1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: If you follow me at Tony Katz dot com, I

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: have posted the full speech of Secretary Marco Rubio to

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: the Munich Security Conference, which is stunning. It's incredible. It

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: is a full throat, and not only a full throat

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: of defense of Western civilization, it is stating to the

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: Europeans that we want you to join us in this fight,

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: this worthy one again, this concept to fight. We want

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: you to join us in this recognition that we matter,

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: that we have value, that this idea that we share,

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: these philosophies, these underpinnings that we have matter and we

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: cannot give into these forces that want to destroy us.

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: And if you choose to, well, that's on you. Some

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: people there took this as a sign that they can

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: still depend on the United States. I did not take

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: the speech that way. I took the speech as very

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: much saying you need to be in this fight and

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: we are right there with you. And if you are

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: not in this fight, we wish you the very best.

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: But a full throated defense of Western civilization is good.

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: And the speech was spectacular. If I didn't say hello,

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz, it shows Tony kats today. I forget

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: sometimes now some people were very upset with the speech.

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: You've got people like Representative Acosio Cortez. I put forth

24
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: to you right now that Alexandre Acosta Cortez is not bright.

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: There is no mind at play here. There's a sloganeerring

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: at play here. There is a communist to play here,

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: but an intellect. There is absolutely no intellect when it

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: comes to Alexandria A. Cassio Cortez. Tony, you're just saying

29
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: that because she's a woman. No, she happens to be

30
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: a woman, but she's a stupid woman. I said nothing wrong.

31
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is a stupid man who can't make a cheeseburger.

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: Richard Blumenthal is a disgusting man who lied about his

33
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: military service. Chris Murphy, the senator from Connecticut, the other senator,

34
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: is just a beta male. I have got a lot

35
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: of them. If you ever asked me what I think

36
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: about Steve Bannon, I have thoughts. There are stupid men,

37
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: and there are stupid women. And Representative of cossekort As

38
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: is a stupid woman, and anybody who wants to be

39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: offended by that, that's their problem. I sleep fine, And

40
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: you say to me, Tony, what in the world. Did

41
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: she say that would make you say such a thing. Well,

42
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: let's start here.

43
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: There's a very big difference between whiteness and national like

44
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: your actual culture, right, Whiteness is an imaginary thing. Being

45
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: German is real being Israel, you know, being English. These

46
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: are rich cultural heritages that are based on values, and

47
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: they are so much a part of what make our

48
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: cultures and our societies what they are.

49
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: I have no idea what she said, and neither do you.

50
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: And you don't know what she said because she didn't

51
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: actually say anything. She's not bright. She was asked about

52
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: helping Taiwan. How would the United States help Taiwan in

53
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: dealing with a possible threat from China? Now, I think

54
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: I should take a moment to warn everybody that if

55
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: you're operating heavy machinery, you need to stay focused because

56
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: what you are about to hear. You know what, I

57
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: don't have in my in my sound effects folder here.

58
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't have that from a from I was it

59
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: was it, Billy Madison. What you just said is the

60
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: dumbest saying I've ever heard. I'm I'm I'm giving you

61
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: fair warning. This is representative Alexandria Casio Cortez answering a

62
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: question about Taiwan, would and should the US actually commit

63
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: US troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move.

64
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: You know, I think that, uh, this is such a

65
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: you know, I think that.

66
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: This is a.

67
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: This is of course a very long standing policy of

68
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: the United States. Uh. And I think what we are

69
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: hoping for is that we want to make sure that

70
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: we never get to that point, and we want to

71
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: make sure that we are moving in all of our

72
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation.

73
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: And for that question to even arise.

74
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god. She couldn't answer the question.

75
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: She could not answer the question. Yeah, we don't want

76
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: the situation to arise. The question is what happens if

77
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: it does China moves on Taiwan. What's your plan, President

78
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: Acsio Cortez. That woman wants to run for president. That child,

79
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: that dope be dopey child wants to run for president.

80
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: You think she's smart enough, You think that's that's somebody

81
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: who has what it takes to be in charge. Good Lord,

82
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: that is flat out ignorant. She has never been bright.

83
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: We go back to before she was a member of

84
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: Congress trying to answer questions about Israel and the Palestinian

85
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: She couldn't do it. I'm sorry. Do you want one

86
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: more example of Representative Acosio Cortes's amazing stupidity, because sure,

87
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I do this for a living. I'm here all day.

88
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: You know, we look at what happened in Venezuela, for example.

89
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: It is not a It is not a remark on

90
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: who Maduda was as a leader. He canceled elections, he

91
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: was an anti democratic leader. That doesn't mean that we

92
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: can kidnap ahead of state and engage in act of

93
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: war just because the nation is below the equator.

94
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: Venezuela is not below the equator. I need a moment,

95
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: I need it, I need I need hold on. Sorry, guys,

96
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: AH needed a shot. And if you watch the video,

97
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: I actually took one. What do you what do you do?

98
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: What do you do? And she's still gonna get supported, Oh,

99
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: she's gonna get cheered. Oh she's so crave, She's so brave.

100
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: And you want smart, Let me bring you this moment

101
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: of the speech from Secretary of Marco Rubio, who spoke

102
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: to the Munich Security Conference with strength and with dignity.

103
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: You forget how good he is. This speech, I think

104
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, some of us were already there,

105
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: just sets himself apart. Alexandria A. Cassio Cortez has absolutely

106
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: no way to keep up with Marco Rubio. And Marco

107
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: Rubio was talking about our shared relationship with with Europe

108
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: and talking about cowboys, you know, and this whole concept

109
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: coming from Spain, and she's trying to argue with him.

110
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: Who am I going to believe more? Who would I

111
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: possibly believe more? Representative Alexandria Acassio Cortez could not hold

112
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: a caredl to Senator. I'm sorry, secretary of Marco Rubio,

113
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: she's not smart enough to be in the same room

114
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: with him, I'm assuming because she wouldn't be smart enough

115
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: to find the room. But what Marco Rubio, the conversation

116
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: about Western civilization, the conversation about our shared interest and

117
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: most importantly that we should protect these things. Well, this

118
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: is what made his speech so unbelievable.

119
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: In a perfect world, all of these problems and more

120
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: would be solved by diplomats and strongly worded resolutions. But

121
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: we do not live in a perfect world, and we

122
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 3: cannot continue to allow those who blatantly and openly threaten

123
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 3: our citizens and endanger our global stability, to shield themselves

124
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: behind abstractions of international law which they themselves routinely violate.

125
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 3: This is the path that President Trump and the United

126
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: States has embarked upon. It is the path we ask

127
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: you here in Europe to join us on. It is

128
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: a path we have walked together before and hoped to

129
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: walk together again. For five centuries before the end of

130
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: the Second World War, the West had been expanding its missionaries,

131
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 3: its pilgrims, it's soldiers, its explorers, pouring out from its

132
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,479
Speaker 3: shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires

133
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: extending out across the globe. But in nineteen forty five,

134
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: for the first time since the age of Columbus, it

135
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: was contracting. Europe was in ruins, half of it lived

136
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: behind an iron curtain, and the rest looked like it

137
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into

138
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti

139
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the

140
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map

141
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: in the years to come against that backdrop. Then, as now,

142
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: many came to believe that the West's age of dominance

143
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: had come to an end, and that our future was

144
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: destined to be a faint and feeble echo of our past.

145
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: But together our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice,

146
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: and it was a choice they refused to make. This

147
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: is what we did together once before, and this is

148
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: what President Trump and the United States want to do

149
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: again now, together with you. And this is why we

150
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: do not want our allies to be weak, because that

151
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: makes us weaker. We want allies who can defend themselves

152
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: so that no adversary will ever be tempted to test

153
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: our collective strength. This is why we do not want

154
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: our allies to be shackled by guilt and shame. We

155
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: want allies who are proud of their culture and of

156
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: their heritage, who understand that we are heirs of the

157
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: same great and noble civilization, and who, together with us,

158
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: are willing and able to defend it. And this is

159
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: why we do not want allies to rationalize the broken

160
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: status quo rather than recon wizard what is necessary to

161
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: fix it. For we in America have no interest in

162
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline.

163
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: That is a foreign policy. That line is so good,

164
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: so strong, let me try and give it to you again.

165
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 3: Who understand that we are heirs to the same great

166
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: and noble civilization, and who together with us, are willing

167
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: and able to defend it. And this is why we

168
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: do not want allies to rationalize the broken status quo.

169
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: Rather than the recon wizard what is necessary to fix it.

170
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 3: For we in America have no interest in being polite

171
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline.

172
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Western civilization must thrive. Our plan is to thrive, and

173
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: we invite you to join us in that Europe. But

174
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: if you choose not, to the best of luck. That

175
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: was my take from the speech. I'm going to share

176
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: more of it later. But you hear that Representative Alexandria

177
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: Cassier Cortes will never be able to do that in

178
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: her entire life. She will never give honesty. It will

179
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: never be an uplift. However, if you need somebody who

180
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: will emoji her way into a presidential nomination by screaming

181
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: pay your fair share and tax the rich, She's up

182
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: for that gig. I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony

183
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: Katz today
