1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This plan is put in place, every single American who 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: has healthcare in the United States will see lower costs 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: as a result, they will see more transparency. All of 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: these proposals that are within the Great Healthcare Plan are 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: incredibly popular with the American people and they will impact everyone, 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: not just a small fraction of those who are within 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: the healthcare marketplace, but every single American will continue to 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: see their costs go down. And I will note that 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: they already are with respect to prescription drug prices. When 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: you look at what the President has done with most favored. 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: Nations, you've seen these big pharmaceutical companies in the Oval 12 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: Office saying that this president and his team will NonStop 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: around the clock pressuring us and negotiating with us to 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: lower the cost. 15 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: Of prescription drugs for Americans. And we are already seeing 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: that to the tune in some cases of more than 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: five hundred percent. And that Trump our X website is 18 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: something that the Administration will be formally not launching very soon, 19 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: so Americans will have access to those lower costs of drugs. 20 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: Lower costs should come via regulation and not via force. 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 3: But neither here nor there. Tony Katz Tony kats Today 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: it's the White House Press Briefing. That's Caroline Levitt who 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 3: is speaking. I'm not sure familiar with everything in this 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: legislation idea, but when it comes to pricing, and hey, 25 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 3: here it is, it's written out, it's transparent, it's it's 26 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: totally accessible, and you're knowing what things are going to 27 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: cost immediately. That is something that's popular. That is something 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 3: that people do want. I think across the board, regardless 29 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: of party, that's something for sure that people want. Government 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: engaging force and saying you'll do this and you'll do that, 31 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 3: and not looking at maybe the regulatory environment that has 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 3: caused these issues. I think that's a great problem. That's 33 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: just me. But it's gonna be popular doesn't mean I 34 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: think it. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 3: a good idea. Capping credit card rates interest rates at 36 00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: ten percent terrible idea. Wildly popular, but terrible idea. Let's 37 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 3: bring a practice the Press briefing if we could. 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: It is like with all decisions, it's a decision for 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: the president to make, and he said to Reuter's in 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: that interview last night that he thinks he'll be finally 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: making that decision in the next couple of weeks, so 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: we will see it very quickly. 43 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 4: There's been some criticism from other governments about Rock and XAI, 44 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 4: the Twitter AI bought and things that's been doing to 45 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 4: manipulate images, including whether that would violate the Take It 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 4: Down Act that the first Lady to support. We've not 47 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 4: heard from this administration on it. Elon Musk says that 48 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 4: they've disabled that. But I wanted to ask you whether 49 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 4: the administration has a position and whether that's something that 50 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: you will be pursuing. Whether the President is talking, mister 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 4: Musk about that. 52 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: Yes, I will talk to the Office of Science and 53 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: Technology and we will get you a firm statement and 54 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: answer on exactly where the administration stands. I don't want 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: to speak on that without speaking with the experts on it. 56 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: Yes, just a follow upon the health care career to 57 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 3: talk the thing about acting as indestry existing conditions. 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: Is there any discussion or inclusion. 59 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: On that issue in the President's spportant. 60 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: The President's plan that he outlined today will have no 61 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: impact on individuals in this country with pre existing conditions. Obviously, 62 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: that's a continued conversation that the White House will have 63 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: with Congress. But that's not the president's intention with the 64 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: Great Healthcare Plan. 65 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 3: Sure, go ahead, thanks Caroline. 66 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 5: Two questions on Minneapolis and then two questions on Minneapolis 67 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 5: and turning on the ICE agent. 68 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: The other on the rioting. 69 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 5: I believe last night there were protesters or rioters that 70 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 5: rifle through an FBI car tow weapons. We had a 71 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 5: reporter in Bdavid Ice who said that she saw a 72 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 5: constant brassman all evening. Can you speak to the rhetoric 73 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 5: we're hearing from Democrat politicians whether they're causing violence against ICE, 74 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 5: as well as some of the headlines we've seen, not 75 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 5: including the full story. 76 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to your first point, I think I've 77 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: addressed that that these Democrat governors and mayors in not 78 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: just Minnesota, but in states across the country are essentially 79 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, they've referred to ICE agents, who again are 80 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: brave men and women. And I would encourage everyone in 81 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: this room, and I would encourage Governor Walls and other 82 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: Democrats who are demeaning law enforcement to sit down and 83 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: have a cup of coffee with an ICE agent or 84 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: a Border patrol agent. These are great, patriotic men and 85 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: women who have families, who put on the uniform every 86 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: day and are following our nation's immigration laws at the 87 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: direction of their bosses, and again at the direction of 88 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: the law. They are simply trying to enforce the law. 89 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: And the Democrat Party has demeaned these individuals. They've even 90 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: referred to them as Nazis and as the Gestapo, and 91 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: that is absolutely leading to the violence we're seeing in 92 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: the streets. If you look at some of the images 93 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: out of Minneapolis last night, look at this vehicle, look 94 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: at what it says. It says f Ice. You have 95 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: these individuals who are putting their middle finger proudly so 96 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: at the camera. Another Ice, a vehicle that was vandalized 97 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: last night by these left wing agitators. People don't do 98 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: this without encouragement from people in power who make them 99 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: feel like it's okay. Here's another one and I'm pretty 100 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,559 Speaker 1: sure this car you can't see. It said the best 101 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: agent is a dead agent, or something to that effect. 102 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: This is despicable rhetoric that we're seeing. And the media 103 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: is absolutely complicit in this violence, because if you look 104 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: at the headline from CNN protests erupt after federal agent 105 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: shoots man in Minneapolis, that is not the story. That 106 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: is not the truth. If you actually want to know 107 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: the truth, you can look at what the Department of 108 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: Homeland Security released, which is that this ICE agent was 109 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: executing a targeted operation against a Venezuelan, a legal alien 110 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: who was unlawfully present in the country, who fled by 111 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: car and then fled by foot. And when this ICE 112 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: agent tried to detain the individual, three more of his 113 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: comrades came rushing out of a house and started ambushing 114 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: and attacking the ICE agent. They used a shovel or 115 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: broom to smash his face in, and so yes, that 116 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: agent had to use self defense and take up his 117 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: weapon to protect his own life. That is what's happening 118 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: on the streets of Minneapolis. That's what's happening on the 119 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: streets unfortunately of these Democrat runs cities and states where 120 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: you have elected officials who are encouraging such such violence 121 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: against our brave men and women. 122 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Absolutely the fact I'm going to get back to 123 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: this x story really quick, because the story about X 124 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: Twitter is how Europe does not in any way value 125 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: free speech and cure Starmer, the Prime Minister of the 126 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: United Kingdom, has shown himself as absolutely opposed to it. 127 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: He wants social media to be stopped. He wants to 128 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 3: be able to have access to people's cell phones. He 129 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 3: does not believe that you have any right to encryption. 130 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: It is the UK that tries to get Apple to 131 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 3: invent back doors into the phone so the UK can 132 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: get into them, which would affect every Apple user around 133 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: the globe. And I do believe that the United States 134 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: has to be proactive in pushing back and saying you 135 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 3: have no oh right to the data of States citizens, 136 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: and we'll fight you if we have to. But this 137 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 3: thing about X and it's AI groc and the images 138 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: it can create. So it came out the other day 139 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: that you can certainly with with AI and with the 140 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: groc AI you can create images, and you can create 141 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: images that are suggestive. And I said, I'd well, what 142 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: does this mean. Well, people were creating images of female 143 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: politicians and bikinis. And I said, okay, hey, Grock, do 144 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: you see this as a problem, like these images could 145 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: be used to harm the reputation of the subject of 146 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: the images. And Rock responded and I'm paraphrasing here with basically, 147 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: someone could do something like that, but we don't think that. 148 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: We don't think Rock should be limited in its ability 149 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: to create them. I said, so you could create an 150 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 3: image of and I mentioned an image and like yeah, 151 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: And I said, and you don't see that as a problem, 152 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 3: And they were like, no, I think that we should 153 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 3: be asking ourselves whether or not that's a problem. And 154 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: so when it was referenced the First Lady and the 155 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 3: Take It Down Act, which is the idea of things 156 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: like revenge, porn and a whole host of subjects where 157 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: people are creating imagery or taking private videos and posting 158 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 3: it and how this affects people's lives. First, we have 159 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: to address it from just a rational viewpoint of what 160 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: kind of people are we? Well, we're gon we're gonna 161 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: utiliz AI to destroy people, to create images of them 162 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 3: and in provocative ways that they never were, to try 163 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: and humiliate or demeanor or really destroy reputation, destroy opportunity 164 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: to destroy reputation. That's that is madness that we would 165 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: think that we should make that easier to do. But 166 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: do we want to be in the business of limiting parody, 167 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: because isn't that also it we've determined that parody is allowed. 168 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 3: I don't know if we're discussing parity here, if it's 169 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: a named the politico in some stage of undress, in 170 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: some specific scene. I think that the question is a 171 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 3: real one, and that question is far different than the 172 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 3: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom saying you can't say 173 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: things we don't like. If I say something about pick 174 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 3: the politico Nancy Mace, Congresswoman South Carolina. If I say 175 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: something about Nancy Mace, I can say anything. If I 176 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 3: create the imagery of Nancy Mace in some type of situation, 177 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 3: Am I know law? Is that still free speech? Or 178 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 3: am I engaging in asland or a libel, a reputation 179 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 3: destruction that's actionable. I think they're two different things. If 180 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 3: I state that Islamists have no place in a civil 181 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 3: society or Western civilization. Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of 182 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 3: the UK, thinks I'm the problem when I've engaged in 183 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: something fact or at least an opinion. He wants that removed. 184 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: He wants you not to be able to enter the country, 185 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: and he has said this to people. He has told people, no, no, no, 186 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 3: it's the the UK has decided you're not entitled to 187 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: a visa. You're not good for you are not a 188 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 3: valuable piece of the public good, or you cannot increase 189 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: the public good, so we're not going to have you 190 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 3: in the country. That's nuts because I mentioned that Islamists 191 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 3: are danger, the world's over because I mentioned that the 192 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: UK has been overrun by Islamists. Because I've stated quite 193 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: clearly that Prince William, who will be King William, will 194 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 3: be the last king of England if he doesn't do 195 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 3: something about this. For that, twelve thousand people who have 196 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: posted things like that if you will on social media 197 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 3: are in jail or are dealing with with with the 198 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 3: police coming after them. But the Islamist themselves, nothing happens. 199 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: That's a problem. That's an ugly guy. The UK needs 200 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: to send him on his way. But should we say 201 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 3: to the technology, yes, you can create imagery that will 202 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 3: damage and ruin reputations, ruin lives, denigrate and demean in 203 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: that way. I do not know if we should do 204 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 3: such a thing. I think we should. I think we 205 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 3: should be shying away from such things. And maybe the 206 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 3: answer is Tony, if you're asking societally what we should do, 207 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 3: maybe you're right. But maybe you can't stop the technology 208 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 3: from being the technology. Maybe you can't decide what it 209 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 3: is that people do with it. Maybe that is the answer. 210 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 3: We will continue that conversation, keep it here. I'm Tony Katz, 211 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: and this is Tony Katz today
