Remember this was money 38 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: that was going to be tariff money. Funny how that 39 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: subject has fallen off the radar. Does he owe the money? 40 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: So you have to pay pop about? 41 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: You know there are. 42 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: Lawsuits about saying, hey, we were told you a lot 43 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: to use certain the IEEPA, the Economic Powers Act to 44 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: engage tariff So we want our money back, and people 45 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: are sewing in the White House is saying we don't 46 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: know how to pay you back.

Let the court figure out 49 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: how it is that we pay you back. But that's 50 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: where I think this twelve billion dollars came from. The 51 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: the ever growing hardship of farming. 52 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 3: Right. 53 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: We talk about this in all sorts of ways. And 54 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, there's a great expression I never met a 55 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: port farmer, but there is work involved here, and there 56 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: are pressures upon here, and there is a regulatory issue here, and. 57 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: Not everyone is playing on that elite level. 58 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: There are plenty of family farms that are suffering right 59 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: through it in every single way. So it's one thing 60 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: just to have the gathering. But I'm curious if the 61 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: President is going to get into some of what it 62 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: is they're dealing with, and how do you, for example, 63 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: keep food costs low when you have oil prices. 64 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: Going so high. Take it back to President Trump. 65 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 3: It's a five hundredth store in honor of America's two 66 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 3: hundred and fiftieth hel Thank you very much. It was 67 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: great to meet you at the Oval. 68 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: Office two minutes ago. 69 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: I also want to thank the President of the American 70 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 3: Farm Bureau Federation. 71 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: I thought he had gotten past some of this. See 72 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: that's the trouble with live. 73 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: We'll do it live. 74 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: American agriculture industry with brutal restrictions and failed to negotiate 75 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: even a single new trade deal on your behalf. 76 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: Not one trade. 77 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 3: Deal was negotiated on your behalf during the Biden administration, 78 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 3: and we happened to be the exact opposite. So many 79 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 3: trade deals. 80 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: We don't know what the hell to do with them. 81 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 3: We need more lawyers, but no one ever can farmers, ranchers, growers, 82 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: and producers. Once again, I'm a true friend and champion 83 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: in the Oval Office. 84 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: And in my first year. 85 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: Back and the White House, farm income has seared by 86 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 3: twenty percent very quickly. I repealed the Biden EPA's ridiculous 87 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 3: water restrictions. 88 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: You had water restrictions that may gave you everything but water. 89 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 3: It needed a little water, they wouldn't give you it. 90 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: It was crazy to keep federal bureaucrats off your land 91 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: and out of your pockets. This big deal, with the 92 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: help of Republicans in Congress, we passed the largest tax 93 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: cuts in American history. Already, forty five percent of filers 94 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 3: have taken advantage of our new tax provisions, with an 95 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: average refund so far almost five thousand dollars. 96 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: A record. 97 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 3: In fact, we passed them, and people are just starting 98 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 3: to see how important they are. Amazing what's happened the 99 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 3: numbers are. 100 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: They're reporting that it's much more money than I thought. 101 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: I'll tell you, I go it. 102 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 3: The great big beautiful bill is a great, big beautiful bill, 103 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: and it's especially in terms of via tax refunds and 104 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 3: your taxes because it's the lowest tax we pay. 105 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: It's the biggest tax reduction. 106 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: In the history of our country. 107 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: Has anybody felt it yet? I was asking this question 108 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: on my morning show. It's supposed to be Remember, this 109 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: is what Scott Bessett, the Treasury Secretary, really started digging 110 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: into in December after listening to the show. Of course, 111 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: you got to let people know what's happening, what they 112 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: can be expecting, what they got to be a part of. 113 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: It's something that this administration does poorly get people into 114 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: the fight with you. They think they could just give 115 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: a dictate and everybody have fall along that's not the 116 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: way it works. People have to be a part of it. 117 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: Americans want to be a part of it. So the 118 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: One big, beautiful Bill, which was so poorly messaged, it 119 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: is supposed to lead to larger tax returns refunds. The 120 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: question is, has anybody gotten anything yet and have they 121 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: noticed anything larger? When you were doing your taxes, which 122 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: are doing less than a month, did you notice that 123 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: there was more deduction, more coming your way. I'm just 124 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: curious if anybody experienced these things. 125 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: As President Trump is just saying this to the farmers. 126 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 2: It's also the. 127 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: Biggest regulation reduction in the history of our country, which, 128 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 3: as farmers, you know what that means. It means a 129 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: lot of good things. We made to small business tax 130 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: deduction permanent benefiting ninety eight percent of America's farmers and ranchers. 131 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: And thanks to bonus depreciation, farmers can now deduct one 132 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: hundred percent of the cost of new tractors and all 133 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: equipment in the first year. In other words, you buy 134 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: a tractor, you deduct the whole price. Normally it goes 135 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: over a thirty eight year period. This is slightly better. 136 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: You got these tiny little deductions that weren't even worth it. 137 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: Now you can do it. At one time, only Trump 138 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: could have gotten you that one. That was a big thing. 139 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: And in the first term, you know, we had the 140 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 3: greatest persons in the country and the first time we 141 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: are blowing them away right now. And by the way, 142 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 3: we're doing really well in Iran. Just so you understand, 143 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: you know, I mean, how good is our military? 144 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: How good is our military? 145 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: Very importantly, we saved two million American farms from extinction 146 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 3: by virtually ending the unfair estate tax. We've ended the 147 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: estate tax, or as they call it, the death tax, 148 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: and you can now keep your family farms in the family. 149 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 2: We had a problem. That is a big deal. 150 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 3: See, these are all people that are flapping, that love 151 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 3: their children. 152 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: If they didn't love. 153 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 3: Their children, they wouldn't care about what I just said. 154 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: But most does anybody not love your child, because that 155 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 3: would be the one person that would have clapped the 156 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 3: other way. No, it was a big thing. I would 157 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: see farmers and they pass away. They love their life, 158 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: They loved there's something about a farmer, maybe more than 159 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 3: anybody else. 160 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: They love that, They love the soil, and they love. 161 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 3: Their farms, and they'd pass away they have wonderful children, 162 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: and the children would get hit with this massive tax 163 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: bill for the value of the farm. Sometimes the farmer 164 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 3: is very valuable, but the cash isn't so readily available, 165 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 3: and they'd go out to a bank and they'd borrow money, 166 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: and they'd borrow and borrow and borrow to. 167 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: Pay the tax. 168 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: They'd be working for twenty years to pay it off. 169 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: If they had a bad season, they'd lose their farm. 170 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 3: We loved it, lost it many many times, and you'd 171 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 3: have actually many many suicides over it. They would actually 172 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: commit suicide because they couldn't stand the concept of losing 173 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: their family farm. 174 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: And I ended up the. 175 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: Death tax or the estate tax on family. 176 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 2: Farms and small businesses. 177 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 3: So I think you're appreciative of that. It was a 178 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: terrible thing. 179 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: And those kinds of things did indeed happen. 180 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 3: It's too bad that so many people in the past 181 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 3: couldn't have taken advantage of it, because it would have 182 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: made a lot of happy people out of people that 183 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 3: really have had a miserable life. 184 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: What's not that the life was miserable, The life was 185 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: made miserable. 186 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: This idea that somehow government is entitled to our labor 187 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: is madness that it's somehow unfair to leave things to 188 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: your children, that that belongs to some government bureaucrap because 189 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: they decided that's what's good and decent. I have discussed 190 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: this before. I want to leave it all to my kids. 191 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: Don't tell me. I'll take care of any charitable organization 192 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: as I see fit. But my job is to take 193 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: care of my children. And if they want to spend 194 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: the money the way the way they want to spend 195 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: the money. 196 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: Just like I do it, I'm alive. Fine, I'm gonna 197 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: leave it to strangers and not my own kids. That's madness. 198 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: Government things that they should be involved in that process. 199 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: It is obscene. 200 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: So what the president is actually engaged in here, whether 201 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: he knows it or not, it's a conversation about philosophy, 202 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: the difference between us and them, the difference between the 203 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: conservative and the liberal. It isn't theirs. It is yours 204 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: to do with as you see fit. Without the concept 205 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: of acceptance. No leftist gets to decide what you do 206 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: with your money, and they sure as thell don't get 207 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: to say, well, we get our share. It isn't theirs. 208 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: I will decide what to do with it, and it's 209 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: going to my kids and anybody who would put forth 210 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: the policy that says no, it should go somewhere else. 211 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: And you shouldn't have to say that's something you don't 212 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: vote for. Not worthy of your vote, not worthy of 213 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: your time, and not worthy of your love. We'll catch 214 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: up with some more from President Trump in a moment. 215 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: Keep it here. This is Tony Kats Today. Wall Street 216 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: Journal is reporting that Iran has blocked two Chinese ships 217 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: in the Strait of Hormuz. We should take a moment 218 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: to discuss how flat out odd that is. Iran wants 219 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: to anger the Chinese well bold strategy cotton. Let's see 220 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: how it works out, Tony Katz Tony Kats today are 221 00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: that that's something Iran turning back to China owned container 222 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: vessels from this trait. Now, Israel has mounted an attack 223 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: saying a target Iranian weapons facilities and warned residents uh 224 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: In in parts of the city of. 225 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: A rock a R a k to to evacuate. 226 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: Now, if I have an idea of where a rock 227 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: is now, rock is in the middle of the country, 228 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: A R a K. That is, that is in the middle. 229 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: I thought that was for a second towards towards the Gulf. 230 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: It absolutely is not. But you have these this move 231 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: from the Israelis and as they continue to to hit 232 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: at military targets, several countries in the Gulf intercepted drones 233 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: and missiles, but strikes hit two Kuwaiti ports, one missile 234 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: landing in Jordan. So you know, the the Iranians are 235 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: still firing all over the place and really trying to 236 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: engage a level of just pure havoc that do they 237 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: think they could just create enough stress that. 238 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: This will end? Maybe they maybe they do. 239 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: Maybe what they're wondering is, well, if we try this 240 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: maybe to work. Well, maybe we try this, it'll work man. 241 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: But maybe they're things that they're trying don't work because 242 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: the equipment that they have doesn't actually work. But if 243 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna go after Chinese vessels in the straight up Hormuz, 244 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: that's where do you where do you think Iran is 245 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: getting their money? 246 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 2: Now? 247 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they believe in this idea of the hostage taking. 248 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: Where you can. 249 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: And charge these ships two million dollars for safe passage. 250 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: The world is gonna be okay with being held hostage 251 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: to living in a bribery world. I mean, there's already 252 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: gotta be some level of bribery that takes place with 253 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: all these things to keep these you know, pirates from 254 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: boarding you and all that jazz. 255 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 2: The navies can't be everywhere at all. 256 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: Times, so maybe you know, it could just be well, 257 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: you didn't you didn't play the pay the big so 258 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: we're not gonna let you through. 259 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: But it's certainly odd. 260 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: That this would affect Chinese ships, considering that's where you're 261 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: getting the money. They were trying to exit the Persian 262 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: Gulf and they got turned away. The IRGC said the 263 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: strait was shut, even though President Trump has said there 264 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: was an agreement to let some ships through. The only 265 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: thing I could see that you're doing in this in 266 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: this scenario is creating the opportunity for the world to say, 267 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: you know what, we got this. We're just going to uh, 268 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: we're just going to end this and we're going to 269 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: open up, to the best of our ability, the Strait. 270 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: We're just gonna open this thing up and we'll let 271 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: the chips fall where they may. 272 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 2: But we're not gonna have this anymore. We're not gonna 273 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: put up with this anymore. 274 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: We're not gonna take this, this nonsense anymore. 275 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no no. 276 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: We are going to handle this and it's going to 277 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: be very bad for the Iranians. 278 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 2: Could be it? That could be what's next here. 279 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: It's not the only thing going on, you know, there 280 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: is other news outside of what's going on with a RAND, 281 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: although it is the big stuff. And of course you 282 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: have the DHS funding which is getting stranger and stranger. 283 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: By the way, Producer Landon, I think speaker Johnson is talking. 284 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: I just can't find that link. If he is, can 285 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: you grab that for me? 286 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: Thank you so much. 287 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: You have this story that the FBI is now offering 288 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: a ten million dollar reward after hackers linked to Iran 289 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: we're able to breach the emails of FBI director cash Matel. 290 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: FBI said it's investigating. They call the data historical in nature, 291 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: unrelated to government systems. Ten million dollars for information identifying 292 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: the Iran based Hondala hack team. I don't know what 293 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: does Hondala mean? Do we have a definition there? Let 294 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: me see if I can figure that out. Hondala is 295 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: a prominent national symbol and personification of the Palestinian people. 296 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 2: This according to Wikipedia Okay, all right. 297 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: I don't just offer ten million dollars ten million dollars 298 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: to find the team, but three million dollars for the 299 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: first person who brings us one of their heads on 300 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: a pike. And you say, to me, my god, Tony, 301 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: that is so violent and so gross and so despicable. 302 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: Not as violent, gross and despicable as hacking these people 303 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: who engage in the ransomware stuff, you understand, I believe 304 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: the same exact thing. 305 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 2: The hacking. 306 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: Now, this is of course war, and so you should 307 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: expect many things to happen. But man, do I despise 308 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: the hackers in a huge, massive way.

We don't know what got hacked. We 313 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: don't know where the access is. This is the latest. 314 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: If I can get you speaker, Mike Johnson, I will. 315 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 2: It's a busy day. Keep it here.

Guys, it's 318 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: a pleasure. It is good, good stuff. Three more things. 319 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: These are things that should be headlines. But yet somehow, 320 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: because everything is happening and everyone is insane and they 321 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: are not should be headlined headlines. 322 00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 2: What in the world just happened? 323 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? 324 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: There, it is a little bit of repeating that wasn't 325 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 1: the headline. No, the headline is Steve Bannon, because if 326 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: Steve Bannon is embarrassing himself, you want to watch. Steve 327 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: Bannon was at Seapac and Steve Bannon is amongst the 328 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: class of. 329 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 2: Not so much America. 330 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: First, they believe that any action outside of our borders 331 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: is just neo Khan John McCain sexual fantasy stuff. And 332 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: we are always wrong. We're always at fault. The idea 333 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: of mistakes made versus always at fault. Those are different things. 334 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: But Bannon, and by the way, it's Steve's fault. He 335 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: came at me. He came at me, calling me a 336 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: stock Republican. So every now and then I just got 337 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: a bitchlap him. It's just the way it goes. I 338 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: didn't I didn't do this right. I didn't make the rules. 339 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: These are the rules of the street. You come at 340 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: the king, you best. 341 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 2: Not miss yes. 342 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: In this situation, I did refer to myself as the king, 343 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: which I agree with you. 344 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: Super weird Steve Bennon. 345 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: He's at Seapack, the Conservative Political Action Conference, and he 346 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: thinks he's the leader of these people, and he we 347 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: shouldn't be at war and Iran. 348 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: There was nothing imminent. 349 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: We shouldn't be doing anything in the Israelis are doing 350 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: this and all that crap. 351 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 2: And he's like, here, let me let me take a poll, 352 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: steal a little poll here. This is all hardcore. 353 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 4: MAGA leadership, grassroots for leadership. Right, Okay, that's the good news. 354 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 2: Now comes to hard news. You got to make some choices. 355 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 4: Who among you would advise President Trump we have to 356 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 4: finish what we started. How many would how many would say, 357 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 4: right now, get it off ramp and let's get out 358 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: of here by Saturday, I'd say sixty sixty five thirty five, 359 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 4: sixty five thirty five. 360 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 2: He believes that he. 361 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: Understands exactly where these people aren't, exactly what they think. 362 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't understand ungats, He understands nothing. How much influence 363 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: do these people really have? Why do we think it 364 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: is so massive? That's different than whether or not to 365 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: concerned myself with any influence they have, Because there's a 366 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: follower count. It's all bots. None of it's real. None 367 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: of it's real. I don't know if I can risk 368 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: the fact that none of it's real. And by the way, 369 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: I never call for deplatforming. Let Bannon do his show, 370 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: and let Megan Kelly do her show, and Tucker do 371 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: his show and Cande. I mean, admittedly, spending your day 372 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: going after a widow is super weird. It's super creepy, 373 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: super weird, but hey, everyone's got a fetish. But she's 374 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: just a twist and a turn away from flat out 375 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: being a stalker. What I want is an aggressive counter 376 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: to the nonsense that they put forth. 377 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 2: What they put. 378 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: Forth is ugly, what they put forth is obscene. What 379 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: they put forth is madness. And they're totally disconnected from 380 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: where the people are. They're completely and totally disconnected from 381 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: where you and I live, breathe, act and act. That 382 00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: just repeated myself right there. They aren't close to understanding. 383 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: What they are is very focused on engaging a certain 384 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: audience and how much can they dominate that audience. We've 385 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: discussed this before about twenty to twenty nine year olds 386 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: and how they are are really kind of desperate to 387 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: own and control that group. 388 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: That's where the future is, that's. 389 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: What gives them the most longevity, so therefore that's where 390 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: they want to be. 391 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 2: So that's number one. Then comes. 392 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: Number two, which is how we are putting the squeeze 393 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: on H one bvisa holders. The Labor Department is stating 394 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: via the Trump administration that if you are going to 395 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: have an H one B visa holder, right these are 396 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: people coming in from other countries and work in certain 397 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: categories like for example, software development, we are now going 398 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: to increase the minimum pay that you have to pay them. 399 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: The argument here is is that if you are saying 400 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: you need to bring in people from another country to 401 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: do the work, the coding, this that the whatever it 402 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: may be, they actually have to be worth it to you. 403 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: And so this is and the only way to describe 404 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: this is an artificial increase in the cost to try 405 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: and get American workers hired instead. It's a big creepy 406 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: in that that's not how we see ourselves. It's not 407 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: how we see America. It's not how we see Americans, 408 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: it's not how we see how we do business. Where 409 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: the government says you have to charge this or charge that, 410 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: that's not. 411 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 2: That's not it. That is not who we are, that 412 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: is not what we want at all. 413 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: The other side to this is, have we been foregoing 414 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: American talent for the sake of cheaper foreign talent. Have 415 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: we been telling people there's no jobs for you, but 416 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: ensuring jobs. 417 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 2: Over there? Is that something that we should be doing. Now? 418 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: This is maybe different than how we feel about, for example, 419 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: trade deficits, and you're not buying as much from us 420 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: as we're buying from. 421 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 2: You, and that's not fair. That's a problem in that situation. 422 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: That's not a problem. We've already proven that it's not 423 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: a problem. And tariffs don't solve trade deficits, as we 424 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: have seen. Remember the tariff suck. Gonna get so yelled 425 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: at the tariffs suck. A trade deficit where you have 426 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: some country where we're buying more than they buy from us, well, 427 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: they then invest in the United States, so we kind 428 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: of get the money back as long as we can 429 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: get the goods at a good price. 430 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 2: Isn't that what matters most? And I would argue that. 431 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: The economic says yes, a thousand percent. Is that true 432 00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:00,239 Speaker 1: about the labor market. I'm asking because I just I 433 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: think there's there's at least a worthy consideration there. 434 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 2: I can do the math. 435 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: I can show that it doesn't matter if we buy 436 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: more from country A than they buy from US, if 437 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: they're now going to invest in US because we're the 438 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: place that you do the investing in the markets here, 439 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: in companies here, so. 440 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 2: Good, that's good for us. 441 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: And if having the trade deficit also means that the 442 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: goods for our people are cheaper, also good. I'm also 443 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: in favor of this. But if you have people who 444 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: can't get a job because the job is going overseas, 445 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: if you will even if we're bringing that person here, 446 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just another it's another it's an offshoot 447 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: of or it's just a different way to look at offshoring. Now, 448 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: there are some people who will tell you that there 449 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: isn't actually a difference if you've got comparative levels of 450 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: education and experience. There is a little evidence of pay disparity. 451 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: This according to the National Foundation for American Policy. 452 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 2: Now. 453 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: They are an organization that focuses on skilled immigration to 454 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: the US, so they have a point of view. If 455 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,479 Speaker 1: we're hiring foreign workers because it's cheaper, and we're now 456 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: raising the price, and it gets more Americans hired. 457 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 2: The vast majority of people are going to say. 458 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: Good, good, we want Americans to be hired, we want 459 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: this to take place. I would say that one could 460 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: argue it on its national security merits, but I think 461 00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: that as people do think about these things, get it's 462 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: a little it might get a little stickier for some people. 463 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: And then, because I do like a good list, I'm 464 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: a sucker for a good list. 465 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 2: The five most reliable cars of all time. 466 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: This was a story over at Autoblog, and I find 467 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: myself looking for. 468 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 2: Used cars all the time. 469 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: All the time, I'm always searching for stuff and looking 470 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: at stop. I'm not always buying stuff I have before 471 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: about I'm looking. So they went through I mean they 472 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: went through a little bit of history. What are the 473 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: five most reliable using cars used cars of all time? 474 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: I think it's just cars, five most reliable cars. They 475 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: were built and they're bulletproof and they could do anything. 476 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 2: Now. 477 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: I know that one of them, although it's not on 478 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: this list, is the Toyota land Cruiser. 479 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: That car will go on for forever. 480 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: And then it's the sister of that, which is the 481 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: Toyota Sequoia, which is the wider version. 482 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: I actually own a Sequoia, not a new one. 483 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: I used one. It's what I like. And then you know, 484 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: you've got the pickup trucks.

That was number one on 489 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: the list. 490 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: Number two the Ford Crown Victoria for those of you 491 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: who used to get arrested in the late eighties in 492 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: the early nineties, Crown vic that's that is on the list. 493 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: Four point six literer modular V eight between one hundred 494 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: ninety two hundred and. 495 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: Fifty horse power. Then they get to number three. 496 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: Now I will tell you right now, if I could 497 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: find one of these, I would buy one of these. 498 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz two forty Diesel three hundred diesel, which is 499 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: the W one twenty three.

The press has gathered to 508 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: hear what it is that Mike Johnson, the Speaker of 509 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: the House is going to say. But I think we 510 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 1: got a kind of preview of this when he was 511 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: walking the halls in the House and the press is 512 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: speaking to him, and he was pretty clear, we're. 513 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 5: Going to get all the numbers together in the savage 514 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 5: better this morning about saying. 515 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 2: It's infuriating that Democrats. 516 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 5: Are willing to play a hat on the American people 517 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,959 Speaker 5: simply so they can defund the agency that is responsible 518 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 5: literally through ant coming out of the legal alien sets. 519 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 5: What about he was putting on display for the country 520 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 5: again with her wore. 521 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm an expert in Mike Johnson's demeanor, 522 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: but maybe you and I were a little more observant 523 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: than others because we do this there every day. That's 524 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: a pretty angry Mike Johnson. That is a pretty angry 525 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: Mike Johnson. 526 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 5: Listen again, good morning about it's infuriating that Democrats are 527 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 5: willing to inflict hate on the American people simply so 528 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 5: they can defund the agency that is responsible literally through 529 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 5: coming out of the legal Aidens's with this a fout. 530 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 5: He just put it on display for the country again with. 531 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 2: There for war is there? I mean, you don't know 532 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 2: until you know, but I'm telling you right now they 533 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 2: are serious. 534 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: About putting a continuing resolution on the floor of the 535 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: House and dismissing what the Senate has done. We don't 536 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: care that Chuck Schumer is happy with this. We're not 537 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: playing this game. We'll get TSA funded one way or another, 538 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: but we're not giving Schumer his anti ICE anything. What 539 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: is the calculation that the Republicans have done that this 540 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: is the hill. 541 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 2: And there's no way they're making this move. 542 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: And so this was what Axios reported that the Speaker 543 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: is considering forgetting what the Senate passed regarding funding the 544 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security, which they did yesterday. They'll fund 545 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security, but not a border patrol, 546 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: not ICE and what it now it has to go 547 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 1: to the House right to get passed because it's different legislation. 548 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: And so the argument is the House is gonna say 549 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: screw that. Here's a continuing resolution for sixty days to 550 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: fund everything in the Apartment of Homeland Security while we 551 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: figure it out. We're not gonna give in to Schumer. 552 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: We're not gonna budge an inch. The only way that 553 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: happens is if Trump's okay with it, and there must 554 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: be a way to fund TSA agents that has to 555 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: have been accomplished. 556 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 2: Watch for this. It's gonna be fascinating. I'm Tony Kats
