President Trump's argument in the speech 48 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: to which Chuck Schumer is trying to pretend did not 49 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: take place, is that because we have so much fraud, 50 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: because there is so much fraud, we are seeing outrageous 51 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: costs here, there and everywhere. 52 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Because we are seeing. 53 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: This, for example, the fraud with Somalis, it's stealing. 54 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: Money from us. 55 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: And because it's stealing money from us, because it's you 56 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: have all these things happening, it's costing us more every 57 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: single day. 58 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: That's his argument. 59 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: So Chuck Schumer can pretend that these issues about costs 60 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: were not brought up, But of course they were brought up. 61 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: They were brought up in great, great, great detail. 62 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: By the President. 63 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 4: But what. 64 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: And angrily screamed about by progressives. 65 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 5: It comes to the corruption that is plundering it. Really, 66 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 5: it's plundering America. There's been no more stunning example than Minnesota. 67 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 5: The members of the Somali community have pillaged and estimated 68 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 5: nineteen billion dollars from the America taxpayer. We have all 69 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 5: the information and in actuality. The number is much higher 70 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 5: than that in California, Massachusetts, Maine, and many others states 71 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 5: are even worse. This is the kind of corruption that 72 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 5: shreds the fabric of a nation, and we are working 73 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 5: on it like you wouldn't believe. 74 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: Work faster. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to 75 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: say that to the President. I never forget he works 76 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: for me. He works for me. Work faster, more arrests. 77 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: How about some Epstein arrests. I want to see a 78 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: lot of things. I want faster work in a lot 79 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: of places. But yes, I agree with you, mister President. 80 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: The fraud of Minneapolis is just to start the frauda 81 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: Minnesota is just to start all these states, all states 82 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: dealing with major fraud. 83 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 5: So tonight, although started four months, I am officially announcing 84 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 5: the war on fraud, to be led by our great 85 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 5: Vice President JD. 86 00:05:47,080 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: Vance. JD. Get a little bit of love right there. 87 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 5: He'll get it done. 88 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 4: Find enough of that fraud. 89 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 5: We will actually have a balanced budget overnight. 90 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 4: It'll go very quickly. 91 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 5: That's the kind of money you're talking about, will balance 92 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 5: our budget. The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us 93 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 5: that there are large parts of the work. Should and 94 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 5: lawlessness are the norm, not the exception. Importing these cultures 95 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 5: through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right 96 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 5: here to the USA. 97 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 4: And it is the American people who. 98 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 5: Pay the price and higher medical bills, car insurance rates, 99 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 5: rent taxes, and perhaps most importantly crime. 100 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: Now let's go back to Chuck Shimmer saying that President 101 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: Trump didn't address these things. 102 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 1: He just did. Now, if you want. 103 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: To argue that he's wrong about the data, go right ahead, 104 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 2: But that isn't what Chuck Schumer said. What Chuck Schumer 105 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: said is this is not. 106 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: The speech you're looking for. 107 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: As if in any way he could be a Jedi, 108 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: that's Chuck Schumer in this story. If we're doing Star 109 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: Wars comparisons, is Jar Jar Binks just making sure we 110 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: all understand what's going on here, or he's that general 111 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: who gets choked to death by Vader. I don't know 112 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: who that guy was, but he's one of those two. 113 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: And I'll let you guys fight it out because you're 114 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: way more nerdy than me. Chuck Schumer is not engaged 115 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: in the conversation as you and I are. He wants 116 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: to change the subject. 117 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: But it is a very hard thing to do. It's 118 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: very difficult to change the subject. 119 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 2: And as you heard as President Trump was was speaking, 120 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: you heard this, these these voices in the in the background. 121 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: That was. 122 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: The Democrats screaming at Trump. That was Ilhan Omar and 123 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: Rashida Talib. That did not help, didn't help in the slightest. 124 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: All you looked was weak. All you look was soft, 125 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: like you're you're, you're, you're missing. 126 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: The moment. 127 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: And they did outlet after outlet after outlet saying Trump 128 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: really did put on a show. He did engage rhetorically 129 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: in a very very well put together way to be 130 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: able to set the stage to show what it is 131 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: we are for, meaning Republicans, and what it is Democrats 132 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: are against, and what they are against is low taxes 133 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: because they cheered, let me say this again for the 134 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: people in the chief seats, they cheered a tax increase. 135 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: They were overjoyed by the tax increase. 136 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: Here last year, I urged this Congress to begin the 137 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 4: mission by passing the largest tax cuts in American history, 138 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 4: and our Republican majorities delivered so beautifully. 139 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 5: Thank you, Republicans, all Democrats, every single one of them. 140 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 5: Voted against these really important and very necessary massive tax cuts. 141 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: And that's them cheering it.

He should have been physically tossed from 337 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: the chain, and I will tell you that some people 338 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: tried to grab the sign. Steve Scalise tried to grab 339 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: the sign from him as he's walking behind President Trump 340 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 2: because President Trump just dismissed him, walked right by him, and. 341 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: Scalise wasn't able to grab it. 342 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen walked over to al Green. 343 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: Mark Mark WAYN. 344 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 2: Mullen's not a small cat, right For those of you 345 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 2: who listened to the show on KRMG, he did it, 346 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: and he tried to grab the sign. Oh, I want 347 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: to know the words that were said. And then after 348 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 2: a while there were seats in front of of al 349 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 2: Green and Senator Mullins. I forget the other senator moved 350 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 2: their seats to stand in front of him. 351 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna stand in front of him the whole time. 352 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: At that moment, somebody else came over and told al 353 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: Green that he has to leave. Al Green should have 354 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 2: been removed from the chamber by the speaker. It was 355 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: a miss from the speaker of the House. He should 356 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 2: have done that. He should have done it immediately and 357 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: set the tone. Well, if you do that, Tony here 358 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: bringing more attention to it. With all due respect, I 359 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 2: live in the world of social media. There's already attention 360 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 2: to it. That's Algreen. All this talk Trump, racist, Trump, 361 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 2: sexist Trump, Nazi Trump, destroying democracy, a third assassination attempt. 362 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 2: The desire is more assassination attempts. That's their desire. This 363 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 2: only goes in one direction. How many more ways do 364 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 2: we have to see that these people are desperate to 365 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 2: call out a lone wolf. It is what it is, 366 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: what it is. That's not the only story out there. 367 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: There is pressure on Representative Tony Gonzales to resign because 368 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 2: the story is Representative Gonzales of Texas, so I know 369 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 2: very little about had an affair with a staffer who 370 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 2: later killed herself. So there are Republicans who want him 371 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: to resign or at least to end his reelection campaign. 372 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: The resign is. 373 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: A tough one because now Republicans don't have control of 374 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: the House. There are people who can have campaign for 375 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: him now distancing themselves. So it's NBC News with the 376 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 2: reporting in this one said the Office of Congressional Conduct 377 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: is going to send a report to the House Ethics Committee. 378 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: It's against House's Code of conduct for members to have 379 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 2: sexual relations with staff members. So that's the story that 380 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 2: there may have been a relationship, an affair that he 381 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 2: had with a staffer. And then that woman did she 382 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: set herself on fire? Is she that woman? I think 383 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: she's that woman. Regina Santos Avulis. She was a staffer 384 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 2: of Tony Gonzalez, and she set herself on fire in 385 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: her backyard this September twenty twenty five. Now, she says 386 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 2: she discovered that her austraied husband was romantically involved with 387 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: her best friend. She died the following morning. Medical examiner 388 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: rules her death of suicide. The husband blames Gonzales for 389 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: contributing to the collapse of their marriage and accused him 390 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 2: of an abusive power. 391 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: It's really a story here. 392 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: I'm going to make the assumption that political reality is 393 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: going to win out at least right now, that they 394 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: need to hold onto the house, and they're not going 395 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 2: to try and move him out, Maybe try and get 396 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 2: him to not run for reelection. Maybe then there's a 397 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: story that you can't sue the post Office And I 398 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 2: did not know that this was a thing. This is 399 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: COTUS blog court holds that the US Postal Service can't 400 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 2: be sued over intentionally misdelivered mail. 401 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: Now, wait a second, we're. 402 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: Not talking about when they accidentally put my catalog in 403 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 2: the neighbor's mailbox. I know what you're saying to me, 404 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: Tony who still gets catalogs? And I will say to you, 405 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 2: I like the Adam and Eve Winter collection. No, yes, Wait, 406 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 2: is this why we don't have more syndicated stations? 407 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: Is this what? 408 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 2: Now? 409 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: I get a rolling Goya? Screw it, guys, this is 410 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: the show we do. This is this? Is it? 411 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 4: You know? 412 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 413 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 4: I don't know. 414 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. I don't I 415 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: don't know what this is. This is it? Enjoy It's 416 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: a five to four decision. 417 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: So a law that protects the US Postal Service from 418 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 2: lawsuits over miscarried, lost or miscarried mail bars lawsuits over 419 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: mail that was intentionally misdelivered. And there's a descent written 420 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: by soor Kagan and Brown, Jackson and Neil Gorsuch. She 421 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: argues that the majority opinion provides the Postal Service more 422 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 2: protection from lawsuits than Congress and intended to give it. 423 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 2: Quote is not the role of the judiciary, So supplant 424 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: the choice Congress made because it would have chosen differently. 425 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: Well, I would like to see the court live up 426 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: to that one. 427 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: But I did not know that there was a law 428 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: that protects the postal service from lawsuits over lost from 429 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 2: its carried mail. But this is different, inten intentionally misdelivered. 430 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: What is this to is this the I'm assuming this 431 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: is the original script to Goodfellas they stopped sending the 432 00:29:53,080 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 2: mail Altogether. I do love the arcade, and that is 433 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: pretty dang arcane. 434 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: Then there's this. This is a bit of polling. And 435 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: what does the polling tell us. 436 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 2: The polling tells us that if we go back to 437 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 2: two thousand and one and we take a look at 438 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: the question how proud are you to be an American? 439 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: Extremely proud, very. 440 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 2: Proud, moderately proud, only a little proud, or not proud 441 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 2: at all? It has three lines, a red line for Republican, 442 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: a kind of greenish grayish line for independence, and a 443 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 2: blue line for Democrats. And what you will see is 444 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 2: something we talk about all the time. What you will 445 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 2: see is that the Republican Party has basically stayed constant 446 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: somewhere between eighty seven somewhere between eighty and one hundred 447 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 2: percent since two thousand and one, past twenty five years 448 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 2: mostly proud to be an American. Independence went from the 449 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 2: eighties down to the fifties, and Democrats went from eighty 450 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 2: seven percent. 451 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: Down to thirty six percent. 452 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: Why is this graph important, Well, Tony, it tells us 453 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 2: exactly the kind of horrible things that are taught in 454 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: school that make people be an American. Yes, I will 455 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 2: agree with that. But also what it tells us is 456 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 2: everything we've said about the right not changing its position 457 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 2: the left has just gotten further left. 458 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: Is true. 459 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 2: There's a right, and there's a left, and then there's 460 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: the center. What has happened is the right hasn't gone 461 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: far right. The right has been and the polling shows it, 462 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: the data shows it exactly where it's been. The left 463 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 2: has gone further left, so the center has seen more right. 464 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 2: So the center has to now come to the center, 465 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 2: which has moved. 466 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: More to the left. 467 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 2: And therefore people who have stayed right where they are 468 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 2: are now called the far right because look how far 469 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 2: the left has moved the center. 470 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: That'll blow your mind. That's exactly what's happened. 471 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: Let me answer a question about whether or not Democrats 472 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: were right not to show up. 473 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: To the State of the Union. That comes up next. 474 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony 475 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: Katz today. 476 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 2: President Trump wanted to do away with insider trading for 477 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 2: members of Congress. 478 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 4: And what what uh? 479 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: You had screaming from Illana, mar and Rashida's leaving a 480 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 2: bunch of Democrats? 481 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: You do that too? 482 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 2: Well, how about nobody do that? How about we cheer 483 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 2: it and say nobody do that, no insider trading. That's 484 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 2: that's a great idea. Let's let's get that done. Tony Katz, 485 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, Good to be with you. I was 486 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: asked a question, and it was a question about the 487 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: Democrats who didn't show up. Right, A bunch of Democrats 488 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: decided that they were going to boycott the state of 489 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 2: the Union. They look pathetic, we said, pathetic. These are 490 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: are truly truly some beta male people. But someone said, 491 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: it seems to them that's here it is, Jeffrey. It 492 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 2: looked to me the Democrats who didn't show up made 493 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 2: the correct move. 494 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: And my point to you is, I understand that as a. 495 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 2: Immediate response, right, almost a reflexive response, better not be 496 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: there at all. Let me give you a counter and 497 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 2: just see whether you agree with it or disagree with it. 498 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 2: The counter is, by not being there, you made the 499 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 2: Democratic Party look weak because they couldn't mount to any defense. 500 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 2: They had no strength in voice, they only had half 501 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 2: their voice. They were missing seventy people. By not being there, 502 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 2: President Trump was able to truly overwhelm. They sounded like 503 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 2: petulant little children. They sounded like teenage girls upset that 504 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 2: they didn't make the cheerleading squad what they sounded like. 505 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 2: And that's not a look that as a political party 506 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 2: you want. You don't seem like a strong opposition when 507 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 2: you do that, So you can argue they shouldn't have 508 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 2: shown up.
