1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Lie from Vall Hartliner and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. If I've made the argument that the 3 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Republicans should not do anything regarding the shutdown, Democrats want this. 4 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: They want to put people in pain. They're okay with 5 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: pain to get what they want. Okay, just leave it be. 6 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: That's my take, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 1: be with you. Fox News is reporting that there seems 8 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: to be some kind of movement. Richard Blumenthal, senator Democrat 9 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: from Connecticut who lied about his Vietnam service, says there 10 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: seems to be some indication of a thaw. I don't 11 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: know what I'm supposed to do with that information. I 12 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: don't know why there would be a thaw. What is 13 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: the possible thaw that could take place? The Democratic Party 14 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: has said we don't care how much pain there is. 15 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: They've said it. Now you can say, well, the Republicans 16 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: could stop this. You want them to stop this by 17 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: getting rid of the filibuster. You want them to change 18 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: quite literally the rules of the Senate. I don't mean you, 19 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: I mean them. They want to change the rules of 20 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: the Senate. Republicans change the rules of the Senate so 21 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 1: they can feel that Republicans can end this on their own. 22 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: So this is all about changing rules of the Senate, 23 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: which is to say, you want power, or you want 24 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: a way to be able to abuse power with no filibuster, 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: and you don't care if children starve and die. I 26 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: put forth to you, this is how it should be said. 27 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: Democrats don't care if air traffic controllers get paid. They 28 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 1: don't care if planes fall out of the sky. Democrats 29 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: don't care if your grandma crashes into a roadway. It 30 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: doesn't matter to them as long as they have snap benefits. 31 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: They don't care if your kids starves. They don't give 32 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: a damn. Next, you're gonna tell me that Representative of 33 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: Cassio Cortes cares about brown and black children. No, she doesn't. 34 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: Four years of Joe Biden being president, allegedly, four years 35 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: of border problem, she never once took a photo op 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: at the border caring about and crying about children. She 37 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: doesn't care about black and brown kids. Representative of Casio 38 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: Cortez has never given a good holy damn about black 39 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: and brown kids. Never once, never, ever never, And I 40 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: need Republicans talk just like that. Hey, Democrats, We have 41 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: voted fourteen times for a continuing Resolution. You don't want this, well, 42 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: it'll be there when you come to your senses. We're 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: gonna go give to local food pantries so we can 44 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: help our neighbors. You want kids to die. We think 45 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: you're the most disgusting, low life people in the world, 46 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: and the people who vote for you should feel shame 47 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: every day. But we're out vote for the Continuing Resolution. 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: We can have a country again for you. People are nuts, 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: You're gross. We're gonna go take care of our neighbors, 50 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: but we're not giving in to your terrorist demands. Go 51 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: to Hell in a handbasket. I want Republicans to say this. 52 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: They may see it differently. You've got people thinking that 53 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: there could be a vote that happens. There could be 54 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: a vote that could be happening right now as we speak. 55 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: As we speak, there could be a vote. But we 56 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: should really ask ourselves what it is that's happening here, 57 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: What it is that is the standard practice in these 58 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: kinds of moments. The standard practice in these kinds of 59 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: moments is that Republicans say, please, don't hurt me, and 60 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: then Republicans give in to whatever it is Democrats are 61 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: doing because that's what they do, because they don't have 62 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: the strength, and they don't have the conviction, and they 63 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: don't have the bloodthirstiness. I don't think any part of 64 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: this is fun. The whole thing is awful. I think 65 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: it is reprehensible that we have senators that can't do 66 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: the job. No way that won't do the job, no 67 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: way that don't give a good holy dang about the job. 68 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: They do not care. They care about the power, not 69 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: about you. They care about authority, their authority over you. 70 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: There is no interest at all other than did we 71 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: get what we want and make these other people yield? 72 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: I ask how else could one expect things to change 73 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: if things don't change? And I believe that part of 74 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: the answer is just walk. We've got this here. When 75 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: you come to your senses there it'll be We're done. 76 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: It's like the parent dealing with the kid that won't 77 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 1: eat the dinner. Well, I'm not making anything else. Dinner's here, 78 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: it's on the table. It's only going to get cold. 79 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: That's what you get. There's nothing else. That's it. The 80 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: House passed a continuing resolution. No, I don't like continuing resolutions. 81 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: I want budgets. I want people to be normal. I 82 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: want them to do their job. I can't get that lucky. 83 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: What I have is continuing resolutions. That's the reality. Democrats decided, 84 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: since they voted to have the Obamacare subsidies expire, that 85 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: they would not vote on a continuing resolution so they 86 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: can get more subsidies, and then they'll decide to pin 87 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: it on Republicans as if they're showing the Democrats, look, 88 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: what a strong job we're doing protecting your healthcare. It 89 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: is the Democrats who allowed this to happen. I keep 90 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: reminding people, because maybe they don't know, they voted for 91 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: this in the Inflation Reduction Act to allow Obamacare subsidies 92 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: to end to sunset at the end of twenty twenty five. 93 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: They did this unilaterally. They did this, and now they 94 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: want to blame Republicans. Part of the problem is that 95 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: nobody has walked up to Chuck Schumer in the well 96 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: of the Senate or what he's doing one of these 97 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: TV hits and called him a blanking liar, you low life, 98 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: lying son of a You know what, you voted to 99 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: end the subsidies. You're the one who's doing this to 100 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: the American people. Now, you're gonna starve children so you 101 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: can paint something on Republicans. When it doesn't happen, you 102 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: can go to hell. You and your raw cheeseburgers can 103 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: go to hell, and SOA can your mom. I'm sick 104 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: of you. I'm done with you and the people of 105 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: MSNBC by this bs they deserve every bad thing that 106 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: happens to them, and then walk off. Right if you're 107 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: in the middle of an interview with MSNBC, that's exactly 108 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: what somebody has to say to him. Who cares what 109 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: Schumer does. Let him sit there and sweat and stammered 110 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: and spit and all the rest. It doesn't matter. This 111 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be this way, but this is the 112 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: way they want it. And I do not believe at 113 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: all that there should be an ount given to them 114 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: on the subject. Now, it's weird that I could believe 115 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: this and not be in favor of giving up the filibuster, 116 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: because Trump's argument is the filibuster is the problem. We 117 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: can do a lot of things, We can get so 118 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: many things done. Just end the day filibuster. 119 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: The president get in these modifications that are being made 120 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: to air travel. The other disruptions with the government shut down, 121 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: do you think it's time for Republicans in Congress to 122 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: change their negotiating position at all in one way to 123 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: start making concessions to Democrats. 124 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's time for them to end the 125 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: filibuster and just put everybody back to work. Vote in 126 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: voter ID, vote in, no mail in voting except for military, 127 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: far away military, and people that are very sick. 128 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 4: I'd like to see one day voting. 129 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: I'd like to see, not sixty five days of voting 130 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: from all over the place. 131 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: Noo. 132 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: I'd like to clean up the elections. The border. We've 133 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 4: done a great job. We have a great strong border. 134 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: Now we'd kind like to see new rules on immigration 135 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: that could be fair and good. 136 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 4: You know, tools that you'll never get, the rules that 137 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 4: they're never going to get. 138 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: There's so many things we could put in, including tax cuts. 139 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 5: That we could get, and we could do it all ourselves. 140 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 5: But to do that you have to end the philibuster. 141 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 5: The filibuster is and they'll do it too. They'll immediately 142 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 5: do it. You know, they're gonna What they're gonna do is. 143 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 3: What the Democrats will do is they're going to make 144 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: Puerto Rico a state. They're going to make DC a state, 145 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: and they're going to pack the court. They're gonna end 146 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 3: up with more electoral votes. They're gonna end up with 147 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 3: four senators because of. 148 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 4: The two states, and they're gonna do this one. 149 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 3: They would have done it except mansion and cinema gun 150 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 3: in their way. 151 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 4: They would have done it. So if they're going to 152 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 4: do it, I would do it. I would do it 153 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 4: before then. 154 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: And you think. 155 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: Like Israel, Israel attack FIRS that that attack was very, 156 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: very powerful. I was very much in charge of that. 157 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 3: When is you'll attack the rand first. That was a 158 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 3: great day for Isuel because that attack died more damage 159 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: and the rest of them put together. What I'd like 160 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 3: to see is I'd like to see voter idea. I'd 161 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: like to who wouldn't approve voter id The Democrats. Why 162 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: wouldn't they improve it because they achieved There's only one 163 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 3: reason not. We don't have voter. 164 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 4: Identification and we should have it. 165 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: Did we get rid of the filibuster and one day 166 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: you'd have voter identification. 167 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: You'd only have these things if you had the Senate 168 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: with you. And yes, I wholeheartedly agree. People who oppose 169 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: voter id favor the concept of fraud. It's not that 170 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: the fraud will definitely happen, but they favor the idea 171 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: of it happening. There's only one reason not to favorite 172 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: voter idea. It's that you favor the idea of fraud. 173 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: End of lists. But the larger scale conversation here about 174 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: the filibuster is, if you get rid of the philibuster, 175 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: you only need fifty one votes. You can do everything, 176 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: so can they. The argument back is, Tony, they're gonna 177 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: get rid of the philibuster and you know it. How 178 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: do I know this because you've said it, Tony, Yes 179 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: I have. This is an argument to politics about how 180 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: you think the game gets played, and you're like, man, 181 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: is it a game? Sadly in many ways, even though 182 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: it's our lives, Which is why it's hard to get 183 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: worked up when the Sentate won't do their job. Just 184 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: replace the senators and come up with people who will 185 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: actually vote on a budget. But I don't plan on 186 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: capitulating when I'm treated like a game, When I'm treated 187 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: like a pawn, screw you, Chuck Schumer, you, your whole family, everybody, 188 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: there's no reason to have any respect for you, there's 189 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: no reason to think of you kindly. No harm should 190 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: come to you. But I sure as hell I'm not 191 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: going to count out. You're trying to harm other people, 192 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: You're actually proactively harming other people. Nope, no, wait, no way, 193 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: don't tell me I have to be respectful. Oh to 194 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: hell with you and the people who follow you. But 195 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: when President Trump talks about the filibuster, by the way, 196 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if people are used to me engaging 197 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: in this way and being this direct. You didn't know me, 198 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: probably in my red meat days, and even for red meat, 199 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: I'm still you know, playing it pretty pretty tame. When 200 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: I first start in radio, what I learned is is 201 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: that I'm much better off when I'm talking instead of yelling, 202 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: And so I don't yell anymore and I'm much more effective. 203 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: But sometimes people think my conversation or my conversations is 204 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: somehow weakness. No no, no, no, no, no no no, 205 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: what a misread. Only if you're screaming, are you tough? 206 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: Get bent with that nonsense. But we tried a certain 207 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: style with Schumer and with a Kim Jeffries, and I 208 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: now think we have to change the methodology. We have 209 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: to change the tactic, and a tactic has to be right. 210 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: In Schumer's face, write in a Kim Jeffries face. You 211 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: know that whole confrontation that Kim Jeffries had with Congressman 212 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,599 Speaker 1: Mike Lawler, that that tough guy nonsense. I think we 213 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: gotta get tough guy a member of the House, right 214 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: in a Keem Jeffries face. You got all these cameras watching. 215 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: You want to get tough. Take the swing, kid. You lost, 216 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: you magnificent loser, and you ain't Nancy Pelosi on your 217 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: best day, and now that she's not running for reelection, 218 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: you're all on your own, on your own, on your 219 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: little lonesome on an island. You're gonna drown Hakeem Jeffries 220 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: because you don't have what it takes to swim with men, 221 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: men like Nancy Pelosi, which is going to offend him 222 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: tremendously and going to make me chuckle. Yes, I think 223 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: you gotta speak like that. I didn't want to do 224 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: that two weeks ago or last week, but here we are. 225 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: The political left says, more shut down, more pain. Why 226 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: because we can get a political victory. I think that 227 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: has to be confronted with screw off, Mike drop, there's 228 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: a continuing resolution. Vote for it, don't vote for it. 229 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna go help our neighbors in need. Thank you. 230 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: But back to Trump and the filibuster. Here's the issue. First, 231 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: you say that you could do all these things, but 232 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: you don't know yet whether or not the senators want 233 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: to do all these things. They have to run for reelection. 234 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: Now we can agree we should do X, Y and Z, 235 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: but they are district. I should say their state may 236 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: see it differently, political realities or political realities. Let's not 237 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: deny them. Have you done a whip count? Do you 238 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: know how many votes you have? Do you know how 239 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: many votes you have to get? Meaning do you have 240 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: If you have fifty one, you're fine if you've gotten 241 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: rid of the filibuster, But do you only have forty eight? 242 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: And where are the other three coming from? And what 243 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: is the concession that has to be given? Because we 244 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: live in the real world and I don't believe the 245 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: president has done this. He's throwing out a platitude and 246 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: just just here's the answer, tout um a genius. That's 247 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: not genius, mister president genius is having the votes lined up, 248 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: having the legislation ready to go, and then boom boom boom, 249 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: boom boom, get it out there and sending to the 250 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: House all of these things that the House can then 251 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: vote on. And oh, by the way, has the House 252 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: voted on all of these things? Will they? Two words 253 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: for you, Thomas Massey, two more words for you. Victorious parts. 254 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: You've got Thomas Massey out of Kentucky, got victorious parts 255 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: out of Indiana. Victoria's parts is my member of Congress. 256 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: I have no idea how these people are going to vote. 257 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: So you don't have the removal of the filibuster as 258 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: a panacea. There's a political reality at play. Also, if 259 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: you give up the filibuster, you're saying to the Democrats 260 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: here it is no filibuster. And then, with the odds 261 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: stacked in their favor of winning in twenty twenty six, 262 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: which they are, what have you done? What have you done? 263 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: Mister president? You have to breathe. Sometimes there's a time 264 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: for taking a breath and utilizing your head, and then 265 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: there's a time for taking a breath and utilizing your hammer. 266 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: And I believe on the filibuster, what we need to 267 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: do is take a breath, and I believe on the 268 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: Continuing Resolution. After seeing what the Democrats are clearly in 269 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: favor of and the pain they want to inflict on Americans, 270 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: I believe in using the hammer. There's the Continuing Resolution. 271 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: We're done talking to you. You're a bunch of jerks 272 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: who want to see Americans hurt and killed. To hell 273 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: with you. Grow up, act like men and women, be 274 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: more like John Fetterman and vote for the damn Continuing Resolution. 275 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: But ain't nothing happening until you do. That's the end 276 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: of the ballgame. Now get out of my face and 277 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: go vote. Also, your mom. That's the way it has 278 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: to get handled. I seriously hope they listen to me. 279 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz.

And he's like, no, I'm done. They were 287 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: playing the Jets and he takes off his jersey. He's 288 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: holding the finger up like he's number one, and he leaves. 289 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: He just left the field. That's what happened. It's very, very, 290 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: very weird, crazy story. 291 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 4: Well. 292 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, former NFL wide receiver, extradited from Dubai in 293 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: police custody. NBC Miami with the reporting, brought back to 294 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: the US, booked into an Essex County jail in New Jersey. 295 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: He's accused of attempted murder dating back to a celebrity 296 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: boxing event. He's gonna go from New Jersey to Miami. 297 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: That's why NBC Miami is reporting on it. He's accused 298 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer, firing two 299 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: shots at somebody he had got into a fistfight with, 300 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: and the victim said that one of the shots grazed 301 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: his neck. Second degree attempted murder, fifteen year prison, sentenced 302 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. Fine. I mean, he's got a history. 303 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: Accused the battery of a moving truck driver, domestic violence charges, 304 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: failure to pay child support. Crazy. Crazy, So he played Pittsburgh. Oh, 305 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: he never actually played in Oakland, even though he was 306 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: there New England and then Tampa Bay. I don't know 307 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: why these things happen, meaning that here's a guy who 308 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: has clear talent, worked as hard as he did, has 309 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: all this opportunity in front of him, but man can't 310 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: shake the demons, can't break out, can't I don't know. 311 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: Maybe he saw the world differently. But you shot at 312 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: a guy because you got into a fight. Yeah, you're 313 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: gonna deal with the consequences of that.

Crazy story it is, But I think I 316 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: often think in how many of these stories where people 317 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: like leave it all or go a little nuts. I 318 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: don't know. It's like a Chappelle comes into my head 319 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: and it's like, maybe more to the story. So I 320 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: wonder it looks like he's going to jail. That much 321 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: is for sure. I'm Tony Katz.

It's 328 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 1: about how you actually connect with people who are on 329 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: air in the room. Tony Kats Tony Katz Today, great 330 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: to be with. You find everything at Tony Katz dot com. 331 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: She's asking Tucker Carlson about the Nick Fointtas interview, and 332 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: I thought that his response was somewhat interesting and somewhat 333 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: beyond the pale. The conversation with Ben Shapiro, all of it, listen, 334 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: none of that is the story. Do I think Megan 335 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: Kelly is giving cover to Tucker on his hatred? Yeah? 336 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: I do. 337 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 4: Do. 338 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: I think that she's saying, you know, I'm not gonna 339 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: go after Candace. It's because she's a young mother. I 340 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: think that's all just a bunch of nonsense, absolute nonsense, 341 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: ten thousand percent, no question, nonsense. But she can do 342 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: what she wants. People can claim it nonsense. What I 343 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: take from it is that what people want is to 344 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: be connected. I started doing events a year ago. I 345 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: think I should have done them five years ago. To 346 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: be honest, I know it was COVID, but you know 347 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: my point. I am more and more convinced that what 348 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: is connecting people is the actual connection. There was a 349 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: really interesting story that was told on a podcast and 350 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: I only caught a clip. And everything these days is 351 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: you're on social media and you catch a clip. That's it. 352 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: They put out the clips and hopefully it drags you 353 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: to the other place. But you get enough clips watched 354 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: and you get to build up your que you get 355 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: to build up opportunity, you get to build up money. 356 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: That's how the algorithms work. And it was Mike Berbiglia, 357 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: whose stand up comic very successful, and he was talking 358 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: about Matt Rife and who's another comic outrageously successful in 359 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: these comics who who put out videos of what's called 360 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: crowd work, right. Crowd work is when you look at 361 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: the audience and say, so, where are you from, right, 362 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: and then you make fun of someone's shirt or whatever 363 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: that is. And Birbiglia's point, exceptionally well made, was that 364 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: what's so amazing about crowd work and how these videos 365 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: are being shared and they're blowing up everywhere, is that 366 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: crowd work is what you did when what you do 367 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: isn't working. I thought that was an incredibly solid observation. 368 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: If we take a look at commensation. I'm not mocking 369 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: Matt Rife at all, the guy has created massive success 370 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: for himself, and he has utilized social media well, and 371 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: he has truly become connected with his audience on a 372 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: very very intimate, intimate level. But none of it is 373 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: actually predicated on his stand up routine, which I would 374 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: bet you any amount of money. You know his name 375 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: and you don't know his stand up. But if I 376 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: were to mention Eddie Murphy, I could talk to an 377 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: entire generation about you Ain't got no ass cream and 378 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: people would go, I love that bit. I could talk 379 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 1: about Chris Rock and the Big piece of Chicken and 380 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: people would say I love that. Closer, people could talk 381 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: about Chappelle and they'd probably end up talking about Chappelle's 382 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: show as opposed to The Bird Revelation, which is an 383 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: insane bit of art. I don't agree with everything. I 384 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: used to be much more enamored by what he did. Right. 385 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: It was Equanimity and then on Netflix and then The 386 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: Bird Revelation. And there are things you can do routines. 387 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: His routine about taking this kid to see Kevin Hart. 388 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: You could, you could, there's an actual routine at play. 389 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: His talk about people who are transits, his storytelling. I'm 390 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: just saying that. I think very very very very few 391 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: people in comparison could do that about Matt Rife. That's 392 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: not a dig, that's a reality that what we are 393 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: seeing today, what's getting played today, is different, but it 394 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: goes into the larger scale conversation of what it is 395 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: people want and they want connection, they want to feel something, 396 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: and there is no way for social media to provide 397 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: a feel about anything. It can't do it. Social media 398 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: isn't real. I saw in this Megan Kelly. In the 399 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: clips that I saw of Megan Kelly, people applauded Tucker Carlson, 400 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: and people applauded Ben Shapiro. You figure it out, you 401 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: you don't see that on social media. It's one or 402 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: the other, and it's attacked the other, and it's fight 403 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: the other. I swear to you true story. Every now 404 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: and again I get a wave of new trolls. I 405 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: don't know what goes on. Does it mean that the 406 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: celebrity is going up like somehow you've gotten more popular, 407 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: or does it mean that they have fallen so far 408 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 1: that they've now gotten down to my level? I don't know. 409 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: Right that is humble, Tony. I never claim I'm more 410 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: than I am, but like I now have a troll 411 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: who decided to call me low t Tony. That's his stick. 412 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: That's how That's how this guy gets through a day. 413 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: You know that there is a guy out there who 414 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: does a podcast about me by my show, does a 415 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: podcast about my show. That's their whole day. That's their 416 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: whole day. You see, you start with it, Oh my gosh, 417 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: can you believe I live in their head? Rent free, 418 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: that's their whole day. And you laugh, and if you 419 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: start thinking about it, you realize the horror of that 420 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: that's their whole day. My wife is in my head 421 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: every moment of every day. My children, then other parts 422 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: of family, and then friends, then business, and then my 423 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: thoughts on philosophy and what is it that I really 424 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: enjoy about what it is that I do, and how 425 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: can I do more of it? More of this kind 426 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: of conversation and less of the insane ina and political 427 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: analysis stuff. That is this is where I want to 428 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: be and so where I want to engage in. I've 429 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: been doing these live events. I find myself so unbelievably 430 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: at home. I've developed the presentation, I've developed the system. 431 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: I know what works for me and it's working for 432 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: the audience, and that this is this is where real 433 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: connection is. In doing radio and even doing the live stream, 434 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: there's a real connection. And it's not because I'm looking 435 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: into a camera, looking into a microphone. It's because I 436 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: hear from people. And when I do engage a level 437 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: of sharing that isn't some kind of political talk, but 438 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: rather about who we are, that's when it's most connective. 439 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: And now that's when I most hear from people. Why 440 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't I want more of that? And so when I 441 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: take a look at this Megan Kelly thing and Tucker 442 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: Carlson and Ben Shapiro, and maybe it wasn't the same event, 443 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: maybe it was different events. I thought it was the 444 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: same event. But could people in a room cheer for 445 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: two different thoughts because they appreciate hearing the thought? To 446 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: begin with, it wasn't even a question of agreement or 447 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: a disagreement. That can happen in real life. It cannot 448 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: happen in social media. And the most intimate place in 449 00:27:53,720 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: the world still is radio. It's always always waighs this, 450 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: it is clear, and this is this is so true. 451 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: First of all, I did not realize the amount of 452 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: people who talk back in their cars. I didn't know 453 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: how crazy you look to other people driving by, but 454 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: I mean they're doing it too, they're listening to the 455 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: show too, but you look crazy to them. The level 456 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: of intimacy cannot be under uh under sold. The only 457 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: time I think it gets more so is when I'm 458 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: in the room with these people who have dedicated some 459 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: time to spend it with me. And when I watch 460 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: this from from from Megan Kelly, I I I see 461 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: that what I'm experiencing is true, not just for me, 462 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: but for all of us. We want this, we want 463 00:28:54,440 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: to be a part of this. It's not that crowd 464 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: work is actually stand up. They're different things and barbiglious 465 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: points so stands and I would agree that on on 466 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: a philosophical level, on a on a just respecting the 467 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: art level, crowd work is not stand up. These are 468 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: different things now roasting, whether we're going back to the 469 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: days of Don Rickles or or we we do it 470 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: now in in in today's parlance. Right we take a 471 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: look at Nikki Glazer or something like that, I mean, 472 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: that's that's doing some serious, serious roasting. What she did 473 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: at at the roast of Tom Brady. Uh was true 474 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: art and then to take it to the Golden globes 475 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: and just kill I mean, that's that the elevations she's 476 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: now doing, commercialialing movies, career set, career made done. There's 477 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: common in this, there's preparation in this, and it's different 478 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: from crowd work. It's different. But the reason I think 479 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: the crowd work works, even though Birbiglia's point stands, is 480 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: that it creates a moment of connection, an intimacy in 481 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: the room that doesn't actually transcend the room, which is 482 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: super weird. Eddie Murphy's bit about ice cream, Chris Rock 483 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: and the big piece of chicken, these are these are 484 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: these are bits that that that last Richard Pryor joking 485 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: about setting himself on fire. The stuff of legend. It 486 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: exists through generations and through us because we experienced it 487 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: at the same time in different places. This moment that 488 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: the comics shared with us with the crowd work, it's 489 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: about the people in the room who got to an 490 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: experience a moment that doesn't exist with us. It wasn't 491 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: meant for us. It was meant for them, and maybe 492 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: that means more. Maybe that's that's a sign of where 493 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: these these other generations are that it's it's really about 494 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: room to room creating intimate connections. It's very, very possible 495 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: that those connections are even stronger, although it's hard to 496 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: think that anybody in gen X, for example, can have 497 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: anything but a strong connection to Eddie Murphy through the 498 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: stand up, through Saturday Night Live, through the movies. But 499 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: to be in the room, to be a part of 500 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: the thing that is happening, the exclusivity of that, and 501 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: even beyond all that, the feeling like I was I 502 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: was a part of something, which makes me wonder if 503 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: that's always the way it's been, or do people feel 504 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: so absolutely alone now in so many many ways that 505 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: they're searching for that connection anywhere they can find it. 506 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: And what Rife is providing again not a dig man, 507 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: take the money you do you kitten, is just that 508 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: it's connection. It is that you're in this moment with me, 509 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: you shared in the joke with me, and that's enough. 510 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be for all time. It 511 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be that. We don't do it that 512 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: way anymore. I think it cheapens comedy, but it might 513 00:32:53,880 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: actually strengthen connection. I have never I made the decision 514 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: a few months ago as to do more events, and 515 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: this is the future, and it might mean you know, hey, 516 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: if you were just to have some breakouts on social media, 517 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: you do this, you do that, you can aunetize this. Oh, 518 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure. But I can't force those things. But I 519 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: can connect with more people in crowds small and large 520 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: and provide something not only myself but for them, for you, 521 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: for us, for we, a laugh, a break, an inspiration. 522 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, but watching that people applaud Tucker Carlson 523 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: and Ben Shapiro on at separate times. It's like, okay, okay, 524 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: once again, a reminder that the social media divide ain't real. 525 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: People want to hear an interesting thought and say, okay, 526 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: that was interesting. I appreciate being able to take that in. 527 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: I'll use it as I see fit. They want to 528 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: be part of the laugh, they want to feel that 529 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: they're connected, and honestly, I don't blame them at all. 530 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz. Today. 531 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 6: I'm running for governor to make New York affordable and safe. 532 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 6: We have seen decades of single party rule led by Democrats, 533 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 6: and Kathy Hochel is the worst governor in America. New 534 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 6: York is the most unaffordable state in the nation, with 535 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 6: the highest taxes, the highest energy bills, the highest utility bills. 536 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 6: We also have a crime crisis because Kathy Hockel has 537 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 6: brought us failed bail reform and has embraced the defund. 538 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: The police Democrats. 539 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 6: And after this week Ainsley, when we saw a raging 540 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 6: anti semi pro Hamas communist who wants to raise taxes 541 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 6: and frankly he barely won the majority of New York 542 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 6: City voters, Kathy Hokeel endorsed him and bent the nie. 543 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: She has failed New Yorkers. 544 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 6: So this is a broad coalition of Republicans, Independence and 545 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 6: Democrats who know that enough is enough. We need common 546 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 6: sense leadership to make me New York affordable and safe again. 547 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: Seems to me that Alis Stephonic understood the assignment. As 548 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: the kids would say, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, great 549 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: to be with you. The congresswoman who was supposed to 550 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: be the ambassador to the UN but that did not 551 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: work out, and she gave up her leadership position in 552 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: the House in order to do this, And then the 553 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: White House said, yeah, sorry, we need to keep you 554 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: in the House because we've got a really tight window 555 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 1: there in terms of a majority. And now she's running 556 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: for governor, which one has to assume she's going to 557 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: get a lot of financial backing in doing. But it's 558 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: affordability and Kathy Holkel makes things unaffordable. Is this or 559 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: is this not the lesson? Regarding what we just saw 560 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: with mom Donnie in New York. He ran on affordability, 561 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: he won on affordability. Allegedly, we got to be talking 562 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: about affordability. Well, here it is man that was quick 563 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: find everything. It's onycats dot com. I will catch you 564 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: Monday to one to take care
