1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,199 Speaker 1: I want to be clear that the Nancy Guthrie case 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: and the facts around it are changing minute by minute, 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: and as I'm recording this for you, I'm going to 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: give you the latest that we know now. By the 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: time you hear this, things could change. But what we 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: do know is there's two big things that have happened, 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: actually three. One, they were able to, by the grace 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: of God in technology, to get the video off of 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: a ness camera and then put it out to the 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: world of the individual that they believe clearly is the 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: one who abducted Nancy Guthrie. That was massive the FBI 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: and the leadership of the Trump administration and having all 13 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: of the assets needed to get this out there has 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: now shown it to the entire world. That is one 15 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: big part of the story. The second part of the 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: story is a person of interest has been detained for 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: questioning in the Nancy Guthrie case. It is because of 18 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: that video that was then put out to the world. 19 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: And then there's a third part of what we have 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: now learned. There is a new transaction that has been 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: reported in the crypto wallet tied to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance 22 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: and that ransom note, the new activity has been recorded 23 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: in that cryptocurrency wallet tied to the disappearance and alleged 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: abduction of Nancy Guthrie. 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: Local News is reporting right. 26 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: Now Arizona's family report it can confirm at least one 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: transaction was made around five pm local time on Tuesday 28 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: to the bitcoin address that was detailed in the ransom 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: note that was sent to kold and other outlets including TMZ. 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: The amount of money is not being disclosed at this time. 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: Tuesday's activity comes just hours after investigators released a new 32 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: surveillance video for Today host Savannah Guthrie's missing mother as 33 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: a surge which has entered its second week. On Tuesday, 34 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: law enforcement released that video, as well as still images 35 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: of an armed man captured on a nest camera outside 36 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: the eighty four year old's home in the Foothills. Not 37 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: to be clear, we're also being told from Cash Pattel, 38 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: who spoke to Fox News Channel that the FBI has 39 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: quote multiple persons of interest that they are talking to 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: and looking into right now. Now back to the video. 41 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: The video shows a mass person at Guthrie's door, wearing 42 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: a jacket, gloves, pants, and carrying a backpack. The FPI 43 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: confirmed that they believe the person in the video is 44 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: a man and identified him as a suspect in her disappearance. 45 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: The video shared by the FBI director Patel, shows the 46 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: man cupping the camera before walking to the front yard. 47 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: He then returns the front door, holding a small flashlight 48 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: in his mouth and attempting to cover the doorbell camera 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: with what appears to be a plant or flowers. Investigators 50 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: say the man was armed. The videos appear to show 51 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: a holstered gun on his waistband. Shortly after the photos 52 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: and videos were released, Savannah Guthrie shared the photos on 53 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: her Instagram, asking anyone with information to call law enforcement, 54 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: saying quote, we believe she is still alive, bring her home. 55 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: Savannah's mother, Nancy, was last seen on January the thirty first, 56 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: after being dropped off at her Tucson area home, and 57 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: was reported missing the next day. After missing, church authorities 58 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: said they believe she was taken obviously against her will, 59 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: and now the FBI is asking for anyone's help that 60 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: may have tips to call the number one a hundred 61 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: call FBI. 62 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: That's one a hundred call FBI. 63 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: They're also asking if you want to send in tips, 64 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: to send them to tips dot FBI dot gov. Again, 65 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: you can go to tips dot FBI dot gov, which 66 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: brings us to the next part of the story about 67 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: the cryptocurrency going in to the account. Tmz founder said 68 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: this on CNN about the new activity in the bitcoin account. 69 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: So obviously that it's legitimate and it's from the Tucson 70 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: area that person is, which I know, Harvey, is something 71 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: you had been saying based on your own receiving of 72 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: the note and how it read and what you had seen. 73 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 3: So this corroborates that. Now the ransom note that you 74 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: received had that bitcoin address for a ransom payment. We're 75 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: now twenty four hours and twenty five minutes past the 76 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 3: deadline for that payment, and I know you have still 77 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 3: been checking for any payments. 78 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 4: What are you seeing? 79 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 5: So about twelve minutes ago, we saw activity in. 80 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: That account, activity like what That's what I can't talk about. 81 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 5: There are reasons I can't, but all I can say 82 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 5: is there is now activity in that bitcoin account. 83 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: Okay, now, let me just ask one more question and 84 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: you'll share with me what you can. But when you 85 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 3: say activity, is that that you can see money as 86 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: going into the account or are you able to tell 87 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: whether it's money going in or going out. 88 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 5: Well, it would only show as I understand this money 89 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 5: going in and the only thing you would see is 90 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 5: money and Aaron. That's all I can say. 91 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, So obviously that's crucial information. So you're 92 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 3: saying about twelve minutes ago, so you see you actually 93 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 3: saw money go into that bitcoin account. And just to 94 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: be clear, this is the bitcoin account in the first 95 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: letter where the individual had said you're not going to 96 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 3: hear from me again, and this is where to wire 97 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: what the second letter made clear after last night would 98 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 3: have been six million dollars. 99 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, yesterday I said to you that I didn't know 100 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 5: whether that second letter may have contained a different bitcoin address. 101 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 5: I don't think it did now because I can tell 102 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 5: you that the link we have from the first letter 103 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 5: is what we've been checking. And again all I can 104 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 5: say is as of a few minutes ago, for the 105 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 5: first time we saw activity. 106 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: Now, Harvey, can I ask you one other thing? And 107 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: I know you're not. You can't tell me how much 108 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: money and you can't you can't say that, But does 109 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: when does it allow you to see any kind of 110 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: notification as to anything about for example, when you venmo somebody, 111 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: and you can sometimes see things publicly about who's venmoing 112 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: or what it's about. Is there anything that would be 113 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: identifying about it, even if you can't understand what the 114 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: identifying is or is it simply a balance? 115 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was worried coming on because of your persistence. 116 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 5: I am in a tough spot right now, and maybe 117 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 5: later we can talk about why. But I can only 118 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 5: tell you that we have seen activity in the account. 119 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 3: Okay, now, Harvey, from your understanding, from your law enforcements. 120 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: Now, since that interview was done, we also have new 121 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: reporting that is breaking as we speak. Reports are now 122 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: indicating that a quote small transaction, so not millions of 123 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: dollars was made far below the ransom demand, but authorities 124 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: have not publicly disclosed details or confirmed whether any payment 125 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: was made by the family. That coming now from People magazine. 126 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: Now the FBI. Not only do they release the new 127 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: video and images of a mask an armed person seen 128 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: on property shortly before Nancy was last seen, but analysts 129 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: are still urging the public to help identify the individual 130 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: any way they can. Now after Nancy's disappearance, there have 131 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: been multiple ransom notes that have surface, including one that 132 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: demanded four million in bitcoin later that was raised to 133 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: six million. Deadlines for the bitcoin payments have passed without 134 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: confirmed payment or proof of life from any purported captors. 135 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: Authorities believe the case is a criminal abduction, and the 136 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: Trump administration made it clear that all federal resources would 137 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: be used. That means there has been an extensive search 138 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: efforts that have continued, with the FBI and local law 139 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: enforcement working together. Now, where Nancy Guthrie is currently located 140 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: remains obviously unknown, and there has been no verified proof 141 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: of life since she was taken. It is also unclear 142 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: if the recent bitcoin wallet activity is directly linked to 143 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: our alleged kidnappers, or if it provides actionable investigative leads. 144 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: We're also being told that the detained individual has not 145 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: been publicly identified or charged, and investigators are continuing search 146 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: warrants as well as analysis. This also coming after the 147 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: FBI director has also come out saying there are multiple 148 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: persons of interest, not just one individual. This obviously is 149 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: a very important moment in time, certainly important, especially knowing 150 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: we're moved into week two and with no one putting 151 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: out anything from the captives showing proof of life. 152 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: There are major concerns. 153 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: Time is obviously of the essence, and it's clear that 154 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: the President of United States of America is giving everything 155 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: he can when it comes to resources to those locally 156 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: that need it to do everything they can to bring 157 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie home. President Donald Trump doing another sit down interview, 158 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: talking about a wide range of issues, and we're going 159 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: to get into many of those, but one of the 160 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: ones that was very important to the President was dealing 161 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: with Iran, saying that Iran would be foolish not to 162 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: make a nuclear missile deal. He also talked about sending 163 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: a second aircraft carrier to the region, Trump borning Iran, 164 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: don't be foolish and get a deal done now. The 165 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: comments landed hours after Axios reported that Trump is considering 166 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East. 167 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: If negotiations collapse, either we will make a deal or 168 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: we will not have a deal, and we'll have to 169 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: do something very tough like last time. Trump told Axos, 170 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: adding we have an armada that is heading there, and 171 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: another one might be going. A US official also confirmed 172 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: discussions about deploying another strike group, Axos reported. In addition 173 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: to the USS Abraham Lincoln in its strike group, and 174 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: this is clearly a build up that Trump is framed 175 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: us both leverage and the alternative to diplomacy in that context. 176 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: Last time is a direct reference to the Operation Midnight Hammer, 177 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: the US strikes on Iran's nuclear sykes roughly six months ago, 178 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: the cap the twelve day Israel Iran War, a precedent 179 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: Trump is explicitly holding up as the consequences of Iranian defiance, 180 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: that threat of escalation is colliding with Tehran's declared red lines. 181 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: Irana's publicly insisted negotiations being limited strictly to nuclear enrichment levels, 182 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: not enrichment itself, and has rejected any discussion of missiles 183 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: or regional proxy forces that would be them supporting Hesblahamas 184 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: and other terrorist organizations. And that's where the fueling of 185 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: the skepticism in Washington as well as in Israel in 186 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: Jerusalem that a comprehensive deal is well maybe not even 187 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: realistic with Iran. The Israeli Prime Minister net Yahoo is 188 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: also set to meet with President Trump today at the 189 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: White House, with Iram being the first and foremost issue 190 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: on the agenda. Netnyahu said he has departed for Washington, 191 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: adding he will represent the essential principles he argues are 192 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: vital not only for Israel, but to everyone around the 193 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: world who wants peace and security in the Middle East. Now, 194 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: this also comes as US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Kakabi, 195 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: speaking before boarding a flight to Washington, Netnyahu, said there 196 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: is quote extraordinary alignment between Israel and the United States 197 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: on Iran, while stressing the outcome ultimately depends on Tehran's choices. 198 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: On the Iranian side, officials moved quickly to reinforce their position. 199 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: The Iranian Foreign minister said Tuesday that Israel is attempting 200 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: to sabotage diplomacy and warned US officials not to allow 201 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: outside actors a shape American foreign policy, while also criticizing 202 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: new sanctions announced after the Oman meetings took place. Now, 203 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: this isn't all that the President dealt with today. In 204 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: the interview, he also talked about the border and how 205 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: important it is that we have a secure Here's what 206 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: President Trump had to say on Fox Business with Larry Kudloup. 207 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 6: We have the strongest border in the history of our country. 208 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 6: We have democrat people giving us the statistics that no 209 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 6: people have come into our country illegally in the last 210 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 6: eight months. Even I can't believe that totally, but I'll 211 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 6: take it. But essentially, no people have come in. Nobody's 212 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 6: coming through a border. They only come in legally. We've 213 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 6: done an unbelievable job. I don't think we've given any credit. 214 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 6: One of the problems that I find in politics. So 215 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 6: I got elected to a large extent on the border. 216 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 6: I've done such a good job in the border that 217 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 6: nobody wants to talk about it anymore. Like when I 218 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 6: mentioned border, sir, they don't want to hear about it. 219 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 6: You solve that problem. I don't get any credit for anything. 220 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 6: I mean, I do these things. You would say, I've 221 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 6: done a great job at the border. Right, nobody coming in. 222 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 6: We have a strong border. Drugs are way down, you know, 223 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 6: by knocking out those votes, we have dropped drugs spent 224 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 6: about thirty three And now we're going to start on land. 225 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 6: We had to do the boats first because they would 226 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 6: go immediately to the boats. If you hit them on land, 227 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 6: they go to the boat. So we do the boats first. 228 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 6: Now there are no boats. Now we're going to hit 229 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 6: them on the land. We're going to hit them very hard. 230 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 4: On land. 231 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 6: We've knocked down drugs. Every one of those boats. It's nasty, 232 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 6: but every one of those boats that shut down in 233 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 6: the seas you've been watching it. We saved twenty five 234 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 6: thousand American lives. So we've done a great job. The 235 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 6: problem is that I'm not sure that people see it. 236 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 6: Maybe we have a public relations problem because. 237 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 4: I don't know that we get it out the way chick. 238 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 6: Because I don't think anybody has had a more successful 239 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 6: first year as a president than I have with all 240 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,479 Speaker 6: of the things we did. And then in the previous administration, 241 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 6: my previous my first term, I rebuilt the military and 242 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 6: that's why we had venezuela tremendous success. As you know, 243 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 6: we have a massive flotilla right now going over to 244 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 6: a we'll see what happens. 245 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 4: I think they want to make a deal. I think 246 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: they'd be foolish if they didn't. 247 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 6: We took out their nuclear power last time, and we'll 248 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 6: have to see we take out more this time. 249 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 7: Do you think a deal with you? 250 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: Iran? Now? 251 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: The President also talked about the issue with sanctuary cities 252 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: as well, and here's where you had to say about 253 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: the criminals that are being protected by so many liberals. 254 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 7: It just seems to me, in general, we're large. If 255 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 7: you abide by the immigration laws, stop all this sanctuary 256 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 7: city business, that's the most affordable thing possible you save. 257 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 7: I mean, I look at what's happened in New York. Okay, 258 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 7: what Mayor Adams had to spend. He's spent a fortune 259 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 7: on ten twelve billion dollars, maybe fifteen billion dollars because 260 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 7: he was giving money away to illegals, many of whom 261 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 7: are criminal illegals. I mean, it seems to me if 262 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 7: those laws are upheld, if sanctuary cities, for example, are 263 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 7: defunded some as you have talked about. Lindsay Graham has 264 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 7: talked about, that's an affordability issue. There are huge savings 265 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 7: there and you can go after the waste fraud in them. 266 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 6: So Linds is really hot on getting rid of sanctuary cities. 267 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 4: I'm backing them one hundred percent. We got to do it. 268 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 6: We're hot, and it's sort of the Security Act you 269 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 6: could call it, but we have to do it. You know, 270 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 6: sanctuary cities are only good for people. It's sanctuary for criminals. Okay, 271 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 6: they are protecting criminals. Those states could hand those people 272 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 6: over to us. They crime would go down. We'd get 273 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 6: them out of the country. They can't do what we 274 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 6: could do. We can get them out of the country. 275 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 6: They can't do it. But there's sanctuaries for criminals. They 276 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 6: have the word, they have killers, they have drug lords, 277 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 6: they have trend de Iragua all over the place. 278 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: Now. 279 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: President Trump was also asked about the Minnesota fraud scandal, 280 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say about that. 281 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 7: So you're going to still go after the whole waste fraud, Well, yeah, 282 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 7: in Minnesota. 283 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 6: Take a look at Minnesota. So we think it's at 284 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 6: least ninety keen billion dollars of fraud, medical, every fraud. 285 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 4: Somalia has come in here. 286 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 6: What they've done to our country, these people they've come 287 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 6: into our country, and what they've done with that fake congresswoman, 288 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 6: she's so bad. 289 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 4: No, we're going to get to the bottom of it. 290 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 6: We have the best, We have the best people in 291 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 6: the maybe in the whole country looking at that. We're 292 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 6: looking at California too, because California is worse. 293 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 4: But you know, if we. 294 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 6: Find fifty percent, you know, look, they've been robbing and 295 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 6: ripping off this country for many years, for decades, right, 296 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 6: if we find fifty percent of what's happened, we have 297 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 6: a balanced budget without cutting anybody. We have a balanced budget, 298 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 6: and we'll find that Minnesota's very corrupt, California is very corrupt, 299 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 6: a lot of states are very corrupt. 300 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: You think about the tax issue there, he says, we 301 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: have a balanced budget if we can just cut out 302 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: half of the corruption. That's how much is out there 303 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: that is being wasted of your tax dollars as we speak. 304 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: The President also had this to say about the future 305 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: in this country for Americans when it comes to home 306 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: ownership and interest rates. And also he was asked about 307 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: the FED chair pick. 308 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: Take a listen. 309 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 7: Do you know you wanted Kevin Warsh? So officially it 310 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 7: was two Fridays ago, but when did well, I made 311 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 7: a mistake. 312 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 4: He was runner up if you want. 313 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 6: To see was a finalist, Yeah, he was, And I 314 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 6: made a mistake because I had somebody that was my 315 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 6: Secretary of the Treasury wanted him so badly, so badly, 316 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 6: and you know, I didn't feel. 317 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 4: Good about him. 318 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 6: But sometimes you listen to people, and it was a mistake. 319 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 6: It was really a big mistake. But I think we're 320 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 6: going to do something that's really spectacular. And then Biden 321 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 6: renewed him, which was shocking to me. That was bad 322 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 6: because Biden renewed him. I said, oh boy, this is lousy, 323 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 6: because if I win, I'm going to inherit this guy for. 324 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 4: A period of time. 325 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 7: Can I just raise one point. 326 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 6: All he has to do is lower interest rates. Interest 327 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 6: rates should be lower. You know, every point is six 328 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 6: hundred billion dollars. Think of that, six hundred billion dollars. 329 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 6: All he has to do. If we went down two points, 330 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 6: we don't have a deficit anymore. 331 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 4: And that's without cutting. 332 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 6: And it's just a paper charge when you think about it, 333 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 6: it's a paper charge. 334 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 4: We should be the lowest interest rate in the world. 335 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 6: The reason I bring up the Switzerland because we should 336 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 6: be lower than We should be lower than everybody. 337 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 4: You know, Switzerland's like just about the lowest. 338 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 6: If I charge them tariffs, they would not be doing 339 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 6: very well. 340 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 4: They would not be doing very well. 341 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 6: I treated them very nicely, actually, but they would and 342 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 6: many other countries would not be doing very well. 343 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 4: So I'm being very judicious to. 344 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,959 Speaker 6: Put it mildly, but this country should have the lowest 345 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 6: interest rates in the world. 346 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 4: We keep the world going. 347 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 6: We allowed you know how many definite When I got here, 348 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 6: almost every single country in the world that we did 349 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 6: business with made money off of us. We didn't make money. 350 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 6: We had deficits with everybody. And I call that a loss. 351 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 6: You know, a lot of people say, oh, it doesn't matter, 352 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 6: it doesn't matter a. 353 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 4: Lot to me. I call it a loss. 354 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 6: So we are losing money with every single country in 355 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 6: the world, just about. 356 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 4: There were a couple. I don't know what happened. Maybe 357 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 4: we got lucky, but we had the. 358 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 6: Worst negotiators, and we had presidents that were allows e 359 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 6: business people. And you know, I liked Ronald Reagan, but 360 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 6: Ronald Reagan was bad on trade. Everybody has problems. He 361 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 6: was not good on trade. He allowed Japan to come 362 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 6: in and Germany to come in. 363 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 4: But we both like him. 364 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 6: And he was a good president, but he wasn't. 365 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 4: Good on trade. 366 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 7: To cut my teeth with him, but Bob Leitthheiser would 367 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 7: disagree with you. I don't want to spend too much 368 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 7: time to us. Reagan was tougher than you think on 369 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 7: you only. 370 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 6: On trade, I think, well, he had the big, big 371 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 6: shootout with Japan and he folded and they came in and. 372 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 4: Took our car market. 373 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 7: Can I go back. 374 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 4: I'm a fan of. 375 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 6: His and I thought he was just sort of had 376 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 6: a great presence. But on trade, if you look at 377 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 6: every president we have over the last fifty years, was 378 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 6: bad on trade, every single one. 379 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 7: Well they didn't understand. 380 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 4: But I'm not bad on trade. I'm real good on trade. 381 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: You're arguing the President talking there not only about trade, 382 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: but also saying the US should have the lowest interest 383 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: rates in the world. Interest rates should be lower, and 384 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: that means more Americans can afford to buy homes and 385 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: other things. This is the Trump doctrine on full display. 386 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: And he's also doing interviews with whoever wants to talk 387 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: to him. Another example of the President being so open 388 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: about what he wants for this country. I tell you what, 389 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: if you watched the Super Bowl, it was kind of boring, 390 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: it was lame. The halftime thing we've already covered. But 391 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: there is a bigger story that's coming out of the 392 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: Super That is I think one of those perfect, massive 393 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: moments of warning that if you don't pay attention to 394 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 1: what's happening where you live and who's running your city, 395 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna end up getting exactly what has happened in 396 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: New York City with Mundani, and they have like no 397 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: trash pick up right now, and ice that's all over 398 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: the place, and snow that's built up and it's turning 399 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: into a disaster. You also have a mayor that after 400 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: a robber hurts someone else, he defended the robber and said, 401 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: that's the person needs help, not the person that was 402 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: injured in the attack by the robber. That's that's who 403 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: is in charge in New York City. You look at 404 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: California and you see just the mismanagement with the wildfires 405 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: out there is a great example. The mismanagement with the drugs, 406 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: the mismanagement with a crime, the mismanagement with with you know, 407 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: they have the safe needle places and it turns into 408 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: a crack city. And we've seen San Francisco. We've seen 409 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: what has happened to San Francisco. It is no longer 410 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: a safe city. It is a disaster. Companies are closing, malls, 411 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: are closing, shops are closing, crime totally out of control. 412 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: They get to host the super Bowl, and what do 413 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: you get for being at the super Bowl? You get 414 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: a tax bill that's more than what you actually made. 415 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you this incredible story that's come 416 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: out from the New York Post and it's really gone viral. 417 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: Sam Donald's insane California tax bill stunningly exceeds his Super 418 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: Bowl winnings is the headline. Sam Donald's big Super Bowl 419 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: win Sunday night actually ended up costing the quarterback money, 420 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: So he lost money playing in the Super Bowl and 421 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: winning it for one reason, because of California's tax laws. Now, 422 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: the Seahawks star will oh are you ready for this? 423 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: More than one hundred and seventy eight thousand that he 424 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: earned for helping live Seattle to a twenty nine to 425 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: thirteen of victory over the Patriots at Levi Stadium in 426 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: Santa Clair, California. According to reports, Darnold's bill to the 427 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: Golden State I'm talking literally California, will be two hundred 428 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: and forty nine thousand dollars. Following Seattle's latest championship. The 429 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: outlet stated that the sizeable check is due to California's 430 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: What they have passed is a quote jock taxes like 431 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: a jock, like a jock. 432 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 2: Like literally, you're an athlete, We're gonna punish you. 433 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 1: It forces pro athletes who don't live in the state 434 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on 435 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: the number of days they work in California. 436 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: The days have been dubbed duty. 437 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: Days, and after the Seahawks touched down in northern California 438 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: on February the first, Donald and the rest of his 439 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: team accumulated not one, not two, not three, not four, 440 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: not five, not six, not seven, but eight days total 441 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: by playing in the Super Bowl, say night, because when 442 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: you land is when they start the clock. So you 443 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: get there for all the festivities, and you get there 444 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: for the week of the Super Bowl, right, they charge 445 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: you for that. The Seahawks are expected to amass even 446 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: more in twenty twenty six due to games they will 447 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: play in the state next season. On top of that, 448 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: the report is saying that those in the league are furious. 449 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: Why Well, you can go back to Donald, who is 450 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: the middle of a three year, one hundred and five 451 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: million dollar contract with the Seattle Seahawks. He will ultimately 452 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: lose some seventy one thousand dollars for lifting his first 453 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: ever Lombardi Trophy. 454 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 2: Now this is insane. 455 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: I want you to hear what the sports talk stations 456 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: were saying about this. 457 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 2: This is a guy named Boomer. 458 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: He has a show on CBS Sports Network, and this 459 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: is how he explained the economics to the sports community today. 460 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 8: For winning the Super Bowl, the winning team, each player 461 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 8: gets one hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars. In other words, 462 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 8: the Super Bowl isn't a part of their salary. And 463 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 8: because the game was played in California. In California has 464 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 8: a jock tax, and they look at duty days. So 465 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 8: each team spends seven days in the state of California, 466 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 8: so those are seven duty days, and they pierce your 467 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 8: regular salary at three point five percent, so he has 468 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 8: to pay. When you take an account, he got the 469 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 8: one hundred and seventy eight thousand plus his overall salary, 470 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 8: he has to pay the state of California for spending 471 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 8: seven days there two hundred and forty nine thousand dollars. 472 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 4: That's just so stupid. 473 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 8: Depicently, it ends up costing him seventy one thousand dollars. 474 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 8: The goal play in California. Now, but I'm the NFLPA. 475 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: By the way, let me explain to you what the 476 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: NFLPA is. If you don't know, the NFLPA is a 477 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: National Football League's Players Association. All right, that's what the 478 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: NLPA stands for. And what you're about to hear Boomer 479 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: talk about is if I'm a player, I would do 480 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: everything I possibly could do to never play a game 481 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: in California, and I would mandate that we never have 482 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: a super Bowl there at all, because to go win 483 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: a super Bowl and then have to lose money to 484 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: play in the Super Bowl is total insanity. And again 485 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: it's because in California they have passed the jock tax. 486 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: So you're an athlete and we want to screw you 487 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: to the point where when you play in the Super 488 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: Bowl you actually lose money. 489 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 8: Now, you got to remember it's probably even more than 490 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 8: that because since he's in Seattle, he's playing, he's playing 491 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 8: against San Francisco forty nine ers. That's another day he's there. 492 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 8: And he's playing against the LA Rams, that's another day 493 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 8: he's there. So he's probably had like nine or ten 494 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 8: duty days or maybe even more than that in the 495 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 8: state of California. So if I'm the NFLPA, I'm like, hey, 496 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 8: we're not playing any more super Bowls in you know, 497 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 8: in California, We're not doing it. 498 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 2: We're just not doing it. 499 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: Now, you think about this, if one day, right, you 500 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: may not care as much. Okay, you're like, all right, 501 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: I got two games there, I got to play, and 502 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: so that's one day of your pay in the regular season. 503 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: But when you have a super Bowl, you're there for 504 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: eight days. And when you're there for eight days, this 505 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: is what it costs you. Another one put it out 506 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: there saying it this way. So let me get this straight. 507 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: The quarterback who wins the super Bowl goes to communists 508 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: California and loses money to play in the Super Bow 509 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: while winning it. What's even more crazy is that those 510 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: who lost the game will actually make more money than 511 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: the people that won the game in California. I mean 512 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: that could be true. By the way, Like if you 513 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: lost the game, you didn't get the bonuses, then there's 514 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: less reportable income, which means less of a tax liability, 515 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: which means you may actually come out ahead because your 516 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: bonus is only for the actual game day. 517 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 2: Right. 518 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: The money you make if you win the super Bowl, 519 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: that bonus, right is actually. 520 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: For that one day. 521 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: But they're charging you for eight days of your annual 522 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: salary and they break that up. So in other words, 523 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: what you're making your lump sum is being tax not 524 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: just the bonus of the super Bowl. 525 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: That's why you're losing money. 526 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: If you really want to get into this, if you're 527 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: a player that gets to go to the super Bowl 528 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: and you don't make a lot of money, let's say 529 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: you're special teams, maybe you're in the league minimum, and 530 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: you go to the super Bowl. 531 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 2: It's your dream. 532 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: You could actually like bust a guy up financially over 533 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: the eight days of being in California. And the quarterback 534 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: here is just the perfect example of this. So I 535 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: go back to this other note here because it's really 536 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: interested Okay interesting here. Don't will receive one hundred and 537 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: seventy eight thousand winners bonus, but owes California two hundred 538 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: and forty nine thousand in taxes because he was there 539 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: for eight days. 540 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 2: That means he. 541 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: Will owe more than seventy one thousand dollars for playing 542 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl and winning it. This is what communism, 543 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: by the way, sounds like in real life. This is 544 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: what Marxism and communists and socialists do. They go after 545 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: people that have money first. It will trickle down to 546 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: the people that they say are safe and when you 547 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: do what I mean, I mean to even have enough 548 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: people in the legislature to pass a quote official name 549 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: jock tax, which imposes the highest income rate you can 550 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: on non resident athletes participating in sporting events. If you 551 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: want to destroy and I think part of is California 552 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: is like, we don't care, Like we can get away 553 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: with this because we're California, So we don't care that 554 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of bad press here because we're 555 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: going to make a bunch of money off of them. Again, 556 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: we don't care. I tell you this is coming to 557 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: you soon.
