4
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: is making everybody crazy, including me, including me because you know,

5
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: I'm in Indianapolis and the Colts traded two first round

6
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: draft picks for a cornerback, Sauce Gardner of the New

7
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: York Jets. I don't know what to do with that.

8
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: We traded Ady Mitchell.

9
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: Yet Adie Mitchell is confirmed to go to the Jets.

10
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: No way, Oh that's brutal. Eighty Okay, hold on a second.

16
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: Mitchell is the wide receiver who fumbled the ball before

17
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: the end zone and then got sat down. And he

18
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: was expecting to have a good year. There was a

19
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: place for him, and I don't know, like he's getting

20
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: sat down as one thing, never given a chance to

21
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: redeem yourself they gave Jonathan Taylor a chance to redeem

22
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: himself and now they've traded him.

23
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: Wow.

24
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: But Sauce Gardner, who's twenty five, twenty six, twenty five.

25
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: To All Pros Defensive Rookie of the Year.

26
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: He signed a four year, one hundred and twenty million

27
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: dollar contract and the Colts gave up two first rounders

28
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: to get him.

29
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: Okay, that is a huge deal no matter who you are. Now.

30
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: It's not the only trade deal going on out there,

31
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: but that is a massive one. That's probably the biggest one.

32
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: It's very, very possible that the Vikings could be looking

33
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: for a backup quarterback. You've got Jacoby Myers who went

34
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: to the Jaguars from the Raiders. You've got the Cowboys

35
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: that made a move. They got Logan Wilson from Cincinnati. Right,

36
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: they're building on defense after dealing Micah Parsons. The Colts

37
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: steal is the biggest deal right now of the trade deadline.

38
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: That is a nutty nutty play crazy, But it's not

39
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: the only thing going on. We've got Election Day and

40
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: we are going to do live election coverage tonight starting

41
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: at seven Virginia Poles closed at seven pm. Right, that's

42
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: where you've got the governor's race. New Jersey polls close

43
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: at eight pm. You got a governor's race, the New

44
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: York polls close at nine pm.

45
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: That's the mayor's race. And then, of course I won't.

46
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 2: Be staying up late enough to what happened to see

47
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: what happens with Proposition fifty in California when that's about redistricting.

48
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: So you've got a fair amount of stuff happening and

49
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: going on. And there's a real conversation to be had

50
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: here about.

51
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: The very idea of power, which is going.

52
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: To take us back to a conversation that exists regarding

53
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: Eric Holder. That's going to be a big, big talk.

54
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: And of course we have that the White House has

55
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: taking the rest of the money they have available available

56
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: for SNAP and are giving out partial SNAP benefits. A

57
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: judge rule day you have to give out the Snap benefits,

58
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: and the White House said, it takes eight billion dollars.

59
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: We've got about five billion dollars. We can't give out

60
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 2: partial benefits, so we're not giving him out. The judge

61
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: said you have to, and the White House said, oh, okay,

62
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: I don't actually know how that is supposed to work.

63
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: I don't.

64
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: I have no idea how it's supposed to be.

65
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: Handled in this way.

66
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 2: What I know is Donald Trump is the worst king

67
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: America has ever had.

68
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: I was told no kings. I was told no kings.

69
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: We do not have kings.

70
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump thinks himself a king, and he's acting

71
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: like a king. A court said you have to hand

72
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 2: out the money, and he said, are you sure? And

73
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: they said yep, And he said, okay, kings don't do that.

74
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: It's just another great example of the level of nonsense.

75
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: Is this that is engaged, the level of nonsense and

76
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: lies and fraud and deceit that the left puts out

77
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: there to jump hate against Trump.

78
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I have said it before, I'll say it again.

79
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: They are desperate, desperate for another lone wolf to take

80
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: a shot.

81
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: At the man.

82
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: That's my take. What else could all of this possibly mean?

83
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: How else could it possibly play out? Why else would

84
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: you say these things for what reason? For what purpose?

85
00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: It's clear, it's obvious, there is no reality. There is

86
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: no proper response to what it is they're saying, other

87
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: than they want to do harm to the president, physical harm.

88
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: Just don't know how that isn't obvious, But here he

89
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: is paying it out. So you're gonna continue this whole

90
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: king thing. You're gonna continue this whole king conversation.

91
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: The answer is.

92
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: Yes, they are because they think it works and their

93
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: base likes it. So why not the fact that it's dishonest,

94
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: the fact that it doesn't connect to the reality that

95
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: we see that they don't care about that. I'm hoping

96
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: that you do, and I'm hoping that independence do. The

97
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: White House Press briefing set to begin, I will bring

98
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: it to you. Keep it right here. This is Tony

99
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: Katz today. All eyes on the White House Press briefing

100
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: You've got to shut down to consider on day thirty

101
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: five of the shutdown, and there was this amazing bit

102
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: of audio for BECKEM Jeffries. I don't know if you

103
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: caught this or not.

104
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: Listen to how the Democrats talk about the shutdown here.

105
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: The partisan Republicans' spending bill is dead on arrival, and

106
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: it's been completely and totally unreasonable that Senate Republicans thirteen

107
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: different times have presented a bill that they know is

108
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: going to go down to defeat because Senate Democrats and

109
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 4: House Democrats continue to stand up for the healthcare of

110
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: the American people, it's dead on arrival. And if in

111
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 4: the next.

112
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: Day or so.

113
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 4: House and Senate Republicans finally come to that conclusion, maybe

114
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: that small step in the right direction as it relates

115
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: to actually having bipartisan conversations to enact an enlightened spending

116
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: bill that actually makes life better for the American people.

117
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: An enlightened spending bill. I mean, it's it really is

118
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: something else to hear him engage in this way. When

119
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: Republicans hold firm, they're killing children. When Democrats folds firm,

120
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: it's enlightened. Good gosh, that is remarkable, and it goes

121
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: to it, I think a larger point, which is about

122
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: how does one hold firm and what Republicans are most

123
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: horrific at. Republicans are not good at the fight. They've

124
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: never been good at the fight. They're awful at it.

125
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 2: And I think, and I will get into, one of

126
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: the most amazing things that has taken place thus far,

127
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: is how it is that Republicans have been holding and

128
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: in unification on we pass the Continuing Resolution.

129
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: It's up to the Democrats vote for this thing. What

130
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 3: do you want from us?

131
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: Which is why I'm bothered with Trump, with this NonStop

132
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: and the filibuster and the filibuster. I'm not sure you

133
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: want what that means. I do not think that that's

134
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: the that's the desire that you are after. I think

135
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: that that's something that will be regretted. Democrats are absolutely

136
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: willing on every level to fight in every single way.

137
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: Republicans think things are beneath them. I go back to

138
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: this conversation regarding Eric Holder.

139
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: So Eric Holder is discussing how.

140
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: The institution of the Supreme Court is broken.

141
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 5: You know, deciding these really important matters in that way

142
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 5: challenges the legitimacy of the court and does an untold

143
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 5: amount of damage to the fabric, the legal fabric of

144
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 5: this nation. I think, you know, the reality is. It

145
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 5: pains me to say this. I think the Supreme Court

146
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 5: is a broken institution, and it's something that has to

147
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 5: be I think a part of the national conversation in

148
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 5: twenty six and in twenty eight what are we going

149
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 5: to do about the Supreme Court? And I think that

150
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 5: we have to think about again about the acquisition and

151
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: the use of power. If there is a democratic trifecta

152
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty eight, and I think the possibility of

153
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 5: that is pretty good. Supreme Court reform is something that

154
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 5: has to be considered. Term limits, I think at a minimum,

155
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 5: potentially expanding the court is something I think that also

156
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 5: should be should be considered.

157
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: Democrats have no issue with using their power, and Republicans

158
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: are ashamed of their power. This is a problem. Every

159
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: Republican needs to listen to what I'm saying here. If

160
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 2: you tell me, yeah, but they're not doing it right,

161
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: this is what they're doing. Redistricting is a legal process

162
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: in a political process. They want to pack the court.

163
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: They're telling you they're going to do it. They're telling

164
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: you how they want to change it. They're telling you

165
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: that they demand fealty and they demand to own you.

166
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: They don't believe in.

167
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: A system by which if you don't like the redistricting

168
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: you can vote out your state legislator and have other

169
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: people in there who may a great create a map

170
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: more to your liking. No map is fair, No congressional

171
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: map is fair. Fair does not exist. The political entity

172
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: in charge drew a map that they thought would best

173
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 2: be helpful or give them the least amount of heartache

174
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: one or the other, you decide. But it wasn't done

175
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: on fairness. It was done in self interest. It's not

176
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: unconstitutional to do mid decade redistricting, no matter what some

177
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: leftist tells you.

178
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 3: It's not unconstitutional. That's a lie.

179
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: My gosh, do we need Civics lessons in the United States.

180
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: But they will do anything.

181
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: They will engage any amount of power, and they will

182
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: wield it.

183
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: They will use it against you.

184
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: They will beat you over the head with it, they

185
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: will call your mother a skank with it. There is

186
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: nothing they won't do. And Republicans, well, it's not nice,

187
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: not interested in being nice. It's a legal process. What

188
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: are we talking about. I didn't say invent a process.

189
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: I didn't say spy on Americans. I didn't say take

190
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: away people's voting rights. Well, this is going to disenfranchise people. No,

191
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,239
Speaker 2: it won't. How in the world could it possibly disenfranchise

192
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: people if you could still get to the polls. That's

193
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: as ridiculous of a notion as an ID is disenfranchising people. No,

194
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: it is not, It never has been, it never will be.

195
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: It is a lie. The people who are posed to

196
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: voter ID want what they want to be able to

197
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: have the opportunity for fraud. I'm not saying they're going

198
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 2: to get it for sure, but they show us. I'll

199
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: want the opportunity to do it. What other conclusion could

200
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: you come to if you don't want voter ID, if

201
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: you oppose voter ID, there is only one place that

202
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: you end up. There is only one possible answer Democrats talking.

203
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: That is Eric Holder, the former Attorney general, talking about

204
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: the power grab. Oh my gosh, not a power grab.

205
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: Oh this redistricting from Republicans. It's all about a power grab.

206
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: But when Democrats do it, it's just part of what

207
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: has moved I think so well regarding as I said

208
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: regarding this shutdown, is.

209
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: That Republicans have been focused. That's what the Democrats are doing.

210
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: They won't open the government, they won't pay air traffic controllers,

211
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: they won't pay the military.

212
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: Kids are gonna starve. Look what they're doing. And it

213
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: happened to and.

214
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: Today Democrats said no to the continuing Resolution.

215
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: And it's possible that.

216
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: They are indeed waiting for the elections take place today

217
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: because if you heard Jakim Jeffreys there, he said in

218
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: the next day and day and a half, if they

219
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: come to their senses, why would you say day and

220
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: a half, You mean when the election is over, that's

221
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: what you mean. You mean, when the election is over,

222
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: this may all come to.

223
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: An end.

224
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I know it's going to come back again,

225
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: because that's the way these things do happen. Meanwhile, Caroline

226
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: Levitt takes the stage at the press briefing afternoon.

227
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 6: We are now on day thirty five of the Democrat

228
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 6: government shutdown. The Democrats' obstructionism will break the record for

229
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 6: the longest government shutdown in American history tonight. The Democrats

230
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 6: are intentionally hurting American families, workers, and businesses with this

231
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 6: shutdown to fight for free health care for illegal aliens

232
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 6: and to appease their radical left wing base.

233
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 7: And it's a total disgrace.

234
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 6: This past weekend, Americans traveling to weddings, funerals, vacations, and

235
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 6: meetings faced significant flight disruptions at airports across the country

236
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 6: because of staffing shortages. On Sunday alone, more than five

237
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 6: thousand flights traveling to and from US airports were delayed

238
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 6: since the Democrats shutdown began. Four times at the staffing

239
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 6: shortages have been reported at air traffic control facilities. Compared

240
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 6: to last year, TSA checkpoint wait times ballooned past three

241
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 6: hours at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, with some passengers

242
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 6: and dooring up to five hours in line.

243
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 7: At nearby William P.

244
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 6: Hobby Airport in Texas, security eight times are routinely exceeding

245
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 6: one hour. More than thirteen thousand air traffic controllers are

246
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 6: continuing to work without pay because of the Democrats. These

247
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 6: men and women who keep our airspace safe and moving

248
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 6: will miss a second paycheck in a row this Friday.

249
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 6: If Democrats refuse to open the government. Let me be

250
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 6: clear to our incredible air traffic controllers across the country,

251
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 6: President Trump and Republicans want you to get your paychecks.

252
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 7: They want you to be paid.

253
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 6: Please call on your Democrat senators and tell them to

254
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 6: side with President Trump and Republicans to vote to reopen

255
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 6: the government. Our nation's four largest airlines, United, Delta, American,

256
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 6: and Southwest have now all endorsed the Republican nonpartisan clean

257
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 6: funding bill to end the government.

258
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 7: Shutdown, applying the pressure of the ship.

259
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 6: Selectively representing tens of thousands of pilots have also joined

260
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 6: the airlines and calling on Democrats to pass the clean

261
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 6: on artisan cr The travel industry is also imploring Democrats

262
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 6: to end the shutdown and reopen the government. Nearly five

263
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 6: hundred companies and groups in the travel business, including casinos, hotels,

264
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 6: and convention bureaus, assigned a public letter warning that America's

265
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 6: travel economy has already lost four billion dollars due to

266
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 6: this Democrats shutdown, and they have called for the Republican

267
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 6: cr to be passed, saying Americans expect and deserve a

268
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 6: fully functioning federal government during the peak holiday travel season.

269
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 6: Never before have we seen private industry and union leadership

270
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 6: so unified on the same issue, rallying behind Republicans in

271
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 6: such a vocal way. The Democrats have completely lost the plot.

272
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 6: They are endangering the safety, prosperity, and livelihoods of millions

273
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 6: of Americans. It's well past time Democrats do what they

274
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 6: did thirteen times under Joe Biden and passed the Clean

275
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 6: Funding Bill extension.

276
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: It's gross that we needed thirteen continuing resolutions under Joe

277
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: Biden or whoever.

278
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 3: Was drumming with Country Caroline Love. It will continue the

279
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 3: press briefing.

280
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to bring it to you streaming live, YouTube,

281
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: dot com, slash Tony Katz, subscribe and be a part

282
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 2: of it. I've got more kind of up, guys, stay

283
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: right where you are. This is Tony Katz today.

284
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 7: Nation that she has provided to the Trump administration.

285
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 6: I can't speak for her and what she's doing internally

286
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 6: in her country. I can speak for the President and

287
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 6: saying we are continually pushing Mexico to do more to

288
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 6: tackle the drug trafficking and the drug cartels within their country,

289
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 6: and we are working with them in any way that

290
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 6: we can. And the President has obviously used the full

291
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 6: range of executive options and his authorities to crack down

292
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 6: on drug trafficking at our southern border and to designate

293
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 6: these cartels as foreign terrorist organizations in additional actions as well.

294
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 3: Just one more questions.

295
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 6: So, at at the Antifa round table that we were

296
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 6: just last month, myself.

297
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 7: In the other panel was made a recommendation to the

298
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 7: president for you know, speaking of foreign terrorist organizations, to

299
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 7: have Antifa and not just be.

300
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: Domestic terrorist organization.

301
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 8: But if he doesn't as a foreign purist organization since

302
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 8: they have sales in other countries.

303
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 7: He mentioned to Church out of Rubio because he was

304
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 7: in the room at the time.

305
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: To look into that.

306
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 7: So I just want to see if there's if there's

307
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 7: an update.

308
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 6: On that sortivation, that process is most definitely taking place.

309
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 6: I don't have any announcements for you on that.

310
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 2: Today, but why House Press briefing continues. I'm Tony Katz.

311
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz.

312
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: Today.

313
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: The question was about Mexico and cartels from Julia Rosa

314
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: Rojas Rosas, who is with town Hall.

315
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: Very very nice guy, very very good reporter who gets

316
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 3: into the thick of things. We'll take it around the

317
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: horn and see.

318
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 2: What the press is asking about, starting with Jackie Heinrich Fox.

319
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 9: Your administration has taken to intimidate voters with baseless allegations

320
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 9: of voter frauds and.

321
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: Means of trying to repress the voice of Americans across

322
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: this country.

323
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 7: I want to give you a chance to spek to that. Yeah,

324
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 7: I saw those comments from m Dami.

325
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 6: I think they are completely irresponsible and they are based

326
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 6: on the zero evidence. And I think this is just

327
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 6: another example of how the Democrat Party unfortunately stands for nothing.

328
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 6: All they stand against is President Donald Trump. But I

329
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 6: think it's quite sad to see that we have someone

330
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 6: at the top of the ticket on an election day

331
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 6: today saying such things about the president when he obviously

332
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 6: had absolutely nothing to do with those threats and.

333
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 7: On the shutdown.

334
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 9: Democrats have been pretty quiet about the President's push for

335
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 9: vidicular option terminating the philibuster.

336
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 6: Is there a concern around here that Democrats might actually

337
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 6: want Republicans to get philibuster so that one day, when

338
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 6: they're in power again, the door's already open.

339
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 9: For them to pack the Supreme Court give statehood to DC,

340
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 9: and Puerto Rico made Matt Malan balloting permanent, those kinds

341
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 9: of things.

342
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 6: I think the President has been very realistic and strong

343
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 6: in his position on the filibuster. He's been very vocal

344
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: about it. I just spoke to him about it. He

345
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 6: feels really strongly about this. Republicans need to play tough

346
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 6: and they need to play smart. That's how the president feels.

347
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 6: And we know that Democrats when they if they are

348
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 6: ever given a chance at power again in this city,

349
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 6: they will absolutely take away the filibuster from the United

350
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 6: States Senate. In fact, you had forty nine Democrats who

351
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 6: already voted to do this before. The only reason it

352
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 6: did not move forward was because you had two Democrats

353
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 6: who are no longer in office because they were run

354
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 6: out of town by the far left radical base of

355
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 6: their party.

356
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 7: And so President Trump is very quite clear on this.

357
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 6: He wants to see Republicans move as many good pieces

358
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 6: of legislation for our country forward in the next three

359
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 6: years of his administration as they possibly can, and the

360
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 6: filibuster is one means to doing that.

361
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: Yes, but you have to ask yourself what it means

362
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 2: on the other side.

363
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: And that's the whole argument.

364
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: It's not that I have this hard kind of feel

365
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: that we shouldn't get rid of the filibuster, but rather

366
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 2: what does it mean, and what is the tool's purpose

367
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: and where the value is. And I do not believe

368
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: that when you are winning in argument with America, even

369
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 2: though there's a lot of pain happening, that you give

370
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: up a tool that is going to be necessary for

371
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: you if things don't go your way. I don't think

372
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 2: that's what you want to do. And I think that

373
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 2: the President's insistence on getting rid of the filibuster is

374
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: well based on the idea that everybody's in line and

375
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: everybody's on board for whatever is coming next. And I

376
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: don't know if that's true, and I don't know if

377
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: there's a real thought to what happens if you get

378
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: rid of it. What happens to you in twenty twenty six,

379
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: How does that just pops back into play.

380
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: Democrats don't just get rid of it.

381
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: This is of course, again the conversation of politics in general. Yes,

382
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: Democrats will get rid of philibuster and a chance that

383
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: they had. Does that mean that we do it? Just

384
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: because they want something doesn't mean you don't do it

385
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: or do it. It means what is best for the

386
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 2: policies that will best move the nation. That requires a

387
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 2: little bit of thought and not just some reaction to

388
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: something specific at the moment.

389
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 3: Back to the Press.

390
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 6: Secretary Food, who need this assistance from the United States government.

391
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 6: Democrats are holding it up and making it difficult for

392
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 6: the administration to get those payments out the door.

393
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 7: So if you are at home and you want your.

394
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 6: Staff benefits, call the Democrats and tell them to reopen

395
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 6: the government, locking.

396
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 7: That contingency fund for the future. If this shutdown lingers

397
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 7: on loo if.

398
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: The President does not want to have to continue to

399
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 6: dip into a contingency fund that doesn't even have enough money,

400
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 6: by the way, to fund the full program. It takes

401
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 6: nine billion to get the full scale of the benefits

402
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 6: out the door. This contingency Fund only has about five

403
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 6: billion dollars in it. So again, Democrats need to reopen

404
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 6: the government so we can get these benefits out the

405
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 6: door for people who truly need them.

406
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 7: Kate, thanks.

407
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 6: The President suggested that a bumbdining wins that you would

408
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 6: cut federal funding.

409
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 7: To New York. How much funding would be impacted for

410
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 7: the impacted there.

411
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 6: Well, look, we won't get ahead of the election result,

412
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 6: nor will I speak to what the President may do

413
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 6: in the future. We'll see how tonight goes, and then

414
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 6: I'll let him speak on it further. And why did

415
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 6: the administration exclude Democratic lawmakers?

416
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 7: Last week there was a briefing about US strikes on

417
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 7: elitged drug trafficking boats. Why were those Democrats excluded?

418
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 6: The administration has briefed Congress on these matters eight separate times,

419
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 6: and Democrats have been included in those briefings. In fact,

420
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 6: I know that Secretary Rubio will be on Capitol Hill

421
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 6: tomorrow to brief the Gang of Twelve, which includes Democrats

422
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 6: as well. So the presidents made it very clear if

423
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 6: Senators want to understand the administrations operations against narco drug traffickers,

424
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 6: we are very happy.

425
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 7: To speak with them about that, and we will continue

426
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 7: to do so.

427
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 2: But this news came out yesterday that President Trump has

428
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: ordered more briefings to members of Congress about what's happening

429
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: with Venezuela, what's going on with the cartels, that there

430
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 2: is a reason for these things happening, all these things

431
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: are happening above board.

432
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: It isn't going to change those members of Congress.

433
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: We're saying, you're engaged in a war against Venezuela, and

434
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: you don't get to do that without us. We declare war,

435
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 2: not you. So before we go another step, let's let's

436
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: get into it and asking for a declaration of war

437
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 2: and let us debate it. That's where Congress is at

438
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: for sure. But the briefings, I mean helpful. I don't

439
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: think they're going to change Congress's view of how they

440
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: view their power to declare war. And they're not going

441
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: to allow themselves to be usurped by the executive, no

442
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: matter who the executive is.

443
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: That's my take.

444
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 6: At floor to vote for the clean continuing Resolution, he

445
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 6: had the Senate a majority leader and the House Caucus leader,

446
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 6: Hekeem Jeffries here at the White House to talk about this.

447
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 7: In the very early stages to give them a chance

448
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 7: to come to.

449
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 6: Their senses and avoid this entire government shutdown at the

450
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 6: very beginning, and they chose not to.

451
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 7: And I think it's been very.

452
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 6: Clear to everyone in this room and to everyone across

453
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 6: the country that the Democrats are playing partisan politics with

454
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 6: our United States federal government. And all Republicans have wanted

455
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 6: to do for the last thirty five days is reopen

456
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 6: the government. That has been the President's position since day one.

457
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 6: It is his position today on day thirty five. And

458
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 6: all we need are five common sense Democrats with have

459
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 6: a little bit of courage and come to the table

460
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 6: and vote with Republicans. I saw Senator John Fetterman on

461
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 6: television last night saying that he hopes more folks in

462
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 6: his party will step up, and we certainly agree with

463
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 6: him on that point.

464
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 8: Sure kieron the President posted on True Socialists of voting

465
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 8: underway in California is quote rigged.

466
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 6: What evidence does he have that and what does it

467
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 6: mean that mail and balants in that state are under

468
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 6: a legal and criminal review by whom and why? And

469
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 6: also in this vein, does the White House still plan

470
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 6: to issue an executive order banning mail and voting and.

471
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 7: What the legal authority do you have to do that.

472
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 6: The White House is working on an executive order to

473
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 6: strengthen our elections in this country and to ensure that

474
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 6: there can be latant fraud as we've seen in California

475
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 6: with their universal mail in voting system. It's absolutely true

476
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 6: that there are fraud in there's fraud in California's elections.

477
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 7: It's just a fact. It is just a fact.

478
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 6: They have a universal mail in voting system which we

479
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 6: know is ripe for fraud. And if you want to

480
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 6: deny that, I'm happy to provide you all of the other.

481
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: Right fraud, there is fraud. These are two different things.

482
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 6: Fraudulent ballots that are being in and those of the

483
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 6: llegal aliens who shouldn't be voting, for the examples.

484
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 7: And we have to provide them.

485
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 6: As for executive action, the White House is taking Yes,

486
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 6: we are looking into that. And like any executive order,

487
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 6: of course, any executive order the President's signs is within

488
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 6: his full executive authority and within the confines of the law.

489
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 7: Stephen, thank you, Carolyn.

490
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 8: I've got two questions I'd like to ask you about

491
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 8: New York. But first i'd like to ask you about

492
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 8: breaking news from the Attorney General.

493
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 7: She revealed just about an hour ago.

494
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 8: That the Justice of Biding Justice Department sees President Trump's

495
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 8: official first term phone and subpoenat his private bone records.

496
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 8: If you have a reaction to that, and also do

497
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 8: we know if they actually got those private call records.

498
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 6: I saw the Attorney General's post on that. For additional questions,

499
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 6: I would refer you to the Department of Justice. But

500
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 6: I think this is just further evidence of the egregious

501
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 6: overreach and weaponization of government that took place under the

502
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 6: previous White House against then former President and now President

503
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 6: Donald J.

504
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 7: Trump.

505
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 6: It was a clear effort by the Biden White House

506
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 6: and the Biden DOJ to go after the president and

507
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 6: this is just further evidence of that.

508
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 7: On New York, we've seen the president's messages that he's

509
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 7: put out, but can you describe how he's feeling as

510
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 7: a New Yorker watching this election.

511
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 6: He lives in Florida, not being president, is a New

512
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 6: Yorker and he loves New York.

513
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 7: It is his home.

514
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 6: He talks about that all of the time, and he's

515
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 6: made his thoughts on this election quite clear.

516
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 7: I think himself.

517
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: That's true enough. He said yesterday. Listen, you gotta vote

518
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: for Cuomo. There's nothing else you can do. That's what

519
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: he said about the New York election. Curtis Leewa must

520
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: not be happy at all. You gotta vote for Cuoma.

521
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: You gotta keep this comedy out of office. What else

522
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: are you going to do? Basically is what President Trump said.

523
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 3: More from Caroline Levitt coming up.

524
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: White House press briefing continues, This is Tony Katz today.

525
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 7: Speak of the funeral. Has he spoken to anyone in

526
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 7: the Cheating family today? And does the White House have

527
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 7: an opinion on.

528
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 9: Whether or not the former vice president should lie in

529
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 9: honor or staying the helpold.

530
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 6: I don't believe the White House is involved in that planning,

531
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 6: or at least haven't hasn't gotten to it yet. I

532
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 6: know the President is aware of the former vice president's passing,

533
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 6: and as you saw, flags have been lowered to half

534
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 6: staff in accordance with statutory law.

535
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 7: Jasmine, thank you.

536
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: That was Caroline Levitt skirting the Dick Cheney conversation. Thankful

537
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: to have it out of the way, Tony Katz, Tony

538
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: Katz today, Good.

539
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: To be with you.

540
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: The question is the White House going to do anything

541
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: regarding the death of former Vice presid Dick Cheney, who

542
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: passed away last night at the age of eighty four.

543
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: And the answer as well, flags are at half staff

544
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: because that's statute. But the question was is he gonna

545
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: have any honors, is he gonna lie in state anything else?

546
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: The flags have been lowered according to statute. That's as

547
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: much of an answer as you're gonna get. And that's

548
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: all that Trump is going to do for anybody with

549
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: the last name of Cheney. January sixth Commission being the

550
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: front reason there. This is the press briefing with the

551
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: White House Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt. Of course, conversations

552
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 2: about the shutdown. Democrats would get things open. The airlines

553
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: want the air traffic controllers paid, the airlines want Democrats

554
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: to come to the table. Everybody wants Democrats to vote

555
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: for this peel away from Chuck Schumer and vote to

556
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: reopen this government. That is the continual message from Caroline Levitt.

557
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: Let's take it back to her right now.

558
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 7: President Trump said to CBS the Sixteen Minutes interview that he.

559
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 6: Did not know the finance founder which he pardoned, what

560
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 6: exactly did he mean for that. I know he means

561
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 6: he does not know him personally. He means he does

562
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 6: not have a personal relationship with this individual.

563
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 7: And when it.

564
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 6: Comes to pardons, the White House takes them with the

565
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 6: utmost seriousness. And the President understands the responsibility that he

566
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 6: has as president to issue clemency and issue pardons to

567
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 6: individuals who are seeking that. That's why we have a

568
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 6: very thorough review process here that moves with the Department

569
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 6: of Justice. In the White House Counsel's Office, there's a

570
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 6: whole team of qualified lawyers who look at every single

571
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 6: part in request that ultimately make their way up to

572
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 6: the President of the United States.

573
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: He's the older You gotta admit that when you're answering

574
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: the question about why did you pardon the guy who

575
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: runs Binance b I n A Nce And you're like,

576
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: I don't know the guy. It's a bad answer. You

577
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: created it. He created a news story for you, Caroline.

578
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: That's that's that's on him, and it's it's it's gonna

579
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: be one of those things that sticks. So he's given

580
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: pardons to people he doesn't know, right that that's how

581
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: that one sticks.

582
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: And I mean the President did that to himself on.

583
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 7: That one, on that one acting that rule.

584
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: Then again, I don't know why he goes on sixty

585
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: minutes anyway, what's he doing? What's the point, what's the win?

586
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: But it does say this, the guy will talk to anyone.

587
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.

588
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 7: He said that the.

589
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 9: White House is open to discussing that with Democrats. But

590
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 9: what would that discussion even be. There was a law

591
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 9: the president signed in twenty nineteen. What could a discussion

592
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 9: look like? Why is it even open for discussion?

593
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 6: Look, kroen As I said, Republicans are talking about that

594
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 6: with Democrats right now, and I don't want to get

595
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 6: in the middle of those sensitive conversations. But as we've

596
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 6: complied with the Snap order, the White House, the administration

597
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 6: is always going to comply with the laws, were always

598
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 6: going to comply with the ruling of judges across the country.

599
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 6: But the Republicans are discussing this matter with Democrats right now.

600
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 7: Why would there even be a consideration of not hanging.

601
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: Those works usetation Big day in the Stili Court.

602
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: Tomorrow with President Trump's US right past, the snap converseales true?

603
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: What's at stake with that case?

604
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 7: If the Supreme Court against the Trump administration.

605
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: What does plan be for trade policies?

606
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 6: I'll tell you the White House is always preparing for

607
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 6: Plan B. It would be imprudent of the President's advisors

608
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 6: not to prepare for such a situation. With that said,

609
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 6: we are one hundred percent confident in the President and

610
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 6: his team's legal argument in the merits of the law

611
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 6: in this case, and we remain optimistic that the Supreme

612
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 6: Court is going to do the right thing. The importance

613
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 6: of this case cannot be overstated. The president must have

614
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 6: the emergency authority to utilize tariffs. Look at what President

615
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 6: Trump has been able to do with the leverage and

616
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 6: the power of tariffs. He's been able to sign peace

617
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 6: deals all over the world and end global conflicts and

618
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 6: literally save lives. He's been able to bring in trillions

619
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 6: of dollars of investments into our country.

620
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 7: In fact, this.

621
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 6: Year alone, we are going to cut the deficit by

622
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 6: six hundred billion dollars, namely because of the President's effective

623
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 6: use of terras.

624
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: That may be true, and the other side of it

625
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: is it might not be under his purview. And that's

626
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: what the Supreme Court is going to be engaged with. Tomorrow,

627
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 2: whether or not the president has the authority to unilaterally

628
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 2: impose tariffs. This under federal emergency powers law, which I

629
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: think goes to the idea of what's the emergency? And
