1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Line from val Hartland and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. So this was the post on social media. 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: Five NFL teams chose not to honor Charlie Kirk with 4 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: a moment of silence today, and it lists the five teams. 5 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: And now I guess we're supposed to ask what that 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: means or what we want to do about it. Tony Katz, 7 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, good to be with. You find everything 8 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: at Tony Katz dot com. Moving over to substack in 9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, you'll find everything there a 10 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: lot easier to navigate, a lot more enjoyable to utilize, 11 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: and a lot more productive for us. Tonykats dot com 12 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: is the only place you need to be. So it 13 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: lists the five teams. The Detroit Lions, the Indianapolis Colts 14 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: that's where I'm at, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Baltimore Ravens, 15 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: and the Minnesota Vikings. These teams, I guess, because they 16 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: had home games, did not honor Charlie Kirk with a 17 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: moment of silence. So I want to start with a 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: with a basic first, I don't know. I didn't know 19 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: that other teams did honor Charlie Kirk with a moment 20 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: of silence. So it's actually a story about this Green 21 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: Bay Packers did. I guess there was a decision from 22 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: the league. I mean they did this on this was 23 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: Thursday night. The National Football League, ACiE, please join us 24 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: in a moment of silent reflection following the murder of 25 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. The NFL condems all violence in our communities. 26 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: It will take all of us to stop hate. Thank you. Okay, 27 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: So the Giants, Cowboys, Rams, Titans, Patriots, Dolphins, forty nine Ers, Saints, 28 00:01:53,160 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: Bill's Jets, they all did, and then Panthers, Cardinal Eagles, 29 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs they did. But yeah, so the Bengals against the Jaguars, 30 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: the Lions against the Bears, the Steelers against the Seahawks, 31 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: but the Steelers were flying the flags at half staff, 32 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Ravens Brown's Colts, Broncos, and then Falcons, Vikings. The Vikings 33 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: honored all victims of recent gun violence, including those impacted 34 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: at the Annunciation Catholic church shooting. Okay, that happened in Minnesota. 35 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: So first the question is do they have to have 36 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: a moment of silence. Allow me to be the first 37 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: one on record to say no, not at all. They 38 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: don't have to do anything at all. No one does. Now, 39 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: if the president declares flags at half staff, the standard 40 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: is to fly the flag at half staff. The president 41 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: could do this for a whole series of things. And 42 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: that's what you do. You follow the lead in that one. 43 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: And I think the places that aren't doing that that 44 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: that's not a show of defiance, that's a show of 45 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: ugly crafts, nonsensical politics. And these are the people, and 46 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: I think important to note the ones who are saying, 47 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: we're so okay with people we disagree with being murdered, assassinated, 48 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: slaughtered in front of their wife and children on television 49 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: and on video, that we're not going to put a 50 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: flag at half staff. We want everybody to know how 51 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: cool we are with it. I think it's a weird 52 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: thing to be cool with. But this is what they're saying, 53 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: this is what they're doing. So that's that's that's the flag. 54 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: But I do not know if these places needed a 55 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: moment of silence. I don't know if that was necessary, 56 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: if that was something that had to be had they, 57 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: I mean the places where they had it. Clearly the 58 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: crowds took this well I mean the Titans did it. 59 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: I mean they put up a photo of Charlie Kirk 60 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: on the board, right. Dolphins did it as well, so 61 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: one could argue there was a marketing to this. The 62 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Jets did it, and you say to me, Tony, that's 63 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: so craven. I'm taking a look at this objectively what 64 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: it is these teams did, and then asking whether or 65 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: not it was something that had to be. 66 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: Done, because we saw a lot of people take a 67 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: look at moments of silence and things for George Floyd 68 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: and say what are you doing and how dare you now? 69 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: Before we get anywhere else. I am not comparing Charlie 70 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: Kirk to George Floyd. Charlie Kirk was a better man 71 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: than George Floyd every day of the week and twice 72 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Even if I disagreed with Charlie Kirk ab 73 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: out ofa civic policy or something else. Charlie Kirk did 74 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: not deserve what happened to him, and the people celebrating 75 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: his death are despicable people, and I'm glad that they've 76 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: out of themselves so I never have to pay them 77 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: any mind, and certainly would not invite them into my home. 78 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: So there are people who have had moment of silences 79 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: where you agree and where you disagree, And I do 80 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: not believe there has to be some code that says 81 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: everybody has to do this, some unwritten rule that everybody 82 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: has to do this. And not every NFL team, nor 83 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: did any NFL team have to engage a moment of silence. 84 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: But as has been discussed, every one of the teams 85 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: that I mentioned, the Detroit Lions, the Indianapolis Colts, the 86 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, the Baltimore Ravens, the Minnesota Vikings, according to 87 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: the reporting, I'd let anybody triple check they all honored 88 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: George Floyd back in twenty twenty. And now, if that 89 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: is indeed the case, I think you are more than 90 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: welcome to look at these teams and ask them what 91 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: the flying blank oh, ten thousand percent? If you were 92 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: having moments of silence for George Floyd, was that league mandated? 93 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: So George Floyd got the league mandate and Charlie Kirk didn't, 94 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: or was this say team by team decision? But you 95 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: did it because you knew that you would be vilified 96 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: and very possibly your stadium and or team damaged if 97 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: you didn't and what you just you didn't worry about 98 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: what was going to happen to you on the other 99 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: side over here, or and go with me on the philosophy. 100 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: Is it that we have actually overcome the idea of 101 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: well I have to play along or go along in 102 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: order to be liked otherwise that we destroyed we have 103 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: we done away with that and we created the level 104 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: of the political posturing exhaustion, and people are like, can 105 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: we just play football? Because that's what we're here to do. 106 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: Play football. He wasn't a politician, he wasn't in the military. 107 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 1: Could we just play football? Could have been their argument. 108 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: The argument's much harder to make when you were doing it. 109 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: For George Floyd, it's a much harder argument to make. 110 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: And these are teams that are going to take some 111 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: heat for doing it. I do not support the idea 112 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: of forced profession. Are you willing to say how much 113 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: you loved fill in the blank? That's that's not that 114 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: is not what I want in the slightest I don't 115 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: want any part of that. I want to avoid that 116 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: at all costs and let people do what they're going 117 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: to do in terms of commentaries, and then let people 118 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: react and respond to it. If the response to these 119 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: teams is people don't buy their jerseys, or people don't 120 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: do this, people don't do that, don't show up to 121 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: the game, Okay, if nothing happens, nothing happens, And the 122 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: same is true the other way. You take a look 123 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: at all the companies that bent the knee and did 124 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: this for George Floyd, and that for George Floyd, and 125 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: the other for George Floyd. George Floyd wasn't a good guy. 126 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: Your choice of whether or not you want to spend 127 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: your money with them, or whether you want to attend 128 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: those events, etc. I happen to like going to NBA games. 129 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: The game in person is fantastic. I don't give good 130 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: too Holy you know once about Lebron James, I think 131 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: he's a jerk. I think he's a self entitled pseudo 132 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: intellectual while great court vision has no decency off the court. Well, 133 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, Tony, he started a school. I know that 134 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: he is so in the pocket of China that he 135 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: writes op eds talking about how great it is to 136 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: work with the Chinese while they oppress people, destroy Hong Kongers, 137 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: and keep Weiger Muslims in prison camps. That's what I know. 138 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: I know this guy went after Daryl Moray, who was 139 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: clearly smarter than him, and said he needed to educate 140 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: himself on China. When it was Daryl Moray, the then 141 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: general manager of the Houston Rockets, saying I stand with 142 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: Hong Kong because every rational person should have been standing 143 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: with Hong Kong, but not Lebron James. He had to 144 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: get paid. What what I mean, That's exactly what happened. 145 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: I've got the data to beck me up there. And 146 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: it's up to you whether you are gonna watch the 147 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: NBA or not watch the NBA, watch the Emmys, or 148 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: don't watch the Emmys, because they've got this this actress, 149 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: Hannah Einbeinder from the show Hacks, and she's gonna say 150 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: f ice and free Palistine, which she did in her 151 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: acceptance speech. She wins an Emmy. F ice and free Palestine. Sorry, 152 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: I've watched a couple episodes of the show. My wife 153 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: watches the show. We're done now that you don't get 154 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: my attention, you don't get my love? You are you? 155 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: You lack to me the properness of decency. Supporting terrorists 156 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: is nuts. Not approving of everything Israel does is fine. 157 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: Free Palestine is a political statement saying that you want 158 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Israel destroyed. And then you say to me, Tony, you 159 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: know the actress is Jewish, And I'm gonna say to you, oh, 160 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: I know, I know. But liberalism rocks the brain. And 161 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: I've often discussed how the progressive has replaced their Judaism 162 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: with their liberalism. We've seen this in many different ways 163 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: across a whole bunch of religious spectrums. It's up to 164 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: us to decide how our responses are going to go. 165 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: And it made them These teams may get a bad 166 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: response in terms of boycott and things like that I 167 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't participate in, and I wouldn't endorse, and I don't 168 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: condone at all anything of a violent nature. That's nutty. 169 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: That's nuts, But it is worthy of stating if indeed 170 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: we've got the data correct that if a team was 171 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: all about honoring George Floyd and isn't honoring Charlie Kirk, 172 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: what changed? What changed? I mean, it's a difference of 173 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: five years. A lot has changed in five years, But 174 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: what actually changed? What is different? What changed your mind? 175 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: What changed your thought process us to doing these things? 176 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: That's a worthwhile question. And I don't mind these teams 177 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: being asked worthwhile questions. This is Tony Katz today. It's 178 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: talk of another government shutdown. Oh, I'm sorry, did I 179 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: do that wrong? All right, I'm I'm sorry. I didn't 180 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: mean to do it wrong. Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, 181 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: Good to be with you. Usually when the press talks 182 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: about it and they talk about government shutdown, they're like, oh, oh, 183 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: be careful, be on alert. We might be having another 184 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: government shutdown. My god, Okay, it's happening. Everybody's say, what's 185 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: the procedure, what's going on? Holy crap, I am freaking out. 186 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: That's what they're desperate for. They announced government shutdown, and 187 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: everybody loses their freaking mind. But we've been through this. 188 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: We've been through all of this, and when we hear 189 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: this these days and they tell us, oh my gosh, 190 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: it might be a government shutdown, all we hear is this, 191 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: we don't care shut it down. Oh, I understand that 192 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: people aren't gonna get paid, and military isn't gonna get paid, 193 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: and this is not gonna get paid, understand it. The 194 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: point is this has been a threat going on for 195 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: years and we're just past it. It's not working anymore. 196 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: We've read the fine print on this nonsense. 197 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: Under section thirty seven B of the contract. 198 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: It states quite clearly that all offers shall become null 199 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: and void if and you can read it for yourself. 200 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 3: In this photostatic copy, I the undersigned shall forfeit all rights, privileges, 201 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 3: and licenses, hearing and hearing contained, et cetera, et cetera, 202 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: facts meant in sendium, gloria, kalprom et cetera, et cetera, 203 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 3: memobis punitor della cotm. It's all there, black and white. 204 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: Clear as crystal. I mean, we've seen it. We get this. 205 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: That's right at Willie Wonka reference. We get it. You 206 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: might have a government shutdown, ooh, go ahead. We're going 207 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: to live our lives like normal. We're much more concerned 208 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: that someone's gonna try and kill us because they don't 209 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: like our political opinion than we are about your shutdown. 210 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: And we're not interested, Chuck Schumer in your nonsense fear tactics. 211 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: This doesn't work. You're boring. Congressional Democrats say healthcare is 212 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: the issue. They're saying that they will not support legislation 213 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: to keep the government funded unless it includes certain healthcare provisions, 214 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: saying we have made clear that under no circumstances when 215 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: we support a partisan republican spending bill that continues to 216 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: rip away healthcare from the American people, Good gosh almighty, 217 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: every single time, it's the same boring stu am I 218 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: the only one who's just had enough of this, come 219 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: up with a budget already be a bunch of grownups. 220 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: We don't think that you're stronger, Team Jeffries. We think 221 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: you're a pansy. We think that Chuck Schumer is a 222 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: doddering old fool. Neither one of you is a wartime conciliary. 223 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: You're getting your butts kicked by Trump every which way 224 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: but loose, and you're gonna get wrecked in the midterms 225 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: as things go. Right now, But now you're back to healthcare. 226 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: What do they want? They want an extension of the 227 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: Affordable Care Act tax credits set to the expire at 228 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: the end of this year. That could send premiums up 229 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: by about seventy five percent. So you want to take 230 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: the failure of Obamacare and still make it look like 231 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: something valuable by keeping the premiums artificially low. Now, I 232 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: think it's interesting that Democrats are in favor of a 233 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: tax credit. If I'm the Republican Party, I'm like, where 234 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: else can we get a tax credit? What else can 235 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: we push? Hey, why don't we just add this as 236 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: a tax cut? And why don't we do this? And 237 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: why don't we do that? And let's see the Democrats 238 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: now vote against that. I am a huge fan, a 239 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: huge fan of that judo. Remember, Judo is about utilizing 240 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: your opponent's weight against them. I love that stuff, and 241 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: I think we should do it. And so to to 242 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: Trump's point and his points of view, it's not that 243 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: I even agree with the policy, it's that it'll be 244 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: an argument of why in the world will we be 245 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: against tax cut? You know, we're gonna cut this, now, 246 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna cut that, and we're gonna cut the other. No, 247 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this now, we're gonna give you that. No, 248 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: his idea is they're gonna say, they're saying we'll give 249 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: you twenty dollars. Why don't we say we'll give you. 250 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm here and twenty dollars, let's go. That's always been 251 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: his his kind of a mantra to use their stuff 252 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: against them. But he doesn't mind the giveaway. Remember out 253 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: of conservative, so he doesn't mind more of these kinds 254 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: of things. But we're gonna talk about tax credits. Let's 255 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: get out some more tax credits. Ways for people not 256 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: to pay taxes is always something that I will approve of. Always. 257 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: So the vast majority of Americans that have the Affordable 258 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: Care Act have get the tax credit. So if it goes, 259 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna spend a bunch more money and they may 260 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: not be able to afford the insurance. So part of 261 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: wanting this is to keep from the recognition that this 262 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: whole thing with the ACA, with Obamacare didn't work as advertised. 263 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: You did lose your doctor, you did lose your plan. 264 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: People lost a lot, and the costs never went down. 265 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: The answer from the progressive is, see, because that's we 266 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: didn't We didn't go far enough. We need universal health care. 267 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: We need forced universal health care. We need to have 268 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: single payer and then the government pays for everything, and 269 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: that everything will be great. It won't be great, it'll 270 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: be a mess, And I certainly don't want that. The 271 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: rich people will continue to have concierge medicine. It's the 272 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: poor people who will suffer with long lines, and dying 273 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: of things that they don't need to remember. Everything the 274 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: left does, if you take a detailed look at it 275 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: involves abusing the poor and allowing the rich to go 276 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: about their lives. The left is in favor of, well, 277 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna stop people from smoking, and we're gonna raise 278 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: the cigarette tax by I don't know whatever dollars it 279 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: is per packet. Make it impossible for people to afford cigarettes. No, 280 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: you make it impossible for poor people to afford cigarettes. 281 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: Rich people still buy cigarettes. We're gonna red meat is 282 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: bad for you. It's not, by the way, it's not 283 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: at all. But you can't convince a vegan of anything like, 284 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: for example, what food is. And so we're gonna we're 285 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna raise the taxes on this, and so we're gonna 286 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: keep people from eating red meat. The sick, twisted, twisted people. 287 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: But the rich people still afford steak. It is poor 288 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: people who can no longer afford a steak, that's the story. 289 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: And who doesn't love a good steak? Cooking steak? Would 290 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: in it be great? You could be my mate cooking 291 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 1: steak for goodness sake? Will you please be my mate 292 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: and come and cook steak steak every day. For about 293 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: six years. I did a segment on my morning show 294 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: about meatless Monday, about how the city of Indianapolis supported 295 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: the concept of a meatless Monday. Don't eat meat mount 296 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: a Monday. I'm like, we have a lot of great steakhouses, 297 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: and I would advertise for free a different steakhouse or 298 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: a different restaurant every week. I did this for six 299 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: years straight. Eventually I ran out of places. That was 300 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: my that was my theme song. Rich people Still, you'll 301 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: get the stake, poor people suffer. You want a tax 302 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: on soda, rich people who drink soda and poor people won't. 303 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: And that's what's gonna happen every time these do gooders 304 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: get near any of this stuff. The rich people are 305 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: always better off. And the same thing will be true 306 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: with medicine. Do I care if the tax credits stay. 307 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure how it plays on 308 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: the other side. But if I'm Republicans, go the Judo 309 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: move and get more tax credits, more ways for the 310 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: people to save. Let's see if the Democrats really care 311 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: about people or they just care about politics. I'm willing 312 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: to put my wager down. I know which one I 313 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: know'sbody you. This is Tony Kats Today. Find everything at 314 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: tonycats dot com. So Marco Rubio met with Benjamin Etyaho, 315 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio the Secretary of State, Benjamininya, who the Prime 316 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: Minister of Israel, stating that Hamas must be eliminated and 317 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: all hostages released for there to be peace in God's 318 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: If you haven't heard me already talk about Hannah Einbinder, 319 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: the actress from the show Hacks.

I'll explain to you how it all connects. 322 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: Rubio was curious as the reporting from the Washington Times 323 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: discusses came to Israel. Wanted to hear from net Yahoo, well, 324 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: what was your plan in Gaza? You've got these bombing 325 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: raids in Qatar, you took out Hamas leadership. What's going on? 326 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: What is your plan? And the headline was kind of fascinating, 327 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: little daylight between US and Israel. Evident as Rubio and 328 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: Netanyahu meet, But it was Donald Trump who said that 329 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: he was opposed to what it is that Israel did 330 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: in Qatar against the Hamas leadership. I think the same 331 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: thing was said at the United Nations. So I don't 332 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: know what to making this headline. I don't know what 333 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: any of us are supposed to make from this headline. 334 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting, and I also think that it's 335 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: interesting that Rubio is engaged like this while the US 336 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: is over here saying the other. And this is where 337 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: the politics gets deep in detailed, what happens when you're 338 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: trying to cover all of your basis. It's understood by some, 339 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: or believed by some, that the hit on Qatar, where 340 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: Hamas leadership is allowed to hold up and spend their billions, 341 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: is seen as an attack on sovereign soil. One could 342 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: easily see it as here's Qatar harboring terrorists who were 343 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: to attack the nation of Israel, and Israel's responding to 344 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: where the terrorist is. You could see it. However, you 345 00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: like how the United States is playing it is I'm not, 346 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 1: I would say perfectly to my liking, but I at 347 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: least see what it is that they're doing. We don't 348 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: appreciate the idea of an attack on foreign soil or 349 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: the nation that did nothing to you and then saying 350 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Hamas must be destroyed now I don't actually agree that 351 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: Katar did nothing. I think Katar has been buying influence 352 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: in the United States for decades, really really getting aggressive 353 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: on doing so. The idea that this is a nation 354 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: that was once reviled or thought of as an afterthought 355 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: within whether it be Arab nations or Muslim nations or 356 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: really in the Middle East, and how it has built 357 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: itself out into this financial powerhouse, giving money to lobbyists 358 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: and to universities and learning institutions, and really trying to 359 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: force our hand in what it is we talk and 360 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: don't talk about. And then there's the conversation of whether 361 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: or not they're influencers that are funded by Katar. To 362 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: that end, because I get accused of this all the time. 363 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: Look who you're funded by. I am not funded by 364 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: any foreign nation at all. I have never ever received 365 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: a check from a foreign nation. Have I done work 366 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: with groups before. Absolutely, It's been great quite a number 367 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: of years since I've done anything with Americans for prosperity. 368 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: But I have You want to argue that the Koch 369 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: brothers are evil, well, let those people, they build out, hospitals, 370 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: they provide for the arts, and the people angry with 371 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: them are just bitter, angry shrews, and I don't actually 372 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: give a damn whether they like it or not. The 373 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: very shirt I'm wearing might have been paid for by 374 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: evil coke dollars. You're welcome. 375 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: Oh. 376 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: I didn't like when they were supporting NICKI Haley for president. 377 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: I thought that was a nutty said so, But I 378 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: agree on good tax policy that lowers taxes, and I 379 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: agree on the very concepts of prosperity. So you know, 380 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: solid we agree, we disagree. It's all right. Never a 381 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: foreign nation, never ever, never, ever, ever, ever has that 382 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: happened in my life. But you'll get people who say, oh, 383 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: the Qataris are supporting this one, that one, and the 384 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: other one. And it comes up a lot with Tucker Carlson. 385 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have absolutely no idea, And 386 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: since I would have no way to prove such a thing, 387 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: I have to say I don't believe it to be true. 388 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: You'd have to show me that it is true. As 389 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: for the political turn, Tucker Carlson has a taken in 390 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: his vitriol and his hatred, I don't have an answer 391 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: for that. I don't know if that is financing or 392 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: something else that would all be speculation on my part. 393 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: I know that making the claim that Russia is better 394 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: than the United States because look at their supermarkets is 395 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: one of the most ignorant and daft things I've heard 396 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: in a long time. And Tucker could laugh it off 397 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: all he wants. I'm right, he's wrong. That's that he 398 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: sounds silly when he says that, oh, look at these 399 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: Russian supermarkets. I wish American supermarkets look like that. That's 400 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: that's embarrassing, is what we're talking about right there. But 401 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: I have no idea if the guy takes foreign dollars. 402 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: I do know that Qatar works to engage influence and 403 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: that has to be discussed. And if Qatar is harboring 404 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: Hamas terrorists, that's a problem. And I have no problem 405 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: with taking out the terrorists who are harbored in Qatar, 406 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: none whatsoever. Now Rubio's statement is about Hamas. As long 407 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: as they're around, there will be no peace in this 408 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: region because they're not agents of piece, they're agents abarbarism. 409 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely positively correct. This comes as there was an air 410 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: strike that took out I think twelve including children. How 411 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: does one process such a such a thing. Allow me 412 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: there is zero question in my mind that there are 413 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: absolutely innocent people, including children, who have been killed in 414 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: this war. There is no question about this. Every ounce 415 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: of blood is the fault of Hamas, who started the war. 416 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: They're the one I'm not even saying about it taking 417 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: sides here, although you absolutely know where I am. I'm 418 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: a Zionist. I apologize for nothing, for nothing, But is 419 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: there really any question whether or not Hamastar or the war. No, 420 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: the argument is yeah, but there's no. Yeah. But that's 421 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 1: like saying of Charlie Kirk, we shouldn't take out our 422 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: differences in such a violent way. But his skirt was 423 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: too short and he deserved it. That's what the left 424 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: is saying in a lot of places, a lot of 425 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: social media places, a lot of politicos. It's ugly. Certainly, 426 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: not everyone, but it is ugly, and you have been 427 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: witnessing it and watching it and you are disgusted by it. 428 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: He deserved it. It's obscene. Israel got attacked, sure, but 429 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: there's no but it's a war that Hamas started. Hamas 430 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: is gonna pay the price. Where's the screaming to just 431 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: return the hostages and make this all go away? Why 432 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: aren't they screaming for that? It is crazed they still don't. 433 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: I am thrilled to see this statement from Rubio, not 434 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: because of Israel, but because it sets a standard. You 435 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: want to be upset because there was a hit on 436 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: another country. You've got foreign policy you have to deal with. 437 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: You have trade deals you're trying to get down. I 438 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: can understand such levels of political posturing and maneuvering in 439 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: order to ensure that other deals can take place. We 440 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: do live in the real world. But any statement that 441 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: reminds us of who the terrorists are, what it is 442 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: they've done, what it is they would still do if 443 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: they had the chance, and what they will do to 444 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: you tomorrow, to you, to your kids, to your city, 445 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: to your town, to your neighborhood. They've already said they would, 446 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: they already said they want to. They already said they're 447 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: not going to stop. They already said they're not going 448 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: to give back the hostages. They have no interest in 449 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: making the lives of the people of Gaza better. They 450 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: never did, and not everybody in Gaza's innocence, as a 451 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: lot of them support Hamas, have voted for Hamasa, would 452 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: do so again. Children being killed. Yeah, you could argue 453 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: for the most part that they're innocent. I mean, it 454 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: would have to be an age of a child and 455 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: something specific that you knew. But let's be rational people, 456 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: let's be humans innocent. It's awful. It's absolutely awful, and 457 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: every part of it is the fault of Hamas. If 458 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: they would just surrender, they would just give back hostages, 459 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: all this would end. But I think this is a 460 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: very good sign. I like what I'm seeing here with 461 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: this trip and with these statements. Oh, Tucker won't, Candice won't, 462 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: all those people won't. Well, they don't have to. They 463 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: don't have to. And I'm not even saying that you 464 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: agree with every way that Israel has handled this war, 465 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: because allow me to go first, I don't either. But 466 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: I certainly support Israel over Hamas. I certainly support democracies 467 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: over terrorism, and I absolutely support the rational people of 468 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: the free world against the Islamists, because if the Islamist exists, 469 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: all the rational people in the free world they all die. 470 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: Rationality goes out the window, replaced by Sharia, which is 471 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: sure as bluddy heck not rational. The public recognition that 472 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: Hamas is a terrorist organization that needs to be destroyed. Bravissimo, 473 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: because Hamas is a terrorist organization that must be destroyed. 474 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: It's good to see leadership saying so. I'm Tony Katz. 475 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today. Right now. 476 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 4: We live in America of cancel culture, and it is 477 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 4: the cancel culture on the right now that is leading 478 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 4: the charge and the apocrisy. I've been writing something about this. 479 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 4: The apocrisy on the right about free speech is I mean, it's. 480 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: Just it's off the charts. Could think about it. 481 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 4: If you actually believed in what Charlie Kirk said he 482 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 4: believed in, didn't quite practice all the time, is free speech, 483 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 4: then why are you out to cancel people who are 484 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 4: using their First Amendment right of free speech to tell 485 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 4: you how they feel about Charlie Kirk by using his 486 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 4: own words. 487 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: But that's not what happened, don Lemon. They didn't use 488 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's own words. They manipulated his own words. They 489 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: weren't honest about it. His conversation about the Second Amendments 490 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: and the importance of it and the horrible things that 491 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: can happen. But he doesn't take away from your rights. 492 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: You don't take away people's rights because bad things happen. 493 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: That's just not the way it works. I've made the 494 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: same argument. I never advocated for murdering somebody while they 495 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: were speaking to a crowd of thousands. Tony Katz, Tony 496 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: Katz today, good to be with you. But this is 497 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: part of the conversation of the madness of the response 498 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, that now the Don 499 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: Lemons of the world, still thinking that they are worthy 500 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: of an audience, want to now go out there and 501 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: proclaim that they want to protect us all from cancel culture. 502 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense because Charlie Kirk didn't make sense, and. 503 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: So the response is irrational. 504 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 4: So they're trying to all these people are Nancy Mace 505 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 4: and Megan Kelly and all these people. They can't figure 506 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 4: out how they want a response respond. Is he a 507 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 4: crazy looney left liberal? 508 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: Is he some sort of inceel? Is he a furry? 509 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: Is he whatever? 510 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 4: Like they're spinning trying to, oh, how do we make 511 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 4: this make sense? 512 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: No, they're not not at all. The guy who killed 513 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: assassinated Charlie Kirk came from what would be considered a 514 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: quote unquote normal household, a conservative household, got radicalized, whether 515 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: it was college or certainly in his later life, was 516 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: dating a man who was transitioning quote unquote to become 517 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: a woman. They were into the concept of furries, pretending 518 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: that you're some kind of animal. Was all about the 519 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: anti fascist movement, which is actually the most fascistic of movements. 520 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: It's all lie, it's all a fraud. I mean, we 521 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: can go back to quotes from Huey Long just to 522 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: how easy it is to maneuver these things. David Mammett 523 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: writes about this in one of his latest books, There's 524 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: no confusion about how you want to do this. That's 525 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: a leftist talking point to make one believe. Oh my gosh, 526 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: the political rights upset that it wasn't a trans person 527 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: or a black person. We're disgusted and upset that Charlie 528 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: Kirk was assassinated and the rest of us who are 529 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: in this world now I have to question how we 530 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: go out into the public, which is of course what 531 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: the left wants. You should be afraid to leave your house. 532 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: I went out and did events on Friday, I went 533 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: out and did events on Saturday. Keep as much security 534 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: around as possible, and I'm gonna keep going there is 535 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: no stopping guys, and you know that that's the way 536 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: it has to be for you as well. And you 537 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: and I are in the same boat. Someone's not gonna 538 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: like your Facebook post and they're gonna decide to do something. 539 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: So Don Lemon is making it up here and then 540 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: he puts the final touch on the nonsense. You can't 541 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: because it doesn't make sense because this is a myth. 542 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 4: You're trying to build a myth on a myth. The 543 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 4: things that came out of Charlie Kirk's mouth were. 544 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: Many. 545 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 4: Much of it was hurtful, discriminatory, ignorant. 546 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: And I'll stop there good because you've been wrong three 547 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: times that you disagreed with it didn't make it any 548 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: of those things, Don Lemon, And that you approach your 549 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: video series or anything else you do like you're an intellectual, 550 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: why not honestly address what he discussed. I am not 551 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: a guy for prostlytizing. It's never where I'm at. It's 552 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: not the thing that rings in my ears. Oh okay 553 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: to me is okay, I know that's not for me, 554 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 1: but I wasn't the intended audience in a great number 555 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: of ways. It doesn't mean it should be shot and killed. 556 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: And if you want to talk about cancel culture, you 557 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: have people cheering him being murdered. Don't be surprised when 558 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: a company says we don't want you around anymore. People 559 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: could say what they want, but there might be consequences. 560 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: That's what we were told. When you were getting conservatives, 561 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: of people on the political right, of peoples agreed with 562 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: you fired everywhere. You have people all over the political 563 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: left cheering murder. Would you want those people representing your company, 564 00:35:54,560 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: your business, your future, not me.
