WEBVTT - Episode 4655: Tony Katz Today Hour 1 - 08/07/26 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:10.280 Line from ball Hertbind and the Crossroads of America. 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:11.960 It's Tony Katz today. 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.000 Yes, So today the President signed these two executive orders 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:24.720 here relating to birthright citizenship and birth tourism. As the 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:30.000 President mentioned, the Fourteenth Amendment was passed exclusively in the aftermath. 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.040 Of the Civil War so that to ensure that the 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:33.880 children of slaves would these citizens. 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.400 It had no other meaning and purpose outside of it. 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.800 And that's been clear obviously since the day that it 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:40.360 was passed. You can go back and you can read 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.959 the congressional debate. This is not something that's even seriously 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:48.040 contested by anybody. The President is using his authority as 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:52.360 commander in chief, designed first and executive order using the 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.680 new rule the Supreme Court issued to expand the definitions 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.400 of people who are ineligible for birthright citizenship. That includes, 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.920 for example, alien enemies of the United States, members of 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:07.080 foreign parist organizations, and large categories of people who lobby 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.560 and act on behalf of foreign governments. And so with 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.840 taking this action, it ensures that large numbers of people 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.720 who wrongly would be getting birthright citizenship will no longer 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.200 be eligible for those benefits. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.720 Anybody upset with this doesn't understand what the Supreme Court said, 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.679 certainly doesn't understand what Kavanaugh said in part of his descent. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.520 If you're upset with the President moving forward on executive orders, 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.600 if you're upset with Senator Jim Banks moving forward with legislation, 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:42.360 you don't understand what was said. What you believe is 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.200 that we should accept any abuse of the nation that comes, 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.800 and that the Constitution is a suicide pact. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.920 It is not, and we should act accordingly. 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.400 Tony Katz Tony Katz today, guys, so good to be 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:56.640 with you. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:57.560 Thanks for being here. 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.680 Find everything at Tony Katz dot com, livestream on YouTube 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.920 and Rumble. Look for Tony Katz on Twitter, which is 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.760 also known as x Tony Katz Facebook, Tony Katz Radio. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:14.960 Two different conversations here on birthright citizenship from the President 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:21.480 to different executive orders. And we can agree that someone 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.480 this is you, me sitting on a bar stool. People 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.560 plan having their baby in the United States when they 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.760 live in another country. And I've always lived in another country, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.040 so they could take advantage of American citizenship. That's messed up. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.680 That's not its purpose, and we should do something about that. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.120 What the Supreme Court said in their decision on birthright citizenship, 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.120 is that, yeah, you should do something about that, which 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.480 is really what the Brett Kavanaugh decent was all about. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:51.440 But the. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:58.320 Argument was that the Constitution says born in the United 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:03.120 States and subject to the jurisdiction, and what the Court 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:03.720 said is. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.560 Born in the United States, is born in the United. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.520 States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof they didn't really touch. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.800 I found that to be a questionable stance. But what they. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.959 Opened the door for is the thing that we should 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:18.840 at least approve of. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.200 And this is the hallmark of the John Roberts Court. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.080 I didn't say it isn't frustrating, and I'm also not 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:29.200 saying that it's totally proper. When it came to Obamacare 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.280 and allowing Obamacare to exist, what they said was it 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:38.680 could exist as attacks. Now that was not for the 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:43.360 role of the Court to decide. If these wanted to 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.560 be a tax, they could go about passing attacks. They 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.160 could do such a thing. But what they did was 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.520 say specifically, this is not a tax. And when the 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.240 Court said it could exist as a tax, they said, okay. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.560 It's a tax. The Court found a way for it 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.600 to exist and that is where a lot of us, 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:03.600 going back a great. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.080 Number of years, have a tremendous amount of disagreement with 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.160 the Supreme Court on Obamacare. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.840 I have a disagreement with this constantly. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.960 For example, the Obergafel decision, which is about same sex marriage. Oh, 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.119 this one gets me in trouble all the time because 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:22.040 some people don't want to listen. If we want to 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.640 pass laws that allow for same sex marriage, pass laws 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.760 same sex marriage. If you remember going back to when 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:34.480 this was happening, was already winning in the States, it 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:35.200 was sweeping. 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.520 There was no real issue about it none. 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.240 But what the oberga Fell decision said is that the 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.240 right to same sex marriage exists, which it does not. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.520 They created it out of hole clock. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.720 This is my argument against the decision. It's that it's 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:58.000 unfounded in the Constitution, and you could have just passed 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.760 laws about it and we would not have this issue today. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:08.880 My argument is totally one based on system. Why did 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:14.280 I oppose Roe v. Wade Because what happened to states' rights? 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.160 What happened to the very idea that states can make 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:21.479 this decision? Different states could do different things. They were 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.120 the Da Dobbs decision, which then led to the overturning 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:26.880 of Roe v. 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.280 Wade. Didn't end. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.919 At all, did not end in any way abortion in 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:36.719 the United States. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.640 There's still plenty of states that allow it. 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.040 But it was the overreach by the Supreme Court back 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.480 in seventy two, seventy three, seventy two seventy three. It 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.560 was their overreach. And you know who agreed with me, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:55.320 the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I believe there are moments 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.320 where the Court is overreached. Has she said, definitely went 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.440 overreach of that decision, went too far, went to extreme. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.400 But in these other cases you're talking about inventing something. 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:13.800 In the case of birthright citizenship, they certainly did not 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.320 decide to take a deep, detailed look into and subject 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.599 to the jurisdiction thereof when we talked about the fourteenth Amendment. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.719 But what they left was the door open to this 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:30.000 concept of if you Congress, this is your job. After all, 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.040 you know, it's Donald Sutherland an animal house. 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.839 I'm serious, this is my job. People. If you want 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.520 to go about creating laws, you can. 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.800 This brings us to Senator Jim Banks, who did exactly this, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.320 introducing the Citizenship Act of twenty twenty six to end 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:53.400 birthright citizenship for children of undocked immigrants and birth tourists. Now, 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.479 they all want to talk about what's the difference between 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.400 a tourist and a birth tourist, and we'll get to 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:02.640 that in a moment. But what we're saying here is 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.599 is that citizenship is not for everybody, and we must 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.280 pare it down, and we can do this via the 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:16.040 legislative process. The Court challenged Congress to do this, and 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.080 Senator Jim Banks took up that. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:20.080 Fight. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.400 This is Stephen Miller and standing next to President Trump 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.880 in the Oval, explaining these two executive orders on birthright 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.280 citizenship that he assigned. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.480 The second action that he's taking, which is especially historic, 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.920 is for the first time ever in American history, to 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.520 ban birth tourism. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.800 So I want you to really let that sink in. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.120 This has been some of the people have talked about. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.040 Not only for years, but for decades, the idea that 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.080 people come here pretend to be a tourist, pretend to 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.560 be a visitor, saying they want to go to Disneyland, 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.400 they want to go visit a monument or go to 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.400 a national park. But the real reason they're here is 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.320 to have a child. To make that child with an 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.640 automatic citizen leave our country and then have a US 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.480 citizen child. It gives them access out of this broken 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.440 system to welfare benefits, ultimately to the voting booth, and 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.560 all the other rights and privileges that belong solely to Americans. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.680 So that practice of birth tourism is as of the 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:25.000 signing of this order hereby band. And what that means 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.160 is that no one in the world is any more 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.679 allowed to obtain a visa for this fraudulent purpose. It 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.480 is probably and President Trump has done many historic things 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.920 on immigration, too many to listen now, Seal the southern border, 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:45.080 shut record deportations, record integrity, stopping foreign terrorist entry, record 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:49.560 reduction in drug seizures, dismantling the criminal cartels, dismantling the gangs. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.559 For everything he's done that has been so unprecedented, I 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.079 would put this in the top three in terms of 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:56.559 importance because. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.760 It ends what has been one of the gravest and most. 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:02.120 Egregious abuse that of the American system, and it keeps 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.000 the American citizenship sacred. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:09.880 Now, I happen to agree with Steven Miller on that point, 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.679 but I want to address the people who are offended 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.920 and appalled by what it is that they're seeing. First, 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:28.320 as I made clear, the Supreme Court said, intimated, if 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.040 you want to go about changing the law, go right ahead. 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.679 That's up to you. Go do it. 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.400 You have that power. This was the argument on the 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:44.120 Obamacare case. If you want to get rid of this tax, 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.719 go change the law. Doesn't matter what we said. You're 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:52.280 allowed to change the law. Your Congress, go to it. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.720 You gave us a piece of legislation to look at. 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.080 And so what is the constitutionality here? We said, as 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.559 a tax, it's constitutional when there it is. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.520 The argument against. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.319 The argument to say it's wrong to end birth tourism 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.560 is to say it is all right to manipulate the 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:19.839 American system, to manipulate the US constitution, and to have 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.160 children who will never live in the United States, never 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.480 be United States citizens, and will never have a loyalty 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.960 to the United States. It is okay to have them 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.640 growing up and name the country and then have them 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:39.800 go through that laundry list that Stephen Miller just listed out, voting. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.359 Being a key amongst them. 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.680 If you are in favor or you are accepting of 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.720 the idea of children being born here living in another 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.839 country for eighteen years and then voting in our elections. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.280 I would say, you're somebody who wants to do away 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.480 with Western civilization and wants to end America. 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:03.000 And the answer is no. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:08.040 Now I see someone on the chat room saying there's 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.600 no birth tourism. 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:17.319 Listen, we can't lie. If you don't think that there 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:18.520 is any. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.520 Birth tourism that takes place in the United States from China, 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:30.880 you are flat out lying to everyone, including yourself. I 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.560 want to be clear. It is a lie told by liars. 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:38.400 Of course it happens. This has been a story in 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.000 California whole, all neighborhoods. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:44.760 Where they have this happen. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.960 This is the Associated Press going back to twenty twenty four. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.640 You know how hard this was to find. This wasn't 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:53.679 very hard to find. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:59.360 California pay convicted in Chinese birth tourism scheme. To say 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.080 it isn't happening is a lie told by liars, and 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:09.080 you have to call them liars, liars, frauds, bs artists. 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.600 I don't care. And you have to do it. If 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.439 they're family and you have to do it with their friends. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.560 You have to do it on social media or honestly 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.760 you could just delete them, because they're tools, and you 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.920 have to do it. If you're somebody who's fortunate enough 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:26.720 like me to be on air and fortunate enough to 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.240 be able to show up in some of these cable 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.479 news outlets and engage in pushing back against these fraudsters, 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:40.240 that's the story, and you must push back on these things. 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:45.280 It is clear and it is obvious that allowing for 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:49.480 this creates the problem, the opportunity for the problem. How 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.520 many times do we talk about voter fraud. You'd rarely 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.319 see somebody showing up to the voting booth claiming to 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.719 be somebody else, But you see ballad stuffing. This is 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.040 what the problems with with mail in ballots. You see 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.640 ballot harvesting, you see lots of issues. You see people 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.640 go to jail for this thing. And what the does 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.320 the left do? The left says, this doesn't happen, and 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.240 we don't need voter ID and we don't they want 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.920 to create the opportunity for fraud. By allowing these things 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:25.880 to occur, you are allowing for the opportunity for fraud. 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:32.440 Why would anybody allow for the opportunity for fraud. Why 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.160 in the world would you do it. The last questions 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.079 as silly as well. How many times has it happened? 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:44.760 Once is enough? You wouldn't allow this to happen in 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:49.280 any other part of your life, not once. Not Ever, 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.080 you wouldn't allow the opportunity for something like this in 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:57.520 any part of your life at all. Yet somehow, when 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.199 it comes to voting, yes it's fun. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.840 When it comes to the safety and security of the nation, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.440 yes it's fine. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.959 I did not know that something this basic would be 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.480 part of the culture war. But okay, it's a culture war. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:18.680 I'm in. I'm in. We win, you lose. That's the story. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.480 That's the way it has to be. This is the 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.720 right to move and the right maneuver. 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.280 And anybody who actually cared about the country or favored 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.280 the country would be completely in agreement. Anybody who favors 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:40.160 the destruction of the country, who favors the manipulation of elections, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:45.320 who doesn't care how many false or fraudulent votes come through, 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.480 They'll be fine with whatever happens, because destruction of the 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.960 nation is the name of the game. These are bad people. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.480 These aren't even American people as far as I'm concerned. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.160 I didn't say you had to like a political party, 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.240 so you had to think a certain way. We're having 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.920 a very baseline conversation here, what do you do to 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.200 protect the vote, and what do you do to say 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:13.160 a citizen as a citizen someone born in the US 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:18.960 who lives their life in another country under that's country's practices, 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.640 and then as the ability to vote in our elections, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:27.360 that's not a citizen. The court said they could be 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:33.240 considered a citizen. I say we can change this. Senator 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.040 Jim Banks says we can change this. And I argue 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.760 that the people who don't want to change this are 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.800 the people who want to do harm to the United 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.240 States or open up the opportunity and the capacity for 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.040 harm to be done to the United States. I think 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.880 we should stop them. I think we should cut them 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:55.880 off at the pass. So let's let's get this legislation through. 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.920 I don't know if these executive orders will hold, by 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:03.160 the way, I don't know if some signing by the 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:09.520 President makes this happen. But this is the direction to 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:14.040 go into. This is the direction. I'm Tony Katz. This 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:20.520 is Tony Katz today. So here's the update regarding around 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:32.280 Nothing's new. There's absolutely nothing new. Iran thinks they're in charge. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.040 We think there are a bunch of low lifes. And 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:42.400 that's that's it. That is it. That's the Iran update. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.240 Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, what's going on? 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.240 Everybody? Good to be with you. 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:53.280 Oh and breaking in the last hour or so, Senator 0:16:53.400 --> 0:17:00.480 Bill Cassidy, who has no love for President Trump, is 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.560 going to back Todd Blanche as Attorney General. 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:08.560 And vote in his favor. This is going to happen. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.359 This is going to happen. I don't know. 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.800 Where else we are so so far, you have Collins 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:27.800 opposing Blanche and now Lisa Murkowski. I was going to 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:32.040 say something very rude, and I decided, because I'm a professional, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.359 I won't do that. But if you see me walking 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.520 down the street, ask me and I'll tell you. So 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:48.280 Murkowski opposes Cassidy is in favor. The question becomes about 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:52.760 Mitch McConnell. Allegedly Mitch McConnell's now home and recovering, and people. 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.080 Said, oh, I talked to Mitch McConnell. 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:58.040 He's doing great. This whole thing is so weird. The 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:02.480 Mitch McConnell thing is weird. The Max Miller thing is weird. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.679 Because Max Miller is the guy accused of putting a 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:11.119 gun at his ex wife's head and his ex father 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:15.480 in law is the senator from Ohio, Bernie Moreno, it's 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.240 a really, really weird story. But he did not drop 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.640 out of this race in a time where Republicans could 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.320 easily replace him. So now there's a whole thing they 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.480 are going on with the House. He is not going 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:30.280 quietly into that good night, and he's not presenting himself 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:36.240 well either. But with McConnell, is McConnell going to vote 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.720 on Todd Blanche? Is he someone considered because if you 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.320 lost two in a fifty three forty seven Senate, now 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.840 you're fifty to fifty, well you're fifty forty seven, but 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.800 you get my point, while you're fifty forty nine in 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.880 this case, No wait, no, I take that back. You'd 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.159 be three down because McConnell, you're fifty to fifty. I 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.800 did the math right, and now you need a tie break. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:06.399 You can't afford to lose anybody else. There's really no reason, none, 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:11.600 for anybody to be opposed to Blanche. You cannot you 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:18.000 cannot state that Merrick Garland was okay, but Todd Blanchees. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.800 He can't do it. By the way, Jeffrey in the 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.480 chat room, you're right, it would be fifty forty nine 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:27.119 because if McConnell's not there, he's a no vote, but 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.320 he's not. He's a non vote, but he's not a 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.000 no vote. There we go, it would be fifty forty nine. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.520 He still can't afford to lose anybody else. That was 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:36.040 my point. 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.320 Man. That took a lot. I need a drink. I 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.440 do maybe two. This is Tony Katz today. 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:48.640 I don't enjoy talking about Zoron Mumdani. The communist Islamists, 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.520 I say Islamists. Some people are now into islamo Marxist. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.560 It's just too many, too many things. One thing, picket 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.800 is Lamists are communist. They're working together. This Red Green 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.119 alliance is very very real. And when they destroy Western civilization, 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.640 they will fight each other and the Commedis are gonna lose. 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.440 We all understand this, right. The Communists are. 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:11.359 Gonna get their ass is kicked. They're gonna lose so bad. 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:15.080 They are gonna lose. 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.880 Like Purdue against Indiana in an oaken bucket game. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:18.960 Now, for those of. 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.480 You who are not from here, let me say, for 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:27.920 the record, this is a dig on the new athletic 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:32.480 director Tommy McClelland, who made one of the great blunders 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:37.840 I've ever heard, and I have argued publicly that firing 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:38.879 him is on the table. 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.119 Tony Katz, Tony Kats today. Good to be with you. 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:42.119 I will get to that. 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.680 Ed Morrissey joins me right now from hot air dot com. 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:53.720 He appreciated my big ten humor. I bring up Mom Donnie, 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.920 and I don't you like to talk about New York 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.840 because it gets too much play. But what's important here 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.159 is that how this is trying to spread across the 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.119 country an election after election. But it was a really 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.600 interesting story in Staten Island. Now. Stotton Island is one 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.359 of the boroughs of New York where Mom Donnie is mayor, 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.439 and it is has always been a conservative, if not 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.480 Republican stronghold. These are very pro America people and they 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.800 don't see themselves as the rest of New York and. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:20.120 If they could break away, they would. 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:25.159 They had an event for a local police department. It 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:29.200 was a turnout with the neighbors kind of event, and 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:34.159 Mamdani showed up and after sixty seconds of speaking, gets 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:40.560 booed off the stage, gets booed off the stage. Yeah, 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:45.399 and it's embarrassing, it's humiliating for him. And then comes 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:52.399 the story that Mam Donnie, it turns out, has a very. 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:53.920 Very very thin bit of skin. 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.959 And this was the story front page of the New 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.400 York Post. Mam Donnie is thin skinned and hyper sensitive 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:05.720 in private, in private, despite unflappable social media image. 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:10.320 And my argument, ed, is that's where all these communists are. 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.640 That's just all these Islamis are, because none of them 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:17.520 can actually handle an actual discussion of what it is 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:21.639 they believe. Is there a tide turning based on what 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.800 you can see regarding Mom Donnie in New York and 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:26.760 is that now flowing through to the rest of the nation. 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.040 I'm not sure about New York City. I'm honestly not 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.160 sure about whether there's a tide turning in New York 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:34.320 City or not. Think it's too early to tell, But 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:37.160 I mean, we haven't had side elections or by elections 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:40.880 or anything else like that. And frankly, New York has 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.200 been turning kind of a radical for a while now. 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:47.320 They just nominated you know, Daria Lisis Chevalier and a 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:52.320 couple other DSA people, you know, outright DSA people for 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.160 the US House, and they're going to win those districts, 0:22:55.160 --> 0:23:01.320 so they'll be sitting in Congress next January unless there's 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.280 something really remarkable that goes on in those heavily Democratic 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.360 districts that's baked into the cake. So I'm not necessarily 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.560 sure about in New York City. I do think though, 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:15.400 that we might have seen peak DSA around the country. 0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.359 I would point to what's happening in Michigan, what happened 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:22.960 in Michigan this week, which was that abdulah Sayed was 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.800 supposedly had all this momentum behind him. You had five 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:29.040 different polsters that had him up by double digits in 0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:32.879 a Democrat primary within two and three weeks of the 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:37.240 actual primary vote, and he barely won the nomination, didn't 0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.600 get to fifty percent, barely won against Tiley Stephens. Haley 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:44.120 Stevens ends up winning Wayne County, which is Detroit, which 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:48.280 is remarkable that she won that county and still didn't 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.679 win the nomination. And that just goes to show you 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:54.240 that this is really a phenomenon that's really around college towns, right. 0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:57.160 And I've been arguing this all along, which is that 0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:01.160 this is only going to work in really concentrate blue bubbles. 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.440 Right when you get statewide in a state like Michigan, 0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:06.560 or if you want to go over to nearby Wisconsin 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:11.120 where Francesca hang is running for the Democrat nomination for governor, 0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.680 that's next week. Once you go, once you go statewide, 0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:17.920 that dissipates. And I think that because all of this 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:21.159 stuff is getting exposed about the DSA's actual agenda, I mean, 0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:24.600 they're explicit agenda. You can look at their explicit agenda 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:27.720 and see that what they're talking about is eliminating the Senate, 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:31.160 eliminating the presidency as we know it now, basically throwing 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.600 out the Constitution, going to a House of Representatives that 0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:39.640 acts more like a ball up bureau, and imposing a 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:45.680 no private property type of system on America, probably by force, 0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:47.760 because that's the way it it would have to proceed. 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.720 I think people understand now that these people are actual nuts, 0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.560 they're radicals. And right now you're seeing the media talk 0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.399 about this as a you know, Republicans are doing a 0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.879 red scare. This isn't a red scare. This is code red, 0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:01.720 by the way, and this is real. 0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.240
