1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Live from val Hartbyer and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. The shutdown is working its way into 3 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: weak number three. And what the Democrats are still convinced 4 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: of is that they can blame Republicans and they can 5 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: hold all the stunts in the world and all this 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: complaining in the world. What Republicans need to do is 7 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: hold strong, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. To that end, 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: there's Speaker Johnson surrounded by a whole bunch of House 9 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Republicans saying, yeah, Democrats are still responsible here every step 10 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: of the. 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 2: Way, Democrats in Congress again have voted nine times. Here's 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: the tally, every single time the Republicans. 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 3: Have voted to pay the troops. 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: And by the way, all other federal employees, federal workers, and. 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 3: The Democrats have voted over and over to stop it. 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: And the depressing irony of this on this particular subject 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: among all that is that the most pro shutdown Democrats 18 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: actually represent the most active duty service members back home, 19 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: whom they have taken hostage in this insidious political game. 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: And I want to give you a couple of examples, 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: and this is the actual statistic of the ten states 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: with the largest military populations. Six are represented each by 23 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: two Democrats in the Senate who are withholding the paychecks. 24 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 3: Here's the list. 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: In California, it's home to one hundred and fifty seven 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: thousand active duty personnel, the most in the country. Those 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 2: stationed at Fort Hunter Liggett and Camp Pendleton and Edwards 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: Air Force Base and Vandenburgh Space Force Base and others. 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: We'll all miss a paycheck at the end of the 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: month if Democrat obstruction continues. 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: Now this is worthy of note. 32 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: Both California Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Badia are gleeful 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: about this government shutdown. They agree with Chuck Humer when 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: he said very candidly just a few days ago, every 35 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 2: day of the shutdown gets better for us. 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: Who's now understand He's it. This is what Chuck Schumer said. 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: It's how you know this is so blatantly political. They 38 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: wanted this day. They wanted the military not getting paid. Well, 39 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: now you've got Trump and the Pentagon working to find 40 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: a way to get them paid, which will bring us 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: to October twentieth, when congressional staffers don't get paid. I 42 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: don't feel bad about that at all. You know I 43 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: mentioned this on my morning show. There's like fifty plus 44 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: people who worked for iHeart Radio group lost their jobs 45 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: last week on air, promotions, production, executive lost their jobs. 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: You know how many people cried for them outside of 47 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: their families. No one, but somehow congressional staffers don't get paid. 48 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: It's the end of the world. Stop it, stop it. 49 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: I am not going to shed tears. I think it stinks. 50 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: I wish that Democrats would get this done, but they 51 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: don't want to. They don't want to. This is about 52 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: them saying it's our way or no way. And when 53 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: they say we'll sit down any anywhere with anyone at 54 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: any time, they don't. They don't mean they're going to 55 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: make a move. They mean you make a move. So 56 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: this is where we're at, total intransigence. This is the scene, kids, 57 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: And if you argue to me, who's right and who's wrong. 58 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: The House passed the continuing Resolution, and we already have 59 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: some Democrats who have come over and voted for the 60 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: Senate in the Senate on the continuing Resolution. So now 61 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of senators who would much rather have 62 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: a political issue than take care of the people. But 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer said this is working out well for them, 64 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: and as the speaker continued. 65 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: The US he's talking about Democrats, he think. He thinks 66 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: this is assisting their party and giving him political cover 67 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: so he doesn't attract a Marxist challenger. 68 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: In his next Senate reelect. That's what this is about. 69 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: So he thinks the government shutdown is allowing him to 70 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: show a fight against President Trump and Republicans, and he 71 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: is happy about that, and so are Adam Schiff and 72 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: Alex Padilla. While service members are going without paychecks. Virginia, 73 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: Virginia is home to one hundred nineteen thousand active duty personnel. 74 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: It is the second most in the country. Those stationed 75 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: at Naval Station Norfolk, Quantico and Fort A p. Hill 76 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: and others will miss paychecks at the end of. 77 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 3: This month if this is not resolved. 78 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: Both Virginia Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner are playing 79 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: political games with the paychecks of one hundred nineteen thousand 80 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: service members. Georgia, Georgia is home to sixty five thousand 81 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 2: active duty personnel. It's the sixth most in the country. 82 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: Those stationed at Fort Benning, Fort Stewart, Moody Air Force 83 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: Base and others will miss paychecks. And just last week, 84 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: this is this is so aggravating to us, it's so 85 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: frustrating to us, it's so wrong. We saw service members 86 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: waiting hours in lines wrapped around the block at Georgia 87 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: food pantries, and meanwhile, you've got both Georgia Senators John 88 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: Ossoff and Raffie old Warnock have now voted eight times 89 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: against paying those heroes in Washington. The state of Washington 90 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: is home to fifty seven thousand active duty personnel. 91 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: It is the seventh most in the country, and those. 92 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: Stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base, in Naval Base Kitsip, 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: Joint Base Lewis McCord and others will miss paychecks. Both 94 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: Washington Senators Patti Murray and Maria Cantwell have repeatedly voted 95 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: against pay for service members in the everreen state. 96 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: Now, of course, this is smart politics, and the Democrats 97 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: would do this as well. Here are the senators, here's 98 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: the amount of people affected. That's where you should be calling. 99 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: Pressure them to vote for this smart politics. That's the 100 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: way it is. You can argue that it's all ugly. 101 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: I won't disagree with you that it's all ugly, but 102 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: we should at least be aware of what it is. 103 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: We're looking at what it is that's happening and why 104 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: it is so important that the Republicans say, vote for 105 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: the thing. It's a clean continuing resolution, vote for the thing. 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: Remember the argument against. The argument against is that Republicans 107 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: are gutting healthcare. They've created a healthcare crisis. What does 108 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 1: Hakim Jeffrey say the Republican healthcare crisis? His vocal pattern 109 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: is so grating. Oh God, I mean, I guess you 110 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: could think about anybody, right, some people's the way they 111 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: engage doesn't work for you. You can think it about me. 112 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: You'd be wrong, but you can think about me too. 113 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: It's just so grating, and it's so dismissive, and it's 114 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: purposeful in this way. The subsidies fro Obamacare sunset the 115 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty five, as per the Inflation Reduction 116 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: Act put forth by Joe Biden voted on by Democrats, 117 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: where they said the subsidies sunset at the end of 118 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Now they're trying to extend the subsidies, 119 00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: and they're claiming that Republicans are gutting healthcare. That's a lie. 120 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: It's politics one O one, but it's still a lie. 121 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: What do you think happens? It's a manipulation, it's trash, trash. Now, 122 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't want the subsidies extended. But what I am convinced, 123 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: and we said this from the beginning. You know how 124 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: right we were, how on top of it we were 125 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: before anybody else. Trump is absolutely going to extend the subsidies. 126 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: There's not even a question in my mind. But they 127 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: don't want to give Trump that win. They don't want 128 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: the subjects stolen from them. They've got nothing they can 129 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: connect the American people too. They have no way of 130 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: connecting with the American people. They need this. So they're 131 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: fighting for the American people for their health care. That's 132 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: been their argument, that's been their guiding light, that's been 133 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: their mantra. It has not worked out so great because 134 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,679 Speaker 1: until today, really no one's been paying attention. You notice 135 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: how the media has been ratcheting this up over the 136 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: last couple of days because they knew the day was 137 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: I mean of people not getting paid and they're gonna 138 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: be like, my gosh, look what Republicans are doing. These 139 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: people unseerious people at MSNBC and CNN unserrious people. So 140 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: they're playing this political game to claim that Republicans are 141 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: somehow doing something to Medicare that are to Obamacare subsidies, 142 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: which of course isn't the case. The Democrats don't want 143 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: Trump stealing this issue from them, so they're making a 144 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: federal case out of it now, even though they voted 145 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: to have this sunset, these subsidies sunset at the end 146 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five in the Inflation Reduction Act. That's 147 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: the politics at play, Speaker Johnson, as he's been naming senators, 148 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: Democratic senators and the number of constituents affected by the 149 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: shutdown that he is arguing the left is caused. 150 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: Hawaii, Hawaii is home to forty three thousand active duty personnel. 151 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: It is the eighth most in the country. Those stations 152 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: into Dwoint Base, Pearl Harbor, Hickham, the Schofield Barracks, and 153 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 2: others will miss paychecks, and both Hawaii Senators Mazi Herono 154 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: and Brian Schatz have voted against paying soldiers station. 155 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 3: In Hawaii, and by the way, many of. 156 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 2: Them are thousands of miles away from their families. Colorado 157 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 2: is home to thirty five thousand active duty personnel, the 158 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: tenth most in the country, and those stationed at Fort Carson, 159 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: Buckley's Space Force Space, Peterson's Space Force Space and others 160 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 2: will miss paychecks. 161 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: And you guessed it. 162 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: Both Democrats senators are from Colorado. Hicken Looper, John Hickenlooper 163 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 2: and Michael Bennett have voted against paying those troops in 164 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: their state. And I just want to mention New York. 165 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: It gets honorable mentioned it is in in the top ten, 166 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: but the Empire State is home to seventeen thousand active 167 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: duty personnel, the seventeenth most in the country. Those stationed 168 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: at Fort Drum and Fort Hamilton and others will miss paychecks. 169 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: And sadly, both New York Senators Kirston Jillibrand and the 170 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: architect of the shutdown himself, Chuck Schumer can barely their 171 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: delight that the government is closed and troops are not 172 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: being paid. I will just say this, there's something that 173 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 2: should be remembered by everyone. Democrats say that even missed 174 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,359 Speaker 2: paychecks for US troops won't be enough to end this shutdown. 175 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: The Democrats we've just demonstrated represent thousands and thousands of 176 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: the most heroic men and women on the Earth. Refuse 177 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: to put their unserious partisan demands to the side and 178 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 2: pay the troops. And here are the indisputable facts of 179 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: this shutdown. Republicans want to pay the troops, and we 180 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: have shown that with our actions and our votes now 181 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: nine times. And the Democrats want to use them as 182 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: hostages to extort one and a half trullion dollars in new, 183 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: unseerious partisan spending that we just won't go along with. 184 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: We won't sell out the long term security and future 185 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: of the United States so that Chuck Schumer can prevent 186 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: a primary challenge from his left wing. 187 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 3: We will not be a part of that nonsense. 188 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: And until Schumer and the left wing of his party 189 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: are satisfied enough that the pain the shutdown has caused 190 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: has reached a limit that they're satisfied with, in the 191 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 2: Republicans are going to stand here every single day. We're 192 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 2: going to continue to deliver the simple facts directly to 193 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: the American people. 194 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 4: Now. 195 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what gets the Democrats to crack, because 196 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: I was convinced that we're going to crack like day four, 197 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: day five. They don't want this, This isn't working, all right, 198 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: Let's get this over with. Let's not extend the pain. 199 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought that they would have gone this 200 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: far because they've got to be a bunch of them 201 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: that are are not pleased. They don't need this in 202 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: their lives. I've got Lisa Murkowski, so called Republican from Alaska, 203 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: saying that there's a lack of trust between the two parties, saying, quote, 204 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat, you're looking at it and you say, 205 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: why why am I going to be helpful of mister voted? 206 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: Office Management Budget is just going to do a backdoor 207 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: move and we're send what we've been working on. There's 208 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: a lack of trust. Does it make it harder to 209 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: come to terms on hard things like a government shutdown? Absolutely? Well. 210 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: If you're going to be the Republican blaming Russ's vote 211 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: for everything at the Office Management and Budget because for example, 212 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: recision packages, you're doing this wrong, you're gonna be upset 213 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: about pocket decisions, which is to say, the Senate is 214 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: not in session, the Congress is not in session, so 215 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: you can engage. Okay, we're not gonna spend this money. 216 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: Recision is so Congress appropriates dollars, we're gonna spend x 217 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: number dollars on this problem. It's fifty. Let's say we're 218 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: gonna spend fifty dollars I'm using, let's use congressional numbers. 219 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: We're gonna spend fifty billion dollars on this problem. They 220 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: spend it like it's nothing, and then it's like, okay, 221 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: it only took forty billion. Well, we appropriated fifty billion, 222 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: so you have to spend fifty billion. But it only 223 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: took forty billion. So now we're going to put forward 224 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: this recision bill to rescind this ten billion dollars worth 225 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: of spending. The American people say ten billion dollars. There 226 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: are Democrats opposed to this. Now, what they're opposed to 227 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: is money being lost on their pet projects. But if 228 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: we don't need the project, then we don't need the spending. 229 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: And there are Democrats who can't figure out that we 230 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't spend on things that don't matter. Instead of saying, 231 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: you're right, we don't need it there, we should be 232 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: spending more money here and then pressuring on those subjects. 233 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: And then there are Republicans who don't understand that your 234 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: job is not to spend our money on things that 235 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: aren't necessary to spend their money on. Stop doing it, 236 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: Stop being someone who spends our money on nonsense, and 237 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: stop saying, well, the Democrats have a point. They don't. 238 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: They want to spend our money on nonsense. And you're 239 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: the one standing in the gap yelling stop. And so 240 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: the recision bills absolutely matter. And from Urkowski, not under 241 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: to not understand that is exactly why people voted for 242 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They're sick and tired of the wishy, washy, 243 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: the mealy mouth nature of this. My god, you ain't 244 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: tough at all, no tough in you, ain't no dog 245 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: in the fight, ain't no fighting the dog. You've got nothing. 246 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: We're tired of the weakness. Democrats are fully aware because 247 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: they ain't weak, they will stick to it. It's Republicans 248 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: they expect to back down, to equivocate, to shake in 249 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: their boots, to wet themselves and hide in the corner 250 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: and say please, don't hurt me. And that's changed, and 251 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: that's good. And on this fight, I gotta imagine Democrats 252 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: are saying, three weeks, we're into the third week. We 253 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: don't need this because right now it doesn't look like 254 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: they can win it. As long as the Murkowskis of 255 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: the world are kept at bay. And as long as 256 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: the reminder of they voted for this stuff. Now they 257 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: want to change who they are and what they said 258 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: and what they believe. And we're going to have a 259 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: clean resolution and then we can discuss it. They got 260 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: to vote for this. They have to vote for this. 261 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: They're shutting down the government. They have to vote to 262 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: open the government. We're not going to give them a filibuster, 263 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: a situation where we just get rid of the philibuster 264 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: and get rid of the sixty vote threshold. They have 265 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: to come to the table. They have to be the 266 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: ones who say, okay, we give They started this fight, 267 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: we're ending this fight, and we the Republicans, are not 268 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: going to give an inch. And you say in people's 269 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: lives get impacted, and I say to you, it's government. 270 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: It's our government. Lives are always impacted when they spend 271 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: the extra ten billion dollars. My life, your life, and 272 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: the life of our kids and grandkids we don't even 273 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: have yet is impacted. Why do we always forget that part. 274 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: I don't think we should forget that part at all. 275 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: I think that should be a front and center conversation. 276 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: Democrats can't think the shutdown's working for them. They can't 277 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: think there's an upper hand here. But they've always believed 278 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: that it'll work out their way because it always has, 279 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't they. So they have to be proven wrong. 280 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: And maybe Speaker Johnson is right, this is going to 281 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: last a long long time. I hope he's wrong. I'm 282 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz today. 283 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 5: But I think the finding in the district Court's mind 284 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 5: in that case was that the likelihood of a Section 285 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 5: two violation meant that a majority black district was required 286 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 5: a second one. 287 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: And I think like that was the bottom line. 288 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 5: And when our legislature saw that, we understood the marching order, 289 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 5: and that's why you see SBA as it exists today. 290 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: Just briefly, what were the findings that led to that conclusion? 291 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 5: Well, your honor, running through the preconditions and the totality 292 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 5: of the circumstances. I mean, I think the totality of 293 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 5: the circumstances did most of the work for the middle district. 294 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 5: In Robinson Senate Factor one, the Official History of Past Discrimination, 295 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 5: Justice Thomas, we can never outrun the bad era of 296 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 5: poll taxes, of grandfather clauses of literacy tests. I think 297 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 5: we're always going to lose across the board on that 298 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 5: kind of analysis. And that's what the Middle District in 299 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 5: Robinson focused on, is how bad was Louisiana in the 300 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 5: nineteen thirties, forties, fifties, sixties. And you know, add all 301 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 5: that together and at the end you have a vote 302 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 5: dilution finding that I don't think is clearly articulable in 303 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 5: the way that SFFA requires a finding of discrimination to 304 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 5: be specified. 305 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: I do love it when smart people are talking about 306 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: smart things. And anytime a Justice Clarence Thomas is speaking 307 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: in a case in front of the Supreme Court, it's fascinating. 308 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't ask many questions, accounts Tony Katz today, Good 309 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: to be with you. Justice Thomas didn't really ask many 310 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: questions at all until after the death of Justice Antonin 311 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Scalia and he got a little more active in the 312 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: asking questions business. But this is a case about Louisiana 313 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: and whether a second majority black congressional district violates the 314 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: fourteenth or fifteenth Amendment. This is fascinating stuff and the 315 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: ramifications are huge. I'll let you know how this plays 316 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: out by sharing with you the Associated Press headline, Supreme 317 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: Court takes up Republican attack on Voting Rights Act in 318 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: case over black representation tells you everything you need to know. 319 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: Tells you everything you need to know. Race based re 320 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: districting is fundamentally contrary to or constitution. That according to 321 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: the Louisiana Attorney General, writing in the Supreme Court filing, 322 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: and this is the conversation. This is the same court 323 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: that ended affirmative action college admissions. And it could be 324 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: something that they are very much inclined to say, Yeah, 325 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: we don't do that here. We're not interested in this here. 326 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: And this might be a place where Chief Justice John Roberts, 327 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: who depending on the source, this has been something he's 328 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: been kind of after since his days in the Justice 329 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: Department in the Reagan days. So we might see something 330 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: very very interesting.

Always greatly appreciate that every 343 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: step of the way. Never mind the shutdown, as we've 344 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 1: already been discussing it, there are some other stories out there. 345 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: We have been certainly dominated by the shutdown story, by 346 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: the hostage situation in Israel. They were turning the hostages, 347 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: and of course Hamas is Hamas, these are terrorists. Did 348 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: anybody think they were going to live up to their word? 349 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: Did anybody think they were trustworthy? You would have to 350 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: be a college professor or Rashida to leave to think us, 351 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: and they do. They think Israel is the issue, and 352 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 1: ask yourself, what side do you want to be on 353 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: the side of rational thought or the side of Rasheita 354 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: Sleib and the rest is history. But there are some 355 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: other stories. In one of these stories is something we 356 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: brought up yesterday where the data is showing that the 357 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: trans hysteria in the United States is on the downslide. 358 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: And thank goodness, this abuse of children hopefully disappearing from 359 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: our lives. Boys can be girls and girls can be boys. 360 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: Abuse beginning to end, NonStop, no question, unquestionable abuse, gender 361 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: firming care, code for abuse, cover for abuse. Doctors who 362 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: believe in gender firm and care take away their medical license. 363 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: There's no place for them in civil society none. And 364 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: what we're seeing from the data is that college age students, 365 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: for example, trending downward from that height of twenty twenty 366 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: three playing in this gender dysphoria game because they never 367 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: actually had gender dysphoria. They were sad, they were depressed. 368 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: They were looking for something that would relieve the situation, 369 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: give them a reprieve, give them an out, make them 370 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: feel better. And they were like, Okay, well this is it, 371 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: this is what they're telling me, this must be it. 372 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: And this was never, ever, ever it. Mutilating yourself was 373 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: not going to make you feel better. And I'm glad 374 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: to see this reduction as per the data. But this 375 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: brings us to the story of a federal judge and 376 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: a case about trans athletes. The story is reported by 377 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: Fox News. An Idaho transathlete tried to have a Scotus 378 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: case dropped a federal judge. A judge striking down the attempt. 379 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: So the judge's name is David Nye, Trump appointee in 380 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. This judge rejects the case or the push 381 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: from a guy by the name of Lindsay Hecox. He's 382 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: trying to dismiss the case even though the Supreme Court 383 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: agreed to hear the case. It was filed by Hecocks 384 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: h Cox in twenty twenty when he wanted to join 385 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: the women's cross country team at Boise State. The state's 386 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: law to prevent trans athletes was there, and he wanted 387 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: to have that blocked. He was joined by an anonymous 388 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: biological female student by the name of Jane Doe. Right. 389 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: Anonymous Jane Doe concerned about the potential being subjected to 390 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: the sex dispute verification process. Right, how do you prove 391 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: a boys a boy? How do you prove a girl 392 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: as a girl, man as a man, and woman as 393 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: a woman? Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an injunction blocking 394 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: the state launch twenty twenty three before the Supreme Court 395 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: agreed to hear the case. Heckcocks, I think that's how 396 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: you pronounce it. Ask Cotis to drop the challenge, claiming 397 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: the athlete has therefore decided to permanently withdraw and refrain 398 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: from playing any women's sports at BSU Boise State or 399 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: in Idaho. The defense team, which is led by the 400 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: Attorney General L. Labrador and the Alliance Defending Freedom, pushed 401 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: back at the attempt to end the battle before it 402 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: reached the Supreme Court because the dismissal violated the agreed 403 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: upon stay. Now, if I understand this properly, what they're 404 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: saying is this guy who claims to be a girl, 405 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: who wants boys to be able to compete in girls sports, 406 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: men and women's sports, is trying to have a case 407 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: removed from the Supreme Court docket because it might not 408 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: go his way and might be very detrimental for the 409 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: quote unquote trans movement. Supreme Court has to rule them 410 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: whether or not the case is moot because this guy 411 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: has now said I won't participate in any women's sports. 412 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: But what they're saying is is that this ruling now 413 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: from this District judge is a good sign that the 414 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: case will go forward, because if it goes forward, it's 415 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: a Supreme Court stating that, yes, indeed, you can ban 416 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: this one from that and that one from this West 417 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: Virginia talking about the Save Women's Sports Act. In twenty 418 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: twenty one, they're appealing a lower court ruling that allowed 419 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: a transgender athlete to compete on the school's cross country 420 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: and track teams. This guy qualified for the West Virginia 421 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: Girls High School state track meet, finishing third in the 422 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: discus throw at eighth in the shot put. The Fourth 423 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: Circuit ruled in favor of this guy who've been taking 424 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: puberty blocker medication, and in an April twenty twenty four 425 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: ruling based on the Equal Protection Clause. I think that's 426 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: a massive misreading. But take the top line from this story, right. 427 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: This is happening in other places, in other ways. They 428 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: think they're going to lose. This guy thinks he's going 429 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: to lose, and the trans movement can't afford the loss. 430 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: But they need to take the loss. They need to 431 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: be told not only what we know to be true, 432 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: that men are not women, and women are not men, 433 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: boys are not girls, and girls are not boys. Not 434 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: only do they need to be told, no girl will 435 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: ever be a boy, and no boy will ever be 436 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: a girl. No one's trying to be mean, no one's 437 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: trying to be rude. These are just the facts, and 438 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: you cannot escape them. Now, how do you deal with them? 439 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: If you have gender dysphoria or another mental issue, that's 440 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: something that we should be loving and caring about and 441 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: helping people do. But we never have to pervert reality 442 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: to satisfy somebody else's mental illness. And if we do, 443 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: and if we favor the people who do, and if 444 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: we vote for the people who do, we won't have 445 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: a society. That's what makes us so important. We cannot 446 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: for a second allow others, through fear or intimidation or violence, 447 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: keep us from recognizing the world around us. What is true, 448 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: what is fact, and what is fiction. They try to 449 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: tell you that trans men are men, but I know 450 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: they are not men because you put the word trans 451 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: in front of it. They tried to tell you that 452 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: trans women are women. Same rules apply. And when they 453 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: were asked, what is a woman? And they all responded 454 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:09,479 Speaker 1: with the same level of nonsense, ridiculous, shameful, embarrassing answer, 455 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: as if somehow this was in any way an argument. 456 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: You ask them what is a woman? And they all 457 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: said like they didn't know, and Katanji Brown Jackson, the 458 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice, said, I don't know. I'm not a biologist, disqualifying, 459 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: and I look forward to her being impeached because she 460 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 1: has no business on the court. I disagree with Sonya 461 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: Soto Mayor vehemently, and I argue that she does not 462 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: vote or adjudicate as much as she does vote what 463 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: is the leftist position, That's what I do. But even 464 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: she has had enough of Kaitanji Brown Jackson's nonsense and 465 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: complete disregard and disrespect for the court itself, which she 466 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: has no respect. Dear Lourie, if you go through her 467 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: commentaries and her questions to the Solsteners General and others. 468 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: What I don't understand here is what I'm trying to 469 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: understand here is help me understand. It's always that line, 470 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: always that statement, that crutch that she uses, and you 471 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: start to understand that she's not utilizing a line, she's 472 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: not utilizing a phrase as a crutch. She really doesn't understand. 473 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: She might know more about the law than I do. 474 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: But does she know about the law the way a 475 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice should know. She does not. It's obvious. 476 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: And for recognizing that, I can at least engage a 477 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: level of respect with Sonya Sotomayor, even though I think 478 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: that she has come out with some thic decisions and 479 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: some just downright ugly descents. I'll say it again. I 480 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: think the court wants to see Katanji Brown Jackson gone. 481 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: I think they recognize how bad this is, how problematic 482 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: this is. And going back to you know, as we 483 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: talk about Republicans and caving and acquiescing, shame on them 484 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: for allowing her through. The answer should have been is 485 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: we don't care. She's a black woman. She can't do it. 486 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: Oh do you call us racist? She can't define what 487 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: a woman is. Screw that. That should have been the answer, 488 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: which involves strength and vigor and a spine and you know, uh, 489 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, was it tightening the sinews right once more 490 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: into the breach, dear friends, once more, That's what we're 491 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: looking at here. You need more of that. But every 492 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: time we see one more step in the direction of 493 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: saving children from abuse, of the recognition of the real world, 494 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: we're in a better and better and better place. And 495 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: for the record, I am glad that the side of 496 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: quote unquote gender affirming care is losing. They should lose. 497 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: I am not in favor of people who are confused 498 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: getting any abuse. I'm not in favor of those people 499 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: being vilified. I have no anger with somebody who's having 500 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: this mental issue. I only want to get them the 501 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: help that they rightfully deserve. As an American, as a 502 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: human being, I want them to get help. I don't 503 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: want to confuse them. I don't want to buy into 504 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: the lie, don't want to help them spread lies. Who 505 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: would And the answer is progressives that buy into this lie, 506 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: that push kids into this lie, that try and build 507 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: around this lie. They are really They're awful, awful, awful people. 508 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: And the tougher it is for them to abuse children 509 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: and hurt children, the better. So hopefully this leads to 510 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: a case where Scotis says boys are not girls and 511 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: girls are not boys. What are we all nuts? Anything 512 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: that gets us closer to that good And yes, I 513 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: understand the grossness of this. All that in a world 514 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: where you need the Supreme Court to state that men 515 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: are not women and women are not men in any 516 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: place like in the UK. They actually had to define 517 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: what a woman is. That's so gross. That is such 518 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: an awful step for society and admittedly for women, that's 519 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: gotta be humiliating. You needed to be defined because these 520 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: progressives are trying to erase you. Dang that. I have 521 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: not lost sight of that, guys at all. I'm Tony Katz. 522 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today. So Boston sees itself as 523 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: a sanctuary city. Donald Trump is not interested in anybody 524 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: who sees themselves as a sanctuary city. And now Trump 525 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: is saying, because the World Cup is coming to the US, 526 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: if you don't get your act together, I'm gonna pull 527 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: the World Cup games from Boston. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, 528 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: so good to be with you. I don't even know 529 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: if he could do that. But this was the Q 530 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: and A in the in the briefing I shouldn't say 531 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: the briefing and the questions the president took yesterday. And 532 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: then they have a World Cup, they have several World 533 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: Cup games. 534 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 5: I know Argentina knows about World Cups. 535 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: They have several World Cup games. Could those games moved 536 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: to cities the duper but good we need to take 537 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: them away. 538 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 4: I love the people of bus and I know the 539 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 4: games are so but your mayor is not good. They're 540 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 4: worse than her. At least she's intelligent. Some are extremely 541 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 4: low IQ does bother me more. She's intelligent, but she's 542 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 4: radical left and they're taking over parts of Boston. 543 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: That's a pretty big statement, right. We could get them 544 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: back in about two seconds. Well, she has to do 545 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: his call us. We'll go in and take them back. 546 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: But she's afraid because she thinks just bad politically. She 547 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: could take them back to the Boston Police agreed. I mean, 548 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: I know they love me. 549 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,959 Speaker 4: She'll never tell them to go after Trump because they. 550 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: Love me and I love them, and I have no 551 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: doubt that they love you. But I think the real 552 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: question here is is this about sanctuary city or is 553 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: this about just crime in Boston in general? I mean 554 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: a threat to take away these games, that's rundous amount 555 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: of money lost to the city. Nobody, nobody would want that. 556 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: We should also be clear that Michelle wou the mayor 557 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: of Boston, is a very unserious person. Are a radical 558 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: leftist and if this is what Boston wants, I say, 559 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: let Boston deal with it. Let Boston suffer. But the 560 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: problem is is that you can say this's about a 561 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: lot of cities, and you live in some of those 562 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: cities and that's not you, and you're like, why do 563 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: I have to suffer? Because these people that's where all this, 564 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: that's where all of it comes from. We gotta go help, 565 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: we gotta go help. You know, some people have to 566 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: learn to help themselves. Do I argue against what was 567 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: done in DC? I don't do. I argue that cities 568 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: that want your help you should go help. I do. 569 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: Cities that don't want your help and want to feel 570 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: the pain, they feel the pain. Isn't that the way 571 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: it's supposed to go. The citizens have to learn to 572 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: vote better, to do better for themselves, is it? Shouldn't 573 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: that be the lesson? Seems to me like that should 574 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: be the lesson. Find everything at Tony Katz dot com. 575 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: I will catch you tomorrow.
