1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Live from Vaal Hartber and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: When Joe Biden got elected or whatever happened, oh, I know, 4 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 2: send your emails whatever. 5 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: I said at the time that I had a real. 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 2: Concern that these people were going to bring back the 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: fairness doctrine, the idea that broadcasts have to show both 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 2: sides equally. I don't want the fairness doctrine. It's an 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: affront to free speech. And honestly, there aren't enough Democrats 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 2: to actually be able to interview, and I have no 11 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: plan of putting Marxists on the air, so it might 12 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: be very very very damaging. Okay, I don't do interviews 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: like other people do interviews. 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: I do very very few of them. 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: But still I don't want that stuff, not in the slightest. 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: And now it. 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: Turns out that Republicans are going to move down in 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: this way, head in this direction because they are not 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: smart enough to keep their dad mouse closed. Tony Katz, 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: Tony Kats today, Good to be here, Good to be 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: with you. 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: It's not your radio. 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if the cold came back. I think 24 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: it's allergies. And if you have allergies, a lot of 25 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: people talk about the honey and the bee pollen and whatever. 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: It's in the nose, it's in the head, it's in 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: the ears. My ears are clocked, super weird. I've had 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: allergies before, not like this. This is all sorts of new, 29 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: this whole thing with. 30 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: The so anyway, it's it's not you, it's me. Your 31 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: radio's fine. 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: This whole thing starts with Stephen Colbert because there was 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: this nonsense story that Trump administration said we're gonna come 34 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: after you. What are they going after about? Well, you're 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: gonna have James tall Rico on the show. Who's James 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: tall Rico. He's a Democrat running for Senate in Texas. 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: He's a guy who says that the Bible says clearly 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: that abortion is good. 39 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he is a. 40 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: Radical progressive as well, all they all are. And he 41 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: was supposed to be on Stephen Colbert's show on CBS, 42 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: the one that's going to end this year. Well it 43 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: turns out they did not air it, and they put 44 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: it on on the YouTube. They didn't air it on 45 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: CBS because of equal time. And you're like, what, because 46 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: he doesn't know enough Republicans on No, No, no. It 47 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: turns out that it's because you would have to then 48 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: give time to people like Jasmine Crockett, who was also 49 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: running for Senate. They're in in Texas. But this really 50 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: starts from a conversation that Brendan Carr had, who runs 51 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: the FCC, about the idea of equal time. And at 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: the time, I said, what are you doing? Why are 53 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: we talking about this? So the story is is that, uh, 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: tell Rico, he was making all these claims, Oh, this 55 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 2: is the interview that the Trump administration. 56 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: Didn't want you to see. No, no, no, no, no. 57 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 2: This was CBS that took this concept of the fairness 58 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: doctrine an equal time very very seriously and said, you 59 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: can't have him on the air. If you're not going 60 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: to have these other people on the air, you can't 61 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: do it. 62 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: According to Colbert, CBS. 63 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: Release a statement about the poll James tell Errico interview 64 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: quote without ever talking to me, and he followed it 65 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: up with, I really don't want an adversarial relationship with 66 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: the network. You don't have an adversarial relationship with the network. 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: You're just biding your time and getting paid millions. You 68 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: don't even have an audience. You're a ridiculous person who 69 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: could have been a serious person. 70 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: Forget you. All you had to do was not hate 71 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: half the audience. That's all you had to do. 72 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: If I had a television show, a late night show, 73 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: would I have Democrats on. I would have entertainers on. 74 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: I'd have musicians on. If we disagreed about politics, that 75 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: would be fine. But I would absolutely have these people on, 76 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: no question about it. The more app to go on 77 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: a show like that than they are syndicated radio show. 78 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: But I don't want to be told I have to 79 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: have this person or I can't have that person. What 80 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: CBS said is that the attorneys warned that airing the 81 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: interview would trigger the equal time rule. Now critics say 82 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: that's being used to stifle speech. 83 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm one of them. 84 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: This is an absolutely terrible, terrible idea. Now never mind 85 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: the taller Rico. I think this is how you pronounce 86 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: his last name. Is a liar and is smarmy and 87 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: all that jazz. He has a very very peak booterha 88 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: judge vibe in terms of the smartiness, in terms of 89 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: the thinking he's above it all kinds of stuff. 90 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: Oh, I can't stand it. There's nothing. 91 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: There's just nothing neighborly about that, dude. That's just absolutely zero. 92 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: And so he's trying to make this big deal that 93 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: it's about Trump. It was never about Trump, per se. 94 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 2: Trump didn't make this happen. Trump didn't say you can't 95 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: air that. None of that happened. But yes, there's been 96 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: this conversation about equal time and the fairness doctrine. I 97 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: want you to understand how terrible this all is and 98 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 2: how insane Republicans are if they think that this is 99 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: the way, This is not the way. If CBS wants 100 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 2: to put trash on their network all night long, let them. 101 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: What should happen is people don't watch and they go 102 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: out of business. The market has spoken. Now one could say, well, Tony, 103 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: these are the public airwaves, and there is a responsibility. 104 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: I'm on the public airwaves. There's an issue here, and 105 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: the issue is now, I'm going to be told that 106 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: I can't interview some senator because I'm not interviewing some 107 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: other senator. If I interview one senator from Oklahoma right 108 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 2: where we're on KRMG, the Great Tulsa Powerhouse KRMG. 109 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: If I have Mark Wayemullan on the show, now I 110 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: gotta have James Lank from the show. 111 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: That right, that's the equal time. What if only one 112 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: is available? Now, I can't have the other one, right, 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: I can't have the one that's available because the other one, 114 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: even though they're unavailable, I have to give them both time. 115 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 2: I'm not opposed to the interview of either one. They 116 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: should both be clamoring to get on the show. 117 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: That is not the point. 118 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: And can some Democrat in state government in Oklahom let's say, hey, 119 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 2: this show has on these two Republican senators. They have 120 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: to have me on the show as well or they 121 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: can't interview the two Republican senators. You think this is 122 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: a good idea, This is crazy tone, this is terrible. 123 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: Now people are upset with CBS for falling in line. 124 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: They're upset with CBS for saying, whoa this could create 125 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: an issue for us. Now, I will tell you that 126 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: I do have stations that do concern themselves with equal time. 127 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: They are there have these corporate kind of lack of 128 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: a better word, mandates about it. 129 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: They need to know who's going to be on and when, 130 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: and then they do some kind of math. 131 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: I've never been told by my home station in Indianapolis 132 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: or anybody else you can't do an interview, and I 133 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: would never search for that guidance. 134 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: Ever, I'm the guidance. I decide, and if I can't decide, well, 135 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: and then this whole thing ain't worth doing. 136 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: Now, this might be easier for me because I really 137 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: don't do many interviews, and everyone's noticed. 138 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: It's like, how how do you not do this? 139 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 2: Because you guys know that there are shows out there 140 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: that they do two interviews an hour. Listen, everybody does 141 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: what they do, right, Maybe I'd be more connected if 142 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: I did more interviews. I don't know, but I figure 143 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: we've got things to talk about. Not everything requires an interview. 144 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: We can talk about them. But I don't want this. 145 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: I don't want anyone to be told they have to 146 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: or don't have to right have somebody on the air. 147 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: I want them to decide. Now. 148 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 2: CBS has got its own issues, and they're worried about 149 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of things. So they not only lawsuits 150 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: regarding the mishandling and the selective editing of Kamala Harris, 151 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: but also they take a look at issues they have 152 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 2: in front of the government about by this company or 153 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: doing something else, and they need the government approval, So 154 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: maybe they're being wary of how the government might come 155 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: down on them. I don't think they should. I think 156 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: that they should do the job that they think they 157 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: need to do and do the interviews they think will 158 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: be most engaging to the audience. Now, is a guy 159 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: running for Senate in Texas engaging to the audience. Absolutely not. 160 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: It's an inkind political contribution. And that's the reason to 161 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: be opposed to it. If Stephen Colbert had on the 162 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: senator from Texas, either John Corner or Ted Cruz. Okay, 163 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: they're the actual senator, but candidates, sorry about that. Candidates, no, no, no, no, no, 164 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: ask yourself why Colbert is doing this to begin with. 165 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: It's an in kind campaign contribution. Of course it's wrong, 166 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: And of course Colbert is not a guy who's interested 167 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: in interviews. He's interested solely in narrative and supporting a 168 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: political party. 169 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: It's disgusting. Stephen is gross. 170 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 2: Now there's another story about who Steven is married to, 171 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: and that person is connected to somebody else. 172 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: Who does political maps and. 173 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: Redistricting, right, and there's all these kinds of stories that 174 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: go on out there about who's connected to who, which 175 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: way don't. 176 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't follow this stuff like that. I am. 177 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 2: If somebody wants to go sleuthing and play connect the 178 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: dots and share it with me, man, I'll give you 179 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: all the credit in the world. 180 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: That sounds great. I would love to have a couple 181 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: of those people who are willing. 182 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: You know, there's people who are totally into that that 183 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 2: really can see that way, conception that way. I would 184 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: love to get that kind of assistance and we could 185 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: share it. I still don't want the fairness doctrine, but 186 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 2: we should be perfectly clear that Stephen Colbert is not 187 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: a host. Stephen Colbert is an apparatus to the Democratic Party. Fact, 188 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: anybody wants to debate that, including Stephen Colbert, more than 189 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: willing to debate it, and they will lose the debate because. 190 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: That's what he is. 191 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 2: He has an apparatus and offshoot and arm a vestige 192 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party, and his job is to support 193 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: that party, and he is going to support primary candidates. 194 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: To take on whoever it is you can take on. 195 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: In this case, somebody, it was Cordon, and Cordon's got 196 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: Republican challengers too. Cordon's not super popular. I still think 197 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: he can win Texas, but he's not super popular. I mean, 198 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: he can win the primary Texas, and he wins the primary, 199 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: he's gonna win the general. The primary is gonna be rought. 200 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: I haven't checked every bit of data, but my gut, 201 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 2: I'll go with gut says he can still pull this out. 202 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: It will be close, but you can still pull out 203 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: of primary. You think you think we're gonna see a 204 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: lot of those interviews from from Colbert or Kimmel. Of 205 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: course not. If you want to talk to politicals, you're 206 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,119 Speaker 2: only talking to left leading politicos. 207 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: Well talk radio in the main is only talking to 208 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: right leaning politicals. It's true. It's true. 209 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: By the way, if you wanted me to talk to 210 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: a left leaning political I understand. 211 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: I have no issue with it. 212 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: Who the only guy the two guys right now that 213 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 2: come to mind, Certainly I would do the John Feenderman 214 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: interview at this stage, Henry Quaar of Texas and the 215 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: push that he got, the attacks that he got from 216 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 2: Democrats for being in favor of border control and protection 217 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: of the border, real hard edged Democrats came out against 218 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: him primary him attacking He's a guy I would talk 219 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: to about how want engages a border conversation with the 220 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: political left. What are the objections and responses he gets? 221 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: And how it does How do you crack that code 222 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: with a party that wants to be more anti Trump 223 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: than it wants to be? Hey, what is actually happening? 224 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: And what happens when Trump's out of office? Does the 225 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: anti actually change? 226 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: Like? 227 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: Those are some of the questions I would ask Henry 228 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: Quayar as a matter of fact, producer Landon, let's let's 229 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: reach out to Henry Klayar. Let's try and get him 230 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: on the show. But who else? What other Democrats? You 231 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 2: want me to have Elizabeth Warren on the show? I don't. 232 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have Bernie Sanders on the show now, I would? 233 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 2: I got AOC. I can't see Bernie. I would because 234 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: I mean I could press well on this. 235 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe is it interesting to you? Is it? 236 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: I'm curious now I'm really into it, Like, is it 237 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 2: something that's interesting to you? Would you like that conversation? 238 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: Maybe this is an opportunity to kind of push an opportunity. 239 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 2: But the if the White Hose, if the FCC, if 240 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: the Trump administration it's called, that is going to push 241 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: equal time disaster because then you get into the fairness doctrine. 242 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: Once you get into the fairness doctrine, things change. The 243 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 2: last thing we want is to unearth this kind of legislation. 244 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: So how about this, Let's not let us not. Instead, 245 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 2: let's put more late night shows on TV, late night 246 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: shows on video, more stuff to radio, more stuff to 247 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 2: digital content. 248 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,359 Speaker 1: Let's just do that. Let's just flood the zone. 249 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: With better content that people want to watch and starve 250 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 2: those guys out. I know it's hard when the network 251 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 2: is making all this money from what they're putting out 252 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: on their news product. I get the issue, Tony. How 253 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 2: else do you combat this? It's just like getting rid 254 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: of the filibuster. You can't get rid of the filibuster 255 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: until you know what you're about to push through. Do 256 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: we have ten pieces of legislation ready to go without 257 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: the filibuster, where the whipcouns have already been done and 258 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: you may be have in the house Thomas Massey on board. No, 259 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: then you can't get rid of the filibuster. It's just 260 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 2: that easy. You need a plan, and then you need 261 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: to execute the plan, and no one can deviate from 262 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: the plan. And Republicans don't have that kind of organizational medal. 263 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: So I feel the same way about this. You start 264 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: pushing for the fairness doctrine, bad things come, bad things happen. 265 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: We should not want this. I'm Tony Katz. This is 266 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: Tony Katz today. So six skiers are missing. No, I'm sorry. 267 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: Those are the ones rescued. Nine are still missing. There 268 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: was an avalancheer like Tahoe. I saw this, didn't sleep 269 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: because of this cold. Whatever this thing is Tony Katz, 270 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, I couldn't couldn't make it happen. 271 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: And there was there was this report, the story from. 272 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: The New York Post about how the company that took 273 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: these people on this height, this tour guide company, they're 274 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 2: being slammed because the whole thing was preventable. Two of 275 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: those evacuated hospitalized. This going to Nevada Nevada County Sheriff's office. 276 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: The group of fifteen skiers, initially believed to be sixteen, 277 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: was in a backcountry near the infamous Donnar Summit. I 278 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: have never heard of the Donor Summit. I'm not a skier. 279 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 2: I've never been skiing. I think I might like trying 280 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: it once. I really think I would like the lodge. 281 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. 282 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: That I am a lodge guy. 283 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: The group was in process of returning to the trailhead 284 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: at the conclusion of a three day trip when the 285 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: incident occurred. So this is Castle Peak, which is located 286 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: near Donner Summit and, as reported by News Nation, a 287 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: peak name for a party of pioneers that famously turned 288 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 2: to cannibalism when they were trapped there over the winter 289 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: in eighteen forty six. In eighteen forty seven, I am 290 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: going to stay in the lodge. But it's one of 291 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: those stories where the tour guide should have known that 292 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: conditions weren't right, that there were issues, that they knew 293 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: that they were going to be cut off from people. 294 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 2: They should have immediately come back or never have gone 295 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: at all. We hear about this a lot, we hear. 296 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: I mean, never mind the whole Remember the titan the 297 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: submersible that imploded heading down to the Titanic. How about 298 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: the duck boat? Do they ever remember the duck boat disaster? 299 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: This is a constant thing where people are doing things. 300 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: They're like, God, it'll be fine, because it's always fine. 301 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: What could go wrong? And it makes wonder exactly, how 302 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: does anything even work. 303 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: How do things? How do things possibly work? Everything is 304 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: so unbelievably perilous. And the other question is why do 305 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 2: we do these perilous things? Now I have the answer 306 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: to that, because we have to. You understand that's the case, right. 307 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 2: The reason that we invented fire is that we had to. No, 308 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: we didn't invent fire. We discovered that some things could 309 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 2: create fire. We discovered there was warmth to fire, and 310 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 2: then we discovered fire could burn you and burn. 311 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: Down your entire city. 312 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 2: But still we saw more benefits to fire than not, 313 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 2: and we learned how to harness it into our very 314 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: best ability control it. We have to be the people 315 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: who see what's on the other side of the hill. 316 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: That's what makes us us. It's part of the human condition. 317 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's necessarily part of the reptilian brain, 318 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: but it is part of who we are. We have 319 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 2: to see what's next, We have to see what's out there. 320 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: We have to try so I get this. 321 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: I don't quite understand the people who do the repelling 322 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: off buildings. Did you see on Netflix the guy who 323 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:18,239 Speaker 2: free climbed the building, Well, I'm gonna search for it. 324 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 2: He would no harnesses it was type one oh one, 325 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 2: that's the name of the building. 326 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: Took an hour and thirty one minutes and this guy. 327 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 2: First free, first person, a free solo the sixteen hundred 328 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 2: and sixty seven foot skyscraper without ropes, harnesses or safety gear. 329 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: He climbed up the side of a building. 330 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 2: By the way, they put it on a ten second delay, 331 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 2: so if he fell, you wouldn't see it, which is 332 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: messed up because you know that cover that footage was 333 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: going to get out.

But these enlightened statesmen 501 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 5: will not always be at the helm. 502 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: What can we in that? Good lad, Yes, what can 503 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: we learn from that? Because it seems very similar to 504 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: what's going on today. 505 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely, if the founders would have been surprised. 506 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: I think that it took this long. 507 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 5: For really, really what for what for there to be. 508 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 4: An authoritarian galloping at the highest level? 509 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: That it took what authoritarian galloping? What fear monitoring scare tactic? 510 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 2: Is this what authoritarian courts say? He's not allowed to 511 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: engage in these this deportation, he has to return this person. 512 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 2: He can't do this, he can't do that. He fights 513 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: it in the courts, but he does it. How is 514 00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: that authoritarian? They don't stop. So here is John Meechum, 515 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: the historian, playing the game of the intellectual, pretending and 516 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: lying to the audience, lying completely and dehumanizing Trump and 517 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: anybody who would support him. 518 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: So he thinks it's wrong to do that, and then 519 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: he goes about doing that. 520 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 2: I can say without any hesitation that Representative Alexandria Casio 521 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 2: Cortez is a Marxist and she believes in Marxism and 522 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 2: is supporting Marxism. I can say this about zoronmom Donnie. 523 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 2: I can say this about a host of Democrats, and 524 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 2: then I can quote them. I can show my work 525 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 2: just like I can When you say Trump's an authoritarian, 526 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 2: I say absolutely not. 527 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: What about this, this, this. 528 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 2: And this? I prove the argument false with data, with facts, 529 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 2: with logic, with reason, same way I can prove it 530 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 2: an argument true. 531 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: What authoritarian thing are you talking about here? What authoritarianism? 532 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 2: I was told that Democrats won and Trump capitulated in 533 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 2: Minneapolis because he's withdrawing ice. Does the authoritarian withdraw his 534 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: law enforcement forces? Does the authoritarian withdraw anything like that? 535 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 2: And the answer is, of course not. So what are 536 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 2: we talking about? How can two things be at the 537 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 2: same time.
