Well, I'm so glad to have you. 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: We've got so much to talk about today. 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: Israel, rice wars, people are upset about well, people are 22 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: upset about everything. But we've got we've got senators melting 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: down on the floor, We've got what's going on in 24 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 3: New York City, Before we get to all of that, though, 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 3: I want to say happy birthday to Donkey Kong today. 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: In nineteen eighty one, the arcade video game Donkey Kong 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: was released, and it changed the face of the planet. 28 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: I feel like that is fair to say Donkey Kong. 29 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: I'm gen X, I'm in my fifties now, and Donkey Kong, 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 3: I remember, I clearly remember it being in the arcade. 31 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: The arcade for me was a place I could only 32 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: go when I went to the movies, because there's an 33 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: arcade in the mall, and so you know, the Donkey 34 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: Kong was a really special thing to be able to 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: go to the movies, go a little early or stay 36 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: a little late, head over to the arcade, drop some 37 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: quarters in Donkey Kong if you could get on it, 38 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 3: if you could get on the machine, because almost from 39 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: the beginning there was always somebody competing for that top prize. 40 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: But then I don't know if you guys remember this. 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: They're kind of selling them again. But I got a 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: little tabletop one and I still have it, although it 43 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 3: doesn't work, but I still have it. And I wore 44 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 3: that thing out and I was thinking about I think 45 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: I talked about this last time I was on the show, 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 3: but I was thinking about how we don't have these 47 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: these common cultural touch points anymore. We're losing those because 48 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: of the Internet, social media. The world has become smaller, 49 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: but it's also become a lot more fractured, so it's 50 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 3: hard for us to all be sharing an experience together. 51 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 3: And whether it's a political experience or a cultural experience, 52 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: something in entertainment, or even something as small as video games, 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: these are all really important cultural things because they unite 54 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 3: a culture. They unite us around one thing, one idea, 55 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: even if it's not something we're into, we all share 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: some kind of common understanding. That's why the Constitution is 57 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: so important, and why our enemies always try to always 58 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: try to ignore the Constitution or always try to remove 59 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: it from our education circles. Right we're not allowed to 60 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: educate the kids in the Constitution anymore. 61 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: We have to educate them in their eighty nine genders. 62 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: But the reason for that is because the Constitution is 63 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: the most important common cultural touchdown. It matters that we 64 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: don't teach that to our kids anymore. It matters that 65 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: they don't have to memorize the Bill of Rights anymore. 66 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: All of those things matter. So yeah, I started this 67 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: conversation with Donkey Kong. Great gain and carries a lot 68 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: of memories and is still a cultural force to this day. 69 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: I think most people we got Mario from Donkey Kong. 70 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: Mario's Big with my kids, Mario Kark that's another thing. 71 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: So that brand has remained a cultural touchstone. But in 72 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: the larger picture of things, it really is important that 73 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: we have these shared experiences. So now, how do you 74 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: do that in the era of new media. 75 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 2: You can't. 76 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 3: You can't shut down the Internet, you can't. You know, 77 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: there are some things that are just not going to happen. 78 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: We're not going to go backwards unless, you know, we 79 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: get blasted back into the Stone Age, which is a 80 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: distinct possibility. There's apparently some kind of mysterious object headed 81 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: towards our solar system right now, on a path for 82 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: the moon, so it could happen. 83 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: I don't know. 84 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: But what I'm saying was, we're not going backwards, and 85 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 3: if we want to rescue this culture, and I think 86 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 3: it has this statement that I'm making has tentacles into 87 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: every area. 88 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: And want to talk about that a little bit more. 89 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: When we talk about New York City and Zerani Mamdani 90 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: there running. Because if we want to wrestle back this culture, 91 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 3: which we're doing, we're in the process of doing right now, 92 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: another Sydney Sweeney. We're going to be talking about the 93 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 3: City Sweeney thing, because that's a big. 94 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: Part of it. 95 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: Then we have to create more common cultural touchstone because 96 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 3: right now we are so separated. Sometimes, as evidenced in 97 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: November of twenty twenty four, sometimes these disparate competing groups 98 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 3: come together in a magical moment to form a coalition 99 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 3: to win something. That's what we saw happen in November. 100 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 3: A lot of people across the aisle to vote for Trump. 101 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: But the fact is a lot of those people, many 102 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: of them still to this day, live in separate ecosystems. 103 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: I'm thinking about right now, specifically, I'm thinking about the 104 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 3: Muslim community and the help that they were to Trump 105 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: in the election. Dearborn has the largest Muslim population. There's 106 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: pockets all over the United States, and the Muslim communities 107 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 3: are typically problematic. They're insulated. A lot of them operate 108 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 3: on their own sort of systems of justice. There are 109 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: lots of communities who are trying to establish their own 110 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: version of Sharia law within those communities. 111 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: You've heard about the mosque. 112 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: That's the Sharia community that's being built in Texas, or 113 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: attempting to be being built. So they have their own 114 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: ecosystem of how they think people should be governed. Right, 115 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 3: it's according to their religion, Islam. I'm using Islam as 116 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 3: an example because Islam isn't compatible with Western. 117 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: Values, so it always naturally, that's just a fact. 118 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: And so these now we have these people, and this 119 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 3: is just one example. By the way, you could probably 120 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: use this for many other types of communities, queer community 121 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: or maybe black community. But I'm using this because it's 122 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: the first and foremost in my mind. But now you 123 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: have this situation where there are some common cultural touchstones. 124 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: The progressive shift towards sexual immorality is something that Muslims 125 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: don't really care for. So sometimes you have that, but 126 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: otherwise they're almost encouraged to isolate. And there are many 127 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: communities in America. I'm black, and even I would say 128 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: even in the black community, we encourage ourselves to isolate 129 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: and to create boundaries and borders, and that creates issues. 130 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 3: We saw what happened in Cincinnati, and I'm very concerned 131 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 3: about what's going on. The snapback on race is not 132 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: going to be good for people like me, I don't think, 133 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: but I think it's a natural. That's what I was 134 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: warning about this the whole time. I've been warning about this. 135 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: The snap back is not going to be pretty like 136 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: everyone needs to chill out. But no one listens to 137 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: Kira except people who are tuning into Tony. 138 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: Kats today when she fills in. 139 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: So I guess my point is that the one cultural 140 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: touchstone that we have that is it's a system, it's 141 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: an institution that's in place and we can use right 142 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: now to affect mass cultural change is the public school system. 143 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: That's what the left did, right They infiltrated. 144 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: The public school system and basically took it over with 145 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 3: the teachers' unions, and we've been living out the results 146 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 3: of that ever since. I'm of two minds or I'm 147 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 3: of one mind. I guess about this with two solutions. 148 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: Either take it over or you burn it down. We 149 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 3: either get rid of public education altogether. I'm not sure 150 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 3: how I feel about that, but it sounds nice. We 151 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: either get rid of public education altogether, or we take 152 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 3: it over, because public education isn't just about creating knowledgeable children, 153 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: or even creating good citizens, which I think is a 154 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 3: major function or should be a major function of public 155 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 3: public education. It's not just about creating good citizens, but 156 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: it is also about creating an electoral body that is 157 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 3: unified in their vision for America, in the American dream. 158 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 3: And we don't have a unified American dream anymore because 159 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: we don't sell it to our kids. We only sell 160 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 3: them colonize or white supremacy oppression. It's all we sell 161 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 3: them in the public schools. And so most people in America, 162 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 3: most send their children. 163 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: To public schools. 164 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: So that'd be a great place to start to start, 165 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: reap to or restart creating cultural touchstones. And I think 166 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: you do that using American history and using American values 167 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 3: America or traditional American values, using our constitution. But we 168 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: have to create the you know, the Donkey Kong was 169 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: meaningful to us because it was the only thing of 170 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: its kind in that space. 171 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: We all had to pay attention to it. 172 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 3: That happens every now and again, where something very unique 173 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: and interesting comes. 174 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: Up and we're all paying attention to it. 175 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: But those things are few and far between, and I 176 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 3: don't know that we're going to beat the new media 177 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: on this issue. 178 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: So I think we need to focus on what's. 179 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: Already established and what we can wrestle back to get 180 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: us to a place where Americans share a common vision. 181 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 2: And maybe our American dream. 182 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: Is a little bit different for everyone, or the idea 183 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 3: of how to get there is markedly different for people. 184 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: Maybe that's true. 185 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 3: But there was a time when the American dream, you 186 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: could say that word and it meant something to everyone. 187 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: And now there are people here who claim they come 188 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 3: here for the American dream and then come here and all. 189 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: They do is trash this place, Beau. 190 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 3: Part of that's the immigration failure, right, we don't assimilate again. 191 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: We are denying American citizens the privilege of commonality. So 192 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 3: I think we need to bring that back. All right, 193 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: I think we need to take a break when we 194 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: come back. Let's see what are we gonna talk about 195 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: when we come back.

But when we get back, let's talk about 200 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 3: what's going on briefly in Israel. And we've got some 201 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 3: major world leaders deciding making a pretty big decision on 202 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: the state of Palestine. 203 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: The so called state Palestine.

Israel. 220 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: I know Tony is you know, for obvious reasons, he's 221 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 3: very connected to the Israel story. I must admit that 222 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 3: for my purview of international politics, I always find Israel 223 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: lower on the list, not because I don't think it's important. 224 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: I actually think it's extremely important. I think there are 225 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 3: there are so many nuances to the story, and there's 226 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: so much misinformation out there. I almost feel overwhelmed talking 227 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: about the issue because of course I believe, I mean, 228 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 3: I guess this is not and of course these days, 229 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: but I believe that Israel has the right to defend 230 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 3: itself against what I find to be the savage ords 231 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: surrounding it. 232 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: It's to be totally. 233 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 3: Honest about it, so we all, I don't have to 234 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 3: break down what's going on there, What's been going on 235 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 3: there for two years now, but now a new wrinkles 236 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 3: as Trump tries to push the region along towards some 237 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: kind of peace. The governments of the UK, France and Canada, 238 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 3: so Macron, Stormer and. 239 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: Who's the guy in kit Kearney. 240 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: Have all come out as of this morning to say 241 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 3: they support a free and independent Palestinian state. They support 242 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 3: a Palestinian state. Now, this is a hugely This is 243 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 3: a big deal for leaders of a country to say that, 244 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: because this really is the crux. 245 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: Of the issue. There whose land is that who belongs there. 246 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 3: I believe that the people who have the country called 247 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: Israel belong there. 248 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: That's what I believe. 249 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 3: And then the other people don't seem to be interested 250 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 3: in creating a region that is prosperous. This is all ideological. 251 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: This is something Americans cannot understand. This is another reason 252 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 3: why I struggle to talk about the issue, because we 253 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: have very Western minds about this. 254 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: We have very modern minds about this, and we forget the. 255 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: Commitment to religion, right to the religious ideology that some 256 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 3: people have, that some religions have, and it MUCKs things up. 257 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 3: But this is really a I think this is a 258 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 3: bad move on their part. But I do think that 259 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 3: this is a move against Trump because Trump is winning. 260 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 3: Right now, the news cycle is set to negative because 261 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 3: now that the mainstream media has gotten over this hump 262 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: of the shock of twenty twenty four and uh no, 263 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 3: one seems very interested in the Democrat Party autopsies anymore 264 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: because nothing news happening there. We're going to talk about 265 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 3: what's going on with the Democrats in a bit. Nothing 266 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 3: news new is going on there, so they're not they 267 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 3: don't have any of that to talk about. So now 268 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: they're they're just settling back into what's comfortable for them, right, 269 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: which is Trump Trump Trump. Trump's the worst, big bad 270 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 3: Orange Man, So that that is where they're they're settling 271 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 3: back into this, and so they're not necessarily reporting on 272 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 3: the amazing wins that Trump is getting. But the economy 273 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: is improving, We're closing these trade deals, China's coming to 274 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: the table. 275 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: Trump is appointing federal judges. 276 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 3: He didn't get enough credit for this in his first term, 277 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 3: and he's not getting enough credit for it now. But 278 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 3: we're certainly feeling the sting of federal judges that were 279 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 3: appointed by the left. 280 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: So we know that those are important. 281 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: Positions that can have an effect on the entire American 282 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 3: body politics. So Trump is appointing these people. Again, these 283 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: are things that are not going to come fruition. This 284 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 3: is what makes me excited about this Trump administration. A 285 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: lot of the stuff he's doing now, yeah it's making 286 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: waves now, but it's going to have even more effect 287 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: ten twenty years down. 288 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: The road as it as these moves shift the culture. 289 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of to quite a phrase, there's 290 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 3: a lot of strategy involved in what Trump is doing. 291 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: And I think likewise, it's. 292 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 3: Strategic of these world leaders to suddenly decide they want 293 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 3: to support a Palestinian state. I think that's a move 294 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: against Trump. I think everything is a move against Trump. 295 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 3: I wrote an article for the New York Post yesterday 296 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: and go over there and fight it about the Sydney 297 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: Sweeney thing. 298 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: I said, that's about Trump too. It's all about Trump. 299 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: It's all of it is rebellion. All of it is 300 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 3: a backlash. They're mad at Trump. But really Trump nailed 301 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 3: it was when he was running in twenty four and 302 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 3: he was under all of those prosecutions. They said, they're 303 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 3: not coming for me, They're coming for you. I'm just 304 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: the guys standing in the way. That is true about 305 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 3: this Israel issue too. Not it really isn't about Trump. 306 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 3: It's about us. Because if the American people had fallen 307 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: last November, if we had fallen, that was it. 308 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 2: The world was going to be gone. You understand, these 309 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: people were making. 310 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: Their plans, they were execute them, and we were helpless, 311 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 3: or we felt helpless. The American people were not helpless. 312 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 3: We are never helpless. But they they were planning on 313 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 3: continuing this march into complete dystopia. 314 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 2: That's real it was going to happen. 315 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 3: So they're floundering, they don't know what to do, and 316 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 3: they're angry. They're not just angry at Trump, they're angry 317 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: at us. Well, Trump's not gonna let it stand. He 318 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 3: posted on True Social just after that. Wow, Canada has 319 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 3: just announced that it's that it's backing statehood for Palestine. 320 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 3: That will make it very hard for us to make 321 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 3: a trade deal with them. Oh Canada, I love this guy. 322 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: Oh Man, I love this guy. And yeah, that's what 323 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: has to happen. 324 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 3: We have to leverage what we have to get what 325 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 3: we want, and what we want is a free Israel. 326 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 3: What we want is for the Israeli conflict to stay there, 327 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 3: for them to be allowed to handle their own business. 328 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 2: All right, don't go anywhere. 329 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 3: I'm Crea David's filling in for Tony Kats and you 330 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: are listening to Tony Cats today. Well, welcome back everybody 331 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 3: to Tony Cats today. I just had the experienced a 332 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 3: little earthquake here in the break, nothing too crazy, just 333 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 3: a little shaker, a little bit of a little bit 334 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 3: of a jiggle, just enough to feel like maybe a 335 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 3: really big truck is going by. 336 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 2: Something like that. 337 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 3: Nothing too crazy, but they happen every now and again. 338 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 3: It's this happened while I've been on air before, which. 339 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Is pretty just before what to do. But yeah, just a. 340 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 3: Little shaker there, We're all right, there's a big we're 341 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 3: still under a tsunami warning here. Actually there was a 342 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 3: big underwater earthquake and somewhere off the coast of Russia, 343 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 3: and so there's a major tsunami warnings for Hawaii. 344 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 2: I knew some people who were rushing to get out 345 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 2: of Maui. I guess that was a real mess. 346 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 3: And then our coast here in southern California, we're all 347 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 3: under still even now under tsunami warning. Although I haven't 348 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: seen anything crazy happening. I live close to the beach. 349 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: I haven't seen or heard of anything. A little shaker, 350 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: a little bit of excitement. Well let's get back to 351 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 3: the to the real excitement. What's going on in the 352 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 3: news here. If California happens to break off and fall 353 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 3: into the ocean while I am broadcasting right now, just 354 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 3: know I was. It was an honor to be on 355 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 3: this microphone, and we probably did it to ourselves. But 356 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 3: I do want to get back to this Palestinian state issue, really, 357 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 3: because I just want to play for you a clip 358 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 3: of Trump. I think what he said about it, I 359 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 3: think that this is all that needs to be said 360 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 3: about the issue. He's absolutely right, and I love that 361 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 3: he's on top of this and he's thinking about it. 362 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: So here is Trump on Air Force one being. 363 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: Asked about these world leaders now calling for a Palestinian state. 364 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 2: Go ahead and play that is there as it's all 365 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 2: of pressuring Israel now to come to some sort of 366 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 2: loco cercination. 367 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 4: Well, he's good education. You're rewarding people that you know, 368 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 4: you're rewarding Hamas if you do that, and I don't 369 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 4: think they should be reported. So I'm not in that camp, 370 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 4: to be honest. We'll let you know where we are, 371 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 4: but I am not in that camp here. As If 372 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 4: you do that, you really are rewarding Hamas and I'm 373 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 4: not about to do that. 374 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: Right, He's absolutely right. They still have hostages. This is 375 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 3: something that is never spoken about or showing. When they're 376 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: showing me and by the way, I've been doing this 377 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 3: for sixty years. I'm showing fake images of starving people 378 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: or people that they or maybe the images are real. 379 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 3: Sometimes they starve them they're starving the people, and we 380 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 3: don't hear the fact. 381 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 2: That none of us. All they have to do is 382 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 2: release the hostages. That's all they have to do. 383 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 3: But it doesn't, it doesn't, it can't register with the 384 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: media because they have a narrative. But I think Trump 385 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 3: is absolutely right here. Of course, if you recognize the 386 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 3: Palestinian state, Oh, you murdered twelve hundred people and kidnapped 387 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: dozens of people, hundreds maybe, and here's your reward, which 388 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: is the only thing they want is state recognition. 389 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: That's what they want. But that's not that's not really 390 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: ultimately what they want. This is why they can't have it. 391 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 3: Because the goal isn't to just live peacefully and mind 392 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 3: their own business and create their our own economy and 393 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 3: care for their own citizens. 394 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: That's not their goal. Their goal is into FATA. Their 395 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 2: goal is to completely dominate the glow. 396 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 5: That's the goal. 397 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 3: I think we're gonna have to get way more honest 398 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: about the Muslim threat. 399 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 2: And a nine to eleven. When nine to eleven came, this. 400 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: Is what makes me more and more suspicious about who 401 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 3: was responsible for that ultimately, because at the end. 402 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 2: Of the day, the whole argument for getting into war. 403 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 3: Going to war after nine to eleven was we have 404 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 3: to take the war on terrorism to them so that 405 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 3: it doesn't appear on our shores. 406 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: It has anyway, we didn't. 407 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 3: Have a problem with Muslim immigrants before nine to eleven. 408 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 3: After nine eleven, when we should have been shutting it down, 409 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 3: we opened the door. You know what I mean. 410 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: Just look at the results of the war on terrorism. 411 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: It's made terrorism worse than ever. Maybe that was the goal. 412 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: I don't know. My tempoil head is so pointy these days, 413 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 2: so point okay, So let's go on to all right, 414 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 2: I want to talk about this, let's switch gears here. 415 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 3: But we're still really in the same mode talking about 416 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 3: the complete meltdown of the left when they just can't 417 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 3: get it together. And I've talked about it on the 418 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 3: show before, I've talked about on my podcast. I've been 419 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 3: talking about it ad nauseum, and I'm going to keep 420 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: talking about it as long as the Democrats. 421 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: Keep being idiots. 422 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 3: But these people are so fake, they are so lost, 423 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 3: they are out there in the wilderness. I almost feel 424 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 3: sorry for them. They have no idea what to do, 425 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 3: and so the only thing they can undo. 426 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 2: Is imitate. That's what the enemy does. 427 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: I'm a Christian, right, so we talk in terms in 428 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 3: the church and in the Christian body, we talk in 429 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: terms of, you know, the enemy versus the Lord, the 430 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 3: enemy being you know whatever, all the forces of the 431 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: dark side. I'm not going to get into theology. 432 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: But regardless, the enemy cannot create. Only God can create. 433 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 3: That's why every attack in society is always always boils 434 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 3: down to creativity, being able to create, either being able 435 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 3: to create life. So we push abortion, being able to 436 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 3: create families, so we push LGBTQ. 437 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: Being able to. 438 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 3: To pro create. You know, we push sterilizing kids. Like 439 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 3: everything is designed to split the family, split the. 440 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 2: Means of creation. 441 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 3: So it's no different with the With progressive politicians, everything 442 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 3: they do is to imitate. They can't recreate. All they 443 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 3: can do is imitate and invert. And so the left 444 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 3: now is foundering. They're looking at Trump and instead of 445 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: going which is just blows my mind, but good for 446 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 3: them for being this dumb, because that's good for us. 447 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 3: But instead of going, hey, what are the ideas that 448 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: we have that Americans are not buying? Why aren't Americans 449 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 3: keen on our way of doing things? Why do they 450 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: think our ideas are failures. Instead of doing that, they're going, oh, 451 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 3: Americans just don't see us as strong enough. Well, they 452 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 3: don't see us as So what we got to do 453 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: is got to go on a lot of podcasts and 454 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 3: we got to hire a meme team. That's what Governor 455 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 3: Newsom has done here in California. He's been going out there. 456 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: He's starting to call people names. Go to his press account, 457 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 3: just sit on there. He's got some gen Z intern 458 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 3: named Brandon running it. This kid doesn't know anything, he 459 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 3: doesn't know Newsom's history, so he keeps posting these self owns, 460 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 3: like insulting other politicians, when Newsom himself has done that, 461 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 3: and he has a very deep record of this stuff. 462 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 3: But yeah, go over there and take it's just but 463 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 3: that's his version of Trump. It's just a bad imitation. 464 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 3: So they're all under the impression that the reason why 465 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 3: people split so much for Trump is because they're not 466 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 3: strong enough. They're not putting forward enough strength and passion, and. 467 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 2: So then we get stuff like this. 468 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 3: Don't want to play this clip from Senator Corey Booker 469 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 3: from New Jersey standing on the Senate floor yesterday throwing 470 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 3: an absolute fit about what I mean when you listen. 471 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 3: When you listen to it, I want you to see 472 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 3: if you know, if you can guess why he is 473 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 3: so angry and who he's talking to. Let's go ahead 474 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: and play Corey Booker. 475 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party needs a wake up call. I see 476 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: law firms bending a need to this president, not caring 477 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: about the larger principles that does free speech rights that 478 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: you can take on any client. 479 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: Why are you bending the knee. 480 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: I see universities there should be bastions of free speech 481 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: bending at the knee to this president. 482 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 5: I see businesses taking late night talk show hosts off 483 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 5: the air because they dare to insult a president. I 484 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 5: see people who want mergers suddenly think that they have 485 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 5: to pay tribute to this president. 486 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 2: And one are the very people here elected to. 487 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: Defend the constitution of the United States saying, oh, well, today, 488 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: let's look the other way and pass some resources that 489 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: won't go to Connecticut. 490 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: That won't go to Illinois, that won't go to New York. 491 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: They will go to the states he likes. That is 492 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: complicity with an authoritarian leader who is trashing our constitution. 493 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: It's time for Democrats have a backbone it's time for 494 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: us to fight. It's time for us to draw lines. 495 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: And when it comes to the safety of my state 496 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: being denied these grants, that's why I'm standing here. Don't 497 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: question my integrity, don't question my motives. I'm standing for Jersey. 498 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: I am standing for my police officers. I'm standing for 499 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: the Constitution, and I'm standing for what's right. 500 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: And Dear God, if you want to come up me 501 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: that way, you're. 502 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: Gonna have to take it up with me, because there's 503 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: too much on the line right now in America as 504 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,239 Speaker 1: people's due process rights and freedom right. 505 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 3: He said, if you want to if you want to 506 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 3: come at me that way, then you're gonna have to 507 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 3: take it up with me. Oh really, Senator Booker, because 508 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 3: that seems like what you do when you come back 509 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 3: from buddy. 510 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 2: You gotta take it up with them. What was he 511 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: yelling about? 512 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 3: A bill to fund lease, A bill to fund law enforcement, 513 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 3: that's what he was yelling about. He's yelling at his colleagues, 514 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,479 Speaker 3: calling that bending the knee. You see where they are, 515 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: You see the corner they painted themselves into. They are 516 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 3: so sold out to TDS. 517 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 2: And that's their only strategy now that they did. Now 518 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 2: they are actively battling against the American people. He called 519 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: Trump an authoritarian. 520 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 3: There he was duly elected, overwhelmingly elected. 521 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: That again, they're acting like Trump just sort of tripped. 522 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 3: Into the office, like he was some bumbling old fool 523 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: trying to get up the stairs of Air Force one 524 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: and tripped several times. 525 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: And book I'm president. That's how what happened. 526 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 3: We elected him. He's not an authoritarian. He's the President 527 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 3: of the United States, duly elected. But these people have 528 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 3: painted themselves into this corner and they can't get out. 529 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 3: They have no strategy because they only planned on this 530 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 3: strategy working the Russia hoax. They planned on that working, 531 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 3: and when they and when it didn't work to get 532 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 3: him out, they switched. They just took that and doubled 533 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 3: down on more stuff. So they are the Corey Bookers 534 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 3: of the world. I mean, Corey Booker is the perfect example. 535 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 3: When we get back from break, I'm going to play 536 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 3: you Eric Swallwell next. But these are perfect examples of 537 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 3: everything that is wrong with the Democrat Party. They don't 538 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 3: get it. They think that Americans were looking for people 539 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 3: who yell. They think Americans like Trump because he yells. 540 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 3: Trump doesn't yell, by the way, he doesn't. That's the 541 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 3: Democrat's broken perception of him. I don't think I've ever 542 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 3: heard him yell. He rarely curses, although he does so 543 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 3: more than we've heard politicians in the past. 544 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: But he's not the crass guy they think he is. 545 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 2: He's just bold. 546 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 3: And that's what they don't understand. They think yelling is 547 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 3: bold as it's not. I'll break this down a little 548 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 3: bit more when we get back. Let's go to break. 549 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: I'm Kia Davis Philly and for Tony Katz, and you're 550 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 3: listening to Tony Katz Today. Welcome back to everybody to 551 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 3: Tony Katz Today. I'm your guest host, Kia Davis Philly 552 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 3: and for Tony. Can follow me on exit Real Kiara Day. 553 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 3: This looks like we did have a series of earthquakes. 554 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 3: I told you last segment that during the break, I 555 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 3: had a little shaker here in California, South in California 556 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 3: at the center of Riverside County, which is not too 557 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 3: far from me, and there were actually three a cluster, 558 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 3: a cluster of three, two threes, and a four. So 559 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 3: little anything over a five is when you're really gonna 560 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 3: things are going to start falling off the shelves and stuff. 561 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: But it is always. 562 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: Really, I have to say, as somebody who didn't grow 563 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 3: up an earthquake country, I've only been in California for 564 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty years. I mean that's a long time, 565 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 3: but I didn't grow up here, and a lot of 566 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 3: people don't want to know what's it like to experience 567 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 3: an earthquake. And I have to tell you, I've been 568 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 3: in tail storms, I've been in I've literally been in 569 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 3: a tornado. 570 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: I've been in all kinds. I've been around all kinds. 571 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 3: Of natural disasters, but by far the most disorienting thing 572 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 3: is earthquakes because the one thing you can count on 573 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 3: is the ground underneath your feet, right, and so when 574 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 3: that starts. 575 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 2: Moving and your body and brain are trying to. 576 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 3: They kick into intuition mode, right, They try to right themselves. 577 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 3: The brain tries to write, the body, you're trying to 578 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 3: affix yourself. 579 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 2: But the one thing that's supposed to be stable is not. 580 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: It is. 581 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 3: It's not just that it's scary because of the danger. 582 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 3: It's scary because of the confusion, Like your body just 583 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 3: cannot make sense of it. It's such a disorienting feeling. Well, 584 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 3: another disorienting feeling that's going on in the left is 585 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 3: it's masculinity. They seem to be just completely disoriented by masculinity. 586 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: Over there, I played for you before the break, Cory 587 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 3: Booker standing on the center floor yelling at his own 588 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 3: colleagues for voting for a law enforcement packet. It's as 589 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 3: if the Democrats have decided that because they lost the election, 590 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 3: they're so painted into this corner. I was talking about 591 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 3: this TDS corner. They're so painted into it that it's 592 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 3: they forgot that their job is actually to help the people, 593 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 3: actually to represent the people. You still have to do stuff, 594 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 3: I guess, is what I'm saying. You still have to 595 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 3: do things everybody. You still your your constituents still need things. 596 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 3: There's still you know, bills have to be funded, laws 597 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 3: have to be debated and argued. You're not there to 598 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 3: not work. But there's this It's so absurd. So I 599 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 3: want to play for you next as we go through 600 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 3: the the scrap book of Democrats attempts to win back 601 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 3: the voters they lost. 602 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 2: Eric Swallwell has been. 603 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 3: Doing a series of TikTok videos where he really it's 604 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 3: really Gavin newsom me it really is. 605 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 2: It's more like. 606 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 3: Trying to project this image of strength of but nonchalant. 607 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: I'm a guy. 608 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 3: I'm a guys guy.
