I mean 12 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: there there's a fair amount of madness that has been 13 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: going on, including from the good people at the Golden 14 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: Globes who are just so absolutely and vehemently full of themselves. Hey, 15 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: producer land and finger on the dumb button ten years ago. 16 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: You know, since we've had COVID, I believe we're a 17 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: dictatorship now and ha, you schmuck in what dictatorship? Jud 18 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,919 Speaker 1: Director Judd Apatow, do you get to put on a tux, 19 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: go to an event and say, without any prompting from 20 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: a government official, I believe we're in a dictatorship now, 21 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: a lot of stupidity, and there's no end in sight. 22 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: And they think themselves so pious. But let's stick with 23 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: a ran on what's going on. Because none of these 24 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: Golden Globe winners or nominees or anybody else thought for 25 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: a second thought for a second that they should say, hey, 26 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: maybe we support the people of Iran, and maybe it'd 27 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: be great if they were actually able to get their 28 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: freedom and put an end to this horrible Islamic regime 29 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: that is led by this murderous Ayatola. Wouldn't that be 30 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: the very very best thing. The answer is yes, The 31 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: answer is undoubtedly, undoubtedly yes. But that did not happen. 32 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: Right now in Iran, you have potentially ten thousand detained, 33 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: more than five hundred dead. Now these are still the numbers. 34 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: I did some checking before the show began, and we're 35 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: still in this idea of five hundred. I have to 36 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: assume that the number of dead is more than five hundred, 37 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: and I have to assume the numbers of those who 38 00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: have been taken by the by the regime is more 39 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: than ten thousand. And there's been talk about putting these 40 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: ten thousand people to death. I don't know what's gonna happen. 41 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: Part of the issue is that we're not getting great 42 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: reporting out of Iran now. Elon Musk did organize starlink 43 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: to be able to be available because the Iranian regime 44 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: shut down the Internet and the only thing they left 45 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: playing was like Tucker Carlson Interviews, I swear to you 46 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: that's a true story. This all because the Iranians see 47 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: the moment of not having to live in this hellscape 48 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: that they have lived in for all of these years, 49 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: and it is what it is. Nobody wants to live 50 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: under an Islamic regime. Who isn't a radicalized Islamist hell 51 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: bent on subjugating or killing anybody who disagrees with them. 52 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: I don't even take it the way others have in 53 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: the social media places that what we're seeing is the 54 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: Iranian people say we don't want Islam. I'm not one 55 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: hundred percent sure that's what's being said. What they're saying 56 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: is we don't want the regime, we don't want the control. 57 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: We want to have our lives back, we want to 58 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: be able to engage in trade, we want to end 59 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: the sanctions. Dear Lord We want a better life and 60 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: this guy can't give it. We live in hell. Nineteen 61 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: hundred people executed because what they showed their hair. Women 62 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: showed their hair. By the way, where are the feminists 63 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: in Hollywood to support these women who are being abused. 64 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: The women of Iran are taking photos of the iatola, 65 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: lighting them on fire and lighting their cigarettes. It's so 66 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: freaking hot, I don't even know what to say that. 67 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: By the way, that's the calendar hot Iranian chicks smoking cigarettes? 68 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: Is the calendar Iranian chicks for freedom? Just twelve months 69 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: of Iranian chicks lighting their sickrettes. Yes, more of that please. 70 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: They are more brave than any of these liberal women 71 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: in Hollywood who think that they're brave. Bravery is a 72 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: woman in Iran lighting a cigarette with a picture of 73 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: the Ayatola, Not Wanda Sykes. Wanda, you're not brave. You've 74 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: never been brave. 75 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: No. 76 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say never never, because I don't know your 77 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: total history. But compared to these women in Iran, you're 78 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: not brave. You want to yell at ice agents for 79 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: the death of Renee Good. She blocked traffic, she didn't 80 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: listen to officers, and she rammed one. She didn't think 81 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: about her six year old Nobody wanted her dead. But 82 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: let's put some blame where it belongs. Wanda. What else 83 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: did want to Pike say at the Golden Globes? People 84 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: are upset that a queer black woman was taking the 85 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: job of two mediocre white guys. It's not even funny. 86 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: It's not even funny. And who cares that you're gay? 87 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Those days are over. Maybe someone cared twenty years ago, 88 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: No one cares today. The only thing they do when 89 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: they see you is wonder does she still have a career? Really? Huh? 90 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: You think she'd love the country? And that says you 91 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: could be black and gay and still have a career 92 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: and make millions. But I guess not for Wanda Sykes, 93 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: the women of Iran or Brave Wanda, You're not. The 94 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: people are close. Now, we've been through this before. We 95 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: have been through before that. They have gone down this 96 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: road an attempt to secure their freedom, and it has 97 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: not been successful. It has gotten close and then gone nowhere. 98 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: And part of the issue has been the total lack 99 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: of support that has existed from American leadership. That seems 100 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: to have changed. You've got Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State. 101 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: You have President Trump who have come out to say 102 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: in social media posts that they support the people of Iranda, 103 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: that they want the Iranians to be free, and we 104 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: are going to support them. I'm overjoyed to see it. 105 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: It's about time that we have seen it, and it 106 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: makes a huge difference. That's why when President Trump was 107 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: going through this thing of making a deal with the Iranians, 108 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what he means, because there's no deal 109 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: that can be made that keeps the Ayatola and the 110 00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: regime and power that could satisfy. Just so we're all clear, 111 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: that doesn't work, that dog won't hunt. The regime has 112 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: to go. And this could be taken into a bit 113 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: of a larger context, and my conversation with Noah Rothman 114 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: last week, I got a couple of really good responses 115 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: to that from you guys, and I appreciate it. And 116 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: if I was to surmise, it would be, you know, 117 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: regime change doesn't always happen all at once. It was 118 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: a legitimate argument, a valuable argument that what we what 119 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: we see is in the taking in Maduro is nothing 120 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: more than a step one. There could be a step 121 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: two and a step three that leads to the eradication 122 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: of the full Maduro regime, because the regime is not 123 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: just one person, it's all the connective tissue. And you 124 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: still have what's her name, Delsea Rodriguez and others in 125 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: power who can't be in power if you want the 126 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: Venezuelans to have a better life, right, And then you'll 127 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: get comments like this one. That's because you're a short 128 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: sighted I think they meant sited, even though I spelled 129 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: the rug. Stupid idiot. You're not in the White House 130 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: knowing what's going on, like President Trump. Wake up, honey, 131 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: get your head out of your Oh my, oh. I 132 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: don't think you could say that on radio. You think 133 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: it's wrong for me to say out loud that the 134 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: president should never make a deal with the iotola that 135 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: allows the istotal to stay in power. I think that 136 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: is more than acceptable to do because President Trump is 137 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: a transactional guy. Here, allow me to educate you now. 138 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm only hoping wait is your name? Yeah, I only 139 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: hope that you're a woman, so you can accuse me 140 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: of man's plaining, because that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm 141 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: a man, and I explained things. President Trump is already 142 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: trying to work out deals with Venezuela, and they'll sell 143 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: the oil here, and they'll do this over there, and 144 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars in investments coming from oil companies. 145 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: President Trump is a very transactional guy. I don't say 146 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: that as a negative. I'm fully aware of what it 147 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: is that I voted for three times. So settle yourself down, Connie. 148 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: And being a transactional guy, he sees, all right, I 149 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: got rid of the threat. Now I'm able to make 150 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: a deal here. That's good enough. That's his methodology. What 151 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: I believe that we should be doing is making sure 152 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,479 Speaker 1: he is fully aware that that methodology has to include 153 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: the removal of the Maduro regime to get a better 154 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: end result long term. I don't think there's anything wrong 155 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: with me being part of the people saying that only 156 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: a weirdo would think up. You can't say anything, You 157 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: just gotta let Trump cook. What are you talking about, Oh, 158 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: you didn't serve in the military. You're not allowed to 159 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: say anything. What kind of ridiculousness. No deal can be 160 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: made with the Iyatola that doesn't involve the Ayatola giving 161 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: up power in Iran and the people actually engaging an 162 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: election and allowing themselves to be free of this Islamist yoke. 163 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: I said it, I said it, I meant it. My 164 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: name's Tony Katz, and I don't really care if other 165 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: people are happy with it. Agreed, disagree, engage. But you 166 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: think there's anything that could be done, any deal they 167 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: can be made that keeps the Ietola in power, And 168 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: my fear is with Trump anything as possible. The two 169 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: rules of Trumpism are as follows the first rule of 170 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: trump Ism as Trump wins. The second rule of trump 171 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: Ism is that a deal can always be made as 172 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: long as it adheres to the first rule of trump Ism. 173 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: Why would anyone argue these points with me? I understand 174 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: the limitations of the president, and therefore I want to 175 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: be somebody who pushes for a larger scale conversation to 176 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: push him to doing even more. I'm doing exactly exactly 177 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: what I believe the citizenry should do. I voted for 178 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: the man. Don't forget to do this. You can't say 179 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: that about President Trump. He's a genius. He's playing five 180 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: D chess. No. No, we will make my voice heard 181 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: and make my voice known. Of course, absolutely. Of course 182 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: there are great things happening. And I loved that he 183 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: and Marko Riubya put that out because this was, this 184 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: was everything that didn't occur the last time we got close, 185 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: which was during the hour of Spring Green Revolution, and 186 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: Barack Obama didn't nothing. Man, what did he have to do, 187 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: What did he have to do except to say, I 188 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: support the people of Iran, I want them to be free. 189 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: And when they remove this this yoke around their neck 190 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: again I use the word yoke, the United States will 191 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: be there to shake their hand and say welcome friend 192 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: and engage in trade immediately. We look forward to the 193 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: days of a free Iran. And I think Trump should say, 194 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: make Iran Persia again. It's mipa, make Iran Persia again 195 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: in my in my lifetime, if you will. Since the 196 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: overtaking by the eye tooler, I've never seen it this close. 197 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: I've never seen the opportunity this right there. I've never 198 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: seen the people engaged in such levels of brave, in 199 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: such levels of defiance, seeing their moments and their opportunity, 200 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: and I want them to have it. I want them 201 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: to get it, every single step of it. So good 202 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: on the President, and good on Marco Rubio for saying, so, now, 203 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: let's make sure that any deal involves the iatola being 204 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:29,119 Speaker 1: gone and the people being free. And let's note that Hollywood, 205 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: for all they're caring about the poor Palestinians, I don't 206 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: care about the Iranians at all, which makes you think 207 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't ever about the Palestinians to begin with, which 208 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: is of course the story. This is Tony Katz today. 209 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: So in addition to the story out of Iran, you 210 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: have the United States involved in strikes in Syria. Tony Katz. 211 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, this is about the relationship that we 212 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: are further developing with Syria, which is of course a 213 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: relationship of convenience, because the new leadership of Syria that 214 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: pushed out a char La Sad not great people. It 215 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: was the Druze community d r u Ze that turned 216 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: to the Israelies and said, please annex our land or 217 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: let us in. We can't live under this, We're gonna 218 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: get destroyed. These these this real world that we live in, 219 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:35,359 Speaker 1: these relationships that we're seeing, this is about the eradication 220 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: of Isis because those are now in charge, regardless of 221 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: that they may have come from these Isis al Qaeda worlds, 222 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: they don't want any part of this, and they certainly 223 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: didn't anyone didn't want any part of a Charla Sad 224 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: and his murder's regime, a guy who gassed his own people. 225 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: And when Hesbelah got ripped a sun by the Israelis 226 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: in that page er attack, and it became clear that 227 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: they were unable to focus, and therefore they couldn't get paid. 228 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: And therefore these Hesbela fighters like, well, I listen, I'm 229 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: only doing it for the money and only doing it 230 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: for the life, Kidati, I'm gone. That's when Asad realized 231 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: it was over and he had to flee to Moscow. 232 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: And that's why it was so easy for these rebel 233 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: groups to take over. These groups now having put together 234 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: a leadership, a guy who had actually been in the 235 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: White House. The one thing they have in common with 236 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: the United States, amongst maybe some other things. But I'll 237 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: say this top line is that ISIS is a problem. 238 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: They can't have the life that they want to have 239 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: or the nation they want to have if ISIS is there. 240 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: So this is not the first time that we have 241 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: seen bombings of ISIS targets. This also comes after two 242 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: US members of the National Guard I believe they are 243 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: at the Iowa National Guard and an American interpreter were 244 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: killed by ISIS. This was back in December, and so 245 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: we're going about making sure that ISIS gets destroyed. I 246 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: said earlier, the terrorists are never going to go away 247 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. It's it's it's like these communes. Communists 248 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: are never going to go away one hundred percent. It's 249 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: sadly going to be around. People want to believe lies. 250 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: They they want to believe that somehow communism has never 251 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: really be tried been tried. They want to believe that 252 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: the stripper is really into them. People want to believe 253 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: lies all the time. No one believes the Khan more 254 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: than the Mark. What we have to do is make 255 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: sure that the terrorist is destroyed and the terrorist networks 256 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: are destroyed by any and every means necessary. And we 257 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: have to make sure that the communists lose elections and 258 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: when they rise up in this Red Green alliance to 259 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: try and tear down Western civilization, we have to make 260 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: sure that we fight back. This is going to lead 261 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: us into the Ice protests and how Ilhan Omar, the 262 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: congresswoman from Minneapolis via Somalia. She is on the side 263 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: of ICE's destruction. She's not on the side of America. 264 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: She's not on the side of safety and security. What 265 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: kind of person is this? What kind of person is this? 266 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: What is it that we have done to our own nation? 267 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: We're not talking about disagreements. We know what we're talking about. 268 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: We're talking about somebody who despises what it is we are. 269 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: Now it's for the strikes in Syria, no issue with them. 270 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: I again wonder how the Maga faith will feel because 271 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: for a guy who's about no forever wars, he's done 272 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: some punching with that military, and now you're hearing that 273 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: members of Congress don't even think the president should be 274 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: able to do any of it without their approval. There's 275 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: a difference between war and an action. What Congress is 276 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: trying to say is somehow this president doesn't have authority, 277 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: but I believe that the law and the precedents are 278 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: on his side. Troops in Venezuela, that would be different. 279 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: But so far, this is Congress trying to shut down 280 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: the chief, the commander of chief. I'm Tony Katz. I 281 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: don't think there's anything more precious than when Elizabeth Warren 282 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: wants to talk about the economy. Tony Katz. Tony Katz today, 283 00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: of course, commie Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Nothing thing has 284 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: been more awful. But she decided that today was gonna 285 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: be a good day to have a press conference about 286 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: the economy and her argument, Donald Trump is really starting 287 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: to sweat it. Oh, somebody got a question. Do you 288 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: think Republicans and Democrats can come together to form a 289 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: healthcare plant? 290 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: It's up to the Republicans. Democrats have made clear we 291 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 2: want to look for healthcare costs for Americans. Republicans passed 292 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 2: a law last July raised those costs for Americans, and 293 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: so far they've refused to back off that. 294 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: So ask the Republicans. 295 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: We're still in this fight all the way. 296 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: The biggest problem that Republicans have with healthcare is that 297 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: they have no response to Obamacare, and sixteen years later, 298 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 1: they still don't have a response. They have failed in 299 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: every single way on this subject, and it does look 300 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: like they have simply given up and said, Okay, Obamacare 301 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: is here to stay. Because if it's not Obamacare, it's 302 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: going to move the left into well, we need full 303 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: universal health care, which is where they're gonna move anyway, 304 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: and in order for us to engage some level of rationality, 305 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: we have to rip Obamacare out by the route. It 306 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: doesn't work, it costs too much, and these subsidies or madness. Yes, 307 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: the House voted for three year subsidies. Seventeen Republicans went 308 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: over with the Democrats to do so, because all elections 309 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: are local and they're trying to win, and Republicans didn't 310 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: give them another plan. This was, and I think it's 311 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: rightfully said as a failure by Speaker Johnson. I don't 312 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: think Speaker Johnson has been bad at the job. He 313 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: took it reticently. There was nobody else who wanted, nobody 314 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: else who was going to get the votes. I mean, 315 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: I should take it back. They're definitely people who wanted it, 316 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: they weren't gonna get the votes. And Johnson gets it, 317 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: and he has been good at it. I would argue, 318 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: better than the expectations. I don't argue that he's better 319 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: at it than Kevin McCarthy. I still say, all these 320 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: years later that getting rid of Kevin McCarthy did absolutely nothing, 321 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: absolutely positively nothing. None of us are better off. Nothing 322 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: was smarter was done smarter. Matt Gates being out of 323 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: Congress is far better than having than than not having 324 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy as the speaker. Just so we're all clear. 325 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: And I know some people disagree with me about that, 326 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: and that's fine. But Mike Johnson has been more successful 327 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: than not in this He lost it absolutely, fell apart 328 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: all around him. Can't really be denied. But that's the 329 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: issue with healthcare. But what else was it that Elizabeth 330 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: Warren wanted to say? 331 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 2: To lower healthcare costs? 332 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: Much influence on the Biden administration policy as anyone appointees, 333 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: not economic policy, and they wanted clearly the American people 334 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: rejected that in the second term. I'm curious, why, why 335 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: do you think that now, going into the mid terms 336 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: of the you should have this kind of influence size. 337 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: Hearing the party's direction, it's an interesting question. You had 338 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: a bunch of influence on Joe Biden. You were all 339 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: about which appointees here, there, and everywhere, and America said, 340 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: kiss off. Why do you think you should have a 341 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: voice now, I'll see that we will don't. 342 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: Trump stood up and said every day for a year, 343 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: I have will lower. 344 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: Costs on day one. That is the promise he made. 345 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 2: People like Lena Khan and the Biden administration were fighting 346 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: that fight, and what the American people want to see 347 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: us do is deliver it. 348 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: Now, it is undoubtedly true that the American people want 349 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: to see, is you deliver we want lower costs? Absolutely true, 350 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: and Trump did say he would do it on day one. Now, 351 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: the problem with saying that is people are gonna say, oh, 352 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: it's been one day, things are on lower Look what 353 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: you did, right. That's the issue. Of course, it's irrational 354 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: from them. I'm not saying no, I am saying instead 355 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: of some sloganeering platitude, you could have phrased it differently. 356 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: Now there's another way to look at this. Who cares 357 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: what she says? He won and everything's being worked on. 358 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: I will say it again for the people in the 359 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: cheap seats. There are still economic issues out there and 360 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: they are real. And when I take a look at 361 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: these gold and silver prices, Holy mackerel silver today, no, no, no. Silver. 362 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: Gold was forty six hundred an ounce. Silver was eighty 363 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: five dollars an ounce. A barrel of oil is fifty 364 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: eight dollars on the West Texas crewed coming out of 365 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: the grounds sixty three dollars. The Brent crude coming out 366 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: of the oceans silver is eighty five kids, that's a hedge. 367 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: There are still people who do not feel that this 368 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: economy is in a good spot, and the market was 369 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: super weird today because the DOJ has filed charges against 370 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve. And you're like, 371 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: what did he do? What did he steal? Nothing? Nothing? Nothing, nothing, 372 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: nothing nothing. The issue here is that they were doing 373 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: a renovation of a building and it's like two and 374 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: a half billion dollars over was it two and a 375 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: half billion over the estimate? Double check me there, Producer Landon, 376 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: I think it's two and a half b two point five. 377 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: Throw it in the chat room if you would. Two 378 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars and overruns. You're like, what's 379 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: going on here? This is the waste, fraud and abuse. 380 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: Even when we're looking at regarding Minneapolis, you know where 381 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: this all starts. In terms of getting people paying attention 382 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: to this DOJ. DOJ was the right idea. DOGE needs 383 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: to come back. It needs to be stronger, it needs 384 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: to be codified as law, and it has to happen today. 385 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: And I don't care if it's Elon doing it or 386 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: somebody else. This is the way. It's the same thing 387 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: with Trump talking to defense contractors and saying, what the 388 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: hell is this? With the overruns? You tell us it's 389 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 1: gonna be ready in three years. Three years, Colmes, You're like, oh, 390 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: we need another year and a half. Why are we 391 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: paying you? Who said you could do this? And government 392 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: being government, they go, well, I guess gonna take them 393 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: another year and a half. Here's some more checks. Why 394 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: do I oppose a government run society as opposed to 395 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: a people run society. Why do I oppose a government 396 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: being in all things and instead favor capitalism in the markets, 397 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: because competition means things get done on time, and competition 398 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: is good, competition is valuable, competition makes our life better. 399 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: And government doesn't have competition, and therefore they don't care. 400 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: And you know this every time you've been at the DMV, 401 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: which is really weird because I live in Indiana and 402 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: one of the things that Governor Mitch Daniels did a 403 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: great number of years ago was revamp what's called it's 404 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: the Bureau Motor Vehicles here, it's the BMV, which is 405 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: still hard for me to get used to after like 406 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: a dozen years. 407 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: And. 408 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: What you get is a super efficient system. It's unbelievable, 409 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: super super efficient. It's crazy. But that means somebody actually 410 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: wants to pay attention to the result that happens for 411 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: the citizen. That doesn't happen in government, that doesn't happen. 412 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: You get these overruns and these overruns, and everyone says, well, 413 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: I guess that's what's gonna take and writes another check. 414 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: And what do they care. They don't have to pay 415 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: for it. It comes from us, you know, for some kind 416 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: of greater good. Find the fraud, find the fraudsters, and 417 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: get rid of people who aren't necessary in government business, 418 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: and start dealing with these contractors the way you would 419 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: in the private sector. Produce results or you're gone. I 420 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: love that. But this lawsuit against Jerome Powell, I don't 421 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: know how this helps. Because Jerome Powell is now out 422 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: there making statements that this is all because I won't 423 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: do Trump's bidding and I won't lower the interest rates, 424 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: and he's just angry with me. That's the entirety of it. 425 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: Powell even put out a statement where he looks rather 426 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: sleepy talking about it. 427 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve 428 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 3: with grand jury subpoenas threatening a criminal indictment related to 429 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 3: my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That 430 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 3: testimony concerned, in part, a multi year project to renovate 431 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 3: historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for 432 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 3: the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. 433 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,719 Speaker 3: No one, certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve, 434 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 3: is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be 435 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and 436 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 3: ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony 437 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 3: last June, or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. 438 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 3: It is not about Congress's oversight role. The Fed, through 439 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 3: testimony and other public disclosures, made every effort to keep 440 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 3: Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The 441 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 3: threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal 442 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 3: Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of 443 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 3: what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences 444 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 3: of the President. 445 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: Now there are two things here. First, the overruns two 446 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars. Spiritual Land in double check 447 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: two and a half billion dollars. It certainly cannot be allowed, 448 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: and I think it is very acceptable to look into 449 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: it and see if there was an ill doing. As 450 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: a matter of course, I don't think this works out well. 451 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't think there's an electoral winner in here. I 452 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: don't think it really moves people in the midterms. And 453 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm very focused on this right now. You guys know, 454 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: we've got the events coming up that is gonna be 455 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: January twenty fourth, Trump one year later, the Red Tie gala, 456 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: the highs and the lows of the last year, and 457 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: how we utilize this information to win the midterms. It's 458 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: gonna be incredible. I've got bourbon for everybody, swag, food, 459 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: live music, everyone's dressing.

So 463 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: that's January twenty fourth, tickets dot Tony Katz dot com. 464 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be so incredible. I'm going through things that 465 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: you have forgotten about. And so it's a giant show 466 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: that I do. Happening at the Hiatt regency in downtown Indianapolis. 467 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: Get your tickets. Tickets, not Tony kats dot com. And 468 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that this is going to help with 469 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: the midterms. I don't, but I will not listen to 470 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: Jerome Powell tell me that everything he has done regarding 471 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: interest rates is totally perfect, that there's been no politics 472 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: at play when Biden was an officer, when trumpson office, 473 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: that doesn't fly. But I don't know where the charges help. 474 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: What I know is that two and a half billion 475 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 1: dollars worth of overruns. That's a problem. Keep it here. 476 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz today. I'm 477 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: here to tell you that when I saw Caroline Levitt 478 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: to say, hey, check out the story about how we 479 00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: took out Venezuelan military and Cuban security forces when we 480 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: were going after Maduro. This is amazing. And it was 481 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: this first hand report of someone in Venezuela, it was like, 482 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what they hit us with. We didn't 483 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: see him coming. They jammed all our communications and the 484 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: next thing you know, we're in great pain, like the 485 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: sound is in our heads. Caroline Levitt, the Press secretary, 486 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: is pushing that story I am a real believer that 487 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: you do not show your hand unless you have to. 488 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm a believer that what we should be 489 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: doing is not talking about methods, but rather looking at 490 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: the rest of the world and saying, oh, yeah, that, 491 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: oh the Venezuela thing, getting Madua, yeah, you know, easy, 492 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 1: wonder what's for lunch, and not even noticing that it happens, 493 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: making other nations wonder what it is we're capable of 494 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: and how we're capable of them.
