1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Line from Vall Hartliner and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. As the expression goes, follow the money, right, 3 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: It's always follow the money. And if you do that, 4 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: eventually you're going to figure out what it is that's 5 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: actually going on with well, any situation. Tony Katz, Tony 6 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: Katz today, Good to be here, Good to be with you. 7 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: This is true in what we see in Minneapolis and 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: what we see in a lot of left cities. When 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: you take a look at the rioting, when you take 10 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: a look at the so called protesting, and you're like, 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: where do these people get the money? And you look 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: at the organization, how in the world is this happening? 13 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: Where are they getting this money? And you follow the money, 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: and there's clearly, to every rational person, there's clearly a 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: money trail. They're getting paid. There is a funding here. 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: All this coordination that we've heard about regarding these anti ice, 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: these pro Marxists, communists, anti American protesters, they are what 18 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: they are. Please don't ask me to change the way 19 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: I speak about it. I think we all just need 20 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: to be grown ups and accept the fact that this 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: is what it is. They're anti American it's what they are, 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: whether they're American or not engaged in it. They are 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: trying to usurp the duly elected president. They're trying to 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: usurp his authority. They are trying to prevent the country 25 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: from being safe. That's insurrection me. I think we should 26 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: be going full boor at these people. Protesters are people 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: saying I disagree. Violent agitators are violent agitators. It's easy 28 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: to see the difference. But these people are organized, man. 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean, this whole thing as reported by Cam Higbee, 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: and you've got Schellenberger now talking about this, Michael Schllenberger 31 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: and a host of others, and the connections and the 32 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: ability to track license plates and who's on the inside, 33 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: and elected officials like the Lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan are connected. 34 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: Andy no NNGO is how he supposed his last name, 35 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: and he was able to infiltrate these groups on this 36 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: app signal which is supposed to have private communications, and 37 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: how they're all concerned and worried now because the Right 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: has figured out how they're talking to each other and coordinating. 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: This doesn't happen in a vacuum. Certainly, there are people 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: who are true believers, and when do this stuff because 41 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: they hate American want to do this stuff. But other 42 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: people are paid to do these things, and they're not 43 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: necessarily paid by Okay, here's your paycheck, but rather, hey, 44 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: here's lunch. Hey, here's your sign. Hey, here's this, Hey, 45 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: here's that. Hey, can you do me a favor and 46 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: pass these out and keep a little bit of this 47 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: for yourself here. It's those kinds of things. Maybe on 48 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: a certain organizational level there's payment, but everything else is 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: just kind of like a gimme. It's like, hey, I'll 50 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: give you a pack of cigarettes if you get in 51 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: this van with me and then go vote. Oh yeah, 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: because that never happened in the United States. Never once, never, 53 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: ever did that happen. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, 54 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: no no, don't be silly. Huh. Follow the money, but 55 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: not all of it is so you know, in the ether. 56 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: Some of the money is just really easy to see. 57 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: And it's true on the left and it's true on 58 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: the right. The New York Post had a story going 59 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: back to last year about the Dark Money group paying 60 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: pro Democrat influencers up to eight thousand dollars a month. 61 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: The Chorus creator Incubator program. It was funded by something 62 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: called the sixteen thirty Fund, and it's supposed to be 63 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: an answer to the Coca Network. Right, David Coke, Charles Coke, 64 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: Americans Prosperity, and a whole host of other organizations. I've 65 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: done work with AFP before, I've received checks from AFP before, 66 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: I apologize for nothing. The difference between me and maybe 67 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: everybody else is I'm totally upfront about it. I say everything, 68 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: and people get weirded out by it. I hear you, 69 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: I understand it. Man. The only way I think you 70 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: can have a conversation with people is let them know 71 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: where you're at. Let them know the connections, the connections 72 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: and the connectivity. Sorry, if I could talk, I'd make 73 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: a great radio host. You gotta let them know. You 74 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: gotta be honest and upfront about these things. Oh, I 75 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: absolutely have. I have not done work with AFP and 76 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: well over a year, and if that changes, I'll tell 77 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: you one hundred percent. But the idea that I speak 78 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: at an organization I get paid for the speech. I 79 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: get paid to speak. I know. I sometimes I get 80 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: ask to speak at events and then people are like, amazing, Wait, wait, 81 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna charge us. That's not right. I'm sorry. I 82 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: didn't realize the capitalism somehow stopped with you. It doesn't 83 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: so I if I'm doing work, if I'm speaking, if 84 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm traveling, whatever, absolutely a thousand percent. I charge for 85 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: my time and my skill set and everything else. And 86 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 1: you should too, for your time and your skill set. 87 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: One hundred percent of people don't want to pay it. Okay, 88 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: they don't want to pay it. You can change what 89 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: you charge or that's that. So I don't mind that 90 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: people get paid. The issue is whether or not it 91 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: is being disclosed. So the story talks about someone named 92 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: Olivia Juliana, a gen Z activist. I'm like, okay, I 93 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: have no idea who Olivia Juliana is. I don't think 94 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 1: I've ever seen a picture. I'm looking out, Oh that's 95 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: Olivia Juliana. Olivia Juliana is this heavyset woman who was 96 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: going to be the one who was going to bring 97 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: gen Z men back into the Democratic Party. That was 98 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: never ever going to happen. She spoke of the twenty 99 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: twenty four Democratic National Convention, and then they had a 100 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: couple other people that they mentioned and how they're getting 101 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: paid well, yeah, you're getting paid. No one is surprised 102 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: that these people are getting paid. We just saw that 103 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: there was a trip to Qatar, right or do you 104 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: want to call it cutter whatever, And it got noticed 105 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: that there were a huge amount of MAGA folk on 106 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: this trip, Emily Wilson, Caitlin Sinclair, Rob Smith, and there 107 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: were members of Congress on this trip, including Indiana Congressman 108 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: Marlin Stutsman, who I know is not too far away 109 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: from me here, not my member of Congress, but still 110 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: I had him on the show, like, what in the 111 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: world is this? What is this for? What reason do 112 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: you take the trip to Qatar? If you told me 113 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: that these people were funded, I are getting paid for 114 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: their activism, I wouldn't be surprised, and as long as 115 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: they were disclosing it, I wouldn't even really be upset, 116 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: depending on who was doing the funding. But if you're 117 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: getting funded by cutter, we'll call cutter not guitar. That's 118 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: an issue. Who are you being funded by? Matters greatly. 119 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: Acknowledging that the money is coming matters greatly, and we 120 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't pretend that it doesn't. And we shouldn't pretend that 121 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: on any side of the aisle that everything is just 122 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: oh notcher, all right, it's just I'm out there saying 123 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: that this is what I believe. I'm not saying that 124 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: isn't true. In some cases, I can speak for myself. 125 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: Do I have radio sponsors? Absolutely, I have radio sponsors. 126 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: Do I have video sponsors right for the live streams 127 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: and everything? Absolutely I do. Have I ever received a 128 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: note from any of them about, hey, don't forget to 129 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: say this. Nope, not a one, not never, not ever. 130 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: They are sponsors of what I do because they're aligned 131 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: with what it is. I'm saying. Where my thoughts are, 132 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: where my philosophies are, That I bring about a cogent, 133 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: rational conversation that I'm willing to engage and entertain. Another 134 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: thought that I do not shy away from saying, here's 135 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: a philosophy that I think is better for society writ large. Oh, 136 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: and also that I use expressions like writ large. I 137 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: have never once been told, hey, we want to pay 138 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: We'll only pay you if you talk about this. No wait, 139 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: I take that back. I have never once accepted any 140 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: money where hey, you have to talk about this. I've 141 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: been asked to do things, and I will not get 142 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: into that because I said no, it's or I just 143 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: let the conversation die on the vine, which is usually 144 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: not my style but sometimes is the right way to 145 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: do things. Just you know what, They've asked a bunch 146 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: of people, and I'll just show no interest and they'll 147 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: go on to the other people and that's it. Yeah, 148 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: because it doesn't work, it doesn't connect with me, I'm 149 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: not going to be able to sell that. But I'm 150 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure I'm down with what it 151 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: is that you're trying to sell. It's not that I'm 152 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: angry about it or or have a major opposition. It's 153 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: like I don't see where I fit in this same 154 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: thing as true with sponsors. It's like financial planners. Now, 155 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: I have somebody who is a financial planner, but I 156 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: never say who, and I don't do advertisements for financial planners. 157 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: And the reason I don't is that if I recommend 158 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: a carpet company to you and the carpet doesn't come 159 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: out right, it's a carpet. If I recommend the financial 160 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: planner to you and you lose all your life savings, 161 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: I can't sleep at night and so I won't do it. 162 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: I won't touch it on a personal endorsement. Love. I 163 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: will not endorse a financial planner. No, no, no, no, no, 164 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: because what happens if I start talking about policy and 165 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're like, well, you know it'd 166 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: be better for our business if you talked about this. 167 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: Can't have that. Never mind, I can't let sleep if 168 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: you lose the money. I just won't be a part 169 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: of any of those things. But we all and I'm 170 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: really on the record on this, I'm very clear about this, 171 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: but we know that there are people who are absolutely 172 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: doing it for the money. The problem is it becomes 173 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: a hard thing to just make an accusation of right, 174 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: this is all this is. For example, the Tucker Carlson 175 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: conversation about Cutter and whether or not he's paid. Now, 176 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: Cutter does intense lobbying. Cutter does more lobbying than Israel. 177 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: They do. They do more lobbying than for example, APAK, 178 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: which is not Israel. It's Americans, the American Israel Public 179 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: Affairs Committee. Cutter since twenty fifteen has spent two hundred 180 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: and forty three million dollars two hundred and forty three 181 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: million dollars in lobbying since twenty fifteen APAC fifty million, 182 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: So they're being beat five to one. Is that at 183 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: five times as much? And yet no, it says, oh 184 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: my gosh, Cutter is trying to run our foreign policy. No, 185 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: Cutter's trying to run America's foreign policy. And there's a 186 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: real question about whether or not Tucker Carlson does he 187 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: take money from the nation of Cutter. And I know 188 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: he's been accused of this by people like Mark Levin 189 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: Radio House, Mark Levin and others, and I have no 190 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: way of knowing this. Here's what I know. He's gone 191 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: very anti Israel. He has said that out loud that 192 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: he's going to buy a home in Cutter, and he 193 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: does a whole bunch of forums there. So I have 194 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: no idea if he's taking the money or not. I 195 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: think people will come up to their own minds and 196 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: some things will never actually know. Some things we do know, 197 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: and I don't think we should be surprised by it. 198 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: I think that this is more and more of a 199 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: reason for us, on every single subject, in every single way, 200 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: to be saying, Okay, I've heard what they said. Let 201 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: me take that with a grain of salt, because that 202 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: could have a connection piece to it a bias to 203 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: it that is being funded from X Y or Z group, 204 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: and I think that that's healthy. But then again, I 205 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: think we can apply that everywhere. There's always a little 206 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: bit of healthy skepticism. Guys, even with me, of course 207 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: you should. I do everything I can to bring the 208 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: story proper check, double check and recheck. Damn straight, what 209 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: are you crazy? Don't don't be loons. Check. I swear 210 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: to you. I do everything I can to bring it directly. 211 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: I've gotten things wrong before and all that jazz. You should, 212 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: of course check. But that's about paid influencers. When we 213 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: look at Minneapolis and we look at other cities, that's 214 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: about paid agitators. And we need to find out who's 215 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: paying the agitators, because when we learn that this is 216 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: foreign sourced money, we have to move with rapidness to 217 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: end that capability. We cannot allow foreign money into the country, 218 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: just like I believe we cannot allow the Communist Chinese 219 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: Party to own land in the United States or businesses 220 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: in the United States, no investment in the United States 221 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: at all at all. They are indeed the enemy, and 222 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: they're not allowed investment here. Any foreign nation funding agitators 223 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: must immediately be dealt with with force. You're funding agitators. 224 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: You do not get to do business in the United States. 225 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: We freeze your dollars, We take the dollars, and then 226 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: we put out warrants for your arrest, and if you 227 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: have family members in the US, we throw them in 228 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: jail immediately. No, no, no, no. Non Americans do not 229 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: get the constitution treatment. This is an attack on our society. 230 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: And if a political party wants to pay somebody to 231 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: say something and they don't disclose it, I think that's 232 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: pretty gross. But it's Americans paying Americans. And unless there's 233 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: some specific law about it, what am I going to 234 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: do except say that's ugly. Foreign nations, foreign entities, foreign individuals, 235 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: jail time, warrants for arrest, Absolutely, they're not even a debate. 236 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: And as for the person taking the foreign money, I 237 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: do not know if not disclosing as a violation. But 238 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: since there are so many pieces legislation that exist about 239 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: aid and comfort to the enemies and not working in 240 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: America's best interests, those kinds of things, which I guess 241 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: could be subjective, we should ask ourselves whether or not 242 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: there's legislation that can be used or should be used 243 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: against those people who do not disclose Foreign entities cannot 244 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: be allowed entree into American politics, whether that be on 245 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: the influencer side or whether that be in its organization. Now, 246 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: I may have a tougher time on the influencer side, 247 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: but when it comes to the organization, we can handle 248 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: that immediately, if not sooner, track the dollars and start 249 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: throwing people in jail, Start throwing sanctions against the countries 250 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: that do it, and get very very rough, make them afraid, 251 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: make them police themselves. Don't interfere in American elections. Don't 252 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: think you could sell unrest in the United States. If 253 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: we don't start hitting these people in the mouth, we're 254 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: gonna get destroyed by this. It's gonna be death by 255 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: a thousand cuts. So let's get on it. This is 256 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: Tony Kats Today. So what did Sidney Sweeney do with 257 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: her bra that has everybody all up at arms? I mean, 258 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: it's a it's just a bra, right, Well, I don't know, 259 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: it's Sidney Sweeney. Maybe it's maybe it's special Tony Kats. 260 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: Tony Kats Today. This show is weird. Sometimes good to 261 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: be with you and find everything at Tonykats dot com. 262 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: She is in trouble because she hung a clothesline of 263 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: bras on the Hollywood sign and you're like, why why 264 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: would she do this? What is the point of all this? 265 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: And there she is, it's late at night, and she's 266 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: with people and she's she's got them kind of connected 267 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: to each other and she's hanging them up on the 268 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: Hollywood Sign. But I guess she's starting a coump with 269 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos, like Bezos is backing it. She didn't have 270 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: any approval to touch the sign or climb the sign. 271 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce confirmed that she didn't have 272 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: clearance to go that far. There was no permission granted 273 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: to do this as is required, and she could be 274 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: charged with criminal trespassing and or vandalism. All I know 275 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: is this, if she gets charged, her mugshot will be 276 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: more popular than Donald Trump's all on. Questionably, guys will 277 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: have the Sydney Sweetey mugshot hanging in their homes. Well, 278 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: they may have the Trump mugshot hanging in their home 279 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: in multiple rooms. Guaranteed or your money back. Yeah, I 280 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: mean it's I listen. If you want to get people talking, 281 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: you got them talking, right, we're talking about it, and 282 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: if she gets charged, I mean she's not gonna do 283 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, time or anything like that. Lapd telling Fox 284 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: News Digital there's no investigation, no crime was committed. The 285 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: production involving Sidney Sweeney and the Hollywood Sign is reported 286 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: by TMZ was not authorized by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, 287 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: nor do we have prior knowledge of it. The Hollywood 288 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce owns the intellectual property rights to the 289 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: image of the Hollywood Sign, so that anyone intending to 290 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: use and or access to the Hollywood Sign for commercial 291 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: purposes must obtain a license or permission from the Hollywood 292 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: Chamber to do so. So it's basically a hey, don't 293 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: do this, and don't give a people the idea to 294 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: do this. And now you know, you're gonna have five 295 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: cops of course, stationed around the Hollywood Sign for I 296 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: don't know in the next two weeks. All I know 297 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: is that this this lingerie line is backed by Bezos 298 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: and his wife Laurence Sanchez. So I mean, I guess 299 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: a good business partner unless you're the Washington Post. Oh 300 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: the anger at the Washington Post because there's cuts coming 301 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: maybe to the whole sports desk, maybe to the foreign 302 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: affairs desk, and they're gonna cut that kind of coverage. 303 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: It's the newspaper business, and they're infuriated with Bezos that 304 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: he's not doing enough to support the news org. Maybe 305 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: the news org doesn't do a good job reporting the news. 306 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: Maybe just people get their news in a different way. 307 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: Maybe they get it from videos made at the Hollywood Sign. 308 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe the reporters should just go hang their bras 309 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: and the Hollywood Sign, then tell a quick story and 310 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: they can get the news out that way, get more readership. 311 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: Probably not. I doubt they're under whatever its people is 312 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: happy the suit between us. Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz. 313 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: It's the Tony Katz today. So the question is was 314 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: there a coup in China? And I know what you're saying, Tony, 315 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: what are you referring to? Well, I discussed how you 316 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: had Jijinping the president dictator thug of China. We're leaving 317 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: two milli military general and somebody else within the military right, 318 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: and then it was oh, because they violated this rule 319 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: or that rule. It's the communists. It's all about paranoia 320 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: and if any of g thinks anybody's getting too close 321 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: to him, or people are liking them more, getting too 322 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: close to power, changes get made.

And then there was some reporting 325 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: that maybe this general got involved with a couple other 326 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: people in the Poula Buro and some soldiers and actually 327 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: tried to engage a coup, an overthrowing of Jijiping. Just 328 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: because you say there was a coup doesn't mean there 329 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: was one. These are communists, They lie all the time. 330 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: Major Mike Lyons joins me right now, retired United States 331 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: Army WES appoint graduate military analyst. I think that anytime 332 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: you see China make moves, you have to ask what 333 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: the move is for. And I take a look at 334 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: what the plans are regarding Taiwan. You see how we're 335 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: gauge with Venezuela. You see how we've moved the USS 336 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln out of the South China Sea into the 337 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: med to deal with the Iranians. And they could think 338 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: that it's a good time to take Taiwan. So when 339 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: I see something like this about someone being changed over 340 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: or someone being taken out. It could be for a 341 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: myriad of reasons. But now we're hearing about this idea 342 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: of a potential coup. What can you tell us about 343 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: what happened and why it happened. 344 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: Oh, Tony, this is one of the most significant events 345 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 2: that's happened to China in really the last few decades 346 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 2: and since really Using Ping came to power, and by 347 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 2: consolidating his military the way he's doing it right now, 348 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: he's pringing, you know, a tighter grip on what's going on. 349 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: We really don't know, unlike other countries that are open 350 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: and with regard to what's happening there, you know, we 351 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: just kind of expected China to be this you know, 352 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: undercurrent and not really do anything. But this is a 353 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 2: very very significant move. Now it's not a coup because 354 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 2: it wasn't successful. Usually a coup means that the military 355 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 2: on the side of the person that's throwing or throwing 356 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 2: the power, So I wouldn't go that far. 357 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 3: I think that's the preemptive strike. 358 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 2: By the Gigiping in order to consolidate. I mean, he's 359 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: friends with these general officers since they were kids. 360 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: I mean, is this goes way back and what. 361 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: He's accusing him of is basically treason, which means he 362 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: will be summarily executed at some point. So I think 363 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 2: it's more or less the communist thing that's taking place here, 364 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 2: and maybe things aren't moving fast enough, but we're still 365 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 2: waiting for the dust to settle. But if anything, I 366 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 2: think it pushes out. An invasion of Taiwan doesn't make 367 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: it any sooner. 368 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: I will use KUP as the all purpose terminology. And 369 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: the general in question, Jane Ja is seventy five Vice 370 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: chairman of the Central Military Commission. He's the number two. 371 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: He runs the entire military. Why would it be thought 372 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: that they're there was a change made? You call it 373 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: a significant maybe one of the more significant moves in 374 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: recent memory. What about it makes it significant? The friendship 375 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: or something else? Now? 376 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: Well, all those things, the friendship and the multiple layers 377 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 2: underneath it. In consolidation, the Chinese military has been on 378 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: red hot when it comes to improving and modernizing and 379 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: making significant changes and looking to see if you know, 380 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 2: they can actually do something. There's an experience gap though, 381 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: which they don't have, and I think that's maybe what 382 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: these general officers were saying. There's reports that said that 383 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: they don't want to go into Taiwan. They feel that 384 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: the United States would actually do a number on the 385 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: Chinese government and it would be it wouldn't be a 386 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 2: good way to start what would could potentially be the 387 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 2: Third World War, and that could be the reason why 388 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: it took place. But the fact that these general officers 389 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: were behind the rebuild of that military and know it 390 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: so well and now they're gone is fairly significant. And 391 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 2: these were the only experienced combat troops that they had 392 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: based on that seventy nine war that the Chinese had 393 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 2: in Vietnam, and so they kind of know at least 394 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,719 Speaker 2: what things are like. 395 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 3: And again the fact that they were friends from childhood. 396 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: There is a significant significant change with regard to how 397 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 2: the China's running its military. 398 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: Talking to Major Mike Lyons, retired the United States Army 399 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: military analysts, you know, you bring up these are soldiers 400 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: that have actually had some fighting experience. China does a 401 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: lot of saber rattling. China does a lot of hey 402 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: look at us, whether you know, conversations about missile technology 403 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: and the parades and everything else. But they're working on 404 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: their their aircraft carrier technology. But in the end there's 405 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: a real question about whether or not China could take 406 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: a punch to the nose the idea of the paper 407 00:24:53,720 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: tiger that is China in your analysis, Yeah, is China 408 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: formidable or is there a way to see that they 409 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: are even though they have not actually been tested anywhere? 410 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 3: Great question. 411 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: China remains the great imitator, and what they've tried to 412 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: do is imitate success that they see the United States has. 413 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: Had on the battlefield. Go back to the Desert Storm. 414 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 2: They saw what the combined arms efforts did back then, 415 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: bringing air, sea, and land together and to destroy the 416 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 2: fourth largest army in the world back. 417 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 3: Then in four days. 418 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: And so China remains that imitator and believes that they 419 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 2: could just roll out the same kinds of things. But 420 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 2: to your point, they lack the experience and there's a 421 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: talent gap there. I mean, look at the fact that 422 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 2: the United States can pull off that mission with Maduro 423 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: because they could put ten to twelve people in a 424 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: room that could come up with that plan that bring 425 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: all this different experience levels to the table. China doesn't 426 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 2: have any of that. They would have to start from 427 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 2: zero and make these bad assumptions that the United States 428 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 2: is unfortuate and learned the hard way in some cases, 429 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 2: and so that really matters, especially at the very strategic 430 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: levels of what they're trying to do. And I think 431 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: that's I think that's the major point is they don't 432 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: know what exactly the United States would respond to. They 433 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: China has hypersonic missiles and feels that they could sink 434 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: a care We've seen trying to do that in terms 435 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 2: of their targeting, but the whather they can actually pull 436 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 2: the trigger on it, we mays to be seen really quick. 437 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: Because you brought up the hypersonics, this is a quick 438 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: detour onto Greenland and the importance of Greenland's strategic placement 439 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: to be able to locate hypersonics before they reach American chores, 440 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: whether they be from Russia, whether they be from China. 441 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,959 Speaker 1: The hypersonic travels with the curvature of the Earth, as 442 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: opposed to a ballistic missile which is heading out of 443 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: out of the atmosphere and then re entering the atmosphere, 444 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: making it much easier to see. Is Greenland the only 445 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: place that we need in order to have more safety 446 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: and security from what is a clear Russian and Chinese threat. 447 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 3: Well, it's a major observation post. 448 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 2: If you combine Greenland with Alaska on the other side 449 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 2: of the hemisphere, you have now a triangle type of position. 450 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: Bring it down to like the Foxhoil level that you've 451 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 2: got converging fires and potentially on where the threat could 452 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 2: come from. It's exactly right, it would come across the 453 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: top of the Earth, and that's why Greenland is so important. 454 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 3: I think. 455 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: I think the President was right instinctively and gave Europe 456 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 2: a wake up call about Greenland and why it's so 457 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 2: important to us. I think it remains to be seen 458 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 2: whether the iron dome technology, the Golden dome, whatever we're 459 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 2: calling it, is still going to work. I think it's 460 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: still very difficult to hit a missile with a mother missile, 461 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: especially when it's going hypersonic speed. I think there's going 462 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 2: to be other ways that that's going to have that 463 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 2: missile taken out, not necessarily kinetically, maybe electronically or something else. 464 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: But Greenland is very strategic. 465 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 2: And it's as a store a place on the planet 466 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: it is. It is a place where we've got we 467 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 2: have to put resources there to protect what's really the 468 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 2: side door of our country at the top door. Whatever 469 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 2: you want to call it, which could be easy target. 470 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: Talking to Major Mike Lyons, retired to the United States 471 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: Army military analyst, let me bring you now to another 472 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: part of the globe, which is Iran. And I mentioned 473 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: the USS Abraham Lincoln making its way, I believe to 474 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: the Mediterranean. The Huti rebels have said they would shoot 475 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: at the Abraham Lincoln because of course they're supported by Iran. 476 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: You have other destroyers and other warships that are going 477 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: to go in the med and in the Persian Gulf, 478 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: all because the pressure is on to get rid of 479 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: the Ayatola. The protests have been happening. Word on the 480 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: street is that the Iatola and the IRGC, the Islamic 481 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard coorus killed forty thousand Iranians who have been 482 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: engaged in protests. And I'm willing to bet you any 483 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: amount of money, Major that that number is low compared 484 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: to what has really happened on the streets there. But 485 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: it seems that the presidents moved the maneuvers where he's 486 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: told these protesters. Help is on its way would be 487 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: about hitting military targets, not necessarily breaking the IRGC, which 488 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: would be necessary for the people of Iran. To actually 489 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: be free of the Islamic yok of the Ayatolas. So 490 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: you see these assets moving into the men moving into 491 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: the Persian Gulf. What is moving where and what is 492 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: the purpose? 493 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: Well, I think the president backed themselves into having some 494 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: kind of military solution because you told the Ranian people 495 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: you have to stand by and what are those targets? Well, again, 496 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 2: we've got smart people in the room trying to figure 497 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 2: that out right now, and I think a lot of 498 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: it's probably has to do with Israeli intelligence, as I've 499 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: got to believe that they've infiltrated well inside Iran in 500 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 2: the past five to ten years, which gave us the 501 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 2: kind of intel that allowed us to do this strike 502 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: that we did last spring. But the military targets are 503 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: clearly on the Revolutionary Guards and those tart and their capability, 504 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: and likely first will be missile capability that they still 505 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: have as much as the Israelis knocked a lot of 506 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 2: it out of it, the anti missile defense platforms. They 507 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 2: all to go after the offensive systems and take them 508 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: out as they pose a threat. Now, once they're done, 509 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: now they go after and then specific let's say RGC 510 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: or Revolutionary reguards headquarters, and I think that's what those 511 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: military targets will be. 512 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 3: It's still a very difficult. 513 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 2: Thing to believe that it's going to cause the revolution 514 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 2: to take place. Because civilians don't have any weapons on 515 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 2: their side. They're going to need the Ranian army to 516 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 2: not fight against the civilians, the Iranian army itself, the 517 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: regular army, in order to at least give them a 518 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 2: fighting chance. 519 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 3: But we know in. 520 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 2: Tehran with the water crisis that's taking place, in the 521 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: humanitarian crisis, and it's a very challenging situation. 522 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: But the helping of these of the Iranian people has 523 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: to come from a willingness to break that army or 524 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: break the IRGC and that is something that I do 525 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: not know comes from an aircraft carrier being parked in 526 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: the med or in the Persian Gulf. So where where 527 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask? Again, Maybe it's a different question. 528 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the same question. Where's the pressure point? What 529 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: makes the iatola go run for cover? And oh, by 530 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 1: the way, where the hell is he going to run to? 531 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 3: Well, it's it's there's no insider. 532 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 2: It doesn't appear like there was in Venezuela, And there's 533 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: no mote. Let's say that you can create between the 534 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: people doing the killing, the RGC and the and the 535 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 2: regime against the civilians, that's there as we can throw 536 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 2: all the internet connections that we want inside and we're 537 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 2: still getting the terrible stories. 538 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 3: But that's not going to take it. 539 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 2: It's going to be hard power and and I'm curious 540 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: to see what what the targets are when this thing 541 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 2: finally goes down, because it was a bad expectation in 542 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 2: some ways that the President gave that that he could 543 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 2: get them to stop with with that with just military attack. 544 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: I just I just don't see it. There's nothing there 545 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 3: they can do it. 546 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 2: It's going to take some uprising inside the country that 547 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: we just don't know. 548 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: Is that an uprising that's supported by us on the ground, 549 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: supported by sending them weapons, supported by external pressure. What 550 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: does what does that look like? 551 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: Well, that's where there's really government comes into play, because 552 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 2: it's a home game for them and not us, and 553 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: we don't have as many assets there I'm sure that 554 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 2: we'd like to think we have. And the CIA, by 555 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: the way, he has done a tremendous job when you 556 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: think about it, what they've done in Venezuela with Maduro, 557 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: and let's say it had something to do with what's 558 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 2: un happening in China, if that was true about that 559 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 2: general officer flipping on nuclear secrets. But bring it back 560 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 2: to Iran, it's the same thing here. Whereas they're looking 561 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 2: for that lynch pin, they're looking for that one or 562 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 2: two individuals that can that can make a difference. 563 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 3: They just haven't seen it yet. 564 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: Major Mike Lyons, retired United States Army military analyst. I 565 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: appreciate taking the time to be with us more to 566 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: get to I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz Today. 567 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: It's an interesting map hosted by Ryan Gooderski about apportionment 568 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: in twenty thirty when the next census comes around and 569 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: you take a look at where people have moved from, 570 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: and you take a look where people are moving to, 571 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: and they're leaving California, and they're leaving Oregon, and they're 572 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: leaving Minnesota and Wisconsin and Illinois and New York and 573 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and New Jersey, oh and Rhode Island, and they're 574 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: going to Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. 575 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: So what does this mean, This means that left leaning 576 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: states are going to lose a whole bunch of seats. 577 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, good to be with you. 578 00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: Red states will gain eight seats, states will lose nine, 579 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: and purple states will gain one. I'm assuming he means 580 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: Arizona in that regard Arizona, which we would call the 581 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: purple compared to let's say Georgia or Texas. Now North Carolina, 582 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: don't they have a democratic governor right? Then they've got 583 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: some issuones there, So maybe they mean that the moral 584 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: of the story is the left is going to lose seats. 585 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: This is why they push so much legislation and engage 586 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: such a vicious attack against you, saying that only citizens 587 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: should vote. It's why they oppose the very idea of 588 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 1: voter id. They want anybody they can voting. It's why 589 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: they don't want a census that says no to including 590 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, because what they want is to count everybody, 591 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 1: not everybody that should be he and in doing so, 592 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: they want to be able to say, see, we've got 593 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: more people, so we deserve more representation, which goes back 594 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: to that gross ilhan omar post Ice will leave Minnesota 595 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,240 Speaker 1: if you hand over your voter rolls. That's the quote. 596 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: Then she goes on tells you everything you need to know. 597 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always 598 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: about rigging elections. Tell ilhan Omar that she went from 599 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: having no net worth the thirty million dollars she's getting investigated, 600 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: and this whole thing about the winery. She's got a 601 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: winery that's now worth five million, investigations up the wazoo. 602 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: It's always been about the elections. She wants you to 603 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: not look at what they're doing. We want people are 604 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: here illegally in the US gun and we want clean 605 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: voter rolls. She wants the illegal people to stay here, 606 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,399 Speaker 1: and she wants you not to touch the voter rolls. 607 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: That's the difference between her and you. Aren't you glad? 608 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: Find everything at Tonycotts dot com tomorrow. Everyone take care
