1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Line from the Hartbland and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: A White House press briefing is about to take place, 4 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: and there's a lot to discuss. You've got shut down, 5 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: You've got Russia and Ukraine. You have got a peace 6 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: deal that is in regarding Israel Hamas that is not 7 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 2: so much a peace deal. 8 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 3: Am I the only one who's noticed that this? 9 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: Like, how do you have a peace deal if Hamas 10 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: still has control? 11 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 3: Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, good to be with you. 12 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: There's a US plan splitting Gaza in two one' zone 13 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: control by Israel, one by Hamas. So the theory is 14 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: maybe you can't disarm Jimas, so isolate them, will take 15 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: half of it, will rebuild, It'll be fantastic, and Amas 16 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: will be a hellscape and will further show what happens 17 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: when you don't have terrorists in control. When you do 18 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 2: have terrorists in control, the Israelis would say, well, it's 19 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: not Hamas gone, so we'll keep fighting Hamas, but at 20 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: least now they're in a more controlled space. Oh of course, 21 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: the Meti Hassans and the leftists of the world are 22 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: going to scream about. 23 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 3: Apartheid, this and that they don't matter. 24 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: They don't they don't matter, rationality matters. There will be 25 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: Palestinians who live in this area controlled by Isel and 26 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: they'll be like this is awesome. Now there'll be more 27 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: policing in that area. There will be skirmishes in that area. 28 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: It's gonna take a lot of years for you know, 29 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: you've trained people for their entire lives to think that 30 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: Israelis are the enemy. It's gonna take a lot of 31 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: years to get them out of that headspace. This doesn't 32 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: come easy. It's like, uh, North Korea. Christopher Hitchins was 33 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: absolutely correct. You know, in North Korea they think Kim 34 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: Jong Lun is God, and he was talking to some 35 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: radio hosts in radio said that that's wrong. Jesus is Lord. 36 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: And the point that Christopher Hitchins made was tell that 37 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: to the North Koreans. If you only know one thing, 38 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: and the only thing you know is is well, whatever 39 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: it is in the case of Palestinian children, kill Jews, 40 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: kill Israelis, takes a long time to knock that out 41 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: of somebody's head. That's gonna take a generation or two. 42 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: Goes back to the conversation of wandering in the desert 43 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: for forty years, you really think it was because of 44 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: bad directions. It's a conversation about getting rid of the 45 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 2: slavery mindset. You're escaping the Pharaoh, You're escaping slavery. You're 46 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: gonna head into the land of milk and honey. You 47 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: may want to have a clear head. That may be 48 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: far more helpful for you. So it's a very very 49 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: interesting concept of a deal, very interesting and not getting 50 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: much play. So there's a bunch for Caroline Levitt to 51 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: discuss the the as I said, shutdown piece, steal Russia, Ukraine. 52 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the only things for her 53 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: to discuss. 54 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: It may end up being a conversation about Nazi tattoo guy. 55 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: And luckily for you, I do have some Nazi tattoo 56 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: guy theme song music, spring. 57 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 3: Time, bar Hit Loan, Germany, Judge Line, this Hot Beyond. 58 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: This is the story.

It would never have dawned on 65 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: me that I should go look it up. Hmm, I 66 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: wonder what this means. 67 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 2: Uh, the the the platter Nazi tattoo. 68 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: Is it is?

Could I He confirmed that he authored 95 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: a series of Reddit comments that included homophobic slurs, anti 96 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: LGBTQ jokes, and sexually explicit stories denigrating gay men. 97 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: You know what, I think I'm gonna leave it there. 98 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna not wan not share what that 99 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: possibly could be. 100 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 2: This guy is still the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine. 101 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: I favor redistricting, and for that, people like myself who 102 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: favor redistricting are Nazi fascists trying to destroy democracy. I 103 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 2: am utilizing a completely legal political tool that's fate legislatures 104 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: always used. 105 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: I'm just using it now. 106 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: He has Nazi tattoos on his belly while making jokes 107 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: about gay people that are so awful. I can't read 108 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: them on the air. I think the Democratic Party has 109 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: to kind of figure out that maybe these two things 110 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: aren't equal. Maybe the guy with the Nazi with the 111 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: Nazi with the Nazi tattoo is actually the Nazi. And 112 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: maybe the Jewish guy who favors redistricting just favors redistricting 113 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: and you can disagree with him. 114 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 3: But this guy, he's gonna still be a candidate. He's 115 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: still gonna be running. 116 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: And me, you, anybody who thinks like we do, well, 117 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: who knows, maybe we'll just get shot at, will certainly 118 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 2: get lecture too, we'll certainly get called every name in 119 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 2: the book. You start to see exactly how not only 120 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: off base these people are, but how sick and twisted 121 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: the ideology is. Clearly, what this guy, Graham Platner, has 122 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 2: done and engaged in is worse than anything I have. 123 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 2: He has Nazi tattoos, he tells jokes about gay people. 124 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: You can't stay on the radio. I want to readistrict 125 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: which is a legal process. But how do they see it? 126 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 2: Why are you looking at that guy? You're destroying democracy 127 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 2: in Nazi. Once you notice, you can't unsee it. The 128 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: only thing you can do is ensure that those people 129 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: never get power the midterms of November third, twenty twenty sixth. 130 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz. The White House Press 131 00:09:52,960 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: Briefing is coming. This is Tony Katz today. I was 132 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: sharing with the live stream the madness of social media 133 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: these days. And I've talked about it before, but I 134 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 2: used to in fits engage in it, and I was 135 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: wrong because it never it never got anywhere. Very rarely 136 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: did you end up having some kind of rational, reasonable 137 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: back and forth in disagreement is fine, it's the irrationality. 138 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: It's just so just so ugly and so destructive. Tony Katz. 139 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 2: Tony Katz today. 140 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 3: Great to be with you. 141 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: And certainly you could argue that social media is not 142 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: real life, and I used to believe this. I would 143 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: engage here on the show, engage in the live stream. 144 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: I do speak. 145 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: Engagements, no problem, and I do understand that when I'm 146 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: in disagreement with somebody and in an argument with somebody, 147 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: let's say they're not the person I'm trying to convince. 148 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: And this is still advice that I would give anywhere. 149 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: If you are engaged in a we'll call it an 150 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: argument for lack of a better word with anybody. Very 151 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: rarely are they the person you're trying to convince. They're 152 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: dug in their entire raise on debt, is in their 153 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: political opinion, this is whatever. The person you can convince 154 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: is the person listening, because they're not emotionally invested. So 155 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: you want to be I'm a believer of facts, logic, reason. 156 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 2: You want to be engaging in that way so you 157 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: can reach them so they can be like hmm, that's interesting. 158 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: So that's always my approach. That's always the philosophy. But 159 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:46,479 Speaker 2: even with the social media, I would engage sometimes and 160 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: it never. 161 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 3: Really went anywhere. Very rarely was it successful. 162 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: But I will tell you that things are different after 163 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: the assassination of Charlie Kirk because what we have seen, 164 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: and if you're not aware of this, I think it 165 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: should be. 166 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: What we have seen is the excusing of murder. 167 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: We saw this with the CEO of United Healthcare, Brian 168 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: Thompson I believe was his name, murdered by this guy 169 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: who ladies were swooning over, which was you know, uh, 170 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 2: liberal white women. 171 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: Ah. 172 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: He killed the United Healthcare CEO.

I'm like, yeah, 214 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: I don't need this, and it was weird, and now me. 215 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: No question. 216 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: And I have made the argument that your microphone, post 217 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: on Facebook, post on social we can say smaller than mine, 218 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: smaller than Charley's. 219 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: But someone can side I don't like that and decide 220 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: to engage because they have been given. 221 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: Carte blunch by half of America that things that killing 222 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: the people they politically disagree with is somehow a value. 223 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 3: Any thought that I had that somehow on. 224 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: Social media, which I am as a dumpster fire, that 225 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: somehow you could get through. 226 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: To people gone. I don't believe that anymore. I don't 227 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: believe it at all. 228 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: Since I am not as good with the written word 229 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: as I am with being able. 230 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: To speak, I'm going to go where my strengths are. 231 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: The people who want to act as influencers and put 232 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: something out there for clickbait. Right, that's their game. There's 233 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: a financial opportunity. I don't like it, but they're going 234 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 2: to keep doing it. I don't see why I would 235 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: continue to engage with these people. 236 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: Now, someone might say to me, Satni, you're letting them win, 237 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 3: letting who win. 238 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: Every day I show up here, my faces is on camera, 239 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: my voice is on a microphone. I didn't say, you 240 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: know what. I'm so scared of these people. I have 241 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: to leave. I have to stop doing this. I'll go 242 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: sell cars. There's nothing wrong with selling cars. I think 243 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 2: I'd be great and you would totally get the clear 244 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 2: code if I was your guy. I'm saying that I 245 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: think I got to put my time only into the 246 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: things that are valuable, and not into the places where 247 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: people only want to engage in some level of threat 248 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 2: or insanity. Have the places where people can respond, but 249 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 2: don't put yourself in any place where you think you 250 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: have to respond back. And sometimes social media creates this 251 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 2: idea that you need to respond back, and I think 252 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 2: that's what's detrimental, because not only is it madness, the 253 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: responding back gets. 254 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 3: That descent into madness. 255 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: And maybe that's really what it's about that watching this 256 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 2: happen to this country I love in real time, I 257 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: don't have the ability to to fall into the madness. 258 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: I don't have the I don't have the time to 259 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: put into the possibility of me getting crazed. The people 260 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: are already crazy. The thing I need to most keep 261 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: is my head. And I think you do too, Which 262 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 2: how do I tell you if getting things out on 263 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: social media, it's up with to you not to do that. 264 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: I don't actually want to do that, But once you 265 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 2: realize that there is half of the country might not 266 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 2: be a full half that looks at political assassination and goes, well, 267 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: what do you expect? 268 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 3: Well that I have to change. 269 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 2: The way I engage and change how I engage and 270 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: possibly who I engage with. 271 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: I don't want to engage with those people. 272 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 2: Can't win those people over, can't win somebody over who 273 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 2: thinks that killing Charlie Kirk in front of his family is. 274 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 3: Well, what did you expect? What did I expect? I 275 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: expect him to go home for dinner. 276 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 2: It's but this is happening, and it goes to the 277 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 2: overarching that I've shared many times.

The Democrat shutdown is also causing 306 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 4: severe impacts at airports across the country, and one single 307 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,479 Speaker 4: day this week, the FAA had to issue ground stops, 308 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 4: impacting flights at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport and Hobby Airport. 309 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 4: Thirteen thousand air time traffic controllers who ensure that we 310 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 4: all fly safely are continuing to work without pay. This 311 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 4: is egregious and truly sad. Some of them are reportedly 312 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 4: being forced to turn to driving for Uber and taking on. 313 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 5: Other second jobs to make ends meet. 314 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 4: As the Democrats continue to shut down the government, pilots 315 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 4: are calling on Democrats to end this dangerous political game. 316 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 4: The president of the Southwest Airlines Pilot Association called for 317 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 4: the Clean Continuing Resolution to be passed, saying, quote, our 318 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 4: air traffic controllers in the broader air traffic system are 319 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 4: already operating under immense pressure. 320 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 3: It should be. 321 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 2: Noted also that there was legislation today about to air 322 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 2: pay essential workers that was put forth by Senator Ron 323 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: Johnson Wisconsin. Senator Todd Young of Indiana failed fifty four 324 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: to forty five. Three Democrats, John Feederman of Pennsylvania, Ralphaeil 325 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: Warnock and John Assop both of Georgia, voted with the Republicans. 326 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 2: Every other Democrat voted No. They're keeping this going on 327 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: even for essential workers. 328 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 4: Sure when millions of Americans will go to airports to 329 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 4: spend time with their loved ones. 330 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 5: Let us be very clear from. 331 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 4: The White House today, if the Democrats continue to keep 332 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 4: the government closed, we fear there will be significant flight delays, disruptions, 333 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 4: and cancelations in major airports across the country this holiday season. 334 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 4: If Democrats continue to shut down the government, they will 335 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 4: also be shutting down American air travel. The White House 336 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 4: is in constant communication with the air traffic controllers, with 337 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 4: the airline associations, and with them. We urge Democrats to 338 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 4: please pass the continuing Resolution so we can just end 339 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 4: this madness, in this chaos and reopen the government. These 340 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 4: are very avoidable consequences. The unnecessary pain, unfortunately does not 341 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 4: end there. Funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program known 342 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 4: as SNAP, which provides food benefits to low income families, 343 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 4: is beginning to lapse this week in some states. If 344 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 4: Democrats continue to hold Americans but hostage, there will not 345 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 4: be enough funds to provide SNAP benefits for more than 346 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 4: forty million Americans on November first, that is next week. 347 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 4: Democrats are solely responsible for all of this unnecessary pain. 348 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 5: Why are they doing it? 349 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 4: To give taxpayer funded healthcare benefits to illegal aliens, some 350 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 4: of whom are violent criminals. During the four years of 351 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 4: Joe Biden's administration, the Democrats force border patrol to admit 352 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 4: illegal aliens into our country with no legal status. 353 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 5: In minimal screening. 354 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 4: A significant number of these individuals are the worst of 355 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 4: the worst criminals, rapists, pedophiles, murderers, and even members of 356 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 4: the terrorist watch list. Despite having no legal status, parole 357 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 4: and aliens were able to file for work authorization, receive 358 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 4: social Security numbers, and access other benefits like Medicaid that 359 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 4: are meant for Americans. 360 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: And if anybody is okay with that, those are the 361 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 2: people who are absolutely trying to destroy the nation. You 362 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 2: can't allow that, you can't have that, you can't be 363 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 2: okay with it, you can't sit idly buy and if 364 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 2: we're doing something about. 365 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: It, this is what we voted for. This is why 366 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 3: people voted for Donald Trump. 367 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: This right here, putting an end to that kind of madness, 368 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 2: an end to that abuse, because the abuse has to 369 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 2: be ended now. Caroline Levitt going through a host of 370 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants who have been. 371 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 4: Deported, an illegal alien from El Salvador who was arrested 372 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 4: for strangulation, Dui and burgulary, an illegal alien from Mexico 373 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 4: who was arrested for attempted murder. The Democrats' open border 374 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 4: policies allowed these threats into our country, and then they 375 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 4: provided them with free health care. The President and Republicans, 376 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 4: through the One Big Beautiful Bill, implemented a common sense 377 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 4: reform to end this fraudulent scheme. But that's why the 378 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 4: Democrats are continuing to shut down the federal government. They 379 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 4: are trying to verse this and restore taxpayer funded healthcare 380 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 4: for illegal aliens like these. Throughout this shutdown, Democrats have 381 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 4: said this quiet part out loud. Senator Chuck Schumer, the 382 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 4: leader of the caucus that is refusing to open the government, said, quote, 383 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 4: every day gets better as the shutdown continues. Ask the 384 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 4: air traffic controllers if every day is getting better, Senator Schumer, 385 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 4: and they will tell you absolutely not. House Democrat Catherine 386 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 4: Clark said, there are going to be families that are 387 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 4: going to suffer. We take that responsibility seriously. But this 388 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 4: is one of the few leverage points that we have. 389 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 4: Here is a House Democrat who is admitting that they 390 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 4: are using Americans who are suffering as political. 391 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 2: Leverage, and they do admit it. Chuck Schumer admitted it, 392 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: then Kathleen Clark admitted it, and then you've got is 393 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 2: pure Bernie Sanders, as Caroline Leed is saying, if we 394 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: open the government, we lose our leverage. 395 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 3: This is how they see the shutdown. 396 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: Their theory is, we can do what we want, you 397 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 2: can do what we. 398 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 3: Tell you to do. 399 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 2: So when Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffrey says we're willing 400 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 2: to sit down anywhere, anytime with anyone, that doesn't matter. 401 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: They won't do the thing that they have to do, 402 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 2: which go on with the continuing resolution and then engage 403 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 2: in a debate regarding Obamacare subsidies, which I believe President 404 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: Trump is going to extend and take the issue away 405 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 2: from them. I don't want him to. I just think 406 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: he's going to do it. I absolutely think he's going 407 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 2: to make that happen. 408 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 4: Our new media seat, we have Brittany Gibson of Axios Britney. 409 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 4: Why don't you start us off for our Q and 410 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 4: I today, Thank you for being here. Thank you. Two 411 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 4: questions if I nik l I versus we understand that 412 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 4: the President Republicans will not negotiate on ACA extensions until 413 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 4: the government reopens. 414 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: Even when that happens, what does the president think should 415 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 2: be or what are his plans for preventing rising healthcare 416 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: costs from It's. 417 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 4: A very good question, and I'll leave that to the 418 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 4: President to negotiate that when Democrats vote to reopen the government. 419 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 4: When it comes to lowering healthcare costs, the President is 420 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 4: deeply committed to this. It's why he has spent so 421 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 4: much time and effort negotiating with big pharma to lower 422 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: the healthcare costs of prescription drugs. All of you have 423 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 4: been in the Oval Office for multiple different announcements. 424 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 5: We've had these most Favored. 425 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 4: Nations deals with these large pharmaceutical companies committing to lowering 426 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 4: drug costs in this country. 427 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 5: So it's something the President wants to do. In Brittany, one. 428 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 4: More point, I'll just point out the irony in Democrats 429 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 4: holding the government in the American public hostage over a 430 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 4: healthcare system that they created. The healthcare system was called Obamacare. 431 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 4: Why because Democrats and President Obama implements it and Republicans 432 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 4: have always said it's a broken system. 433 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 5: Yes, but they caused. 434 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 4: It, and now they want to shut down the government 435 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 4: to fix it. We need to open the government and 436 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 4: then we can have these very important conversations about healthcare. 437 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: We do need to. 438 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: They keep saying we need to, but I'm not one 439 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 2: hundred percent sure. The Senators don't care what is it 440 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 2: what am. 441 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 3: I supposed to do? Right? 442 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 2: Vote for better people is the answer for sure, although 443 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: I will tell you Caroline Levitt, I don't like the 444 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: idea of looking companies and saying you have to charge less, 445 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: because Trump is now doing that with ranchers, and I 446 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: wholeheartedly disagree with that. Much more to get to, we've 447 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 2: got more of the press conference or the press briefing 448 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 2: with carolineleve at the White House Press Secretary. 449 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 3: This is Tony Katx today. 450 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 4: Of the construction project that took place in those years. 451 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 4: I think sitting here today, we're all grateful for those 452 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 4: efforts and the modifications that happened at that time, and 453 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 4: again in due time, the press. 454 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: Is still asking about the freaking ballroom we're in. 455 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 4: In addition, there will be a big, beautiful ballroom that 456 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 4: can hold big parties and state visits for generations to come. 457 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 4: So it sounds like the answer is, yes, he can 458 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 4: tear down whatever he wants. 459 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 5: And then secondly, I mean, that's not what we're saying. 460 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 4: That's a legal opinion that's been held for many years 461 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 4: and efforting. No, it's something that presidents have done for 462 00:28:59,560 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 4: years and year. 463 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 5: I have some photos here. 464 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: Now got photos because the press thinks that Trump's just 465 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: tearing down DC and now she's quite literally Caroline Levitts 466 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: giving a history lesson we. 467 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's true. We do live in the darkest timeline. 468 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, is so good to be 469 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 2: with you, guys. This is the subject, peace deals, you, 470 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: war with Ukraine and Russia, the southern border, the shutdown. 471 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 3: Hey, the ballroom. Tell us about the air conditioning situation. 472 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 2: Huh is it true that Trump can just tear down 473 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: anything he wants in DC's we are I said, darkest timeline. 474 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: This is just silly and I'm sorry that we have 475 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 2: to suffer through it. Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, good 476 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: to be with you. The White House Press briefing still 477 00:29:59,480 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: going on. 478 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 5: Let's go back to efficiency standards. 479 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 4: I'm wondering if the administration has any further plans to 480 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 4: punish the state. Yes, I can confirm that California gave 481 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 4: this individual license and it is something that the Department 482 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 4: of Transportation has already looked at. The Secretary Duffy, who's 483 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 4: doing a phenomenal job, has spoken on this many times 484 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 4: in the crackdown that the Department of Transportation is taking 485 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 4: on these licenses that are wrongfully being issued to people 486 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 4: who clearly do not deserve to uphold these positions. As 487 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 4: for this case in California, on October twenty second, ICE 488 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 4: lodged an immigration detainer for this individual following his arrest 489 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 4: by local authorities in California on charges, as you know, 490 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 4: of manslaughter while intoxicated in driving under the influence. He 491 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 4: killed three people. And he first entered the United States 492 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two through the southern border and he 493 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 4: was released into our country by the previous administration. So 494 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 4: now ICE has lodged a separate detainer for this individual. 495 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 4: And these tragedies are following a disturbing pattern of these 496 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 4: crime legal aliens being issued commercial vehicle licenses. And so yes, 497 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 4: the Department of Transportation is absolutely cracking down on that. 498 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 5: I'd defer you to them for any specifics. 499 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 2: And I would go a step further. If you don't 500 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: speak English, you can't get a commercial driver's license. 501 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 3: Don't want to hear it. Don't want to hear it. 502 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: And if an illegal immigrant is issued a commercial driver's license, 503 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 2: I think we should put the leader of the BMV 504 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 2: in jail. 505 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 3: And you say to me, but how do you know 506 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 3: it was them. 507 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: Someone has to go to jail, Someone has to be 508 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 2: held responsible. People are getting killed on the roadways because 509 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: people who are incompetent, in cable and don't care about 510 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: our laws are driving getting hired. Now, if they lied 511 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 2: about this and they had fake that and they were 512 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 2: able to do people, I'm not. 513 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 3: Necessarily of anybody in jail for that. 514 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: But states that are proactive to providing illegal immigrants commercial 515 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 2: driver's licenses, the blood's on the hands of Gavenowsom if 516 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: that's the case, any governor or any place that would 517 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: be proactive and allowing this kind of activity. 518 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: Back to the press briefing. 519 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 4: Right now, we sat one of its slowest points in decades. 520 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 4: We heard what President Musolf Petro had to say about 521 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 4: President Trump. 522 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 2: We heard yesterday talking about the President of Columbia, President Petro, 523 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 2: and the relationship with the United States. 524 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 5: From the Colombian president that President Trump would. 525 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 4: Like to see in order to the escalate atentions, Is 526 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 4: it possible, deescalation. I don't think we're seeing the escalation 527 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 4: from the unhinged leader of Columbia right now, and I 528 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 4: don't think the President frankly is interested in that at 529 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 4: this point. He spoke on this yesterday, and I don't 530 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 4: have anything to add to his comments. 531 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 5: Well, go ahead, thank you, Caroline, ballroom and the rose garden. 532 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 5: I'm going to be back. Sorry. 533 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 4: In addition to the ballroom and the rose garden patio, 534 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 4: is the President looking at any other renovations or significant 535 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 4: kind of product, Not to my knowledge, no, But he's 536 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 4: a builder at heart, clearly, and so his heart in 537 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 4: his mind is always charting about how to improve things 538 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 4: here on the White House grounds. But at this moment 539 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 4: in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's 540 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 4: main priority. 541 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 3: Kristin more questions a book. 542 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 4: Last week, President from announced that he had a productive 543 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 4: call with Vladimir Putin. 544 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 5: They scheduled a meeting in Hungary. Since then, he has canceled. 545 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 3: A meeting, and he has imposed sanctions on Rustall Oil Company. 546 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 4: Can you talk about what change that led to this 547 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 4: dramatic shift. 548 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 5: Or even just what occurred in the last week that 549 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 5: got us from point A to point be sure. 550 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 4: Look, the President has always maintained that he would implement 551 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 4: sanctions on Russia when he felt it was appropriate and necessary, 552 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 4: and yesterday was that day. I think the President has 553 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 4: also long expressed his frustration with Vladimir Putin and frankly, 554 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 4: both sides of this war. And he's always said, in 555 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 4: order to negotiate a good peace deal, both sides. 556 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 5: Need to be interested in a good peace deal, and. 557 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 4: He feels as though, unfortunately from the Russian side, as 558 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 4: of late though he has not seen enough interest in 559 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 4: enough action in terms of moving the ball forward towards peace. 560 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 3: And that is accurate. 561 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: That is a I'm just happy to hear a question 562 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 2: that isn't about a freaking ballroom. It's it's ridiculous, it's 563 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 2: just flat out silly. Already, today was, or yesterday was 564 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 2: the day for the sanctions. It could have been a 565 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: week ago. It could have been two weeks ago, it 566 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,439 Speaker 2: could have been three days from now. And I do 567 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: think that's right. 568 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 3: It was just okay, this is when we decided to 569 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 3: pull the trigger. 570 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: We got the answers we needed, We knew how this 571 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 2: was going to play out, we under it, We had 572 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 2: our our talking points ready to go, Okay, do the thing, 573 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 2: do the thing. But seeing that it's not that he 574 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 2: sees that that Putin isn't wanting peace or ready for peace. 575 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 3: It's that Putin kind of you know, did something all 576 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 3: over him. I mean he did. 577 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: Putin had the meeting in Anchorage and then said no, 578 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 2: never mind. 579 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:00,280 Speaker 3: It. 580 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 2: He's rebuffed every single maneuver option, opportunity, and there really 581 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 2: is not a great rationale as for why. But it 582 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 2: certainly shows me that he's not interested in anything ending 583 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 2: anytime soon. He thinks he can fight through it. He 584 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 2: thinks he can move through it. Does he have pheliaz 585 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 2: backup from other nations. If you can't sell your oil 586 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 2: and your Russia, what are you going to sell, your 587 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 2: charming personality, your weather? What is it that you can sell? 588 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 2: And the answer is not very much. So the war 589 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: will continue. But the more that Ukraine gets access to 590 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 2: long range missiles like the UK Shadowstorm, if indeed they 591 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 2: get access to Tomahawks purchase by NATO and given to Ukraine, 592 00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 2: that could change things more to come find out everything 593 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 2: at tonykats dot com. 594 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 3: This is Tony Kats Today.
