4
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: but at least with Japan, I mean ten percent with Japan.

13
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

14
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: This is a trade deal, but it's more than just

15
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: about trade.

16
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: This is much more than that.

17
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: This is a story about power and about uh dealing

18
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: with the hegemony of China. And now we're gonna get

19
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: more into this because there's a lot here and it's.

20
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 3: Gonna take more than a day.

21
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: We're talking about how does one have control over navigable waters.

22
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: We're talking about how one deals with our friends here,

23
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: there and everywhere. This story is a large scale one,

24
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: but where nine and forty two billion of the shutdown,

25
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: and as we have seen, Republicans are united in saying,

26
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 2: these Democrats won't vote for a continuing resolution, and look

27
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: at how absolutely callous they are about everything.

28
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: That thing sitting at the desk that funds the government

29
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: doesn't have a single new Republican policy in it, it

30
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: doesn't have a single partisan policy writer. It simply extends

31
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: current government funding. But Democrats have said no to that

32
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: now twelve times. We offered them a chance to continue

33
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: the bipartisan appropriations process, starting with the Defense Appropriations Bill,

34
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: a bill that passed out of the committee by a

35
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 4: big bipartisan vote of twenty six to three, but Democrats

36
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: said no to that too, they didn't want to lose

37
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: leverage in the shutdown. Then last week we offered up

38
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: a bill to pay any federal employee who is working

39
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: during the shutdown, including everybody here, and once again Democrats

40
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 4: said no, mister President, I don't know what Democrats are

41
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 4: holding out for.

42
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: Do Democrats think that.

43
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: We're suddenly going to vote for their partisans r which,

44
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: by the way, would spend an additional one and a

45
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: half trillion dollars to keep the government open until the

46
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: end of this week.

47
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: That's our alternative. He's got a point.

48
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: What of the Democrats put up accept things that simply

49
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: are untenable.

50
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: They are just not things that are going to be.

51
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: Accepted from the word go, would you sign a continuing

52
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: resolution that lasts for a week.

53
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: What's weird is based on where we are right now.

54
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: The Democrats voted for the continuing resolution, we'd be funded

55
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: through November twenty first, we'd have three weeks before we

56
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: were doing all of this again. It's maddening. I have

57
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: stated many times before that I don't think anybody is

58
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: paying attention to what is the word I'm looking for?

59
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: This shutdown, That's the word I'm looking for.

60
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: I don't think.

61
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: Anybody's paying attention to the shutdown at all. I don't

62
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: think it mattered to anybody in the slightest. That was

63
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 2: until people really started not getting paid. And right now

64
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: we are at the place where people are not getting paid.

65
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: And this is where the increases, this is where.

66
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: You see the push from I would argue both sides. Democrats, however,

67
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: don't seem to have anything they can really connect with.

68
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: Nothing is landing when it comes to.

69
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: Their methodology, their philosophy, Nothing is hitting well.

70
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: With Americans.

71
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: Republicans are able to push back on a myriad of subjects,

72
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: including this. It was Sean Duffy once again, Transportation Secretary saying, Hey,

73
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: you know, right now, air traffic controllers are getting screwed

74
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: with their pants on.

75
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: That's kind of what he's saying.

76
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 5: Airport for remarks from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who is

77
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 5: speaking on how the ongoing government shutdown is affecting travel

78
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 5: and air traffic controllers. This is live coverage here on

79
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 5: Sea Spend three.

80
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 3: Gotta love Sea Spend.

81
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 6: But they're the many women who work in their towers

82
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 6: to make sure there are fights are.

83
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 7: On time, there are flights are delay and your flights

84
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 7: are safe.

85
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 6: So I wanted to have a chance to see a

86
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 6: few of the men and women who are getting paid today,

87
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 6: the many women who rely on your paychecks in the

88
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 6: federal government to support their families. Have to pay their

89
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 6: car payments, to pay their rents, to pay for gas

90
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 6: in their vehicles, to get into work, put food and puts.

91
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: Food on the table. Yesterday had a controller.

92
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 6: Who talked to me about his nine year old ten

93
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 6: year old daughter who made the traveling a volleyball team

94
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 6: and I've been in this to It's an honor.

95
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 7: When your child makes the traveling team, but.

96
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 3: With that comes a cost. You have to pay to

97
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: be part of that seat. And he had to talk to.

98
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 7: His nine year old daughter about her not being able

99
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 7: to join that team because he had to preserve and

100
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 7: reserve his money because he thought that this day would

101
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,559
Speaker 7: come the fact that he wasn't going to get paid

102
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 7: for his work as an air traffic controller.

103
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: So even with a little bit of microphone issues there,

104
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: that's a story from Sean Duffy that's going to connect

105
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: and Democrats don't have this story. Air traffic controller can't

106
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: allow his daughter to join the travel volleyball team.

107
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: Because shutdown doesn't have the money.

108
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: Now, I think a lot of people can ask the

109
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: question and you tell me you have no reserves, you

110
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: tell me you really live paycheck to paycheck. Allow me

111
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: for a moment, A not the subject, and B yes,

112
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I agree with that. I'm not saying

113
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: there isn't a massive issue involved here, but lots of

114
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: people do indeed live paycheck to paycheck. It is very

115
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: relatable and it is all the Democrats, all of them,

116
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: because they're the ones.

117
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: Who are keeping this from happening. They're the ones doing

118
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: it now.

119
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: Is there a way? Is there a place? Is there

120
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: a possibility of the Democrats turning this around? I'm going

121
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: to put forward a theory here.

122
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: Are you ready? Nope, there's no turning this around.

123
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: The only way they turn this around is if Republicans

124
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: cave and Trump has a meeting and agrees to extend

125
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: the Obamacare subsidies.

126
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: Why would they do such a thing.

127
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: Well, they would do such a thing because they don't

128
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: want to nuke the filluster, which is what Democrats desperately

129
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: want them to do, so they can have that opportunity

130
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: if and when they ever get power again. And I

131
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: only hope it's if, but not actually a win. It

132
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: is a rare moment where the Republicans are able to

133
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: utilize Democrat tactics against them. Look at these people who

134
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: can't afford this, Look at these people who have to

135
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: sacrifice because they're protecting their families, the Look at what

136
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: you're doing to them. Look at what Chuck Schumer's doing

137
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: to them. Look at the right, Well it would be

138
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. Look at what Mike Johnson's doing. Look at

139
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: what John Thunho's doing. Look at what these evil Republicans

140
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: are doing. Republicans are now doing that to Democrats, and

141
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: it's got to be weird for them.

142
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: Yet they're Democrats.

143
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: If they can do anything, they know how to say

144
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: screw it and screw you, which is what they're doing.

145
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: So the shutdown continues. But this is not even the

146
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,239
Speaker 2: biggest story.

147
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: Of the day.

148
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: The biggest story of the day is that everything you

149
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: knew to be true about Joe Biden not running this

150
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: country is true in every single way. Keep it here.

Speaker 2: according to him. Oh things are things are dangerous because

00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: be clear about this. You failed us in every possible way.

162
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 2: You lied to us four years. You screamed about needing

163
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: a legislation give me the tools.

164
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: You said it was all a lie.

165
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: You were just not willing because you believed more in

166
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: your power and satisfying some DC brethren. Then you did

167
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: care about the men and women who live in America,

168
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: the boys and girls who play in America dying a

169
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: fentanyl You didn't give a damn. You didn't care. You

170
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: were like drugs. What's problem with drugs? Hunter seems to

171
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: like them? No, no, no, you deserve every bit of

172
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: derision you get, and I am only getting warmed up.

173
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: You talk to us about the dark days. You told

174
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: us that inflation was transitory. You told us the economy

175
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: was great. You gave us the Inflation Reduction Act. You

176
00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 2: increased and exacerbated the inflation issue. I agree, man, and

177
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of tariffs at all or in

178
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: any way. But Trump is at least selling some things

179
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: out there, being the greatest salesman we've got for Boeing.

180
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: I don't even know if Boeing dang well deserves it.

181
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: It's not like they can.

182
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: Get us into space.

183
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: You want to talk about the disaster that is the

184
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: seven thirty seven Max.

185
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: Please, please, please, please please.

186
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: This is ugly, just from a pr standpoint if you

187
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 2: want to argue that all the issues aren't specifically the

188
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: cause of coming from Boeing itself. The dark days, every

189
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: day your administration told us through your proxies that we

190
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: are terrible racists. And now we're doing a way with

191
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: the DEI bigots who'd like to scream that at us

192
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: from their positions of power, taking away their positions, and.

193
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: Now they can scream all they want. They just have

194
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 3: no power over us.

195
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: And we could turn off the mic, actually turned down

196
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: the speakers, they could still have a mic. The dark days.

197
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: I will put forth to you that the nation has

198
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: work ahead of it. And I will put forth to you,

199
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, right in front of your absolutely terrible life

200
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: and your terrible children, you brought this upon us, not solely.

201
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: You had help great number of people brought upon the

202
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: work that we now have to sift through. But don't

203
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: think that somehow you were above it all, or that

204
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: your name brought any greatness to our nation. Your name

205
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: did not inspire Joe. No one thinks of the name Biden,

206
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: and they say, ah, those were the days. You know

207
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: what they think of when they hear the name Biden.

208
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: This one big sniff, whether it's you or your son.

209
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: And when they think the name Joe Biden, they don't

210
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: think doctor Joe Biden, they think, my god, how power

211
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: hungry was this woman to know that her husband was

212
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: absolutely mentally incapable of running the country.

213
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: And kept him there.

214
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: Anyway, Your wife isn't some blessing to education. She's a

215
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: hater of her nation. What do we think, Joe Biden,

216
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: of these dark days? We've got work ahead of us,

217
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: but you didn't help make it any easier.

218
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: You made it worse.

219
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: Let that be your legacy, and let it also be

220
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: said that it is very very clear, as the report

221
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: shows from House Republicans that indeed the utilization of the

222
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: auto pen was happening constantly and consistently.

223
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: You could argue.

224
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: That this is showing, well, this doesn't have any concrete information.

225
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: I think it offers up the need for a concrete investigation.

226
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: And near A Tandon and the rest this cabal that was.

227
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: Running the country instead of Joe Biden, they need to

228
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: be investigated. And Biden may at any time say I

229
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: was aware of what was going on.

230
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: With the country.

231
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: I was the run running the show, and any claim

232
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: to the otherwise is ridiculous and false. Those are the

233
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: exact words he used. Exact words he used. Democrats on

234
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: the House Oversight Committee denounced the probe as a distraction and.

235
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: A waste of time.

236
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: And this is why Republicans should triple down on it,

237
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: give it all the funding it needs, and look into

238
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: who was running the country when Joe Biden clearly wasn't.

239
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: Because Joe Biden clearly wasn't. He wasn't running the country.

240
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: This much is obvious. He was not capable and he

241
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: was not able. The one hundred page report, according to

242
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: the Speaker Mike Johnson, saying that it could have major

243
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: implications for the legality of Joe Biden's actions, so much

244
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: so that the Speaker said that everything that Joe Biden

245
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: did with the autopen is that not playing or just

246
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: not for me. Ah, that stinks right there, because it

247
00:16:53,880 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: is playing. I'll fix it. The House also continues, right,

248
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: says Speaker Johnson. The House also continues to carry out

249
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: its essential oversight duties. And you'll be reporting on this

250
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: all day. But the Oversight Chairman James Comer, released a

251
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: blockbuster report now on the Biden Autopen presidency. And this

252
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 2: report includes forty seven hours worth of transcripts and testimony

253
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: revealing that every executive action signed by the Auto pen

254
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: without written authorization for President Biden should be voided. This

255
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: is an unprecedented situation in American politics and government. The

256
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: actions of President Biden simply were not all his own actions,

257
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: and there are major implications that, including all pardons that

258
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: he signed. But don't get me started. It literally said,

259
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: but don't get me started. It doesn't matter to me

260
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: how Democrats scream. They scream about everything they believe that

261
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: they're decent and everything that you are looking at it somehow,

262
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: Why are you looking at that?

263
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: Democrats say, look what you've just done.

264
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: And when you say, hey, what about this, they say,

265
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: why you always look at me?

266
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: Why are you so obsessed with Nate?

267
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: You have to start with the understanding that you can't

268
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: pay them any mind. You can't worry about whether the

269
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 2: Democratic Party is happy or not. You can't worry about

270
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: whether a Democrat Democrat is caterwauling or screaming or crying

271
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 2: or moaning, moaning, cavetching, whatever it is.

272
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: Do you when you sit.

273
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: Alone with your thoughts the end of the day, when

274
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 2: you tucked in your kids, and you kissed your spouse

275
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: good night, and it's just you and your mind. Do

276
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: you believe that Joe Biden was running the country for

277
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: the last year of the presidency? Do you believe that

278
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: Joe Biden was running the country from the time you

279
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 2: saw him debate Donald Trump to when Donald Trump was

280
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: inaugurated on January twentieth?

281
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: And if the.

282
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: Answer is yes, I can't help you. If the answer

283
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: is honest, then you should be in favor of investigations

284
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: into who was running the country.

285
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: And who needs to go to jail. It is that simple.

286
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: This is Tony Katz today.

287
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: So what is the story of this couple that like,

288
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 2: went to a restaurant, had sex in the restaurant, then

289
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 2: robbed the restaurant.

290
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: I think that most people listen to that story.

291
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: And said, huh, that's uh, that's not I don't know

292
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: that that's it's not dining dash. I don't know, I

293
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: don't know what to call that. But that needs a name.

294
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 2: Sex in the restaurant than rob the restaurant. That needs

295
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: a name for sure. Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today, good

Speaker 2: of Barry Weiss. As we discussed part of this yesterday.

299
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: It keeps growing, does this story? The story keeps growing

300
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: because the move is on to remake sixty Minutes, to

301
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: remake CBS News.

302
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 3: And she's looking to hire.

303
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: Is Barry Weiss, that's her name, Barry Weiss looking to

Speaker 2: hire Brettbaar and Scott Jennings Brettbear, Fox News, Scott Jennings

305
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: at CNN. You know the story of Barry Weiss. She

306
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: was reported the New York Times, The New York Times

307
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: engaged in ideological trafficking.

308
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 3: That is my term.

309
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: I have never heard anybody say that but me, But

310
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: that's exactly what it is they do. It would much

311
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: more than just engaging in a narrative. It's trafficking. They

312
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: traffic ideologies and it should be treated like anybody who

313
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: does drug trafficking or human trafficking or anything else. It

314
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: is absolutely abusive stuff and that's what these so called

315
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 2: reporters do.

Speaker 3: She saw this and said, I don't want to be

317
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: any part of this.

318
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 2: She actually employed a concept that David Mammott pushed forward

319
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: when he wrote the book The Secret Knowledge, where it's

320
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: this idea of progressives believe they.

321
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 3: Know something and you can't know it, but they know it.

322
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: What they could do is spoon feed it to you.

323
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: A little bit at the time and then pat you

324
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 2: on the head. But I'll never be able to fully understand.

325
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: Only they can understand it. She started the Free Press.

326
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 2: People were very interested in actual reporting. The success so

327
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: great that she sold to Paramount Skydounce, which purchased a

328
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: paramount for one hundred and fifty million dollars, and now

329
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: she runs CBS News. John Dickerson is leaving one of

330
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 2: the anchors there. John Dickerson is leaving some people and

331
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: on the left store upset about this. That's how I

332
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: know this is all good. I don't know if I

333
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: would consider John Dickerson the worst offender on the idea

334
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 2: of ideological trafficking. But if you want to leave as

335
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 2: opposed to fight for your job because there is a

336
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: new sheriff in town who has a different standard, one

337
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: that is actually based on journalism. Now note it's not

338
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: based on conservatism, because she's not a conservative. Barry Weiss

339
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: isn't a conservative. Barry Weiss's he's never been a conservative.

340
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: Barry Weiss is never going to be a conservative as

341
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 2: far as I know. But she is looking to make changes.

342
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: And one of the places she's looking as the head

343
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: of CBS News she is the news editor in chief,

344
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: is sixty minutes. She might very well remove some of

345
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: the Leslie Stall types out of sixty minutes, removing Bill Whittaker,

346
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: removing Scott Pelly, and replacing them with people who are

347
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: not trafficking ideology but actually engaged in journalism. What's wrong

348
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 2: with that? By the way, Scott Pelly is sixty eight.

349
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: Matt Whittaker is seventy four. Maybe there's a reason one

350
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 2: should bring in new people.

351
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 3: It's a visual medium.

352
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: Maybe younger would be better, fifty sixties at least.

353
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 3: And remember Barry White is forty one. Verry forty one.

354
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: Different view of the the of the world, for sure,

355
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: different view of how people view things, for sure. The

356
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: left is infuriated by this. And once again allow me

357
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: to tell you when the left is infuriated, good because

358
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: they don't believe what we believe. We just said that

359
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: Barry weiss Wiss is not a conservative, and you know

360
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: what we said. I'm a conservative. I've never been to

361
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: really anything, but even before I understood what I was.

362
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: As I started to understand the things that moved me,

363
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: I understood that I was a conservative, not a Republican.

364
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: I wasn't a libertarian. I thought, you know, I leaned

365
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: that way for a while, said no, no, no, no, there are

366
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: some things here that are really truly difference makers. When

367
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: populism came, came a call and came a knock, and

368
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not a populist. I don't want to

369
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: be angry with these people. I'm gonna need some of

370
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: these people. I just don't agree with a great number

371
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: of things. So I am what I am, and I

372
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 2: say about Barry Weiss's leading CBS News good because we.

373
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: Are interested in news. We're interested in the truth.

374
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: We're interested in the stories and being able to rely

375
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: on the data presented to us, so we can then

376
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: utilize that and say, Okay, here's what they said about this. Now,

377
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 2: why does that compare to this? How does this add

378
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: to this? What about this story over here? We do

379
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: not want to be fed a line of nonsense and

380
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: we never get to what the story is. It's imperative

381
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: that we have people who are not engaged in idologically trafficking.

382
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: We say, good, to Barry Weiss. The left says, how

383
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: dare Barry Weiss? And that's the difference. They're not opposed

384
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: to the truth being told. Wait, I take that back.

385
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: They're opposed to the truth being told.

386
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 3: We're not.

387
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: So they oppose Barry Weiss and we don't. There is

388
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: a difference. Stop telling me about the uniparty and all

389
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: that crap. They are way too way too many people

390
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: who are way too close in all those ways.

391
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: But it is not a uniparty, no doubt.

392
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 2: Tony there in the chat says she is majorly pro Israel.

393
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why the Democrats and others don't like her.

394
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the way she's moving the outlet.

395
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

396
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: Maybe she's in favor of Israel's existence or not thinking

397
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 2: that terrorists should be able to destroy them. I haven't

398
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: followed her feed that closely, but I would have no doubt. Well,

399
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: that is certainly something I can at least accept. Rather

400
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: than people who are like, hey, you know what we

401
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: should do. We should support terrorists, or we should lie

402
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: about what's happening and support the word of Hamas, which

403
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: is a lying terrorist organization. Maybe we should actually engage

404
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: the facts that present the fact. I think that makes

405
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: good sense. But the change up of sixty minutes. Now

406
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: you take a look at Barry Wise trying to get

407
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings over from CNN, trying to get Brett Behar

408
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: over from.

409
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: Fox.

410
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 2: The Brett Bear one is kind of fascinating to me

411
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: in that leaving Fox Man, you got a nice life

412
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 2: over there. You have built something for yourself over there,

413
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 2: and really, if you take a look at it, one

414
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: of the reasons you were able to do so is

415
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: because has britt Hume handed you the keys.

416
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 3: This is not a disparagement of Brettbear at all.

417
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: Nice guy. I've never met Brittain Hume. I've met Brett.

418
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 2: It's that brit Hume could have. He still could be

419
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: leading that show Special Report. He decided to walk away

420
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: and just be a special correspondent whatever it is he

421
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: calls himself giving the keys to Brett Baer, and he

422
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: really got that opportunity and solidified it, strengthened it, built it.

423
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: Maybe there's an allure to broadcast news that I don't

424
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: quite understand for the news guy. Maybe a lot of money,

425
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: a lot of control Brettbaer would have to have in

426
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: order to take the gig. Scott Jennings is different. Scott

427
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: Jennings is doing commentary. He does a radio show, and

428
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure he can do news.

429
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: I think he can do news. I don't know if

430
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: he wants to.

431
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: But Scott Jennings is an interesting, interesting play.

432
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: What makes Scott Jennings work on CNN is that.

433
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: He's taking on these leftists who know that he is

434
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: more prepared. He is unyielding in his approach and what

435
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: he has been able to do with that little like

436
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: like side eye to the camera, like I'm live streaming

437
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: right now. So I was him, and I was I

438
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: was talking to to Anna Navarro and Anna Navarro said,

439
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: something is as ridiculous as you know, Anna Navarro would say,

440
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: and and then Scott Jennings would just make that little

441
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: side eye to the camera like and then go back

442
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: into the conversation like that's that's what made him. I

443
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: don't know if that's going to translate on CBS. And

444
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: what would you do in increasing a role for him.

445
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: He can't just be somebody who's out there doing just commentary.

446
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: He can't be hired to be like what Chris Christie

447
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: does for ABC, because first of all, Chris Christy at

448
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: this point of the game is basically pretending his way

449
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: through it. You would need to have people on there

450
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: if you want Jennings to be interesting, Who are going

451
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: to go that further left so he can expose the

452
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: insanity or what else is it that you're going to

453
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: have him do?

454
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: Where do you put him? Where do you place him?

455
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 3: Do you like the talent? Yes?

456
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: You do you value the opportunity that he could bring, yes,

457
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: But one has to have a plan Chris Scott Jennings,

458
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure where where that plan is in

459
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: CBS's landscape. Give him a show. But if you give

460
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings that show, you're now having a show that

461
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: is clearly on the political right.

462
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: I'm not opposed to such a thing.

463
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: I am saying that if we're talking about engaging as news,

464
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: you can have the commentary guy to discuss news stories

465
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: and what they mean and how they affect American, how

466
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: they're perceived by America.

467
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: Can't have that guy doing news.

468
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: So I'm not so sure about the Scott Jenning thing,

469
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings thing, and I'm not anti Scot Jennings at all.

470
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: The Brettbaar thing he's on your contract to twenty twenty eight.

471
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: But changing things at CBS good. And the more you

472
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: see people upset about the changes.

473
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: The more you realize they were never.

474
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: Interested in news in the first place. I'm Tony Katz.

475
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz today. Starting with Republicans.

476
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: How is the shutdown they seem to have affected their

477
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 4: political standing?

478
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

479
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 8: You might think, given that the Republicans are in charge

480
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 8: of both the House and the Senate, that a government

481
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 8: shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand, But in fact

482
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 8: it hasn't. If anything, it's been helped a little bit.

483
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: Take ladies and gentlemen, Harry Inton of CNN telling you that.

484
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: I was always right. Oh no, wait, you were always right.

485
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: Let's say it better. We were always right.

486
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: Democrats misjudged this shutdown in every single way.

487
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 8: Can look here the shift in that popularity versus pre

488
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 8: shutdown among the g when we're looking at the Republican

489
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 8: Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's within

490
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 8: the margin everp but clearly it hasn't dropped. Come over

491
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 8: this side of the screen, look at the net approval

492
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 8: ratings for Republicans and Congress It's actually up five points.

493
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: And up five points because Democrats shut down the government.

494
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: Democrats caused those who work in air traffic control not

495
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: to get paid.

496
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 3: Democrats are to blame and they like it.

497
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: Oh wait, you get into the whole conversation as we

498
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: will about leverage and causing pain.

499
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 3: And we're in a great place right now. Just lies,

500
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 3: all lies. The data is the data? Anything else? Harryenton

501
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 3: is pre shutdown.

502
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 8: So what we're seeing here is the Republican brand in

503
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 8: Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were

504
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 8: pre shutdown, despite the fact the Republicans control. And that's

505
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 8: the mat that John Thune and Mike Johnson are looking

506
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 8: at is, Hey, why should we give an electorally speaking when.

507
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: Our brand has actually improved a little bit. Now we

508
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: say their position is getting better with whom? Yeah, okay,

509
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: with whom? So I think it's true everyone who's normal.

510
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 3: Oh wait, that question wasn't for me. I thought that

511
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: question was that was I assume sorry, I'm sorry, I

512
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: assume that question was for me. Two groups that it's.

513
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 8: So important to keep an eye out on, all right,

514
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 8: changing the Republican Congresses and net approval rating versus pre

515
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 8: shutdown it's rallying the base for sure. Look at this,

516
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 8: the net approval rating up twelve points versus pre shutdown.

517
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: But it's not just with the base, it's also with

518
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 3: the middle of the electorate.

519
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 8: Look at this among independent it's up eight points as well.

520
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: Eight points that is.

521
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: I believe if I was a political observer, and I am,

522
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: I believe the terminology we would use there in the

523
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: Latin is seismic.

524
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: Eight points up with independence.

525
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: I know politicos who would give their right pinky to

526
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 2: be up eight points with independence. What are you talking

527
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 2: about being up with the Republicans? Well, I mean that's good.

528
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: They've totally bought into this and they think you've got

529
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: the better argument. But independents have looked at this and

530
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: say you have the better argument as well. It's ballgame.

531
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: This is ballgame. This whole shutdown. Democrats look terrible. Democrats

532
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: did this. Democrats will be blamed, and all of this.

533
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 2: Republicans have to te into the midterms. My problem is,

534
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if Republicans are smart enough to do it.

535
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 2: This is the great test because in a midterm where

536
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: one party has power, the other party usually is able

537
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: to get advantages and gain votes, which means Democrats normally

538
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 2: in any year, would be able to take the House

539
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: if you keep the House in Republican hands. That's the story. Now,

540
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: how do you do it? Are Republicans smart enough, strategic

541
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 2: enough to at least try?

542
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: You can't take advantage of this, What can you take

543
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 3: advantage of it? I'm Tony Kats
