1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Line from Vaal Hartbeyer and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today.

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: Administration. That's exactly what we want. We want to get

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: people off the sidelines and give them a good job

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: with good pay, and we're seeing a lot of evidence

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: that that is happening under President Trump's leadership.

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: That's JD. Vance. He's the Vice President of the United States.

8
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: Question. You've seen pictures Jacob and he is speaking in

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania about the economy. Tony Katz, Tony Kats Today, Good

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 3: to be with you. Of course they're talking about the economy.

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: The midterms started months ago and they're now starting to

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 3: understand how to deliver a message. The question was about, well,

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: lay we got all these jobs and excuse me, unemployment

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: is now four point six percent.

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: You've got layoffs. What do you say to that decade?

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: Just Jadie Vance's answer. A lot of that was government jobs.

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the cutting, and it's good. We

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: want more jobs with people Trump who are really working,

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: not government bureaucraft ediency.

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: I'd like to solid answer for a certain type of person.

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 3: If I'm Tony Katz, the show is Tony Kats Today.

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: Let's take it to Vice President Jade Vance.

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: I'll trust I'll trust what you said. I haven't looked

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: at the article. I of course have heard about it.

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: But conspiracy theorist sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true.

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: And by the way, Susie and I have joked in

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: private and in public about that for a long time.

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty that it was stupid to mask three

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: year olds at the COVID pandemic, that we should actually

32
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: let them develop some language skills.

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: You know.

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: I believed in this crazy conspiracy theory that the media

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: and the government we're covering up the fact that Joe

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: Biden was clearly unable.

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: To do the job.

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: Copiacy theory that Joe Biden was trying to throw his

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: political opponents in jail rather than win an argument.

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: Against this political opponent.

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: So, at least on some of these conspiracy theories, it

42
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: turns out that a conspiracy theory is just something that

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: was true six months before the media admitted it. And

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: that's that's my understanding. Now, look, I I do want

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: to say something about Susie though, because again having not

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 2: read this.

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: This is about Susie.

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: Susie come to know very very well, and you know

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: a lot of you probably ask yourself, what is it

50
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: like behind the scenes, what's going on actually behind the scenes.

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Of the Trump administration?

52
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you the president is exactly in private

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: who he.

54
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: Is in public. I'll tell you a little story. A

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: few maybe she a week or so ago.

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: I walk into the Oval office and Marco and I

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: are sitting there talking with a president about here you're.

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Finger on the dumb button.

59
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: Producer land listen her shoes and says, you guys have

60
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: to hear.

61
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: Okay, he cleaned it up, he said, terrible shoes. That's

62
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: not how he told the story at first.

63
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: This is all about Susie Wiles and an article from

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: the New York Post, which is about an article of

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: Vanity Fair regarding a series of interviews that Susie Wiles's

66
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: the chief of staff, gave, where she's now coming out

67
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 3: to say, oh, that's not what I said, and oh

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: they misrepresented. The question is, why in the world are

69
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: you doing an interview for Vanity Fair.

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: Haven't we learned already that this stuff doesn't work. Why

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: does this happen?

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: I'll get into more of that, but Jadie Vance was

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: there in Pennsylvania to talk about the economy, so I

74
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: wanted to hopefully get.

75
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: Some of that.

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: He started the speech a little bit earlier, before the

77
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: before the show began taking the questions, and I just

78
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: want to get a little bit more from the Vice President.

79
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: And you know why I really love Susie Wiles, because

80
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: Susie is who she is and the president's presidence, she's

81
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: the same exact person when the President isn't around. I've

82
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: never seen Susie Wiles say something to the President and

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: then go and counteract him or subvert his will behind

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: the scenes. And that's what you wanted a stafford. Because

85
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: as much as I love Susie, the American people didn't

86
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 2: at any staffer. They elected the president of the United States.

87
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: And what you want and what you want in a

88
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: staffer is a person who understands they are there to

89
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: effectuate the will of the American people and they're there

90
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: to follow the orders of the duly elected commander in

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: chief of the United States. And Susie Wiles, we have

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: our disagreements, we agree on much more than we disagree,

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: but I've never seen her be disloyal to the President

94
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: of the United States, and that makes her the best

95
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: White House chief of staff that I think the President

96
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 2: could ask for.

97
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: That's a full throat of defense and Susie Wiles right

98
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: there from Jadie Vance.

99
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: And the last thing I'll say is if any of

100
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: us have learned a lesson from that Vanity Fair article,

101
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: I hope that the lesson is we should be giving

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: fewer interviews to mainstream media outlets. So so with that

103
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: lesson internalized, I'm going to stop taking questions.

104
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: And just leave you.

105
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: Leave you with one final note, and again it's just

106
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: a note of gratitude. This is the coolest job I've

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: ever had. Agree with us or disagree with us. I'm

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: sure that every single person in this room made something

109
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: happen to get me to this job. You went out

110
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: there and voted, maybe you're persuaded one of your relatives

111
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: to vote, maybe even volunteered or knocked on doors or

112
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: made phone calls for us. I will never forget that

113
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: My job every single day is to make it so

114
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: that you guys can have a safe and prosperous life

115
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: in this country. That all of us love, We thank you,

116
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: Thank you boy.

117
00:05:59,200 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: He's not wrong about that.

118
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: I want the job done the way I want the

119
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: job done, and I want you to do the job.

120
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: And this is, of course the only thing I care about.

121
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: I'm not even shy about it. This is what matters.

122
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: The other stuff doesn't matter, your personality.

123
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Your feelings.

124
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: Do the job that we asked you to do, that

125
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 3: you said you were gonna do, or we'll replace you

126
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: with somebody else. I think it's just that easy. But

127
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna get into the Susie wild stuff just yet.

128
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: I was gonna save it for later. But man, it's

129
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: a fascinating story. Because New York Times comes out today,

130
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: I'll do it now, I'll do it now.

131
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: New York Times comes.

132
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: Out today with this piece about Susie Wiles, the White

133
00:06:49,760 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: House chief of Staff, and how she's calling Trump an

134
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: alcoholic personality, She's calling russ Vote a right wing zealot,

135
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: calling basically calling Elon Musk a ketemy, an addict.

136
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: It's it's it's crazy. And she sat down.

137
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: For a series of interviews with this guy from Vanity

138
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 3: Fair and the question, of course, is why why would

139
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: you do it? What's the point, what's the value? How

140
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: did you think it was going to work? There was

141
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: absolutely no way it was going to work out, none

142
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: less than none. Then again, Republicans still go on ABC

143
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: and still do interviews with George Stephanoppolis. That's not going

144
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: to work out either, not by any stretch.

145
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: So all of this comes out.

146
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: Susie Wiles then comes out to say, you know what,

147
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: this is not I was totally misrepresented. This is not

148
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: what happened, this is this is not it at all.

149
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: It's it just right. It's one of those.

150
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: And Caroline Levitt is now coming out to support Susie Wiles.

151
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: An interesting one is Senator Todd Young of Indiana. Now

152
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: Magaville hates Todd Young, Mike Senator.

153
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: By the way, I mean Indiana. They hate the man.

154
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: You know how redistricting failed in Indiana.

155
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: They blame Todd Young because he has a consultant by

156
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: named mcam Savage who allegedly was telling members of the

157
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: Indiana General Assembly the Indiana Senate, hey, if you get

158
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: any pressure because you're not gonna vote for redistrict, don't worry.

159
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 3: I'll help you raise money or get support so you.

160
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: Can keep your seat. I don't know. That's all got said.

161
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea if it's true.

162
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: So Todd Young has taken shrapnel from this thing, what

163
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: does he come out to say. Susie Wilds is one

164
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: of the presidents best liaisons to Congress and has been

165
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: accessible professional since day one of the Trump administration. She's

166
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: a critical member of his team, and I am grateful

167
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: for her service. Coming in strong and hot is Todd Young.

168
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 3: And every word on the street is that Trump hates him.

169
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: Oh, Trump hates him. But I mean now the defense

170
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: is coming from everywhere.

171
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: So what's real and what's not, and what's true and

172
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: what's false? And what God said here and what God

173
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: said there?

174
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

175
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: But I'll never understand why it is that these people

176
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: do these interviews with those they know who are going

177
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: to do them harm. As a matter of course, I'll

178
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: speak for myself, and I do interviews with I guess

179
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: what can be called friendlies.

180
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: Although I do an interview with anyone, I have the.

181
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: Same exact approach everywhere and all the time, in every

182
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: single situation, every single one, The interview is based on

183
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: hurting you. Now, I will tell people that if you

184
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: don't understand that. If you don't know that, if you're

185
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: not aware of that, you have not been in this

186
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: business very long. Every interview is set up to hurt you,

187
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: even ones that are friendly, which is to say, you know,

188
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: cable news, things like that, it's meant to hurt you.

189
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: The best you can do is not hurt yourself. You

190
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: hurt yourself a little. You could hurt yourself by sneezing.

191
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 3: There's there's a million ways that an interview will go

192
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 3: wrong and completely completely.

193
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Mess you up.

194
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 3: It is advisable not to do them, very very advisable.

195
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: Why would you do an interview with Vanity fair.

196
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: To mind scramble? I wholeheartedly agree it is. Do I

197
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: believe anything that was said?

198
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Honestly?

199
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: Of course, there's some parts of it that are definitely

200
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: going to be true. Did would I believe? And I

201
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: would say this is Cuzi Wiles. I don't know Cusey Wiles.

202
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never met her.

203
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: Do I believe that she said that about Trump's personality

204
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 3: and Rubio's personality and this one now?

205
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely do? I also believe that it was probably.

206
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: Part of a longer conversation that was taken out of

207
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: context and specific pieces pulled in order to be able

208
00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: to have maximum effect and do maximum damage. Absolutely, the

209
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: question is did Susie Wiles record the interview? That's what

210
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: I'm waiting to find out. Did Susie Wiles record the

211
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 3: interview give a vanity fair the opportunity to retract or

212
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 3: amend or or engage what do.

213
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: They call that the correction? Right? Or or?

214
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: Or does she wait for that and then when it

215
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: doesn't happen, she releases what actually happened in the interview,

216
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden we got a whole new

217
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: level of lawsuit. You think ABC or the BBC have ensued.

218
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: You ain't seen nothing. CBS is gonna look like Kids Play. Hell,

219
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: CBS will look like kid and Play. I was thinking

220
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: about getting a fade. No, it's a flat top. It

221
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: was a flat top, right, you know what I'm talking about,

222
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 3: produceral landing with kidding play.

223
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: That way way way before your time. I think, so, yeah,

224
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: it was a flat top straight right across right there.

225
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I'll we'll find out soon enough.

226
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: But until then, the idea of doing these interviews it

227
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: never works out well, and that questions are already being asked

228
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: about it is of course well, what do you expect now.

229
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a good change of subject from things like

230
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 3: Trump on Rob Reiner and Venezuela, except the Venezuela conversation

231
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: is not going anywhere. It is front and center, and

232
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 3: senators came out today to say we have seen video

233
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: and we are left wanting, well, that was mostly Chuck Schumer.

234
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today.

235
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: President Trump has a theory about weed. I bet you

236
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: didn't know that the man had a theory about weed. Oh,

237
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: the man's got a theory about everything. Tony Katz, Tony

238
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: Kats today, Good to be with you. Find it all

239
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: Tony kats dot com. He wants to change the classification.

240
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: He wants to change the classification of marijuana from a

241
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: Schedule one. I think it is to a Schedule three.

242
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: And the rationale is that what you would you would

243
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: do is lower the penalties.

244
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: For engaging for smoking marijuana.

245
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: Sir, on the issue of drugs, is is it accurate

246
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: that you are considering an executive order to reclassify marijuana.

247
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 5: We are considering that you because a lot of people

248
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: want to see it, the reclassification, because it leads to

249
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,359
Speaker 5: tremendous amounts of research that can't be done unless you reclassify.

250
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: So we are looking at that very strongly.

251
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: One of the arguments against this is that you would

252
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: be changing the the classification, right, you'd be changing the well,

253
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: the criminal penalty. That's that seems to be a part

254
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: of the issue that people on the political right have

255
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: like this is this is not a move this downgrading

256
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: of marijuana that we that that that we like going

257
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: from a schedule of narcotics to a Schedule three drug.

258
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: There's also it gives a big marijuana I swear to you.

259
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: A political activist said it was big marijuana like big oil,

260
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 3: big pharma. Remember remember Andrew Breitbart in the back of

261
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: the day before it was all breitbart dot com, it

262
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: was big government, big journalist. That was his way of

263
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: mocking the big oil and the big farm and all

264
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: that jazz. That it rewards the marijuana industry with tax breaks.

265
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: Now I favor medical marijuana. I think that is undeniably true,

266
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: that lives are made better for people who are terminally ill,

267
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: critically ill, that they have the ability to get an appetite.

268
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: We have seen the things work in the world of Parkinson's.

269
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: I believe that this is undoubtedly true when it comes

270
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: to mushrooms and psilocybin. I will have that conversation all

271
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: day long. We're kidding ourselves with this idea that we

272
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: have to take these drugs, put them on a shelf

273
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: and say, oh, you can't have that when it is clear,

274
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: very very clear, that they do good. The problem I

275
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 3: have with marijuana is that this is not the marijuana

276
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: of old. This is not your gen X marijuana. When

277
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 3: it was you a couple of friends in the dorm

278
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 3: room and everything was just funny, and you laughed and

279
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: you thought you were done laughing, and you kept laughing,

280
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: and then you were laughing a little bit more.

281
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: And then somebody said, do you smell pizza like like that?

282
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: That was good, good good weed. Yeah, it was. That

283
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: was good good weed.

284
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry, just had myself a bit of a remembrance.

285
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: Oh I never touched the stuff that's twice. Today's marijuana

286
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: isn't that. Today's marijuana is rough. Today's marijuana is super strong, huge.

287
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 3: We should be honest, and there's anything that makes me

288
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: say we should not move towards more legalization of marijuana

289
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: is I have walked the streets of New York and Chicago.

290
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: No thanks. Everything smells like pot. It sucks.

291
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 3: It's there is a downside to this. We should be

292
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 3: clear about it. We're not better off because everybody has

293
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 3: got themselves some cush.

294
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: We're not.

295
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 3: By the way, if there was a dispensary, I would

296
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: be opening one immediately, and I would call it kosher kush.

297
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 3: That's ten thousand percent. That is my name that or

298
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: who's your high? Because I live in Indiana. So it's

299
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 3: not that I want to be opposed to it medicinally.

300
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: I actually don't want to be opposed to it.

301
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Recreationally. Be clear about what it is we're talking about here.

302
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: We shouldn't think that it's harmless, but I don't want

303
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: to keep it from some people who need it, and

304
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 3: honestly I can. I'll have the mushroom conversation, the psilocybin

305
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 3: conversation anytime you want.

306
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: There are good things.

307
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: Then this is Tony Kats today. So Chuck Schumer was

308
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 3: the chat too. He is not happy at.

309
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 6: All with the information received regarding the the hits on

310
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 6: these Venezuelan.

311
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: Drug boats. Oh, he's angry and upset. And I went

312
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 3: to the hill and I he came to the Hill

313
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: and he spoke.

314
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 4: To us, and well, well, I reiterated my demand of

315
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: Secretary Hegseth in front of all hundred Senators that he

316
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: allow every senator to see the unedited version, the unedited

317
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 4: video of what happened on September. Second, he refused. The

318
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 4: administration came to this briefing empty handed.

319
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: That's the major question that we face.

320
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: And if they can't be transparent on this, how can

321
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: you trust their transparency on all the other issues swirling

322
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: about in the Caribbean.

323
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be with you.

324
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 3: Let's not confuse our issues when it comes to Venezuela.

325
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: Let us not confuse realities.

326
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 3: First, the President of the United States can put the

327
00:20:54,440 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 3: military assets anywhere the president chooses. Second, it is very

328
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: clear and obvious to any person that a pressure campaign

329
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: is in place to try and remove Maduro from power.

330
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 3: There has been no talk of although there has been

331
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 3: I should I shouldn't say that there's been no action

332
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: of any ground forces or any movement to physically remove

333
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 3: Maduro from office. Trump has said things could happen by land.

334
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: Those were his words, not mine, and I said, well,

335
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: that's a starting gun. But you know, and nothing has

336
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 3: taken place there. He has labeled Maduro this uh uh

337
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: narco terrorist. I mean, it's it's it's very very clear

338
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: what the objective is. Earlier today I was on Newsmax

339
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: and on Newsmax, I was on with Wallet Ferris, and

340
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: we were both the guests there, and I believe it's

341
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 3: Shannon Cake who was asking Sharon Cake who was asking

342
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: the questions, and we were both engaged in this conversation

343
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 3: or drug boat strikes.

344
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 7: Taking a look at that video, the Pentagon releasing it

345
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 7: overnight on social media. So US Southern Command, doctor Ferris,

346
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 7: let's start with you saying that these boats were transiting

347
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 7: along known narco trafficking routes and engaged in narco trafficking.

348
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 7: There are words already we're hearing the pushback this morning

349
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 7: from the international community, the BBC this morning suggesting this

350
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 7: this is a planned systematic attack against civilians during peacetime.

351
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 7: Our president just yesterday from the Oval, calling fentanyl this

352
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 7: weapon of mass destruction. Now, while lead does he have

353
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 7: a right to tactics.

354
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 8: Border absolutely, first of all by executive orders, second and all,

355
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 8: this is a threat has been continued to be a threat,

356
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 8: not against the bureaucrats in Brussels or London or Paris,

357
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 8: but against our people. Tens of thousands of people have

358
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 8: died from this element. But now what we see that

359
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 8: the administration is not just containing that wave coming from

360
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 8: Venezuela in the Caribbean. We may have a point to

361
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 8: see the same thing happening in East Pacific, which means

362
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 8: that there is a widening of the operation and something else.

363
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 8: The Pentagon, as far as we know, has organized a

364
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 8: command specifically for the homeland and the whole hemisphere, so

365
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 8: it's not just a point about Venezuela. Any threat coming

366
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 8: from anywhere with these drug lords will be confronted.

367
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 3: Now that conversation leads to something we've been talking about

368
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: with the idea of the not a reinvention, the re

369
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: implementation of Monroe doctrine, that the Western hemisphere is ours,

370
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 3: and we will control it, and we will dictate, and

371
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 3: we will do anything we need to within our hemisphere

372
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: to protect ourselves.

373
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: And we're not very interested in what anybody else says.

374
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 3: And a large part of what we're seeing is exactly that.

375
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: So when you see these arguments from people like.

376
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer, who, as I stated, just have are just infuriated.

377
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 4: Every Senator is entitled to see it if there is

378
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 4: no problem with sources and methods, because the senators will

379
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 4: see it in the skiff. I also believe that every

380
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 4: American should see an appropriate version of this, the of

381
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 4: the unedited of the well. They should see an appropriate

382
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 4: version of what happened on September. The second I saw it, it.

383
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: Was deeply troubling.

384
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: I don't believe you when you say it's deeply troubling,

385
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: not at all. The question is do Americans have an

386
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 3: issue with what is happening with the bombing of these

387
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: drug boats.

388
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we're starting to hear the rumblings you know

389
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 7: in the last few weeks, Tony, that lawmakers want to

390
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 7: know more. Pete hag Seth and Marc Rubio they'll be

391
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 7: on the Hill today answering some questions. It'll be a

392
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 7: classified briefing, so the press won't be in on this.

393
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 7: But with so much pushback globally here at home, it

394
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 7: is time. Do you think or do you think it's

395
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 7: time for the President to go to Congress and get

396
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 7: a war declaration here?

397
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: If Congress thought it was time Congress would be asking.

398
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: Congress hasn't asked for it, And I think that's an

399
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: extremely important notes here. There's been grumblings, There's been people who.

400
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 3: Have had things because it's good to say things on

401
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 3: cable news or other places, because it allows you to

402
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: complain and allows you to be angry, it allows you

403
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: to get a sound bite. But if Congress was truly bothered,

404
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: Congress would say, you're engaged in an active war.

405
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: Now you'd have to ask what is the act of war.

406
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: It can't be eleven warship in the Caribbean and fifteen

407
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: thousand troops. The President can assign the troops wherever it

408
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: is he chooses. It would have to be whether or

409
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: not the taking out of these drug boats is considered

410
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: an act of war, certainly out are of court of

411
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: public opinion. That isn't how Americans see it in the main.

412
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 3: They see this as a matter of safety and security.

413
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 3: Now there's a conversation about regime change and going to grounds, well,

414
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: that's a different conversation altogether.

415
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: But right now, all we have are grumblings from.

416
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: Members of Congress who want to use this politically, as

417
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 3: opposed to saying we have a constitutional responsibility and a

418
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 3: mandate here you have to come to us. We now

419
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: demand that you come to us and proactively declare war

420
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 3: on Venezuela. I don't see that coming. That to me

421
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: is the fundamental argument. And her question's fine. It was

422
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 3: my first time doing this actual show on Newsbox. I

423
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 3: liked it quite a bit. We got deep. It was fantastic.

424
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 3: The question is should Trump go to Congress. That's the

425
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 3: wrong way to look at it. No President, whether you

426
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: like it or not. I'm talking about Republicans, Democrats. It

427
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: doesn't matter how you want to visualize it until your

428
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 3: politics in this in this part of it means zero.

429
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: No president none wants to be told.

430
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: Can't act as the commander in chief. Being the commander

431
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 3: in chief is the most awesome part of the job.

432
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: It's like the Bill Hicks routine. Hey, what does B

433
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: twelve do? And they press the button and something explodes

434
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: and they go cool, what does B thirteen do? It's

435
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: a fantastic routine. The late great Bill Hicks doesn't better

436
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 3: than I. Of course, they're not.

437
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: Going to go to Congress and say is this okay?

438
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: They're going to act with the full authority that they

439
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: believe they have. It is for Congress to say, you

440
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: are going down a road that we have not approved.

441
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: This is our responsibility, and you must now come to us.

442
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: We demand it. That's the story.

443
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 3: And when you hear Chuck Schumer complain about, for example, these.

444
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 4: Videos in my Gang of Eight meeting last week, I

445
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 4: asked Secretary Headsiff, let every senator see it. He said

446
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: he'd think about it today. He came up with no

447
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 4: answer and no tape. His reasoning was that it might

448
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 4: give things away that shouldn't be. I respect classification. When

449
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 4: you do it in the skiff, that argument is undercut.

450
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 4: It's just with senators in the skiff.

451
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: A skiff secure compartmentized information facility.

452
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's intelligence facility.

453
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: It's a place where you can share this classified information

454
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: and doesn't make the light of day, and you can't

455
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: be Sandy Berger and stuff and stuff down yourself.

456
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: And all that jazz.

457
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: I do not mind the members getting the information, I

458
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: must admit. I just know how it's going to play out,

459
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 3: like you do. They asked this question to Senator Lindsey Graham.

460
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: This video, I think, I think.

461
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: I think it should be I think the video should

462
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: be given. Everybody does you know the least of my

463
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: concerns is a springing video. Release it and make your

464
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: own decisions. This is lawful. I have every confidence of

465
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: what they're doing. It's no different than what Bush did.

466
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: Nobody in the Congress accused the military leadership under President Bush.

467
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 7: Forty one of being a war criminal for in the

468
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 7: Panama Without.

469
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 3: For a second here I thought I thought Lindsay Graham

470
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: was gonna go.

471
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: To four letter world.

472
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: In that, I think Lindsay Graham makes a point that's

473
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: worth noting.

474
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe that or I should say it this way.

475
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: The reason the Congress has not acted and Democrats aren't

476
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: demanding the president come and declare war is that, as

477
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 3: I stated they're on Newsmax, Democrats are fine with all this.

478
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: They get to take out the drug boats, which.

479
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 3: I think they're a little bit fine with, and they

480
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: get to complain that the president is acting recklessly to

481
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: win win. I think that that Lindsay Graham's argument of

482
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: release the videos works for me all so working for

483
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 3: me not releasing the videos, because this specifically is about

484
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: a video on September second, where there was something done called.

485
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: A double tap.

486
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 3: So they hit the boat, there were survivors, there was

487
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 3: still a boat, they hit it again.

488
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: The story was then relayed that.

489
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: They you had the US military making the claim, oh

490
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: my gosh, they're still survivors, what should we do? And

491
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: Pete Hegsath said, go back and kill them, kill them

492
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: until they die, make their children scream and cry, let

493
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 3: them look at their blood and laugh like it was

494
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: an insane type of thing. I don't know if anybody

495
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: actually sound that was actually my impression of Maizie Herona.

496
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad, don't bet at all thinking about

497
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: go and pro.

498
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: Jeff Dunham's looking for an opening act. The arguments is

499
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: that somehow something horrific and nefarious happened with this idea

500
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 3: of going back. Now, what we learned after that Washington

501
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: Post reporting was that people who were not killed when

502
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: the drug boat was hit were climbing back onto what

503
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 3: remained of the boat and trying to get the drugs

504
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: together and then warning.

505
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Other people of what was happening.

506
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: Are they still some level of enemy or engaged in

507
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: some level of combat with the United States at that moment.

508
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: My point about the court of public opinion really stands.

509
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: Americans don't care. Keep the drugs out of our life.

510
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: President Trump now wants to describe fentanyl as a weapon

511
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: of mass destruction.

512
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: Americans are gonna be fine with that. This stuff's a killer, absolutely.

513
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: So.

514
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: I think Democrats just want to complain to complain. At

515
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: least that's the case right now. Keep it here. This

516
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: is Tony Katz. Today. Ford is taking a massive.

517
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: Massive hit on the electric vehicles, the Ford Lightning, which

518
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: full disclosure, I have had a local car dealership as

519
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: a sponsor.

520
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: Here in Indianapolis.

521
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 3: I have driven the Lightning numerous times, and I will

522
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: tell you it's an electric pickup truck. It's the electric

523
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 3: F one fifty. It's incredible. It is Nobody wants it.

524
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: Nobody wants it because nobody wants all electric hybrid. Yes,

525
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: all electric. No.

526
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 3: We were forced into all electric by an absolutely insane

527
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 3: progressive government.

528
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: And then when rationality crept back in, people.

529
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 3: Are like, I want to buy this anyway. That's the

530
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 3: biggest problem the left had. They said you have to

531
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 3: have this, and the people said no. Ford is going

532
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: to take a nineteen and a half billion dollar bath.

533
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: They've lost thirteen billion dollars on their EV business since

534
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. So they're going to increase the gas

535
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: power lineup. They're gonna have a bunch of hybrids, which

536
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: people are gonna be like, great, I'll take some battery.

537
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 3: Let me go to a gas station so I don't

538
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: have to panic, and if I can get myself like

539
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 3: thirty five miles a gallon, or I can get the

540
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: first like two hundred miles on a charge or something terrific.

541
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 3: Every person's like, that's fun. I totally get that. That

542
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 3: makes sense. Smart all electric less smart. It works for

543
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: very few people. It just doesn't work for everybody. You

544
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: gotta be in a certain confines. You can't be a

545
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 3: level of long distance. You can't do real highway driving.

546
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: The battery burns right up. I don't mean that, you know, literally,

547
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 3: I mean you burn up battery life.

548
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: It's a problem. But that's a huge.

549
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 3: Amount of money that bureaucrats told a private company to lose.

550
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 3: You will lose this money. Hey, if we do this,

551
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: people are in buying them. We're gonna lose money. We

552
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 3: told you to do this because that's what it's gonna

553
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 3: take for you to stay in business. That's what happened here.

554
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: We have an idea.

555
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: As bureaucrats, we don't know how to implement it, but

556
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: you do what we want.

557
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: Or will put you out of business.

558
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: That's what Democrats did and cost four to nineteen billion dollars.

559
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: When do the Lettings go on saling for how much?

560
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today
