1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Why from ball hartbind and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 2: So the President takes to the microphone inside the White House, 4 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: the Christmas decorations behind him. He's feeling all sorts of 5 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: ho jolly, and he says, listen, this economy is awesome. 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: I'm doing great work. All these things are gonna worked out. 7 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: You don't worry about a thing. Kittens, Daddy's got the wheel. 8 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: Good night. Oh you only think true about that. It 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: was the very loud voice. He was very loud. He 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: was very very loud. I don't think it was his 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: best speech in terms of the presentation, but I think 12 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: the presidents of the United States showed that he's listening 13 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: to this show. We know that Scott Bessett wasn't pleased 14 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: with me. I'm telling you that they're paying attention to 15 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: the idea that they must get the message out. They 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: have to get the message out to the people. And 17 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 2: the message is a lot is happening, A lot's coming 18 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: down the pike. And I mean, here, take a look 19 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: at what's going on with CPI. Bring the CPI. Oh, 20 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 2: maybe coming in a little bit. 21 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 3: Better than expecting two point seven percent, a little light here. 22 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: I'm not calling I'm just reading the headlines here. Year 23 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 3: over year two seven core two six, So four tenths off. 24 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: That is a very good number here, and it really 25 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: I have not looked at the internals. I look at 26 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: them now, but it suggests that the internals are good 27 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: as well. 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: Two point seven when the estimate on the super Price 29 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: Index was three point one. That would tell you inflation 30 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: is down. But as doctor Mattwell, economists at the University 31 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: of Indianapolis will explain, yeah, you could take this whole 32 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: thing and throw it in the trash. Did I say hello, 33 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz to show us Tony Kats today. You 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: can find us on YouTube live streaming Tony Katz would 35 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: be sure to do that YouTube dot com slash Tony 36 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: Katz or on the Twitter x at Tony Kat's Facebook 37 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 2: Tony Kats Radio. Doesn't matter though White House is gonna say, 38 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: see cut interest rates and inflation still going down. We're 39 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: doing a great job. The President does have a lot 40 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: he can cheer. He does, and to say otherwise is 41 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 2: just certifiably dumb. They've done a very bad job of messaging. 42 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: And so what did we say on this show? What 43 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: have we been saying on this show. We've been saying, 44 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: you gotta get out there and lead the charge. This 45 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: has been my issue with Scott Besson. He's the adult 46 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: in the room. No one can do it better than him. 47 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: And I said the words. I said it to Sean Spicer. 48 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: We found out that Scott Besson heard about it was 49 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: nothing too pleased. And then it got brought up by 50 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: Steve and he's sharing the clip of me talking about it. 51 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: And then he was the one who referred to me 52 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: as a stock Republican, which still is the nastiest thing 53 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 2: anybody has ever said about me ever in the history. 54 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,559 Speaker 4: So rude, so rude. 55 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: Steve, Oh my gosh. But I at least take comfort 56 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: in knowing that I was right, and you are a sycophant. 57 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: Stop being a sickaphan. Be right. It's so much better 58 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 2: what with the being right and all. I was absolutely right. 59 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: You have to message this story. You have to sell 60 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: your story. You have to explain your story. And that's 61 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: what the White House is doing. That's what they're doing. 62 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: That's what President Trump was doing when he took to 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: the microphone when he said, listen, next spring, everything is 64 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: scheduled to be super awesome, hunky dory. You're gonna absolutely 65 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 2: love what's. 66 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 5: Going on right here here, you will asso see the 67 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 5: results of the largest tax cuts in American history that 68 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 5: were really accomplished through our great, big, beautiful bill, perhaps 69 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 5: the most sweeping legislation ever passed in Congress. 70 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 6: We wrapped twelve different bills up into one beautiful bill 71 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 6: that includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, 72 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 6: and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. 73 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: Under these cuts, many families. 74 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 6: Will be saving between eleven thousand and twenty thousand dollars 75 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 6: a year, and next spring is projected to be the 76 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 6: largest tax refund season. 77 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 7: Of all time. 78 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: Scott Bessett started saying that a couple of weeks ago, 79 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: that is a part of the message. Part of the 80 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 2: message is listen, we know we've done these tires and 81 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: we know you've paid more, but here's how it's working, 82 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: and here are the deals. And once those deals lead 83 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: to dollars being invested in, not just talked about actual 84 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: shovels hitting the ground because of growth, because of increases 85 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: in construction, because they're building new plants, watch the boom. 86 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: I have put a date to this which is July first, 87 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: right at the start of the third quarter. Now, one 88 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: could argue that you don't get this information until you 89 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: know till sometime in July and you get second quarter data. 90 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: But my point, I think my argument is still clear. 91 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: The White House has six months to engage, six months 92 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 2: to discuss, six months to be able to sell their 93 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: story versus the Democrat story of doom and gloom, and 94 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: they have to be able to prove it in great measure. 95 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: There are places in the story that Trump and the 96 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: team are going to be able to sell. I'll sell 97 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: it all day long. The border is safe and secure. 98 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: My kids have a better chance at a safer future 99 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: because Donald Trump is in office, because Joe Biden Kamala 100 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: Harris were kept out of office. Fact fact, airlines are 101 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 2: working at better efficiency because Sean Duffy is the Transportation 102 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 2: Secretary and Pete Buddha Judge is nowhere around planes. Never 103 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: mind Chuochu trains. The war on drugs has gone from 104 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: an actual bit of sloganeering to an actual bit of 105 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: doing by declaring fentanyl weapon of mass destruction and stopping 106 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 2: its import into the United States, whether that be vis 107 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: A VI going after venezuel when drug boats or telling 108 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: China those days are over. Advantage Trump, These are sellable, 109 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: sellable things right now. Oil prices on both the West 110 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: Texas crewed right. So this is the barrel price West 111 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: Texas coming in on the ground, Brent T. Brick crew 112 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: coming out of the oceans. As of this morning, we're 113 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: both under sixty dollars. A barrel and ounce of silver 114 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: costs more than a barrel of oil. Which tells you 115 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: that some people are still conplation, doesn't it. And they are, 116 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: which should be clear about that. He's got to continue 117 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: to beat that down, continue to move that down. Certainly, 118 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: tariffs don't help, and the spending doesn't help. He now 119 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: he's talking about the Warrior dividend. I'm sorry, did he 120 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: just say Warrior dividend? The Warrior dividend, says President Trump. 121 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: And you say to me, Tony, listen, I know that 122 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: you often talk about things and you get things before 123 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: we do. But can anybody explain what the heck you're 124 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: talking about here with the Warrior divinend? Well, it's very simple. 125 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: You serve in the military, you are gonna get yourself 126 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: a very very large check. How large of a check? Well, 127 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: how about seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars worth? 128 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 6: Along with the just past one big beautiful bill tonight, 129 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 6: I am also proud to announce that more than one thousand, 130 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 6: four hundred. 131 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: And fifty thousand Think of this, one. 132 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 6: Million, four hundred and fifty thousand military service members will 133 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 6: receive a special we call warrior dividend before Christmas. A 134 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 6: warrior dividend in honor of our nations founding in seventeen 135 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 6: seventy six, we are sending every soldier one thousand, seven 136 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,599 Speaker 6: hundred and seventy six dollars. 137 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: Think of that, and the checks are already on the way. 138 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 6: Nobody understood that one until about thirty minutes ago. 139 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: Well is that when you thought of it decided to 140 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 2: put in the speech. I don't mind members of the 141 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: military getting a bonus. I'd like to know what the 142 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: structure is for getting the bonus. Where does the money 143 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: come from? Does it come from the tariff money. I 144 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 2: was told that the tariff money was going to pay 145 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: down debt. Then you told me the tariff money was 146 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: going to go to help farmers. Now the tariff money 147 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: is going to soldiers. What's the matter, Tony you don't 148 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: like farmers, you don't like soldiers. Huh huh. I don't 149 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: like the tariffs because I'm paying more, and now the 150 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: president is utilizing it as a personalized slush fund for 151 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: specific interest groups, which if a Democrat was doing, everybody 152 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: on the right would be out of their minds. Don't 153 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 2: get angry at me for noticing. Don't get angry at 154 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: me for doing the thing called consistency. But I started 155 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: with where I started. I have absolutely no idea if 156 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: there's a system for them to get bonuses like it 157 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: might exist, and I don't know it. It's possible. I 158 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 2: don't know something. I know other radio hosts don't announced 159 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: those kinds of things. But hey, that's their problem. There's 160 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: a system. There's a system also. Seventeen hundred and seventy 161 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: six dollars. That's a that's a little cute. That's a 162 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: little cute. Why not fifteen hundred, why not two thousand? 163 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: Why not fourteen million dollars a piece? Seventeen hundred and 164 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: seventy six dollars? It's too cute by half, too cute 165 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: by half. But I'm not gonna get upset with soldiers 166 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: getting a bonus. I just know what people are gonna 167 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 2: say about it. So you're giving soldiers a bonus. That's 168 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 2: a way of buying votes, like paying off student loans. Well, 169 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: as long as we're now admitting that paying off the 170 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: student loans that Joe Biden was doing was clearly a 171 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: way of buying votes, overall, I would have changed the 172 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: tone of the speech. And certainly one could argue, certainly 173 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: one can argue that this was a weird reason to 174 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: have a primetime address. But those weird reasons are going 175 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: to fall away and people won't remember that. What happened 176 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 2: here was the President started sounded the starting gun on 177 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: Here's how we're going to talk. Here's how we're going 178 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: to talk about winning the midterms. We're going to discuss 179 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: this economic success. We're going to discuss energy price success 180 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: and bringing their gas prices. We're going to discuss all 181 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: the money we've taken in with investments. We're going to 182 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: discuss where these investments are going. We're going to talk 183 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: about how it benefits people all across the country. We're 184 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 2: going to talk about what we've done here and there 185 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: and actually get into talk results because we're not gonna 186 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 2: let Democrats run the table with this conversation about affordability 187 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: when all they do is complain and their answer is 188 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 2: free crap. Their answer to affordability is government run convenience 189 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: stores and grocery stores and rent control. What kind of 190 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: child is gonna fall for this? Oh, the kind of 191 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: childhoodes of Columbia or Berkeley. Yeah, yeah, okay, don't send 192 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: your kids to Columbia or Berkeley. This is finally the 193 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: right messing. No, not perfect. I think there's still some 194 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: coordination to do here. But part of the problem has 195 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 2: been that the people, whether it be in the administration 196 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: or people out there in radio land, people out there 197 00:12:53,320 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: in influencer lands, they haven't had a direction to send 198 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: this story into. And now what Trump has done, which 199 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 2: is part of what leadership does, is that this is 200 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: the direction, this is the course, this is it, this 201 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 2: is the way. Now everybody knows what it is we're 202 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: talking about. Now, everybody knows what it is that we're 203 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 2: going to be doing. And he needed to do that. 204 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: So to that end an outrageous success. But I say 205 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: July first, he has to be able to sell an 206 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: economic vision and an economic story that gets Americans excited again, 207 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: because I absolutely believe that no matter what's going on 208 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 2: or going wrong, or people feel the costs are too 209 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: high and the pressure is too high, they absolutely believe, 210 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: deep in the recesses that they're better off with Trump. 211 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 2: They're moving the levers than Bider Harris because they couldn't, 212 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: and they wouldn't, and they wouldn't know how, and they'd 213 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 2: make things worse. This is a party that favors rent control. 214 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 2: What the hell do they know? They're a party of 215 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders. You think they know anything about economics. The 216 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: only thing Bernie Sanders knows how to do is make 217 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: millions of dollars for himself while stealing your money and 218 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 2: having his wife bankrupty college. And that's it. He also 219 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 2: knows where to get a very good deal on the mittens. 220 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 2: That's all he's got, which is really weird because when 221 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: you're wearing mittens, it's harder to reach into somebody else's 222 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: pocket and take take the because you got the mitten. 223 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: He kind of like lobstering it and you can't. It's 224 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: hard to grab more with the fingers, use that posable thumb. 225 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: You can really dig in and get all the cash 226 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: right out. He's got till July first. He's got to 227 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: July first to make this message work. And now people 228 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: know how to go make the message. It's came on people. 229 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: Let's see where it goes from here. I'm Tony Katz 230 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: and this is Tony Katz today. Another terrorist attack in Sydney, 231 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: Australia means what's thwarted? What you had was the authorities 232 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: there recognizing that there was a plan to do a 233 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: call it a double tap, a second hit on Bandai Beach, 234 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, good to be with you. 235 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: Find everything over at Tony katz dot com. There was 236 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: a an effort to engage a second hit. They were 237 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 2: stopped by authorities. This happening in an area called Liverpool. Yes, 238 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: it is indeed the same Liverpool. Not well it's not. 239 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: It's not the Beatles Liverpool that would be in England, 240 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 2: but the same name. Tactical Operations Unit conducting the operation 241 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: in the Southwest Sydney suburb of Liverpool. And they had 242 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: to ram a car to stop. The car pulled out 243 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: seven men, all of whom are well, yeah, we'll find out. 244 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: I mean I can go buy facial features. I can 245 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: go buy a series of things just like the two 246 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: murderers there in Bandai Beach Islamists. We're gonna find out. 247 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: I'll wait for information. They're trying to keep this on 248 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: the very hush hush they really are. Maybe it's because 249 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: they've got themselves a prime minister that has no actual 250 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: interest in keeping people safe, no actual interest in the 251 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 2: people themselves. Rather, in Australia you have a Prime Minister 252 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: Anthony Albanez who does. 253 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 8: Today, I'm announcing a significant number of additional actions to 254 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 8: build on the plan. Firstly, the Attorney General and Minister 255 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 8: for Home Affairs will develop a package of legislative reforms 256 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 8: to crack down on those who spread hate, division and radicalization. 257 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 8: The National Security Committee has agreed that changes will include 258 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 8: the following five points. Agreed changes will include one aggravated 259 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 8: hate speech offense for preachers and leaders who promote violence. Secondly, 260 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 8: increase penalties for hate speech promoting violence. Thirdly, making hate 261 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 8: an aggravating factor in centence in crimes for online threats 262 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 8: and harassment. Fourthly, developing a regime for listing organizations whose 263 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 8: leaders engage in hate speech, promoting violence or racial hatred. 264 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 8: And fifthly, developing a narrow federal offense for serious vilification 265 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 8: based on race and or advocationating racial supremacy. 266 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 2: Or you could just remove the Islamis from your country. 267 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: Let means it's it's a theory. But now now I 268 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: want to see them go into the mosque and say, you, e, mom, 269 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: are engaged in hate speech when you say the Quran 270 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: says that everyone must be a believer or be killed. 271 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 2: I want to see what happens. 272 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 8: The ministry of Behemoth is we'll also have new paths 273 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 8: to cancel and reject visis for those who spread heightened 274 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 8: division in this country or would do so if they 275 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 8: were allowed to come here. 276 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: The key is, don't allow them to come here. He 277 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 2: then wanted to go on to say, you know, our 278 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 2: diversity is our strength. No no, no, no no no 279 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 2: no no no no no no no no. Your strength 280 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: is a culture that works and everybody buying into it. 281 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 2: You bring parts of your own world with you, but 282 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 2: you never think that it's more important th where you're at. 283 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: You don't try and take over where you are, and 284 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: yet that's what Islamis do, and that's why Islamis are 285 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 2: incompatible with Western civilization. And that's why you have to 286 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: say no to mass migration. That's it. Now someone's gonna 287 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: call me an islamophobe, and my answer is I don't care. 288 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 2: These are the facts. Maybe if you stopped murdering people, 289 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 2: no one would say this. Maybe if you stop saying 290 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: we want to take over and all your children are 291 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 2: going to be Muslim, things will be better. But we're 292 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 2: gonna notice what the Islamist does, and we should as 293 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 2: a society. This is Tony Kats today. Everything at Brown 294 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 2: University is a cluster, is an absolute disaster. What Brown 295 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: University has shown us with all clarity is that everything 296 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 2: that you se out of DEI is not a bug, 297 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 2: it's a feature. If you put people who are inept 298 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: in positions where the ineptness causes massive ripples, what you 299 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: will get is a Netnis said differently, if you put 300 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 2: people who have no skills in positions where skills are necessary, 301 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: the only thing you'll get as a bad result. If 302 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: the Secret Service is run by somebody who was hired 303 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 2: so they check a box as opposed to having a 304 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: skill set of keeping high profile protectees safe, you will 305 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: fail to put somebody on a roof in a siteline 306 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: of the President of the United States, and he will 307 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: get shot. Just facts. If you take someone who has 308 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 2: absolutely no skill set in dealing with wildfires and you 309 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: put them in charge of emergency response in Lahina, when 310 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: the fire happens, the sirens will not go off, the 311 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 2: roads will be blocked, and people will die. That's what happened. 312 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: When you hire in a fire department, not to ensure 313 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: that the leadership knows how to fight fires and the 314 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: reservoirs are filled, but rather you hire to show that 315 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 2: you have lesbians in the highest positions possible. Not lesbians 316 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 2: who know how to fight fires, just lesbians. You will 317 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: watch the palisades burn. And of course when you elect 318 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 2: straight white liberal men into positions like governor and black, 319 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: straight women like Karen Bass into positions like mayor. By 320 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 2: the way, I believe Karen Bass is heterosexual. I didn't 321 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: want to get that wrong. In either case, you won't 322 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 2: be able to rebuild because their ideology, regardless of their 323 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: sexuality or any other characteristic, says we don't rebuild. These 324 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 2: areas still have not rebuilt because they don't want to. 325 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: They want to steal the land. They are incompetent people. 326 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: When you hire for a characteristic and you do not 327 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 2: hire for a skill set. When you do not hire 328 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: people who know what they are doing, this is what 329 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: you get. You get incompetence. It is not a bug, 330 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 2: it is a feature. And at Brown University, the president, 331 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 2: the provost, the police chief, never mind the at least 332 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 2: chief of Providence, Rhode Island, never mind the whole of 333 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: Rhode Island. You get incompetence. Who killed these people? That's 334 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 2: the question. Who walked into Brown University? Who killed Ella Cook? 335 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 2: Who killed Mamozokoff? Mukamt is his name. Somebody alleged that 336 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 2: I wasn't paying attention. I was only paying attention to 337 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 2: Ella Cook. Why wasn't I paying attention to Hermazokoff? Hm 338 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: Ella Cook seems to be the target here. Someone came 339 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 2: in to kill this girl. That from the disjointed reporting. 340 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 2: But to a point, I want to know who killed 341 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: these people? Why don't we have answers? Why don't we 342 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: have answer? Why is it that every time they are 343 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: asked they sound so incompetent. The question is asked to 344 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: the Providence police chief, and you know what he says 345 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 2: about investigations and looking into who has done this and 346 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 2: taking a look at the witnesses. Oh oh, we're supposed 347 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 2: to interview the witnesses. The guy come in from the back, 348 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 2: so these people never. 349 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 4: Knew it was coming. 350 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 2: Check out this answer coming from the Providence Police part 351 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: of the interviews. And actually we're cooperating with Brown to 352 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 2: get the roster. That was a study hole, so we 353 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 2: don't have the number. 354 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 6: We're still getting information as far as school was the 355 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 6: I know Brown sent out an email to the students 356 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 6: to notify us if they were president. 357 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 2: And we're still getting this. Why I can't give you 358 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 2: a new sacked accountant that is the chief of Police Providence, 359 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: Rhode Island, saying that five days after the murder of 360 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 2: two people, they have not yet interviewed those in the 361 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: classroom to get first hand accounts of what happened, witness 362 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 2: testimony and possibly descriptions of a suspect ballgame. Why is 363 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: it that you can't vote for leftists? That's why? What 364 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: level of incompetence is this? The incompetence is so great 365 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: that the media is starting to notice and they're saying, 366 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 2: wait a second. You keep telling us that you've handed 367 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: over all of the video footage, but we were told 368 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: that there was no video footage. 369 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 7: We have twelve hundred cameras located throughout the campus. We 370 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 7: don't publish the locations of the cameras. That would give 371 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 7: a map to somebody to evade detection on the cameras, 372 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 7: so that would be counterproductive to do that. 373 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 2: There are cameras in this building. 374 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 7: And as I answered the previous question, we have turned 375 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 7: over all evidence that we were holding at Brown to 376 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 7: law enforcement and are cooperating fully with them. 377 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: You're seeing that there's a game. We're amazing the cameras 378 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 2: in the building. 379 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 9: I was told. 380 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 2: Yesterday there wasn't cameras in the building. Trade General said 381 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 2: old building, the cameras attached to a new building with cameras. 382 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 7: I believe he said that there were two different phases 383 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 7: of the building that might have two different levels of technology. Again, 384 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 7: all video imagery has been turned over to law enforcement. 385 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense from any bold of course, it 386 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. They don't know what they are doing. 387 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 2: Brown University. Oh, the IVY leagues. Screw the IVY leagues. 388 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 2: There is no mind at the IVY leagues. There is 389 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 2: only a narrative and an accepted premise. You know, all 390 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 2: those conversations the other day while they didn't have the 391 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 2: cameras on or cameras active, because they didn't want to 392 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 2: be seen as targeting, for example, students who are in 393 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 2: support of Palestine, which is to say, students who want 394 00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 2: to kill Jews, and they didn't want to be able 395 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 2: to turn that over to police, so they disconnected the cameras, 396 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 2: turned off the cameras. Oh, they don't want to do that. 397 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: They want to be on the good side. They let 398 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 2: the students run everything, and the adults just show up 399 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 2: they're supposedly called professors, to get a paycheck and not 400 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 2: rock the boat. That's the deal. You let a twenty 401 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 2: year old run a university with an endowment of billions 402 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 2: of dollars. Do you know how absolutely a f do 403 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: you have to be to do that? You have to 404 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: be a progressive to do that. And we are not 405 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 2: done because now you've got reporters saying exactly what I 406 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: just said. You did not have those cameras working on purpose. 407 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 10: They sand city law that we have. 408 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 11: You don't want to eating once and you don't want 409 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 11: to provide their. 410 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 6: Footage immigration on top of plum kama, And now they 411 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 6: come up. 412 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 12: From go to their business. 413 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: They have a friend of mine this investigation. These people are. 414 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 4: The family want to go through. 415 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 2: The We. 416 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 10: We heard from both the Brown Police chief and the 417 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 10: provost to Brown, who have shared that they have been 418 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 10: fully cooperative and shared, UH been forthcoming with all data 419 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 10: and evidence that they have U City of Province's experience 420 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 10: is the same, which is that Brown has been entirely cooperative, 421 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 10: collaborative and fully sharing with us. 422 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 4: We will be back here tomorrow. 423 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 2: End of the press conference. You have a reporter, hispanic 424 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: reporter has reported saying you're not sharing everything. You're flat outline. 425 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: Police are infuriated. They are incompetent. They are incompetent, and 426 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: the reason they are incompetent is because that is what 427 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: is expected of them. They were not expected to have 428 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: a mind. They were not expected to be prepared. You 429 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: see the comments that I get in the chat room, 430 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: for example, is they just don't He's asking do they 431 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 2: have anything? They just don't have anything. Oh, I don't 432 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: believe that to be true. They're not sharing everything. That 433 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 2: seems to be more true. They can't answer a question 434 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 2: about whether cameras are on, cameras are off, Cameras in 435 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: the building, camera's not in the building. No no, no, 436 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: they didn't say this. They meant to say that. They 437 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: said the other thing. The incompetence is a feature, not 438 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 2: a bug. The incompetence is the goal, because the desire 439 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 2: was never student in safety. The desire was to ensure 440 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 2: that illegal aliens are okay. And in order to ensure that, 441 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 2: you can't work with police, you can't work with law enforcement, 442 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 2: you can't provide information. No, no, no, no, no hah. Wait, 443 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: see I thought that person was doing it. Oh, that's 444 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: I thought. I thought that person was doing it. I 445 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: guess the cameras weren't working. Oh, I thought the cameras 446 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: were working. Maybe that was a different system. I'm so confused. 447 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: You know, there's an email about that finding somebody else 448 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: has an email about that. Did those emails ever get answered? 449 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just sent the email. I did 450 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: what I was told. Why would I ever follow up? 451 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: That's not my job. No one takes responsibility. No one 452 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 2: says I've got this, because that would be too much 453 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 2: leadership and in these circles, as we saw when elite 454 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 2: Stephonic called up the Harvard University president at the time, 455 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 2: Claudie Gay, and a host of others. Leadership is not 456 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: the goal. Ensuring that progressives can scream how much they 457 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 2: hate Jews seems to be the goal. And supporting those 458 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 2: who want to burn down the American way of life 459 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 2: is the goal. And this is why you don't send 460 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: your kids to these colleges. Anybody who sends their child 461 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 2: to Brown hates their kid. You hate your kid, you 462 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 2: hate your daughter, you hate your son, you hate them. 463 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 2: Of course, there's no other purpose, no all the reason 464 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 2: it's entered to Brown, same thing as truth Berkeley or 465 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 2: Columbia or University of Michigan. That's right, I went after Blue. 466 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 2: That's absolutely the facts. Abusive here, Well, I shouldn't say 467 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: abusive in terms of the system. This is what they do. 468 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 2: Abusive is the wrong word. I think I was going 469 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 2: for another word, and I probably couldn't say on the radio. 470 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: So I'm glad it came out as abusive. This is 471 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: who they are, inept, incompetent and capable, and they want 472 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 2: to be your betters. I am starting to fear we're 473 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 2: not going to find out who did this to Ellacook 474 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 2: and who did this to my comic Omerzokoff, And that 475 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: makes me sick. These people these universities. They provide no value. 476 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 2: Don't give them your money. I'm Tony Katz. It's a 477 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: horrifying story out of North Carolina. Tony Kats Tony Katz today, 478 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 2: good and to be with you. Greg Biffle, former NASCAR driver. 479 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 2: The story right now is that his plane and I 480 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 2: guess he has done a lot of flying, a lot 481 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 2: of helicopter work, a lot of helping other people. There 482 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 2: was a plane crash. It happened mid morning about ten 483 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: twenty am Eastern time at an airport which is forty 484 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: five miles north of Charlotte. It's called States Full Regional Airport. 485 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: Now the way I have it listed, there are confirmed fatalities. 486 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 2: I do not have anything as of yet, although it 487 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 2: may be out there about a confirmation about former NASCAR 488 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 2: driver Greg Biffle. But the plane in question is owned 489 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: by Biffle through GB Aviation Leasing, which lists the same 490 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 2: address as him. Witnesses from a nearby golf club saying 491 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: that the plane was quote way too low before a crash, 492 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 2: considering they probably see planes come in and land and 493 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 2: take off all the time. There was fog in the area. 494 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: As reported, there's an investigation happening don't have data yet. 495 00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 2: I I mean, certainly, it's a question's gonna be asked about, 496 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: you know, flying safety, not safe, I still would assume safe, 497 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 2: and I would not have an issue getting in a 498 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 2: private plane at all.

The bourbon, the food, the everything. 537 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 2: I hope to see you there. In Massachusetts, men charged 538 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 2: with nearly seven million Do I say billion, I meant million. 539 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter in a snap fraud. We're talking about 540 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 2: supplemental nutritional plan there. We're talking about how food stamps 541 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 2: are manipulated. Federal authorities in Massachusetts charging two men with 542 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 2: a fraud seven million dollar food stamp scheme. This is 543 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 2: part of what they say is a Trump administration led 544 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 2: effort to crack down on fraud and government. They operated 545 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 2: some stores in the city which were reimbursed withs not benefits, 546 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 2: far beyond what would be reasonable for their size. One 547 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 2: of the shops redeeming five hundred thousand dollars in a 548 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 2: single month. They were exchanging benefits. Here, you claim this, 549 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 2: and you claim this, and you claim this, and you 550 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 2: claim this, and you claim this and you claim this. 551 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 2: Now I'd like to know more about the men in question. 552 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 2: Here's what I know. Both are Haitian immigrants, one a 553 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 2: US citizen and the other a lawful permanent resident. Okay, well, 554 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 2: the lawful permanent resident has to be deported, but first 555 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 2: jail and a lot of jail, a tremendous amount of jail, 556 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 2: jail for everybody but the one who is a citizen. 557 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 2: They became a citizen, I think that there might be 558 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,240 Speaker 2: a reason to lose your citizenship there if you become 559 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 2: a citizen. What do you do in that situation? How 560 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 2: does one handle that situation? The fraud problem is real, 561 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 2: and we should be clear there are plenty of Americans 562 00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 2: who engage in fraud. That is not the argument. The 563 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,959 Speaker 2: argument that often gets made is, you know you're talking 564 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 2: about people here legally committing crimes. More crimes are committed 565 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 2: by people who are here legally by citizens than by 566 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 2: people who are here by other means. WHOA. You have 567 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 2: more citizens than non citizens, so therefore, as a matter 568 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 2: of percentage, more crimes will be committed by citizens than 569 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 2: non citizens. The argument is you could eliminate one hundred 570 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 2: percent of the crimes by non citizens if you didn't 571 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,720 Speaker 2: allow them in the country. That's mack, I'm happy to help. 572 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 2: You could end this. But the manipulation of government programs, 573 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 2: and when government programs pay out this kind of money, 574 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 2: usually what you hear from the left. Is my gosh, 575 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 2: these programs are so important. We can't cut these. We 576 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 2: have to get more to these programs. We are not 577 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 2: a better nation because we have more people on programs. 578 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 2: That's Bernie Sanders stupid. It's an ignorant, ignorant thing to say. 579 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 2: I often remind people about Bernie and his foolishness, and 580 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 2: what I remind them of is that Bernie Sanders is 581 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 2: the guy who once stated that breadlines are good things. 582 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 2: Now you'd think I'm kidding. This is him in his 583 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 2: younger days, Bernie Sanders. That's funny. 584 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 9: Sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is 585 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 9: because people are lining up food. 586 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 2: That's a good thing. 587 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 4: In other countries, people don't line. 588 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 11: Up for food. 589 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 2: The rich gets the food. In the post soft to death. 590 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 2: If you want to know why I'm not a communist, 591 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 2: there you go. Because only a communist could listen to 592 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 2: that and say that makes sense. Every other rational person says, 593 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 2: that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, until, of course, 594 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 2: the next time Bernie Sanders speaks. I know this upsets progressives, 595 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 2: but Bernie Sanders is a nobody who has never done 596 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 2: a thing. You think Donald Trump has never accomplished anything. 597 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 2: I've heard this before. It's hilarious. Donald Trump allows all 598 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 2: those limousine liberals in Manhattan to exist. His contributions to 599 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 2: that city, to that skyline have brought in billions and 600 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 2: billions of dollars, not only the jobs created, but the 601 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 2: rent rolls created. What did Bernie Sanders create accept debt 602 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 2: and a wake of destruction and a destroyed college by 603 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 2: his wife? Nothing? What is Elano mar created accept incredible 604 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 2: wealth for herself? Lord only knows at the expense of 605 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 2: whom nothing to leave? Nothing? Acossia Cortez nothing, She's gotten, 606 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 2: something accomplished. She got elected to Congress, bartender to congress 607 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 2: man America is a great place? What has she created? 608 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 2: On gas? And she then looks at people who create 609 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 2: and say, how dare you? You should give me more? 610 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 2: And Bernie stands there and says, breadlines good things. These 611 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 2: fraud issues must be dealt with. And I'm thrilled to 612 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 2: see that we're now looking into them because we need 613 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 2: to gonna sit here and somehow accept that this is 614 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 2: just the way it is. How foolish, But foolish is 615 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 2: the name of the game. Just like the people who 616 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 2: look at these kinds of programs and say, see, we 617 00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 2: need to continue to grow these programs. This brings us 618 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 2: to Michelle Obama. I know what you're saying, Tony. Why 619 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 2: why I thought you were our friend. I thought you 620 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 2: loved us. Hey, it's not like I'm talking about Candace Owens. 621 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 2: Oh wait, that's next. This is Candace. Is I talk 622 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 2: about Canadace? Okay, all right, So clearly I'm not a 623 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 2: very nice guy today. This You have got Michelle Obama 624 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 2: on MS now, which I guess people are now calling 625 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 2: MS now. I don't think it's a compliment. And she's 626 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 2: on with Jonathan K Part. Jonathan K Part I was 627 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 2: here with the Washington Post. He left the Washington Post 628 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 2: and they had themselves a sit down. Don't you know? 629 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 2: You write this. When you're a woman in the public eye. 630 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 14: You're often reduced first and foremost of your physical appearance. 631 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 14: You also, right, if someone wants to take something away 632 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 14: from a woman, they will try to rob her of 633 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 14: her femininity, femininity, her beauty. We have current examples of 634 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 14: this right now. 635 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:18,320 Speaker 2: Particularly before that, before all that, right, why does it persist? 636 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 14: What will it take to shame folks into stopping what 637 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 14: you described there. 638 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 12: You know, look, we we have to pick leaders that 639 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 12: don't do that. You know, I look, it is it 640 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 12: is hard to I can't get into the minds of 641 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 12: people who were cool and mean. My empathy in me 642 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 12: says that that comes from a place of brokenness and 643 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 12: insecurity and. 644 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,919 Speaker 11: At a certain stage in life. 645 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 2: It is not fixable. 646 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 12: It is you know, planted in there. 647 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 2: That's exactly how I feel about the editors of Verity Fair. 648 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 2: How is it possible you don't have of Malania Trump 649 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 2: on your cover. That's a real hatred of women right there. 650 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 2: Don't take a look at her as a former model. 651 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 2: Don't take a look at her somebody who understands fashion. 652 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 2: Don't take her as somebody who is first lady and 653 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 2: has her own level of quasi icon status like you, 654 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 2: Michelle Obama, who is not a model and there's nothing 655 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 2: of fashion, but you have a quasi icon status, And 656 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,760 Speaker 2: don't put her on the cover of Vanity Fair because 657 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,840 Speaker 2: of Donald Trump's politics. Maybe there are things worse than 658 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 2: what you're describing, and maybe possibly what you're describing doesn't 659 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 2: actually exist. Now, hold on, do we look at women 660 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 2: as men and say attractive or not attractive here allow me? Yep, 661 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 2: Do I apologize? Nope. I notice when women are attractive. 662 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 2: I notice when they're not a tree active. I notice 663 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 2: when they're tall. I notice when they're short. I notice 664 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 2: when they're fat, I notice when they're thin, and I 665 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 2: notice when they're built just right. I don't apologize for noticing. Oh, 666 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 2: and for the ladies who work out in the gym 667 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 2: with the very low cut tops and the yoga pants 668 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 2: and then scream about why are you all staring at me? 669 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 2: Shut up, and certainly don't take video of yourself while 670 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 2: this happens and then post it and then get angry 671 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 2: that we're looking again. Stop just stop. We get it. 672 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 2: You want to be the center of attention, but you 673 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 2: don't want anybody to look at you weird. The issue 674 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 2: is not whether or not you're attractive. The issue is 675 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 2: whether or not you're competent. If you want to be 676 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 2: a leader, you have to be competent. Iron Rand is 677 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 2: amongst the ugliest people I've ever seen. But Atlas Shrugged 678 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 2: and the Fountain or must read your move this argument. 679 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 2: Someone's trying to take your femininity. What is it that 680 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 2: you're actually looking for? Everything you're telling me that women 681 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 2: are just like men. Women are equal to men, but 682 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 2: you also have to do these things. How about women 683 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 2: and men are different. We should always note it and 684 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 2: notice it, that it's important and it's valuable, and that 685 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 2: while I teach my kids to hold the door open 686 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 2: for people, I always teach my kids to hold the 687 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,359 Speaker 2: door open for a woman because that's just the way 688 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 2: it's done. I'm raising men, not heathens, and you hold 689 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 2: a door open. And when my boys joke with me, 690 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 2: it's a little different than how they're allowed to joke 691 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 2: with their mother. And I have told them so very direct. 692 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 2: There are rules. But the argument is what you're not 693 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 2: allowed to be a leader because someone notices how you look. 694 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 2: This is your conversation. Have it with leftists, not us. 695 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 2: We're not your problem. We're not voting for you anyway. 696 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 2: Your policies are terrible, but your people aren't voting for you. 697 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 2: By the way, your people are liberals. Just can we not? 698 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,239 Speaker 2: Could we please not do that to me? And they're 699 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 2: not voting for you because they have no faith in you. 700 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 2: They don't believe in you, and they don't believe in 701 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,879 Speaker 2: Kamala Harrison. They didn't believe in Hillary Clinton, Maybe it's 702 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 2: your politics. Maybe it's because the people you've put up 703 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 2: to vote for are frauds. Maybe it's because they're unlikable. 704 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 2: Maybe it's all those things. We have to pick leaders 705 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 2: who don't rob women of their femininity. This is the 706 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 2: argument that the left is having. I guess this is 707 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 2: the way you keep suburban white women voting for you. 708 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 2: It's not a conversation in America. It's not a serious one. 709 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 2: You can let somebody else rob you of your femininity 710 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 2: or your masculinity. Weird, not strong, weird? All right? What 711 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 2: happened with Candace Owns and Pierce Morgan. I've got that 712 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,319 Speaker 2: story coming up. This is Tony Kats today. It is 713 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 2: not my fault that I have to talk about Candace Owns. No, no, no, no, 714 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 2: don't don't get angry with me. I'm telling you it 715 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 2: is not my fault that this has to happen, but 716 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:05,720 Speaker 2: indeed will happened. Tony Katz. Yeah, I feel you're paying 717 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 2: Tony Kats today. Good to be with you. She oh 718 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 2: my god. Yeah, you know, her audience is huge. It's shameful, 719 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 2: but it's huge, and a lot of them are unhappy 720 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 2: with her for having this sit down with Erica Kirk 721 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:29,360 Speaker 2: of Turning Point and they're like, oh, you're a fraud 722 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 2: all you sold out. Oh we can't trust you anymore. 723 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 2: And people are like, look at how the look at 724 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,800 Speaker 2: how these people are turning on her. Did anybody notice 725 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 2: that all these people were paying to comment a dollar, 726 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 2: five dollars, twenty dollars, one hundred dollars. They're sending her money, 727 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 2: She's making bank. It's crazy. But she goes on with 728 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 2: Piers Morgan and I'm going to outplay for you the 729 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 2: clip that I think some up the whole thing if 730 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 2: you want to sum up what it is that's going 731 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:14,799 Speaker 2: on with Candace Owns here. I think I got it 732 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 2: all clean, but finger on the dumb button producial end 733 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 2: in just in case, uh, here you go. This appears 734 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,320 Speaker 2: more than uncensored. 735 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 3: And I think we're going to see the same thing 736 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 3: with Bridgie mackerel and you is that he was weaponizing 737 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 3: deliberate lie for money and I think. 738 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 15: You crone has a penis. I really wanted to know that. 739 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 15: Rege Macrons, I'm sorry she has. Did you get it 740 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 15: removed removed? 741 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, you can have adoptive children. 742 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,800 Speaker 15: You can call somebody, but Briget Macrome was born a 743 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 15: dude named Johnny Sheelle Trump. 744 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:53,120 Speaker 2: Now, yeah, am I now a party to a lawsuit 745 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,240 Speaker 2: because I play that? Can I hear from the legal department? 746 00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 2: Please anybody help? That's that's her, that's her, hey man, listen, 747 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 2: whatever that lawsuit is, go enjoy, Go enjoy every single 748 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,760 Speaker 2: bit of that one, and and we'll see what happens. 749 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,240 Speaker 2: But there was a moment in this interview where Candice 750 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 2: Owen says verbatim that Turning Point USA was complicit in 751 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 2: the murder of Charlie Kirk, and then when confronted with 752 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 2: it by Piers Morgan, she says, I never said that. 753 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 2: And there's a really interesting question about whether or not 754 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 2: you want the Candace Owens type in your coalition. A 755 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 2: lot of talk about coalition, right, Trump put together a 756 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,440 Speaker 2: coalition to win the election. We've got to keep the 757 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,800 Speaker 2: coalition together, I ask you right now. I need Candace 758 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 2: Owens in the coalition. Never mind the insanity about Brigitte Macrone, 759 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,240 Speaker 2: who is a weird looking person for sure, and Kandace 760 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 2: is not the first person to make this claim, by 761 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 2: the way. The internet is chuck full of claims. But 762 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 2: she literally said turning point USA was complicit, and in 763 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 2: the same five minutes she goes, I never said that 764 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 2: do we need her in the coalition? Do we need her? 765 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,279 Speaker 2: Do we need the people who follow her? Can we 766 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,480 Speaker 2: win elections without her? Can we win the midterms without her? 767 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 2: Can we win the midterms without Tucker? Can we win 768 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 2: the midterms without the Nick Quintes types? I argue the 769 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 2: answer has to be, well, we have to. We have to. 770 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:21,440 Speaker 2: We have to win without them, and I believe I 771 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 2: can prove how. I also believe I've got an interesting 772 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:30,439 Speaker 2: theory on how to keep some of them. And that's 773 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 2: all part of what I'm doing. January twenty fourth Tickets 774 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 2: at Tony kats dot com.

Marty McCarry is there from the FDA, doctor 787 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 2: Oz who runs Medicare Medicaid services. There is no question 788 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:33,960 Speaker 2: and no doubt that what RFK has done in terms 789 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 2: of mom make America healthy again, that has caught fire. 790 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 2: People are excited about it. Dies out of food, additives 791 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 2: out of food, more honest conversations about autism. And I'm 792 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,279 Speaker 2: not saying that vaccines cause autism. I am saying that 793 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 2: a society that doesn't allow for conversation is a society 794 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 2: that fails and fails all of us in every single 795 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 2: way it does. And is that Chloe Cole I see 796 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 2: so Chloe Cole is an insane story about a young 797 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 2: girl who was allowed to transition to be a boy 798 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 2: and then realized, I'm miserable, this isn't right, this is 799 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 2: a problem. Transition back and and and found a better life. 800 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:29,319 Speaker 2: And I I have interviewed Chloe before and so to 801 00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 2: look in her eyes and the story is horrifying. So 802 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 2: we're gonna hear from her. I absolutely want to hear 803 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 2: it in every single way there is no doubt that 804 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 2: he is winning this and that's why he uh in polling, 805 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 2: is more popular than President Trump and others. It makes 806 00:56:54,239 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 2: perfect sense on every single level that he is and 807 00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 2: so he is is speaking and going to be engaging 808 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 2: with this audience about health care, and I wanted to 809 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:08,799 Speaker 2: bring some of it to you. 810 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 16: JHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health last Mose 811 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 16: confirms that sex rejecting procedures imposed medical dangers and lasting 812 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 16: harm on children who receive these interventions. So today we 813 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 16: are taking six the sisive actions guided by gold standard 814 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 16: science and the week one executive order from President Trump 815 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 16: to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation ex IT. 816 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 16: This morning, I signed a declaration sex rejecting procedures are 817 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 16: neither safe nor effective treatment for children with genderness for him. 818 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 2: Over joy would not be more practical, artist and more 819 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 2: eliar features. Gender for care is not here.

The second rule, for hib is 829 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 16: the federal Medicaid dollars from funding the sex rejecting procedures 830 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 16: on minors. 831 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:41,919 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 832 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 16: The FDA is issuing warning letters to twelve manufacturers of 833 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 16: breast binders, which are medical devices used for purposes such 834 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 16: as assistants and recovery from cancer related to sectomies.

They cannot make these kinds of decisions. They 842 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,200 Speaker 2: can't decide their gender because no one can, and they 843 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,520 Speaker 2: cannot be aided and a bet by adults who want 844 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,800 Speaker 2: to do them hard. We call them child of users, 845 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 2: and we should push back on them with massive force. 846 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 2: And this is good news. This is a society's taking 847 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 2: a stands. We don't do those things here. And the 848 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 2: people who want to do those things, the progressives who 849 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 2: want to do those things, they're wrong and we should 850 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 2: say so.

That's 862 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 2: what a free and thinking people does. If they protect children, 863 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 2: they don't abuse children. No society can be a society 864 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:39,400 Speaker 2: if they abuse children's ability, it cannot be done. This 865 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 2: is excellent, excellent news from the Secretary of Team Admiral. 866 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:47,120 Speaker 16: Brian Christine today signed a public health message go in 867 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 16: form healthcare providers, families, and policymakers that current evidence does 868 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:58,080 Speaker 16: not support claims that puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and 869 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 16: surgeries are safe and effective correct treatments for pediatric genderness 870 01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 16: for you. These and ouncements are grounded in evidence and 871 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:13,320 Speaker 16: shaped by compassion. President Trump has made child protection ain't 872 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 16: national priority. 873 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 2: Make our children. 874 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 16: Healthy against strategy demonstrates that commitment sex rejecting procedures rob 875 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:24,920 Speaker 16: children love their futures. 876 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:31,320 Speaker 2: Anybody who says that hormone therapy right puberty blockers, well 877 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 2: it's reversible. You just tow off them and everything's fine. 878 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,360 Speaker 2: It's not fine. You've already engaged in a rejection of 879 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 2: puberty and the body cannot then catch back up. It's 880 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 2: not how it works. You have altered the body for forever. 881 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 2: It isn't reversible. It is a lie told by liars 882 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 2: that want children to be abused. I don't believe in 883 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,840 Speaker 2: supporting child abuse. I believe in fighting people who abuse 884 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 2: children so they stop and they never do it again. 885 01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 2: Dear Lord, we put these people on a registry. We 886 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 2: put them on a list. If they live in our neighborhoods. 887 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 2: I think if you're a doctor who performs the stuff 888 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,560 Speaker 2: boom back on the list, do you save me? Tony? 889 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 2: Did you just say lists? I'm talking about children here. 890 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about somebody's politics. They're talking about their 891 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 2: own with another adult sexual proclivities. I don't care. I 892 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 2: don't care what you're into in the bedroom. You do 893 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 2: you boo boo? Children? I care a lot. And the 894 01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,439 Speaker 2: freaks on the left are like, why are you always 895 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,720 Speaker 2: obsessed with other people's bodies? Why am I obsessed with 896 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 2: you wanting to touch a child's body? I don't know, 897 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:39,280 Speaker 2: because of normal, because I'm a decent human being who 898 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 2: knows that my job as an adult is to protect children, 899 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 2: more often than not from themselves, but certainly from predators 900 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:51,880 Speaker 2: like people who want to abuse them. Back to Secretary Kennedy. 901 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 16: There is the moral obligation to do no harm. There 902 01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:00,520 Speaker 16: is divine wars in every person. It shines most rightly 903 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:04,240 Speaker 16: in our children. Bad Worth commands us to protect them. 904 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 16: And as long as I serve as AGHS secretary, this agent. 905 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:24,080 Speaker 2: That was weird. The audio just cut out. That was weird. 906 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,760 Speaker 2: The audio just cut out. That was very strange, very odd. 907 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,720 Speaker 2: How that just happened. You don't usually want that to happen. 908 01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,200 Speaker 2: As there were more conversations to take place from the 909 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:41,760 Speaker 2: Secretary of Health and Human Services there and from doctor 910 01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 2: Oz runs Medicare Medicaid services. I cannot say it enough. 911 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,920 Speaker 2: I cannot be more engaged in what it is that 912 01:03:50,960 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 2: we're discussing here. You quite simply cannot have a society 913 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:11,080 Speaker 2: where children are abused and say nothing and do nothing. 914 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:18,520 Speaker 2: And every conversation about gender affirming care, every single one 915 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 2: was built and created to keep silent so they could 916 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 2: go about doing what they do, including every conversation of 917 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,960 Speaker 2: if you don't allow these children to mutilate themselves, they'll 918 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 2: commit suicide. It was a lie then, it was a 919 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 2: lie now and their liars and they're still lying. Suicide 920 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 2: doesn't come from this idea of you won't let me 921 01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 2: do something. It comes from Unhappiness comes from not knowing 922 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 2: how to live with oneself and one's issues, and to 923 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,080 Speaker 2: not see the way out and not know how to 924 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 2: work through that to the better tomorrow, which does indeed 925 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 2: ex exist. I'm living proof, I am living proof that 926 01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 2: these things are real, that you can overcome it. But 927 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:18,280 Speaker 2: I do want to share with you the part of 928 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 2: the conversation with Chloe Cole. I'll get to that in 929 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:31,080 Speaker 2: just a moment. But I was sharing some updates on 930 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 2: Greg Biffle, NASCAR driver, and this plane crash that took 931 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 2: place in North Carolina, and the plane is linked to Biffle, 932 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,800 Speaker 2: so it's still owned the Blue We know the plane 933 01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:51,920 Speaker 2: is owned by him, but we don't know all the details. 934 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,680 Speaker 2: We're hearing that Biffle was on the plane that crash 935 01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,200 Speaker 2: and there were no survivors there in North Carolina. We're 936 01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,520 Speaker 2: still waiting on levels of confirmation. So with that, I 937 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,560 Speaker 2: just wanted to if this is happening, I just wanted 938 01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 2: to give as much up on it as I possibly can. 939 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,200 Speaker 2: We come back, I will have the commentary from Chloe 940 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 2: Cole that you absolutely have to hear.

Absolutely, absolutely, this ideology is 955 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 13: festering at an unimaginable scale within our hospital systems, our culture, 956 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:30,560 Speaker 13: our communities, into many within our own families. 957 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,600 Speaker 11: For me, it started with being lied to about who 958 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 11: I was my adults. Outside of my family. 959 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,400 Speaker 13: I was made to feel that the way that God 960 01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 13: beautifully made me was in fact a mistake, a mistake 961 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:55,720 Speaker 13: that could only be fixed by so called modern medicine. 962 01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:57,240 Speaker 11: My doctors. 963 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 13: Rather than godding me, they affirmed my childish misgivings about 964 01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:08,200 Speaker 13: my developing body, my belief that I wasn't just a tomboy, 965 01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 13: that if I like having short hair, if I liked 966 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,680 Speaker 13: being around the boys more, if I behaved more like 967 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 13: my older brothers, I actually was a boy who just 968 01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 13: so happened to be born in a girl's body. At 969 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:32,040 Speaker 13: thirteen years old, I was administered purity blockers and distosterone 970 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 13: and high doses, and when I was only fifteen, they 971 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 13: removed my breasts. 972 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:41,800 Speaker 11: My questions about. 973 01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,840 Speaker 13: Whether I will be able to have children, or about 974 01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,599 Speaker 13: the future of my reproductive health and my. 975 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,240 Speaker 11: Overall health have gone unanswered. 976 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 13: But that mistepped me ensured that I am never going 977 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,680 Speaker 13: to be able to nourish whatever and I may have. 978 01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,200 Speaker 13: And this happened before I was even mature enough to 979 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:09,639 Speaker 13: understand that one day I would aspire to. 980 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:10,240 Speaker 11: Become a mother. 981 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 13: Because of the moral feelings of my doctors, I forever 982 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 13: have lost significant parts of my identity as a now 983 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,880 Speaker 13: adult woman while I was still a child. 984 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,880 Speaker 2: I have spoken to her eyed eyes, and it is heartbreaking. 985 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:34,799 Speaker 2: And the story she tells is the story of abuse 986 01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 2: and of doctors who failed. And they're not good and 987 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,960 Speaker 2: they're not decent, and they should, in my view, lose 988 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 2: their licenses. This is full on abuse, This is torture, 989 01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:48,320 Speaker 2: this is disfigurement. No, never a conversation about the future. 990 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,000 Speaker 2: It's more these kids, no, no, no, only worry about 991 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:52,559 Speaker 2: how you feel right now. We don't want to think 992 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:56,240 Speaker 2: about your future, and whenever anybody de transitions, they are 993 01:09:56,280 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 2: immediately cast aside. Nobody wants to deal with this reality. 994 01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,760 Speaker 2: That's the truth. They don't want to deal with the 995 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,679 Speaker 2: reality of what they have done and what they are 996 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 2: doing to kids. Any chance to hear Chloe Cole speak, 997 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 2: I try and make that happen. I try and make 998 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:28,680 Speaker 2: that happen because it's the manipulation. And why did I 999 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,640 Speaker 2: favor rediffracting because you think I want these people to 1000 01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,519 Speaker 2: be in office. Look what they're willing to say, okay 1001 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,360 Speaker 2: too regarding kids. And if people are offended by that, 1002 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:39,800 Speaker 2: I think the offense is what you're willing to say, 1003 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:43,640 Speaker 2: ook too, about to be using kids. I don't have 1004 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 2: to apologize, you do. Good God, there's more show. Keep 1005 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,439 Speaker 2: it right here.

Ed Morrissey has his opinion as well. 1014 01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:35,680 Speaker 2: Ed Morrissey joins me right now from hotair dot com. 1015 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:43,080 Speaker 2: President Trump speaks to America last night prime time address. Now, 1016 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 2: I will tell you, Ed that I have been saying 1017 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,799 Speaker 2: for a while that they have to sell the story 1018 01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,000 Speaker 2: to America. Here's what's going on with the economy. We 1019 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,720 Speaker 2: understand things aren't great. Right now, here's what we did here, 1020 01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 2: here's what we did there. Here's what's going to start working. 1021 01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,639 Speaker 2: And here's what's gonna matter. And yes, we have these 1022 01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,120 Speaker 2: invason Yes they're not yet in the ground yet, they're 1023 01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,439 Speaker 2: not shovel ready yet. We're not seeing the dollars yet. 1024 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 2: But when we do, here's what happens. And here's how 1025 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,160 Speaker 2: it's better. Here's how this all turns around. They had 1026 01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 2: started this with we're gonna fix this in a day, 1027 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,400 Speaker 2: and now they want to get into well, we had 1028 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,040 Speaker 2: to fix Biden's mess. I don't mind the admission that 1029 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,320 Speaker 2: you have to fix Biden's mess. I think it was 1030 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,920 Speaker 2: very poor messaging from the beginning. I have said so repeatedly. 1031 01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 2: I said so on Sean Spicer's show. That got to 1032 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,600 Speaker 2: Scott Bessett, The Treasury Secretary. Steve Bannon brought it up 1033 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,640 Speaker 2: to Scott Bessett and then referred to me as a 1034 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,280 Speaker 2: stock Republican, which might be the most insulting thing I 1035 01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:41,559 Speaker 2: have ever heard in my entire life. Stock Republican Steve 1036 01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:46,280 Speaker 2: Bannon kiss Mike. Anyway, and now I'm seeing them tell 1037 01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,719 Speaker 2: the story, which is really good and really important, except 1038 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if I liked the way they told 1039 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,760 Speaker 2: the story last night. You read the speech, you didn't 1040 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,600 Speaker 2: watch it, which I love. You read the speech, and 1041 01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 2: there's always a little bit of difference in the two things. 1042 01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,200 Speaker 2: What did you take from it? Well? 1043 01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,080 Speaker 4: I took that this is really the launch, the official 1044 01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 4: launch of the midterm campaign. You know, the White House 1045 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 4: has been saying that Donald Trump is really going to 1046 01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 4: put himself at the top of the ticket. This is 1047 01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:17,240 Speaker 4: a little unusual for presidents who generally like to have 1048 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 4: a little bit of distance from midterms because they don't 1049 01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:24,520 Speaker 4: really want to make it a referendum on their presidency. 1050 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,480 Speaker 4: But this is a little bit different situation. The majorities 1051 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:32,040 Speaker 4: are so narrow in Congress that Donald Trump is really 1052 01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:33,640 Speaker 4: needs to make sure that he can do whatever he 1053 01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 4: can to hold serve in both the House and the 1054 01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,760 Speaker 4: Senate if he wants to have any of these policies 1055 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,360 Speaker 4: be made permit. Most of the stuff that he's done 1056 01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,400 Speaker 4: so far has been on executive authority, right, which can 1057 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,639 Speaker 4: be reversed. This is the reason why he was able 1058 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,840 Speaker 4: to reverse a lot of what Biden did was because 1059 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,880 Speaker 4: Biden didn't get a lot of this stuff through Congress. 1060 01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:56,920 Speaker 4: Biden did it on executive authority and so legitimate. I'm 1061 01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,280 Speaker 4: not saying that was illegitimate, but the thing about executive 1062 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,240 Speaker 4: authority is when you get a different executive they can 1063 01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:05,439 Speaker 4: change everything. And Trump has done that, and Biden did 1064 01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 4: it to Trump before that, and Trump did it to 1065 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:12,559 Speaker 4: Obama before that. What I took from this is that 1066 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,959 Speaker 4: this is a pretty good platform to launch the midterm 1067 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,679 Speaker 4: campaigns on. I think he was pretty disciplined, made sure 1068 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:22,679 Speaker 4: that he got some real data in there. And then 1069 01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,559 Speaker 4: this morning he got a gift because the consumer price 1070 01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:30,719 Speaker 4: index numbers came out and it was unexpectedly significantly lower 1071 01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:31,640 Speaker 4: than two point. 1072 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,320 Speaker 2: Seven percent as opposed to the three point one percent 1073 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:35,480 Speaker 2: that was predicted. 1074 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:40,080 Speaker 4: Right, and it's down from the summer spike. And you know, 1075 01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,559 Speaker 4: and I know that inflation rose over the summer, but 1076 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,280 Speaker 4: it didn't really go up that high, right, I mean 1077 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,440 Speaker 4: we were talking nine percent nine point one percent annualized 1078 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 4: CPI during the Biden administration. This was a summer spike 1079 01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 4: that is was caused at least in part by the tariffs, 1080 01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:57,960 Speaker 4: and then and now it's coming back down and the 1081 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 4: tariffs are still there. So I think Trump's got a 1082 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 4: little bit of he can run like a little second 1083 01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:06,240 Speaker 4: victory lap. 1084 01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:06,639 Speaker 2: Today. 1085 01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,280 Speaker 4: Roger Kimball actually had a really good piece at Spectator 1086 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,360 Speaker 4: today which was that what did we elect Donald Trump 1087 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,160 Speaker 4: to do? We elected him to close the border. He's 1088 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,280 Speaker 4: done that. We elected to get the illegal immigrants out 1089 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,400 Speaker 4: of the country. Well two and a half million of 1090 01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:21,800 Speaker 4: them so far have left, so he's well on his 1091 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:26,639 Speaker 4: way there. He was elected to restore American credibility abroad, 1092 01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:29,719 Speaker 4: which is a key part, as Roger Kimball says, about 1093 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,799 Speaker 4: making America great again, and he's done that as well. 1094 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,920 Speaker 4: So he took victory laps on all those things and 1095 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,799 Speaker 4: that makes a lot of sense. But he did focus 1096 01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 4: mostly on economics, which is what they're going to have 1097 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,880 Speaker 4: to do. And so, yes, I think we talked about 1098 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,600 Speaker 4: this last week. We said you know, he needs to 1099 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 4: get his tight ten. He needs to go out and 1100 01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:49,840 Speaker 4: get his He needs to tune this message up. The 1101 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:51,559 Speaker 4: only way he's going to do that. You think the 1102 01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,040 Speaker 4: performer is to go out on the road and tight 1103 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:54,519 Speaker 4: and do that. 1104 01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:57,080 Speaker 2: I think last night was his tight ten. 1105 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,240 Speaker 4: No, I think he's getting closer to it. 1106 01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 16: Though. 1107 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,200 Speaker 4: I think he's getting closer to it. And that wasn't 1108 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 4: really a format for a tight ten anyway. I mean, 1109 01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:06,720 Speaker 4: this is when we' talking about a tight ten, we're 1110 01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,960 Speaker 4: talking about rallies and specific areas and stuff like this. 1111 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,559 Speaker 4: This was a White House address that is sort of 1112 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:17,599 Speaker 4: you know, it's you know, the fireside chats of FDR, 1113 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,920 Speaker 4: that type of thing. It's a different genre, and I 1114 01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,519 Speaker 4: think he wrote I think they whoever wrote the speech 1115 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,600 Speaker 4: wrote it for that genre. I think he, according to 1116 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,320 Speaker 4: the small clips that I've seen of this, again, I 1117 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,519 Speaker 4: didn't watch the whole thing. Seemed like he delivered it 1118 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,599 Speaker 4: fairly in a fairly disciplined manner, didn't stray too much, 1119 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 4: had all the usual bomb bass that was written into 1120 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:43,679 Speaker 4: the speech. So if you read the speech, it's written 1121 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,240 Speaker 4: into the speech, and that's classic Donald Trump. And I 1122 01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:48,960 Speaker 4: think he's going to be who he's going to be. 1123 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 4: But yeah, I think it was. It's a fairly effective speech. 1124 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:54,840 Speaker 4: Whether it moves the needle or not is what we're 1125 01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,320 Speaker 4: going to see. But it's not going to move the 1126 01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 4: needle by doing that from the White House. He's going 1127 01:16:58,200 --> 01:16:58,680 Speaker 4: to have to be on. 1128 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,400 Speaker 2: The road talking. Let me, let me engage in some 1129 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 2: disagreement here, talking to Ed Morrissey off hot air dot com. 1130 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,920 Speaker 2: It's an effective message. It was not an effective speech. 1131 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 2: It was given with way too much gruffness and way 1132 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:13,559 Speaker 2: too loud as opposed to being explanatory and saying, here's 1133 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,400 Speaker 2: where we're going, guys, I have got this under control. 1134 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,960 Speaker 2: Follow me here, and here's going to be the better result. 1135 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 2: So it isn't in a matter of delivery. It did 1136 01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,960 Speaker 2: not deliver well, and it certainly seemed disjointed and out 1137 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,360 Speaker 2: of place for what would be traditionally a primetime address. 1138 01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 2: That said Trump is disjointed from what anything traditionally would be. 1139 01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:39,679 Speaker 2: So it makes perfect sense, Yes, this is going down 1140 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:43,400 Speaker 2: the road a better explaining oneselves, and yes, there are 1141 01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,640 Speaker 2: plenty of good things to talk about. The problem is, 1142 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,840 Speaker 2: there hasn't been a messaging until now, Until recently from 1143 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,679 Speaker 2: the White House of how would they want it messaged? 1144 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,920 Speaker 2: So you've got people engaging in these very kind of 1145 01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:01,320 Speaker 2: here there everywhere scattershot conversation trying to figure out which 1146 01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,639 Speaker 2: message is going to hold. But you need the team 1147 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:07,880 Speaker 2: to be able to lead that down. There are successes, 1148 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,719 Speaker 2: for sure, and now you've got to go about pummeling 1149 01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,920 Speaker 2: a media that refuses to talk about those successes. So 1150 01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,920 Speaker 2: sending the proper message is one thing. Now how do 1151 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,320 Speaker 2: you get media to come along with you and how 1152 01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,280 Speaker 2: do you counter that? That's I think the next step 1153 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,200 Speaker 2: for this White House as you start to build the 1154 01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,719 Speaker 2: momentum towards what happens with this economy on July first, 1155 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, because that day will determine what happens 1156 01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:33,760 Speaker 2: on the midterms. 1157 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1158 01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,840 Speaker 4: No, I or you can argue maybe July the last 1159 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:43,559 Speaker 4: week of July when q Q two results come out. 1160 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,479 Speaker 4: We still haven't seen the GDP yet for Q three, 1161 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:50,599 Speaker 4: but it's rumored to be around four personisive. 1162 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,280 Speaker 2: We all agree four percent GDP is out of control growth. 1163 01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,679 Speaker 2: It's crazy. Yeah. So again, I think. 1164 01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,080 Speaker 4: That there's going to be wins that they're going to 1165 01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:02,479 Speaker 4: be able to that they're going to be able to 1166 01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 4: frame up as arguments for staying the course. I mean, 1167 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:09,639 Speaker 4: I go back, you know, forty five years or forty 1168 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,479 Speaker 4: four years to forty three years, I guess to Reagan's 1169 01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 4: midterm message in nineteen eighty two when the economy was 1170 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:21,600 Speaker 4: not doing well and because they were having to reverse 1171 01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:28,000 Speaker 4: several years of economic mismanagement and regulatory overreach in order 1172 01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,599 Speaker 4: to create an economy that actually worked. And Reagan's message 1173 01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:33,639 Speaker 4: in that midterm was stay the course. And that's going 1174 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 4: to be Trump's message. He's just not Reagan, so he's 1175 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 4: not going to deliver it like Reagan. Reagan Reagan had this, 1176 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:43,840 Speaker 4: you know, this clear sort of calm leadership style, calm, 1177 01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:48,959 Speaker 4: jovial leadership style. Donald Trump is bombastic, and his leadership 1178 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 4: style is to be the boss and to say this 1179 01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:53,240 Speaker 4: is what's going to happen. He's going to be his 1180 01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 4: authentic self. And he has to be his authentic self. 1181 01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,400 Speaker 4: It's what got him elected twice to the presidency. And 1182 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,600 Speaker 4: and that's what he has to do. He has to 1183 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 4: go out and dazzle people with this message. But the 1184 01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 4: message itself has to be good, and it has to 1185 01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,720 Speaker 4: be valid, and it has to have data behind it 1186 01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:11,400 Speaker 4: in order to do it, and I think that that 1187 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,360 Speaker 4: is what you see in this speech, especially if you 1188 01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,040 Speaker 4: read it, you see that they're recognizing this and they're 1189 01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,559 Speaker 4: looking for specific data points to sell, and we're going 1190 01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:20,719 Speaker 4: to have more as they go along. 1191 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,800 Speaker 2: Talking to Ed Morrissey off hotair dot Com, one of 1192 01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,719 Speaker 2: the things in the speech really quick was the Warrior 1193 01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:31,439 Speaker 2: Dividend seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars to four hundred 1194 01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 2: and fifty thousand members of the military. I don't mind 1195 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 2: military members getting a bonus. It's a hard thing to 1196 01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,360 Speaker 2: complain about, but seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars is 1197 01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,720 Speaker 2: too cutesy for words, and this could very much be 1198 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 2: taken as, oh, this is like paying lou student loans. 1199 01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,760 Speaker 2: We're just going to buy votes right now. We're just 1200 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,600 Speaker 2: going to write checks from I don't know where the 1201 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 2: money comes from and buy votes. So I'm not sure 1202 01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,200 Speaker 2: if a mechanism already exists to get military members bonuses. 1203 01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 2: It's going to be weird to see people complain about this. 1204 01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,160 Speaker 2: But this is just a little bit of qtz QUTESI 1205 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:04,840 Speaker 2: And I don't know how much a fan I am. 1206 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,360 Speaker 2: I am of qt QT you want to give the bonus, 1207 01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:08,600 Speaker 2: give the damn bonus. 1208 01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:11,679 Speaker 4: I would have preferred seventeen eighty seven because that's when 1209 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,439 Speaker 4: we adopted the constitution. 1210 01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 2: Or or maybe. 1211 01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:17,720 Speaker 16: I have. 1212 01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,439 Speaker 4: Millions the Louisiana purchased in eighteen oh four, right, we 1213 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:24,960 Speaker 4: should have done eighteen hundred and four dollars. Look, I 1214 01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,479 Speaker 4: am not a fan of stimulus checks, which is what 1215 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,920 Speaker 4: this is. Really I am fine with them doing a 1216 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:35,639 Speaker 4: bonus to the military. Uh, they're paying for it through 1217 01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 4: the tariff income that's going to create That could create 1218 01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:41,960 Speaker 4: a legal fight. A I don't think Congress is going 1219 01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 4: to do that with the military dividends, the warrior dividends, 1220 01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:47,519 Speaker 4: the prob they probably won't fight it because it's just 1221 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:52,160 Speaker 4: it's going to look too churlish for words. However, what 1222 01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,000 Speaker 4: I was happy about was we all thought that he 1223 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:59,560 Speaker 4: was going to announce a new massive stimulus check for everybody, 1224 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:01,920 Speaker 4: which was going to you know, you know, one hundred 1225 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,320 Speaker 4: billion dollars a couple hundred billion dollars or something like 1226 01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:07,000 Speaker 4: that and costs. And I'm happy that they didn't do 1227 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 4: that because the problem with inflation is not enough supply 1228 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,360 Speaker 4: to meet demand. So this was the and this is 1229 01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:17,960 Speaker 4: the trap that Biden fell into four years ago. You 1230 01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 4: had a supply chain crisis. You didn't have you didn't 1231 01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:24,559 Speaker 4: have supply, and what did Biden do. He spiked demand. 1232 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:29,800 Speaker 4: Is what created the massive inflationary wave that took place 1233 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,840 Speaker 4: over the next two years. So this administration needs to 1234 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:38,200 Speaker 4: focus on supply side economic policies boosting supply, and they're 1235 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:41,160 Speaker 4: doing it with energy for instance. Energy is a good 1236 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,599 Speaker 4: example of this. But they need and they're doing it 1237 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 4: through the tariffs. Negotiating for investments in the United States, 1238 01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,320 Speaker 4: I think Donald Trump said something like eighteen trillion. I 1239 01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:52,439 Speaker 4: don't know how accurate that was, but certainly there's a 1240 01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:55,080 Speaker 4: significant amount of capital flowing back into the United States 1241 01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 4: for investment. That's what needs to continue to happen. You 1242 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 4: don't want to spike demand in the middle of this 1243 01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:02,960 Speaker 4: because you're gonna get inflation when. 1244 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:03,240 Speaker 2: You do that. 1245 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,080 Speaker 4: So I was actually happy that it was only limited 1246 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,920 Speaker 4: to the one point four million members of the Armed Services, 1247 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 4: who I am very happy that they will get a 1248 01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:17,679 Speaker 4: seventeen seventy six bonus to their paychecks this Christmas. I mean, 1249 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:19,800 Speaker 4: I'm happy it was limited to that. 1250 01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:24,040 Speaker 2: Edmarscy hotair dot com. We've got much more to talk about. 1251 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,120 Speaker 2: So you stay right there.

So 1253 01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,599 Speaker 2: what am I supposed to do about this economy? Because 1254 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,000 Speaker 2: I take a look at precious metals and they go up, 1255 01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:35,800 Speaker 2: and that's a hedge against inflation. I take a look 1256 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,240 Speaker 2: at prices and say they're still too high at many places. 1257 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:42,720 Speaker 2: Yet I see that GDP continues to move upward. Are 1258 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:46,280 Speaker 2: we hearing about four percent? And we've got November prices 1259 01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,200 Speaker 2: even though the data was delayed at two point seven 1260 01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:53,120 Speaker 2: for the CPI, that's below three percent is inflation and 1261 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,320 Speaker 2: check Tony Kats, Tony Kats Today. Good to be with you, 1262 01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:00,280 Speaker 2: Doctor Mattwell joins US economist at the University of Indianapolis. 1263 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 2: I know that you're busy, you're taking care of a 1264 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,120 Speaker 2: bunch of things before the holidays, but you made some 1265 01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 2: time for us. I appreciate it. You've taken a look 1266 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,760 Speaker 2: at some of these numbers. It's two point seven, it's 1267 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 2: even lower than three percent on the core CPI. What 1268 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 2: does this tell you? 1269 01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,720 Speaker 9: It tells me you should take the report, wadd it 1270 01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:20,360 Speaker 9: up into a big piece of paper and throw it 1271 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:24,519 Speaker 9: in the trash. This is a worthless report. And here's why. Yeah, 1272 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,679 Speaker 9: it's two point seven year over year, but we don't 1273 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,880 Speaker 9: have October data, we don't have November data. They just 1274 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,599 Speaker 9: took one big, massive year over year piece of data. 1275 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,720 Speaker 9: There's so much missing information in this you can't draw 1276 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,640 Speaker 9: conclusion the market. The market had a big yawn. It 1277 01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,760 Speaker 9: just said, oh oh, well, that's nice, move along. There's 1278 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,800 Speaker 9: nothing to see here. And there's nothing to see here. 1279 01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 9: It is not a report that you can use. I 1280 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:49,480 Speaker 9: would ask everybody don't rely on it when you're making decisions. 1281 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:52,839 Speaker 2: So why is that? Is it because the data is delayed, 1282 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,680 Speaker 2: or is it because the data is incomplete. 1283 01:24:56,520 --> 01:25:01,479 Speaker 9: It's incomplete because they've decided they a decision since we 1284 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:03,720 Speaker 9: last spoke that they're simply not going to try to 1285 01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,720 Speaker 9: collect data for October November. They're just going to skip it. 1286 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:08,960 Speaker 9: They're not going to go back and recreate it. So 1287 01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,040 Speaker 9: we're looking at simply year over year data. So we're 1288 01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 9: including way too much data from eleven twelve months ago, 1289 01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,600 Speaker 9: and we're talking data that before Trump was president is 1290 01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,680 Speaker 9: included in this data. The most important, which is the 1291 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:24,800 Speaker 9: most recent two months it's just not in there, and 1292 01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 9: so that's unfortunate that they decided not to go back 1293 01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,439 Speaker 9: and collect historical data. They're just going to exclude it 1294 01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:30,080 Speaker 9: for the future. 1295 01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:33,840 Speaker 2: Into statement talking to doctor Matt Will economists at the 1296 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:37,000 Speaker 2: University of Indianapolis, what do you mean they're going to 1297 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:38,280 Speaker 2: exclude it for the future. 1298 01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 9: They're not even going to go back and recreate it. 1299 01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 9: We're not going to know if October was up or down, 1300 01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,439 Speaker 9: if this November was up or down. It's possible that 1301 01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 9: the November data had a big jump or could have 1302 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,160 Speaker 9: been a big decrease. They simply aren't going to collect 1303 01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:54,599 Speaker 9: the data. So we can't multiply by twelve. You and I, Tony, 1304 01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 9: we always multiply by twelve to get the annual number. 1305 01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,400 Speaker 9: We can't do that now. So and they're not even 1306 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,960 Speaker 9: going to collect the information to see what it was. 1307 01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:05,200 Speaker 2: By the way, these numbers sent the markets nuts. A 1308 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,400 Speaker 2: doubt one moment over four hundred could have been higher 1309 01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:11,920 Speaker 2: by the time it closes the Nasdaq above a four hundred, 1310 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 2: you're making the argument that these numbers are incomplete. I 1311 01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,719 Speaker 2: asked you, Are you saying that that's political or should 1312 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,240 Speaker 2: I be looking at that as saying, well, that's the 1313 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,479 Speaker 2: reality of not doing things in real time because of 1314 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:25,040 Speaker 2: the shutdown. 1315 01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 9: Yes, it's the second one. It's not doing things in 1316 01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 9: real time because of the shutdown. Is there's nothing political 1317 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 9: about it. They simply aren't going to go back and 1318 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,519 Speaker 9: spend the labor and the manpower to get it done. 1319 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,400 Speaker 2: So, now we take a look at this economy. I'm 1320 01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:40,160 Speaker 2: going to give you two numbers to think about right here, sir, 1321 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 2: West Texas crewed. This is the perb barrel price. Is 1322 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,400 Speaker 2: that fifty six dollars and fifty cents. It's ticked up 1323 01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,479 Speaker 2: a little bit today. And the brend crude, which comes 1324 01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,280 Speaker 2: out of the oceans has just crossed over sixty dollars, 1325 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,679 Speaker 2: just over sixty dollars as I'm talking to you right now. Now. 1326 01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,280 Speaker 2: These numbers have been in the mid sixties for a 1327 01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,599 Speaker 2: long time and then they both dropped under sixty dollars 1328 01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:03,880 Speaker 2: about well. Meanwhile, silver, not even gold, gold is at 1329 01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,799 Speaker 2: forty three hundred and forty two dollars an ounce. Silver 1330 01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:11,519 Speaker 2: has cracked sixty six dollars an ounce full discloser. I 1331 01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:14,320 Speaker 2: sold mine at fifty one and I did pretty well, 1332 01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:16,920 Speaker 2: So you can imagine I could be angry, but I'm 1333 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,400 Speaker 2: not a guy who gets angry. The point is an 1334 01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:23,080 Speaker 2: ounce of silver is worth more than a barrel of oil. 1335 01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 2: You're an economist, what does that mean? 1336 01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:30,360 Speaker 9: Hedge against inflation? It's pure and simple. Silver and gold 1337 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:33,080 Speaker 9: are hedges against inflation. So that tells you the people 1338 01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:36,280 Speaker 9: in the commodities market, they are strongly in favor of 1339 01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:39,320 Speaker 9: the fact that inflation is not killed. It's here, and 1340 01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:41,760 Speaker 9: they're going to bed against it by putting their money 1341 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 9: into commodities. And that's why that cracked the number you 1342 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,720 Speaker 9: just mentioned. They're simply hedging against inflation. So it contradicts 1343 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,720 Speaker 9: the other data that we just got from the CPI. 1344 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,680 Speaker 2: And that's the part that gets everybody nney. What are 1345 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 2: you supposed to look at? What are you supposed to 1346 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:59,200 Speaker 2: think when when you see how Americans act in general, 1347 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:03,200 Speaker 2: not the markets Americans you're to be an economist is 1348 01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:07,080 Speaker 2: to be a philosopher's to be an observer of moods 1349 01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 2: and movements. What are the American people telling you? 1350 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,680 Speaker 9: You know what I believe, I strongly say this all 1351 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:17,000 Speaker 9: the time. Trump is his own worst enemy. And what 1352 01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 9: the people believe is they know that that this guy 1353 01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,120 Speaker 9: can't get out of his way. For all the great 1354 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 9: things he does, he does some bad things. And I 1355 01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 9: sound like a broken record when I say that, but 1356 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:29,720 Speaker 9: that's what we're getting today's data. CPI says inflation's not 1357 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,439 Speaker 9: as bad as we thought. Silver says inflation is bad. 1358 01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:35,679 Speaker 9: People say, hey, my economy's good, and some people say, eh, 1359 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,799 Speaker 9: economy doesn't look so great, Tony. We're in a massive 1360 01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:42,200 Speaker 9: state of uncertainty and confusion at the moment, and I 1361 01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:45,800 Speaker 9: think the President is causing this by contradicting his good 1362 01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:47,280 Speaker 9: policies with some bad ones. 1363 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:52,400 Speaker 2: Is this all about tariffs or is this all about 1364 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:53,080 Speaker 2: something else? 1365 01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:56,559 Speaker 9: It's all about tariff, Sony, because when you look at 1366 01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:59,280 Speaker 9: the year over year, remember that's the two point seven 1367 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,680 Speaker 9: dator we're looking at that includes pre tariff data the 1368 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:05,599 Speaker 9: post tariff data. That number is higher than it really 1369 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,200 Speaker 9: than it appears at two point seven. The post tariff 1370 01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:12,559 Speaker 9: data is still coming into the information and so we're 1371 01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,160 Speaker 9: going to see that. We saw it in the is 1372 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:18,320 Speaker 9: MPMI report earlier this month. We saw that number creeping up. 1373 01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:21,919 Speaker 9: There is still inflation, especially on the whole sale side. 1374 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:27,640 Speaker 9: That's where we're seeing it, and it's not gone inflation affordability. 1375 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,840 Speaker 9: You know, that's the word that the Democrats are trying 1376 01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 9: to use. Trump needs to legitimately admit, Okay, we've got 1377 01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,160 Speaker 9: an inflation problem. Let's fix it. 1378 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:37,639 Speaker 2: And do we have a manufacturing problem? Still? 1379 01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,519 Speaker 9: Define manufacturing problem? Are we making stuff? 1380 01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:42,000 Speaker 2: No? 1381 01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,920 Speaker 9: We are still on nine months nine months of declining 1382 01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,120 Speaker 9: manufacturing in the US. We haven't seen that kind of 1383 01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:51,759 Speaker 9: decline since the pandemic. The terriffs are causing The tariffs 1384 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,880 Speaker 9: are causing the manufacturing shrinking in the United States. And 1385 01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:57,599 Speaker 9: Trump needs to get rid of these dang terriffts because 1386 01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 9: they're the ones hurting the manufacturing. He thinks it helps. 1387 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,200 Speaker 9: But I gotta tell you, as good as he is, 1388 01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 9: he's wrong on this, and he's been wrong from the beginning. 1389 01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:08,559 Speaker 2: But he's not moving from it. He told you last 1390 01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:10,840 Speaker 2: night and the speech tarr for the most beautiful word 1391 01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:11,880 Speaker 2: in the world. 1392 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:14,080 Speaker 9: Well, and you know why I got to tell you. You know, 1393 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:15,960 Speaker 9: I'm a Trumpan, and I'll admit it on the air. 1394 01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 9: I voted for Trumble. But this guy, you know, he's there. 1395 01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:22,400 Speaker 9: He could be one of the greatest economic presidents of 1396 01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:25,439 Speaker 9: history if he would stop strangding himself with people to 1397 01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:26,480 Speaker 9: tell me you already. 1398 01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 2: Is doctor Batt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis. 1399 01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:32,800 Speaker 2: I appreciate you taking the time to be with us. 1400 01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:44,040 Speaker 2: More to get to this is Tony Kats today Edmarssey 1401 01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,880 Speaker 2: Hota dot com. He is back with us because one 1402 01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 2: of the big fights going on in the House that 1403 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 2: now is making its way to the Senate is the 1404 01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:57,760 Speaker 2: conversation of Obamacare subsidies. This was the reason, obstensibly that 1405 01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,880 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer put the Senate in such precarious position of 1406 01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:04,519 Speaker 2: shutting down the government. After forty five days, he loses 1407 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 2: the fight, the government is reopened, but he doesn't give 1408 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,599 Speaker 2: up the fight. He wants three years of Obamacare subsidies continued. 1409 01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:15,800 Speaker 2: And of course these subsidies are not anything that was 1410 01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:19,799 Speaker 2: original to Obamacare the Affordable Care Act. They came during COVID, 1411 01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:23,280 Speaker 2: So these are subsidies that were COVID specific to help 1412 01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:25,960 Speaker 2: people afford what was supposed to be affordable care under 1413 01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,680 Speaker 2: the Affordable Care Act. And then Democrats are claiming that 1414 01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:32,240 Speaker 2: if Republicans don't extend this for three years, they're killing 1415 01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:35,719 Speaker 2: healthcare and cutting healthcare and increasing the cost of health 1416 01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:40,320 Speaker 2: care for millions of Americans. Tony Kats Tony Katz today, 1417 01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,639 Speaker 2: did that all make sense? Did I cover it all good? 1418 01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,360 Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure I covered it all ed 1419 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,439 Speaker 2: Marcy as I said hotair dot Com, Glad you're back 1420 01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,800 Speaker 2: with us. So the Democrats no quit in them. They 1421 01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:56,439 Speaker 2: get four Republicans, including Representative Mike Lawler of New York, 1422 01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,880 Speaker 2: to come across and sign a discharge petition that brings 1423 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:01,519 Speaker 2: us to the front of the line. Is going to 1424 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:04,679 Speaker 2: force the House to vote on it. Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson 1425 01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:07,280 Speaker 2: puts out his own plan, which is based on a 1426 01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:09,640 Speaker 2: Trump asque kind of plan, which isn't a plan to 1427 01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:11,840 Speaker 2: get rid of Obamacare. It's a plan to try and 1428 01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,920 Speaker 2: pretend they're doing a better job on healthcare, which they're 1429 01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:17,519 Speaker 2: not one hundred percent wrong about, and say stop giving 1430 01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:19,640 Speaker 2: money to hospitals and start giving the money back to 1431 01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:23,240 Speaker 2: the people. Break down the component parts here and how 1432 01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:26,200 Speaker 2: this is going to get used politically. What's going on 1433 01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,280 Speaker 2: with House Republicans and what's going on with Senate Democrats 1434 01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:31,680 Speaker 2: right now regarding Obamacare and subsidies. 1435 01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:35,160 Speaker 4: Well, look, I mean, let's just talk about the discharge petition. 1436 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:39,280 Speaker 4: It addresses an actual political problem for both parties, but 1437 01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,679 Speaker 4: Republicans in particular at this moment, which is that those 1438 01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:45,679 Speaker 4: prices were going to go up in the exchanges starting 1439 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:50,360 Speaker 4: in what a couple of weeks. Mike Johnson's idea was 1440 01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:54,679 Speaker 4: to create a reconciliation package in the next budget resolution, 1441 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:58,479 Speaker 4: which probably would be somewhere in the March frame, that 1442 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:03,200 Speaker 4: would redo Obamacare in such a way that those subsidies 1443 01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:05,479 Speaker 4: would not be necessary, that they would just lower the 1444 01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:09,360 Speaker 4: costs directly. The problem with that, though, is that you're 1445 01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:13,800 Speaker 4: going to be sticking these households with these higher costs 1446 01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:18,000 Speaker 4: for the next several months, hoping that you're going to 1447 01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:20,160 Speaker 4: be able to get a reconciliation package that does this 1448 01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:25,519 Speaker 4: through through Congress. That was tried once before, was tried 1449 01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:29,720 Speaker 4: eight years ago, when Republicans failed to get their reconciliation 1450 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:32,559 Speaker 4: package through. That was John McCain's famous you know, no 1451 01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:34,800 Speaker 4: vote on the floor of the Senate, one of his 1452 01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:37,439 Speaker 4: last uh, one of his one of the last things 1453 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:42,080 Speaker 4: he actually did in the Senate of note. And they 1454 01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,439 Speaker 4: still don't even have a plan correct to do this, right, 1455 01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:48,679 Speaker 4: I mean, so they're basically, you know, Johnson was asking 1456 01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:52,679 Speaker 4: his moderate members, the ones that are in at risk 1457 01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:56,080 Speaker 4: districts in the midterms to just basically say, well, just 1458 01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:59,599 Speaker 4: suck it up and trust me. Politically speaking, that's kind 1459 01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:03,160 Speaker 4: of stupid. Now, I agree that these subsidies should not 1460 01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:06,320 Speaker 4: have been extended. It was Democrats that sunset these things 1461 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:09,519 Speaker 4: because they passed it through their own reconciliation package and 1462 01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:12,320 Speaker 4: had to make sure that it was deficit neutral. That's 1463 01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:14,040 Speaker 4: the reason why the sunset clause was in there in 1464 01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:17,240 Speaker 4: the first place. And both Republicans and Democrats have done 1465 01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,559 Speaker 4: this in reconciliation package. Is they put things in like 1466 01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,559 Speaker 4: the tax cuts Donald Trump did in twenty seventeen, which 1467 01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:27,320 Speaker 4: is also a reconciliation package with sunsets, knowing that Congress 1468 01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:30,720 Speaker 4: couldn't allow the sunsets to actually take place because it 1469 01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:34,080 Speaker 4: would hike either taxes or fees in this particular case 1470 01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:38,280 Speaker 4: on consumers. So the whole thing is a dishonest sort 1471 01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:44,479 Speaker 4: of you know, three card Monty anyway, But beyond that, 1472 01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:48,960 Speaker 4: you could have just passed a one year extension and 1473 01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:51,559 Speaker 4: then done the reconciliation thing. That would have mooted the 1474 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:53,799 Speaker 4: one year extension. I don't understand the three year extension. 1475 01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:55,760 Speaker 4: A one year extension would have moved it past the 1476 01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:59,559 Speaker 4: midterms so that it's no longer on the table in 1477 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:03,360 Speaker 4: a sense for the midterm elections, and allow you to 1478 01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:06,040 Speaker 4: do that reconciliation package. Now, Johnson didn't want to do that. 1479 01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:09,479 Speaker 4: Donald Trump even said he'd be interested, or at least 1480 01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:13,200 Speaker 4: he was willing to discuss an extension while while they 1481 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,200 Speaker 4: were doing those things. So this whole thing, to me 1482 01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:21,320 Speaker 4: is basically political malpractice, largely on Johnson's part, and he 1483 01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 4: got called out on it. If he had floated a 1484 01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 4: one year extension, those people would never have signed onto 1485 01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:30,360 Speaker 4: the discharge petition. One year extension, clean extension, push it 1486 01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:36,080 Speaker 4: off until the next open enrollment period, and then give 1487 01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:39,080 Speaker 4: us a chance in a reconciliation package to address it 1488 01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:41,840 Speaker 4: so it no longer is an issue at the midterms. 1489 01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,960 Speaker 4: That would have been the smart political play, and I 1490 01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:46,600 Speaker 4: don't know why Republicans didn't want to do that. I 1491 01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:51,840 Speaker 4: think it got down to a manhood measuring contest between 1492 01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:55,760 Speaker 4: Republicans and Chuck Schumer, and that was dumb. They had 1493 01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:58,120 Speaker 4: the ability to actually control the outcome here and I 1494 01:35:58,200 --> 01:35:58,960 Speaker 4: think they blew it. 1495 01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:03,439 Speaker 2: Talking to marscyatpotair dot Com, the important thing to learn 1496 01:36:03,479 --> 01:36:06,080 Speaker 2: here about Democrats is that Democrats always act like they're 1497 01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:08,880 Speaker 2: in charge even when they're not in charge. It's it's 1498 01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:11,000 Speaker 2: part of their charm, and it's part of an attitude 1499 01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:15,720 Speaker 2: that involves getting victories. Just pummel the other person to death, 1500 01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:20,759 Speaker 2: including lying. Because the subsidy conversation, it's not that healthcare 1501 01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:23,639 Speaker 2: costs go up, it's at a subsidy that just got 1502 01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:27,280 Speaker 2: into place during COVID goes away, which Democrats already had 1503 01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:29,920 Speaker 2: voted for. They already knew it was going to go away. 1504 01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:33,240 Speaker 2: But Republicans allowed themselves to be turned in the in 1505 01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:35,720 Speaker 2: the in the word game, as opposed to going on 1506 01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:38,679 Speaker 2: the full on attack and calling Chuck Schumer a liar 1507 01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:42,639 Speaker 2: in the well of the Senate while he spoke, interrupting him, 1508 01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:45,679 Speaker 2: badgering him, calling him a liar, telling him he doesn't 1509 01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:48,840 Speaker 2: know how to make a cheeseburger, going at him directly 1510 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:52,960 Speaker 2: and with focus. Republicans still have not properly learned the 1511 01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:56,479 Speaker 2: very concept of the fight. But here we are now 1512 01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:59,160 Speaker 2: where they're pushing this a three year extension. 1513 01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:02,920 Speaker 4: I mean again, this is the they're signing on to 1514 01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:04,840 Speaker 4: a three year extension because that was the only option 1515 01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:07,920 Speaker 4: that kept the prices from going up on the people 1516 01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:11,280 Speaker 4: that they want to go ask for votes later this year. 1517 01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,720 Speaker 4: This is you know, three of these guys in Pennsylvania, 1518 01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:18,800 Speaker 4: one of them was from New York. Those are blue 1519 01:37:18,840 --> 01:37:24,280 Speaker 4: to purple districts that these Republicans are winning that they're 1520 01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:27,720 Speaker 4: going to lose if they sit by and let these 1521 01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:32,000 Speaker 4: prices go up. And the issue is actually that prices 1522 01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:35,280 Speaker 4: are going up and Obamacare is not controlling those prices. 1523 01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 4: The Republicans are right on that. Particular part of it 1524 01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:40,680 Speaker 4: is that Obamacare is completely failed in its mission to 1525 01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:43,920 Speaker 4: control costs. It doesn't control costs. It makes the worse. 1526 01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:46,200 Speaker 4: And the reason why it makes the worse is because 1527 01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:49,719 Speaker 4: it adheres even more tightly to a third party payer 1528 01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:55,720 Speaker 4: system where price signals are masked to consumers, and the 1529 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:59,840 Speaker 4: Obamacare system sort of promises that you can run up 1530 01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:04,160 Speaker 4: the you know, the usage ratios on these things, which 1531 01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:07,240 Speaker 4: means that costco up, et cetera. There's a better way 1532 01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:09,880 Speaker 4: to reform this system. It's not politically palatable, but there 1533 01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:12,800 Speaker 4: is a better way to do it, and that's what 1534 01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:15,360 Speaker 4: Republicans are going to have to start offering if they 1535 01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:19,080 Speaker 4: want to end this cost curve that's happening in healthcare. 1536 01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:22,519 Speaker 2: I was just bringing up that Republicans put themselves in 1537 01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:25,759 Speaker 2: this box by a as you rightly point out, having 1538 01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:28,600 Speaker 2: no plan over the last fifteen years, no willingness to 1539 01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:31,439 Speaker 2: fight this over the last fifteen years, only now coming 1540 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:34,680 Speaker 2: up with something that still doesn't solve the getting rid 1541 01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:38,240 Speaker 2: of Obamacare, which is necessary. You have to gut the ACA, 1542 01:38:38,280 --> 01:38:42,080 Speaker 2: as people like O. Vicroy over at Freeop explain, in 1543 01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:44,920 Speaker 2: order to restart a better system, you have to get 1544 01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:49,479 Speaker 2: rid of the fundamentals there that are so dangerous and damning. 1545 01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:52,600 Speaker 2: But I do wonder just on the politics of it. 1546 01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,320 Speaker 2: You talk about malpractice, right, that was the word that 1547 01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:59,439 Speaker 2: comes with Lawler used about Speaker Johnson. That's the word 1548 01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:03,080 Speaker 2: you use. This is the second discharge petition going the 1549 01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 2: round regular order. You have a majority of the House 1550 01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:07,840 Speaker 2: signing it. It goes right to the front of the 1551 01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:12,160 Speaker 2: line for a vote. Is Speaker Johnson in danger of 1552 01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:13,200 Speaker 2: losing the speakership? 1553 01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:16,120 Speaker 4: No, I don't think they want to do that. I mean, 1554 01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:18,760 Speaker 4: I think if that was the case, Marjorie Taylor Green 1555 01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,760 Speaker 4: would have stuck around, because I think she would have 1556 01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:22,240 Speaker 4: wanted to be part of that. I don't think there's 1557 01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:28,120 Speaker 4: a first I could be stupid. He's not really the issue. 1558 01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:32,080 Speaker 4: The issue is a four seat majority or four vote 1559 01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:35,000 Speaker 4: it's a little bit more than I think it's seven seats, 1560 01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:38,880 Speaker 4: but basically it's a four vote swing, So discharge petitions. 1561 01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:41,760 Speaker 4: In a normal situation where one party has thirty or 1562 01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:47,439 Speaker 4: forty seat majorities, a discharge petition would be basically a 1563 01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:48,200 Speaker 4: pr stunt. 1564 01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:49,000 Speaker 2: It would go. 1565 01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:53,679 Speaker 4: Nowhere, right, But when you only have a four vote 1566 01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:55,760 Speaker 4: swing or a three vote swing. At times it's been 1567 01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:57,759 Speaker 4: a two vote swing until they had that special election 1568 01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:03,880 Speaker 4: in Tennessee, discharge petitions are a real threat. And in 1569 01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:07,719 Speaker 4: both cases it would have been just better to find 1570 01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:09,720 Speaker 4: a way to get the Epstein files was the other one. 1571 01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:12,200 Speaker 4: We haven't mentioned what the other discharge petition was, but 1572 01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:14,000 Speaker 4: it would have been just better. And in the end, 1573 01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:16,680 Speaker 4: they finally, they finally came to this conclusion that it 1574 01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:20,080 Speaker 4: was just better to go along with it and vote 1575 01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:23,360 Speaker 4: for it so that you didn't have to explain why 1576 01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:27,880 Speaker 4: you were posting it or I mean, it was again 1577 01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,439 Speaker 4: a little bit of political malpractice. They figured it out 1578 01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:33,320 Speaker 4: towards the end. They didn't in this particular case. I 1579 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,200 Speaker 4: don't know that this is going to be an ongoing 1580 01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:37,360 Speaker 4: thing because I think that there are I think they're 1581 01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,240 Speaker 4: running out of issues. Democrats a running out of issues 1582 01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,320 Speaker 4: where they can peel off Republicans for stuff like this. 1583 01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:44,000 Speaker 4: But this is, I mean, this was they left it 1584 01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,040 Speaker 4: on the table. They left this potential on the table, 1585 01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,520 Speaker 4: and Democrats took advantage of it. And Jeffries saw the opening. 1586 01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:51,120 Speaker 2: And with the idea of the money not going to 1587 01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:53,960 Speaker 2: insurance companies, not going to hospitals, but going back to 1588 01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,000 Speaker 2: the people. This is the idea that somehow this is 1589 01:40:56,040 --> 01:41:00,160 Speaker 2: going to lower the costs. I haven't seen where the 1590 01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:03,920 Speaker 2: great sell job on this has taken place and how 1591 01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:08,599 Speaker 2: Republicans are supposed to fight the Democrats response of you're 1592 01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 2: taking away people's healthcare. So it anything that is market 1593 01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:18,280 Speaker 2: solution by ninety nine percent favor right, I got to 1594 01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:20,000 Speaker 2: hear particulars. That's the thing that keeps me from one 1595 01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:23,800 Speaker 2: hundred percent. But they haven't sold it. All I did 1596 01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:25,840 Speaker 2: is say it's going to lower costs in a very 1597 01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:29,040 Speaker 2: well mightd but they never sold it and never explained it. 1598 01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:31,639 Speaker 2: How do you expect this to win? Well? 1599 01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 4: Exactly no, no, no, I completely agree with you on this. 1600 01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:39,439 Speaker 4: They have never come back in full throated favor of 1601 01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:45,040 Speaker 4: a market based plan to eliminate the third party payer issue, 1602 01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:48,559 Speaker 4: to go back to a reform that where the healthcare 1603 01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:52,360 Speaker 4: market resembles other parts of the healthcare market that actually 1604 01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:57,600 Speaker 4: work properly, like you know, elective plastic surgery LASIK, that 1605 01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:00,960 Speaker 4: type of thing, where insurance companies aren't involved, which prompts 1606 01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:05,120 Speaker 4: a lot more providers to enter into the market, It 1607 01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:11,639 Speaker 4: reduces the overhead costs, it creates a competition among providers. Instead, 1608 01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:15,679 Speaker 4: they're just trying to tweak around the insurance company model, 1609 01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 4: the comprehensive insurance model, which is part of what the 1610 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:23,640 Speaker 4: problem was and which Obamacare actually amplifies rather than reforms. 1611 01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:29,599 Speaker 4: And the problem with that is John McCain actually tried 1612 01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:32,559 Speaker 4: to argue this in two thousand and nine, twenty ten. 1613 01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:35,759 Speaker 4: He offered a different He offered a market based plan, 1614 01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:41,120 Speaker 4: and the Democrats, demagogue did into you know, into oblivion. 1615 01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:44,920 Speaker 4: Of course, they had you know, firm control over Congress 1616 01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:46,600 Speaker 4: at that time, large majorities of both the House and 1617 01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,280 Speaker 4: the Senate. They were able to basically dictate things anyway, 1618 01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:51,200 Speaker 4: but at least they put it out there at that time. 1619 01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:55,040 Speaker 4: They've never come back to that, and this is that 1620 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:58,240 Speaker 4: is the actual solution for this. It's the it's you know, 1621 01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:04,000 Speaker 4: health saving his account, catastrophic coverage or hospitalization coverage. Hooppe, 1622 01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:06,519 Speaker 4: you want to frame that and everything else is you know, 1623 01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:11,320 Speaker 4: cash payment through your through expanded health savings accounts and 1624 01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 4: prices will drop, providers will enter the market, You will 1625 01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:20,360 Speaker 4: get better results, and you will eliminate third parties from 1626 01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:23,040 Speaker 4: making medical decisions that really should be between doctors and 1627 01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:26,840 Speaker 4: patients and Ed, nobody wants to stand up for that. 1628 01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:31,519 Speaker 2: Insurance should be for cancer and car accidents and everything 1629 01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:34,040 Speaker 2: else should be handled like the way you handle your mechanic. 1630 01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:37,600 Speaker 2: You need new brakes, you pay for new breaks exactly, absolutectly. 1631 01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:40,600 Speaker 2: Ed Morrissey, hotair dot com.

I have disagreements with Senator Paul, 1652 01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,080 Speaker 2: but I don't have a disagreement here about the insanity 1653 01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:46,280 Speaker 2: of spending and what is it that we're after, What 1654 01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:47,760 Speaker 2: is it that we're all about, What is it that 1655 01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:50,400 Speaker 2: we want?

Most Americans would say, why, why? 1662 01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,240 Speaker 17: Why are we still doing this? A lot of it 1663 01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:14,080 Speaker 17: comes to the National Science Foundation. I think you could 1664 01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:18,240 Speaker 17: eliminate the National Science Foundation and you would know no 1665 01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:21,960 Speaker 17: detriment to that. We spend billions through the ANIH. There's 1666 01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,720 Speaker 17: no real reason to have the National Science Foundation. And 1667 01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:30,200 Speaker 17: most of the really crazy dumb you know, having fish 1668 01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:33,479 Speaker 17: drink gin and tequila and ask which makes them more 1669 01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:37,240 Speaker 17: aggressive in gin or tequila? I mean, everybody knows it's 1670 01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:39,920 Speaker 17: got to be Tequila's crazy. 1671 01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:42,360 Speaker 2: I knew you were going to say that, but I don't. 1672 01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:44,920 Speaker 17: But I don't think that we really, you know, need 1673 01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:48,120 Speaker 17: those kind of studies. Most of them are crazy behavioral studies, 1674 01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:51,479 Speaker 17: you know, Japanese quail on cocaine. I mean, they're just 1675 01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:55,200 Speaker 17: dumb stuff that the average ordinary America would go stop. 1676 01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:59,559 Speaker 2: I understood about whether it was the gin or the 1677 01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:03,960 Speaker 2: tequila for the fish, right, and I would say it's 1678 01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:06,040 Speaker 2: the gin. I don't think that rand Paul has thought 1679 01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:10,280 Speaker 2: this true. But did he just say quail on cocaine? 1680 01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:12,559 Speaker 2: I mean, did that just get said? 1681 01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:16,200 Speaker 17: Most of them are crazy behavioral studies, you know, Japanese 1682 01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:17,440 Speaker 17: quail on cocaine. 1683 01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,840 Speaker 2: I mean, there's just some dumb stuff that I'm pretty 1684 01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:24,439 Speaker 2: sure Japanese quail on cocaine is a new cartoon series 1685 01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:28,840 Speaker 2: written by Quentin Tarantino, prove to me that it's not 1686 01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 2: I'm waiting.
