I've never been mad at them. 13 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: It's that when you're unwilling to say, yep, that was 14 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: a mistake, well, that creates serious issues, massive problems. Let 15 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: me give you an example. You guys know was talking 16 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: about the post from from from Donald Trump about about 17 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: Rob Runger, and you guys know that I was like, yeah, 18 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not down with that. I'm not down 19 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: with with that post at all. I thought it was ridiculous. 20 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: I thought it was unnecessary. I thought it was stupid, 21 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: and what I thought was is that it absolutely took 22 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: away from the focus that was necessary. I was on 23 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: Newsmax last night there with Carl Higbee. It's been very 24 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: nice to me, and I greatly appreciate it. And here's 25 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: how he introed the segment. 26 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: Like, look, let's just refresh everybody's memory here. We call 27 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,639 Speaker 2: me krass whatever you want. But I kind of agree 28 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: with him, he said, A very sad thing happened last 29 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a torture and struggling but 30 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away. 31 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: He was murdered together with his wife, Michelle Quote, reportedly 32 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: due to the anger he caused others through his massive, 33 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known 34 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: as Trump derangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. He 35 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: was known to have driven driven people crazy by his 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious 37 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all 38 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: goals and expectations of greatness. May Rob and Michelle rest 39 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: in peace, like he said it with all due respect, okay, 40 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: and like he never said he deserved to die or 41 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: any of the stuff that the liberal media is blowing 42 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: the mind. Rob Reiner like, I have no love loss 43 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: for the guy. I didn't like him when he was alive. 44 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say anything nice about him in 45 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: his death. 46 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: I think that's fine. I think it's fine to say, 47 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: like we have said as politics repugnant, the abusiveness, the lies, 48 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: the aggressiveness, all of it, all of it. But the 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: post from Trump was crazed. The guy is murdered by 50 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: his son, who has a long history of drug abuse, 51 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: a long history in and out of rehab, a long 52 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: history of being a homeless clearly mentally ill. It's not 53 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: about you he led his son to. This is a 54 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: nuts thing to say, an absolutely nutty thing to say. 55 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: So so Carl has has me on and case Smith 56 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: on and Kay is agreeing with him, and then I 57 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: come on, I'm. 58 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, no, die, whatever the context is, but I 59 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: just yeah, it just kind of breaks my heart in 60 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: so many different ways that it will have to happen. 61 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: I love you both, but you're both wrong on this one. 62 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: This isn't about whether or not you liked Rob bryn Er. 63 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: I didn't like his politics. I didn't think he was 64 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: a good person. I thought that he lied. This is 65 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: about whether or not President Trump makes it more difficult 66 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: than everybody else who defends him on all the other things. 67 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: Don't make it more difficult on representatives and reelection in 68 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 1: the midterms are tough enough. Don't make it tough enough 69 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: on senators. Stop making it difficult, mister president. It's as 70 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: simple as that, I need to win and I need 71 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: nothing in my way, and if that means a personality 72 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: needs to get subdued for half a second on social 73 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: media so we can have a clearer path to discussing 74 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: an economic message, what's coming down the pike, what's been 75 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: happening with the border. Saying no defense at all, then 76 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm all in, don't get in my way of the victory. 77 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: You do make a good point. However, for people like me, 78 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, at least he's genuine and it's not 79 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 2: gonna change my vote. So you do make a good point, though, 80 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: and I think he's right about that. I think Carl 81 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: brings up an excellent point. I think we both did. 82 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: I you know me, I don't want anything in the 83 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: way Carl's point is the guy who's Trump supporter is 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: going to continue to be a Trump supporter. Absolutely true, fact, 85 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: it's genuine. This is who he is. I know what 86 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: I voted for. I concur but the lack of focus 87 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: can mean a lack of victory in the midterms and 88 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: I need those which brings us now back to Susie Wiles. 89 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 4: Why in the world, Why in the world is she 90 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 4: doing this interview with Vanity Fair On what planet did 91 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 4: you think you'd be able to trust these people? 92 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: There's no planet. There's no way. I don't believe you. 93 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: If you say, well, they seem trustworthy, well that's nuts, 94 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: that's insane. How could you think for a moment that 95 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: they were possibly trustworthy? And then you've got Trump coming 96 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: out there to say, well, you know, Susu Willas isn't wrong. 97 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: I do have an alcoholics personality. I'm sorry, what now? Now, 98 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: if you don't know the story of President Trump. President 99 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: Trump does not drink. He absolutely does not drink. His 100 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 1: brother was an alcoholic died from it, and he said, 101 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not going to do this. I'm not going 102 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: to go down this road. So he does not drinks. 103 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: He has discussed this many times, and in this conversation 104 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: talking to The New York Post saying that, you know, 105 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: he said, I have a very good chance. I'd have 106 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: a very good chance of being an alcoholic. I've said 107 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: that about many times about myself. I do. It's a 108 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: very possessive personality that he has, and you know it 109 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: talks about being an expert on big personalities. That is 110 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: something to know about yourself. Interestingly, for years, I did 111 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: not gamble. I did not gamble, and I didn't gamble 112 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: because I felt like I would like gambling a whole bunch, 113 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: like a crazy, silly, ridiculous amount, and so I didn't 114 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: do it. Now what's interesting is having having built this 115 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: career and having some solidness, like it turns out that 116 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: because I've gone with friends, like I've going to Vegas 117 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: and whatever with Fingers Maloy, who I do eat drink 118 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: smoke with eat drinksmokeshow dot com, I've been able to 119 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: go and do that with him. He's a video poker dude. 120 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: And what I said next to him, do that and 121 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: win lose whatever I can walk away. I didn't know 122 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: that about myself. I always concern myself with the idea 123 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: of if I start, maybe I'm going to get too 124 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: into this. That was always my concern. I look at 125 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: it now and I'm like, maybe I just always felt 126 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: that if I lost money, I would be so bothered 127 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: by losing the money that I didn't really have to lose, 128 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: that I'd want to think that I could get it back. 129 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: And I think that's more of it that I could 130 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: see myself going down that rabbit hole. And now I 131 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: have a budget and if I if I, if I 132 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: lose it, Okay, I lost it. I had a good time. 133 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm done, and it is pretty interesting. It's so so 134 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: was it addictive personality or was it just age and 135 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: circumstance gave me a different perspective on the on the thing. 136 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: But if I had was still you know, not spending 137 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: a couple bucks on video poker, by the way I have. 138 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: It's been over a year or it's been a year 139 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: since I've been in Vegas, and I haven't been like, 140 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: oh man, I can't wait to get back. I got 141 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: to get all the going back, but not to gamble. 142 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: Still didn't Campbell. So it's it is interesting that I've 143 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: come to maybe a better level of terms with that 144 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: but I do think there are people who absolutely know, 145 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: you know what, It's better if I don't even try. 146 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: It's better if I don't go down that road. I 147 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: think that that's true, and I think it's a really 148 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: good thing for someone to have that been a perspective 149 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: of you know what, I'd probably be okay, but let's 150 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: not find out. I absolutely positively dig that, And I 151 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: think that's good on President Trump to know himself in 152 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: that way. But having to go out there and discuss this. 153 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: Wouldn't it been better if Susie Wiles didn't do the interview. 154 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be better if Susie Wiles didn't give the 155 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: left any ammunition at all? Why do it? What's the 156 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: point of it all? That's the question, And the answer 157 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: is there's no point. What there is is a lack 158 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: of focus. And I want focus. I demand focus. I 159 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: want to win the midterms. I want to be able 160 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: to engage the proper fight. I want to be able 161 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: to explain to America why Obamacare has to go, and 162 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: I want to be able to replace it. And I 163 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: don't want to extend Obamacare subsidies, and I want to 164 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: discuss why it's important we get rid of fense and 165 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: all and why it is we deal with Venezuela in 166 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: a very strong way, and how we deal with the 167 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: communist threat of the Chinese and don't let those students 168 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: into our universities. I got a million things that I 169 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: want to discuss with clarity and with focus, And what 170 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: do I have instead stupid tweets and Susie Wiles's interviews. Ah, 171 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: it was almost Howard Dean. It was close. It was 172 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: close to Howard Dean's style. Screaming drives me nuts, and 173 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: it does. And I get that people get angry with me. 174 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: I'm willing to stand up to them without questions, say yeah, 175 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: but you're wrong on this one. The only thing that 176 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: matters is focus. Yeah, well, this is what they say 177 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: about Trump. I didn't say Trump couldn't say anything. I'm 178 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: not saying Trump has to like the guy. I'm saying, 179 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: don't get in your own way, don't trip over your stuff, focus, win, 180 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: handle your business, and help people win who you need 181 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: to keep you from being impeached. I can't believe this 182 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: has to be discussed. I can't believe I have to 183 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: explain it. 184 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 5: Oh. 185 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: I have been called names on social media. I can't 186 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: say on radio. And to all those people, you ain't tough. 187 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: You do know how to win, you know how to 188 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: get there. Good God, don't lose focus, secure border, peace deals, 189 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: lower taxes coming with the one big beautiful bill, investments coming. 190 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: You see that focus. It's good, it's very fair. You 191 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: want to do something fun by Greenland, don't do interviews 192 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: with Vanity fair because it can't help you. And the 193 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: fact they didn't know that criminally insane, crazy crazy. Don't 194 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: put out stupid tweets about Rob Reiner that Trump derangement syndrome. 195 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: Let the people around him to kill him. It's gross, 196 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: it's stupid, that's all. Don't do it. So with that, 197 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: the story goes away, right, and we're back on to 198 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: the to the other things. And that's always true. These 199 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: stories don't last long. We've got bigger fish to fry, 200 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: like who killed Ella Cook? That's the student at Brown 201 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: University who was killed seemingly targeted. And of course, what 202 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: is going on with the president's speech regarding the primetime address. 203 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 1: This is gonna be about Venezuela, is it's gonna be 204 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: about the economy? What's that all about? But anything that 205 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: takes away from focus is a problem. Man. It drives 206 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: me crazy. I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz Today. 207 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: What happens when a society dumbs itself down to the 208 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: point of no return? Well, what happens is that in 209 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: the UK a Twitter a user gets sentenced to jail 210 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: for a post made on the app Tony Katz, Tony 211 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: Katz Today, good to be with you. The story here 212 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: is that Luke Yarwood received an eighteen month sentence after 213 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: tweeting in the wake of a Christmas market attack in Germany. 214 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: That was December of twenty twenty four. Now you might 215 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: say to me Antoni, wasn't there just a Christmas market 216 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: attack happening somewhere else? Actually it was foiled of the 217 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: one in Poland. A planned Islamic state mass terror attack 218 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: at a Christmas market in Poland was thwarted by Poland's 219 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: Special Services. Again, Islamists trying to kill Christians. They killed Jews, 220 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: they try to kill Christians. It's Islamists, It's what they do. 221 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: And to say that we are not able to talk 222 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: about that because that's somehow anti Muslim. They're anti Muslim. 223 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: I think we should be addressing this right away, if 224 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: not sooner. There was another person, Lucy Connolly, who got 225 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: jailed after she calls for people to set fire to 226 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: asylum hotels. This after an attack in Southport. Now we 227 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: could argue there's a difference in saying set fire to 228 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: a hotel and something that could be considered you know, 229 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: unkind towards Islamist. But in either case, what the UK 230 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: is saying is that we are not interested in free speech. 231 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: We're interested in protecting the most horrific and so we're 232 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: clear Islamists are horrific. But where does this come from? 233 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: Why does this keep happening? That there is a continual 234 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: and purposeful dumbing down of society as if we don't 235 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: know what it is. We know, we can't speak about 236 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: Islamist No, no, no, you can't because not only make them angry. Well, 237 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: who was talking about them when they decided to kill 238 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: sixteen in Australia. It's gonna make them angry, so don't 239 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: they say anything. Hey, Paris, it's gonna make the Islamist 240 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: angry if you celebrate New Year's so cancel the New 241 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: Year's celebration. They're at the champclas. What why are we 242 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: worried about them. Why don't they learn to be less angry? 243 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, if they get angry, why 244 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: don't they just be afraid of us? Why are we 245 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: afraid of them? I want to live in I would 246 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: rather live in a world where nobody was afraid of 247 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: anything and everyone had a good time. But if I 248 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: now these are my choices, we're afraid or they're afraid. 249 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: I want to celebrate New Year's I want to celebrate 250 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: with Christmas markets, and I want Islamists afraid to leave 251 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: their house. I want them to leave the country. They're 252 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: in so much fear they quite literally run for Canada. 253 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: They don't even worried about whether or not they put 254 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: on their shoes. They just run for the border. I 255 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: know it's taco bell, but that's what they do. I mean, 256 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: if it's a choice, who should be in fear? I 257 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: want them to be in fear, mortal fear every moment 258 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: they're standing on us soil. Why in the world should 259 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: we be afraid? We can't now speak about the issue 260 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: in front of us. That's what they're saying. They're not 261 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: the only ones. The people in the UK. People are 262 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: really in the whole of Europe saying that this was 263 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: ABC Good Morning America. I believe it was. But there's 264 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: ABC News talking about the murders in Australia. 265 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 5: That's for the suspect. 266 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 6: I've already say one of them was a licensed gun 267 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 6: owner with six firearms. 268 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 5: But they have night year revealed a motive. 269 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: Guys, what do you mean they haven't revealed a motive. 270 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: They revealed the motive. There is lomists, they had ISIS 271 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: paraphernalia in the car, and isis flag they were what 272 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: training in the Philippines with isis. What do you mean 273 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: there's no motive. Of course there's a motive. You absolute 274 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: lying frauds. But if you want to dumb down a 275 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: society and there will be some really dumb suburban housewives 276 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: and some really stupid cucks out there saying, well, we 277 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: don't have a motive and we're not sure why this 278 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: happened in Australia. Of course we do. Of course we know. 279 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: And part of our problem is a so called intellahensia 280 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: of leftists who believe they can say things like we 281 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: don't have a motive, or well that's really offensive to 282 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: this group person leftist not leftists, is lomist rapes girl. 283 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: Girl stabs Islamist to rapes her, girl goes to jail. 284 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: That happened, That happened. The rapist know the girl. Yes, 285 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: she is the one who deals with it. It's very 286 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: hard to turn this around, very hard to turn this 287 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: around in a world that doesn't allow for free speech, 288 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: and when people engage in free speech, they are violently attacked. 289 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: That does not change for me on this side of 290 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: the microphone or you on that side of the microphone. 291 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: Because your commentary is on social media, your commentary is 292 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: to co workers, to family, can be met with the 293 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: same level of hate and derision. Do words have meaning? Absolutely? 294 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: Are you responsible for your words? Ten thousand percent? Can 295 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: words hurt? Oh? Yeah, I mean if someone calls you 296 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: fat right, it doesn't mean that the word can't get said. 297 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that the word can't get said. If an 298 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: Islamis is upset that I noticed that Islamis are bad 299 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: for society as a whole, really bad for women, especially, 300 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: what do I care?

And on ABC we don't 310 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: have a motive. We all have the motive, but ABC 311 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: wants to act stupid and there are plenty of viewers 312 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: who are more than happy to go along with being stupid. 313 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: Why is talk radio so important?

I think we should respond, Tony Katz, Tony 330 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: Katz today, good to be here, Good to be with you. 331 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: This is a real thing that's going on that the 332 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: Chinese are suing on this story. Eric Schmidt's like, I'm 333 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: not about to apologize to these people. This fifty billion 334 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: dollar lawsuit. This is while he was he's now center, 335 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: this is while he was Attorney general. Again. You know, 336 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: this goes really into that the conversation you were having 337 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: earlier about why can't we be honest? Look at how 338 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: they'll work to you from being honest. The leak of 339 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: COVID came from Muhan. I still can't tell you if 340 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: it was purposeful, but all communists are incompetent, and so 341 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: it leaked from the lab that's where it came from. 342 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: China did not warn the world. Rather, they bought all 343 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: the personal protective gear so they can resell it to 344 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: the world. They didn't care who died, they didn't care 345 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: who was inconvenienced. They just thought they could profit off 346 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: of it. They're not good actors, they're not good people. 347 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: No communists can be trusted, and we should no longer 348 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: pay them any part of any debt we owe them, 349 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: and say you took it from COVID because you took 350 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: our lives and you've stolen technology from us. We're even, 351 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: and let them make a move. I dare them. The 352 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: difference and possibly between you and me or us and 353 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: other people, is that I do not believe at all 354 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: that the Chinese are tough. No, no, I believe this 355 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: is a paper tiger from beginning to end. I don't 356 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: believe that the Chinese can take a punch to the face. 357 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: Absolutely not, not for a second do I believe it. 358 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: And I'm backed up in places on this conversation. But 359 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: I think it would be very important for us to 360 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: say we're not paying you, and the debt that we 361 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: owe you, you know we're gonna do. We're gonna use 362 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: that money and we're gonna pay off the student loans 363 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: for nurses. All those nurses who work during COVID and 364 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: put themselves on the line, and then they were told 365 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: get the shot or you're fired and you're terrible and 366 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: you're killing people, even though the day before they are 367 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: helping people. Let's go help them. And then of course 368 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: let's get more nurses into the field. You become a nurse, 369 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: you stay in the field for what seven years? Boom? 370 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: All debt paid, and any debt that you paid off 371 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: will get paid back to you. I mean, if we're 372 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: gonna do something with the money, I'm just giving a suggestion. Now. 373 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm in favor of not giving them the money at all, 374 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: just writing off the debt and moving on with their day. 375 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: They already got it. They steal our technology. The debt's 376 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: been paid, they got Americans killed, The debt has been paid. 377 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: Why are we paying them more? It's crazy, It's ridiculous. 378 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: I give you something else that is ridiculous, maybe more 379 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: mouth agape than the Chinese sewing Missouri for fifty billion dollars. 380 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: The Rolling Stones called off their twenty twenty six tour. 381 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: And I know what you're saying. I'm sorry, Tony. Was 382 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: this from the year nineteen eighty three. Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, 383 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: this is twenty twenty five. Booboo, this is variety. December 384 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Rolling Stones call off their twenty twenty 385 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: six tour. Their plan was to go back on tour. 386 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: They're in their eighties. Mick Jagger's eighty two. Ron Wood 387 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: is seventy eight. You'll remember that the drummer Charlie Watts 388 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: passed away in twenty twenty one. They have replaced him 389 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: with a guy by the name of Steve Jordan, much younger. 390 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: And Keith Richards is eighty two. And Richards has said 391 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: I cannot be on tour. I can't deal with the 392 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: rigors of a tour because of the arthritis in my hands. 393 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: I've got arthritis. I can't play like I used to play. 394 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: I can't engage my guitar the way I used to. 395 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: I can't handle a four month world tour. A four 396 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: month world tour they're in their eighties. It is incredible. 397 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: I don't know what's more amazing that they were like, 398 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: you know, Aut'm eighty two, let's go on tour, or 399 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: that there are people out there would be like I'm 400 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: going to see the Stones again, I'm going to see 401 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: the octanagerian tone Stones that's crazed. Every time I see 402 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: something like this, I'm reminded that this is the same 403 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: America that used to celebrate the television show Golden Girls. Oh, 404 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: look at these old women just having fun and having 405 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: high jinks. They were in their fifties. They were in 406 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: their fifties, don't They were trying to play it all, 407 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: and that's how they looked now in their eighties. Mick 408 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: is still wearing leather pants and say let's get on stage, 409 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: bye Bee. I'm assuming that my Mick Jagger sounds a 410 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: lot like Austin Powers. Don't care, don't care. It's my impression. 411 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: So we can't do it. Cannot do the tour, can't 412 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: cannot doesn't have the strength for it. I can appreciate it. Man. 413 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: By the way, they did an album in twenty twenty 414 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: three called Hackney Diamonds. I didn't know that. I didn't 415 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: know they had done another album. Am I supposed to 416 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: be freaked out? Or am I supposed to be like 417 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: good for them? I think it'll be like good for them. 418 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: I think that's that's the way that that's gonna go. 419 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: And then there's this. You know, yesterday we were talking 420 00:25:52,400 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: about weed and how President Trump wants to reclassif five 421 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: the the drug marijuana or from from a Schedule one 422 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: to a Class three drug. Who wants to bring down 423 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: the severity of it. And there are people who are 424 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: opposed to this in great measure, really opposed to the 425 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: idea of of of changing this this classification. Enter Brian 426 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: Enton of CNN. Brian Enton is the guy who goes 427 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: over the numbers. I think he does a very very 428 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: good job of it. I think he does a very 429 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: good job of explaining how the numbers work, how the 430 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: polling works. And in this he's explaining that weed is 431 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: very popular with younger sets, more popular with America. And 432 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: then the twist, let's uh, let's start here. 433 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 7: This would be some of the best politics that Donald 434 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 7: Trump has done in a long period of time. If 435 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 7: in fact, the US decides to reschedule marijuana, why do 436 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 7: I say this. 437 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 5: Take a look here, say marijuana should be legal. 438 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 7: Look at the time span and look at how much 439 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 7: higher and higher and higher favoring Americans have in terms 440 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 7: of legalizing marijuana. 441 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 1: Look at this. 442 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 5: In nineteen sixty nine, it was. 443 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 7: Just twelve percent and eighty five twenty three percent. Twenty 444 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 7: years ago, it was thirty six percent. Look at this, 445 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 7: nearly double. 446 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 5: From where we were just twenty years ago. 447 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 7: In terms of the percentage of Americans who say that 448 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 7: marijuana should in fact be legalized in the country, sixty 449 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 7: four percent, two in three Americans. You rarely get two 450 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 7: and three Americans degree on anything, but they do in 451 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 7: fact degree that marijuana should be legal capable. 452 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: That's a big number. That is a big number. Now, 453 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: this is, of course the conversation about recreational marijuana that 454 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: they're discussing, which is certainly, I guess a little surprising 455 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: as opposed to just medicinal marijuana. It doesn't answer the 456 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: questions of where recreational marijuana should be used. But that's 457 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: the polling data. So okay, maybe that leads you in 458 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: a direction. Wait, there's more. 459 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 8: This is how people feel about it in the popularity 460 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 8: of this move. 461 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: But over the years, if. 462 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 8: You put aside the popularity, how is usage changed and shift? 463 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the same trend line. 464 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 7: It turns out that Americans have increasingly been saying tutsy, TUTSI, goodbye, 465 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 7: have ever used marijuana? Look at this in nineteen hundred 466 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 7: and sixty nine four percent, nineteen eighty five thirty three percent, 467 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 7: nineteen ninety nine thirty four percent. Then you look in 468 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 7: twenty twenty four, nearly half of Americans now have at 469 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 7: least used mara wana one time, and the percentage you 470 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 7: say they're using it right now is also near record highs. 471 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 5: And Kate, I will note when I said. 472 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 7: That tutsy toutsy goodbye, I don't think you quite got 473 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 7: the reference. It's a reference to primary colors of film. 474 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: Okay, thank you so much for this is a let's 475 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: let's first TUTSI toutsy goodbye. Uh is from a musical. 476 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: I believe that's why it's a song from the twenties. 477 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: As I know it. Now, forty seven percent of people 478 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: in America have used marijuana. Okay, are forty seven percent 479 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: of people regular users of marijuana? That would be my question. 480 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: But now you've got two bits of data, same source 481 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: Gallop showing that there's a want to legalize and there's 482 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: been a use of nearly one in two Americans that 483 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: have used it. Now we get into what is the 484 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: real story here, and possibly the reason for the rescheduling. 485 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 8: Political move is it clear that the president would see 486 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 8: a benefit potentially with any one particular group. 487 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, this is where I think it really comes in. 488 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 7: Take a look at those under the age of thirty five, 489 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 7: because they have been a real swing group, right. 490 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 5: They swung wildly from. 491 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 7: The twenty twenty to twenty four election, going increasingly into 492 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 7: the president's column, and then we've seen them actually shift 493 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 7: back away from the president. 494 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 5: This could be an. 495 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 7: Issue that could help, among other issues, help bring them 496 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 7: back into the president's camp. Why do I say that, 497 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 7: because those under the age of thirty five, Look at 498 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 7: that seventy two percent want at legal and then you 499 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 7: see about half have ever used marijuana. 500 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: So for me, this could be. 501 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 7: A wedge issue that the president could use in fact 502 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 7: against his Democratic opposition and say, hey, you know what, 503 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 7: Democrats have talked the talk, but I'm actually going to 504 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 7: walk the walk when it comes to legalizing marijuana. 505 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: Eighteen to thirty four. Are you telling me that if 506 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: Trump changes the marijuana schedule and while not legalized, heads 507 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: towards legalizing, the younger voters are gonna say, I'm voting 508 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: for Trump because he's getting me weed, and now I 509 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: don't have to have an issue and I don't have 510 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: to fake some card in order to get it from 511 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: a dispensary. And now states aren't in violation of federal law. 512 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: Nah yeah nah really nah, Like that's the conversation. That's 513 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: a mind scramble because I didn't think it was something 514 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: that even registered. My math would have been there are 515 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: states that have it, states that don't. And everybody's moved on. 516 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: If they want they want the weed, they know a guy, 517 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: they'll go to another state. And besides, who needs weed 518 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: when you got gummies? Same but different maybe but different. 519 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: But this is a real subject. Wait, this is a 520 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: real move the electric subject. Oh yeah, Still I still 521 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: don't favor it.

Why were this person's pages scrubbed? Why were 566 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: his pages scrubbed from Brown University? There's a lot of 567 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: questions and why are the police and the Attorney General 568 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: getting so upset when people ask? A lot of failures 569 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: taking place in the first forty eight hours for seventy 570 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: two hours since this investigation started, and the total lack 571 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: of answers, including all the cameras you have on campus, 572 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 1: you don't have any video of this guy who killed 573 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: Ella Cook.

At least that is 576 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: the theory, and right now, I will admit it makes sense, 577 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: but I'd like to know who did this before I 578 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: get all conspiratorial.
