For example, we saw through the 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: reporting of Nick Shirley, and you could tell that it's 39 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: good reporting because the left is very angry about it, 40 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: and you're like, hey, Tony, who the heck is Nick Shirley. 41 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: He's a twenty three year old who puts himself in 42 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: the middle of the danger and asks questions.

The left responds 59 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: by saying, well, you know that place was closed already. 60 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: If you had done any research, you already know that. 61 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: How much money did they steal before they closed? 62 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: Why isn't anybody on the political left interested in the theft? 63 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: You know, some things don't have to be defended.

When someone is stealing, you don't say, well, 68 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: I'd love to talk about it, but it might help Trump, 69 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: so therefore I can't. Therefore I won't. Do you know 70 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: how much you hate yourself and how much you hate others. 71 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 2: As was pointed out by Tom Bevan of at Real 72 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 2: Clear Politics, no coverage of the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, 73 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: or the Minneapolis Star Tribune about the fraud. And there's 74 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: a community note on X that says the New York 75 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: Times did run a story. A story is not coverage. 76 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: It's what you do when you want to say, well, 77 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: we talked about it, No you didn't. Russia Russia, Russia 78 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: was front page news based on allegations. 79 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 3: No one of those people did any reporting. 80 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: But here's this guy, Nick Shirley, just going from door 81 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: to door asking questions, getting threatened. 82 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: All the rest. 83 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: He did the work for you. Why not go out 84 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: there and say, okay, let's take this and now let's 85 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: put some quote unquote real journalists on it, feel the 86 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: air quotes and go about figuring out what happened here. 87 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: Why can't you do that?

Anybody involved 218 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: in this fraud needs to go to jail, and anybody 219 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: involved in the fraud who's a non citizen needs to 220 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: be deported along with their children. Don't care what the 221 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: courts say, goodbye, you aren't welcomed to be a citizen. 222 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: You're not. 223 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: But it does go deeper, including how can we allow 224 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: immigration from NA that are not interested in assimilation because 225 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: this is the conversation of assimilation. We think that this 226 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: is just a conversation of fraud. I think it's deeper 227 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: than that. I think everybody knows it and they're afraid 228 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: to say so, and then they think they can call 229 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: you a xenophobe or a racist or. 230 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 3: Bigot to get you to stop. 231 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: Nah.

So 234 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: we should discuss that. But the media won't talk. The 235 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: mainstream media won't talk about fraud because it might look 236 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: good for Trump as opposed to we have to put 237 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: an end to the fraud.

You charge the damn fee for the resort fees. 333 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: You pay a resort fee to access the pool. The 334 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: pools closed for winter. Who the hell are you. You 335 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 2: deserve all the derision you get.

And to the question of did 341 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 2: I tip, yes, I tipped. However, there is a serious, 342 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 2: maddening tipping thing going on across the country. If I 343 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: am buying a cup of coffee, right, that's all I'm doing, 344 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 2: buying a. 345 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: Cup of coffee, and you asked me for a tip, 346 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: you're wrong. 347 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: If I buy a bottle of water and the machine 348 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 2: asked me for a tip, you're wrong. 349 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: I can leave one if I choose, I can leave 350 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 3: a buck.

Everywhere, everywhere is in this tipping thing, this 354 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 2: tipping insanity. And they started eighteen percent, and then they 355 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 2: go up to twenty two percent, and they want you 356 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: tipping twenty five thirty percent. 357 00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 3: You're out of your heads. 358 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 2: And I'm not tipping for nonsense, don't be silly. I'm 359 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 2: tipping for service. Which I received. I went to Morimoto 360 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: at the MGM for sushi. I went to Momafuku in 361 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 2: the Cosmopolitan for dinner. Momafuku is brilliant, not good, not great, 362 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 2: not exceptional. It's brilliant, brilliant, is Momafuku. 363 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: I did go. 364 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 2: I wanted we wanted to try Italian, so I did 365 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: go to Buddy Velastro's place, Cake Boss there at the Venetian. 366 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: It was. 367 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 3: It was better than I thought it would be. 368 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: And then I ended up in the Conrad, which is 369 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: where the Cropfords is the Hilton, and then had a 370 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: Mexican place Viva by is it ray Garcia.

But you know, I believe in 429 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 14: measuring regality a little more empirically. And you know, I 430 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 14: don't know anyone in the United States in the last 431 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 14: twenty four years has been killed by radical Islam. 432 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 2: That's just stupid, Tucker, That's just stupid. You can't possibly 433 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: think you could push that story on America and not 434 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 2: get pushed back. That is stupid. And I don't think 435 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 2: Tucker's stupid, but he clearly wants you to believe him. 436 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 2: He wants you to be stupid. You don't know anybody 437 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: in the past twenty four years that has died from 438 00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: radical Islam. The entire conversation about Islam, this is nothing 439 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: more than an Israeli sigh up, Tucker, Tucker, bitch, are 440 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: you crazy? 441 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 3: Are you out of your mind? 442 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: You know that that's not true. You know that the 443 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 2: Islamist is an issue because you used to talk about. 444 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 3: It on Fox? 445 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: Did you forget? Does the Katari money make you blind 446 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: to your past? Well, I have no proof that Tucker 447 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: is getting all the Katari money. I'm just asking what 448 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: in the world would make you say this? If it's 449 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 2: not the Katari money, what then answer Jackie Eat say 450 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 2: I don't know jackieat Chay, no idea who she is. 451 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 3: She put out a quick list. She put out a 452 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 3: quick list right here. 453 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: Of well some things that have happened since September eleventh, 454 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: because that's why Tucker said twenty four years. The Fort 455 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: Hood shooting in two thousand and nine, the Boston Marathon 456 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: bombing in twenty thirteen, the San Bernardino attack in twenty fifteen, 457 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: the Pulse nightclub remember that in Orlando that was twenty sixteen, 458 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: New York City truck attack which was twenty seventeen, the 459 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 2: naval air station of Pensecola, which was twenty nineteen. And 460 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: then we started twenty twenty five New Year's Day with 461 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: an Islamist who drove his truck through the streets of 462 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: New Orleans killed twelve twelve people. 463 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 3: And then, of course, just a month ago, two National 464 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 3: Guard troops were shot. 465 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: Is Lomist. What the what the hell are you talking about? 466 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 2: Islamists are a si op from the Israelis. Do you 467 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 2: know how dumb you have to be to believe that? 468 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 2: Do you know how much of a liar you have 469 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: to be to say that? 470 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 3: And even if you were to believe. 471 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 2: Something that insane, which history shows us is not the case, 472 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: if only for from the halls of Montezuma to the 473 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 2: shores of Tripoli. To say you don't know anybody killed 474 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: is just an insult on insults. But it's not done 475 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 2: because Candace Owens wants to play in this game. Candace 476 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 2: Owens had a post going back to twenty nineteen, and 477 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 2: the post reads, with you, brother, I know she's responding 478 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 2: to you. Time's up on this nonsense. This country was 479 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: built upon Judeo Christian values. The left routinely mocks Christians, 480 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 2: defends anti Semitism, and yet demands we all shut up 481 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 2: about Islam. No, no, one, no, She writes, we are 482 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 2: going to talk about it. You can see the date 483 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: right there is March eighteenth, twenty nineteen. What does she 484 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: right on December twenty sixth. December twenty sixth, twenty twenty five, 485 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 2: she writes, No matter how hard the GOP tries to 486 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 2: make radical Islam happen, the base doesn't care about it. 487 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 3: We are way more concerned about Israel. 488 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 2: You can deny reality and scream about Tucker, but the 489 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: party can no longer be governed by those who refuse 490 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: to acknowledge the Zionist elephants in the room. So now 491 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: you want to again play in the insanity game that 492 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: the discussion regarding Islamists is made up. You think it's deflection. 493 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: We've been discussing this for years. I've been discussing this 494 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 2: since I first, as a young man, became aware of 495 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 2: the issue when they threw Leon Klinghoffer off the Achille 496 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 2: Larro in his freaking wheelchair. I would argue that both 497 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 2: Tucker and Candace are stupid, but that's not it. But 498 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 2: are they engaged in something that is radical and gross 499 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: and wrong and ugly? 500 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 3: And are they wrong? Absolutely? 501 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 2: Now we get into the even more fundamental question, how 502 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 2: in the world do I engage a coalition to reelect 503 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 2: Republicans in twenty twenty six in the midterms If they're 504 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 2: a part of the coalition. 505 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 3: I have got thoughts those are coming up. 506 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: Keep it here. 507 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 3: This is Tony Katz today. 508 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 2: Wall Street journaled with the headline Goodbye gentle parenting, Hello, 509 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 2: f around and find out. Yes this is good Tony Katz. 510 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 2: Tony Katz today. Oh, I hope this is true. I 511 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: hope this is true. Parents are ditching the softer approach 512 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 2: of child hearing that has dominated the culture and taking 513 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: the harder line out feral there, feral. Maybe the problem 514 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 2: is you let the kids get feral. Actually having this 515 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 2: conversation over cigar over the weekend, and one of the 516 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 2: things that I do want to do is I do 517 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 2: want to do more conversation about this. Every parent must 518 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 2: start with a basic thesis. Parents are not friends their parents. 519 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 2: It's a very different role. And if you're one of 520 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 2: these people men or women who are like, oh, my 521 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 2: kid is my best friend, you're doing it wrong. You're wrong. Now, 522 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 2: who am I to tell people how to parent? Well, 523 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 2: I'm not here to tell you. You don't have to 524 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 2: listen to me. But parents are not friends. They are parents. 525 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 2: It's a different role. Your kid can make friends, but 526 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 2: they only have one mom and they only have one dad. 527 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 2: And that's that Tony. 528 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 3: You know they can have two dads. 529 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 2: Would you please shut up and let me do my job. 530 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: Being the parent means being direct and being focused. It 531 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 2: means explaining things the way they are, not the way 532 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 2: that makes the kid feel good. And it's not about 533 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 2: being feral or out farrowing the Feroh, it's about knowing 534 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 2: when you have to end something. 535 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 3: You have to end the madness. 536 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 2: Now, there's also a difference of parenting between husbands and wives. 537 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 2: So how mothers and fathers do things, that's part of 538 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 2: what makes it so good. Kids need that. You need 539 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 2: what a mom offers, you need what a dad offers. 540 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 2: I didn't say it was easy, especially when you're a father, 541 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 2: to have to be direct and be like, man, I 542 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 2: just crushed them butt or crushed her. But man, they're 543 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 2: gonna take that rough. But it has to get done 544 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 2: sometimes because you're the parents, not the friends. We start 545 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 2: there everyone to be better off. Is Tony Kat's gonna. 546 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: Live from Vaal Hartbiner and the Crossroads of America.

Is this 556 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,479 Speaker 2: your argument? Why don't you just retire already, Marjorie Taylor Green, 557 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 2: Go get your job over at CNN or at The 558 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: View or wherever the hell you're gonna end up. 559 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 3: Just leave you absolutely ridiculous childs.

This is the Cameroon. 571 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 2: I think it's the nineteen oh three. 572 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 3: That is what I am smoking today. 573 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 2: I do smoke during the show, and I don't apologize 574 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 2: for it whatsoever.

A couple things within that, 583 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 2: first and foremost, the people who were upset that we 584 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 2: took out Iran's nuclear capability. 585 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 3: That's a very very odd set of folk. 586 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 2: The yes, the Tuckers and Kansases, I assume candas there 587 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 2: the Dave Smiths, et cetera. It is one thing to 588 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 2: make an argument about policy. It's another thing to make 589 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 2: an argument about Hey, let's gamble. There's this constant conversation 590 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 2: regarding Israel about well, you can't have a conversation about 591 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 2: Israel with these people because they'll always tell you how 592 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 2: you're an anti semi If you start with the idea 593 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 2: of Israel as genocidal, well, first you're daft. You might 594 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 2: as well be a celebrity making a video, and it's 595 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 2: you should be called out for it for being an 596 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 2: absolute lying fraud, because it's it starts with a real 597 00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 2: gross failure of the person engaged in the converse. 598 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 3: To recognize that war as hell is not just a phrase. 599 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 3: It has a real effect on people. 600 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 2: The argument of the Dave Smith's of the world is 601 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 2: that Israel should not be allowed to engage in any 602 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 2: response that in and of itself. 603 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 3: Should not be allowed. 604 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 2: It's a weird, weird position to take, and it is 605 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 2: such a weird position to take that you can't actually 606 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 2: point to the place with ease and say where else 607 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 2: does that happen? Where else does that take place? Where 608 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 2: else does that in any way connect or compute? Hamas 609 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 2: are the terrorists? Hamas is the reason anybody in Gaza suffers. 610 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 2: Remember when they would call it an open air prison. Well, 611 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 2: if Gaza was an open air prison, Hamas was the warden. 612 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 2: We all know this. 613 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 3: We're past this part of it. 614 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 2: If you want to discuss that Israel shouldn't get money 615 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 2: from us, okay, okay. 616 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 3: Now, this used to be the philosophy of people like 617 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,720 Speaker 3: for example, Congsman, Thomas Massey. 618 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 2: Massi's philosophy has changed, and I have shown issue with 619 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 2: that because it has. It's changed aggressively and unnecessarily. You 620 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 2: don't think that Israel should get any support, all right, 621 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 2: I happen to disagree with that, But I also disagree 622 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 2: with the philosophy that support for other nations is a 623 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,320 Speaker 2: bad thing as opposed to providing US value. Again, this 624 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 2: goes back to the conversation of Ukraine and Russia. I 625 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 2: said we should from the beginning. I am well, on 626 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 2: the record, we should give Ukraine bullets, we should give 627 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 2: you Ukraine guns, we should give Ukraine other armaments. 628 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 3: But I never flavored and favored a no fly zone. 629 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 2: Why because if the United States gets involved in patrolling 630 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 2: a no fly zone, and now you have this Russian 631 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 2: MiG coming into the no fly zone, how do you 632 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 2: get it out of the no fly zone? You have 633 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 2: put the United States at war with Russia. 634 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 3: I was not there for that. That isn't the place 635 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 3: we should have been. 636 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 2: But by not being more proactive and now seeing how 637 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 2: Ukraine is coming to the table saying okay, we're gonna 638 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 2: have to give up land, We're gonna give up these 639 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 2: areas of the dunebas Denet's Klahansk Zapporsia. There's a conversation 640 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 2: of a nuclear facility there and Russia saying we've already 641 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 2: now won this thing. Now we're only talking about how 642 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 2: much land we're gonna get. 643 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 3: We want it all, we want it all. 644 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 2: We didn't get involved the way maybe we should have 645 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 2: gotten involved. We didn't get involved stronger, earlier, tougher. We 646 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 2: had these people who say Ukraine's none of our concern 647 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 2: and Russia will now get rewarded for its aggression. The 648 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: question before us is where's the value in that Hamas 649 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 2: sponsored by the Iranians, the Ayatola murdered twelve hundred people, 650 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 2: not all Israelis, and three years later, two years later, 651 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 2: two and a half years later, Spain and Canada and 652 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 2: the UK and Australia recognize Palestine as a state. They 653 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 2: got what they wanted. They got what they wanted, and 654 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 2: the immediate response from the anti Israel set when Israel 655 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 2: engaged back was look at what terrible thing you're doing. 656 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 2: Don't start nothing, won't be nothing. What happened to this? 657 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,839 Speaker 3: What makes the last two and a half years so remarkable? 658 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 2: Two years let's call it, because there is a quasi 659 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 2: cease fire piece deal going on. It isn't being honored 660 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 2: by anybody, perfectly not being honored by the palst Indians 661 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 2: and a mass and then not being honored by Israel 662 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 2: because well, Amas isn't honoring the thing, so why in 663 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 2: the world. 664 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 3: Should they honor any part of it. 665 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 2: The argument was was somehow that Israel is supposed to 666 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 2: just take it, and when Israel didn't take it, that 667 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 2: reset the mind for a lot of people, like, what's 668 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 2: happening here? What's going on here? Why isn't Israel doing 669 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,919 Speaker 2: exactly what they're supposed to do? Because Israel said, Okay, 670 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 2: we're done here. We don't care, we don't care. These 671 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 2: people have to go. We're not living like this anymore. 672 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 2: The Israeli people changed on a dime, and the leftists 673 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 2: and pseudo intellectual. 674 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 3: What do you call them when they're not warhawks's at pansies? 675 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 2: They couldn't figure out what they were supposed to do, 676 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 2: so they engaged in this insanity pressure campaign about genocide, 677 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,919 Speaker 2: which of course the only genocidal people is Amas has 678 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 2: Beulah and the Ayatola. End of list, it's not the Israelis. 679 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 2: But oh, here comes Natanyahu, and nat and Yahoo wants 680 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 2: Trump to start another war with Iran, always wants the 681 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 2: United States start another war with Iran. What happened to 682 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 2: the recognition of good guys and bad guys, Where did 683 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 2: that go? We can't state that the Russians are the 684 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 2: bad guys. We can't state that the Iranians, the Diyatola 685 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 2: is the bad guy. This story out of the Wall 686 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 2: Street Journal with the weirdest, weirdest headline about how they're 687 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 2: loosening social restrictions in Iran, but they're crushing descent. 688 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 3: They're not crushing descent. 689 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 2: They have executed over eighteen hundred people. 690 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 3: In Iran this year. 691 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 2: Those are the people that somehow I'm supposed to play 692 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 2: nice with, that I'm supposed to think are somehow decent 693 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 2: and good. 694 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 3: Aren't a threat? 695 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,919 Speaker 2: We all out of our heads? Can we not say 696 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 2: that there are good people and bad people, good actors 697 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:56,360 Speaker 2: and bad actors. I am not saying that anyone is perfect. 698 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that the Israelis don't deserve any level 699 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 2: of derision. They do many things that you could say 700 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 2: that's wrong or that's wrong, or that's wrong. Taking out terrorists, well, 701 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 2: they're not taking out terrorists. They're bombing poor defenseless Palestindians. 702 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 2: Did I start or did I not start? With war 703 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 2: as hell? Can I help you? They hide under the 704 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 2: hospitals and they hide under the schools. Where is the 705 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 2: argument for hamas is the problem? And since there is 706 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 2: no arguments for that in any large measure, well we 707 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 2: see a fundamental flaw. And then you get people like this, 708 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 2: ignorantly said people simping for Israel is a bold move. 709 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 3: This isn't even a conversation about Israel. See, this is 710 00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 3: exactly it. 711 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 6: Is. 712 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 2: You can't just have a conversation about policy. I'm having 713 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 2: a conversation about policy. Up and up. It's simping. Simp 714 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 2: I g simp too, simp or the act of being 715 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 2: a simple Grown ups understand that there are good actors 716 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,640 Speaker 2: and bad actors. There are worthy allies and they are 717 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,320 Speaker 2: unworthy allies. I think Israel is a worthy ally. You 718 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 2: don't want to send the money. Oh okay, you don't 719 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 2: want to send the money. The argument somehow they're wrong 720 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 2: in noticing that Iran is a threat to everyone. They've 721 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 2: executed eighteen hundred of their own people. The Israelis are right. 722 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't we support them in taking out the people 723 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,439 Speaker 2: who want to do us harm? Well, they're not doing 724 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 2: us harm because you've got the Tucker Carlson's of the 725 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 2: world and the Candace owans is of the world saying, Oh, 726 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about the Islamist. The Islamist 727 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 2: isn't the issue. It's just an israelisiop You know that 728 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 2: that's insane. 729 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:10,880 Speaker 8: Of course you do. 730 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,799 Speaker 2: The data tells you that. Yet this is what they 731 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 2: put out there, this is how they try and engage it. 732 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 2: So now we go back to it and ask ourselves 733 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:28,759 Speaker 2: the question. I'm here more than willing to have a 734 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 2: conversation about Israeli policy, is that what they're having a 735 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 2: conversation about No, they're having a conversation about is saying 736 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 2: that Israel should not be an ally and Israel should 737 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:50,720 Speaker 2: not exist. 738 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:55,879 Speaker 3: That's their argument. 739 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,800 Speaker 2: That the nations that do the evil should be left alone, 740 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 2: and the nations having the evil done to them are 741 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 2: the issue. 742 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 3: That's what we're dealing with here, That's what we're seeing here. 743 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:20,360 Speaker 2: I take Israel's side over Iran side every day of 744 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,760 Speaker 2: the week and twice on Sunday. 745 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,439 Speaker 3: It doesn't mean I agree with everything Israel does. 746 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 2: I take Saudi Arabia side over Iran side every day 747 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 2: of the week and twice on Sunday, and I don't 748 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:36,200 Speaker 2: like everything Saudi Arabia does. And I still say that 749 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,439 Speaker 2: we didn't treat them the way we needed to. After 750 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 2: September eleventh, I'm still bothered and unforgivable by George Bush 751 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:52,760 Speaker 2: in my view. So Natan Yahoo's in town, and Marjorie 752 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 2: Taylor Green is upset about it. Let her just retire 753 00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 2: and go get her job at CNN. You don't have 754 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,399 Speaker 2: to agree with everything. I never asked you to agree 755 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 2: with everything. Certainly, if you don't think that Israel should exist, 756 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 2: I think that that's gross. It's just weird. You don't 757 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 2: think Israel should be able to fight back and take 758 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 2: out the terrorist threat that is a threat to them 759 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 2: on every part of their border. I think that's messed up. 760 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,359 Speaker 2: I think that's to deny reality. I think those people 761 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:28,840 Speaker 2: should be dismissed. But it's weird that Trump would have 762 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 2: a sit down with the Prime Minister of Israel or 763 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,600 Speaker 2: the president of Ukraine. 764 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 3: Or any other nation. That that's just weird. Kids, that's 765 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 3: just weird. 766 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 2: Keep it here. This is Tony Kats today. So the 767 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 2: National Guard gets blocked by the Supreme Court. This is 768 00:51:54,960 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 2: for use in Illinois. It was a six to three 769 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,720 Speaker 2: decision to block Trump from deploying the National Guard in Chicago. 770 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,359 Speaker 2: I believe this is a mistake. Tony Katz, Tony kats today, 771 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:14,920 Speaker 2: good to be with you. The fundamental here is whether 772 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 2: or not the president can decide when an emergency is 773 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 2: in place, who gets to make that call of it's 774 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 2: not the president who does who gets to make the decision? 775 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 2: There was a lawsuit. Trump invokes federal law to federalize 776 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,800 Speaker 2: about three hundred members of the National Guard and deploy 777 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,840 Speaker 2: them to protect federal personnel, federal buildings, property, things like 778 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 2: like that. Trump administration argues that there are protesters obstructing right. 779 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 2: This is actually a good right up from Fox News there. 780 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 2: They're assaulting and threatening ice officers, and the National Guard 781 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:59,359 Speaker 2: was needed because Illinois would not engage this. They didn't 782 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 2: but local law enforcement on it. So therefore something had 783 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:06,279 Speaker 2: to be done. Illinois goes about saying no, no, no, no, 784 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 2: no no, no, no, no no. The Trump administration didn't 785 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 2: satisfy and any criteria in the law because it states 786 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 2: the president can only use these reserve forces when he 787 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 2: was quote unable with the regular forces to execute the 788 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 2: laws of the United States. So what the court, the 789 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:34,919 Speaker 2: Supreme Court ruled what the Supreme Court ruled is that yes, 790 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 2: the lower court decisions will be upheld as things continue 791 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,120 Speaker 2: to move through the courts. What Trump want to do 792 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 2: is say, hey, I still want to be able to 793 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 2: do this. Let things move through the courts, but I 794 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,399 Speaker 2: should still be allowed to do this. The Supreme Court 795 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 2: did not give him this. The unsigned order from the 796 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 2: court orders that regular forces meant the US military, not 797 00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 2: ICE or other civilian law enforcement. So if we're in aged, honestly, 798 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 2: Trump could send in units troops, however you want to 799 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 2: call it, to deal with any threat to federal building's 800 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 2: federal property, not necessarily ICE, because that is of a 801 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 2: different jurisdiction, a different category. Samuel Alito out there with 802 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,120 Speaker 2: the descent saying, what in the bloody heck are we doing. 803 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 2: Whatever one may think about the current administration's enforcement of 804 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,439 Speaker 2: the immigration laws or the way ICE is conducted its operations, 805 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,760 Speaker 2: the protection of federal officers from potentially lethal attack should 806 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 2: not be thwarted under the court's interpretation, writes Aledo, National 807 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 2: Guard members could arrest and process aliens who are subject 808 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 2: to deportation, but they would lack statutory authorization to perform 809 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 2: purely protective functions. Our country has traditionally been wary of 810 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 2: using soldiers as domestic police, but it has been comfortable 811 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 2: with their use for purely protective purposes. His argument is, 812 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,799 Speaker 2: we are engaging in something here that can only lead 813 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 2: to danger. 814 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,280 Speaker 3: Since when is that our standard? 815 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 2: If asked, I don't like the maths sending out of 816 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 2: National Guard troops across these cities, but dear gosh, I 817 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,799 Speaker 2: much rather start seeing some safety and security and why 818 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,280 Speaker 2: aren't these other states providing? 819 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 3: Keep it here?

Uh, there's a this has been ongoing for 878 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 2: net and Yahoo, and Trump has been very public to 879 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 2: Issa Kurtzok, the presidents of Israel to give him a pardon. 880 00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,680 Speaker 2: I think it's an odd thing to ask for. This 881 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 2: is Israeli politics, and I don't want to be involved 882 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 2: in that part of it. Oh listen, I like Netan Yahoo, 883 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 2: but I've also said from the very beginning, net Yahoo 884 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 2: was prime minister when Israel was attacked. 885 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 3: This happened on his watch. 886 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 2: Now that the war is quote unquote over, I'm amazed 887 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 2: he's still in power. I'm amazed that they haven't called 888 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 2: for a new election yet. I'm actually shocked by it 889 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 2: because I said he's got to go. I'm amazed he's 890 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 2: still there because while the Israelis may appreciate his fight, 891 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,240 Speaker 2: I don't think they've forgiven the action. And when you 892 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 2: are the leader, and you're the leader based on safety 893 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 2: and security and you can't bring it. 894 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 3: Well, that leader oftentimes has to go. 895 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 7: I know. 896 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 9: All of the bad ones. They sent in some bad people, 897 00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 9: and that to me was just terrible. And they send 898 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 9: in drugs. Now, I will say this, ninety seven percent 899 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 9: of the drugs coming in by sea stopped. We're trying 900 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 9: to figure out who the other three percent of it. 901 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 9: They have a hard time getting people to pilot those boats. 902 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 9: But ninety seven percent of the drugs coming in by 903 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 9: the ocean, by the sea, by water are gone. Every 904 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 9: boat that we take out we save twenty five thousand 905 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 9: lives of Americans. 906 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 8: Thank you very much, everybody.

There's always some other kind 995 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 2: of kind of insanity that that goes forward. The question, 996 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 2: of course, of whether or not Trump is is supportive 997 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 2: of that, yahoo I think is? I think that's that's 998 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 2: an opening shut case he is. But everything with Trump is, 999 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 2: you know, to a point, it's a thousand percent to 1000 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:32,240 Speaker 2: a point. There's only if if if Israel was involved 1001 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 2: in a proactive attack on name a nation. I don't 1002 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 2: think Trump will be down because it's not who he is, 1003 01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:45,160 Speaker 2: it's not how he fundamentally works. But there's the the 1004 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 2: the line there that I thought that mattered was if 1005 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:58,840 Speaker 2: Iran has anything nuclear, yes we're going to go in. Yes, 1006 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,920 Speaker 2: we're going to engage in that fight. Yes, no question, 1007 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,760 Speaker 2: we're going to take that out. We're going to end it. 1008 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 2: That's one heck of a that's one heck of a 1009 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:14,560 Speaker 2: statement right there, that that was said with emphasis, and 1010 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:22,200 Speaker 2: that's gonna drive the pseudo intellectual left crazy. But there 1011 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 2: has to be a recognitions we were discussing earlier, not 1012 01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 2: no one's perfect. 1013 01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 3: What is this idea of perfect? No nation is perfect? 1014 01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 3: The United States is not perfect. 1015 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 2: But if we're going to rate these things, Israel's not 1016 01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,560 Speaker 2: perfect better than Iran. Now, if you want to argue 1017 01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 2: that Iran with the Ayatola is better than Israel, knock 1018 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 2: yourself out. I'll laugh at you. I'll laugh at you. 1019 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 2: Can be friends with South Korea, or we can be 1020 01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 2: friends with China. I would rather be friends with everybody, 1021 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,240 Speaker 2: but South Korea's got some weird politics, although they have 1022 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:14,160 Speaker 2: a new leader right now, and this woman seems outrageously strong, 1023 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 2: and China is run by a communist party that wants 1024 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:23,000 Speaker 2: to destroy us. What do we rank the things right? 1025 01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 3: The things? Who should we be aligned with and who 1026 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 3: should we be dealing with forcefully? 1027 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,680 Speaker 2: That's all. That's what grownups do. But if we're not 1028 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 2: going to engage in a grown up style, I got nothing. 1029 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 2: I got nothing for anybody. I'm going to engage like 1030 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 2: a grown up. Ain't nobody perfect, but some people are 1031 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 2: better than other people. That's easy, easily said. Keep it here. 1032 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,720 Speaker 3: Much more to get to, including what Trump. 1033 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,040 Speaker 2: Did on Christmas Day and why it matters and why 1034 01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 2: every Christian needs to be focused on it. 1035 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 3: I'm Tony Katz.

If 1085 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 2: one wants to argue that it is xenophobic or bigoted, 1086 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 2: or what is the term they use, the lie of Islamophobia, 1087 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 2: it's a fear Muslims.

And of course the focus is going to 1104 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,120 Speaker 1: be on Somali smallly nationals, those involved, and whether or 1105 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 1: not there is a compatibility with Western civilization, something that 1106 01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:32,679 Speaker 1: I've discussed repeatedly. 1107 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,599 Speaker 3: Tony Katz, Tony kats today, Good to be here, Good 1108 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:36,080 Speaker 3: to be with you. 1109 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:39,479 Speaker 2: But shouldn't we be looking at whether or not other 1110 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 2: states are engaged in this fraud, even if they don't 1111 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:42,120 Speaker 2: know it. 1112 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,680 Speaker 3: I mean, shouldn't this be job number one?

To me, that's kind of everything. Governor 1115 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 2: Mike Brawn joins me right now. He is the governor 1116 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 2: of Indiana, that is my state, and I saw you 1117 01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:07,720 Speaker 2: you're there on Fox News. Red state governor touts and 1118 01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 2: medicaid savings as Minnesota grapples with widespread fraud allegations. Now, 1119 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,639 Speaker 2: there have been issues here in the state of Indiana 1120 01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:16,760 Speaker 2: with not having the money. 1121 01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:18,720 Speaker 3: There was a we're going to have. 1122 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,200 Speaker 2: A shortfall over here on other budget issues, and that 1123 01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 2: led to attacks on cigars, which you know that I 1124 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,880 Speaker 2: vehemently opposed and thought was all sorts of wrong, sir, 1125 01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,840 Speaker 2: And I'll yell about you at you about that later, 1126 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,640 Speaker 2: but let's start with what you're seeing in Minnesota, what 1127 01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 2: it is that has been exposed. What did you do 1128 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,240 Speaker 2: when you first heard this story, and what is the 1129 01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 2: plan to make sure that kind of fraud isn't happening 1130 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,639 Speaker 2: in Indiana, and what should other governors be doing? 1131 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 6: Well, Tony, it didn't surprise me other than the magnitude 1132 01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 6: of it, and mostly. 1133 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,160 Speaker 11: Because of the six years I spent in the Senate 1134 01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 11: on the Budget Committee. 1135 01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 6: I was on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and also 1136 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,720 Speaker 6: the Agent Committee, which did a lot of investigative work 1137 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,679 Speaker 6: about just the kind of stuff you're talking about. 1138 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 11: I remember, and I did mention it on Fox when like. 1139 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,720 Speaker 6: Just one hundred three percent of all the checks that 1140 01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 6: are written by the federal government or either to the 1141 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 6: wrong payee or for the wrong amount or both. It 1142 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,680 Speaker 6: is so rampant there, and any state that buys in 1143 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,799 Speaker 6: and wants to scale things like Medicaid, which were intended 1144 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,519 Speaker 6: for the people that really were hurting to find healthcare, 1145 01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:32,800 Speaker 6: couldn't afford insurance, you know, fell into the cracks. It's 1146 01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:37,240 Speaker 6: been so abused, it's been run so poorly. You can 1147 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 6: actually see something like that amazed me. A guy like 1148 01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:46,240 Speaker 6: Tim Walls obviously has zero interest in running his agencies efficiently. 1149 01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,720 Speaker 6: When I came back to run for governor, it was 1150 01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,920 Speaker 6: with that intent, and I think we did that by 1151 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 6: reorganizing state government. And then we started digging into all 1152 01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,519 Speaker 6: of the agencies that even in a state like Indiana, 1153 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,280 Speaker 6: when you bloated it with all the federal borrowed and 1154 01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:07,160 Speaker 6: spent COVID money, there's sloppiness in there, and we found 1155 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:10,640 Speaker 6: already a lot of savings. This is just something of 1156 01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:14,679 Speaker 6: the magnitude it's hard to imagine it's happened. 1157 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,519 Speaker 3: If you were going to describe it, sir, what is it? 1158 01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:23,320 Speaker 2: Is it the standard operating procedure of government to not 1159 01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 2: run properly, or you spent years in the private sector 1160 01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,960 Speaker 2: building your business in a place called Jasper, Indiana in 1161 01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 2: the world of automotive parts, things like that. 1162 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:39,240 Speaker 3: Is this in your view? Was this proactive? 1163 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 2: Is this in your view proactive fraud or is this 1164 01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,599 Speaker 2: just what happens in government? 1165 01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:52,080 Speaker 6: So it was proactive fraud by the fraudsters. But due 1166 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,200 Speaker 6: to the fact that the government, and here's the main 1167 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:59,599 Speaker 6: difference between the real world, there's no competition. Your revenues 1168 01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,560 Speaker 6: are given into you. So the people that run it, 1169 01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,440 Speaker 6: Tony have generally pivoted into. 1170 01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,000 Speaker 11: Politics right out of law school. 1171 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 6: And they are the ones that have never had an 1172 01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,519 Speaker 6: interest in how you manage things, how you get the 1173 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:18,400 Speaker 6: best results from it. Obviously, it's a broken healthcare system. 1174 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:23,040 Speaker 6: I described private healthcare as an unregulated utility. I fixed 1175 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,760 Speaker 6: that in my own business seventeen years ago. That's a 1176 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:29,360 Speaker 6: whole nother discussion. But when you have money that is 1177 01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:34,840 Speaker 6: so easily accessed, especially the spendings free that occurred through 1178 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:38,720 Speaker 6: COVID in the Biden administration doing the Cares Act was 1179 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 6: bad enough because that was an overreaction, But then all 1180 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,720 Speaker 6: of this is a result of they want the benefits, 1181 01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 6: they have zero interest in managing it, and then it's 1182 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 6: a fertile field for this. This amazed me because Minnesota 1183 01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,120 Speaker 6: is I think a smaller state than we are. 1184 01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:01,559 Speaker 11: Run blue like ill no I, California. 1185 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,400 Speaker 6: In New York, you know, mimicking the federal government the 1186 01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:07,439 Speaker 6: amount of fraud and waste that eyewitness in six years 1187 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,360 Speaker 6: and could get no interest. On the other side, I mean, 1188 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:14,720 Speaker 6: it's their growth business, and they worship it like a cathedral, 1189 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,280 Speaker 6: and they run it in a way that is going 1190 01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:19,280 Speaker 6: to probably run it into the ditch. And we're seeing 1191 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:22,519 Speaker 6: those results, you know, on a bigger scale, two trillion 1192 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 6: dollar deficits annually, but we're virtually now. 1193 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,160 Speaker 2: It's by the way, population Minnesota is five point eight 1194 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:32,040 Speaker 2: million via online check. Talking to the governor of Indiana, 1195 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,240 Speaker 2: Mike Brown, former senator from Indiana, I want to go 1196 01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:42,840 Speaker 2: back to really this fundamental here, because no one should 1197 01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,720 Speaker 2: think that this is happening just in Minnesota. If there 1198 01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,680 Speaker 2: are those within state governments who come out of law 1199 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:54,600 Speaker 2: schools utilizing your words. The ideology is built in, so 1200 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 2: therefore they're looking the other way takes place. I often 1201 01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:02,280 Speaker 2: argue that at what we see from socialism is not 1202 01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,320 Speaker 2: a bug, it's a feature. When you put bad people 1203 01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,800 Speaker 2: in the wrong position, they'll look the other way, they'll 1204 01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,240 Speaker 2: allow the bad things to take place. And that seems 1205 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 2: to be a lot of what happened here in Minnesota. 1206 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,599 Speaker 2: How do you ensure you talk about digging into state 1207 01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,639 Speaker 2: government here in Indiana, and this is a conversation about 1208 01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:21,920 Speaker 2: other states as well, how do you make sure what 1209 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,640 Speaker 2: actions have you taken in the state of Indiana and 1210 01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,000 Speaker 2: what actions do you think governors should take to be 1211 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:30,679 Speaker 2: looking into this exact issue about waste, fraud and serious 1212 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:32,960 Speaker 2: abuse with medicare Medicaid. 1213 01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:36,720 Speaker 6: So there's a lot of low hanging fruit when we 1214 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 6: got here and over and especially through the COVID period. 1215 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 6: In the last decade, Indiana's medicaid spending increased by one 1216 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 6: hundred and thirty five percent. That's probably average. They lured 1217 01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:54,519 Speaker 6: you in with paying for most of it. When stuff 1218 01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 6: is nearly free and you're lured in by it, that 1219 01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,680 Speaker 6: doesn't mean it's going to be well. And you're not 1220 01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:02,720 Speaker 6: going to find stuff. Here's what we found out of 1221 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:07,200 Speaker 6: the gate. We found over ten thousand people I think 1222 01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,240 Speaker 6: the figure was in Indiana that should have been on 1223 01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:14,760 Speaker 6: medicare not on Medicaid. They didn't even get switched over 1224 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,160 Speaker 6: at the appropriate time that would have eliminated that burden 1225 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,479 Speaker 6: very simple. We found that they were double dipping in 1226 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,440 Speaker 6: some cases where you had people actually getting Medicaid benefits 1227 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:28,719 Speaker 6: out of multiple states. 1228 01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,719 Speaker 11: We had a very renowned program that people moved. 1229 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,719 Speaker 6: Into the state for ABA therapy, which treats autistic children, 1230 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,680 Speaker 6: but we were like advertising it and then we let 1231 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:45,280 Speaker 6: benefits go way beyond sustainability. We pulled all that stuff 1232 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,759 Speaker 6: back and as a result, we're going to be spending 1233 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,280 Speaker 6: roughly twelve percent less. We're going to focus on the 1234 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,559 Speaker 6: people that need it, and we're just getting started because 1235 01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 6: that's such a big program that we're going to find 1236 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,960 Speaker 6: more as we go. A and I was surprised, even 1237 01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,160 Speaker 6: in a state like ours that is relatively well run 1238 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:09,240 Speaker 6: compared to blue states, can't imagine how things got off 1239 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:12,760 Speaker 6: the wagon during COVID. We're bringing it all back on 1240 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,760 Speaker 6: and we're going to be saving a ton of money 1241 01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:16,840 Speaker 6: well over the next. 1242 01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,519 Speaker 3: Several years talking to the Governor of Indiana, Mike Braun. 1243 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,680 Speaker 2: This is the same conversation in terms of how you 1244 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,640 Speaker 2: deal with the response and the reaction that Democrats are 1245 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,519 Speaker 2: trying to push upon Republicans. As we come to the 1246 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,000 Speaker 2: end of the year, there is no extension of those 1247 01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:35,360 Speaker 2: Obamacare subsidies that Democrats have voted in. They voted to 1248 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,719 Speaker 2: have expired the end of this year, end of twenty 1249 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,639 Speaker 2: twenty five. And you're going to hear, well, you're raising 1250 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:44,400 Speaker 2: healthcare costs on the American people. And when you talk 1251 01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 2: about reining in certain levels of this spending, when you 1252 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,000 Speaker 2: talk about how we're going to eliminate some levels of 1253 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,600 Speaker 2: waste and take a look and make some cuts, what 1254 01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,920 Speaker 2: you're going to hear is, Okay, here you are, Governor 1255 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 2: Mike Braun, allowing children to starve or allowing elderly not 1256 01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:02,640 Speaker 2: to get care. How do you respond to that? How 1257 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:03,840 Speaker 2: do you think others should. 1258 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,400 Speaker 11: So when it comes to that and their. 1259 01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 6: Unbelievable attempt to take over the affordability issue, and you know, 1260 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,599 Speaker 6: Biden gave us twenty two to twenty three percent over 1261 01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,559 Speaker 6: those last three years, I think that is something that. 1262 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:21,880 Speaker 11: We got to get better at we're flat footed on it. 1263 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:25,400 Speaker 6: But when it comes to this full idea of Democrats 1264 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 6: having any interest in running government more efficiently. 1265 01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:30,760 Speaker 11: It's just not there. 1266 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:32,240 Speaker 3: They, for instance, on. 1267 01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:40,000 Speaker 6: Healthcare, have never been interested in tackling pharma, big hospitals, insurance. 1268 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,840 Speaker 6: That's what I did in my own business seventeen years ago, 1269 01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,679 Speaker 6: became the insurance company because the margin was so thick, 1270 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:49,560 Speaker 6: and then based it on wellness and prevention Tony, not 1271 01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:51,000 Speaker 6: expensive remediation. 1272 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:52,840 Speaker 11: Dems don't care. 1273 01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,760 Speaker 6: They just want more of it without ever getting to 1274 01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:58,519 Speaker 6: the bottom of it. I'm going to try some of 1275 01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 6: those things here in our own state employee plan to 1276 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,080 Speaker 6: make sure there's some skin in the game so you're 1277 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:09,160 Speaker 6: not constantly defaulting to having no interest in what the 1278 01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,519 Speaker 6: cost is. Having some skin in the game, it can 1279 01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,040 Speaker 6: be fixed. But when you're just willing to borrow and 1280 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:18,640 Speaker 6: spend more money because you're only worried about the benefits, 1281 01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:22,160 Speaker 6: that is where you hit the ditch hard. That's why 1282 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 6: you have two trillion dollars in now structural deficits, a 1283 01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:27,839 Speaker 6: lot of it related to healthcare. 1284 01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:30,519 Speaker 2: But I'm going to go. 1285 01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:32,280 Speaker 3: Back just a little bitump. 1286 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:37,519 Speaker 2: Here's Governor Tim Walls, the former vice presidential candidate. And 1287 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,519 Speaker 2: you can imagine how little of a fan I was 1288 01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,839 Speaker 2: of him as a vice presidential candidate in never mind. 1289 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:46,240 Speaker 3: As a governor, this fraud has been taking place. 1290 01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 2: He is touting giving more and more money to people 1291 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,080 Speaker 2: here illegally, people who can't afford this, people who can't 1292 01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 2: afford that. You're seeing more and more and more people 1293 01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,680 Speaker 2: that Minnesota wants to take care of. You see the 1294 01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:01,599 Speaker 2: abuse that has. 1295 01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:04,599 Speaker 3: Taken place, possibly into the billions of dollars. 1296 01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,640 Speaker 2: And there's a real question, Although there's some reports that 1297 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,880 Speaker 2: some payments have been stopped and some internal investigations have 1298 01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:14,240 Speaker 2: taken place, what kind of real investigation, what kind of 1299 01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,480 Speaker 2: real stoppage of these plans is going to happen because politically, 1300 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,080 Speaker 2: people are going to say, well, it's just a political 1301 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:26,679 Speaker 2: right attacking Somali's. So two questions. First, what is there 1302 01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,360 Speaker 2: a specific plan in the state of Indiana that you 1303 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:33,200 Speaker 2: think other red state governors should implement into looking into 1304 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,960 Speaker 2: ensuring that this fraud of fake childcare centers or fake 1305 01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:41,519 Speaker 2: home health care centers, et cetera isn't happening. And what 1306 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:46,000 Speaker 2: do you believe should be the pressure put on governor 1307 01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:50,800 Speaker 2: Walls regarding dealing with the criminal activity that has taken place, 1308 01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,320 Speaker 2: possibly with the wink in the nod. And when I 1309 01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:57,120 Speaker 2: say possibly, I mean for me personally, very probably with 1310 01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 2: the wink in the nod of the political left in 1311 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,000 Speaker 2: the state of Minnesota. 1312 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:06,080 Speaker 6: So his main issue is, even though the Democrats really 1313 01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:08,400 Speaker 6: don't worry about any of this we've been talking about 1314 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:12,840 Speaker 6: until they're in a corner, Senator Ron Johnson is going 1315 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,040 Speaker 6: to do subpoenas to get to the bottom of it. 1316 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,280 Speaker 6: You're going to have guys like Rick Scott from Florida 1317 01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,439 Speaker 6: who turned a purple blue state that was in the 1318 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 6: red financially ten twelve years ago into something that works, 1319 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,080 Speaker 6: costs half of what it costs in New York. They're 1320 01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 6: not going to get by with this. This reached such 1321 01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:35,000 Speaker 6: a profile and Pim Walls. I don't know if he 1322 01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 6: survives or not. That's up to Minnesota's but they want 1323 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,920 Speaker 6: to be kind of the poster child for what government 1324 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 6: looks like when it's abused and doesn't work, emblematic of 1325 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:47,559 Speaker 6: many of the blue states. 1326 01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,559 Speaker 11: The federal government, for sure. 1327 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 6: Some of that issue is with Republicans that have not 1328 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 6: held firm on fiscal responsibility, the appropriators and the neo 1329 01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 6: cons there. I've talked about that before. You're not going 1330 01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,280 Speaker 6: to get by with it because they're going to come 1331 01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:06,320 Speaker 6: at you. It gets worse for him. This doesn't go away. 1332 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 6: In states like ours, we're doing eligibility checks. We're making 1333 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:15,320 Speaker 6: sure if you're on Medicaid, you just don't stay on 1334 01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:19,120 Speaker 6: it without someone checking in every three months to see 1335 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:23,720 Speaker 6: if something has changed. Three forty B pharmacy scam where 1336 01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:29,400 Speaker 6: pharmacies can get actually very very low costs if you're 1337 01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 6: on it and then you jack it up and take 1338 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:35,000 Speaker 6: full markup. You know, the pharmacide's got a lot of 1339 01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,280 Speaker 6: abuse in it. Do a pretty good job making the pill, 1340 01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:41,120 Speaker 6: but PBMs and stuff like three forty B have got 1341 01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:45,120 Speaker 6: to go, and there's no transparency on any of this stuff. 1342 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 6: That's all going to be on steroids here in Indiana, 1343 01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:51,280 Speaker 6: I think in other red states and in blue states 1344 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,760 Speaker 6: if they don't want to be in the laughingstock category 1345 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:56,800 Speaker 6: of what Minnesota is currently in. 1346 01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:00,000 Speaker 2: Before I let you go, Governor Mike Brown of India 1347 01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:04,040 Speaker 2: and mentioning at PBM's pharmacy benefit managers, there's a really 1348 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,720 Speaker 2: deep detailed conversation and that we'll do that another time 1349 01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,960 Speaker 2: before I let you go. Redistricting fails in the state 1350 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,760 Speaker 2: of Indiana. I was in favor of redistracting, and I've 1351 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,120 Speaker 2: argued so you know, I never lie to you, I 1352 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,960 Speaker 2: don't lie to anybody. I think with this was poorly 1353 01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,639 Speaker 2: rolled out from the beginning. I think this was something 1354 01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:27,080 Speaker 2: that should have had much more clarity and much more focus, 1355 01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:29,519 Speaker 2: and I don't believe that it was there. Then there 1356 01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 2: was the conversation of people being primary to that maybe 1357 01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:35,720 Speaker 2: not being primaried. What do you believe is the resultant 1358 01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:40,800 Speaker 2: of not passing redistricting in the state of Indiana. Are 1359 01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 2: we about to see a state that fails to do 1360 01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,880 Speaker 2: what the president wants lose federal funding? 1361 01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 11: Don't think so. 1362 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:54,400 Speaker 6: My relationship, the state's relationship with the administration prior to 1363 01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:57,160 Speaker 6: that was, if not the best, one of the best 1364 01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:01,920 Speaker 6: in the country. I think when leadership decided to die 1365 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,040 Speaker 6: on that hill, when eighty percent of Republicans and conservatives 1366 01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:09,760 Speaker 6: not to mention our congressional delegation, not to mention every 1367 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:11,960 Speaker 6: other state even if they didn't want to do it, 1368 01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,920 Speaker 6: and who knows how it all works through the courts, 1369 01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 6: I think that was you know, putting your thumb in 1370 01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 6: the face of the administration. Most Republicans and Conservatives in 1371 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:28,120 Speaker 6: the state. I think that'll be something for the Senate leadership, 1372 01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:29,880 Speaker 6: especially to figure out. 1373 01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:30,720 Speaker 11: How that plays out. 1374 01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:33,200 Speaker 6: And all I can tell you is when I came in, 1375 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 6: they give you Senate Bill one, which was supposed to 1376 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:41,640 Speaker 6: be some significant property tax reform, gutted it completely. 1377 01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,360 Speaker 11: We did call back, mostly through the. 1378 01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 6: House's efforts to give reasonable reform, not what many of 1379 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 6: us wanted, but it's indicative they threw. 1380 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:55,920 Speaker 11: Cold water on healthcare reform. All that got watered down. 1381 01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:58,880 Speaker 11: It was like pulling teeth to get with. 1382 01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,320 Speaker 6: Them on doing anything that was going to distinguish as 1383 01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:04,840 Speaker 6: as the state, This to me was a little bit 1384 01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,679 Speaker 6: similar to that. We'll still get stuff done. 1385 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:09,439 Speaker 11: The low hanging fruit will. 1386 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:13,640 Speaker 6: Pick reorganized state government. We're running it so much more efficiently. 1387 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,920 Speaker 6: I want to end with this. On my end, we 1388 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:20,560 Speaker 6: just got tauted as the strongest economy in the Midwest 1389 01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:24,320 Speaker 6: GDP growing at twice the rate of Illinois and Ohio, 1390 01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 6: three times Kentucky, six times that of Michigan, and already 1391 01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 6: on the IEDC. We're incentivizing jobs, spending one third what 1392 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:39,920 Speaker 6: the prior administration did, and we're getting wages raised from 1393 01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:40,599 Speaker 6: thirty six. 1394 01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:41,519 Speaker 11: To forty one bucks. 1395 01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,440 Speaker 6: Kind of all under the radar, shaping up our state agencies, 1396 01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:48,000 Speaker 6: doing what I can through the executive branch. 1397 01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:50,879 Speaker 11: I'd ask the Senate to be a little bit more. 1398 01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:56,360 Speaker 6: Energized forthcoming on policy stuff, healthcare, all. 1399 01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:57,559 Speaker 11: The things we've been talking about. 1400 01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 2: That is a pivot from what happened to the redistricting 1401 01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:03,760 Speaker 2: to look how much we're paying people. Sir, that was 1402 01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 2: that was professionally done, but we're gonna I don't think 1403 01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:12,240 Speaker 2: we're done with the redistricting conversation by longshot Governor Mike Brown, 1404 01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 2: the governor of Indiana. I appreciate you taking the time 1405 01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:17,920 Speaker 2: to be whether that's more coming up. I'm Tony Katz. 1406 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:19,280 Speaker 2: This is Tony Kats today. 1407 01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:22,439 Speaker 10: You know, I have no problem with doing don't anticipate it. 1408 01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,320 Speaker 10: Would like to get the deal done and not necessarily 1409 01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:28,880 Speaker 10: have to go. I've offered to go and speak to 1410 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,280 Speaker 10: their parliament, and you know, if that would help. I 1411 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,280 Speaker 10: don't know that would help. I think it would probably help, 1412 01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,320 Speaker 10: but I don't even know if that's so welcome. Yeah, no, 1413 01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:40,000 Speaker 10: I know, so I'm not sure that it would be 1414 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:44,479 Speaker 10: really necessary. But if it would help save twenty five 1415 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:45,479 Speaker 10: thousand lives. 1416 01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,719 Speaker 8: A month, or whatever it may be, I would certainly 1417 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:48,680 Speaker 8: be willing to do that. 1418 01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:53,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, they want you in Ukraine, mister President. What else 1419 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,519 Speaker 2: was vatimers Lensky gonna say? He shows up tomorrow a 1420 01:29:56,560 --> 01:30:00,400 Speaker 2: logo on Sunday, and once again we're talking thinking about 1421 01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:03,599 Speaker 2: the possibility of peace. The difference here, if we're going 1422 01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:07,599 Speaker 2: to argue there is one, is that Zelenski knows he's 1423 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:10,960 Speaker 2: given up land. This is over Tony Katz, Tony Kats today. 1424 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:12,439 Speaker 2: Good to be here, Good to be with you, good 1425 01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:15,800 Speaker 2: to be back. Everybody find everything at Tony kats dot com. 1426 01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:20,120 Speaker 2: He's giving up land. The issue is is that what 1427 01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:23,600 Speaker 2: the Russians have decided is that the Americans are not 1428 01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:26,720 Speaker 2: gonna come to their aid. Europe is not going to 1429 01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,680 Speaker 2: put troops on the ground. We want everything, and we're 1430 01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 2: not gonna stop killing these people until we get everything. 1431 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:34,920 Speaker 2: And since you won't fight us, we're gonna keep killing 1432 01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:39,280 Speaker 2: these people until we get everything. That's what's happening. That's 1433 01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:42,719 Speaker 2: the Russian calculus. But all this talk from President Trump, 1434 01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:47,439 Speaker 2: you know, Putin is very sympathetic to Ukrainians and wants 1435 01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:49,439 Speaker 2: the Ukrainians to do well. Just stop it. 1436 01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 3: It's just silly, it's nonsense. We don't need to hear it. 1437 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,440 Speaker 2: If those platitudes work, you know in the private conversations, 1438 01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:57,880 Speaker 2: do them. 1439 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 3: But you make yourself look silly. 1440 01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:05,760 Speaker 2: When you engage those things. Mister President, again, we're talking 1441 01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,599 Speaker 2: about a piece deal. Listen, I don't know what's going 1442 01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:12,200 Speaker 2: to happen. I don't know what's going to happen. Ukraine 1443 01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:16,040 Speaker 2: must realize that they are out of options because they're 1444 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:17,920 Speaker 2: accepting of a whole bunch of things. 1445 01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:19,679 Speaker 3: Where that final border. 1446 01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:21,800 Speaker 2: Is gonna be wherever it is. The Russians will want 1447 01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:25,240 Speaker 2: another two feet because that's the Russian way. So no, 1448 01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:30,000 Speaker 2: this ain't over. Meanwhile, Russia continues to bomb, bombing directly 1449 01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:35,320 Speaker 2: on Kiev, and this goes on, and Russia's getting rewarded 1450 01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:38,600 Speaker 2: for the attack, and we need to discuss what that 1451 01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:40,760 Speaker 2: means for the future and keep it here. This is 1452 01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 2: Tony kats today. Dear Lord, did the Wall Street Journal 1453 01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:54,240 Speaker 2: butcher this Tony Katz. Tony Katz today got three more 1454 01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:57,439 Speaker 2: things for you. Stories nobody else is talking about, and 1455 01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:59,280 Speaker 2: that I think have to be in the mix. It 1456 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,519 Speaker 2: was the Wall Street Journal, which look, sometimes they do 1457 01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:06,320 Speaker 2: the job. Sometimes they say, hey, look here's Trump drawing 1458 01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:09,560 Speaker 2: a picture to Jeffrey Epstein that's meant to look like 1459 01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 2: a naked woman. 1460 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 3: Stop it. 1461 01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:18,240 Speaker 2: You all sound crazy, crazy, the desire, the desperation to 1462 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:21,040 Speaker 2: tie Trump to Epstein. Of course, trumpk neew Epstein. Of 1463 01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:23,760 Speaker 2: course there's photos of him. There's no proof Trump was 1464 01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:27,480 Speaker 2: on the island. There's no proof Trump did anything inappropriate 1465 01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,800 Speaker 2: with anybody underage. And it very much doesn't seem like 1466 01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:34,160 Speaker 2: his style in the slightest.

These people are dangerous, though 1484 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:24,000 Speaker 3: I'm fully aware of them.

But when you read the headline. 1494 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:03,960 Speaker 2: Iran eases social rules amid crises, but crushes descent, it 1495 01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,720 Speaker 2: would make you think, Okay, they're not paying attention so 1496 01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:11,200 Speaker 2: much to these things that they used to regarding religious fundamentalism. 1497 01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,160 Speaker 3: But if there is a protest, they put an end 1498 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:14,799 Speaker 3: to the protest. 1499 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,600 Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no, no no no no. 1500 01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:23,000 Speaker 3: Let's go into the story right first paragraph. 1501 01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 2: Live music is blaring. 1502 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:25,719 Speaker 3: On the streets of Tehran. 1503 01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:28,639 Speaker 2: Women are ditching their mandatory hit jobs, and young people 1504 01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,880 Speaker 2: are dancing in cafes as authorities allow a degree of 1505 01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:36,160 Speaker 2: social freedom, freedom not seen since the Islamic Revolution of 1506 01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:41,320 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine the second paragraph. At the same time, however, 1507 01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:45,080 Speaker 2: the government is carrying out a widespread crackdown on dissonance 1508 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:48,599 Speaker 2: and has executed more people this year than in nearly 1509 01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:55,920 Speaker 2: four decades.

Guys, 1516 01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,080 Speaker 3: who in the hell would ever be on the side 1517 01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:27,560 Speaker 3: of the Iranians? 1518 01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,120 Speaker 2: Israel's your probably because it's always, of course bringing it 1519 01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:35,360 Speaker 2: back to Israel. Look who they are, Look at what 1520 01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,680 Speaker 2: they do.

I read 1522 01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:45,160 Speaker 2: this story and I'm like, you know what, who's got 1523 01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:50,040 Speaker 2: a point? These people cannot be reasoned with or dealt with. 1524 01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:55,280 Speaker 2: This entire regime has to go. Make Iran Persia again, 1525 01:35:57,080 --> 01:36:01,400 Speaker 2: a story no one is talking about. By the way, Tehran, 1526 01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,240 Speaker 2: which is the capital of Iran, running out of water. 1527 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:08,679 Speaker 2: Power shortages are happening everywhere. Economic crisis because of the inflation, 1528 01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:14,479 Speaker 2: the the what do you call the sanctions and everything else. Yeah, yeah, 1529 01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:16,880 Speaker 2: So what's the answer. We'll let the people dance a 1530 01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:20,120 Speaker 2: little bit and they won't notice their life sucks. The 1531 01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:22,960 Speaker 2: issue is is that Persians or Ananians have always noticed 1532 01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:23,679 Speaker 2: that their life sucks. 1533 01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:24,960 Speaker 3: They just can't do anything about it. 1534 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:29,240 Speaker 2: They need some help, and just like you know, it's 1535 01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:31,519 Speaker 2: just it's the Ukraine conversation all over again. 1536 01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 3: Do we want to be the people who help? And 1537 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:34,400 Speaker 3: how do we want to help? 1538 01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:34,840 Speaker 6: That's it. 1539 01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,720 Speaker 2: These are the only questions. And if we don't, what 1540 01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:42,840 Speaker 2: happens if somebody else does? Which is I mean gonna 1541 01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:44,879 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get yelled at for Tony, are you promoting 1542 01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:49,200 Speaker 2: a neo con foreign policy coming back? And I'm gonna 1543 01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:52,200 Speaker 2: say the answer is, I don't know if I'm promoting it. 1544 01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,760 Speaker 2: I am asking now that we haven't done it, like 1545 01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:59,519 Speaker 2: for example, in Ukraine, what is the result and do 1546 01:36:59,600 --> 01:36:59,920 Speaker 2: we like it? 1547 01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,680 Speaker 3: If we don't do it in Iran, what is the 1548 01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:05,280 Speaker 3: result and will we like it? 1549 01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:10,160 Speaker 2: So the people who just you know, crap all over 1550 01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 2: the neok thing, Okay, yeah, yeah, sure, great, fine, But 1551 01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:17,839 Speaker 2: now now we see the result of not being involved 1552 01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:19,680 Speaker 2: this way or that way or the other way, are 1553 01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:20,240 Speaker 2: we good. 1554 01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:20,880 Speaker 3: Or not good with it? 1555 01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:23,519 Speaker 2: I think that's isn't that logical? It wouldn't that be 1556 01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:26,400 Speaker 2: part of the testing. We didn't do it this way, 1557 01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:27,320 Speaker 2: we did it the other way. 1558 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:27,840 Speaker 11: We didn't do it. 1559 01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:30,679 Speaker 2: You know, it's like Gabe testing. I'm not even sure 1560 01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:33,920 Speaker 2: if that's the best example. We didn't do it this way, 1561 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,640 Speaker 2: we did it another way. Now doing it the other 1562 01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,080 Speaker 2: way it didn't work out better for us, And it's 1563 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:43,559 Speaker 2: a rational question to ask. In Los Angeles, Los Angeles 1564 01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:48,000 Speaker 2: Times reporting that the authors of the fire report from 1565 01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:52,080 Speaker 2: the LAFD about the Palisades fire, you know, the one 1566 01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:54,880 Speaker 2: that took all the homes, that California does not allow 1567 01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,679 Speaker 2: us to be rebuilt. They're not allowing any rebuilding in California. 1568 01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:01,799 Speaker 2: These people are awful Avenuesom is a low life. Karen 1569 01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:04,439 Speaker 2: Bass is a lowlife. They're not going to allow these 1570 01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:09,000 Speaker 2: people to rebuild. No, no, no, no, no, you lose 1571 01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:13,280 Speaker 2: your place for forever. Sorry, sucker, your land is not yours. 1572 01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:16,960 Speaker 2: And of course they allowed the fire to happen, they 1573 01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,320 Speaker 2: allowed the fire to grow. They weren't They didn't have 1574 01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:22,519 Speaker 2: anybody in place who could actually do anything that had 1575 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:26,720 Speaker 2: an inept fire leadership. That was hired much more on 1576 01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:29,640 Speaker 2: DEI than they were on anything else. Oh, people are 1577 01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:33,240 Speaker 2: gonna yell at me. How dare you sorry? It's just factual, 1578 01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:39,639 Speaker 2: it's factual. You hired incompetent people. The same thing happened 1579 01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:45,599 Speaker 2: in Hawaii for Leahina. Yeah, high, you hire incompetence because 1580 01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:48,800 Speaker 2: you hire a progressive code and not to merit, and 1581 01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:55,200 Speaker 2: you will get garbage proving that this DEI, this wokeness, 1582 01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:59,639 Speaker 2: it's it's the the The terrible outcome is not a bug, 1583 01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 2: it's a feature. It's the only thing that can come. Well, 1584 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:08,240 Speaker 2: the people were professionals, did a report and they were 1585 01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:10,720 Speaker 2: like a lot of people to blame a lot of 1586 01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:14,200 Speaker 2: things to blame in these fires that killed twelve people, 1587 01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:18,719 Speaker 2: the thousands of homes destroyed, and what happened. The authors 1588 01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:20,880 Speaker 2: are now saying, yeah, we can't be a part of 1589 01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:26,880 Speaker 2: this Battalion Chief Kenneth Cook, emailing the fire chief and 1590 01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:32,160 Speaker 2: other LAFD officials, saying, having reviewed the revised version submitted 1591 01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:35,240 Speaker 2: by your office, I must respectfully decline to endorse it. 1592 01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:39,440 Speaker 2: In its current form. The document has undergone substantial modifications. 1593 01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:42,840 Speaker 2: It contained significant deletions of information that, in some instances 1594 01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:51,680 Speaker 2: alter the conclusions originally presented. Translation, here's the report leadership 1595 01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:56,280 Speaker 2: of everything that went wrong in the Palisades fires, and 1596 01:39:56,479 --> 01:39:59,320 Speaker 2: who is to blame? And the leadership said, oh, well, 1597 01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:00,920 Speaker 2: we can't blame the these people. Oh we can't blame 1598 01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:01,880 Speaker 2: those people. Oh no, we're good. 1599 01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:02,439 Speaker 3: Called racist. 1600 01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:04,360 Speaker 2: Oh no, we're good called sexist. Oh no, we'll get sued. 1601 01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:08,160 Speaker 2: Let's uh, let's just chage the whole report around and 1602 01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:11,880 Speaker 2: basically the thrust of the report will be oopsie, and 1603 01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:12,519 Speaker 2: that'll be it. 1604 01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:15,360 Speaker 3: They watered you. 1605 01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 2: You have seen this so many times and in so 1606 01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:21,440 Speaker 2: many ways and in so many places, you're not even surprised. 1607 01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:26,080 Speaker 2: They're so blatant and bold about it. They rewrote the 1608 01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:32,479 Speaker 2: report the after action review. They rewrote it. And so 1609 01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:37,599 Speaker 2: Ken Cook, who's the battalion chief who is the author 1610 01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:40,519 Speaker 2: of the reporter, said yeah, I can't endorse this. 1611 01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:42,439 Speaker 11: No no no, no no no, no, no no no. 1612 01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:47,400 Speaker 2: I strongly urge you, he wrote, to reconsider publishing the 1613 01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:50,360 Speaker 2: report as it stands. I recommend that we reconvene with 1614 01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:54,080 Speaker 2: the City Attorney's office to review their notes and collaboratively 1615 01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:58,760 Speaker 2: collaboratively finalize the version of that holds both accuracy and professionalism. 1616 01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:02,920 Speaker 2: Last as the liaison to the Governor's process, which is 1617 01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:07,640 Speaker 2: independently compiling the same information, I am concerned that substantial 1618 01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:11,040 Speaker 2: disparities may exist between the two reports. The Governor's report 1619 01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:13,680 Speaker 2: is currently in the publishing phase and is expected to 1620 01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:17,920 Speaker 2: be released later this month. I recommend utilizing that report 1621 01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,240 Speaker 2: as a reference, as it will provide an objective and 1622 01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:26,080 Speaker 2: unbiased accounts. Translation, guys, I did this over here too, 1623 01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:29,080 Speaker 2: and they're gonna publish the report and you're gonna look 1624 01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:32,479 Speaker 2: like total morons. Don't look like morons, and don't make 1625 01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,560 Speaker 2: me look like a moron. I'm not gonna sign on 1626 01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:40,280 Speaker 2: to that. How much does the left hate you? In 1627 01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:44,360 Speaker 2: every way?

No one 1641 01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:19,840 Speaker 2: is shocked, you know what it is. I mean, they're 1642 01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:22,400 Speaker 2: just going to blame anything except their own incompetence, their 1643 01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:23,000 Speaker 2: own failures. 1644 01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:23,800 Speaker 3: No one's going to. 1645 01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:29,639 Speaker 2: Take responsibility, no one. It will all be someone else's fault. 1646 01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:35,559 Speaker 2: These people are just terrible. And then there's Scott Beson 1647 01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:41,280 Speaker 2: not terrible, and Scott Bessen is now telling everybody get 1648 01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:47,040 Speaker 2: ready for the giants refund that is coming your way. 1649 01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:50,360 Speaker 12: Oh, working Americans. I also had the honor of being 1650 01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:54,360 Speaker 12: the IRS Commissioner, and I can see that we're going 1651 01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,800 Speaker 12: to have a gigantic refund here in the first quarter 1652 01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:02,240 Speaker 12: because no one changed They're working Americans do not change 1653 01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:06,840 Speaker 12: their withholding. So I think households could see, depending on 1654 01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:10,479 Speaker 12: the number of workers one thousand and two thousand dollars refunds, 1655 01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:14,519 Speaker 12: they will change their withholding schedule at the beginning of 1656 01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:18,439 Speaker 12: the year, and they will get an automatic increase in 1657 01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:21,080 Speaker 12: real wages.
