1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Lie from the Heartland and the crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 2: Chances are you're not gonna like the piece deal. What 4 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: does that have to do with anything? This weird argument 5 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: of what a terrible deal? I get it. I agree, 6 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: we understand with whom sweet deal? Right? You mean President Trump? 7 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: I mean Vladimir Putin, I mean Vladimir Zelenski. What is 8 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 2: it that you thought was going to take place? That's 9 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: the question before us, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, that's 10 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: the name of the show. Good to be with You 11 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: find everything at Tony kats dot com. The possibility of 12 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: a peace deal more and more. You realize something that 13 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: we said here was absolutely true and in every way true. 14 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: The two rules of trump Ism remain. The first rule 15 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: of trump Ism is that Trump wins. The second rule 16 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: of trump Ism is that a deal can always be 17 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: made as long as it adheres to the first rule 18 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: of trump Ism. Ladies and gentlemen, that's this deal, a 19 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: deal that would see Russia get more land than they 20 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: may have right now, get control of the dune bus. Yes, 21 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: these areas are ethnically Russian, but that's not the story. 22 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: They're getting rewarded for an invasion as opposed to being 23 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: pushed back. Since when does America not push back? Since 24 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: maybe it can't afford it financially, can't afford it doesn't 25 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: have the will to do it. As a matter of 26 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: foreign policy, it no longer sees these things in the 27 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 2: same way. Maybe some problems are to be left to Europe. 28 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 2: That isn't my view. I want to be clear about that. 29 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: That is absolutely not my view. We're not talking about 30 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: my view. We're talking about what is my view. You 31 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: better be willing to hit Vladimir Putin hard? And this 32 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: was always my argument to the political left. This is 33 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: my argument also to the political right. If you're unhappy 34 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: with this deal, if it gives Vladimir Putin too much, 35 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: if it allows Putin to get too much land, if 36 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: it rewards too much, I'll agree with you. Now, what 37 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: are you willing? I said this to Democrats. Then are 38 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: you willing to walk into Moscow, walk into wherever it is, 39 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: Putin's place is residence is, and slit his throat? What? 40 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: How else does this end? If you're not willing to 41 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: do that? The show of force? What force are you 42 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: talking about? How much force? And the force where on 43 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: the other side of the river, in Kiev or in 44 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: Moscow itself. As you start tearing down major structures in 45 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: Red Square, what's your plan? This was my question for 46 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: the Democrats every time they said, you're not giving Ukraine this, 47 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: you're not giving Ukraine that, and you're not giving Zelenski this, 48 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: You're not giving Zelenski that. You want to end the 49 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: Russian threat, declare war on Russia. Let's go to work now. 50 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: I don't know he declared war on Russia when they 51 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: didn't declare war on us. But if your plan is 52 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: support Ukraine at all costs, well then let's go. He 53 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: didn't do that, and I don't hear conservatives calling for that. Now. 54 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: Once that's off the table, can I ask what deal 55 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: did you think you were gonna get? Are we grown 56 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: ups or not? Are we dealing in the same reality 57 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 2: or not? The reality is Russia's right there. They got 58 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: a crapload of people, they do have guns, they do 59 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: have nuclear weapons, and they can outlast the Ukrainians, and 60 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: they can lead to tens of thousands, if not one, 61 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of more deaths. What's your plan? Trump's 62 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: plan was win if you could say anything about the guy, 63 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: say you know what his plan is, I'm gonna end 64 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: this thing in a day. Well it did not end 65 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: in a day. He's even said a little trickier that 66 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: I thought. Okay, maybe a little trickier than you thought. 67 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: I get it. Trump does not care how this wins. 68 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: Trump does not care how this ends. It just has 69 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: to stop so he can say I stopped it, and 70 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: then if it starts again, he can say, well, they 71 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 2: didn't listen. Because that's where we're at, that's what we're 72 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: up against. Of course this could start again. You have 73 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: some level of deal on peace. Who says it's gonna 74 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 2: last for six months, trust Vladimir Putin. We already know 75 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: that that's a non starter. But the objective is get 76 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: the killing to stop. And if it stops for a day, 77 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: Trump gets to say, look what I did, stop another war. 78 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: If you're on the political left, you're like, oh, that's 79 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: just talk. What was your plan? Keep throwing money at this, 80 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: Keep throwing money at this. That that gets us? What 81 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: that gets us? 82 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: No? 83 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 2: Stop, We just keep paying and keep paying and keep paying. 84 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: We keep getting closer and closer to some level of involvement. 85 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 2: Speaking up where the heck is the NATO involvement. NATO 86 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: is acting all tough. NATO was going to be purchasing 87 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: our weapons, they were going to use them, and I guess, 88 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: I guess they change their minds. Which is not a 89 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: conversation that is coming up. There's no part of any 90 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: deal that allows Russia to benefit from their aggression that 91 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: I like. I don't think it's a good idea, and 92 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: I do think we should have been far more aggressive 93 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 2: with the Russian threat. And I think that the people 94 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: who made the claim of this isn't our war, this 95 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: isn't our problem, we're wrong, and they were always wrong. 96 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: That would include Vice President Vance and a host of others. 97 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: It was a bad idea, it was a bad play. 98 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: I'm here now with the possibility of a deal on 99 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: the horizon. Rans Paul, who always has a thing to 100 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: say in a conversation, brought up, brought up Venezuela. Listen. 101 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: On the Republican side, a good solid majority still are 102 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: of the neo conservative variety and do believe in invention. 103 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 4: But they've masked that and they've been clever. So Lindsay 104 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 4: Graham has not changed his positions, but he's clever and 105 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: he's become very close to the president and influenced as 106 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: a president. Same with Marco Rubio. So depending in Asian 107 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 4: or regime change, war in Venezuela is hatched by those people. 108 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 4: I actually think Trump is the one who is least 109 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 4: likely to want to do these things when he's surrounded 110 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: by people who believe in regime change and are goading 111 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 4: him on. I do think though, that if he invades Venezuela, 112 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: or if he approves significant arm sails which are really 113 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 4: gifts to Ukraine or more welfare to Ukraine. If he 114 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 4: does either of those, the rift with Marjorie Green will 115 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 4: pale in comparison to what happens to his movement if 116 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 4: he invades. If he invades Venezuela or gives more money 117 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 4: to Ukraine. 118 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: How does Ukraine connect to Venezuela and how does it 119 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: all connect to Maga. Well, this gets heavy now. What 120 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: I'm about to share is a theory that isn't mine, 121 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: and that's okay, but I want to engage it because 122 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: it has I don't know if it has a perfect 123 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: understanding of the situation, but certainly, if we were to 124 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 2: take a look at the globe as a chessboard. These 125 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: pieces are in place for a specific reason. We have 126 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: Donald Trump declaring Venezuela narco terrorists. We have the taking 127 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: out of these drug boats, to which I have no 128 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: issue whatsoever, the idea that it's wrong to do that. 129 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: Somehow I do process being violated. Are we saying that 130 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: our intelligence is wrong, our intelligence community is advised by 131 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 2: Democrats not to listen to the president. Are we saying 132 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: that the intelligence community's assessment that given to the president 133 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: is incorrect. Are we saying that there's no intelligence whatsoever 134 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 2: that these are indeed drug boats? Is there no intelligence 135 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: to what's coming from Venezuela. Is there any intelligence that 136 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: tells us that Nicholas Maduro won the election? No, it 137 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: all tell us that he tells us that he stole 138 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: the election. Point blank. Not only do you take out 139 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: the drug boats, you move the USS Gerald forward into 140 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: the Caribbean. This is the largest aircraft carrier we have. 141 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: And then you bring in the support vehicles, destroyers, other things, 142 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: support ships. You start talking about the AOAR, the area 143 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: of responsibility, Well, ain't that something that's a real build up? 144 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: Why there's a theory that goes as follows. Now, my 145 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: add on to this is that Trump really does hate 146 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: war because he can't understand it. He can't comprehend it. 147 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: Why would you fight with somebody when you could make 148 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 2: money together? What's wrong with you people? I mean that 149 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: is the frontal lobe conversation of Trump. Why would you 150 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: fight you can make money together? Oh wait, wait, you're 151 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: gonna it's not me from doing my thing. Well, then 152 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 2: i'll fight you. Then i'll beat you like a dog, 153 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: and then we'll do business together. Because it was never personal. 154 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 2: It was only about me getting what I want. That's 155 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 2: reality of Trump. I mean, we're not gonna be honest 156 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: with each other. Guys, who are we gonna be honest with? 157 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: There's a theory that what's happening is the world has 158 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: changed and the money is changed, and it's not that 159 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: there's anybody really close to our ability of growth, of 160 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: strength of capability. It's that there are other players who 161 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: have money to spend, and we as a nation cannot 162 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: afford to do all the things that we used to 163 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: do in a world where we basically paid everybody to 164 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: leave us alone or leave each other alone. What do 165 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: you do at that moment? How do you engage at 166 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: that moment, Well, you recognize that the Russians aren't going away, 167 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: even though they're gonna be a vassal state of China 168 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: any moment. That's my take. And China isn't going away, 169 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: and China is a genuine threat and the enemy. Yes, 170 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 2: you have India and some other players, but let's be 171 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: clear about who's doing the fighting here. Maybe you can't 172 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: worry about everybody everywhere. Maybe you can't do all things 173 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: in all places. Maybe the day's post Marshall plan where 174 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 2: you're able to engage this idea of American influence isn't 175 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: as possible as it once was. Economically, it just cannot 176 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: be done. What do you do? You at least take 177 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: care of your own yard. And it's very possible that 178 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: the United States has made a decision that that own 179 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: yard is the Western Hemisphere. We're going to take care 180 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: of hours and they're going to do whatever it is 181 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 2: they do with theirs, and we hope it all works 182 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: out for the best. And that's why when you take 183 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: a look at the build up in the Caribbean, that's 184 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: why when you see this immediate push for a piece 185 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: deal that has Ukraine giving up more land than was 186 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 2: taken and a real push on Ukraine to do so. 187 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: It was Zelenski who said, we either have we can 188 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: have the United States on our side, but we lose 189 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 2: our dignity knowing that he doesn't have the cards and 190 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: this is over, and that Russia could be invade in 191 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: three years or three months. That philosophy is possible, that 192 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: the United States on a very very macro level, large 193 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: overlook level, has taken a look at the field and said, 194 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: we need to be protective of this area, of our things, 195 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: of this place. The other stuff we cannot do, we 196 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: cannot help, and we need to get our own world, 197 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 2: our own ship, our own place in better order. I'm 198 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: not saying I agree with it. I'm saying it is 199 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 2: an interesting concept. It doesn't change certain things, like the 200 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: selling of the F thirty fives in the Abrams tanks 201 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: to Saudi Arabia. Why would you do such a thing 202 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: because from there you have what a friend of mine 203 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: described as making it a very very large land aircraft carrier. 204 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: We know how to use all that weaponary. We built 205 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: those weaponry, we changed trained on that weaponry. It's our stuff. 206 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: We send our boys over they fly. What about the 207 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: women could we all just settle down and not be 208 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: freaks for a second. You know what I meant, move on. 209 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: We do have allies in places, and we do want 210 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: to have forward positioning in places. But that's the story 211 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: about Venezuela. As to Rand Paul's point of if we 212 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: invade Venezuela, if we give money to Ukraine, I know 213 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: about an invasion of Venezuela, but money to Ukraine. What 214 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: more support's going to go to Ukraine? For sure? And 215 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if that breaks up mag at all. No, 216 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: I don't think they'll like it, but I wonder if 217 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: they'll go with Trump if he starts discussing this new 218 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: reality something to listen for. I'm Tony Katz. This is 219 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 2: Tony Katz Today, a review of all refugees admitted under 220 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: Joe Biden. Hot damn count me in Tony Katz, Tony 221 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: Katz Today.

Looking forward to that. That's 225 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 2: six twenty pm Eastern. Well, depending on when you get 226 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: the show. Otherwise you have to go back and check 227 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: the archives, but I'll put it up on my YouTube page, 228 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: YouTube dot com slash Tony Kats not YouTube page, YouTube channel. Wow. Wow, 229 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 2: that's like when you call it the interwebs. That was 230 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: a very very old sounding thing right there. The Trump 231 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: administration is going to take a look at all of them. 232 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: The review, according to critics, with so confusion and fear 233 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: among the two hundred thousand people who fled war and 234 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: persecution to come to the US during that period. Here's 235 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: my answer. Okay, you want to be confused and you 236 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: want to be scared, well, that's your problem. We need 237 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: to know who came to the country and whether or 238 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: not they're here legally, and whether or not they're here properly, 239 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: and whether or not they're the kind of people who 240 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 2: should be allowed to the United States because Joe Biden 241 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: was incompetent and some other people is running the country, 242 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: not him, and Lord only knows what they did, these 243 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: unelected bureaucrat freaks who think that somehow they should be 244 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: in charge and you should suffer by their word. No, no, no, 245 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: we should check everything. The argument is that expediency and 246 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: quantity was prioritized over detailed screening and vetting, warranting the 247 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: comprehensive review and reinterview of all refugees admitted from January twentieth, 248 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one to February twentieth, twenty twenty five. As 249 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: the chat is asking, is there anything under Joe Biden 250 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: that shouldn't be under review? And the answer is no, 251 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: not at all. To think that this is something you 252 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: can argue against the idea that somehow everybody who you've 253 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: let into the country is perfect. This goes back, of course, 254 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 2: to this argument that the political left believes that the 255 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: new colossus, the poem underneath the statue of liberty, give 256 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 2: me you're tired, you're poor, your huddled masses yearning to 257 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: breathe free, that that is somehow policy. It is not 258 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: give me you're tired, you're poor, you're huddled masses yearning 259 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: to breathe free. I think it is very important. But 260 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 2: let's also make sure they don't hate the country or 261 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: trying to destroy it. Let's make sure they're not as lomists, 262 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 2: Let's make sure they're not communists. Where does it say, oh, 263 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 2: and don't have a standard. It is a radically pathetic position, 264 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: and the left loves to push this, but rational people 265 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: know better. It is okay to say, wait a second, 266 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: maybe they don't belong. You know, I get to meet 267 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: a bunch of people. I know a bunch of people. 268 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: You know what. I have determined some people don't get 269 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: to know where I live. I think that's good policy. 270 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: There are some people if I'm out having a cigar, 271 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: it's good to see them. No, they can't come to 272 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 2: my house. I don't know. You don't you think we 273 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: should know the people coming to our house? Don't you 274 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 2: think we should know the people who are We're now 275 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: being told, hey, you have to pay for haven't we 276 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 2: seen enough that some people simply can't be trusted. They're 277 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 2: just liars. They're frauds, whether that be them lying to 278 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 2: get into the country or lying because that's a part 279 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: of their political or religious movement. The idea that we 280 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 2: shouldn't check, double check, and recheck is laughable. Get on it, 281 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 2: President Trump. This is a great example of you know, 282 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 2: there are plenty of things I think not going as 283 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: well as they shouldn't. Something's going to just flat out wrong. 284 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 2: There are things going right. It's worth noticing. Keep it 285 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 2: here on Tony Katz this is Tony Kats today. The 286 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 2: turkey's being pardoned today go by the names of Gobble 287 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: and Waddle. When I first saw their pictures, I thought 288 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: we should send them. Well. I was gonna I shouldn't 289 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: say this. I was gonna call them checking Nancy. But 290 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would 291 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 2: never pardon those two people. I wouldn't And then I 292 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: wouldn't care what Milanni had told me. Darling, I think 293 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: it would be a nice thing to do. I won't 294 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 2: do it, Darling. Good gosh, there's never a moment where 295 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: there isn't an opportunity for Trump to be totally Trump. 296 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, guys, good to be here, 297 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 2: good to be with you. Find it all a tonykats 298 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 2: dot com. Yes, the turkeys were pardoned for their crimes 299 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: against humanity. And for those of you who are going 300 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: to make a turkey this year, I will say to you, enjoy. 301 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 2: Those of us who understand that Thanksgiving should be enjoyed 302 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 2: are making a briskip. I said it, I meant it. 303 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 2: I'm not apologizing for it. By the way, we will 304 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 2: have a brisket and a turkey on the table that's 305 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: going to happen. The word on the street is that 306 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 2: Kiev is ready to proceed with the peace plan. Vladimir's 307 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: a Lenski stating that Kiev is ready to move forward 308 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: with the US backed peace deal and that he's prepared 309 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 2: to discuss the sensitive points with Trump in talks that 310 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: he says should involve the Europeans. There was a copy 311 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 2: of this speech that was seen allegedly by Reuters, Zelenski 312 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 2: urging European leaders to hash out a framework for deploying 313 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: a reassurance force to Ukraine and to continue supporting Kiev 314 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: for as long as Moscow shows no willingness to end 315 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: its war. You mean a peacekeeping force, a reassurance force. Okay, 316 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: we'll have peace, but just to make sure. Here's all 317 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 2: this American hardware run by NATO, which now that's back 318 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 2: on the table. Yeah, maybe maybe the talks of a 319 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: peace deal are a are a little too early in 320 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 2: the offing. Right there just one man's theory. Then there 321 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 2: was this. This was Kevin McCarthy, the former Speaker of 322 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: the House. Now a bit of full disclosure, I will 323 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: say again for the people in the cheap seats, that 324 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: absolutely positively, nothing at all, Nothing was gained by getting 325 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: rid of him a Speaker of the House. I don't 326 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 2: mind Mike Johnson, although there's a conversation that's growing about 327 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 2: the morale of Republicans and the possibility not of defections 328 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: not been becoming Democrats. So people just saying, ba Felesia, 329 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: I'm done, I'm gone, I'm out, I'm resigning. This is 330 00:22:52,840 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: what Kevin McCarthy brought up with Jesse Waters on Fox News. 331 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 3: Whatever what happened, by the way, with MTG, she's leaving Congress. 332 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 2: She's leaving Congress. 333 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: But I don't think that's the end that you'll see 334 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 3: about her. And I think, look, I've always believed anytime 335 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 3: you have an elected official that's known by three initials, 336 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: they're effective on what they do. And I found Marjorie 337 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 3: to be very effective. But she's almost like a Canarian 338 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 3: a coal mine. And this is something inside Congress. They 339 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 3: better wake up because they're going to get a lot 340 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 3: of people retiring, and they got a focus I think 341 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 3: keeping members out of Congress. 342 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: You only get two. 343 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 3: Years to be in the majority, and if the Democrats 344 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 3: get you not to work every day for two months, 345 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 3: that's losing two months of the majority. 346 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 2: A point to be taken, for sure, a couple months 347 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: where you didn't get to do any of your work. 348 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: I think that not caving to them was also very valuable, 349 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: and I think that a sacrifice gets made for the 350 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: other thing. But maybe the idea of no work actually 351 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: happening is better off for the country to begin with, 352 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 2: considering some of the work is just no good. But 353 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: it's this idea of other retirements coming canary in the 354 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: coal mine, this idea that there's a lot of misery. 355 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 2: There's a lot of unhappiness going on in the House, 356 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: possibly on both sides. And one of the conversations is 357 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 2: that Trump is not doing enough on the Republican side 358 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: to help Republicans. He's saying, you do what I tell 359 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 2: you to do. You do what I want you to do, 360 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 2: You do how I want you to do it. Otherwise 361 00:24:53,119 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: you're the enemy. I'll beat you up the That policy 362 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: certainly can rub people the wrong way. That policy certainly 363 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: can become tiresome. I don't know if I believe that 364 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 2: a large scale spade of retirements is coming. We've seen 365 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 2: some Democrats walk away if the Marjorie Taylor Green is 366 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 2: a different beast as a different rationale, including some very 367 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 2: interesting interesting information I learned from Ed Morrissey over at 368 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 2: hot air dot com a story about how Marjorie Taylor 369 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 2: Green wanted to grow her opportunities into other positions in 370 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: Georgia and the data simply didn't back her up, to 371 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 2: which the White House had to remind her of. But 372 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: who are the Republicans who are now going to engage 373 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: the You know what, This was fun, but we're gonna 374 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 2: get walloped in the midterms, and I don't want to 375 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 2: be part of it. So I'm just gonna leave now. 376 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 2: I don't I don't necessarily believe. I don't have anything 377 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 2: that shows me for sure that Republicans are going to 378 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 2: lose in the midterms. I know what the standard situation is, 379 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 2: the party in power loses seats. That's that standard, right, 380 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 2: that's the standard flow of things. I don't know if 381 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: that's going to be true here, because one of the 382 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: arguments that has to be made is that people see 383 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: the Democrats as capable, competent, valuable good. That isn't true. 384 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 2: That isn't the case. This is also seen in the 385 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 2: conversation regarding Senator Mark Kelly, the Senator from Arizona, who 386 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: is part of that despicable video, that despicable video saying 387 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 2: that you should not listen to orders from the president. Now, 388 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 2: some will argue, they say that they were just reminding 389 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: the military that they shouldn't follow I legal orders, that 390 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 2: you're not allowed to follow legal orders. That's what they said. 391 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: What they were saying is Trump gives illegal orders. Do 392 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 2: not follow orders from President Trump. This is what they 393 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 2: were saying. And every rational person knows that is aware 394 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: of that. This is David From, remember when they got 395 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 2: him a conservative that was adorable. This is David From 396 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 2: trying to make an argument the defense, the Department of Defense. 397 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 5: It did so because in a few years before that, 398 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 5: the United States had hanged a bunch of Japanese generals 399 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 5: for the crime of waging offensive war and wanted to 400 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 5: make clear that the United States would fight only in 401 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 5: self defense according to the rules of international law that 402 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 5: the United States had imposed on Japan and Nazi Germany. 403 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 5: Every time that in violation of active Congress, the Secretary 404 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 5: makes up these titles for himself, Secretary of Partying, Secretary 405 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 5: of War, whatever he calls himself, those are illegal orders. 406 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 2: Too, you never called himself the Secretary of Partying. President 407 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: Trump wants to rename it the War Department, and so 408 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: he goes by Secretary of War. You could argue, certainly, 409 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 2: but it's not the War Department, it's the Defense Department, 410 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: and you need an Act of Congress to change it back. 411 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 2: But if that's your example of an illegal order, you're weird. 412 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 2: That isn't what they were saying. And we all know it. 413 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: All rational people know it. All the irrational people are 414 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: on my Twitter feed. All the irrational people follow me 415 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: on Twitter exid Tony Katz. You'll see some nuttiness. And 416 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: they're still doing it like they have an argument. Oh, 417 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 2: they're so cute. And when I say cute, I mean 418 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: virgins living in their mom's basement. But cute, no, no, no, 419 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: not the cute kind of virgin of living in their 420 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: mom's basement. Look to find that right person spending life 421 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: with No, I mean the sad kind of virgin living 422 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 2: in their mom's basement where mom doesn't want them living 423 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: in the basement and they don't have any options but 424 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 2: to live in the basement because the outside world is scary. 425 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 2: Two on the nose, No, yes, right, we know what 426 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 2: was said. This pushback has led to Pete Hegseth referring 427 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 2: to the senators and these members of Congress as the 428 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 2: seditious six and that he is going to he is 429 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 2: going to see if Kelly, Senator Kelly, could be recalled 430 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: because he's still acted military and possibly have him tried. 431 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: People are infuriated about this. If you're gonna recall him, 432 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: you better be prepared to recall all of us. He 433 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 2: can't recall all of you, because that's not how the 434 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 2: system works. There are some people who are upset about this. 435 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 2: You're focusing on the wrong things. We should be focusing 436 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,959 Speaker 2: on affordability. I believe you can do two things at 437 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: the same time, and I don't disagree that the White 438 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 2: House as we have been discussing here, as I said 439 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: on Sean Spicer's show, and I by the way, I 440 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 2: got the eyre. I got the ire of Steve Bannon, 441 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: which of course means nothing, and then I got the 442 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 2: iyre from what I'm hearing of Scott Besson. I don't 443 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 2: want desire. I'm telling you, you're the guy, You're the 444 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 2: smartest guy in the room. You got to go make 445 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 2: the case for the our economic future. And by the way, 446 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: he's been doing just that. I do not take credit 447 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: for it, but he has been making the case. Now 448 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: he did it on the Sunday shows aggressively about inflation 449 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 2: and about other economic issues, and the time's gonna take 450 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: to get things rolling. This is the argument that should 451 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 2: have been happening in a much more concerned way, in 452 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 2: a much more obvious way. But there's some people arguing, 453 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 2: why are you Why are you going after Mark Kelly? 454 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 2: You go after Senator Kelly. All you're doing is raising 455 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: his profile. He's already really popular in Arizona. Now you're 456 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 2: gonna make him a presidential contender. This is a misread 457 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: of the situation. You call them a seditious six, which 458 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 2: I think calling them the seditiou six is silly, right, 459 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: That was wrong of Secretary of Hexseth. You have to 460 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: treat this seriously. Don't name call it. You're not Trump. 461 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 2: Don't play that game. This was a usurpation of your 462 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: authority and of the authority of them, of the chain 463 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: of command. You better discuss it, and I don't mind 464 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: you pushing on it. Just don't call it names. Don't 465 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 2: give it catchy slogans stop that, don't do that, be 466 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: the pro but absolutely pushed back. And there's some people saying, well, 467 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 2: you don't do that. You don't do that because you're 468 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 2: raising his Q rating and you're gonna make it more popular. 469 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 2: Now he can be a presidential candidate. What are you 470 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 2: gonna do about that. That's old school Republican thinking. It's 471 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 2: not conservative thinking. It's old school Republican thinking. Oh, we 472 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 2: better not do anything because you know that could be bad. Oh, 473 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 2: we better not respond because that could be bad for us. Oh, 474 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 2: we better not do this because that could be bad 475 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 2: for us, And then you end up with Bill Crystal. 476 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with pushing back. That guy tried to 477 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 2: usurp the chain of command. That guy tried to usurp 478 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: the commander in chief. That guy is trying to sow 479 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 2: dissent in the military. And we don't put up with 480 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 2: that crap from nobody. Even if you've been in space, 481 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 2: your uniform wearing days do not shield you from the 482 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: reality of what you do today, and you will be 483 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 2: dealt with accordingly. Sure, there's a political reality, there's always 484 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 2: a political reality. But the idea of do nothing because 485 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 2: you're just gonna raise this guy's level. What this guy 486 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: did was disgusting. So is the same thing with Senator 487 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 2: Lissa Slockin, Same thing with Representative Goodlanders, same thing with 488 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 2: Representative Crow And you have to expose it. And yes, 489 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 2: if under the US United Unified Code Military Justice do 490 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 2: u CMJ I apologize there are charges to be brought. 491 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 2: It should be at least discussed. Not Ooh, let's not 492 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 2: make them too angry. Ooh, enough of that old school crap. 493 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: I could be a conservative, which I am, and know 494 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 2: that that's a bad idea. I'm Tony Katz. A great 495 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: story from hotair dot com Tony Katz Tony kats today. 496 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 2: They actually got the story from over there at Reason. 497 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 2: You guys know that I have absolute libertarian leanings. I'm 498 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 2: not a libertarian for a lot of foreign policy reasons, 499 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 2: but I don't think libertarians are bad. Some people have 500 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 2: a real issue with libertarians. I've never understood it. I'm 501 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 2: not there on the foreign policy stuff on quite a 502 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 2: few things, but on a rational point of view on 503 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 2: economic smartness, I think that I think there's a lot 504 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 2: of value there. But Reason takes a note that homeschooling 505 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 2: has grown homeschooling has grown across the US, increasing at 506 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: an average rate of five point four percent. This according 507 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 2: to Angela Watson of the John Hopkins University School of 508 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 2: Education's Homeschool Hub, that is fantastic. The rate is three 509 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 2: times the pre pandemic homeschooling growth rate of around two percent, 510 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 2: So two and a half times really good. Now, it's 511 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 2: not that homeschooling is for everybody. It's not easy. It's 512 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 2: easier now so many more materialuriols and guides and helpfulness 513 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 2: exists out there. But what I'm hoping this leads to 514 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 2: is a total destruction of the public school system, as 515 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 2: is that people like Randy weingartn are out of a job, 516 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 2: that unions are ruined, and we start building an education 517 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 2: system of value. And what Trump is doing with Linda 518 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: McMahon and putting an end to the Department of Education. 519 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: Brah freakin bo love it. This is Tony Kats today.
