So it's l SA ed winning the 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:30.479 Michigan primary. The news just coming across and good on 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:31.720 the Michigan Democrats. 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:32.000 Huh. 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:33.800 Why make it. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.800 Easier for yourself when you can make it more difficult 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.360 for yourself? Why make it easy on yourself when you 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.839 can expose that half the Democratic Party isn't interested in 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:48.320 this communist Islamist nonsense. But hey, too late now, fourteen 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:50.480 eighty eight votes. 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:55.080 That's what he won by. It's a percentage point. That 0:00:55.440 --> 0:01:01.640 was the margin difference in that rate. 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:06.000 Kats Tony Katz today. Good to be here, Good to 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:13.640 be with you. The numbers, man, it tells a story. 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.080 All the numbers have changed, Nahn either. I think I've 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.959 got it right. He's got forty eight point four eight 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:27.400 percent of the vote. Does the Islamist versus Stevens forty 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:32.520 seven point five? Now, I admit to you, I think 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.080 it was gonna be kind of hard for Stevens to 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.400 win when this is her. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.160 A little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.319 and a little bit of sicket to. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:48.560 Them, right right, I think it's gonna be so good. 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.480 I think it's gonna be a little bit rough, and 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.960 maybe I'm being rough and calling uh I do. I'll 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.640 say it, uh An is lomist. 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.960 I will say this when you say to me, hey, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.720 let's not bring up the death of the Iyatola because 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:07.480 some of my voters will be sad. You have different 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:11.760 priorities than I do. Also, don't tell me that you're 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.880 a capitalist who opposes monopolies like Adam Smith, the Scottish economist, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.560 when you believe in Medicare for all, which is government 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.440 monopoly of your health, which is of course about control 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.119 and turning doctors and nurses and health officials into slaves. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.519 But let's put all that aside. You cannot unring the bell. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:33.520 A lot happened in. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:38.160 The primaries yesterday. Fascinating stuff from the primaries yesterday, Things 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:43.160 that nobody is talking about. How about the fact that 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:55.239 Corey Bush got schalacked, Corey Bush got wrecked. Connor McGregor's 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.720 knee looks better than Corey Bush. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.200 That's not a bad it's not a bad reference. By 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.480 the way. I'll take that. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:09.840 Corey Bush is the former congresswoman of Missouri first District, 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.960 and she, of course is one of. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:20.560 The more original kind of weirdos. 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.520 I remember she made her career by doing hands up, 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.200 don't shoot after the shooting death of Michael Brown Ferguson. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.560 That's how she made her bones. Lied about the whole thing. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:38.120 She lied about the entire thing is what she did, 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.080 because there was no hands up, don't shoot. Michael Brown 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.400 attacked a cop, broke his orbital socket, walked away, and 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.480 then ran back after the cop, and that's when he 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:48.920 got shot. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:49.880 According to the Arik. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:55.320 Holder Justice Department, she's a fraud and everything about her 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:55.920 was awoke. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:57.360 This and a critical race. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.280 Theory that and an intersectionality that and of course moving 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.680 into the communism was super easy for her because she 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:03.840 thought it would have meant victory. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:05.760 She got the crap kicked. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:06.880 Out of her by someone named by the name of 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.880 Wesley Bell. Wesley Bell got fifty nine point two percent 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.640 of the vote. She got thirty six point nine percent 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.920 of the vote, twenty three points. Bravo, bravo. Now put 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.760 your hands up, say I give and go. Sit down. 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:28.479 Nobody wants to see you anymore. Great to see. Then 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:33.960 there's some of the more crazy stuff to see. If 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.000 you take a look by the way, all my results 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.520 are from the New York Times. 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.480 You're like Tony, you're using the New York Times. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.240 When it comes to their election coverage, like how they 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:51.680 do the data, they're outstandingly good. The data part is spectacular, 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:53.920 really and truly. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:00.880 Kansas put an amendment out. They had a couple of 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:06.400 things put out. One of those things put out was 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:14.719 whether or not they should require elections for Supreme State 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:19.840 Supreme Court justices Kansas Supreme Court. Should they require elections 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:26.800 to do it? And what did they determine? Nope, No, 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:31.560 thanks don't need it. We don't need these elections. Sixty 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:38.520 one said, nah, that's that's amazing. 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:45.840 Why wouldn't you vote for Supreme Court justices? And you'll 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.320 note where the vote totals come in is to peak 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.839 in Wichita. So the more left cleaning areas believe that 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.360 they're the population centers and they could just keep hand 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.880 selecting their Supreme Court justices and therefore or never have 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.200 any question regarding what the rest of the state may 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.600 actually be interested in. They wanted by one hundred and 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:12.840 fifty thousand votes. But this is the one that's the knockout. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:18.800 This is Missouri, and Missouri asked the question, do you 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:24.920 want to eliminate the income tax? So individual income tax 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.600 makes up more than sixty percent of the state's general revenue. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:29.920 The question is do you want to change that around 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.680 and eliminate the income tax? 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:34.640 And they voted no. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:41.240 Eighty three point three percent. You look at the whole map. 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.120 If you take a look at it, the whole map Missouri, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:45.560 the no votes were in. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.520 An orange and the yes votes were in this like 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.880 teal green. The whole thing is orange. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:59.520 It's unbelievable, it's incredible. You look at it, you like, 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.279 that's crazy town. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:10.800 Every single county was a Only one county was ah no, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:15.080 but close, Nope, all of them, all the rest solid, 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:21.760 solid nose. I'm blown away by that one. So there 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.800 was a lot that happened, and we should be clear 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:30.200 that the socialists didn't win everywhere. They lost, as I said, 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.560 in the Missouri first, they lost in the Virginia second. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.120 Now remember they lost to Democrats. We're still talking about 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.160 people who you may not agree with politically, but they're 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.920 not communists. And so one could argue that this is 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.800 a pushback against what the DSSAY is doing. The problem 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.480 with that argument is that one thinks that pushback means 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.720 that the other side feels it or changes DSA isn't 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.040 going to change anything. They're not going to change a thing. 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.840 Even if they had lost to Haley Stevens in Michigan, 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.160 they would not have changed the thing. 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:13.080 But they didn't. They got their prize, and their prize 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:18.280 was Abdullah El Sayed into this race. 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.360 It is time for the group chat, and there is 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.920 so much to talk about today. It seems we do 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.320 have a winner in the Democratic Party's biggest and most 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.880 expensive primary of this summer. We can now officially report 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.400 that Abdul al Sayed has won the Democratic primary for 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.160 the US Senate in Michigan. We just heard from El 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:41.440 Sayed's campaign that Stevens called him to officially concede. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.320 Now she was down by a percent. She could have, 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:50.160 I guess challenged it, but Selavi. Nothing changes. Where these 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:55.520 communists are. Nothing's going to change their presentation, absolutely nothing. 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:02.000 They believe that this is their moment and they are 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.280 not going to not take their moment. 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:11.120 If they should lose, they keep going. If they win, 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.920 they keep going. And where do they keep going, Well, 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.360 they keep moving further and further and further. Left to 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:18.440 they get their goals. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.200 And when they get their goals, just like Alynsky taught, right, 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.000 once you have a tactic that works and you get 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:27.600 the thing you want, you actually have to go do 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:28.000 the thing. 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.880 Well, then they'll move further and further to the left. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:33.520 And since these. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.040 Are people who believe in the permanent revolution, there will 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:41.640 be another group that says you're not left enough. That's 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.840 how this goes. That's how this works. That's where they 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.040 are at. So win or lose. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:53.559 They were not about to change a thing. They weren't 0:09:53.600 --> 0:10:00.120 going to change anything. They are not interested what happens 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:05.400 in the election in Michigan. Worthy question. Let's start with 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:10.360 the basics. What we know to be true. We know 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:17.000 that the party is split. We know that when we take. 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.120 A look at the Michigan results, we see forty eight 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.840 point four to eight percent for Elsa ed and forty 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.200 seven point five to one percent for Stevens, a difference, 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.319 as I said of oh, actually, actually I think it's 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.080 thirteen thousand, nine hundred and eighty eight votes, not fourteen thousand. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:41.840 Let's called fourteen thousand votes. That means that the. 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:47.960 Democrat Party, the likely voter, is split. One could argue 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.320 that that is not the totality of voters in a 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.160 general election. General election will bring out more people. One 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.840 could argue such a thing. But amongst the Democrats who 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:05.360 are voting right now, they are split. Ask yourself about 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.920 the Stephens voter for what reason did they vote for Stevens. 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.000 Some of them voted for Haley Stevens because Haley Stephens 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:19.080 is a woman. Of course, I don't think anybody questions this, 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:26.760 would you what a foolhardy thing to question? Of course 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.360 people vote that way. They voted for her because she's 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:31.760 a woman. 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.480 There are people who voted for her. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:41.839 Because they didn't like abdua Alsad's policies. Some of those 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.520 people would be Jewish voters who didn't want a guy 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.240 who was screaming and yelling about APAC Like somehow it 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.000 makes sense. The anti APAX stuff is amongst the stupidest 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:58.880 stuff out there. It's just ridiculous. It is regurgitated Pavlovian nonsense. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.640 So everybody knows that they're all in the same group. 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.359 Nobody wants to be seen not saying something bad about APAK. 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.560 There are people who are like, no, this is just dumb, 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.160 and for religious reasons, and other reasons. I'm not voting 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:21.679 for Abdulsi ed right and not doing that. Some people 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.680 didn't want to vote for a guy who's clearly UH 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:31.480 and Islamist. They didn't want to be around that. By 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.680 the way, quick thing back to APAK. I guess if 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:40.400 lsied wins. APAC doesn't determine elections, right, They don't determine 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:44.760 the outcome of elections. They already lost and Representative Ocossia 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.160 Cortes Caimana convection, bitch all she wants. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:48.120 They lost. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.880 They put the money into Haley Stevens and they lost. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:55.280 They don't control elections. You have improven or wrong? Please 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.640 sit down, would you? 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.440 Hey? At least that argument, sit down? Could you do that? 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.079 So there could be a serious number of reasons or 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.880 multiplicity of reasons the people don't vote for el say it, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.840 that's in a primary. What happens in a general when 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:21.680 you're going up against the Republican rogers? What happens in 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:28.880 this moment? I don't know. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:35.679 Do those people hold their nose and say, yeah, sure 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.840 he's a communist, and yeah sure he has a thing 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:43.440 for the Islamists, and yeah sure he's supported by the DSA, 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.880 but Trump bad, so I have to vote for him. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.760 Do they say, I'm not gonna tell a soul what 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.080 I'm doing. I'm gonna walk into the voting booth and 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.679 I'm voting for that Republican and then I'm gonna. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.719 Take a shower with Brillow. But that's the way it 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.960 happen to be because that guy can't be in office. 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:08.160 Or do they say, you know what Election Day, No, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:09.640 I'm not gonna have any part of this. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.880 I'm just gonna Netflix and Show. Now, I know what 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.680 Netflix and Chill means, and maybe they'll do that, or 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.840 maybe they're just gonna sit on the couch and watch Netflix. 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:18.480 I don't know. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.720 You understand, Producer Landing, and Netflix and Show means more 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:22.920 than Netflix and Show. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.320 Yes, correct, you understand that, right, Producer Landing? Yes, correct, Yeah, Okay, 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.600 that's correct. That's accurate. When the kids say they're going 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:35.600 to Netflix and Shell, they're not alone. I'm just you 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:36.160 gotta know. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.280 They're just gonna sit there and they're gonna binge watch 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.960 the Bear for the seventh time and forget that election 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.040 day ever happens. They're gonna hold their nose. They're gonna 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.880 secretly vote for the Republican or they're going to do nothing. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:00.040 Two out of the three of those responses are re 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:06.920 bad for Abdul Sayet and the Democrats, really bad because 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.680 there are also other elections going on in Michigan. You've 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.800 got congressional stuff, You've got a governor's or, you have 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.000 a governor's race going on. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:18.280 You've got other things. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.920 And now you've got a guy on the ticket that 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.480 can depress Democrat turnout. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:33.600 Okay, now we got ourselves a story. Now we've got 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.800 something to watch. I don't know about you. I got 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.640 a lot of bourbon. I got I there's you want 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:39.880 to go, I'll grab any bottle. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.800 We are gonna election day, We're gonna pour ourselves a drink, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:49.120 and we're gonna watch this. I could be wrong, absolutely, 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.960 but if I'm looking at the data right now, which 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:58.840 I am, two of the three possibilities are not only 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:03.160 very bad for Abduel's very bad for Democrats in Michigan. 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.680 And trust me when I say Republicans have all the 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:15.680 power to screw this up in ways you cannot possibly comprehend. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.680 I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz. 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:24.800 Today we've got an I ran update coming up. It's well, 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.760 whatever it is you want it to be, I guess. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.400 But I have spoken a lot about USAID and I 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.240 want to say it again. I'm glad the organization is gone. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.320 I want to continue with the DOGE cuts. I want 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:40.880 to continue seeking out the fraudsters. I want these people 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:48.720 to go to jail. I want them to suffer. Tony Katz, 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.040 Tony Katz today, a pleasure to be with you guys. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.880 And yes, I will discuss the assassination attempt. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.680 Against President Trump and that whole story. There. There was 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.640 a story in the Washington Times about. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.879 USAID cuts, Ebola crisis in Africa, open door to Beijing's 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:13.840 bid for influence in the Congo. Now never forget that 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.880 foreign aid is also about soft power. 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.680 And the idea that hey, we'll give you these. 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.639 Dollars, you don't connect with them, and everything's cool. I 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.320 don't know if the Tucker set agrees with this philosophy 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:29.560 or not. 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.720 It seems to me that they don't, and it seems 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:32.040 to me. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.840 That that is a serious, serious issue. I do not 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.440 believe that it is our job to give money everywhere, 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.800 and I don't mind if people say let's end far 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:42.280 An aid. 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:47.720 Okay, end it, end toto, end it. We'll see what happens. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.320 I just want them to realize that others will try 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:55.720 and fill the void. But when we got rid of USAID, 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.520 people are like, we're gonna We're gonna get people killed, 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.760 going to die because we're not giving them the money. 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.160 Here's a great example. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:09.240 Here is the Democratic Republic of Congo dealing with an 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:13.160 ebola outbreak, more than thirty four hundred cases over sixteen 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:17.439 hundred deaths reported since May fifteenth. Should we or should 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:21.280 we not be in the business of supporting them through this? 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.920 I would argue that it's not a bad idea when 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:30.240 dealing with certain issues to be helpful, because you don't 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.280 want that thing finding its way through through person and 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.120 the weirdest game of telephone ever and ending up in 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.040 your city, in your state, and your country. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:39.800 You don't want that disease around. 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.199 Would we need to in this situation talking about this 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.960 situation with Congo specifically. 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:50.720 Do you think it's necessary for us. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.760 To give that money to be able to be helpful 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.280 through USAID or is it possible we could do this 0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:02.240 through some other organization. And this is the point. We 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:07.440 can always be helpful when it is needed or when 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.960 we think there is a needed alignment. They could be 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.119 two different things. They could be the same thing. You 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:17.399 don't need this USAID organization to do it, you just 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:22.520 go about doing it. USAID was never necessary and not 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.000 a life was lost because that organization got defunded because 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.679 we could, like we did with AMPHAR, still be helpful 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.600 in all sorts of ways. It was a slush fund 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.920 to help like minded ideologues be able to get paid 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.320 to move money, like minded ideologues to do us harm. 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.119 It's better that it's gone. I'm Tony Kats. 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:46.080 We are here to kick off what has at this 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:50.320 point been an informal effort, which is working with Congress 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.200 to help us combat frauds. So, as you know, when 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:54.640 the President the United States. 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.040 Started the Fraud Task Force. 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.520 And really set the federal government to taking a whole 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.360 of government approach to the anti f fraud issue, that 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:04.320 was mainly an administrative thing. That was something we were 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.200 working with our colleagues at h ANDHS, at DOJ, at 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.080 all of the various agencies in the federal government and 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:12.280 trying to root out fraud. And i'd remind all of 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.800 you and remind the American people, and remind what these 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.359 Congressmen and senators don't need reminding, which is that fraud 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.679 is really a dual victim crime. The most obvious victim, 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.560 of course, is the American taxpayer, who has their hard 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.919 earned tax dollars stolen from them to enrich people who 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.480 are violating our laws and take advantage of our country. 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:34.800 But I think, more profoundly and more sadly, the second 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.480 victim of fraud are the people who benefit from programs 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.280 that the American people have set up in their generosity 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.400 and in their kindness of spirit, and those programs don't 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.560 function as well or don't even have their resources necessary 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:50.800 to work because they've been stolen from by fraudsters. 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.639 He is not wrong, is the Vice President Tony Katz. 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.119 Tony Katz today an absolute pleasure to be with you 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.480 live streaming on YouTube and rumble. Just look for Tony 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.680 Katz on the Twitter, which is also known as ex 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.640 Tony Katz, Facebook, Tony Kats or radio. It's the Vice 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.520 President is there and Steven Miller is right next to him. 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:12.359 And somewhere during that little opening, someone told Steven Miller 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:18.240 to smile, and he did. Every time we're talking about 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.280 the fraud. Every time we're talking about finding the fraud, 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:25.439 rooting out the fraud. Good, good guys. I was just 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:29.080 talking about Doge earlier. These are the good things. These 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:33.560 are the rights and smart things. We need to be 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:34.560 staying on this. 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:39.320 And never stop and never quit ever. This is the 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.760 thing that we want. And yes, this is what I 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:46.680 voted for. I'm always voting for this. Find the fraudsters 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:49.080 and put them in jail. But if I don't get jail, 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.960 if I don't see these people behind bars, then I'm 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:55.720 gonna think, mister Vice President, that. 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.840 You're full of crap, and you, Steven Miller and everybody 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:00.280 else else. 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:05.879 People have to go to jail. That's what has to happen. 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.400 And if people don't go to jail. And I'm not 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:10.600 just talking. 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:15.240 About the Somali national in Minneapolis, or the American in 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.880 Los Angeles with the hospice fraud, or in this state, 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.600 or and that my beloved state of Indiana, all fifty 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:25.440 states have this fraud. I'm talking about the elected officials. 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.960 I'm talking about the unelected bureaucrats who all look the 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.880 other way and allowed this to happen, never question, never 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.760 did their job well never actually said, hey, wait a second, 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.880 we have to be a safeguard of the people's dollars 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.800 here these receipts. 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:42.040 Doesn't make any sense. 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.359 If some of them, I mean, I want all, but 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:47.920 I know I'm not gonna get all. 0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:50.560 If some of them aren't going to. 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:58.120 Jail, then I don't know what we're doing that simply 0:22:58.800 --> 0:22:59.760 will not do. 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:07.680 If they're not going to go to jail, well, then 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.440 there's no reason to vote for you, whatsoever is there, 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:11.400 mister Vice President. 0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:16.400 I'm just telling you how this has to work. Now, 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:21.000 this brings us to what's going on in Iran. From 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:24.960 what I'm told, we are just moments away from. 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:27.800 A deal that's going to make oil free for everybody. 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:30.960 You get a barrel of oil, and you get a 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.520 barrel of oil. Look under your seat. Everybody gets a 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.760 barrel of oil and a lavender candle. I think I 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:38.960 stole that line from Tina Fay, not the barrel of 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:40.320 oil line. That was all me. 0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:46.600 US and regional partners see progress toward reopening the horror 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:47.600 moves choke points. 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:54.720 Interesting. Interesting, and literally the same day that headline came out, 0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:58.920 came out Emerging horror Moves Accord could give a ran 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:05.840 greater sway over Key Waterway. Huh okay, well this is 0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:06.480 going great. 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:10.960 So what actually is happening? What is going on? What 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:13.840 will we see out of Iran? Well, maybe the answer 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:17.440 is in oil prices. Seventy five dollars and seventy one 0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:21.480 cents a barrel hasn't really moved since yesterday. 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:26.520 It's lower than being in the nineties. That's a plus. 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:28.760 Brent crude, which is coming out of the oceans the 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.119 West Texas comes out of the ground. Brent crude had 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.159 seventy nine dollars and eighty four cents a barrel, still 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:38.680 both under eighty bucks a barrel. Gotta be making people happy. 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:47.320 How possibly could there be any situation in which Iran 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:52.159 has a sway? Well, this is reported by the New 0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:55.760 York Times, So you'll forgive me if I won't just say, 0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:59.679 let's wait and find out. It's the New York Times 0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:04.240 world class maps showing where the votes are coming from 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:07.080 in any given state or any different congressional district in 0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:14.000 primary general elections. Incredible technology. Reporting will pass, I will pass. 0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:21.840 They're saying the New York Times that Iranian US officials 0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:24.960 said Iran and Oman are moving toward an agreement that 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:28.680 would allow commercial shipping to resume through the Strait, and 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.879 Iranian officials said inbound vessels would use a shipping lane 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.919 along Iran's coastline, while outbound traffic would move through a 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:41.920 channel closer to Aman. It would not include formal tolls, 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:47.560 but would impose a service fee. Feel the the air 0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:55.159
