1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Live from Vall Hartby and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: Good morning everyone. 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 3: We are now beginning day thirty of the Democrats shutdown, 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 3: and as there are millions of Americans this morning that 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: are embracing themselves for further pain and hardship, will highlight 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 3: some of that this morning. The Democrats incredibly are showing 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 3: no signs at all that they want to end their shutdown. 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: And that's true. Nothing says that Democrats are looking for 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: the exits, which is a weird story in and of itself. 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, good to be with you. 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: this is going on is part of what's happening in America. 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: And as we've discussed now that people aren't getting paid, 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: money is not flowing to a whole bunch of benefits. 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: You're now going to hear these things get ramped up. 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: What I can not fine for the Democratic Party is 18 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: the off ramp. Somewhere there is a belief, there is 19 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: a theory, there is a philosophy that Republicans will blank 20 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: and extend Obamacare subsidies, that they can get Trump to do. 21 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: This it'll be unpopular. The numbers already show that Republicans 22 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: are fine and independents are with the Republicans on this. 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: It's Democrats who are keeping things shut down. So I 24 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: don't know where the off ramp is. It's a weird moment. 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: You know, we're all political observers here, right. I do 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: this for a living. You're a part of what we 27 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: do every day. But you've got jobs, life, family, right, 28 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: and you do things in your spare time. So let's 29 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: say you're as much of an observer as I am, 30 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: or you're somewhere on the spectrum. Usually people engage politically 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: to a political end. What's the end here? The end 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: is they vote for the continuing Resolution and then we're 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: back by the way November twenty first. But that's not 34 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: an end that works for Schumer and co. What did 35 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: you actually stand up to? What exactly did you bring 36 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: attention to? What exactly did you fight for? What exactly 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: did you get? What exactly did you win? What concession 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: is achieved? Or may I say it this way? What 39 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: concession can you claim is achieved? I don't know what 40 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: it is. I do this every day, so do you. 41 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. What is it that 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: they can turn to their base and say we did it. 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: We showed them. I don't know where the out is, 44 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: and that could very well be the answer. They don't 45 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: know what the out is either, so they don't do anything. 46 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: Now this gets even stranger because I had Congressman Marlin 47 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: Stutzman on my morning show. He represents the third district 48 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: in Indiana, and he said something that blew my mind 49 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: on the idea of when does this end? 50 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 4: And then also the Virginia and New Jersey elections are 51 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 4: going to be done next Tuesday, and I think that's 52 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: what the Democrats have been holding out for because they're 53 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: just they just do not like Donald Trump. 54 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: They can't stand I'm going to interrupt you talking to 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: Congress with Marlin Stutsman of the Indiana third District. I 56 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: heard they were they were holding out for the No 57 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: King's rally. Now the reason that they're going to extend 58 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: us into next week because you've got the Virginia governor race, 59 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: the Democrat Abigail Stanberger against the incumbent lieutenant governor win 60 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: some earl sears. You've got that that governor's race in 61 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: New Jersey where you've got Jack Ciarelli, the Republican gaining 62 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: serious ground on the congresswoman Democrat Mickey Cheryl. They're gonna 63 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: hold on so they can get the opportunities. And there's 64 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: a connection between that and these these statewide races. 65 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely. I mean they're looking for anything, you know. 66 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 4: I described it like, you know, that's a basketball game 67 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 4: that the GOP has huge momentum. Democrats are basically all 68 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 4: the time out they want to stop President Trump because 69 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 4: he's scoring and they want to The only way they 70 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 4: can do anything to slow it down is shut the 71 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: government down. And they've even said it. I mean, the 72 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 4: Democrat leadership in both the House and the Senate has said, 73 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 4: you know, this is their moment of leverage and that 74 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 4: they're going there's going to be some pain for their 75 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 4: constituents on these snap programs. You know, people are going 76 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 4: to have to go without food stamps for some time 77 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 4: because this is the moment they have leverage and that 78 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: they're not going to be able to get this opportunity 79 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 4: probably again for some time. 80 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: In Congress. 81 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 4: I mean, think about that, Tony, We're going to say, hey, 82 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: you know what, sorry, folks, you're not going to get 83 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 4: your food stamps today because we need the leverage in 84 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 4: Congress to stop President Trump from what cutting taxes, cutting spending, 85 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: growing the economy, world peace, I mean, name it, but 86 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 4: that's that's Trump derangement syndrome right there. 87 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: So that's a nuts thought that they're going to keep 88 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: this because they think that staying shut down is going 89 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: to help them in Virginia and in New Jersey. Now 90 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they can't win in both places. 91 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: There's a lot of lefties in both places. I'm saying 92 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: that if you think this is going to help you 93 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: when it's clearly been shown that it's not connecting with Americans, 94 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: that's just beyond desperation. Me, I don't even know if 95 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: desperation is the right word. That's just like a that's 96 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: the craziest, weirdest hail Mary I may have ever heard of. 97 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: And as always, you know, my father Arrest his soul 98 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: used to say, you know, the guy who screws you 99 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: over in business, Hey, you didn't use the term screws 100 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: you over. The guy who screws you over because he's 101 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: gonna get paid. They're gonna make some money out of it. 102 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: You may not like it, and they may be wrong 103 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: and everything else, but you can understand it. They were 104 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: doing it for the for the dollar. The person you 105 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,559 Speaker 1: have to worry about is the person who will screw 106 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: you over for nothing they don't gain anything from it. 107 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: That person is dangerous. You're saying shut down for two 108 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: governors races, that that's not going to impact the governor's races, 109 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: or is it giving in and signing the CR. Voting 110 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: for the CR is seen as quitting and is going 111 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: to demoralize the left, which would mean that they actually 112 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: do like this stuff, or at least that's the bet. 113 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 4: You know. 114 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: There was the argument that the party is run by 115 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: the leftist progressives and the far left. I don't, you know, 116 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: I don't believe that Democrats are being controlled by the 117 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: far left. I believe Democrats are the far left. That 118 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: there are very few actual Democrats out there. They are 119 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: all leftist progressives, and the leadership, whether it be Chuck 120 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: Schumer or Costa Cortez or Bernie Sanders or Ana Presley 121 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: or Chris van Holland, they are the leftist progressives. They 122 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: aren't Democrats. So it's not like they're being led by 123 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: this wild mob outside the Capitol. The wild mob is 124 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: the party in the Capitol not voting to open up 125 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: the government. So it's a wild kind of scene where 126 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: this can't help. It can't, but being seen as giving 127 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: in now could hurt. Oh okay, all right, you know what, 128 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: thank you, all right, now, we understand it. That could 129 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: very well be it. It won't help, but if you 130 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: give up now, it could hurt. All right, that could 131 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: be a mathematics back to Speaker Mike Johnson. 132 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: Now, they will have another opportunity today, the Democrats and 133 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: the Senate will have their fifteenth opportunity to do the 134 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: right thing. 135 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: We're concerned that they won't. 136 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: And if they reject this for the fifteen time, they 137 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: will be ensuring that this shutdown continues past the November 138 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 3: one deadline, and that is a fateful deadline for a 139 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 3: number of reasons. Starting on Saturday, let me give you 140 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: a list of things that this means for the American people. 141 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: It means that tens of millions of American families will 142 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: struggle to keep food on the table because the SNAP 143 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: program benefits will run dry. It means that wick assistants, 144 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: that's women, infants, in children, the nutrition programs will be 145 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: at risk of running dry. It means that head start centers, 146 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: which serve sixty thousand children nationwide will be at risk 147 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: of closure. Millions of federal workers and we've listed them here. 148 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: Every day you're talking about air traffic controllers and TSA agents, 149 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: and park rangers and border patrol agents, law enforcement around 150 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 3: the country. The stewards of our nuclear arsenal will miss 151 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: their paychecks. Thousands of flights by results will be canceled 152 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: or delayed, while our borders in national security will be 153 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 3: directly jeopardized at a very dangerous moment in world history, 154 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: and our country will lose tens of billions in gross 155 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: domestic product. 156 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: With each passing day the pain gets more real. 157 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: And the Democrats are guaranteeing when they vote to reject 158 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 3: our clean funding resolution. We expect they will do that 159 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: again today for the fifteenth time. They are showing no 160 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: shame whatsoever. 161 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: Now this idea of money lost. There was a story 162 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: that you see it's on the show sheet there at 163 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: Tony Katz dot com that the shutdown is costing sixteen 164 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,599 Speaker 1: billion wait, no, sorry, fourteen sorry, fourteen billion dollars. This 165 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: according to the Congressional Budget Office, that the negative effect 166 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: on the economy, it could lose up to fourteen billion. 167 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: And the argument is now mostly things will come back, 168 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: but not entirely, meaning that let's say it's fourteen billion. Now, 169 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: now you find the government, now what in reduces to 170 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: a billion dollars negative impact? There is still a negative 171 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: impact that takes place. The issue is that you know, 172 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: these people are going to get paid one way or another. 173 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: It's what do they do in the meantime? And so 174 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: as that pain grows, that's where the story gets larger 175 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: when it comes to snap benefits. Well, eventually they'll get 176 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: their snap benefits. What do they do about food? 177 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 5: Now? 178 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: Now, we should not allow ourselves to get into an 179 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: argument that I agree with, by the way, which is 180 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: exactly how many people do we have on food stamps? 181 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: What are we doing to get people off of food stamps? 182 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: Why do we have people so dependent on food stamps? 183 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: And I was sharing this story earlier. This was somebody 184 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: had this interview on the streets of It was Fox five, 185 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: I think in Atlanta. Did you hear this? A reporter 186 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: speaking to a woman on the street. 187 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep it real with you. I get over 188 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 5: twenty five hundred a month in stamps. I sell them 189 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 5: two thousand worth for about twelve to fifteen hundred cash. 190 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 5: That's why everybody's upset. Folks say we're taking advantage, but 191 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 5: that's how we get by. 192 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: And oh now, if someone told me that was some 193 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: kind of AI video, I would believe it, except you 194 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: believe it. There are a lot of people out there 195 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: manipulating the system. Without question, that is happening. The people 196 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: we want to help are the people we want to help. 197 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: The people we want to throw in jail are the 198 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: people we want to throw in jail. We're not going 199 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: to be able to today differentiate between the two, but 200 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: there is no doubt that there are people who we 201 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: want to help, people who need helping, people we should help. 202 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm all in for this, but how many are American 203 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: citizens and how many are not? And how many are 204 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: able bodied? And how many are not? And how many 205 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: are doing things like that? Which is jail is not 206 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: enough as far as I'm concerned. You do that, you 207 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: don't get anything. You better have private charity help you. 208 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: There comes a moment you got to say, we've done 209 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: everything we can. We're done here, We're done here. Thank you. 210 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: That's a crazy story. But how do you tell people, 211 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: you know, hey, things will get better once the government 212 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: gets back open. When they're talking about feeding themselves, feeding 213 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: their kids. That is a real serious issue, as you 214 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: well can understand, and something that is going to put 215 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: even more pressure on Democrats to vote for the continuing resolution. 216 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: But here's where Speaker Johnson does something very interesting. Seeing 217 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: the political opportunity, that's my take, and wanting to further 218 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: engage the idea about the radicalness of the political left 219 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: and engage more damage on what it is they're doing 220 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: to the country. He's like, you know, I brought my 221 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: friends from New York with me because you know, Chuck Schumer, 222 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: he's just trying to do the bidding of the hard left. 223 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: And who is that best represented by zorn Mom Donnie 224 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: the mayoral candidate in New York. Watch Speaker Johnson make 225 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: this now the subject of the shutdown. 226 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: Let me say that again, the Democrat leaders in the 227 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 3: Senate and the House have put their own political survival 228 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: in front of the needs of the American people. 229 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: Exhibit A is Zoron Mamdani. 230 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: New York City, America's largest city, the cradle of capitalism 231 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: that has always been is facing a real crisis right now. 232 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 3: They've got a thirty four year old, unproven, untested socialist 233 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: who looks to be the next mayor. 234 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: He may well be elected. 235 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 3: Mandami winning New York City would be the biggest win 236 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: for the Marxists, the socialist in the history of this country. 237 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: We have to this point, in nearly two hundred and 238 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 2: fifty years, been able to hold off those kinds of ideas. 239 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 3: We've been able to cling to the foundational principles of America, 240 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 3: the ideas of individual freedom and limited government, and the 241 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 3: rule of law and peace through strength, and fiscal responsibility, 242 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 3: and free markets and human dignity. All those things are 243 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 3: in jeopardy when the Marxists take over. And it's the 244 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 3: clearest sign yet that the Democrats radical Marxist wing is 245 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: winning the battle for control of their party. 246 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 2: Look at where the energy is. This should be alarming 247 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: to everyone around the country. 248 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 3: Mamdanie has a course called to defund the police, to 249 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 3: abolish all prisons, to legalize prostitution. He lambassed the New 250 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 3: York New York Police Department as a racist system. And 251 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 3: you might have seen in the media are covering this, 252 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: but there was a new video uncovered from twenty twenty 253 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: three ages two years ago, and he said, quote, we 254 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: have to be clear. When the boot of the NYPD 255 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: is on your. 256 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: Neck, it's been laced by the IDF. 257 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: Look, it's a unique talent to merge one's loathing for 258 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 3: American law enforcement with their loathing for the Jewish people. 259 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 3: But this guy's he's managed to do it. New York 260 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 3: is just the tip of the iceberg. It's not isolated 261 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: to America's largest city. It's other cities as well. Look 262 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: at Seattle, where the leading candidate for mayor is an 263 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 3: open socialist. Look at Minneapolis, where the sitting Socialists mayor 264 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 3: is facing a challenge from his li left flank. And 265 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: look here in Congress, where we have our own wing 266 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 3: of Marxist acolytes serving here. Amazingly, the media is criticizing 267 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: Republicans for fixating on Mom Donnie. I read some of 268 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 3: that yesterday. This socialist uprising is something that we have 269 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 3: a responsibility to call out and sound the alarms. That's 270 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 3: what elected representatives of the people are supposed to do, 271 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: and we take that responsibility seriously. 272 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: He's right about Mom Donnie and the one two punch, 273 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: and he's right about Look who's in Congress. Look who 274 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: they're trying to elect around the country. This is serious stuff. 275 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: It is serious stuff. Tying that a progressive leftist movement 276 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: to the shutdown smart politics. If you ask me now, 277 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to overly confuse people. I don't want 278 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: to overly engage in a connect the dots. You're winning 279 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: on this, keep at it. But there's only so many 280 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: days you can go up there and say, man, I 281 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: wish they'de for the continuing resolution. You have to get 282 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: into the why. And now you're having your you have 283 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: the ability to paint unencumbered paint the Democratic Party as 284 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: commies say the words, look at how crazy they are, 285 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: look at this and what can the what can the 286 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: Democrats do? As long as they keep losing on this shutdown, 287 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: they keep getting painted as a matter of politics, As 288 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: long as it's there's focus. I can't wait to see 289 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: where this goes. Because what Mike Johnson is saying, speaker 290 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: is saying about the leftist progressives is one hundred percent correct. 291 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: Keep it here. This is Tony Kats today.
