1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Lie from ball Heartbland and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 2: So the Supreme Court is hearing an asylum case. It's 4 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 2: about whether or not you could turn people away on 5 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: the Mexican side of the southern border, whether or not 6 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 2: you actually have to let them into the country. 7 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean, one would argue that this is a rather 8 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: large deal. 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 2: Are you telling me that a country is not allowed 10 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: to say no, you can't come in until we prove 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: who you are, whether or not we agree with your claim. 12 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: We have to let you in first, then decide your claim. 13 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: But by that time they have access to all these 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: other opportunities and so called rights. You and I have 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: already come to a decision. The law is a whole 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: different thing. Tony Kats Tony Katz today. Good to be here, 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: Good to be with you. Justice Amy Cony Barrett is speaking. 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 1: A woman named. 19 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: Kelsey Corkoran, also speaking in favor of those legal immigrants 20 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: claiming asylum. 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 3: Gets to that part next. 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 4: So we take out at the port of entry, when 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 4: we're talking between ports, and the question is what does 24 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 4: it mean to arrive in the United States. I think 25 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 4: you would have to be at a place where you 26 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 4: could in fact across. So if you got up to 27 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 4: let's assume it's a place on the border where there 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 4: is an actual line, identify line, I would say the 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 4: same analysis supplies. Right, have you made it to the 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 4: threshold and you're about. 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 3: To step on. 32 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 5: So anybody at the water's edge of the Rio Grande 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 5: on the Mexican side has arrived in. 34 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 3: Now the border is halfway through the water, all. 35 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 5: Right, so they've got one step short of halfway through. 36 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 5: They've arrived, But somebody who's on the water's edge has 37 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 5: not arrived. 38 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 4: I think that's right. So you're looking at being at 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 4: the threshold of when you're going to cross. 40 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 5: So somebody who's at the fence has arrived in. Let 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 5: somebody step away from the fence has not arrived in. 42 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 4: Well, so the fence, so we're talking about the border wall. 43 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 4: That is, the border wall is entirely on the interior. 44 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 4: So in fact, anyone who gets to the border wall. 45 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 3: They're already as physically president. 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 5: So anybody who's arrived at the fence is in. 47 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 4: Yes, but that's just a matter of geography that they're 48 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: already president. To take the hypothetical though, what if there 49 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 4: was a quarter wall exactly on the on the border line. 50 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 6: They are. 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 3: The analogy that I think of is a stadium. 52 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 4: So I'm arriving at a stadium when I'm at the 53 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 4: entrance going through the turnstile, I probably wouldn't describe myself 54 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 4: as arriving in the stadium if I'm still on the 55 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 4: perimeter making my way to a place where I can enter. 56 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 3: So I don't think someone who's at. 57 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 5: A top of the wall, they're in. But if they're 58 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 5: at the bottom of the wall, they're they're out. 59 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: Oh so now they've climbed. 60 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I'm just trying to understand what it means. 61 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I said, we're going to get these you know, Yeah. 62 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 5: We're going to get case. As soon as we decide 63 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 5: what it means, we're going to get case. 64 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: So as a part, that's Justice Gorsuch. 65 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: And you start realizing, because by way this is all 66 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: happening as I'm going through. 67 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: It, I have not heard that. I'm hearing it like 68 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: you're hearing it. 69 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: Yes, there's going to be a whole bunch of takes 70 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: on the takes. 71 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: About what is in the country right now. 72 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 2: I always took it as a very much conversation we 73 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: had with Cuban refugees. 74 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: What for Drifoot did you touch land? Yes or no? 75 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: But I think that the larger scale conversation is what 76 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: we think of as rights. Does somebody have the right 77 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: to say I'm seeking asylum and therefore they're allowed into 78 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: the country. 79 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: No matter what. So this is a little different. 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: The policy that we're discussing here, or the conversation or 81 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: we're discussing here, is whether or not you could turn 82 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: back asylum seekers before they can reach the border with Mexico. 83 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: So we're having a conversation you and I first about 84 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: what we think this means. 85 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: But the. 86 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: Asylum conversation is if someone's planning to claim asylum, can 87 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: you turn them away at the first, at the quick, 88 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: before they ever get here. I would only ask the question, 89 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: how would you know they're applying and how do you 90 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: turn them away if they're in the you know, if 91 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: they're in El Salvador. You could say we're not taking anybody, 92 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: thank you very much. You could say no, no, we're not 93 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 2: having it. We're we're not doing this day tuesdays in 94 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: alternating thursdays. Don't forget to make an appointment with my 95 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 2: secretary that's also possible. What the immigrants' rights groups and 96 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: asylum seekers are saying is that this is contrary, it's 97 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: counter to federal immigration law and thus created a humanitarian 98 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: crisis in Mexico. I must admit that on a personal level, 99 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 2: I don't care about the humanitarian crisises crises, crisises crises 100 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: in Mexico because they don't seem to give a good 101 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: holy damn about anything they do to us. What about 102 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: the humanitarian crisis that Mexico created for us by not 103 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 2: being willing to stop people at their water's edge crossing 104 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: into Mexico. 105 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: They said, America's. 106 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: That way, go on, go on, see you there, goye bye, 107 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 2: thank you for coming. 108 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: What about what they did? Now? 109 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: I'm maybe a little stronger than this than others. I 110 00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: still believe they need to be held wholly accountable. But 111 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: it's an interesting, interesting case about whether or not. 112 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: You can. 113 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: Tell people no before they've entered the US. Do you 114 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: have to enter the US to be the asylum seeker? Anyway, 115 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: back to Neil Gorsach here, who was making some commentaries practical. 116 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 4: Matter that's not going to be a concern because the 117 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 4: wall is in fact with determinator, a hypothetical wall that 118 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 4: was on the line and a person had kind of 119 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 4: gotten to the top. 120 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 3: And was about to fall over. I guess potentially, how. 121 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 5: Come somebody who's in the line isn't in I mean, 122 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 5: if the whole point is to make sure that people 123 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 5: are attempting to get into the country have the opportunity 124 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 5: to file asylum claims, and they've made it all the way, 125 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 5: why doesn't matter he's second in line. 126 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 3: I think that's just a function of arriving. 127 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 5: In debate boils down to the one person who's at 128 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 5: the port, the one person who's at the front of 129 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 5: the line. 130 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's because I think it's sport. 131 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 5: So the rest of the case, you agree with the 132 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 5: government on everybody else in the line. Everybody else who's 133 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 5: being metered doesn't have an asylum claim. 134 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: Just the person who's. 135 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 4: They have an asylum claim, they have to get up 136 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: to the border to present it. Now, I think maybe 137 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 4: the question is if the government was stopping people from 138 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 4: getting physically to. 139 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: The line, because if you're waiting in line. 140 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: And you just decide to abandon waiting and you don't 141 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 4: actually make it to the Oh no, no, no. 142 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 5: These these people want to make these claims. They're there 143 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 5: and they're being metered, and they're told no, not today. 144 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 5: And you're saying, the person who's made it up to 145 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 5: the inspection officer gets to make that claim, and everybody 146 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 5: else who's been waiting there, maybe for hours or days doesn't. 147 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: Well, they just then once they get up there can 148 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: make the claim. 149 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 5: They have to get up there. 150 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: Now. 151 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: I think that people are going to be taking a 152 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: look at that from Gorza and saying this that was 153 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: a punch that the immigrant rights people are not prepared 154 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: to take. 155 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: So this idea of metering, as you. 156 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: Heard Justice Gortious Gorsic stated, this is a policy that 157 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: came into place going back about a decade regarding Haitian 158 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: migrants outside of a port of entry in San Diego. 159 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: A nice writeup about this over at SCOTUSblog dot com. 160 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: Officials from Customs and Border Patrol would stand along the 161 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: US Mexico border and turn back non citizens who did 162 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: not have valid travel documents, including asylum seekers, before they 163 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 2: could enter the United States, and in twenty seventeen that 164 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 2: got extended to all ports of entry across the border, 165 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: formalized in a memorandum in twenty eighteen, so people sooned 166 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: to change that policy. Twenty twenty four, US Court of 167 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: Appeals to the Ninth Circuit ruled that for the purposes 168 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: of being able to apply for asylum under federal immigration law, 169 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 2: non citizens this is how it's written, who were turned 170 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: away from ports of entry before they could enter the 171 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: United States had arrived in the country, and the judge 172 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: Michelle Friedland wrote, the phrase physically president in the United 173 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 2: States encompasses non citizens within our borders, and the phrase 174 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: arrives in the United States encompasses those who encounter officials 175 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: at the border, whichever side of the border they are 176 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: standing on. Well, that would mean that the Ninth Circuit 177 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: Court of Appeals just moved where the border is. They 178 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: just made that pretty expansive. So now we're kind of 179 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: getting into the nitty gritty of what this case is 180 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: all about. If I were to engage this in the 181 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton parlance, I think this is about the question 182 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 2: of what the definition of the word is is. And 183 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: so we go back to what Gorsich just said. I mean, 184 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: I'm sharing it with you as it was happening, and 185 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: you realize Gorsics just took the the the argument being 186 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: made by these people. This attorney for immigrant rights organizations 187 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 2: as Kelsey Corkoran and said, your argument is the person 188 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: at the front of the line speaking to the border 189 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 2: patrol entry person. That person is in everybody else isn't. 190 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 2: That's that's that's the claim. That's how you're making the argument. 191 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 2: And I think this is that that's going to be 192 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: a very difficult thing to return from. Just like we 193 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: saw with mail in balloting yesterday, how is the court 194 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: looking at mail in balloting, which is not whether or 195 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: not male in balliding. 196 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: Can exist, but rather mail in balliding? 197 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 2: And how how many days after an election day can 198 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 2: votes be counted? 199 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: Can you keep accepting these mail in ballots? And it's 200 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: very much. 201 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: Seems that the argument day is election day is the day, 202 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 2: and is also counted on the day, not afterwards. We 203 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: count on election day, So why would we ever allow 204 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: the Mississippi rule that says for five days afterwards that's 205 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: not election day? Election day is the day. I'm almost, 206 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: at least for Gorsage, I'm a believer it's going down 207 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: the same road, which is why would we think that 208 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: somehow somebody who isn't in the country is in the country, 209 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: should be treated like in the country, get the benefits 210 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: of being in the country, and allowed to claim asylum. 211 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: That somehow we have to make an action in their 212 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: favor and in their stead. It would very much seem 213 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: that that's not in the country. Only in the country. 214 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: Is in the country. This is going to be an 215 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: interesting case. We will follow it. Meanwhile, I hear about 216 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 2: some kind of deal with Iran, but uh i, uh, 217 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: I don't even know how that's possible, because who the 218 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: bloody hell is running around right now? 219 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: Keep it here. 220 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today. So there 221 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: is a secret Facebook group. I do not believe I 222 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: am in any secret Facebook groups. I've been in groups, 223 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: right Maybe there page was private, but it wasn't. 224 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: It wasn't being secret. 225 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a thing, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today certainly 226 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: not secret for the nefarious purpose. As opposed to this 227 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: connection to Rashida Talib. Rashida Talib was a member of 228 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: a secret Facebook group. As reported by Fox News, the 229 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: group has members that glamorize hamas. 230 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,479 Speaker 1: And we're thrilled with what happened. On October seventh. 231 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 2: The founder of the group is a guy by the 232 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 2: name of maahar abdel Katter ties to Rashida Talib, the 233 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: Bigot from Michigan, member of Congress. 234 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: And as a Holocaust denier. 235 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: The group is called the Palestinian American Congress. 236 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: They have posts such as. 237 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 2: We don't want to throw you in the sea, We 238 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 2: want you to ride it back from where you came. 239 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: Okay. 240 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: Another post talks about the achievements of resistance in Northern 241 00:13:50,840 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: Occupied Palestine, which refers to dead Israeli soldiers Northern Occupied Palestine. 242 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: We all understand that there is no Palestine. 243 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: That this is all just a gross, gross bit of 244 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: a pseudo intellectual propaganda that works very well on a 245 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: people of. 246 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: Willing intellect. Is that a nice way to say that. 247 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: If you view everything in your world as oppressed and oppressor, right, 248 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: which is just like a ninety is Barack Obama called it, 249 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: it's the proletariat and bourgeoisie. It's all Marxism. Someone is 250 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: being oppressed, so therefore someone's oppressing them. Well, that's how 251 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: they view is one of the Palestinians. Palestinians are brown. 252 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: Have you ever taken a look in at Israeli? 253 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: Oh? No, no, they're white. 254 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: There, clearly forget it. Let's not, let's not, let's not. 255 00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: But this is the group, this is what they support, support, 256 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: They support Hamas, they support the terrorism. 257 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: They're fine with it. Rashida Talib is a part of it. 258 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: I think Rashida Talib being connected to it, whether she 259 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: was an active participant or not, I cannot answer. 260 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: I think her being a part of it, connected to 261 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: it is the most unsurprising. 262 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: Thing in all of politics, in all of America. Do 263 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: we have to actually ask ourselves whether or not she. 264 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: Is a bigot? We don't have to ask. Do we 265 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: have to ask ourselves whether or not Ilhano Mar is 266 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: a bigot? Absolutely not. 267 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: Do we have to ask ourselves whether people like Congressman 268 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: Andre Carson, who supports Rashida Talib and calls him his sister, 269 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: do we have to question whether or not these people 270 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: are bigoted, whether it's not these people are hateful, whether 271 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: or not what they want is full on destruction. 272 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: We don't have to It doesn't have to be asked. 273 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: I don't care where you are in Israel, doesn't mean anything. 274 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: We're talking about these people, We're talking about the cheering. 275 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: On of Hamas. 276 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: Wherever you are on Israel, they're cheering a terrorist organization. Now, 277 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: if you find yourself, if anybody finds themselves cheering a 278 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: terrorist organization, lots a that's a whole different thing, because 279 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: I don't think one should cheer terrorist organizations. Now, somebody 280 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: out there is going to be of such a little 281 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: mind that they are are going to say, well, what 282 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: about America? What about America? America is a terrorist organization. 283 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: And at that. 284 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 2: Moment you smile and say, from now on, we don't 285 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: invite Uncle Jimmy to Thanksgiving because it's embarrassing. It's absolutely embarrassing. 286 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: Her being a part of this group is everything everything 287 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: we would have already assumed. Now, this of course doesn't 288 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: lead us into the latest with Iran, but it does 289 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: at least segue what comes next is the key question, 290 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 2: because we need to break down this idea that there 291 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: is this detailed, intense conversation going on between the United 292 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: States and the Israelis and the Iranians. Right, I've got 293 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: this story over at the Wall Street Journal, the back 294 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: channel diplomacy behind Trump's do you turn on Iran? 295 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: Who's even talking to who's making decisions for Iran? Who 296 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: speaks for. 297 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 2: These people, this leadership that has already had the living 298 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 2: snot kicked out of it, and let us at least 299 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: go a step further. What is a deal? What does 300 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 2: it look like? I understand what it looks like for Trump, 301 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 2: and I'll get into that. What does it look like 302 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: for you? Maybe you didn't want to engage this at all, 303 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 2: Maybe you desperately wanted to engage this. Maybe you're somewhere 304 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: in the middle. We're here, now, what do you want 305 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 2: to do? It's like asking yourself, Hey, it's the last 306 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 2: day of vacation. 307 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: What do you want to do before we go? Not 308 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: trying to minimize war, by the way, what is the 309 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: plan here? 310 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: Did we actually achieve goal or is there a goal 311 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: still to be achieved? What would be considered a level 312 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: of success and what's considered a that. 313 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: Was a that was not necessary? 314 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 2: We could have We didn't do the job, We didn't 315 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 2: finish the job, we could have done more. 316 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: At what moment do Americans. 317 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 2: Get to say, hey, we did a lot of good there, 318 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 2: or do they get to say we did no good there. 319 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about democrats, I'm talking about Americans. Question 320 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: we have to answer because only we get to decide 321 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 2: that the administration could push anything they want to push, 322 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: doesn't mean we'll agree with it. So what exactly is 323 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: the goal here? And if there is some kind of 324 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 2: deal to be made with the Iranians, with whom are 325 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: we making it? 326 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: The regime the new regime? Wait, wait, there's gonna be 327 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: a new regime. 328 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: Well, President Trump said he wanted to say, and who 329 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: was going to be leading the country. So maybe who 330 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 2: are we talking to matters greatly. That's our discussion. What's 331 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: being said and what does it mean? Because in a 332 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: propaganda war, we're the ones who fall. 333 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: For This is Tony Kats today. 334 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: So President Trump sends ICE to the airports, and the 335 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 2: next thing you know, everything's better. 336 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: The next thing you know, the lines are moving. 337 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: The next thing that you know, people are getting to 338 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 2: their destination for spring break so they can see grandma 339 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 2: or do body shots on the beach. 340 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 7: Yes, Stuart, it is exponentially different here today than it 341 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 7: was this time yesterday over the weekend. As you can see, 342 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 7: there is a very short line right now, and it's 343 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 7: unclear if that's because ICE is now assisting TSA or 344 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 7: if it's just a slower travel day but regardless, a 345 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 7: remarkable change from the hours long ways we've been seeing 346 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 7: with lines stretching all the way around baggage claim. So 347 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 7: I want to give reviewers some perspective and take a 348 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 7: look at this. To the left of your screen is 349 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 7: what the baggage claim area looks like this morning, No 350 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 7: lines at all in that part of the airport, after 351 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 7: a very after still a busy early hours in the morning. 352 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 7: And to the right of your screen is baggage claim 353 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 7: around the same time yesterday morning it was packed. 354 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 2: People have Yes, Fox News, it's because it was a 355 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: slower of travel day. Come on, come on, you got people. 356 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: You have the people doing the job. That's what happened. 357 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 2: And when you have people doing the job, you have success. 358 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Kats that I forget sometimes if I 359 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: say hello, so it's good to be here, good to 360 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: be with you. I wonder. I wonder whether or not 361 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: this gives ICE a bump in the polls, how people 362 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 2: view them and view the organization. 363 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. 364 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: I don't know if it helps in a pr kind 365 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 2: of way. I do know that while people are now 366 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: having an easier time getting through at the airports and 367 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 2: aren't stuck onlines and aren't captives to the Democrats insanity 368 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 2: regarding keeping a Department of Home had security shut down. 369 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: Senator Corey Booker, He's outraged, and so what's happening today 370 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: in America? They should everybody. He's taking the same very 371 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: safe agency that has been bursting into our schools, into 372 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: our churches. 373 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 2: Sorry, I'll find a better audio. He's making the argument 374 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: that somehow TSA is bursting into schools and bursting into churches. 375 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: He's making this argument. He is saying we can't trust 376 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 2: ICE because well, they have to be terrible. In order 377 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: for us to do the things we want to do 378 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 2: and say the things we want to say, Well, we 379 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: have to keep calling them terrible and everything they do terrible, 380 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 2: and everything they do horrible. That's his argument they can't 381 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 2: be trusted. And then he wants to argue that it 382 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: is Republicans that are keeping ICE hostage. I'm sorry, keeping 383 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: TEA hostage. This was him on with Chuck Starbochuck Joe Scarborough. 384 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 8: To people that may not have been following as closely, 385 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 8: how Democrats, you say seven times have taken gone to 386 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 8: the floor and tried to get our TSA agents and 387 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 8: airports paid and Republicans have killed that every single time. 388 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: Can you explain that? Yeah, it's very simple. 389 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 9: There's been a massive fight over ICE, which is in 390 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 9: the Department of Homeland Security. There has been, understandably all 391 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 9: across this country worries about their tactics, the violence that's 392 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 9: resulted of the chaos and communities, and so Democrats have said, 393 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 9: we're not giving more money to an agency's out of 394 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 9: control without substantive reforms. Well, what this President of the 395 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 9: Republicans position is, Okay, if you don't want to fund ICE, 396 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 9: you're not going to fund any other agency. We're going 397 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 9: to shut down the whole Department of Homeland Security. 398 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: So you unders he's lying from the quick. 399 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 2: Republicans have voted to fund Department of Homeland Security. 400 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: The entire department. 401 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 2: It is Democrats that refuse to. And he goes on 402 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: any lies. I'd call him a liar to his face. 403 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: It's a lie. And they believe it's a winner, and 404 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: they believe that the pain is a winner. They think 405 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 2: the pain is fantastic. They think the pain gets them somewhere. 406 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: So I go back to whether or not having ice 407 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: in the airports is going to actually be helpful now, 408 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: Senator John Kennedy, he is making the argument that enough 409 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 2: is enough, right, He's not having the Corey Booker argument 410 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: that you can't trust these people Ice and they burst 411 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 2: into people's homes, and they burst into churches and they 412 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 2: take people. 413 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: No, no, no. 414 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: Bursting into churches is what Don Lemon does. Senator John 415 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 2: Kennedy is saying, why in the world are we even 416 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 2: fighting with Democrats? Why are we even talking to them? 417 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: They're un serious people. Why don't we not just TSA 418 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 2: or any level of the level of ICE funding. Why 419 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 2: don't we take everything put it through reconciliation. 420 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: So the plan A. 421 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 2: Was to reopen the government fund everything except anything regarding ICE, 422 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: which is what Democrats want, then use reconciliation to fund ice. 423 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: Reconciliation is a budget process. 424 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 2: And when you're talking about a budget process, you do 425 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: not need the sixty vote threshold to open debate or 426 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 2: close debate before a vote. Rather, you only need some 427 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: majority fifty plus one, right, whether you have fifty one 428 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: votes or fifty in the tie break from the Vice president, 429 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 2: that's all you need. 430 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: That's all you need. 431 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 2: What Kennedy is saying is the president doesn't want to 432 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 2: do that because he doesn't want to sign anything until 433 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 2: really the same actors passed. He's not gonna go for this. 434 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: So why don't we just put the whole thing through reconciliation? 435 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 2: Why we why are we playing around the edges. Let's 436 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: just do the whole damn thing through reconciliation. I like 437 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: the way he's thinking. This is the way we should 438 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 2: be thinking. There is no reason. 439 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: That we should pretend. 440 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 2: That we're in the same world, the same league as 441 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. They're not anywhere connected to us. They're 442 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: in the minors. We're trying to play major league ball here. 443 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: We're going to handle things where the party in charge. 444 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 2: Let's go be in charge. And by doing doing this, okay, 445 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 2: if you can actually engage this via reconciliation, you take 446 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: ownership of the whole thing, which is fine. Republicans got 447 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 2: you paid, Republicans kept the country safe. 448 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: You got to be able to market it. 449 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: My issue is that Republicans are very, very bad regarding 450 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 2: the marketing. And did you see the moment where Senator 451 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 2: Kennedy is saying, because of this shutdown, senator should. 452 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: Not get paid. He's there in the Senate. 453 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 2: And he's making this argument, and what you're going to 454 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 2: hear is somebody shout, I object. You've got Senator Kennedy speaking, 455 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: you have Senator Jim Banks from Indiana, who's presiding over 456 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 2: the Senate at that moment, follow this. 457 00:27:53,359 --> 00:28:00,360 Speaker 6: Bunch of president as if in legislative session, and ending 458 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 6: Rule twenty two, I ask unanimous consent to Senate proceed 459 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 6: to the consideration of Calendar number two nine to six. 460 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: S Rev.

And further, that the resolution be agreed 463 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 6: to and the motion to reconsider be considered made and 464 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 6: laid upon the. 465 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 2: Title certain objection objective the objections heard now that is 466 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: Democratic Senator Brian Shatz out of Hawaii. I object. And 467 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 2: what you are about to witness is the moment where 468 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: they realize he left. He said, I object to the 469 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: idea of senators not getting paid, because if these government 470 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: workers aren't getting paid, watching senators be paid. 471 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, he objected, and then left. 472 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 2: Check out the confusion because Banks is like, said, there's 473 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: an objection. 474 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: He looks over and shots is gone.

They don't care if anybody else 494 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 2: gets paid. They don't care how long you are in line. 495 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 2: And if you actually do something to fix the lines, 496 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 2: I say, how dare you fix the lines? Republicans are 497 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 2: going to lose to these people. Republicans are going to 498 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 2: lose to these progressives in the midterms. This is their messaging. 499 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: Good lord, good lord. 500 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Iran question, Yeah, I've got a few, keep 501 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 2: it here. 502 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today. 503 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 2: According to the Wall Street Journal, the Iran the Iranians 504 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: might be worried that talks with Trump. 505 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: Could be a trap. I need Admiral Acbar at that moment. 506 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 2: Maybe would I believe any talks? 507 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: No? And do I believe talks are happening? 508 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 6: Not? 509 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: Really, I don't.

There is the head of the. 517 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: Iranian parliament who was the mayor of Tehran back in 518 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 2: two thousand and five, and he was with the IRGC 519 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: before that. 520 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: As a commander or just after that as a commander. 521 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 2: His name is Khloboff Qa l Ibaf. Maybe they're negotiating 522 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 2: with him, but this guy's a part of the IRGC. 523 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 2: You can't be negotiating with the IRGC and expect that 524 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: there's going to be a deal that could be trusted. 525 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 2: That's crazy town. No, you cannot believe such a thing. 526 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 2: But one of the things that we know is that 527 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: this is a war of propaganda. The United States, along 528 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 2: with Israel, wants to keep the Iranians cussing. The Iranians 529 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 2: want to keep the American left and the woke right 530 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 2: pushing against Trump and Israel. 531 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: All warfare is deception, that's sun sou. 532 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 2: But is there any question that Iram to the extent 533 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: that any leadership exists wants to ensure it is activating 534 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 2: their useful idiots in the United States to press against Trump, 535 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 2: to press against Conservatives, to press against anything that would 536 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 2: involve destroying the regime. The answers, of course not it's 537 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: exactly what they're doing. So when Iran says there's no 538 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 2: conversation happening, We're not having any conversations with Donald Trump, 539 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:24,239 Speaker 2: it's a lot. 540 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't believe them for a second. 541 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 2: Then you have the news that direct talks between the 542 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: US and Iran on ending the war could be held 543 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: in Islamabad as early as this week. 544 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: Reuters reported this There. 545 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: Are intermedia intermediaries including Egypt, Pakistan and several Gulf states 546 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 2: that have been relaying messages between Washington and Tehran, and 547 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 2: Iranian media reported that Pejikian Peeshkian sorry he is the 548 00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 2: president of Iran and the Pakistani Prime Minister discuss us 549 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 2: the war's impact on regional and global security. Do I 550 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 2: believe that whit coop is going to have this meeting 551 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: and with cough could have a meeting, but I don't 552 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 2: know if it's a meeting that is guaranteed to end 553 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 2: the fighting, because ending the fighting has to mean something. 554 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 2: And for the record, just for the second clarity, I 555 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 2: have no problem with ending the fighting. It's not my issue. 556 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 2: If we're ending the fighting before the regime is gone, 557 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 2: I don't know why we were there. I know, and 558 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 2: talking doesn't mean that it's all going to be over. 559 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 2: But I said, but I want to be clear, I'm 560 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 2: totally fine with leaving, but the regime has to be 561 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 2: gone otherwise what do we do. But now we're just 562 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 2: talking about the possibility of talking. It doesn't mean we are, 563 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 2: and what matters is what we are. It's like Trump's saying, 564 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 2: the Iranians have two days, so we're going to bomb 565 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 2: their big power facilities. Well, we've had such good conversations, 566 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 2: I've decided to give it five days. Give them a 567 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 2: five day reprieve. Was he bombing anything? Was he planning 568 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 2: on bombing anything? This is where the propaganda comes in. 569 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 2: And of course Trump is doing this. 570 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: I have discussed this. 571 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 2: The Pentagon is very very good at the misdirect and 572 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: a lot of what they're doing is clearly misdirect and 573 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 2: we may find as we sit here, there is a 574 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 2: new bombing raid going on of these power facilities in Iran, 575 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 2: because the objective was to throw them off here, try 576 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 2: and misdirector do the other thing. They do have strategy. 577 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 2: All I can tell you is that I don't believe 578 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 2: any of it. 579 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be rude. I'm not trying to 580 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: be dismissive. It's just. 581 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 2: Don't tell me what people say, tell me what people do, 582 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 2: especially in this case. 583 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm Tony Kats
