WEBVTT - Tony Katz Today Full Show - 08/10/26 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:10.200 Why from Vall, heart Blind and the Crossroads of America. 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:21.880 It's Tony Katz today. We're talking low key ladies and gentlemen, 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.360 which may or may not be different than a war 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:30.480 on the down low. I don't actually know if there 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.760 is a difference. I do know that a low key 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:39.400 war is not actually a thing. I mean, if you 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.600 just want to sit there and keep up the economic 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:48.279 sanctions and slowly starve around, you can. But these are 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:56.840 people who are fine with being starved. They're fine with 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.600 waiting you out. They've actually said they're fine with waiting 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.480 you out. Maybe that's their whole plan, the belief that 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.520 they can, the belief that it's no problem, no issue, 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.440 they can last, because the United States can't last. Isn't 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.399 that their game? Isn't that their approach? The United States 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:21.319 can't handle the idea that somehow oil prices will go up. 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.760 I think we can. I just think you have to 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.280 sell people on the idea, something that President Trump. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.640 Did not do. 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.080 It's amazing the amount of things that could have been 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.880 thwarted in all of this if the White House had 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:42.120 just done the basics. But dear Lord, we actually think 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.920 that low key is a thing, and if it is 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.240 a thing, exactly how does it work? 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:47.520 I'm a man with questions. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.400 And while Axios is talking about low key, how about 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.000 the Wall Street Journal with a story that doesn't connect 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.960 at all? I'm gonna break this down for you. Tony Katz, 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.600 Tony Kats Today, Good to be with you, guys. Find 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.160 everything I do at Tony kats dot com, live streaming 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.160 on YouTube and rumble Tony Katz. Just look for Tony 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.960 Kats Tony Kats Today and get in there, get in 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.840 the chatroom. Good to see everybody. As everything's building up 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:17.160 and people are piling in. Axios reported that President Trump's 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:21.440 plan is to be low key. We are only seven 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.079 negotiating with them. We are just watching around with its 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.280 huge inflation and the fact that they have no money. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:27.680 Their economy has been. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.280 In bad shape for forever. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:34.080 It hasn't stopped them from engaging in bombings of US bases. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:40.000 Can the strategy, the siege mentality actually work, Sure it can, 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:46.520 of course it can. But anytime the Iranian regime feels uppity, 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.519 are you okay with taking a series of bombs in 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.200 a series of drones to a base in Jordan or 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.640 to an area in Kuwait or somewhere in Saudi Arabia, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.760 et cetera. That's the question. Low key, that's what you said. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:05.200 If that's so low key means okay, that's low key 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.079 all of this. So you can possibly keep the strait 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.480 somewhat open. As long as oil is under seventy five 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.560 dollars a barrel, everything's going to be all right. That's 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.919 not the right approach, mister president. By the way, oil 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.200 is at eighty one dollars and fifteen cents a barrel, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:27.680 So again, not the right approach. And I know what 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.680 you're saying, Tony. You got to give the president time. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.360 You don't understand he's playing nine D chess. Sometimes the 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.680 man can just be wrong. Can I help you? The 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.160 people out there are like Senator Chris Murphy and others, 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.080 these progressives who want to see America lose. They're amongst 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.800 the most disgusting people on planet Earth. The President isn't 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.160 approaching this right, and you got to stop pretending that 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.880 he is. You got to stop loving on him so much, 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.800 doting on him so much that you don't look at reality. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.440 Would you cut it out? I get the argument the. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.720 Press never notices when their guy is falling apart Joe Biden, 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.520 as Hunter Biden describes, it has prostate cancer and it 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:14.560 has spread. It should be understood that Democrats were willing 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.320 to lie to let that guy be president. He'd be 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.400 dying in the Oval Office right now. They didn't care. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:29.040 They didn't care near a tandent and caringe John Pierre 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.640 and all the rest. They didn't give a good HOLI 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.400 damn you think Kamala Harris gave a damn. They needed 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.520 that debate to happen more than oxygen to move him out. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.800 They would have let this happen to the country anything 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.200 for power reason number nine. But Jillian, why, I'm not 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.880 one of them. I'm not gonna be somebody who looks 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.080 at the way Trump is handling this war and say, hey, 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.760 he's he's got a maneuver in a plant. You just 0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:00.680 watch how this all works out. I'm watching. It's not 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.960 working out the way I would like. Hey, look, if 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.120 the president wants to continue to go down this road, 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.480 he can. You want to deal with an idea of 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:15.359 economic pressure and low key, you knock yourself out, go 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:20.600 right ahead, But don't tell me about negotiations anymore. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.080 Don't tell me about any of it. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.560 Don't put Scott Besen out there to lie, to mean, 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.920 don't put jd Vance out there to be ridiculous. And 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.240 when it comes to foreign policy, don't do it. I 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.800 want to see you win. I don't know why you 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.240 don't want to see you win. I don't know why 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:39.040 you want. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.600 This this way. We should be clear. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.320 That there are no deals to be made. So if 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:45.880 you keep telling me, old man, they want to make 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.680 a deal so badly, it's a lie. 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.440 Stop lying. Stomp it. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.040 How dare you, tony? President Trump is the guy who 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.200 makes the deals. That's what he does. He makes deals. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.720 There's no deal to make. Why not grow up? Stop 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:03.239 being ridiculous, Stop being in the cult, stop buying into 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:08.280 the colon. No better than all these lefties who told 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.320 me that Joe Biden was of good health. Same garbage. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:16.200 Not interested in the garbage. There's no deal to be made. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.200 There's no one to make a deal with. I have 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.840 been somebody discussing that when you were talking about the 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:29.200 Iranian regime. These are people who want the caliphate right, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.120 they want they are Islamists and they want to see 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.680 a total take over, total control. Somebody had written it 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:41.440 was a really really good piece about the idea that 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.640 and I can't remember they're on substack and I can't 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.560 remember their name. It's killing me that what if it 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.679 isn't about that. It is about power, but a different 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.240 kind of power. It's about staying in power for survival. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.800 That if we were to take a look at the 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.560 Iranian regime and see how fractured it is, there's nobody 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.359 making decisions there. And we've already discussed this because the 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:10.720 people making the decisions are the members of the IRGC, 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.480 the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Court. But the IRGC is not 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.040 working in tandem and concert with each other. They're their 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.880 own factions, their own fiefdoms. That seems obvious too that 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.560 what we have had happen here is that because of 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.400 the bombings that we have done, which. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.800 Have been successful, let's not kid ourselves. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.320 Don't believe the Chris van Hollins or the Chris Murphy's 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.280 or any of these beta male progressives, we have done 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.760 great damage to Iran. To say otherwise is laughable in 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:48.160 its ignorance. And what we have done is we have 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.600 eliminated the ability for a singular person to be a 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.480 person of power, and so Therefore, the idea of a 0:07:55.560 --> 0:08:00.400 leader or leadership as a whole has been replaced by 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:05.200 what I guess one could call faction. We're dealing with 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.240 a group of IRGC members over here, in a group 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.280 of IERGC members over there, and on, then there's this 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.120 group over there, and then there's that guy over there. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:11.920 He's just nuts. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.880 Nobody even talks to that guy, and they're all acting 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.239 in their own best interests to be able to create 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:24.080 their own wants. Some of these wants are about power 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.880 and control and money. Some of these wants are about power, control, money, 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:34.680 and the caliphate. Not everybody may be connected on that 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.520 ideological tip when it comes to survival, so they all 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.960 act in independent ways in order to best achieve this. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.640 Then there are those parts of the IRGC that are 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.200 working with those outside of Iran to be able to 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.480 move sanctioned oil to them to get sold, as we 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.920 saw from someone in Turkey making millions. 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.000 Of dollars that way. 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.400 A lot of people working in a lot of different areas, 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.560 all for their own interests, and none of those interests 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.640 involved making a deal with the United States. Who cares 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.520 about that money's made the other way, the other side, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:13.400 that doesn't matter, especially if you're gonna calculate that Trump's 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.880 gonna be all low key on the thing and nobody 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.959 is going to wake up to find that they've been 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.880 bombed to death. No beepers are going to go off, 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.560 no buildings are going to explode. There's gonna be no 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.920 guided missiles or drones from the Israelis. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:29.880 Nah. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.280 Now, there's no pressure at all. There's money to be 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:39.600 made until there's not until they are stopped, until they 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:44.280 are thwarted. There is no doubt that the Iranian desire 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.840 is the end of the United States and Israel. But 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.240 if we get a little more granular, they could argue 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.400 that the desire is to get rid of the United 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.640 States and Israel, or certainly US or Israeli power in 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.480 the region, so they can. 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.439 Be the power in the region. And when you're the. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.079 Power in the re and you could set your own 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.640 price for everything. If you think Iran is a problem 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.280 without a nuclear weapon, imagine them with a nuclear weapon. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.120 Which is why when we go back to Tucker Carlson, 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.559 or we go back to Marjorie Taylor Green or Thomas Massey, 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.439 none of them are America. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.320 First. They're so full of crap. 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:19.400 It is to be believed. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.800 They're full of it. They're not America first. 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.600 If you don't believe in ending this regime, you are 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:30.600 non America first. Now I don't know how other people 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:35.760 define America first. I define it as us over the terrorists. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.680 I didn't know that that was such a huge stretch. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.880 But Oran never did anything to us. We shouldn't bother 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.120 with them. This is a forever war. That is Marjorie 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:53.959 Taylor Green is the Karen of her generation. She might 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.559 as well be a leftist wine mom from the suburbs. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.760 Oran never did anything to us. It is an argument 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:09.080 too stupid to actually be taken seriously. Taking out the 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:14.000 regime matters. It's my take. I don't think low key 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.840 does that. I think it actually allows them to figure 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.600 out other ways to profit and to be a problem. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.960 Now we could take in another direction, and we could 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.600 discuss the fact that their economy is cracking. They have 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.800 massive problems. We do have huge economic sanctions. We've applied 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.640 massive economic pressure. Maybe we shouldn't have given them any 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:37.280 money when we signed the memorandum of understanding. And certainly 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.880 we can't listen to the Wall Street Journal when they say, oh, 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.679 the Iranians wanted one hundreds of billions of dollars in 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.040 order to reopen the straight. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.120 This is their argument. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:52.880 This was the Wall Street Journal headline, and it read 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.160 Trump thought opening the Straight of Hormuz was imminence. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.240 Iran had other plans. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:07.000 Start with the baseline, don't you ever take an article 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:12.520 from the Wall Street Journal at face value, especially an 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:19.320 article that only discusses sources. Senior aids, I don't know 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:25.559 what their sources are. I must tell you that I 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:30.560 don't know what their sources are. For weeks, President Trump 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.040 has been laying the groundwork to declare victory in Iran 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:39.480 should Tehran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even floating 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.920 the idea privately to Senior AIDS that he's willing to 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:48.080 walk away without a nuclear deal. At that moment, I stopped. 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.280 I have always known, like you've always known, the President 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.079 Trump could declare victory at any time. He'll call anything 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.920 he wants victory. This is nothing new. We are people 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.040 who understand the two rules of trump. The first rule 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.840 of Trumpism is Trump wins. The second rule of trumpsm 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:05.679 is that a deal can always be made as long 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.240 as it adheres to the first rule of TRUMPSM. We 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.920 know this, we're all down for this, we understand it. 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.000 Walk away without a nuclear deal. 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.280 But he can't do that. He said, uh Aaran will 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.080 never have a nuclear weapon. This is a legacy he's 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.880 talking about here. He's willing to tarnish the whole legacy 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:31.960 by allowing them to enrich uranium. So we're clear, he 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:36.360 leaves the area and they start enriching uranium, legacy, shot 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.960 to hell, John, I don't care what his supporters say. 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:41.440 I don't care what he says. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.560 I would laugh in his face. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:53.079 No legacy if they enrich uranium, if they rebuild a centrifuge. 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:54.040 None. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.240 So no, he can't be willing to leave even if 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.240 they have a nuclear weapon or the ability to make 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.800 a nuclear weapon. Now you say to me, Tony, I 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.640 thought he obliterated their nuclear capability at Naton's at Fourdeaux 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:14.400 and Isfahan. That's what he said. Words coming back to 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.960 haunt him because he couldn't keep his powder dry on 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:21.000 the subject. Oh please, don't get me wrong in my frustration, 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.720 don't get me wrong in my pleasure of seeing those 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.040 three areas bomb da hell. 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.960 Making it more difficult. This is a good thing. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.040 I supported it, then I support it now, and I 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:40.080 say bravo. But don't say obliterated and then come back 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:41.800 to the idea that you got to keep doing it. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.640 Don't double speak and triple speaking and talk about deals 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.600 and all the jazz. You just sounds ridiculous and you're 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:55.920 making yourself look look weak. You are, you are, But 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.920 I am not about to buy into these The story 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:05.680 this reporting from the Wall Street Journal that Iran has 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.880 got all the cards and they want hundreds of billions 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.600 of dollars in the US to pull out and then 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.160 they'll open the straight Because Trump is so desperate for 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.640 lower oil prices that'll do anything going into the midterms. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.600 I could argue that he's willing to let things sit 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.880 for a few months until the midterms are over and 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.160 try and have fairly okay oil prices. They could argue 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.040 that's even a strategy. I could argue that the low 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:34.480 key and just waiting them out economically is a strategy. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:40.160 It's not a strategy for the long term. Walking away 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.080 is not a strategy. Low key is not a strategy 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:47.120 for the long term. In the end, the deal doesn't 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.360 have to be made with Iran. The deal has to 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.000 be made with Saudi Arabia and Bakrain and the UAE 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.240 and Jordan. They are the ones who have to get 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:01.200 this problem done with because it's theirs. Just like we 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.120 made Russia NATO's problem. We have to make Goran the 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.960 Middle East problem. They have to handle it. We were 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.760 discussing this last week and I'm more and more convinced 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.960 that this is the right course. You have to get 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.880 them out, you have to get the regime ount and 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.800 that's the deal that the President has to make. But 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.520 if he walks away with them being able to even 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:32.000 think about a nuclear weapon, that is legacy shattered and 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.440 not Trump's want. This is Tony Katz today. I'll keep 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.360 it in the military family and talk about this leaker, 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:47.120 the story of this secretary where the Pentagon has accused 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.040 the former Secretary of I believe secutary of the Air 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:56.160 Force of leaking information about Air Force one, Tony Katz. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:17:00.640 Tony Katz today an absolute pleasure. Sean Park now as 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.880 Pentagon spokespersons that effective immediately, the Department of Wars revoked 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.639 former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendal's eligibility for 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:11.040 access to classified information and his ability to hold any 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:16.000 sensitive position. This action follows his unauthorized disclosure of classified 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:23.480 information regarding Airport one's capabilities to a media outlet. Safeguarding 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.000 classified information is a non negotiable duty. Well, that's correct, 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.560 that is absolutely correct. Now this goes back to Trump 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.120 and the administration putting out a subpoena for New York 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.680 Times journalists because the New York Times, remember we talked 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.440 about this at the press conference when the President was 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.160 in Turkey, he was in Achera, and we're like, are 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.160 they trying to get him killed by talking about air 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:49.520 Force one? And why aren't you doing this? And why 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.719 aren't doing that? What's wrong with air Force one? What 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:58.040 were they doing? Because they reported that the new seven 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:02.040 seven gifted by Katar was swapped out because of a 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:07.600 security precaution, and then the reporters were like, well it 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:12.040 wasn't retrofitted with sufficient security measures, and then there are 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.160 questions about whether it had the proper missile defense systems 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:21.840 and other modifications. If that information was leaked out, yeah, goodbye, 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.960 and I think it should be jail time. And then 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:26.679 of course we asked the question, it's one thing to 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.919 have the information, it's another thing to report the information. Yes, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.439 in a world, in a nation of free speech, not 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.120 a world of free speech, the reporter can report they. 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.520 Didn't get it through any illicit mean got the information? 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:44.600 Should they? Well that's a conversation for a bourbon But 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.040 it's not enough to just take away the classified opportunities 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:52.080 of the leak or they've got to be charges, they 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:56.159 got to be put through hell and then some in 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:01.720 a very very large scale way. Leaking information is just 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.040 not acceptable on any level. And we need to go 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.359 after leakers with everything in us. And they have to suffer. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:13.760 They have to suffer terribly. Absolutely, they have to suffer, 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:19.200 and so they should. Oh, we never should have taken 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.720 the plane from Qatar, and the idea that we would 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.439 fly at air Force one that doesn't have all the 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:29.400 proper safety protocols criminally insane. If indeed that's the way 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:34.760 it flew. Uh representative of COSU Cortez wants to change 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.760 the game. Keep it here. This is Tony Cox today. 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:43.720 Nothing says everything is going super well for the political left. 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.679 Nothing says everything is going super well. That's not what 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:53.560 I wanted. Nothing says, as things repeat themselves, everything is 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.920 going super well for Tony Tony Katz today, guys a pleasure. 0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:58.760 Sorry about that. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.320 Uh, nothing says everything is going super well for the 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:11.160 political left, like Joe Scarborough on MS now screaming at Democrats. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:12.520 But please, I. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:17.280 Don't need people telling me, oh, you have to just 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.399 turn a blind eye to people saying that women getting 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:25.200 rate on October seventh didn't matter in the grand scheme 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.760 of things that no Americans aren't going to support that. 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:29.919 This is not about me. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:32.000 This is about the. 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.919 Democrats once again fumbling the football on the two yard 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:40.440 line when they have a chance to make great gains 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:42.159 but being so woke. 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:43.320 I don't know if you want to. 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.199 Call it woke one, woke two, or woke three, but 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.920 being too woke to call out the obvious. 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:55.280 I swear to God, it's really it's crazy that we're 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:56.960 even having this conversation. 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:03.720 He's yelling, and I think he's yelling because he understands 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:09.600 that the madness is coming from inside the house and 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.840 it's going to cost them the midterms. Now, I'm going 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.919 to dig into this in a little bit, what the 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.800 numbers say versus what the reality says. But what is 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:19.520 he talking about? 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.959 Woke one, woke two, woke three, So glad you woke. Asked. 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:32.840 This was Alexandria A Cassio Cortes. 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:40.600 She was on with Jonathan Carl on ABC. 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.000 And it should be understood that this is, I believe, 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:51.320 the first time she has done a sit down TV interview, 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:58.280 network interview. I think in two years, you. 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:01.880 Understand that she sees herself and it can't. 0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:03.679 Have been two years, could have been two years. She 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:07.760 sees herself as a presidential contender. There's a twenty twenty 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:17.719 eight conversation about alexandri Acatio Cortez. There's a Senate conversation. 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.879 She could run against Chuck Schumer and send him packing. 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:22.960 That much I believe could happen. I think the presidency 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.800 thing is still kind of dreamy, which is to say, 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:28.640 a dream for her, a nightmare for the rest of us. 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.879 But she said this. She's talking to Jonathan Carl on 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.639 ABC and she said this, by the. 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:40.760 Way, just a quick definitional thing. What in your mind 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.919 is the difference between socialism and communist Oh oh. 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:45.800 Wait, wait, wait wait, I'll get to this. 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.000 I will get to this, but I need to get 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:54.159 to where she's talking about. Woke one, did you or 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:57.880 did you not hear about this where she's talking about 0:22:58.160 --> 0:22:59.600 woke one point. 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:03.280 Oh, it's a true thing. Here here she is. 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:08.159 Right here, and we'll play it all. I'll get to it, 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.840 I promise. Let's start where we start. 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:15.360 So you have Wisconsin coming up next, Francesca Hong, who 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:21.760 is the Democratic Socialist of America supporting candidate for governor. 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:23.919 Are you you haven't endorsed her? Are you going to? 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:25.720 No, I haven't endorsed in that race. 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:29.399 My focus has been in winning back to Congress, winning 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:32.919 back the House, and positioning ourselves to have the best 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:37.440 chance possible to win the Senate. So I've been focused 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:39.080 on those legislative What do. 0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:41.120 You make of those controversial statements. I'm sure you've seen. 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:45.400 I mean, she's you know, the Thanksgiving dust up, she says, 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.399 she doesn't you know, still believe that. But you know 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:52.919 the abolished prisons, abolished police, which is also positions that 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:55.760 have been taken by a lot of the progressive candidates 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.840 who have won. How do you get around that? Yeah, 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.600 not positions that are by right. 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.080 I mean I think that a lot of these races, 0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:08.720 even right now, they'll have a tendency to be nationalized. 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:14.720 But these races ultimately are local and all politics are local. 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:20.040 My understanding is that is that Francesca Hang has made 0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.560 clear her present stances. 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.880 To her leg moved away from one, right, she's. 0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:26.800 Moved away from it. And I have. 0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:32.320 A local city councilman that has this saying woke one 0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:32.960 was crazy? 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:42.480 Oh my woke one? What is woke one? 0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:43.880 And what the bloody hell. 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:45.719 Is woke too? And are we on woke tour? Are 0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:46.480 we on woke three? 0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:51.720 Or four? I can't keep up. First, all politics are 0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:57.560 local is a very true statement, right. We don't question 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:02.879 whether or not we agree with the statement all politics 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:06.560
