1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Why from ball Heartland and the Crossroads of America.

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today about the state of.

3
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: The Democrat Party when they have a thirty three favorability

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: rating on average in recent months, and they're willing to

5
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: shut down the government over our healthcare. They're shutting it down.

6
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: We're not shutting it down.

7
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 4: We don't want it to shut down because we have

8
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 4: the greatest period of time ever. I tell you, we

9
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 4: have seventeen trillion dollars being invested. So the last person

10
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 4: that wants to shut down is us.

11
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: Now.

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 4: With that being said, we can do things during the

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 4: shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 4: irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out,

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 4: cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like.

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: And you know, you all know Russell though.

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: He's become very popular recently because he can trim the

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 4: budget to a level that you couldn't do any other way.

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: So they're taking a risk by having a shutdown because

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 4: because of the shutdown, we can do things medically and

21
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 4: other ways, including benefits. We can cut large numbers of people.

22
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: We don't want to do that, but we don't want fraud, waste,

23
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 4: and abuse, and you know we're cutting that, but they

24
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 4: want to have illegal aliens come into our country and

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 4: get massive healthcare at the court everybody else and we

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: don't have it. And that's I would say the number

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 4: one reason that they want to strike is to get

28
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: illegal immigrants health care.

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: And you know Gavin Newsom.

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: Wants that too in California and it's destroying California.

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: We discussed this earlier that if the Democrats want to

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: shut it down, they can, but they're the ones who

33
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: lose out. They're the ones who are going to lose

34
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: out on programs and another one who are gonna lose

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: out on people because you can fire all these people,

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: which they've already been preparing for. And then if when

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: the shutdown's done, you want to hire people back, you

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: don't hire those people, you hire your people. You can

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: remake the government that way. And I want to be

40
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: on the record I want the people to stay fired.

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: I want to do more with much much much much

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: much much less. And then I want to reduce a

43
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: good I don't know, let's just call it eight hundred

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: and forty two programs. You say to me, Tony, do

45
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: you have a list of eight hundred and forty two programs,

46
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: and I'll say to you, not yet, but if you

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: give me thirty days, I'll find you eight hundred and

48
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: forty two programs that have no business being in existence. Again,

49
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: I will tell you Doge is a good idea. We

50
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't stop because not everything went perfect. We should keep

51
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: going because we don't have an option. Tony Katz, Tony

66
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: President trump's speaking at this press conference about the lowering

67
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: of insurance, costs announcing that a there's a deal With

Speaker 1: pfizer for a lowering of prescription drug price, prices, saying,

69
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: quote this is a result of The Most Favored Nation

Speaker 1: Drug Pricing order that we established earlier this. Year now

71
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: we're going to be paying whatever the lowest price. Is

72
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: And President trump said prices would come down. IMMEDIATELY i

73
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: not a fan of, this and the idea of forced

74
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: price reductions.

75
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: Very much a Non american thing to.

76
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: Do the argument would come back to me that we

77
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: are seeing an abuse of the system.

78
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: That increased costs For.

79
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: AMERICANS i would say to, you to those people who

80
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: make that, ARGUMENT i would, Say, okay then go about

81
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: right now changing that.

82
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: System i'm.

83
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: In let us change the regulatory, environment let us change

84
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: other environments that allow for any level of. Abuses let's

85
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: make those changes through legislation right. Now let's go and

86
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: let us out those people who somehow think that what

87
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: we have going on right now is just. Fine wouldn't

88
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: this be something that could be bipartisan in, nature That

89
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: republicans conservatives could get the win on for leading the

90
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: charge and all of us be better. Off the idea
