Six Democrats came across. 14 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 2: Two Republicans voted against. Of course, Thomas Massey voted against. 15 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: It's what he does, which is really a story in 16 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: and of itself. It's not even anymore that he could 17 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: have a point about things. It's just everything. It can't 18 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 2: be everything. Some things you gotta be okay with. Everything's 19 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: a negative, and yet there is no You're not winning 20 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: people over with your arguments. It's too busy being snarky, 21 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: and I don't like it when Trump does it with him, 22 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: but I'm sure his bloody Heck don't like it what 23 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: he does with everybody. But leave that, leave that be. 24 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: This being over has to tell a story. There is, 25 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, a post mortem about 26 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: these things. What is it that we experienced here? What 27 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: is it that we saw? What we saw was no 28 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: real plan other than well, the last time I did 29 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: it one way and it didn't work. So this time 30 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: I'll do it this way and hopefully it'll work. It's 31 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: not a plan. You couldn't run a business like that, 32 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 2: Chure's buddy, Heck, can't run a country like that. It 33 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: should be a reminder to everyone that there was a 34 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: conversation regarding government shutdown back in March, and what is 35 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 2: it that Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democrats did. 36 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer said, we are not going to shut down 37 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: the government. Chuck sh humor said, it's a fool's errand 38 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: to do so. That's me paraphrasing that this is not 39 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: something of great value his words, and what happened to him, 40 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: He got the snot kicked out of him by everybody, 41 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: by everyone. He let them down because he did not fight, 42 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: and he was there. I think it was on the 43 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: view saying well, I felt like I had to do it. 44 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna throw it out to why what were 45 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: you thinking? 46 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: And why? 47 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 4: Okay, So look, I knew it was a difficult choice, 48 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 4: and I knew that I get a lot of criticism 49 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 4: from my choice, but I felt as a leader, I 50 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: had to do it. Here's why the cr bill was bad, 51 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 4: no question, and it allowed a slush fund which allowed 52 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,279 Speaker 4: money to be pushed. 53 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: Around, explaining for the people who don't know what. 54 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: Continue the government spending a shutdown, the alternative is cut 55 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: off the government spending. And here's what we would What 56 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: would happen if we cut off government spending? It would 57 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 4: be devastation like we have never seen, saying now much, 58 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 4: here's why. 59 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: That's why I did it. 60 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 4: I wasn't going to take this flat just for having 61 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 4: a lot of fun. 62 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: It's so relatable. Why was it then devastation like you 63 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: would have never seen? And now it was somehow righteous? 64 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: I have often argued, and I think that you've seen 65 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: this in your own life. I don't think you needed 66 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: me to tell you this. That the Democratic Party often 67 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: acts like when they say something it's the first time 68 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: it was ever said. They act like there was no 69 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: video or no audio, no recording of them saying exactly 70 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: the opposite yesterday. The phrasing that I've used before is 71 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: for the left is progressive yesterday. And what they said 72 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: yesterday has absolutely no bearing on what they say today, 73 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: and what they say today will have absolutely no bearing 74 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: on what they say tomorrow. Somehow, every day is this 75 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: brand new day. And if you notice what they said yesterday, 76 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: why are you paying attention to the past. It's a 77 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: crazed philosophy, except they do it. I am pretty sure 78 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: they do it because they still believe that all the 79 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: media is on their side and the media will cover 80 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: for them, and now the media will cover them for them. 81 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: That's very, very true. But they are losing more and 82 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: more of the media, more and more people not watching 83 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: the CNN and the MSNBC. I mean, we don't watch it. 84 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: We watch it for the Loulls. I mean, what else? 85 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: What the purpose is there, you know, to watch or 86 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 2: for these things. It's not for us to watch. It's 87 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: for us to get a good a good laugh at 88 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: that's it. It's the only thing to do is to 89 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: get a good laugh at I mean, I've got some 90 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: clips from Abby Phillips show where Ben Ferguson is taking 91 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 2: people to task just like the rest of us would. 92 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: Regarding this Epstein disaster, Holy cow, I said yesterday, I said, 93 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to go over with the 94 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: New York Times and others are reporting regarding these new 95 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 2: emails from Jeffrey Epstein that bring up Donald Trump. But 96 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: I will. But what did I say, take a massive 97 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: grain of salt when engaging a conversation for the New 98 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: York Times. Don't just believe them for the sake of 99 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: believing them. The only place that has more salt than 100 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: the grain of salt you should take with something from 101 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: the New York Times is the person running the fries 102 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: over at McDonald's. That's it. And sure enough what they 103 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: put out is not what they purported to have. They 104 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 2: lied And Jonathan Carl, oh, let me write that down. 105 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: I forgot about him. Oh gosh, John Carl on Colbert's show, 106 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: Holy heck, ABC learns no lessons. And that's just it. 107 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: They think we don't notice them. They think they could 108 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: cover themselves, They think they can get away with anything. 109 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: Here's Schumer March eighteenth, twenty twenty five, saying I had 110 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: to do it. I had to not allow the shutdown. 111 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: It would be massive devastation. Yet now you allow the 112 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: massive devastation. Huh. That's called not having a plan. It 113 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: is obvious to everybody who pays attention that the shutdown 114 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: was about a reaction to what happened the first time 115 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: around with book tours. Can't remember he had but coming 116 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: out book tours canceled, and of course he had to 117 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: cancel his new show, and Food Network had to make 118 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: a cheeseburger. He had to cancel it all. By the way, 119 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: if you don't know about Chuck Schumer and cheeseburgers, just 120 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: go to your search engine and go Chuck Schumer cheeseburger 121 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: and then you will feel ill. So he did this. 122 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: Now let's take it down a part two. The party 123 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: wanted to shut down. They weren't gonna let Trump get 124 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: away with it. That the party apparatic, these progressives of 125 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: foaming at the mouth violent types. They demanded it. And 126 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 2: I way say foaming in the mouth violent types, I 127 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: mean Jasmine Crockett. They demanded that this happened. So you 128 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 2: did it? You shut it down. Now, what it is 129 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 2: so important that everybody understands a Lynsky's rules for radicals? 130 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 2: And you say to me, why in the world would 131 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: I care about what it is that some Marxist Saul 132 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: Lynsky would put out into the world. Well, I think 133 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: it's very, very important that you pay attention to what 134 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: it is that someone like Saul Lensky would put out 135 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: into the world. Let me give you an example here 136 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: of part of what it is that the rules for 137 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: radical state, the rules for radical state. That power is 138 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks 139 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: you have. How you never go out the outside the 140 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: experience of your people, and whenever possible, go outside the 141 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: experience of your enemy. Here is the big one. The 142 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Now 143 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: I actually grab these rules from Wikipedia, but these are 144 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: indeed the rules. They actually got this one correct and accurate. 145 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative, 146 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: meaning that if you are to actually achieve, you now 147 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: have to deal with what it is that you've achieved. 148 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: If the objective is government shutdown, you have to shut 149 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 2: down to a purpose one would think, But no, if 150 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 2: you shut down, and you don't have a purpose, you 151 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: don't have a state of goal. What exactly do you have? 152 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: What exactly is the constructive alternative? And Chuck Schumer never 153 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 2: consulted this because he said, hey, we're gonna shut down 154 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: the government. Everyone said, hey, we're gonna shut down the government. Hooray, 155 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: that's fantastic. And then absolutely nothing happened. Nothing. It was 156 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 2: nothing but silence. Every now and again, the train would 157 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: go by, people would wonder what they were doing on 158 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 2: that train, whether they were having a good time. Oh, 159 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: that little distraction's gone. Now they're back to the shutdown 160 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: with no end game in sight. The shutdown began with 161 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: no end game in sight. So what did they do? 162 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: What did they realize after maybe day three, we're going 163 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 2: to need an endgame? I got it, Obamacare subsidies. You 164 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: think I'm rewriting history. I think I'm accurately denoting history. 165 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 2: So maybe it was only two days, maybe it was 166 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: four days. That's not the point. The shutdown was predicated 167 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: on the idea that they could not keep the government 168 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: open because Chuck Schumer saw what happened the last time 169 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 2: he did, and he wasn't willing to do that again. 170 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 2: Because he's got Alexandria Casi Kortees, nipping at his heels, 171 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 2: breathing down his neck, whatever else type of thing you 172 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: want to call it. He had to do it. The 173 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: party demanded it. And then they said, all right, Chucky, Chucky, 174 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: what's the plan. Boo boo, And Chuck Schumer said, huh, 175 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: you know what, you know what, here's the plan. And 176 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: he didn't have really a plan, and the people said yeah, 177 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 2: they were not impressed. And then he said, I got it. 178 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: Obamacare subsidies, thank you, thank you, cheezburgers for everybody. No, 179 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: no one wants one of my world famous Chuck schumerbergers. Now, 180 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 2: that's shocking, shocking to me. No question of whether or 181 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: not this was popular, no question of whether or not 182 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: this would be seen as valuable. As a matter of fact, 183 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 2: I would argue it took days for everybody to get 184 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 2: on board with this idea, because the whole idea was 185 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: the idea, the concept that somehow you couldn't negotiate this later, 186 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 2: somehow Republicans wouldn't negotiate this at all. But they said, no, no, no, 187 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: this way we'll have the subject. This way we'll be 188 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 2: able to talk about it. In large measure, and when 189 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: Republicans do vote for it, which seemingly they're going to 190 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: do right now, that's the way it looks. We'll be 191 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: able to say, see, we forced him to the table. 192 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: You could have done that in a week and a half. 193 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 2: You could have ended this after the No Kings rally. 194 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: You could have ended this after the election. And some 195 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: people arenna say, well, Tony, they did ended after the election. No, 196 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: they didn't. Because you had Richard Blumenthal, Democratic senator from 197 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: Connecticut who lied about his Vietnam service, saying we can't 198 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: end this. You had Chris Murphy, Democratic Senator beta mail 199 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: from Connecticut saying if we've done this, we're gonna hurt 200 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: our chances in the midterms. And look at all the 201 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: angry Democrats you have because a couple of Democrats in 202 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: the Senate said, you're all nuts. This is over. Well, 203 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer arranged that, maybe, but the anger is still there. 204 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer engaged a shutdown because of his political reality. 205 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: But the Progressives wanted to keep the sh down because 206 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: they want to control political reality. They love the power. 207 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: They loved seeing people get hurt, they love watching children starve. 208 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: Now you say to me, that's rude. I'm telling you 209 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: what else can I take from what it is they did? 210 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: The plan was Chuck Schumer's survival and the survival of 211 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: Democrats against a progressive base that is more rabid than them. 212 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: But only it's a certain measure because Democrats are equally rabid. 213 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: And I know this because they're upset that the shutdown ended. 214 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: So what's really the difference? It was about his political survival, 215 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: and it became about how do you satisfy? Is that 216 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: a constructive alternative? Doesn't sound like it. But it's over now, 217 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: and now we will see where this fallout goes. I'm 218 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz today. There are 219 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: no more pennies. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to deliver 220 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 2: such bad news at such a time fraught with so 221 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: much pain for all of us. I'm sorry. I'm not 222 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 2: in any pain what soever. There are no more pennies. 223 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: That's the pain I thought you were in Tony Kats 224 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: Tony Kats today, guys. Good to be here, Good to 225 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: be with you. Find everything over at tonykats dot com. 226 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: The last penny went off the mint today, or I 227 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: should say yesterday. There in Philadelphia. A penny costs four 228 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: cents to make. It would make sense to me that 229 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: we shouldn't have pennies anymore. Now you still can use 230 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: a penny, it's still currency. You can still pay with pennies. 231 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: If you want to be that person, you could show 232 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: up with a role penny and I don't know what 233 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: you can get yourself, but you can do that. It's 234 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 2: just that we don't make anymore. I know some people 235 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 2: pretend to be bothered by such a thing, but I 236 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: think it is rational to say that if something worth 237 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: one cent costs four cents, that's not a value. That's 238 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: a mistake, and it is Should we now go about 239 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 2: changing pricing and everything will be based on the nickel? 240 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: Why why would anything be ninety nine anymore? Remember ninety 241 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 2: nine is about psychology, right, the psychology of saying that 242 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: it's not ten dollars is only nine ninety nine? Does 243 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: that psychology change if it's ninety five? And as a 244 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 2: follow up, because someone brought this up to me, and 245 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 2: I'm not a retailer, but full disclosure, I will be sooned. 246 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: I have been working on a fair number of things. 247 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 2: So here's a question. If something is nine ninety nine. 248 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 2: Is it considered cheap? But if it's nine ninety five, 249 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 2: it's considered worthy. Does it make a difference if it's 250 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: the nine or the five at the end of the conversation, 251 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: if something is forty nine ninety nine, that's trashy, but 252 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: if it's forty nine ninety five, it's classy. For the record, 253 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: I cannot describe to you how much I hate the 254 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: word classy. Whenever I hear someone say, oh man, that 255 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: was classy, I think to myself, my god, you are 256 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: not every single I don't know why it is. I 257 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 2: don't know what it is that it hits me that way. 258 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 2: Can't tell you how much I despise the word. I 259 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 2: think it's like the way other people hate the word moist. 260 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 2: Like that's how much I absolutely hate the word. I'm 261 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 2: gonna get emails. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna get so 262 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 2: so many emails.

It doesn't make 266 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: a difference. This is Tony Kats today. Find everything at 267 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: Tony Kats dot com.

This 306 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 2: is Jonathan Carl Jonathan Carl is, well, here's we have 307 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 2: the ABC News. Jonathan Carl goes on Stephen Colbert's show 308 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: and he says this, Here's. 309 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 5: The key thing is all of those emails that came 310 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 5: out today, they came from the Epstein estate. So all 311 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 5: this battle over releasing the so called Epstein files from 312 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 5: the Justice Department, this was an additional batchel of documents. 313 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 2: So didn't expect. 314 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 5: And by the way, we've seen a lot of Epstein 315 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 5: stuff over the years through the various criminal cases. These 316 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 5: were all new, and I mean, they raised so many 317 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 5: more questions. Who was the dog that didn't bark? I 318 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 5: mean it was trum. What does that mean exactly? I mean, 319 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 5: and you know, clearly shows that there was much more 320 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 5: of an awareness or it seems to suggest, I should say, 321 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 5: more of an awareness on Trump's part of what was 322 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 5: going on. 323 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: Right at one point, Michael Wolfe, who for some reason 324 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 2: does he say that, why in the world, why in 325 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 2: the world does he say that? Sorry, I say to 326 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 2: you that there's no need to say that. This shows 327 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 2: us something else. This doesn't show us anything else. It 328 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 2: doesn't show us anything else. Because the redacted name is 329 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: Virginia Guphrey and Giffrey, I'm sorry. And Virginia Giffrey's on 330 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: record before her passing she never saw Trump and Epstein together, 331 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: and Trump never acted inappropriately towards her, and she was 332 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 2: never at Epstein's house with Trump. Now you say to me, so, 333 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: you're admitting that Trump and Epstein knew each other. Epstein 334 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: knew everybody. He had crazy money. After he got out 335 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 2: of jail. The first time, there was a dinner in 336 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: New York in his townhouse. You know who was there, 337 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 2: George Stephanoppolos and Chelsea Handler. There's a photo I make 338 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: up the photo was it Ai Generator? And I have 339 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 2: it wrong. He was connected to a lot of people. 340 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 2: He spoke to a lot of people. He was in 341 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 2: a lot of different circles. As we have stated from 342 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: the beginning, if you were to release everything we had, 343 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: if the federal government has on Jeffrey Epstein, release everything, 344 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 2: there are gonna be a lot of names in there. 345 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: A lot of names in there doesn't mean that they're 346 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 2: guilty of anything. It doesn't mean that they are guilty 347 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: of anything. What matters is whether or not they were 348 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: involved in the abuse of children, not that they knew him. 349 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: Very important You can't just decide you're in the files, 350 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: you're guilty. That's not the way it works. But just 351 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: because an email goes out doesn't make Trump guilty, because 352 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 2: he's not. And I want to make sure we're all 353 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: clear on the timeline. Yesterday it was clear that the 354 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: House was going to vote to end the shutdown, and 355 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: then magically, magically, what is it that you see check 356 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 2: this out about Epstein? Oh okay, that's just total coincidence 357 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: and not in any way planned. Sure, gotcha, you bet 358 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: who believes this, who buys into this? It just magically 359 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: appeared or we all showed. Hold on, wait, let me 360 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 2: rephrase that. Do they think we're children? No? Wait, I 361 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 2: know the answer to that. It's not that they think 362 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: we're children. It's that they don't even think about us 363 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 2: at all. They lie without any reservation, none, zero, less 364 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 2: than zero. They do not care. They lie about everything, 365 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: They lie constantly, They lie all the time. Of course 366 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 2: this was timed. First of all, you have Tim Burchett. 367 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 2: I'm getting a comment that Democrats have always blocked the 368 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: release of the Epstein files. That's not the argument. Tim 369 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 2: Burchett said he wanted to release and it was Democrats 370 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: that blocked it, although you could argue that it was 371 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 2: a Republican chairman who blocked it. I want the release 372 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: of the Epstein files. That isn't this conversation you absolute 373 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 2: whimps on the left. The argument did, there's nothing here, 374 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 2: and it got released, so you can engage a change 375 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: of subject after losing this shutdown fight. We see you. 376 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: Boo boo, kitten, honey, smoopy baby, love, sweet cheeks. I 377 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know how many others. If you've 378 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 2: got others, send them, send them my way. I'll use 379 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 2: them right now. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try and 380 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 2: placate you. I'm gonna try it. No, not placate help. 381 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try and soothe you. That's right. I'm gonna 382 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: try and be your woobie. Listen to me. The desperation 383 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: from the political left is to tie Trump to Epstein. 384 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: And I'm here to tell you, look at me when 385 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: I talk to you. Look look deep into my eyes. 386 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: You know. I know it sometimes makes you feel funny, 387 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 2: realizing that a man is dishonest with you, But it's okay. 388 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: You need a little bit in this in your life 389 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: because clearly your spouse never was, nor was your father. 390 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 2: But listen to what I'm saying. If Donald Trump was 391 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 2: involved with children in a sexual way, I want them 392 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: in jail. You know what. I know. There's zero proof 393 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: of such a thing, and it's a really ugly thing 394 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 2: to say just because you want to get some clicks 395 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 2: on social media or because you think it's controlling. That's 396 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 2: proof positive that most probably you've never sexually satisfied anybody 397 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 2: in your entire life. Because look at the extent that 398 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 2: you will go to try and find some kind of 399 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 2: self gratification. Honey, look at me. I'm right here. I'm 400 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 2: helping you through it. We're gonna be okay together. You 401 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 2: can't hate Trump so much. You'll just make it up. 402 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: You'll just lie. Because children, young women were abused, and 403 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: we have to find who did this, and we have 404 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: to put them in jail. I want that. I hope 405 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: you want that. I do not care who they are. 406 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 2: I don't care who their daddy is. I don't care 407 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: how much money they have, or what position they hold, 408 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 2: how much power they have. If they abuse children, they 409 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: have to go to jail. But there is no proof 410 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump did any of this and this release 411 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 2: from the Democrats. This release is nothing. It's zero kids. 412 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: They don't have it. But if you were to ask me, 413 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 2: do I think it is timed perfectly and in every 414 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: single way to be a distraction from the fact that 415 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: Democrats just got there elsis kicked on the shutdown? Yeah, yeah, 416 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: I do. Ten. Does it matter what little comments you 417 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: put in social media? Does it matter the trolling? What 418 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: matters are the facts. Reality is what it is. Even 419 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: when we talk about the uh, the redacting, why was 420 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 2: the name redacted? Everybody knows who it is that we're 421 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 2: talking about here. Everybody knows who we're talking about. So 422 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 2: why in the world would you redact the name? Does 423 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: it make any sense? And then you've got Jasmine Crockett. 424 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: Check this out. 425 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 3: This is an email from April second, twenty eleven. Republicans 426 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 3: were saying that that victim is Virginia Giuffrey. As you know, 427 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 3: she died by suicide, cheeger and very outspoken, very outspoken 428 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 3: victim of Jeffrey Epstein. Here's the email right here on 429 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 3: your screen. She wrote a book, as you know, and 430 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 3: she did not accuse him of any wrongdoing. What do 431 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 3: you make about it? Can you confirm that. 432 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. 433 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 6: Obviously it's redacted who the victim is, so I won't 434 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 6: necessarily take the Republicans word on who it is that's redacted. 435 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 6: And I don't know why they would necessarily redect someone's 436 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 6: name who is deceased at this point. 437 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 3: The Democrats did that though. 438 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 2: The Democrats were done though, I understand that. 439 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 6: I'm just saying, like, our biggest concern is to actually 440 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,479 Speaker 6: make sure that we are protecting victims. And obviously she 441 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 6: wrote a book, she told her truth. 442 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 3: This is an email from April second, so twenty eleven. 443 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: The redaction was done by Democrats. Jasmine Crockett wants to 444 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: say she knew that clearly, Clearly she didn't. They don't 445 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 2: even know what it is that they're talking about. All 446 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: they want to be able to say is Trump bad. 447 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 2: You could say Trump bad and a whole bunch of subjects. 448 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 2: But can't you have a fact with you. You got 449 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 2: to make it up. Never ever ever trust the New 450 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: York Times and in any of these people, these media people, 451 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: these mainstream people, check double check and recheck. Don't ever 452 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 2: take their for it. Oh yeah, the timing is suspicious, 453 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: and you know why distraction. That's obvious. I'm Tony Katz. 454 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 2: We have reached the moment where the streaming services, if 455 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: you were to have them all, it's costing you as 456 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: much as cable. Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, good to 457 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 2: be with you. Wall Street Journal had the story that 458 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 2: every single streaming service has gone up in price since 459 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. This is not surprising, I think to many 460 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 2: many people. HBO Max has gone up twenty three percent 461 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 2: and Disney Plus has gone up one hundred and seventy 462 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 2: two percent. That is a spread. The problem is is 463 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: that that is a very it's it's misleading. It's a 464 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: very very misleading bit of data. Let me let me 465 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: tell you why. If I were to take a look 466 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 2: at this, this is the Wall Street Journal, and you 467 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 2: see these numbers here about the increase in prices, Well, 468 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: first you have to ask yourself what is the standard 469 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 2: price and who actually pays that? If you were to 470 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 2: have Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney Plus, Peacock, Paramount plus, 471 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: an Apple, you're paying seventy two to seventy five dollars 472 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 2: a month for the standard, the basic. You know, and 473 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 2: I know that people don't have the basic they have 474 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: other things. So if you take a look at Netflix, 475 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 2: for example, their price increases. They started like that seven 476 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 2: ninety nine a month and they've moved up to a 477 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: premium of twenty four ninety nine. Disney Plus started somewhere 478 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 2: around six dollars and have moved to eighteen ninety nine. 479 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 2: So the percentage isn't as shocking as the number because 480 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 2: the number for all of them, all these services is 481 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 2: basically the same, somewhere between seventeen and twenty five dollars. 482 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 2: They're all within that range. Apple TV, I think, is 483 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: still less expensive, Apple TV and Powermount Plus at the 484 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 2: bottom numbers. There something has to give, right or is 485 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 2: this more of a conversation of listen nobody does it 486 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 2: goes out anymore? Why I have big screen TVs? I 487 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 2: have all this content. What's the point of leaving the 488 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 2: house which creates another whole set of problems? The story 489 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 2: is there tonykats dot com. Check it out for yourself. 490 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz today.
