The sanctuary cities get very upset when 3 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: they lose their money. But shouldn't they lose their money? 4 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they're sanctuary cities. They're in violation of the law. 5 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: They are harboring people who are here illegally, and they're 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: working against federal authorities and federal law to keep them 7 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: from doing their job. I don't even think cutting funding 8 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: is enough. Shouldn't we be throwing people in jail? Tony Katz, 9 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: Tony Kats today. Good to be here, Good to be 10 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: with you.

All they 14 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: do is bring crime and violence. Eights want them, they 15 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: will have to pay for them. Make America great again. 16 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: The question is what's wrong with that. For the record, 17 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: this is what many people voted for, and it's part 18 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: of what President Trump said in his speech yesterday in Detroit. 19 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 2: Additionally, starting February first, we're not making any payments to 20 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: sanctuary cities where states having sanctuary cities because they do 21 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens, 22 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: and it breeds fraud and crime and all of the 23 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: other problems that come. So we're not making any payment 24 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: to anybody that supports sanctuary cities. 25 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: That's what I voted for, and that's what a lot 26 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: of you voted for. That is what Trump supporters voted for. 27 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: And the people who say, how dare the president keep 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: this money from these cities. 29 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: It's vital. It's vital that we follow the law. Why 30 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: should you be rewarded for none? 31 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: Why should we those who believe in following the law 32 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: pay for your desires, their desires, not yours, their desires 33 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: to not follow the law. 34 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 3: That doesn't make any sense. 35 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: We want to know part of this, part of what 36 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: we're seeing here, and it seems so natural to us, 37 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: so rational to us, But it is indeed hugely if 38 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: if you would, revolutionary, is that we're not gonna sit 39 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: here and just complain about the thing and do nothing. 40 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: We're not putting up with this. Now, this is under 41 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: another name, drain the swamp. I think it all fits 42 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: within that same realm Dray and the swamp I always 43 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: took as the way the game is played does not 44 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: work for us, the American citizen, and therefore it has 45 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: to stop. If we have an FBI that doesn't prosecute 46 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: certain types of criminals and only goes after people for 47 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: its political purpose, that has to be drained, and FBI 48 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: agents have to be fired and leadership. 49 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: Has to be switched out. 50 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: So we do the job as it is written, not 51 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: via an ideological lens. If USAID is giving millions of 52 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: not billions of dollars to organizations so leftists have a 53 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: landing place when they lose their other gig and pushes 54 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: out dollars to groups that engage in ideology that go 55 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: against the country, it has to stop. 56 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: So we stop it. 57 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: And the left screams and yells, and look what Trump 58 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: is doing to the institutions, and look what he's doing 59 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: to families. 60 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: And this and that. 61 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: That is how they're enabled to keep the dollars flowing 62 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: through this emotional lens. Now you already know this, but 63 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: sometimes it's worthy to reach people who might not be 64 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: aware of this and really dig in deeper on the subject. 65 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: When it came across this video, Colin Rugg put this out. 66 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: It is a discussion between a ice agent to send 67 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: an ice agent of border patrol agent. 68 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: Border patrol agent and this woman who. 69 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: Is She's wearing a hat and she's got her face covered. 70 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: It's cold out right, so she's got this so she 71 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be on camera. 72 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 3: Now, what's interesting. 73 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Here is these two were having a conversation before the 74 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: camera started rolling. She is white, the Border patrol agent 75 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 1: is black. So yes, we are talking about a white 76 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: liberal woman. 77 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 3: I was gonna have a sound effect here, but I 78 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 3: didn't really. I didn't really have one. Well, right, that 79 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: might work. 80 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: That might work, because as you know, there is a serious, 81 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: serious issue with liberal white women. 82 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: Fun is whole place sucks.

Does that make me? They're 90 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: a little crazy, they're certainly very very dangerous. So check 91 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: this out. This is a conversation about emotion. 92 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 4: Listen, how do you feel about the fact that you, 93 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 4: as citizen, was murdered by ice. 94 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: The way I feel is, I've watched the video on 95 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: multiple offerent angles that feeling. 96 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 4: How do you feel feel here in your heart?

You should feel sad, 100 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: and if you feel sad, don't do it. If you 101 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: feel bad, don't do it. If you feel this, that 102 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: or the other, well then don't do that. Let your 103 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: feelings run your life. I feel I've been betrayed by 104 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: liberal white women. I feel angry that liberal white women 105 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: hate the country more. 106 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 3: Than they love their own children. 107 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm I feel disgusted that liberal white women think that 108 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: their emotions should run the country and not laws. 109 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: That's how I feel. 110 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure about how you feel, but listen to 111 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: that argument, because that is their argument. 112 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: Don't tell me about the facts, tell. 113 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: Me about how how you feel. I feel that maybe 114 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: giving women the right to vote was a bad idea. 115 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: I don't actually feel that way. I just wanted to 116 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: see if liberal women's said would explode just boom boom pooping. 117 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: What does that movie scanners where the heads explode. 118 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, almighty, Maybe I should go with a more 119 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: recent one like Mars attacks. It's how do I feel? 120 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: I feel we should really take a look at the 121 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: nineteenth Amendment and ask ourselves if we did the right thing. 122 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: The Nineteenth Amendment. Suffrage gave women the right to vote. 123 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: Oh again, liberal women. Although I can point you to 124 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: a very amount of conservative women who are like, oh, absolutely, 125 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: women shouldn't be allowed to vote. Oh, my gosh, way 126 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: too emotional. I don't believe that to be true in 127 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: terms of who should vote. 128 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: I do believe that if you run your life via your. 129 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: Emotions and not the facts, you can't properly run your life. 130 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: And I put forth that you cannot run the country. 131 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: And without any hesitation and not trying to be funny, 132 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: allow me to say clearly that liberal women cannot run 133 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: a country at all because they are emotional, and that 134 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: does not lead to good results. Liberal women, liberal white women, 135 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: but liberal women are too emotional to run a country. 136 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: They can't do it. 137 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: They don't have the capacity, they don't have the capability. 138 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: Now you say to me, Tony, what about liberal men. 139 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: Liberal men and liberal women have very, very few differences, 140 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: and as we have seen from liberal men from the 141 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: Jacob Praise, the mayor of Minneapolis, Pee Pooter, judge of 142 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: a former Transportation Secretary Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, 143 00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: as we have seen from them, they can control their 144 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: emotions either, so allow us to expand out even more. 145 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: The liberal thought process cannot run a society because it 146 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: is not based on the law, and the rule of 147 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: law not the rule of man. It is based on 148 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: the rule of your emotions. Your emotions will screw you 149 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: over any chance they get, and twice on Sunday emotions 150 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: and I'm an emotional cat. But it's for my family, 151 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: it is for my country. It is for wanting to 152 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: survive and grow and thrive and leave something to my 153 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: children better than what I had. I don't it's personal, 154 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: but I say to you, and maybe you feel this way. 155 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: The one thing that my wife and I discuss very 156 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: very often, and I hope it is true, is that 157 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: watching how my father did things, watching how I was 158 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: dealt with in many many ways, the same thing true 159 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: with my mother. 160 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 3: The same thing. This isn't about whether there's love or 161 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: no love. That's that's not it. 162 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: What we discussed is man, We really hope because she 163 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: discusses this, my wife, and in her ways, I hope 164 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: we broke the curse. Is that a weird thing to say? 165 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: We grew up in these places that had a lot 166 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: of emotion. Instead of things that could be rationally discussed, 167 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: oftentimes they didn't. Now one could find a place for forgiveness, 168 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: right the concept of well that's just who my father was, 169 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: or well, in those how my mother handled this, You 170 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: can do that. I'm not going to tell you no, 171 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: But shouldn't the next step be how do I want 172 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: to do it now? 173 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,359 Speaker 3: There can be places of over correction. 174 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: I think, well, my parents did it that way and 175 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: they were just wrong, So I'm never gonna do that. 176 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it was just in parts and in places, and 177 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: there's like okay that to know this is maybe a 178 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: better way, certainly a better way for me, And the 179 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: hope is that my kids have something better. Well. Not 180 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: only do I believe that on a very personal level 181 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: where the emotions live, I believe. 182 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: That on a level of the nation, we allowed ourselves 183 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 3: over the. 184 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: Last fifty to sixty, call it seventy years, to go 185 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: so far left, and we allowed education to be controlled 186 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: by the left, and we allowed culture to be controlled 187 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,119 Speaker 1: by the left, entertainment culture, etc. And here's the result. 188 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: We created an entire generation, although it's not the whole 189 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: generation of Marxists, and you could actually put it in 190 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: gen Z and Neil and jen X and boomers. There 191 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: they are, and they run solely on emotion to engage 192 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: division and bring destruction of Western civilization. You better damn 193 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: well believe I'm emotional about that, and I want to 194 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: do something about it. I want it to stop, has 195 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: to stop. Not funding sanctuary cities is smart. They want 196 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: to break the law. I do not have to help 197 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: them with their breaking of the law. Screw them. So 198 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: when they then scream and yell, you're gonna hurt families 199 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: and children won't be fed. You are hurting my kids. 200 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: You want to hear me get emotional. Watch me cook? Wait, 201 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: let him cook. Ah. If only I knew my kid expressions. 202 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: I think my kids are more important than their kids. 203 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: I think, to hell with their kids. Now that isn't 204 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: actually the way one should think. But they decided my 205 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: kids don't matter. That we should fund illegal immigrants. We 206 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: should support illegal immigrants, we should support the devastation that 207 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: illegal immigration does to the country. 208 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 3: Never mind the amount of money. 209 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: We're spending on people who aren't US citizens, because I 210 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: spend money on US citizens first, and they think they're 211 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: good and decent, and I think they are low. I 212 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: think they are indecent. I think they are immoral. Never 213 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: mind that I think they are amoral, and their emotions 214 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: allow them to say to my children, you don't count, 215 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: but somebody else's kids count. And what I know to 216 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: be true when I wake up in the morning, when 217 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: I put my head on the pillow, when I go 218 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: to bed, is that my kids matter. And I don't 219 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: give a damn about their kids. If they are not 220 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: going to do the basics and follow the law, my 221 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: kids come first. Oh, by the way, your kids come first. 222 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: Those who follow the law, their kids come first. And 223 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: those people who want to break the law, and those 224 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: people who want to support the law breakers, their kids 225 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: can wait. I don't know why that's a problem everybody. 226 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: I decided to rank the things, which is really no 227 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: different than what they've done. 228 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 3: But my ranking is logical and their. 229 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: Ranking is emotional. How do you feel I feel that 230 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: if you put the children of illegal immigrants in front 231 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: of children who are citizens of the United States. You 232 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: they are disgusting. The people who do that are disgusting 233 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: and despicable, and I don't want to show. 234 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: Them any respect at all. 235 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: I need them to lose every single election, and any 236 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: candidate they support, I need them to lose, and I 237 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: need to keep moving forward no matter what they scream 238 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: about feelings or emotion. 239 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: That's what I voted for. 240 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: If there is anything that I think most encapsulates what 241 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: the vote for Trump is all about, still, never mind 242 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: any issues or things I disagree with, doesn't matter. It 243 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: is that they want to throw emotion at us and 244 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: try and paralyze us and exhausted by it, and we're 245 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: done listening to it. But it isn't because we are uncaring. 246 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: It is because we are completely caring. We just care 247 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: about something else, and it's actually more important. They support 248 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: the children of illegal immigrants, which is to say they 249 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: support law breaking. We support the children of citizens and 250 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: legal migrants. 251 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 3: People are here legally, people who went through. 252 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: The process, people who call themselves Americans today or hope 253 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: to in the very near future, and we put them first, 254 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: and we don't support anything that tells us our kids 255 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: come in second. Place kiss off with that nonsense. So 256 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: we rank it, and our kids come first, and your kids, 257 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: their kids come second, and you sit there and you 258 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: lecture to us about goodness. No, no, no, no, no. 259 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: How do we feel. 260 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: We feel it's about time we protected our children, and 261 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: we feel like we don't care how you feel because 262 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: you have to lose. 263 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 3: Now, if you would just be normal. 264 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: You'd realize we're right, and then you'd realize you should 265 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: protect your own kids, and you should realize that we 266 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: are a nation of laws, not a nation of emotion, 267 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: and then we can run the country better. 268 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 3: I don't think it means being mean. 269 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it means being violent to people who 270 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: are in the country illegally. 271 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: I don't think any of that's necessary. 272 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: I think it means we have to have a standard 273 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: and we're not paying for that crap anymore. And the 274 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: liberal white women and the emotional liberals who don't like it, 275 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: it's too bad. We've spoken, we voted, that's how we 276 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: worked our emotions through the system. And I want us 277 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: to be victorious. I want them to lose. I want 278 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: to be a nation of laws, not a nation of emotion. 279 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: And I don't think that's too much to ask.

They're allowed 308 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: to get the information if it's given to them and 309 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: not necessarily solicited.

Okay, let's let's investigate that story 321 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: is just dropping today.

If 333 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: I had the help of the FED, it. 334 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 6: Would be easier. 335 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 5: But yeah, that jerk will be gone soon. In addition, 336 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 5: I proudly called for the credit card companies to cap 337 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 5: interest rates are ten percent for one year because. 338 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: They're getting twenty eight and thirty percent of thirty two percent. 339 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: And if you can get twenty eight or thirty or 340 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: thirty two percent, you would too, mister President, What are 341 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: we talking about here, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Great 342 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: to be with you, Jerome Powell. That jerk will be 343 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: gone soon. Man, no love lost. I gotta tell you. 344 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: I still I think I'm accurate the charging him with 345 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: the misconduct and criminal charges are regarding the overruns, the 346 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: cost overruns of the renovations. 347 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 3: I don't think it comes across well. I think it 348 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 3: hurts politically. It's been for a long. 349 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: Time and he's e the corrupt or in competence. So 350 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: on the question of corrupt or in confident, you're right, 351 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: conservatives are criticizing this. I'll take your word that others 352 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: are not. 353 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 3: You don't have to take my word. 354 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 5: What you should do is go out and interview some 355 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 5: people and then you'll find out. 356 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 7: But on this direct question about political retribution, what it 357 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 7: looks like? 358 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 3: Sir, what's your response? I can't help what it looks like. 359 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 5: Look, I've created the greatest economy maybe in history, and 360 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 5: you're seeing that. 361 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: Now you can tell me. I can't help what it 362 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: looks like. Yeah, it doesn't matter. There's a question of 363 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: what it looks like. He's doing the interview there with Tony, 364 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: decouple of CBS, the guy who's the new anchor there, 365 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: the evening news anchor. How it looks matters. Of course 366 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: it matters. It doesn't mean that you still don't do 367 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: it when you need to. But for a guy you 368 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: know you're gonna replace, I just politically no part of 369 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: it moves me like it makes no sense. Now you 370 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: say to me, Tony, your politics don't matter. If Jeron 371 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: Powell's involved in something criminals, shouldn't you charge him? 372 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 5: Yes? 373 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 3: Right, we would agree there. I hear what you're saying. 374 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: Yes, you could have charged him at any time. You're 375 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: gonna tell me that charges also don't get political. 376 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 3: So you charge him. 377 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: You actually have to have it, because if you don't 378 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: have it, it looks political. It doesn't help you, it 379 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: hurts you. So now I ask you again, in Pam 380 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: Bondi's justice department, do you think she has it? Do 381 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: you think that Pam Bondy has the goods on Jerome Powell? 382 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: Does Pambondy have the goods on Jerome Powell? 383 00:22:53,680 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 3: Fifteen seconds? Pam Bondi? Could she get a conviction it? 384 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: Her life depends on it. 385 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: Your final answer, Now, I wouldn't put my faith in that. 386 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: At all. Pam Bondi has showed herself to be not 387 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: able to do the job. And Toto, I'm not saying 388 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: that you don't deal with the guy who's broken the 389 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: law if Powell has you do. This is not a 390 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: defensive Powell. Rather, this is a larger conversation about victory 391 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: and when things happen, how they should happen. So if 392 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: you if you're bringing the charges, you have to have it. Meanwhile, 393 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: there is a lot of audio. There's speaker Mike Johnson, and. 394 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 6: It is Bidenomics that got us into this mess. It 395 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 6: is bidenomics, the outrageous fending levels that drove inflation of 396 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 6: forty year highs. 397 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: You forgot bidenomics, didn't you. Yeah, come on, we all do. 398 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: We use the term every day and we haven't heard 399 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: it in the past year. And now they're bringing it back. 400 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: Why because they're looking for the counter for the concept 401 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: of affordability. Republicans feel that they got boxed in on 402 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: this one, that they got out maneuvered on this conversation. 403 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how to properly describe to them that 404 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: that's not true, that all of the conversation about affordability 405 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: disappears with lower gas prices and lower stake prices and 406 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: more manufacturing jobs. It just disappears. Poof, It's like the 407 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: end of usual suspects. And just like that, he was gone, 408 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: and then verbal Klint walks off and next thing you know, 409 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: the guy is dancing the chat Shaw getting into the 410 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: car and smoking a cigarette and you're like, I didn't 411 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: see that coming. If you haven't seen the usual suspects. 412 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: One must see the usual suspects. That is necessary to 413 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: have a proper life. One must see the usual suspects. 414 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: But this talk about bynomics is to say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 415 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 3: Whoa everything you seeing with the economy. Look what these 416 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 3: people did, that's why prices are up. 417 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 5: Now. 418 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 6: We got to work on it immediately in January when 419 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 6: Republicans took over the Congress, the House, the Senate, in 420 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 6: the White House, and we did exactly what we said 421 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 6: we were going to do, bring down inflation, cut taxes, 422 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 6: and grow the economy. And that's what all the indicators 423 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 6: are saying now. Inflation is going down, gas prices at 424 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 6: a five year low, in the growth rate over five percent. 425 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 6: That would have been unimaginable even the economist, even conservative economists, 426 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 6: didn't think that was possible. 427 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 3: So the inflation is actually holding firm. 428 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: Right, And we should note how it is that the 429 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: left media covers these things. Let me give you here 430 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: it is. This was March fourteenth, twenty twenty three. Here's 431 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: how CNN wrote it. US inflation is still high, but 432 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: it's falling. Last month's consumer price index measured six percent, 433 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: down from January six point four. It's only six percent. 434 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: Isn't that great? No, not at all. Here's how they 435 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: wrote about it just a day ago. US inflation remained 436 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: at two point seven percent in December, underscoring persistent cost 437 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: of living challenges. Everything's rosy, it's six point four to 438 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: six percent, but two point seven is the persistent cost 439 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: of living challenges. 440 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: We understand how the media does things. We being honest. 441 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: People take a look at the fact that when we 442 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: don't exclude food and energy, inflation was point three percent 443 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: for the month of December annualized times twelve. 444 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: That's three point six percent. That is way higher than 445 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 3: you want to be. 446 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: We do, however, feel two things are happening. We feel 447 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: that there is a level of movement to something better. 448 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: And part of that is because besn't the Secretary of 449 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: Treasury and the President listen to us. 450 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 3: You gotta go out and tell your story. So what 451 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 3: did they start talking about? 452 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: What you just heard Speaker Johnson talk about regarding tax 453 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: cuts that because of the one big, beautiful bill that 454 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: got passed in July of twenty twenty five. 455 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 3: You're going to see huge refunds. We gave you tax cuts. 456 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 3: You're gonna see huge refunds and no tax on tips 457 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 3: and this and that and the other, and your mother. 458 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 3: That only has to be realized once. That's it. 459 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: If someone normally gets a three hundred dollars refund and 460 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: they then get a seven hundred dollars refund, that's a story. 461 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: Now I picked a number that was you might think accurate, 462 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: and I think smaller, you might think larger, whatever, But 463 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: I gave what I think is that spread. If someone 464 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: normally gets a two thousand dollars refund and they get 465 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: a three thousand dollars refund, they're gonna say, oh my gosh, 466 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: look at what just befell me. How lucky am I? 467 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: I can't believe Trump did it? And they're all gonna 468 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: end with I can't believe Trump did it. If you 469 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: normally pay ten thousand dollars in taxes, you don't get 470 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: a refund, but because of tax cuts, you pay eighty 471 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: nine hundred or ninety three, let's call it ninety three 472 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: hundred dollars. 473 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 3: You're gonna say better. 474 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: The opportunity for Team Trump for the Trump administration to 475 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: get the upper hand on this economy. I swear to you, 476 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 1: it's freaking unlimited. The left can talk about affordability all 477 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: they want. It's not that it's a particularly bad topic. 478 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 1: It's that the counter exists already in the opportunities. Now 479 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: the opportunities have to come true. And now they're talking 480 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: about it and promoting it, which is what I have 481 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: been discussing, what you've been discussing. You know what has 482 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: to happen now. Now they have to deliver. The price 483 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: of a stake has to go down. Gas has to 484 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: go under two dollars and fifty cents a gallon. Those 485 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: kinds of moves make the difference. Now gas is and 486 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: it is not getting promoted enough. It isn't getting promoted enough. 487 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: Gas nationwide last week was under. 488 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 3: Three dollars a gallon. 489 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: Why are we not doing backflips on this subject?

They were talking about gas prices 492 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: and good news, gas prices are going down and mega 493 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: oh yeah here was this was December thirtieth. Hey, how 494 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: about some good news for those of us hitting the road. 495 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: For the holidays. 496 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 4: Gas prices they're dropping nationwide, and this is for the 497 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 4: fifth consecutive week. 498 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: So Elizabeth Schulzi is here with more. 499 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 7: Elizabeth, good morning. 500 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: Good morning, Milika. 501 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 7: So this is really welcome news for the more than 502 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 7: one hundred million Americans hitting the roads during the holidays. 503 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 7: Gas Buddy says the national average price for a gall 504 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 7: of gas down for the fifth straight week, So it's 505 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 7: now two dollars and seventy five cents. That's down twenty 506 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 7: three cents in one month. In forty states, average gas 507 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 7: prices are now below that three dollars mark. Now we 508 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 7: do tennessee for prices this time of year. That's because 509 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 7: generally demand does go down. People are parked during the holidays, 510 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 7: school is out. Oil production is also up, which does 511 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 7: help keep prices low. Gas Buddy says, we could start 512 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 7: to see prices tick up in about six weeks. But 513 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 7: bottom line for now, cheapest December for gas prices in 514 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 7: five years. 515 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: Okay, so that was December. National average they said was 516 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: two dollars seventy five cents. 517 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 3: As I take a look at it. 518 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: Right now, they are saying that the average price is 519 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: between two dollars and seventy three cents and two dollars. 520 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 3: And eighty cents. 521 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: So two weeks later, still the same, consistently. 522 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 3: Below three dollars. 523 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: We're talking about for regular we're not talking about for 524 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: diesel diesels, about three dollars and fifty cents a gallon. There, 525 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: you gotta be talking about this every single day. Gas 526 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: under three dollars. You didn't see that in Joe Biden's America. Now, 527 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and double check if we 528 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: saw that in Joe Biden's America. But this is what 529 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: I would be saying, you haven't seen that. You never 530 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: saw that in Joe Biden's America. That's totally it. You 531 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: got to go out there and sell your story, and 532 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. But then you have to back 533 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: up the story. And that's what I want to see 534 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: more of. That might be a little bit harder to 535 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: do right now because we don't know the backup yet. 536 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: But we've got certain things like the gas prices we 537 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: should be talking about that. That should be a front 538 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: and center subject all the time. Oh and then of 539 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: course you've got the the the ever popular and the 540 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: ever classic. 541 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 3: We are ms NOW. 542 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: Formerly MSNBC and we're going to engage in the absolute nonsense, 543 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: silly talk that we are known for. 544 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 7: This is this is not the United States of America 545 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 7: that I think even a lot of MAGA voters thought 546 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 7: they wanted. 547 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: Well, that's right. 548 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 8: I mean, the problem for the president is that Americans 549 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 8: understand that this is no longer about immigration. This is 550 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 8: about a secret police force that Donald Trump and the 551 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 8: Republicans have unleashed on American streets and done. 552 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: Sorry Mara Gay from the New York Times, just no, 553 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: it is not a secret police force. They are not 554 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: going after Americans. It's just you wanting to scream Trump 555 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: is a Nazi again in hopes that somebody tries to 556 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: take them out again. We see you. Why don't you stop, 557 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: Why don't you lower the temperature, Why don't you bring 558 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: down the rhetoric? No, no, no, not them, not them, 559 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: same talk. And I want to be clear, I am 560 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: not going to apologize for what I just said. That's 561 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: what they're doing. 562 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 3: If you want to. 563 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: Disagree with ice, go right ahead. If you are disagree 564 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: with tactics, go right ahead. Secret police force. You want 565 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: to refer to them as Nazis, and you want to 566 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: refer to Trump as a Nazi and your hope is 567 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: that somebody harms them. 568 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 3: This is once again the call for a lone wolf. 569 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 3: That's what you did, and you got Butler Pennsylvania. You're 570 00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 3: doing it again. 571 00:33:59,160 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: We see. 572 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 3: Maybe it's my fault. 573 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: I shouldn't be sharing these stories, but sometimes I think 574 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: if I don't share these stories exactly, how would we 575 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: be able to fully understand the level of problem that 576 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: we have in the country. Markay is despicable and once 577 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: again MS now MSNBC shows who they are. Keep it here. 578 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: This is Tony Kats today. So will we see the 579 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: United States engaged in military action against Iran as they 580 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: go about killing protesters? I don't know, Tony Katz. Tony 581 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: Kats today. We've heard the President say he's going to 582 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: take very strong action if they killed protesters. But we 583 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: have a number between twenty five hundred and twelve thousand, 584 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: and as you know, the other day the reports were 585 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: twelve thousand protesters were killed, and then the BBC was 586 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: coming out with a number of twenty five hundred and so, 587 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: as we said, it's hard to know right now what 588 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: number to believe. What we can say is there are 589 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: millions of protesters on the street. There's no doubt that 590 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: the Iranians have people in custody. There's no doubt a 591 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: country that has already engaged in executions. I should should 592 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,720 Speaker 1: say a regime that has engaged in executions would execute 593 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: these people. 594 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 3: There is no question this is happening. 595 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: In my view. The question is the number, and I 596 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: don't have it, and I don't necessarily believe the two 597 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: numbers presented. I would make the assumption that it could 598 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: be somewhere within. But if the president, I'm willing to 599 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: bet has better data than I do, and he said 600 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: help is on its way. He said, if the Iranians 601 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: do this, we'll do that. The Iranians have said if 602 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: you do this, we will attack you, and Trump's like, yeah, yeah, 603 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: we kicked your butt before, we'll do it again. You 604 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: don't scare us. So we're in a place where action 605 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: could happen. What is that action, What does it look like? 606 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: What is the result. The only result that matters, of 607 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: my view is free people, a free Iran no longer 608 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: in Islamic regime, people living their life and choosing their course. 609 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: What kind of hit makes that happen? If any find 610 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: everything at tonycats dot com. I'll catch you tomorrow. Everyone 611 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: take care,
