1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Lie from vall Hartbiner and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. Can we take a moment out of 3 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: our busy day to talk about milk. I really didn't 4 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: think I was going to engage the subject whatsoever. But 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: we have a lot to get into about the State 6 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: of the Union. You know, I was there. I'm still 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: in DC right now, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. Good 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: to be with you, Good to be here. Find everything 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: I do over at Tony Katz dot com. And I 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: guess I was so spending the day thinking of the 11 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: madness of what I saw at the State of the Union, 12 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: and it was it was just maddening to see the 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: anger and the vitriol and the hate for no reason. 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: We're not talking about a disagreement in policy. We're talking 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: about a group of people who don't believe in the 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: America that you and I believe in. And as President 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: Trump said, by the way, we said, these people are insane. 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: You can't vote for these people. They're crazy, they're certifiable, 19 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: they're out of their heads. As we have been saying, 20 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: and I will quote Kendrick Lamar again, they're not like us. 21 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: They don't see America the way we see America, and 22 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: I would put forth to you, they don't see America 23 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: at all. And if they do see it, they see 24 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: it at this as this hateful place, as this place 25 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: of violence, as this place of sin, of evil, of wrong, 26 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: of wrongdoing. It's how much do you do you hate yourself? 27 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: How much do you hate everything, all things, everywhere, all 28 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: the time to think this way, everything you, every lens 29 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: you have views America as this, as this evil How 30 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: do you do that? And you know the answer. I'm 31 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: not teaching you anything here. Well, look at what you 32 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: get when you're in college. Look at what you get 33 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: when you have those gender studies degrees. Oh, be angry 34 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: if you want gender studies managers. You know right. Take 35 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: a look at what's happening culturally via social media. Take 36 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: a look at what happens when you watch Name the 37 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: Awards show. Take a look, Take a look, Take a look, 38 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: take a look. The anger is is the proof that 39 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: somehow you're decent, which is you're not decent. I don't 40 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: even know how you can be happy. And this is 41 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: what brings me to the milk thing that I do 42 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: want to get to. But the anger part is what 43 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: I saw from Democrats more than anything. It wasn't good 44 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: humored ribbing. It wasn't a hey, we have a disagreement 45 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: with with the president. It was we don't even want 46 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: to act like normal people. We want to be radical, 47 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: we want to be vitriolic. And then when confronted with 48 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: rational questions of are American citizens more important than illegal immigrants? 49 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: The leftist sits down, sits on their hands, and does nothing. 50 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: They can't say no, they can't put the American citizen first. Now, 51 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: this goes to a conversation of someone by the name 52 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: of Evan say it s a y E T. And 53 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: he wrote about this in the Kindergarten of Eden. He's 54 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: talked about this before. For the progressive there is no 55 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: greater sin on planets Earth than being bigoted. Being a bigot. 56 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: Being bigoted is the greatest sin. And what is bigoted? 57 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: Do you think it's about race, you think it's about religion, 58 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: you think it's about sex or sexual orientation. You have 59 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: to take it all the way to its end degree. 60 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: Bigoted is ranking one thing above the other. Thing. To 61 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: be bigoted to the leftist is to say America is better. 62 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: So why they don't believe in American exceptionalism. They'll say, oh, yeah, 63 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: Iran is bad, what with the abuse of women and 64 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: the throwing of gay people off the roof. But look 65 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: what America did. They didn't, they didn't. They got the 66 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: Pride flag dirty that was painted on the street and 67 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: driven over by cars. You see, you see, they're they're 68 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: just the same. They're just we're just as terrible. We're not. 69 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: We're not the same. They not like us. We're better 70 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: than the Iranian regime. And anyone who thinks otherwise or 71 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: says otherwise lives in a world of pain, anger and 72 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: anguish at all times. This is the point David Mammott 73 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: makes in the book A Secret Knowledge, And I please 74 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: I read. I don't know how people sit and consume 75 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: a whole book in a few days. Right, we're not 76 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: talking about Gavin Newsom bull crap. I read two hundred 77 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: and thirty pages in a half an hour. I could 78 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: read in my eyes closed. I can read. I don't 79 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: even have to know there's a book. Boom, just read 80 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: that book right there. And then he goes about telling 81 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: people I can't read because of my dyslexia. I'd never 82 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: heard him discuss having dyslexia a day in his life. 83 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: Does he actually have dyslexia? I don't know. I have 84 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: no idea. But he wants to really connect with black voters, 85 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: even though there weren't black voters in the room. I 86 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: can't read. I don't read. You never see me read. 87 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: There are pictures of him pretending to read books. I 88 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: don't know if he's reading it or not, but I 89 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: think it's pretend. But what does that matter? But it's 90 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: it's David Mammott wrote in the book The Secret Knowledge 91 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: that if you were to tell the most virulent leftist 92 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: there is where you're standing, the country you're standing in 93 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: is going to end in five minutes. There is no debate. 94 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: The country around you're standing in is going to end 95 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: in five minutes. And there are two planes. And so 96 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: he wrote this book a few years ago. One plane 97 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: goes to Syria. The other plane goes to Israel. Which 98 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: plane you're getting on? Now? You know, like I know, 99 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: like every rational person knows that everybody's getting on the 100 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: plane to Israel. We're gonna land in Tel Aviv. We're 101 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: all eating homicid falafel. Everything's gonna be great, and we 102 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: are gonna party, twenty four hours a day, six days 103 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: a week. It's gonna be fantastic. In Israel, Saturday it's 104 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: gonna be a little quiet, but Sunday nights are gonna 105 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: be out rager. It's gonna be amazing, it's gonna be terrific. 106 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: No one's going to Syria. No one's going to Iran. 107 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: Which you go to Israel? Would you go to Iran? 108 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: No one's going to Iran? The progressive can't say it. 109 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: Give you another example. Ben Affleck was on Bill Maher's show. 110 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: This was quite a few years ago. This might be 111 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: a decade or so ago now, No, maybe longer, maybe longer. 112 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: And Bill Maher asked the panel and Ben Affleck, the actor, 113 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: was on the panel, is capitalism better than communism? Is 114 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: the American way better than the Communist way? And he 115 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: couldn't answer the question. Take that back. He wouldn't answer 116 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: the question. And he wouldn't answer the question because he 117 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: couldn't answer the question because to answer the question, well, 118 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: of course, capitalism is better than communism would be bigoted. 119 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: And even Bill Maher's like, what's wrong with you? There's 120 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: only one answer here. But when you are raised not 121 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: to be bigoted, That being bigoted is the worst possible thing. 122 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: You don't say anything it's bigoted, You issue you attack 123 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: people who engage things that are bigoted, and what happens 124 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: in that case you make yourself and everyone else stupid. 125 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: That is the answer. If you are to believe that 126 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: you can't rank things, that you can't notice that one 127 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: thing is better than another thing. If that the being 128 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: bigoted is the greatest sin in civilization, how can you 129 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: possibly be smart? Because there are no right answers. There's 130 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: only what feels good, and that's not anything you can 131 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: build a society with. Can't build a bridge with good feelings, 132 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: You have to build it with math. There have to 133 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: be proper answers for how much concrete you pour, how 134 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: much rebar you need, and how much weight the suspension 135 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: can hold. Good feelings don't hold cars over water. They 136 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: just don't. The left can't bring themselves to do it. 137 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: They can't bring themselves to say one thing is better 138 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: than another thing. Everything has to engage moral equivocation. Oh 139 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: sure they're bad, but look what we did or everything. 140 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: Everything has to have a connection with something that is wrong. 141 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: This you may have heard differently in your life intersectionality. 142 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: When you hear intersectionality like as connected to critical social theory, 143 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: critical race theory, these things like that, it's the idea that, oh, 144 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: sure we all do this thing, but you see how 145 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: it means this thing over here. You're always a racist, 146 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: You're always a biggot. Everything's always racist, and everything's always bigoted. 147 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: This brings us to the milk. I've got the New 148 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: York Post story, but you can find the story in 149 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of places. Arthur Kaplan, he teaches bioethics at NYU, 150 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: New York University. He is going on about the Whole 151 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: Milk for Healthy Kids Act. It's a bit of congressional 152 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: legislation signed into law. This goes back to January of 153 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty sixth And what it does. It modifies the 154 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: requirements for milk provided by schools participating in the National 155 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: School Lunch Program. It's whole milk goes along with conversations 156 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: of Secretary of Robert F. Kennedy about nutrient rich foods 157 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: and eating things that are actually valuable for you and 158 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: good for you and create a value for you. And 159 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: what does he write in his blog that whole Milk 160 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: has become a symbol for white supremacists. Quote Nazis were 161 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: enamored of whole milk as well. Now at this moment, 162 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: I realize I should have given you some fair warning 163 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: because you could be driving your car and right now 164 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: you've hit directly into a telephone pole. I cannot be 165 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: held liable. Clearly, it's all your fault. Nice I said 166 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: that for the lawyers. The lawyers were pretty insistive since 167 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: that I claim no culpability whatsoever. The milk is political. 168 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: He even writes, I am suspicious milk drinking is political. 169 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: Drinking a whole white milk has played a big role 170 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: in racist and far right thinking in America. Drinking whole 171 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: milk has for years been a part of all to 172 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: right white nationalists messaging and tweets, memes, and videos. Arthur Kaplan. 173 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: Now I would take this moment to note that my 174 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: oldest is crazy about cereal and growing up before the 175 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: college days. And I assume now I don't think I 176 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: have asked my oldest, hey, what do you need for breakfast? 177 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: Like like every day? Can I have a running log? 178 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: I figure that kid knows what to eat and what 179 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: not to eat, and what makes them feel good and 180 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: what makes them feel terrible. And then if I have 181 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: to micromanage adult showed on what they're having for breakfast, 182 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: I've done a terrible job as a father. Last I 183 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: checked my kid's crazy about the cereal crazy cuckoo nuts 184 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: for the cocoa puffs, loves the cereal, doesn't hey coco puffs, 185 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: but loves the cereal uses whole milk. Arthur Caplan thinks 186 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: that my son, my Jewish son, is somehow supporting the 187 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: white nationalists of the neo Nazis. I'd like to have 188 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: a word with Arthur Caplan that isn't going to be kind. 189 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: Doesn't he know he's stupid? Doesn't he know that's the 190 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: dumbest thing ever said that There is no intellectual prowess 191 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: connected with that. It's stupid. And you're calling my kid 192 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: a Nazi, and for that, I think you and I 193 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: should fight. Oh, if you call my kid a Nazi, 194 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: I think you and I should fight. I think it 195 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: should really get rough and tumble. My kid would look 196 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: at me and say, what do you get into a 197 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: fight with this loser? For this guy thinks that milk 198 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: is racist? And then therefore there is no fight because 199 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: anybody who thinks milk who's racist is insane. But they 200 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: never stop. And what happens is is that they keep 201 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: throwing things out into the world and throwing things out 202 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: into the world, and they keep pushing things out into 203 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: the world like this, this absolute hateful nonsense clap trap 204 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: bs kids. They younger people, I'm talking about your young teenagers. 205 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: They buy in, which brings us to the next story, 206 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: tying this all together about the milk. I was talking 207 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: with some people about AI, artificial intelligence, and I have 208 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: seen now this sweeping thing across the country. I've seen 209 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: it from the left like Bernie's and is leading the 210 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: charge for the communists, and he's a communist. Uh, don't 211 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: say democratic socialist to me again. Just just next thing 212 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me, gender affirming care is real, it's 213 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: it's it's enough. Sure, this anti data center push now, 214 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: I think there are questions to ask about data centers, right, 215 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,359 Speaker 1: these massive farms where the AI gets I'm gonna say processed. 216 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: Maybe that's not the best way, but I think it 217 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: makes it the most digestible, easy to understand what I'm 218 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: trying to say. And the data farms take a lot 219 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: of energy and data farms take water, right, the cooling 220 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: and everything else. Now it's closed loop system. It's only 221 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: so much water, and it keeps working through and it's 222 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: only a little bit of ad every now and again. 223 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: But the very idea that, oh my gosh, these data centers, 224 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: they they take so much power. We can't have data centers. 225 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: We need data centers. We live in the world of AI. 226 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: We need to live in the world of advanced computing. 227 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: We live in the world of of five G We 228 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: we need data centers. What are we pretending now? If 229 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: you don't want to be a state that has data centers, 230 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: well what do you want? Is the question I always ask. 231 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: But I don't know if I'm opposed to data centers 232 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: just because some mob mentality freak shows opposed to data centers. 233 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: I I don't follow mobs. I don't pay attention to them, 234 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: and yet I see people on the political right in 235 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: these mobs. I haven't come to a conclusion whether a 236 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: data center is a real problem. I have come to 237 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: the conclusion that we need the data centers. So with that, 238 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: this woman recounts the story that her daughter, like one kid, 239 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: is doing a search or doing looking something up with 240 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: AI will like chat GPT, and their other kid says, 241 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: why are you using chat gpt? You know you're wasting water? What? Oh, yeah, 242 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: you use so much water every time you do a search, 243 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: as if somehow the utilities are utilized only when you're 244 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: using AI and not what you're doing just a search 245 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: on Google and going through the quarry. The real story 246 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: here is that this kid is like nine or ten, 247 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: maybe maybe they're they're if I remember, at a young teen, 248 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: and they're already being taught that if you utilize AI, 249 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: you're destroying the planet. The point is when they bring 250 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: up you know, milk is racist, some child believes it, 251 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: and that is the danger. It is imperative for us 252 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: to fight these narratives at all moments because these people 253 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: never stop. And it's why you got to keep an 254 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: eye on your kids. It's why you got to determine 255 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: where they go to school. It's why you gotta tell 256 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: them to social media and you can't send them to NYU. 257 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: They'll end up stupid and with a calcium deficiency. But 258 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: how many more ways do you need to see? All 259 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: the ways they're coming after you, with their hate and 260 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: with their vituo not coming after you, coming after your kidskids, 261 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: and therefore coming after you with the hate and the 262 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: vitriol and the violence and just the sheer anger. Yeah, 263 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: it's rightening, isn't it. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony 264 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: Katz today. So Republicans are now out there post State 265 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: of the Union and they're talking to the press and 266 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: they have to, you know, digest what President Trump said, 267 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: and they have to be able to show whether they're 268 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: in line or whether they're going to step out of 269 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: line on these subjects. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good 270 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: to be with you. Well. Senator John Thune set a 271 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: majority leader. He's on Fox News. He's talking to Aijah 272 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: Hasni and the question is about the Save Acts, which 273 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: got huge applause, and Trump's like, get this passed right now? Well, 274 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: are we going to get voter ID, which is the 275 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: Save Act passed right now? 276 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: This seems like a no brainer. 277 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 3: Are you going to put this bill on the floor 278 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: even though you won't have the votes to pass it, 279 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 3: just to get Democrats on the record. And if so, when, 280 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 3: well we will, We'll put the Democrats on the record. 281 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 3: And it's a store contrast. I should the Democrats even 282 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 3: in the Chamber last night. Having to sit there and 283 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 3: try and defend allowing non citizens to vote in American elections. 284 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 3: That is a losing proposition for them. So we will 285 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 3: get a vote on it. And we are right now 286 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 3: in the middle of a government shut down, so we've 287 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 3: got to try and get the government opened up first. 288 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 3: But in due time we will get that up on 289 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 3: the floor. We will have a vote on it. We 290 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 3: will make sure that the Democrats are on the record. 291 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 3: It is a start contrast between Republicans and Democrats about 292 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 3: how they want to handle elections in this country, and 293 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 3: this is going to put them I think in a 294 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: very difficult position. It's an issue if I were running 295 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 3: as a Democrat in the midterm elections in November, I 296 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 3: wouldn't want to have to defend. 297 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: So he's telling you something here that's very important. We 298 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: absolutely will not able to get this pass. We will 299 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: not be able to get it pasted. It isn't going 300 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: to pass. We do not have what it takes to 301 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: get it passed. We aren't going to blow up the filibuster. 302 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: We will not pass this. I want to make sure 303 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: you understand that that's what he said. My gosh, Finally, 304 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: we're seeing a bit of fight, and what's the fight. 305 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: We'll put them on the record. We will force them 306 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: to say that they don't want voter ID laws, and 307 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna use it against them in the midterms. That 308 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: is some Democrats stuff right there. Publicans don't usually do that. 309 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: Republicans don't usually have the stomach for that. I have 310 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: been wondering. I've been asking where's the fight. I've got 311 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: a whole event I'm doing this weekend about where is 312 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: the fight? And all of a sudden, low and behold, 313 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: you see a little something something something something something something 314 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: like that. I like that a lot. I'm Tony Katz. 315 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz. 316 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 3: Today. 317 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 4: All Democrats, every single one of them, voted against these 318 00:19:50,280 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 4: really important and very necessary, massive tax cuts. And that's 319 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 4: they wanted, cheering, large scale tax increases to hurt the 320 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 4: people instead. But we held strong and with the great, big, 321 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 4: beautiful bill, we gave you no tax on tips, no 322 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 4: tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for 323 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 4: our greates. 324 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: That was Trump doing it right. Here are our successes. 325 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: Something we've been talking about now for a couple of months, 326 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: and they're now doing an earnest it was just bestn't 327 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: And now you're seeing it all over the place. And 328 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: that's what the State of the Union was. Here's what 329 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: we're doing, and here's why we did it, and here's 330 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: why it's good for you, and not enough people are 331 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: talking about it. Look at these successes. Boom boom boom, 332 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: boom boom. The Republicans have done the worst vesting job 333 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Awful, horrible, despicable, and I'm happy to 334 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: see them at long last listening to us and turning 335 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: that around. Tony counts cats today. Good to be here, 336 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: Good to be with you. That was part of the 337 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: State of the Union. Democrats cheering for tax increases not 338 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: usually the thing you want to do. But Democrats screwed 339 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: it up so much. They screwed up the visuals, they 340 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: screwed up everything. It's kind of what they do well. 341 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: It matter for their base, No, wi't matter for their 342 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: base because they think that, you know, not showing up 343 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: for the State of the Union or something, it's brave 344 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: or some silliness like that. These aren't really the brightest 345 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: people in the world. They are certainly dangerous. Sadly people 346 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: vote for it, but they show up, not in masks. 347 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: You have like seventy people stay away and they look ineffective, 348 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: and then when they do respond, they're cheering for tax increases. 349 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: Very very odd. You know. I was there. I was 350 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: at the State of the Union. I watched this thing happen, 351 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: and I watched these Democrats because where I was, where 352 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: I was situated, I was behind the president. No, no, 353 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: that was Jadie Vance is higher up and over to 354 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: the left as you're looking at your television screen. But 355 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: I was in that part of the gallery. I've been 356 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: in the gallery now three times for some major events. 357 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: It's the first time I've ever been situated behind the president. Hey, 358 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: I was appreciative of the ticket, and Senator Todd Young 359 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: of Indiana got me the ticket. I greatly appreciated. It 360 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: was a fantastic experience. But I was looking down directly 361 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: at the Democratic Party. There was the Keem Jefferies, I 362 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: mean right rarely, like right in front of me was 363 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: Iljana mar Rashida Talib. There was a moment I was 364 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: looking at them because they were screaming and yelling and 365 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: then laughing in appropriately and incredulous and just vicious nasty. 366 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: And there's a moment that they're steaming and the crowd 367 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: is cheering on Trump, and I think we locked eyes. 368 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: I am convinced we locked eyes. And I gave her 369 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: this kind of look of not my problem, you know, 370 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: like I'm applauding, I'm going along with it. I see 371 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: her and she's looking up and I just go, eh, 372 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: it was one of those I do not know, I 373 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: will admit. I then looked away because I'm like, dude, 374 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: if lebron can throw somebody out of a basketball game 375 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: for some kind of like snide comment or weird thing, 376 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: what can a member of Congress too? So maybe maybe 377 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: I shouldn't be engaged. It's such a direct sucks to 378 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: be you, but oh it must suck to be her. 379 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: They were so awful and the Democratic Party there was 380 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: this list of things. Caroline Levitt had this list of 381 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: things that they did not stand for or cheer for. 382 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: Putting American citizens over I legal aliens, voter ID laws, 383 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: the murder rate at its lowest point since nineteen hundred, 384 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: keeping violent criminals locked up, protecting parental rights, stopping fraud 385 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: angel families, price transparency, taking on drug cartells, tax on 386 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: tips over time, and such. Security the most secure border 387 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: in history. They don't care about any of this stuff. 388 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: They don't give a dang about any of this stuff. 389 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: They're upset with these things upset. That's a weird thing 390 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: to be upset with. It's a weird thing to be 391 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: bothered with. That's who they are. And they look bad 392 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: last night. Oh they look bad, and they'll look bad 393 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: a week from now and a month from now, they 394 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: really really will. So I got my view, and I've got, 395 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, a bunch. I've been talking about my experiences 396 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: at the State of the Union, but someone who has 397 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to hit a couple more states of 398 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: the Union than me, including the Biden States of the 399 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: Union's Congresswoman Aaron Houchin from the Indiana ninth District. I 400 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: was able to catch up with her yesterday as well, 401 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: and she was there. She's on the House Energy Energy 402 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: Committee and a whole bunch of work within the within 403 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: the Caucus, and I caught up with her and got 404 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: with her about her thoughts on the State of the 405 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: Union and the message that Trump gave to Republicans and 406 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: congres Wolman. Houchin, good to have you with us. Your 407 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: vantage point was different from mine, if only because you 408 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: actually got to see the President as he was talking, 409 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: and I only had the back of his head when 410 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: he turned at certain angles. Your take on the State 411 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: of the Union last night. 412 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 2: Tony, great to be with you. We are tired this morning. 413 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: It was a late night, a record setting State of 414 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 2: the Union. But it's you know, after President Trump declared 415 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 2: last night, America is safer, stronger, and more affordable. This 416 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: is you know, we are just getting started. Law and 417 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 2: orders back, crushing, inflation is over. Everything that we have 418 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: endured under Democrats leadership is starting to wane. In America 419 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: is back. There's no question about that. It was exciting 420 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: to be there, obviously, and I skipped leg day at 421 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 2: the gym right because it was going to be a lot. 422 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 2: I knew it was going to be a lot of 423 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: up and down, but there was a lot of reasons 424 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 2: to stand in applaud Unfortunately, the Democrats in probably the 425 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 2: most the most jarring part of the night. I'd be 426 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: interested to get your take. When the President said the 427 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 2: first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, 428 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: not illegal aliens. Democrats did not stand for that. He said, 429 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: stand if you agree. They did not stand and there 430 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: were many other moments that I was surprised by. When 431 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: the victim of the Charlotte train stabbing her mother, Anna Arenas. 432 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: Arena Saruska is her name, and her mother and father 433 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: were there. 434 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: Yes, and the Democrats did not stand. They didn't stand 435 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 2: for law and order. They didn't stand for protecting American 436 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 2: citizens over illegal aliens. They didn't stand for banning transition 437 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 2: surgery for minors. They didn't stand for tax cuts. In fact, 438 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 2: they stood for tax increases. It's really remarkable. 439 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: I was. 440 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 2: I thought the President did a great job last night 441 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 2: laying out the case for why the voters should choose 442 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 2: the Republican Party and our perspective and policies over the Democrats. 443 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: You know, I've said this. I've actually said this to 444 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: you before. Even if I sometimes consider in my head, 445 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: I think it'd be interesting it to run for Congress, 446 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: and it's the idea of having to. I don't know 447 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: how you get the work done, how much you bite 448 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: your tongue, because there are these moments that even if 449 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: you disagree on policy, there are things, as you're bringing up, 450 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: that I don't know how one disagrees on. There was 451 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: a young girl in the gallery who had been injured, 452 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: seriously injured. Somebody with who didn't have a commercial driver's 453 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: license illegally was here. I did not have a commercial 454 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: driver's license or legally obtained one, and caused this great 455 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,959 Speaker 1: damage to this girl. And Democrats did not stand up 456 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: for that. And I asked myself, very honestly, I don't 457 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: know how, you know, can I coexist in that way 458 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: to be able to work on policy if I was 459 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: ever a member of Congress. But I thought there was 460 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about commercial driver's licenses, and for 461 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: those of us who are Hoosiers, this is our story, 462 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: this is I think. I think we are really ground 463 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: zero for this conversation. Have you been a part or 464 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: privy to conversations about I know Senator Banks has talked 465 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: about some of these things. How we engage legislatively or 466 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: in other ways to ensure that our roads are safe 467 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: and that truckers are not hiring people here illegally and 468 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: trucking companies are actually following whatever laws we have on 469 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: the books, and do we actually need more of them? 470 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the answers, Yes, we've been engaged in this issue, 471 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: but we've actually been fighting it since we were in 472 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: the State House. We had Republicans in the State House 473 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: that wanted to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants back 474 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: when I was in the state Senate, which we fought 475 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: successfully killed it in the Transportation Committee. So that's serves 476 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: been pieces of legislation that have been heard that have 477 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 2: been brought up by Republicans to grant license driver's licenses. 478 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: I went through this when my own daughter was what's 479 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: getting our driver's license? And it was easier for an 480 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: illegal immigrant to get a driver's license and it was 481 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,959 Speaker 2: my you know, American teenagers. So this has been an 482 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: issue that's been around even in the state of Indiana. 483 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 2: It's harder for a military veteran with a military CDL 484 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: to get a CDL as a civilian Senate is for 485 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: an illegal immigrant to get a CDL and transfer it 486 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 2: to Indiana. We got to crack down on this. It 487 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: is simply not safe. They're driving these massive trucks that 488 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 2: are killing American citizens in these horrific accidents. Unbelievable yet 489 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: again that the Democrats are choosing illegal immigrants over American 490 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 2: citizens again and again and again. I hope if nothing 491 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 2: else is remembered from last night and there's a lot 492 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 2: to celebrate, but I hope that the American people will 493 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 2: realize that the Democratic Party is not the party of 494 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 2: not America first, certainly, but it's not even American citizens first, 495 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 2: it's illegal immigrants first. 496 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: Before we go on, you are on the House Energy 497 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: and Commerce Committee. You serve on the Subcommittee of Commerce, Manufacturing, 498 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: and Trade. Are there things that you're looking at in committee? 499 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: Things you'd like to bring to committee regarding trucking commerces 500 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: is the reason? Are there things you are considering or 501 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: discussions that you could share with us on this subject. 502 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, we are certainly considering legislation, and for the CDL issue, 503 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 2: I've been trying for many years to get the military 504 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: CDLs to be able to transfer. We do need truck drivers, 505 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 2: but we don't need unsafe truck drivers who are not 506 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 2: trained to do so and are driving our semis across 507 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: the country. So, yes, we're looking at many options for 508 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 2: cracking down on this issue. In particular, I will be 509 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 2: following the President's lead. He mentioned last night he wants 510 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 2: Congress to work on this, and we would be certainly 511 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 2: honored to work with the President and the White House 512 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 2: on finding a way through this so it's safe for America. 513 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: Talking to Congresswoman Aaron Hounchen from the ninth District of Indiana, 514 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: let's get back to the State of the Union last night. 515 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: We could talk for forever on the insanity that we 516 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: saw from the political left and falling for some of 517 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: these clear traps, falling for some of these clear one 518 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: liners that they bought into their plotting for tax increases. 519 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: They're not applauding for victims. They're barely applauding for the 520 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: US hockey team. But turn it to President Trump's side. 521 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: So much of a State of the Union in a 522 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: time like this is to prepare and gear up for 523 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: the midterms. What did you take as the message there? 524 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: What did you take as the talking points from the 525 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: State of the Union that Republicans should be taking back 526 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: to their districts, to their constituents about how you should 527 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: vote in November. 528 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 2: Right. I think this is the biggest point I think 529 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 2: to take home is that we're approaching America's two hundred 530 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,479 Speaker 2: and fiftieth first day and President Trump outlined a bold 531 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: vision to make the American dream more attainable and affordable 532 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: for every working family. We are the Party of the 533 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 2: American citizen. This economy is coming back. We are just 534 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: getting started. This is one year of the administration Trump 535 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: two point zero. It's one year and President Trump and 536 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 2: Congressional Republicans have accomplished more despite a very slim majority. 537 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 2: We've accomplished more in one year than most administrations do 538 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 2: in four. So you know, buckle up for this year. 539 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 2: This is going to be I think an economic election 540 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: year outlined and with an exclamation point, with the backdrop 541 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: of the celebration and patriotism of America two fifty. But 542 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: I hope that if there is a takeaway, it is 543 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: that the Republican Party is the party of working families. 544 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 2: We have delivered again and again. Meanwhile, Democrats are standing 545 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 2: on the side of a legal immigrant, open borders, you know, 546 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: their anti law and order. This was all evident for 547 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 2: anyone watching last night. I'm not telling you anything that 548 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 2: wasn't clear to anyone observing the State of the Union 549 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: last night. 550 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: Representative Aaron Houchin always a pleasure ninth District of Indiana, 551 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: keep an eye on her. Morre's coming up. I'm Tony Katz. 552 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today, and of course, no matter 553 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: what's going on with the state of the Union, the 554 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: four year anniversary of the start of the war in 555 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: Ukraine with the invasion of Russia. You now have the 556 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: Guthrie family basically saying it's probable that our mother is dead, 557 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: but we're going to hold out hope. Now it's a 558 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: million dollar reward for information on the whereabouts of Savannah 559 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good 560 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: to be with you. I haven't followed the story intently, 561 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: but I certainly followed enough to know that I live 562 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: in a world where it's very difficult to go missing. 563 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: There's just too much technolog How does one go missing? 564 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: And yet here we are. No one knows anything, no 565 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: one saw anything, No one can figure anything out. There's gloves, 566 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: there's a suspect or not a suspect. We don't care 567 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 1: about the gloves. These are these other gloves. And people 568 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: are sending ransom notes and we're paying this. We're not 569 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: getting information on that that, we're getting information on this, 570 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: and now we've got to go talk to that. And 571 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: I was the guy depending the police saying, hey, maybe 572 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: they're just giving out information that isn't correct, or they 573 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: seem bumbling because it helps them get closer to a suspect. 574 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,479 Speaker 1: I have no idea now, absolutely no clue what's going 575 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: on with this investigation. What makes sense? What makes what? 576 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: Doesn't the police smart? They are they dopes.
