because the Iranians are still coming to the table. They 288 00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:31,319 are fusing to negotiate, they are engaged in information warfare, 289 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,799 clearly indicating that the IRGC is unwilling to give up power. 290 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,559 So therefore they're putting the United States in the awkward 291 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,240 position despite this diplomacy, that we are going to have 292 00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:44,200 to continue this fight in order to bring them further 293 00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:47,359 to their knees and make them realize what our redlines 294 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,759 are and that they must give in to them. 295 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,519 Speaker 1: Well, he's speaking pretty much like General Jack Keane speaks, 296 00:18:54,599 --> 00:18:58,000 And the General had this to say last night. 297 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 10: Weeks into what we're supposed to be a two week 298 00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:07,039 deadline to get a deal. The reality is they will 299 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:12,599 work very hard and with major acceleration to do what 300 00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:16,400 to turn that deal around, to reverse it, to cheat 301 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,359 on it. And the only way you could have to 302 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,359 make a deal that would have a long term effect 303 00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:25,000 would be if we were making a deal with other people, 304 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,640 not these people who are running the regime. So there's 305 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,039 limitations to the deal itself, and the President is not 306 00:19:31,079 --> 00:19:32,279 going to make a bad deal here. 307 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: Back to Commander Leopold, right, now there is no way 308 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:40,279 unless we return to combat operations. Clearly, Iran is going 309 00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:42,640 to use the straight of poor mouse and the chokehold 310 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,079 that they have on the world's will supply going out 311 00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:47,920 from the Middle East as a leverage point, and we 312 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,920 are going to have to engage at some point to 313 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,200 do that. General King was absolutely correct when you look 314 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,599 at it, it is going to take Any deal we 315 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,319 have has got to be verified, verify verified. There is 316 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,079 no trust the Iranians, and at the end of the day, 317 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,720 in order to get that straight open, what the last 318 00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:07,319 few weeks have given us during this time is not 319 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,079 only the ability to kind of give a little bit 320 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,680 of crewe rest, get some training in, make sure that 321 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,559 we can do the maintenance, rearm and refuel. It has 322 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,759 also given us the opportunity to build out the target 323 00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:22,119 set that is available to us the Israelis, UAE and 324 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,680 the Saudi's so that if combat operations recommence, it is 325 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,039 going to be on a much larger scale. It is 326 00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:30,000 going to hit them that much harder. And while the 327 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,079 blockade is being effective, the calculus of the strategic deterrence 328 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,000 that's going to be enforced to ensure that we bring 329 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:40,039 the Iranian economy to its need. We have to start 330 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,880 hitting some of those key logistics transportation nodes as well 331 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,680 as their ability to get oil out because they cannot 332 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,440 be refunded by getting the oil to the world, especially China. 333 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,880 We're sending a signal in their direction as well. 334 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,759 Speaker 1: All right, So Commander, we're talking about the various things 335 00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:03,920 to strike. Keene says they've been using the six weeks 336 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,839 of cease fire to really study more about where the 337 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:12,400 targets are. But also today we sent the navy out 338 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,720 I believe it, maybe it was the Marines, but they 339 00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:19,160 went and boarded an Iranian flagged oil tanker who was 340 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,400 trying to run through the through the blockade, and we 341 00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,640 took over the ship. They landed on it with the 342 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,559 rope ropes off of a helicopter. 343 00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:33,039 Speaker 10: Well, we usually don't board a vehicle unless they don't 344 00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:36,359 abide by our instructors. If they continue to move in 345 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,759 a direction they want to move as opposed to halt 346 00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:41,880 or move to an area where we're where we're sequestering 347 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,160 the ships. Then we bought it and usually it's going 348 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,720 to be uncontested. We accelling our troops who are doing 349 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,799 it in our arm. We don't expect to be in 350 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,480 contact with the people on those ships. There's no Iranian 351 00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:58,240 gunman on the ship, but we have to as an 352 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,319 all military situation, we've got to be prepared for the unexpected. 353 00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:04,000 And what we did there is just take charge of 354 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,359 that ship and direct them to where we wanted to 355 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,359 go as opposed to where they want to go. And 356 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,440 this is the enforcement of the blockade, which has been 357 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:15,480 enormously successful, as we've been reporting on now for some weeks, and. 358 00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: The General sounds more convinced than ever that the targets 359 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,799 that they have now have with a lot more intel 360 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,160 over the last six weeks, that they're going to be 361 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,559 doing a lot of hitting new places and destroying things 362 00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:34,920 in Iran, hopefully to bring down the regime. I don't 363 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,319 know if you can take down a regime from the air, 364 00:22:38,279 --> 00:22:40,599 but it will certainly weaken them even more. 365 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 10: Back to the General, well, I think what the Iranians 366 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,519 are attempting to achieve here, I mean we're six weeks 367 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,599 into a ceasefire that the original deadline was two weeks, 368 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,680 and I think what the Iranians are trying to achieve 369 00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:58,519 here is drag these negotiations out as long as they 370 00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:02,640 possibly can, believing that there will be more political economic 371 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,440 pressure put on the president, not so much to make 372 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,599 a deal that he doesn't want to make, but to 373 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,920 get fed up with this thing and end it where 374 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,599 it is right now. That's kind of what the Iranians 375 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,920 are doing here, and I think what he's trying to 376 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,000 respond to them. Look at I don't feel any pressure. 377 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:27,440 I'm not being persuaded by anybody's concerned about political economic pressure. 378 00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:29,920 I'll take as long as it takes here to make 379 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,680 a right deal. I do think we're reaching a point 380 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,359 whether we really can get a deal or not. I mean, 381 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,640 six weeks. We've had plenty of opportunity even before that 382 00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:42,880 to talk to these most of these same people, and 383 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,039 a deal has been quite elusive. In my judgment, I 384 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,720 don't think they're ever going to put a deal on 385 00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:52,119 the table that would be acceptable to our president because 386 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,559 he's not going to take a bad deal. And I think, 387 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,200 in my judgment, is time to return to full out 388 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,240 combat operations. Listen, we've been gathering information on the Runians 389 00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:06,079 for six weeks, and we have increased our capability in 390 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,160 the region militarily. The Israelis are a full suite of 391 00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:15,119 munitions and weapons systems, and we are ready to go 392 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,880 with much better information on targeting. The effects on the 393 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,519 Runnings are going to be quite devastating. And all the 394 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:25,480 handwringers out there who are worried about the Runnians firing 395 00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:29,359 that golf oil and disrupting it continue to disrupt the 396 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,279 straits of the moves don't understand what the impact of 397 00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:36,880 that military operation will have on their capabilities. I'm not 398 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,559 suggesting it wouldn't be challenges. I'm not suggesting it wouldn't 399 00:24:39,559 --> 00:24:42,319 be the unexpected. That's what war is always about, and 400 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,079 how do you deal with the unexpected? And how do 401 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,119 you have the will to proceed and get to your 402 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,680 final objective. I think the objective from the beginning has 403 00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:55,319 always made sense. Weaken this regime, take away all of 404 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,519 their offensive capability, and no longer predator in the region. 405 00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:01,319 They don't have a ballistic missile program of any consequence, 406 00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:04,799 nor that they have a nuclear capability. They're not supporting 407 00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:09,480 their proxies in the regime. When we're finished, in such 408 00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:14,359 a weakened state economically and militarily that they're vulnerable to 409 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,599 the Iranian people in terms of their resistance, And the 410 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,160 last gesture I would make to the people running the 411 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,519 regime is I'd offer them a free ticket out of there. 412 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,079 Any place they want to go, We'll take them and 413 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,039 see if they take us up on that deal. If not, 414 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,680 they want to stay there and face the Iranian people 415 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,799 and the economic collapse that will be pending, that's certainly 416 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:37,000 their choice. But we hold all the curds here and 417 00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:38,200 that's the reality of it. 418 00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: Well, he sounds pretty convinced to me, but the history 419 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,079 is again, you don't take a regime down with just airpower. 420 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,799 You got to put boots on the ground, go in. 421 00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:50,400 We did that in Germany, we did it in Japan. 422 00:25:50,839 --> 00:25:55,119 We had to go in and physically take arrest the 423 00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:59,559 leaders of those governments, those enemy governments. And so we'll 424 00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:02,759 see how the turns out. But Jack Keene is chomping 425 00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:09,400 at the bit to get going in politics. Remember Barney Frank, 426 00:26:09,519 --> 00:26:15,640 Congressman Barney Frank, he represented big swarthswathe of Boston and 427 00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:22,680 very very smart guy. But he was a big lefty, 428 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:24,480 big liberal. I don't even know if you could call 429 00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:26,680 him the liberal compared to the far left of the 430 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,519 Democrat Party today. He wasn't there. He was a lefty, 431 00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:33,480 no question about it. But he was a very bright man. 432 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,240 And he was the first one to come out that 433 00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:41,200 as a gay man voluntarily. Some had been busted, but 434 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,720 he was the first one to admit that he was gay. 435 00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:47,960 And he was the first member of Congress to marry 436 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,079 same sex marriage. Well, he died today at the age 437 00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:56,160 of eighty six, and a lot of people are doing 438 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,799 the remembrance of the fact that he was the leader 439 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,440 in the first gay man and on to marry in Congress. 440 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,480 I look at him from the financial standpoint. He was 441 00:27:08,599 --> 00:27:14,480 the head of the House Financial Services Committee. He and 442 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,960 Chris Dodd, who was a Senator from Connecticut who was 443 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,279 the head of the Senate Finance Committee. They were both 444 00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:24,640 they both had control Democrats that control of the House 445 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,240 and the Senate. They put their heads together and this 446 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,880 was back with one of the financial problems in our country, 447 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,799 and they came up with something called the the Dodd 448 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,119 Frank Bill. I get that backwards every time. The Dodd 449 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:45,160 Frank Bill. It was a massive change on regulations in 450 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,960 our banking system in this country. It was so massive 451 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,000 the big banks had to go through a lot of 452 00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:56,960 extra expense because of the regulatory requirements, the lawyers and 453 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,039 the accountants that they had to hire in order to 454 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:04,240 meet the new regulations. Problem that they could afford it. 455 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,079 It cost them a lot of money, but it was heavy. 456 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,920 As good Democrats do, they want to regulate everything to 457 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,000 the nth degree. The problem was it literally put out 458 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,759 of business a lot of community banks because they couldn't 459 00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:24,039 afford all of the compliance costs that it would take 460 00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:29,039 to meet the Dodd Frank Bill. So many years later, 461 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,200 after Barney Frank was out of Congress, Congress changed and 462 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,119 relaxed a lot of those regulatory environments because it was 463 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,079 killing the small banks. And as a result of Dodd Frank, 464 00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:47,559 the big banks got even bigger. So it was a 465 00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,119 big change, and that's what I remember Barney Frank about 466 00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:55,519 so very much. Meantime, speaking about banks and the economy, 467 00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:03,240 I've often said that I am much closer watcher of 468 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:06,599 the bond market than I am the stock market. Stock 469 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,960 market is easy to follow. The bond market takes a 470 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,279 little bit more work, but not much. And what's happened 471 00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:16,160 in the last couple of days is the bond market 472 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,920 has been going down, and that drives interest rates up. 473 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,160 It's the reciprocal. If the bond prices go down, the 474 00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:26,640 interest rates go up, and bonds have been falling and 475 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,680 falling and falling to the point where the thirty year 476 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,759 treasury bond hit five point one seven percent, which is 477 00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:42,519 the highest interest rate in nineteen years. So that's the 478 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,559 thirty year and the ten year up to four point 479 00:29:47,599 --> 00:29:51,839 six six. Well as the market went today, the market 480 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,240 was not doing well, and the bond market turned around 481 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,160 and said, all right, that's enough, we don't need to 482 00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:00,680 drop bonds anymore. And people started buying bonds at these 483 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:05,319 higher interest rates, and that drove bond prices up and 484 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,000 interest rates fell a little bit. The thirty year treasury 485 00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:11,240 to they went from five point one seven dropped down 486 00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:15,880 to five point one one that's still extremely high. And 487 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,359 the tenure treasury went from four point six to six 488 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,000 down to four point five to seven. The tenure is 489 00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:26,240 critical because that is what mortgage bankers use to price 490 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,880 their mortgages. No, it's not one for one. I mean 491 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,400 that they used that as their base. They also have 492 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,799 to put in market fluctuations and also a little profit 493 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:42,319 for them, but the tenure is what's used to price mortgages. 494 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,119 So they're high. Mortgage prices are going to be higher 495 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,960 because of it. So it was the kind of reaction 496 00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:56,559 that well, John Lonsky, who's an economist was up until 497 00:30:56,599 --> 00:31:00,680 recently the chief economist at Moody's out today and was 498 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,200 asked about, what do you think of these bond markets? 499 00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 4: The economy doesn't like this. 500 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 6: Economic growth does not like to have this current high 501 00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:12,119 level of benchmark treasury yields. I mean, after all, your 502 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,960 private sector loans and bonds are priced off of treasuries. However, 503 00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:21,119 I would not get especially concerned until that ten year 504 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:28,720 treasury yield rises above five percent. That would really puts night, 505 00:31:28,839 --> 00:31:30,799 you know. And I can't help but say this, but 506 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,039 I have something I call the frightful fives, and that 507 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,319 is the ten year treasure yield above five percent and 508 00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:41,759 the average retail price of gasoline rising from its current 509 00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:45,200 four dollars and sixty five cents per gallon to something 510 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,200 in excess of five dollars per gallon. At that point, 511 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,319 I think we have a strong reason to worry about 512 00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:54,559 the outlook for the US economy. Well, he mentioned gas prices, 513 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,680 So let's go over there. At triple A today, the 514 00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:01,519 average gas price for the nation to cheap stuff. Four 515 00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:06,440 dollars and fifty six cents. That is, as far as 516 00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:09,000 I can see, that's a new record high. That's up 517 00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:10,720 three cents from yesterday. 518 00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:17,519 Speaker 1: It's up seven cents from a week ago. It's up 519 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,440 fifty cents from a month a month ago, so gas 520 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,440 price is going back up. Let's take a look at 521 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:30,799 the Let me pull up the diesel five dollars sixty 522 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,680 five cents. That is unchanged over the last week over 523 00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:39,400 and same as yesterday. So diesel a little topping out 524 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,640 here at this particular price. You look around the country 525 00:32:43,319 --> 00:32:48,720 and the winner is still California. Six dollars and fifteen 526 00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:54,039 cents for a gallon of gas in California. And the 527 00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:59,920 markets stock market today it was up dramatically on the 528 00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:02,920 on the fact that the bond prices went up and 529 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,480 interest rates went down. The market turned around on that 530 00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:09,880 news and had a big rally, up six hundred and 531 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,680 forty five points back above fifty thousand to now at 532 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,279 fifty thousand and nine. The S and P up seventy nine, 533 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,480 the Nazdack up three hundred and ninety nine.
