1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Line from val Hartbyer and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, so we'll get more into the indictment 3 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: of James Comy, the surrendering series of things to get to. 4 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: But I've been talking about the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. 5 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, great to be with. You 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: find everything at Tony kats dot com. Subscribe, be a 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: part of it. I appreciate it if you would. I 8 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: think Duffy is the best so far of the cabinet picks. 9 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: I know he's not getting the most press. I'm not 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: upset with Hegseth. Certainly like what Rubio is doing. I 11 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,319 Speaker 1: think Berghram's been solid, But Sean Duffy isn't searching out 12 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: a camera. Sean Duffy is getting work done. I'm not 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: disparaging other members of the cabinet. I am saying that 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: there is a market improvement and there is at least 15 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: a focus going on about our airlines, airports and now trucking. 16 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: As Secretary Duffy is, they're making this. 17 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: Announcement because we have a government system designed to keep 18 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 2: American families on the road safe. 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: But that system has been compromised. 20 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: I'm talking about non domicile the commercial driver's licenses that 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 2: are issued across the country. So when plain English, this 22 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: is a license to operate a massive, eighty thousand pound 23 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: truck that's being issued to foreign drivers who are not 24 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: US citizens or lawful permanent residents. The process for issuing 25 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: these licenses is absolutely one hundred percent broken. 26 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: And that is about doing something that affects all of 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: us because we're all on the roads. We saw that 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: story out of Florida where this guy makes this illegal 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: U turn and this minivan can't stop, slides underneath the 30 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: trail of this eighteen wheeler. Everybody dies because this guy 31 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: just made a U turn right in the middle of everything. 32 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: How do you get the license? This is the kind 33 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: of subject that I don't mean this to be gross 34 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: or crude. That's not how I mean this. This is 35 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: the kind of subject, kind of topic that's totally un sexy. 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: But this is about how we live. This is about 37 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: how your spouse lives, about how your kids live because 38 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: they're on the roads with these people. This kind of 39 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 1: stuff matters. This is nitty gritty kind of stuff. This 40 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: is why do we act this way? And do these things. 41 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: And it's not only about us, what about other truckers 42 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: on the road. I would love to hear shoot me 43 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: an email Tony at Tony kats dot com. How problematic 44 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: are these types of licenses for you in your field? 45 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: Is the is the the secretary of just you know, 46 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: barking up the wrong tree. I'm not really a cliche guy, 47 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: yet that one came out. Is he pushing a subject 48 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter? Or is this of paramount importance? I 49 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: think this is an important subject. Indeed, it has. 50 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: Become a threat to public safety and it is a 51 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: national emergency that requires action right now. 52 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: This isn't fear mongerene. 53 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: This is a serious business that entails American families. 54 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: And their lives. 55 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: So this year alone, a series of horrific fatal crashes 56 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: have been caused by dangerous non domicileed CDL drivers. So 57 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: I want to go through a couple of examples and 58 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: pull the first one up here. On March fourteenth, in Texas, 59 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: a truck driver failed to break and crashed into a 60 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: long line of traffic. This caused a seventeen vehicle pile 61 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: up that killed five people, including two children, and eleven hospitalized. 62 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: A post crash investigation revealed a history of unsafe lane changes, 63 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: ignoring traffic signs, in multiple violations of hour of service rules. 64 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: That's just one and the secretary, Sean Duffy, their transportation secretary, 65 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: the hits just keep on coming. I want to go 66 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: to slide two. Here. 67 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: On May sixth and Alabama, a driver with less than 68 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: six weeks of experience slammed his tractor and trailer into 69 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: four vehicles stopped at a red light. He killed two 70 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: people and he injured four. He had previously failed his 71 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: skills test for speeding. Speeding and the skills test. The 72 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 2: crash occurred on just his third day of employment with 73 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 2: his carrier. And my third example this, of course, was 74 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: the fatal car crash in Florida earlier this summer, and 75 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: many in the media had reported on that. 76 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: You just heard me talk about that. This is the 77 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: kind of stuff that doesn't get love, This is kind 78 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: of stuff that doesn't get the front page. But this 79 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff that even more affects us 80 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, or we could argue at least 81 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: equally affects us. But because it's not sexy and you 82 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: can't get a headline with it. The guys who have 83 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: the power to do something about it don't really because 84 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: they want to chase the headline and chase look at 85 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: the look at the press that I'm getting. I like 86 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: Sean Duffy. I like what's happening here. I like the seriousness, 87 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: I like the work. This is an important subject, and 88 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm thankful he's doing it. I've said this already. I'm 89 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: already on record. I think he's been the most impressive 90 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: in the position so far, because he was the one 91 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: I knew the least about so far. So very good 92 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: for all of us us. This is Tony Katz today. 93 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: So Benjaminette Yaho comes to the United Nations to speak 94 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: to the United Nations and then people walked out because 95 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: it's Israel, and you know they're standing on some kind 96 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 1: of moral grounds. Sure believe what you will, Tony Katz, 97 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, Good to be with you. I caught 98 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: this article from David Harsanyi over at the New York Post. 99 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Gen Z's casual anti Semitism is growing, seated by influencers 100 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: like Tucker Carlson. People are going to complete these two things, 101 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: and I don't think they should put them in their 102 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: separate silos because this goes to a conversation. And man, 103 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: they got Dennis Prager on video talking about this. You know, 104 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: Dennis Prager had this radio host good Man had this 105 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: accident that left him unable to move and for a 106 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: long time, months and months unable to speak. But he 107 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: is speaking now and his mind never left him, and 108 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: he was discussing that this very idea of criticizing Israel. 109 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Answer is, why in the world could you not criticize Israel? 110 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: Criticizing Israel is not necessarily an act of anti Semitism. 111 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: And I believe this. I state this. And the point 112 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: is when people come to me and say, well, why 113 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: can't I criticize this, I'm like, go right ahead, I'll start. 114 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: How does this country not have a constitution? How in 115 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: the world do you have a Supreme Court that makes 116 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: decisions based on the concept of reasonableness? Is the legislation 117 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: in question reasonable? Oh? Holy hell, there's no way to 118 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: run a society. That's crazy town. You can't run a 119 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: society that way, no way, it's insane. You want to 120 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: talk about their COVID policy, a big, hot, ridiculous mess, 121 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: and you want to discuss the fact that they fell 122 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: asleep on the job and allow Jamas to engage this attack. 123 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: See how easy that is. But the idea that Israel's 124 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: committing a genocide by taking out Hamas has everywhere throughout Gaza, 125 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: every single part of it, and Palestinians know where they are, 126 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: and many of them do nothing except support Hamas. We 127 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: forget that the second wave of attack from October seventh 128 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: was the Palestinians, not just Hamas. It's so clear and 129 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: obvious to anybody who has gotten out of the mindset 130 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: of the CNN, MSNBC, Young Turk's News that there's a 131 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: real issue here with the people themselves. And yes, they're 132 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: innocent people being killed, just like they're innocent people on 133 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: October seventh that were killed. It's a war that they started, 134 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: and people think Israel should just somehow stop it all. 135 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: It's gone on too long, it's too much. I argue 136 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: that they should have moved faster from the beginning. I 137 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: then argue that it's understandable that they weren't sure how 138 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: they were going to navigate some of the moving, not 139 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: knowing where snipers were and other issues were. But absolutely 140 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: I would have gone down the road of I want 141 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: all these people back, where these people are not coming back. 142 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: This happened, but they went down the road of we're 143 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: going to try and get these people back, and they 144 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: got a great number of the people back and a 145 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: great number of remains back, and there are still hostages 146 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: being held, to which all of these groups don't say 147 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: return the hostages. They don't care. It doesn't matter to them. 148 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: Has this gone on too long? I can appreciate the 149 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: sentiment that it has, absolutely because it's something we discussed 150 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: from the beginning. But if you ask me whether I 151 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: think Israel sees itself as a country that's going to 152 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: put up with AMOS anymore, the answer is no. And 153 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: they're going to destroy every last of the AMAS member, 154 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: whether they are in Gaza or whether they're in Cutter 155 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: or anywhere else. And they don't really care where the 156 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: world is on them. And maybe they shouldn't be surprised 157 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: when people walk out of the United Nations. The point 158 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: is if Israel had stopped and never gone in, those 159 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: people would have still walked out. That is the argument 160 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: that the people who walked out of the United Nations 161 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: because net and Yahoo was speaking were gonna walk out 162 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:30,479 Speaker 1: on him anyway. That is the anti Semitism part conversation 163 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: about whether Israel should still be going, should still be acting. 164 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: Haven't they haven't they finished this up already. Well, that's 165 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: a conversation about how do you think you should handle this? 166 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: How do you think you should handle that? What about 167 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: negotiations here? What are about diplomacy here? But you should 168 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: at least say that in recognition with Hamas started this, someboss' 169 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: evil Hamas's terrorist organization. Hamas has to be destroyed, should 170 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: be destroyed, at least should be removed from power, never 171 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: be allowed to have power again. Right, That's that's one 172 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: thousand percent where we should be a thousand percent, and 173 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: not everybody is there. So the conversation regarding Israel is 174 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: a different conversation than the stuff with Tucker Carlson and 175 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: I talked about the fact that I didn't like what 176 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: he said in Charlie Kirk's memorial because it was it 177 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: was clearly incendiary, clearly ridiculous. And people wanted to argue 178 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: with me, Tony, the Jews killed Jesus. Why can't you 179 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: just accept this? And I didn't respond to too many 180 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: people because I was really kind of amazed that that 181 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: would be the response, and I was not interested in 182 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: angering people who were clearly or purposely, or however you 183 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: want to say it, not catching the points of my statement, 184 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: which was so obvious and was echoed by so many people, 185 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: as if it could somehow be denied. Tucker Carlson wasn't 186 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: having a conversation about the Pharisees and the end the 187 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: the crucifixion of Jesus and the Romans, and yes, Jews 188 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: at the time. But the moral of the story is 189 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: is that wasn't all Jews. It was some jewsus. This 190 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: is gon to bring us back to Dennis Praeger. What 191 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: I said is that Tucker Carlson at his memorial said, 192 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: just picture a couple of guys sitting around eating hummus, saying, Hey, 193 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: that Jesus problem, Why don't we just kill him? Was 194 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: he trying to make the conversation that Jews killed Kirk? 195 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: Probably not. Probably not. Was he saying that Jews killed Jesus? 196 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely and the guilt is all the way across the board. 197 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: I didn't kill nobody just for the sake of the conversation. 198 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: And Tucker does this a lot, and then he laughs 199 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: like a weirdo, and everyone says, well, he's just speaking 200 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: the word. He's not. I reject that premise, and I'm 201 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: happy to debate that anywhere. There's an issue with Tucker, 202 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: and there's certainly an issue with the anti Semitism that 203 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: has come from this woke right, new right in sanity. 204 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: Israel is always the blame. Jews always blame. It's Candice Tucker. 205 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: It's just gross. And of course I'm gonna say this 206 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: is nuts. I got plenty of on Jews saying it's nuts, 207 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: because it is. It is ridiculous. Thus the commentary of 208 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: Dennis Prager, which echoes things that we have said here, 209 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: he just gave it a different kind of twist. The 210 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: idea that one person believes something, or one person says 211 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: something or one person does something is different than saying 212 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: because of that the whole group that shares the same 213 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: characteristic believe something, did something, et cetera. I get yelled 214 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: at locally in my Indianapolis area when I'm doing my 215 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: morning show because I discuss the issues that are taking 216 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: place in let's say downtown. Name your downtown, downtown, Tulsa, downtown, Detroit, downtown, 217 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: Saint Louis downtown Paton Rouge, A lot of places downtown Orlando, 218 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: downtown Peoria. You got a lot of places that have 219 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: issues downtown, and I discuss what's going on, and I 220 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: will have people message me. You're not being honest, Tony. 221 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: You just won't say that the issue is black people 222 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: because I don't believe the issue is black people. I 223 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: believe the issue is liberalism when we take a look 224 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: at what it is that drives people to certain activities 225 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: and the excusing of certain activities. If you think that 226 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: it's skin color, man, that's a KKK move, count me out. 227 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: It is absolutely what takes place in the gray. It's 228 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: the ideology. I know plenty of people who are conservative 229 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: and black, and they're not doing that. Therefore, my data 230 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: point is accurate to say, well, it's black people. No, No, 231 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: that's insane. Liberalism, progressivism, the excusing of either violent behavior, 232 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: dangerous behavior, antisocial behavior ten percent, a cultural rot that 233 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: has created such levels of narcissism that anything you do 234 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: that is encounter to how they feel at the moment 235 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: is seen as the threat and then pile on it. 236 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: And you see this in videos like if you ever 237 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: watch those videos of people being pulled over. Oh you 238 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: pulled me over because I'm black? I saw one yesterday. 239 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: Did you pull me over because I'm trans? And that 240 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: was it. It's a shield, it's a weapon, it's both. 241 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: And that comes from an ideological place that comes from 242 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: the Marxism and the idea of division and instruction, and 243 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with color of skin. You 244 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: want to take a look at America post civil War 245 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: and pre civil rights. You want to take a look 246 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: at the places that thrived. You want to take a 247 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: look at Tulsa before the Tulsa race massacre. Do you want? 248 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: Honesty requires an honest look. Honesty requires honestly paying attention. 249 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: And so to the point that Dennis is making, the 250 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: objection to a policy from a government makes rational sense 251 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: if you could back up the reasons for your objection 252 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: to the policy. The objection to the people's existence is 253 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: something completely different. And there are definitely people in that 254 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: un men who have an issue with existence, like Canada, 255 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: like the UK, and like Australia and Netanya who said so. 256 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 3: This week the leaders of France, Britain, Australia and Canada 257 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 3: and other countries unconditionally recognized a Palestinian state. They did 258 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 3: so after the horrors committed by Hamas on October seventh, 259 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 3: horrors praised on that day by nearly ninety percent of 260 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 3: the Palestinian population. Let me say that again, nearly ninety 261 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 3: percent of Palestinians supported the attack on October seventh. It's 262 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 3: not supported only they celebrated it. They danced on the rooftops, 263 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 3: they threw candies. That's woes both in Gaza and in Julia, Samaria, 264 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 3: the West Bank as you call it. And it's just 265 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 3: the way they celebrated another horror nine eleven. They dance 266 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 3: on the rooftops, they cheered, they threw candy. You know 267 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 3: what message the leaders who recognize the Palestinian state this 268 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: week sent to the Palestinians. It's a very clear message 269 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 3: murdering Jews pays off. Well, I have a message for 270 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 3: these leaders. When the most savage terrorists on earth are 271 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: effusively praising your decision, you didn't do something right. 272 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: You did something wrong, horribly wrong. 273 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: Your disgraceful decision will encourage terrorism against Jews and against 274 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 3: innocent people everywhere. 275 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: It will be a mark of shame on all of you. 276 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: And He's right is one thousand percent right by the way. 277 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: That's what these nations did. And embarrassingly they say, well, 278 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: this is going to bring peace. It's going to bring 279 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: them to the table. Now they have to act like 280 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: a proper nation. Sure, sure you see. That's me having 281 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: issue with the policies of France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, Australia, 282 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: et cetera, and not thinking that all Londoners, or all 283 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: Canadians or or all Australians are bad people. See how 284 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: it works? Oh, I know you did. I was talking 285 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: to everybody else. I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony 286 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: Katz today. So this heg Seth meeting is a mystery. 287 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: And I can appreciate people saying, what is all of 288 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: this about Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be 289 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: with you. You've got the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth saying 290 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: h allegedly putting together this, this meeting of generals, generals 291 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: and admirals. There's like eight hundred generals and admirals we 292 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: have in the United States. It's okay, what are you 293 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: what are you getting together for? What is the purpose 294 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: of the meeting? And the answers I do not know 295 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: I have no idea why there's this meeting got reported 296 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: by the Washington Post yesterday, it's now everywhere. I'm kind 297 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: of bothered that it's reported, because if indeed they're gonna 298 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: get together, I don't think I want everybody knowing about it. 299 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it should be so much a story 300 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: of a public consumption get together for the meeting without 301 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: letting anybody know. But it got leaked, and now there's 302 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: this question of this mystery meeting. As with all things, 303 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: people get incredibly what's the word I'm looking for, dumb? 304 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: And there is a guy who I do not know, 305 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: by the name of Ben Hodges, a general former US 306 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: Army Europe, and he's on social media and he tweets out. 307 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: July nineteen thirty five, German generals were called to a 308 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath 309 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: to the Weimar Constitution was void and that they would 310 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: be further required to swear a personal oath to the Furor. 311 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: Most generals took the new oath to keep their position, 312 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: to which Pete Hegseth responded, cool story, general, is that 313 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: really how we're going to be engaging things? The only 314 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: reason for this meeting is because Trump and Hegseth want 315 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: the generals to swear an allegiance to Trump. Continuing this 316 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: push of Trump autocrat, Trump deskpot, Trump dictator, Trump, threat 317 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: to democracy, Trump takeover. It continues, over and over and 318 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: over again. No turning down the rhetoric, no toning down 319 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: the rhetoric. This is certifiable. I assume that this general 320 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: is retired the United States Army certifiable. These people are broken. 321 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: Why in the world would I even consider or you 322 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: or anybody believing anything they say? For what purpose would 323 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: you do that? I'm curious about this meeting too. I 324 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: do not quite understand what it is for. Maybe we'll 325 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: find out. I think the argument of do you really 326 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: want all these senior officials in one place, I think 327 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: that's actually a very good argument. I think that is 328 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: a near compelling argument. Is this the right thing to do? 329 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: Then you have Trump and and he was in the 330 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: in the oval yesterday. You've got Trump and you have JD. 331 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: Vance there and they were asked about this, and they're like, 332 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: not a big deal. Why are we even why are 333 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: we even talking about this? Why such a big deal? 334 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: You act like it's a bad thing. I'm not saying 335 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: it is a bad thing, but are we going to 336 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: to pretend that there's there's not the possibility of a 337 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: problem with everybody being in one place. It's okay to say, 338 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: It's okay to note it's like when you had the 339 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: memorial service for Charlie Kirk. I understand we could do 340 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: security pretty well. The president, the vice president, the the 341 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense all in 342 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: one spot. It's yes, you can be concerned about that, 343 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: but we have them all one spot, and for example, 344 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: at least many of them, for example, had a Republican convention, 345 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: the Democratic can It's okay to say, is this the 346 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: best idea. I just don't know what the meeting is for. 347 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: But if there's a conversation about a reduction amongst the generals, 348 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: well I'm absolutely fine with that. Eight hundred generals and admirals. 349 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: Do you really need that many people with stars? Does 350 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: it really take that many stars to get the job done? 351 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 3: Or do we. 352 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: Promote people to general because you know somebody has a 353 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: brother in law, and well, you know that is often 354 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: times the case. You don't think the military is political. 355 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: How do you think you get to be a general, 356 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: you're a great leader. That's not always how it works, 357 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: and we are all fully aware of that. So as 358 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: for what this meeting is, I do not know. But 359 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: if we're going to fire some generals and some admerals, 360 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I am fine with it. And 361 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: the idea that we can't fire admirals in generals. This 362 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: goes back to that conversation, do the institutions exist for 363 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: the citizenry or do they exist to keep the institutions 364 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: in existence. Then there's the story of the farmer. So 365 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: you have got the Trump administration saying that tariff money 366 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: is going to be used to help bail out farmers, 367 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: not all, but some. Now Taiwan is pledging to buy 368 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: six billion dollars in US corn and soybeans. This is 369 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: the first story that I have seen where there is 370 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: some kind of movement based on the tariff war, the 371 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: idea that yes, indeed, it's not just a conversation of well, 372 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: we'll open up our markets to these things that you 373 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: sell in America. Opening up the market is inconsequential. Are 374 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: they going to buy? Yes or no? So you have 375 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: this deal regarding the state of Indiana. Leaders of Indiana's 376 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: corn and soybean lobbies signing letters of intent with officials 377 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: from Taiwan that call for Taiwan to purchase close to 378 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: six billion dollars worth of US agricultural products over the 379 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: next four years. Now, I would want to know exactly 380 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: how much of this stuff do they buy. Already the 381 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: letters state that they're committed to buying eight point five 382 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: metric tons of US corn products and six and a 383 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: half to eight metric tons of soybean products by twenty 384 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: twenty nine. That's a little over two billion dollars worth 385 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: of corn and three and three quarter billion dollars worth 386 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: of soybean. Now, it doesn't discuss how much it's coming 387 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: out of Indiana specifically, but we'll leave that as a 388 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: secondary point. If this is something in addition to what 389 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: is already being purchased, specifically purchased because of trade deals, 390 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: this is the kind of thing you cheer and celebrate 391 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: and say, my gosh, the first actual fruits of one 392 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: of these trade deals. That's good news. But if now 393 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: we're going to say, going back to the other side 394 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: of this tariff, money is teared to bail out the farmer, 395 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: I like the farmer I support the farmer. I want 396 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: these trade deals to be able to help out the 397 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: farmer in every single way. But the tarers being used 398 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: to bail out the farmer. I thought that we had 399 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: a use for the tariffs, and that was paying down debt. 400 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: I thought that was its purpose, get rid of this 401 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: insane debt crushing Americans. That because we don't stop spending, 402 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: because we're fools, that was the goal. That's not the goal. 403 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: Now we're going to use it for specific pet projects. 404 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: I opposed the tarff money going back to the people 405 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: some level of rebate. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 406 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: This is all getting silly. Don't get me wrong. I 407 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: love it when Americans get their money back. I want 408 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: my money back too. Pay down the debt. If that's 409 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: what you're gonna use, If you're gonna have these ridiculous 410 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: for cock to tariffs, pay pay down the debt, be done. Finished. 411 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: Paying down the debt is better for me. I need 412 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: this debt gone. This is crushing, this is gonna destroy us. 413 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: My gosh, it's the Tea party all over again. But 414 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna bail out the farmers, Trump saying in the 415 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: Oval Office, We're gonna take some of that tariff money 416 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: that we've made. We're gonna give it to our farmers 417 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: who for a little while are going to be hurt 418 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: until it kicks in. The tariffs kick in to their benefit. 419 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: I do like the admission that the tariffs cause a problem. 420 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: If this trade deal works where it's above and beyond 421 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: what is already being purchased by Taiwan, then yes, the 422 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: first real good news. Now let's see others do this 423 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: and start buying. And by the way, there's only so 424 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: many soybeans. We have so much corn that we have. Oh, 425 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of it, but there's only so much. 426 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: There are only so many places you can go and 427 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: sell the things because you only have so much to sell. 428 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: This is a good result, not one hundred percent sure 429 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: how I feel about kind of peace meeling it out 430 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: with this group is hurt and that group's hurt. The 431 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: other group's hurt. You said you're gonna pay down debt, 432 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: and I think that's what you should do. The other 433 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: part of it is, did the tariffs actually lead us 434 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: to this place talk with this deal with Taiwan? Did 435 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: take the tariffs to do this? We couldn't have done 436 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: it any other way. Maybe not, But do the tariffs 437 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: still provide us any value? Because there are attacks on us? 438 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: I still say no, but a trade deal. I will 439 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: cheer a trade deal that actually sees an economic result. 440 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: And I'm not mad at farmers, I understand. I'm just 441 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: saying this tariff money was supposed to go to debt, 442 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: and I would if we're gonna collect the crap, I 443 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: would still like to see that be the thing that's 444 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: paid down. This is Tony Katz today. So as we 445 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: have seen, the political left has no interest in toning 446 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: down the rhetoric. Absolutely, positively none. We were talking about 447 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: the conversation regarding the Secretary of warpete Hegseth a meeting 448 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: with generals, and you've got a former general saying, well, 449 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: that's what they did in the Weimar Republic and made 450 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: them all swear an oath to Hitler. Some toning down 451 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: the rhetoric. That is Tony Katz. Tony Katz today, Good 452 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: to be with you. Chuck Todd, formerly of NBC, now 453 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: on the Chuck Todcast. In Doubt get a podcast. I 454 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: have no idea he's making money from it or not. 455 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to know he's got this little gem 456 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: for you. 457 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit here and say Ice is bringing 458 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 4: this upon themselves. But why are we masking the agents 459 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 4: when they come after people? This is America. This is 460 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 4: not jack booted thugs coming in at the you know, 461 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 4: that is not what America is supposed to be. 462 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: And so all of this stuff is going to get met. 463 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 4: When you when when you sort of govern in a 464 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 4: nihilistic way, you're gonna get you're gonna end up creating. 465 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: A lot of nihilists. 466 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 4: And that's a very scary proposition for those of us 467 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 4: that would like to live in free, normal America. 468 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here say Ice is bringing this 469 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: upon themselves and then goes on to say America, Ice 470 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: is bringing us upon themselves. That's what he's saying, And 471 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: that is, of course not the case. And why are 472 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: they wearing masks because they're getting docs, because they're getting 473 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: a tight because they're getting shot at. That's the argument. 474 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: It's not that we think that law enforcement should be 475 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: able to operate in the shadows. It's that they're being 476 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: shot at. And you, Chuck Todd, think that somehow it's 477 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: Trump that's engaging the nihilism. Wanting to enforce the laws 478 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: of the nation. Wouldn't that, by definition be opposed diametric 479 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: opposition to the concept of nihilism. I don't know do 480 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: we need to define the word nihilism? Sure, A viewpoint 481 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: that traditional, traditional values and beliefs are unfounded, So that's 482 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: the definition. A viewpoint the traditional values and beliefs are 483 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless. A doctrine 484 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: or belief that conditions in the social organization are so 485 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: bad as to make destruction desirable for its own sake, 486 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: independence of any constructive program or possibility. The people who 487 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: want to burn it all down will get more in 488 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: to those people who are the nihilists. People who want 489 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: to uphold the rule of law and believe that the 490 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: United States has borders and a way of life that 491 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: should be protected, or the people who want open borders 492 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: want that way of living destroyed and believe in killing 493 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: those who are trying to enforce the laws that are 494 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: already on the books, voted on by our elected representatives. 495 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: Who are the nihilists? Here the argument made from Chuck 496 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: Todd just weeks of pseudo intellectual non heft. There's no 497 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: weight here.
