1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Live from ball Hartland and the Crossroads of America.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today.

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: We obviously see those you know, those folks every single day.

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 3: They do great work here in Connecticut. I am so

5
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: sad that they are working for a president that is

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: committed to the scale of illegality and brutality.

7
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 2: This is what John said, right.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 3: We swore an oath when we became us senators and

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: congressman that we would uphold the Constitution and that we

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 3: would in turn refuse to fund a government that was

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: deliberately acting illegally.

12
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: No one's acting illegally, Chris Murphy. This is what happens

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: when you're a bata mail and your pee sitting down?

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: Well, sorry, was that too soon? Was that too early

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: in the show? Did I have to wait? Because I'll

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: come back to that.

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: No, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be here,

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: Good to be with you. No one is acting illegally.

19
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: No one is acting illegally regarding a rand. No one

20
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: is acting illegally regarding ice.

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: No one. That's a lie.

22
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: So why don't you instead, Senator Murphy, you absolute manchild,

23
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Why don't you just say there have been actions that

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: we disapprove of and then why don't you really say,

25
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: we want to hurt Donald Trump in the midterms. We

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: think this will do it, and we don't care if

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Americans die in the process. Hurting Trump is our number

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: one goal. F that guy, why not just say it.

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: By the way, you're standing next to a guy, Richard Blumenthal,

30
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: fellow senator from Connecticut who lied about his Vietnam service.

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: Don't go and let sure to us regarding morality, sir,

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: you don't have it. You're not capable of it. They're

33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: not funding the Department of Homeland Security. Even though Christy

34
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: Nome has been let go, she will no longer be

35
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: the Secretary of Homeland Security. As we discussed yesterday, it

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: will be Mark wayn Mullen. There will be the nomination

37
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: is already there. There will be a confirmation hearings in

38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: the Senate as they are required to do. I assume

39
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: it'll be fifty two votes.

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: That's my.

41
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: That is my take that it will be fifty two votes,

42
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: and Mark Wayne Mullen will be approved as the next

43
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. These people aren't interested in a

44
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: better country. They're interested in the destruction of their political enemies.

45
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: Solely and exclusively, nothing else.

46
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: But let us take it to Iran, where the President

47
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: has been very clear, unconditional surrender. As we're hearing the reporting,

48
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: they have no capacity right now to fight back. It's

49
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: not air superiority. It is as described air supremacy. We

50
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: control the skies over Iran and over Tehran. We have

51
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: engaged a massive bombing assault on Tehran, and we have

52
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: been told that a surge is coming. We've been told

53
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: that there is more that will take place. It has

54
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: been seven days. We're also hearing that the Russians are

55
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: now giving the Iranians locations of US military assets. Well,

56
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: if that's the way they want to play it, if

57
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: that's what they want to do, I'm not sure how

58
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: the response is going to go. I can't tell you

59
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: whether or not there is going to be some type

60
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: of retaliation against the Russians for aiding the Iranian regime.

61
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: The question is whether or not the Iranian regime exists

62
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: after this. What does it mean unconditional surrender? President Trump

63
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: putting on a truth social that the only thing he's

64
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: willing to accept is this unconditional surrender. There will be

65
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender after that, and

66
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: the selection of a great and acceptable leader. And he

67
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: puts s in parentheses, meaning leaders, we and many of

68
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: our wonderful and very brave vllies and partners will work

69
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction,

70
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

71
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: Iran will have a great future, make a Ran great again.

72
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J.

73
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: Trump.

74
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: And you say to me, well, well, well, Donald Trump

75
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: is involved in nation building. For the record, to pose

76
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: on every level any dollar for nation building. I would

77
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: absolutely favor them using oil money to rebuild whatever it

78
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: was that was destroyed. I'd favor that every day of

79
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the week and twice on Sunday. Nation building of Iran. No, no, no, no,

80
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: They're going to have to rebuild. But they've got the

81
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: dollars by which they can do.

82
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: So.

83
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: What seems obvious is that they do not have the

84
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: capability to fight back. That that seems to be over.

85
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: The IDF has launched its fifteenth wave of strikes on

86
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime, getting infrastructure in Tehran and in Isfahan.

87
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: The question is, how are you going to break the IRGC.

88
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: The question, the only question is how will you get

89
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: them to crack? How will you get them to walk

90
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: away so the people can walk out of their doors

91
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: without being shot at.

92
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: That is the question and I don't have.

93
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: That answer, don't have that for you, but I can

94
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: tell you that we do have a very interesting look.

95
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: At who our allies are. This is Keir Starmer.

96
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: This is the British Prime Minister, and we have discussed

97
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: that he has been absolutely wimpy on this subject.

98
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: This was him, I believe this morning.

99
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: The long standing British position he's the best way forward

100
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: for the regime on the world is a negotiated settlement

101
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 4: with her on where they give up their nuclear ambitions. Now,

102
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: that's why I took the decision that the UK would

103
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: not join the initial strikes on Iran by the US

104
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 4: and Israel. Now that decision was deliberate, it was in

105
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 4: the national interest and I stand by it. But when

106
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: Iran started attacking countries around the Gulf and the wider region,

107
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: the situation changed. Iran has now five drones and missiles,

108
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: but ten countries that did not attack them. These are

109
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 4: allies of the UK, where we have hundreds of thousands

110
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: of British people as well as British military personnel. Our

111
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: number one priority is protecting our people, so.

112
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: We didn't want to get involved, and then we had

113
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,559
Speaker 1: to get involved because it turns out the Iranian regime

114
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: is totally unstable.

115
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: We could have told you.

116
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: That that's not why you didn't get involved, and we

117
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: really do have to ask ourselves whether or not this

118
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: Britain is indeed our Oh so tony, we have to

119
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: agree with you about everything in order to be an ally.

120
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: Let's start with a baseline.

121
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: If you don't agree that the Iranian regime is a

122
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: terrorist regime, we can't agree about anything.

123
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: We're not going to agree about.

124
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: Anything, which leads us to Democrats. There was a vote,

125
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: a non binding resolution that reaffirms that Iran is the

126
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: largest state sponsor.

127
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 2: Of terrorism in the world.

128
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: Very simple stuff, stuff that we know to be true.

129
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: Iran sponsors terrorism the end. When they had this vote

130
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years back.

131
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: Maybe it was just last year, it was four hundred.

132
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: And twenty people to one person. I forget who the

133
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: one person was. Right now some of they want to

134
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: look it up. I appreciate it. This vote, this vote

135
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: as to the idea of who voted, while fifty three.

136
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: Democrats voted against.

137
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: In the House of Representatives, fifty three Democrats voted against

138
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: a simple statement that Iran is the world's leading state

139
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: sponsor of terrorism. Every Republican Thomas Massey voted in favor

140
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: of such a thing. Wait did he Well, there were

141
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: three no votes, so maybe he didn't. Maybe he just

142
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: didn't vote.

143
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: Who votes against such a thing that we know to

144
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: be true?

145
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: Congressman Andre Carson of Indianapolis, Congressman Rashida Talieba Michigan, Congressman

146
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: ilhan O Mahr.

147
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: Of Minnesota. I should have said, congress Woman.

148
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes it just say in the vernacular, let the sexist

149
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: people send me an email. Go ahead, go ahead. If

150
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: you're upset, send me an email. Send it to Hugh

151
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: Hewett at yahoo dot com. Representative of Costier Court says

152
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: as I said, voted against it. Iana Presley voted against it.

153
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: McIver, the one.

154
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: Who tried to enter the ice fatilities in New Jersey

155
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: and was attacking ice agents, voted against it. Rocanna voted

156
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: against it. Dear Lord Eric Swawall voted in favor.

157
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: How much of a leftist do you have? To be

158
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: not to vote for something that is so obvious.

159
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: So our issue is not just with Great Britain, it

160
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: is with a radical, despicable progressive party that won't admit.

161
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: That it ran as the enemy of free and thinking

162
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: people because it is. It just is.

163
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: So am I supposed to listen to them or their

164
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: leftist akolai when they scream and yell about look at

165
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: this war that America has started. America didn't start this war.

166
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Just make sure we keep that in mind. This got

167
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: started when the Iranian regime took hostages in nineteen seventy nine.

168
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: That's when it got started. So let's not kid ourselves.

169
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: What is the left going to say? Now, well, look

170
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: at this. You attack Iran and then you bomb the girls' school.

171
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: If you remember, the reporting was was that this school

172
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: got bombed, and then it was look what the Israelis did.

173
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: And then there was the reporting of an Iranian missile

174
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: misfired and hit the school.

175
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 2: It immediately was look what the Israelis did. Then it

176
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: was looks like Iranian misfire.

177
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Now the United States is looking at it because what

178
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: if they hit the wrong target and what if they

179
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: hit this school that killed one.

180
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: Hundred and sixty girls.

181
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: That's horrifying, and there are people who are going to

182
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: be called to the carpet on it, and I would

183
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: argue rightfully, so rightfully. So I want to make sure

184
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: that my position is clear. We're all on the same subject.

185
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: The left doesn't. The political right, i should say, doesn't

186
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: want to call it a war. The left is calling

187
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: it a war, and they're saying that's why you need

188
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: to have Congress declare war and all that.

189
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: The right is calling it a conflict.

190
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: And for the record, the president is well within his

191
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: authority with the War Powers Act.

192
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: He just is.

193
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: There's no debate here. End of list. Thank you, Cleveland,

194
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: good night. I don't care what the left says. The

195
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: president is well within his authority. When you make a mistake,

196
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: if the mistake was made, well, some people are gonna

197
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: have to answer why they made the mistake.

198
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: You know, they call war hell for a reason.

199
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: I don't like this. I want to know what happened,

200
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: investigate away. That's the difference between us and them. By

201
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: the way, they killed one hundred and sixty kids, they'd

202
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: be like great. Oh, by the way, I'm not so

203
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: sure I believe the number because that's what Iranian state

204
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: media is reporting. What am I gonna do? Believe them

205
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: like I believe Hamas? No thanks, not going for that game.

206
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: But you'll notice we take it seriously that we.

207
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: Are now investigating. These things will happen and it's awful.

208
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: Does that change my mind about taking out the Iranian

209
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: regime which has murdered tens of thousands of Iranian citizens,

210
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 1: Never mind their attacks on Americans, whether it's citizens or

211
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: whether it's members of our military. Not for a second.

212
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: The weakness of the left does not move me at all.

213
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: I do not cower in the corner from their screaming, yelling, catterwauling,

214
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: and clutching the pearls. They aren't serious people. They won't

215
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: even recognize that Iran is the state sponsor of terrorism.

216
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: Fifty three out of what two hundred and twelve are there,

217
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of Democrats can't even admit.

218
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: That Iran sponsors terrorism.

219
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: No wonder you see all the insanity on social media

220
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: that you see.

221
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: These people aren't serious, not serious.

222
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm waiting to see whether or not the regime folds,

223
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: weather it collapses, and I'm waiting to see what leadership

224
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: comes in place.

225
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: And I want it.

226
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: I want it written in stone that it will be

227
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: no one connected to the Iatola or the current ruling

228
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: class of Mother's hardliners and clerics who are murderers and abusers.

229
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: And then.

230
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: When Iran is no longer a terrorist regime, let us

231
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: look to see what happened in every action and who

232
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: amongst us needs to be held responsible, because.

233
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: That's who we are. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz. Today.

234
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: Was everybody waiting to drop all the insanity about James

235
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: tall Rico, the Democrat candidate for Senate in Texas hole

243
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: in June of twenty twenty two, sent a letter to

244
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: the President of the United States. Remember he was a

245
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: state rep in Texas at the time, and he sends

246
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: a letter to President Biden.

247
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: Dear mister President, writes James.

248
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Tell Rico, this is who the Democrats nominated over Jasmine

249
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Crockett to be their nominee, just proving that Texas Democrats

250
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: are racist.

251
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: They all talk about, uh.

252
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: You know, uh, the the the whiteness and and and

253
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: the patriarchy and and the whitey white white white and

254
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: all the white white white and then what do they do.

255
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: They elect the whitest person humanly possible him and the

256
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: other whitest person humanly possible, Stephen Colbert, conspired to keep

257
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: a black woman, Jasmine Crockett, off of TV.

258
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: I for one am shocked. Hold on, let's just in

259
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm not shocked. I'm not shocked. In in it in

260
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: no way. I am in no way I am shocked.

261
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: I actually I probably bet money on this and have

262
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: to go collect my winnings. Okay, got it, dear mister President,

263
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: writes James talerricup in June of twenty twenty two. Decades

264
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: of jurisprudence and majorities of Americans have.

265
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: Repeatedly affirmed the constitutional right to an abortion. Oh okay, Yet.

266
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: An anti choice minority has taken advantage of the undemocratic

267
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: loopholes in our political system to impose their radical program

268
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: on our country.

269
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: You mean the Supreme Court made a decision you don't like.

270
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: When the Supreme.

271
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: Court makes a decision that democrats don't like, it's undemocratic

272
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: loopholes and it's a radical program. And the anti choice

273
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: minority has taken advantage.

274
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: Okay, got it.

275
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: The minority is threatening our most basic rights to life, liberty,

276
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. Leaders at all levels must

277
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: use every tool in the toolbox to protect our freedoms.

278
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: We must take extraordinary steps to counter this extraordinary subversion

279
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: of the public. Will Huh this guy really likes his

280
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: mom mentality? He does, but understands that this is a

281
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: guy who's got some weird, weird theories. This is James

282
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Talerico a few years back.

283
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 5: For me, prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon

284
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 5: with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own.

285
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: Certainty, my own ego.

286
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 5: It's a never ending process and it's a painful process.

287
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. What he's there to church? He's speaking to

288
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: people assembled. Oh did you need to hear that again?

289
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: Hold on? Everyone's screaming no, but I know you mean

290
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: yes for me.

291
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 5: Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my

292
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 5: own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own.

293
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: Certainty, my own ego.

294
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 5: It's a never ending process, and it's a painful process.

295
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea what he's saying, and neither do

296
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: you none.

297
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: But when you are.

298
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: A progressive, these are the kinds of ridiculous things that

299
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: you say that brings us back to the letter where

300
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: he wrote to the President, on behalf of my constituents,

301
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: I urge you in your administration to consider taking the

302
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: following executive actions to protect the right to an abortion,

303
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: leasing federal property to abortion clinics on federal lands or

304
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: in federal offices, hiring abortion providers as federal employees to

305
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: provide immunity from state lawsuits. He wanted abortions to be

306
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: performed in government buildings in response to decisions from the

307
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: Supreme Court.

308
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: He's the Democrats candidate percent I'm Tony Katz.

309
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: President Obama is concerned about the vote, ladies and gentlemen.

310
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not concerned enough to pass the Save Act.

311
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: But former President Obama is all in his feelings about

312
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: some things. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be here,

Speaker 1: hit the like button. I'm told there's a like button

317
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: and that we should be like hit the like button.

318
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, like it, don't like it.

319
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep doing it. I have not heard this yet.

320
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: I there are.

321
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes that I'm like, I hear something like, I gotta

322
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: share it with you. And there's sometimes I'm like, I

323
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: want to hear this with you. I want us to

324
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: experience it together.

325
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: Right.

326
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: And you say to me, Tony, why would you play

327
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: Barack Obama on this show?

328
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: Because I believe in the suffering there is love. That's

329
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: a weird thing to say. I don't actually believe that.

330
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: Let's hear what President Obama has to say about voting.

331
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 6: Shall we free and fair elections are the cornerstone of

332
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 6: our democracy.

333
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: That's why you need to pass the Save Act. I'm

334
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: Barack Obama.

335
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: Voter idea is good and people oppose to voter ID

336
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: are stupid. Voter ID. I'm Barack Obama. What. Oh, we

337
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: don't know what he says. Okay, well, he starts with

338
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: something we can at least agree with.

339
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: He starts with the baseline that, indeed, we want free

340
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: and fair.

341
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: Elections right now, they are under threat. What under threat?

342
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: What have the Democrats done this time, Barack Obama.

343
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 6: Over the past year, several Republican controlled states had taken

344
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 6: the unprecedented step of redrawing their congressional maps in the

345
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 6: middle of the decade.

346
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: Oh, this is an older video.

347
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: Oh you want to talk about redistricting, mister president.

348
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I didn't know we were going to talk

349
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: about redistricting.

350
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about redistricting with Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger.

351
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 7: Hello, I'm Governor Abigail's fan, and I'm voting yes on

352
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 7: Virginia's redistricting amendment.

353
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: Oh well, according to Barack Obama, Abigail Spamburger, you are

354
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: a direct threat to the future of the safety of

355
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: elections in the United States and something must be done

356
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: about this.

357
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: You cannot make this stuff up.

358
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: When Republicans do it, it is the worst thing that

359
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: ever happened. When Democrats do it, Why are you looking

360
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: at us? Why are you paying attention. We're just saving America.

361
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: What's wrong? What's the big deal? Why are you paying attention?

362
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: Why are you looking at us? Why are you so

363
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: obsessed with us? All you and your culture wars? You

364
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: just want to date us? Good lord.

365
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: Abigail Spamberger said she had absolutely no intention of engaging redistricting,

366
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: and now she's saying, my gosh, we have to do

367
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: this right away.

368
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 7: Here's why I supported the formation of Virginia's Bipartisan Redistricting

369
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 7: Commission in twenty twenty.

370
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: Has not changed.

371
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 7: What has changed is what we're seeing in states across

372
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 7: the country and a president who says that he's quote

373
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 7: entitled to more Republican seats before this year's midterms. That's

374
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 7: a direct quote entitled, and Virginia has the opportunity to

375
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 7: take action in response.

376
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: Just a note to the people you know I live

377
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: in Indiana if you didn't know, And to the Indiana

378
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: Republicans who did not redistrict, I told you, oh you

379
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: were above it all? Were you? You were gonna really

380
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: do the right thing? Do you not understand who you're

381
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: fighting against? I would appreciate less stupid. I mean, I

382
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: said it, I'll say it directly to you.

383
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: I am a fellow the Mitch Daniels Leadership Foundation.

384
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: I like Mitch Daniels tremendously personally and professionally. And he

385
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: wrote in the Washington Post that Indiana shuld'district and he

386
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: was wrong because he is not willing to engage the

387
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: fights as it.

388
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: Is not the way we want it. The way that's

389
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: it is.

390
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: This is Barack Obama having the audacity to tell you

391
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: that we are under threat because Republicans are redistricting. But

392
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: it's the Democrats who then redistricted. And where's the Where's

393
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: the threat, Barack Obama? Where is the threat?

394
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 6: And they've done it for a simple reason to give

395
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 6: themselves an unfair advantage in the midterms this fall. In April,

396
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 6: Virginians can respond by making sure your voting power is

397
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 6: not diminished by what Republicans are doing in other states.

398
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: This amendment gives you the power to level the playing

399
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 6: field in the midterms this fall, and voters will.

400
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: Have the final say over what the maps look like.

401
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: So I guess it. It wasn't a older video. It

402
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: is a.

403
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: Recent video where Democrats are willing to say out.

404
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: Loud, yeah, it's okay if we do this. It's just

405
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: not okay if they do this.

406
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: Republicans are amongst the dumbest people on the planet because

407
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: they have no concept of how to fight.

408
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: I am very big on this idea.

409
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: The idea of what it means to fight and making

410
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: sure that we apply definition to it, because people think

411
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: that you know that that fighting is something physical.

412
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.

413
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: It's leftists who scream punch a Nazi. Well, who's a nazi?

414
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 1: Will anybody we disagree with as a nazi? Disgusting, vile people.

415
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 1: They're the ones who believe in tearing down cities, setting

416
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: things on fire.

417
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: They're the ones on the attack. That's who they are.

418
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: We have enough video of Antifa to be able to

419
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: show such things. Fighting is about winning, Fighting is about

420
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: policy and philosophy. Fighting is about never accepting a narrative.

421
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: And that's where this starts everything. Abigail Spamberger and Barack

422
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: Obama said, there's a lie. Barack Obama is a liar.

423
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: Republicans redistricted in Texas. I believe it was North Carolina.

424
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: Democrats redistricted in California, and they're trying to in Virginian

425
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: in Maryland, and they're trying to in other states. If

426
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: it's wrong, it's wrong, and we should be clear that

427
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't believe that it's wrong. I have never said

428
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: that it's wrong. Redistioning is a political process that can,

429
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: indeed happen in the middle of a decade. We look

430
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: at redistricting, that is something that happens with the census.

431
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: The census determines population, a representation in Congress which is

432
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: determined by that population, and then new maps are drawn

433
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: based on that. You could argue that Republicans had no

434
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: need to engage redistricting because when you take a look

435
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in twenty thirty with California losing

436
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: seats and other of these left leaning states losing seats,

437
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: things are going to move anyway. And that is true.

438
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: But the President wanted to push redistricting. If I was

439
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: advising him, i'd tell him na. But I didn't get

440
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: to advise him, and Texas did it. I said at

441
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: the time, well, then that's an issue for Texans. If

442
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: Texans don't like it, remember, nothing would change to their

443
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: local representation, their state life representation.

444
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 2: They could vote those people right out.

445
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: But there's nothing illegal about mid decade redistricting. Nothing. Every

446
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: argument's counter is a lie. Do not believe lies. Do

447
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: not buy into lies. Do not buy into that narrative.

448
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: It is legal. It is a political process. Now you

449
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: could argue that you don't like it. Okay, I can

450
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: accept that it is a legal process. Republicans in states

451
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: like mine forgot that they owe a responsibility to the nation.

452
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: Legislatures decide how these things work, and they have a

453
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: larger responsibility to the nation. And I say this in

454
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: the same moment, I say out loud that we should

455
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: repeal the amendment of the direct election of senators and

456
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: those senators should be appointed by the states, because I

457
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: do not appreciate it when legislatures are not allowed to

458
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 1: engage their full powers. Nothing can be more important than

459
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: the representatives of the people, local to the people making

460
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: the decision about representation in Washington that will best represent

461
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: them and not represent a political part. Republicans forgot that

462
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: they were in a fight. They thought they were engaged

463
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: in a concept of civility.

464
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: There is a massive.

465
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: Problem with the definition of civility because some people think

466
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: civility is please and thank you and all that jazz.

467
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: Civility is not please and thank you and all that jazz.

468
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 1: That's not what civility is. Civility is the majority, not

469
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: tyrannizing the minority. Civility is the minority.

470
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: Not acting.

471
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: In an undemocratic way to try and destroy the majority.

472
00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I sat there, I

473
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: lived in California after Barack Obama was elected.

474
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 2: I'm sitting like kitchen table. It's late. My brother's there,

475
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: my wife is there. I'm eating a bagel. I don't

476
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: know why it was a bagel, it was, and.

477
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: Could not believe it, could not believe how horrifying it

478
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: was that America voted for a guy that progressive, nay communist.

479
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: We knew the story, but they did, but they did.

480
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: What did I do? Tried to get Mitt Romney elected.

481
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: Turned out Mitt Romney didn't actually want to get elected

482
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: because he beat Barack Obama in the first debate, and

483
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: then he decided, now I'm good.

484
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: That's what happened.

485
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: You could say anything you want about Romney right now

486
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: post Trump. But then he had it and he allowed

487
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: Candy Crowley to decide how to talk for him in

488
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: a debate. He won that first debate. He then just

489
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: got himself knocked around exactly like a Mitt Romney gets

490
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: knocked around, and the rest is history. Republicans have a

491
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: long history of not fighting because they think that it's

492
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: about civility. Civility does not mean the absence of fighting.

493
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: And the first thing you do in a fight is

494
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: you never accept their narrative.

495
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: They lie.

496
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: Free and fair elections, says Barack Obama when Democrats do it,

497
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: but not when Republicans do it.

498
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: What a fraud. And there was a.

499
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Story regarding Indiana that somehow a gentleman's deal was made

500
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: with Maryland.

501
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: You don't redistrict. We don't redistrict. What is Maryland trying

502
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: to do? Redistrict? You believe them.

503
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: They hate you, They want to destroy you. You understand

504
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: that the left, they get power, really does want to

505
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: put the political right their words, not mine. In in

506
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: re education camps, they absolutely believe this stuff. They believe

507
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: that they are pious and we need to be destroyed.

508
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: We need to be reprogrammed. Dude, I'm free and good,

509
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: and so are you. We agree, we disagree, We drink

510
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: a little bourbon.

511
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: Life's all right.

512
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: My politics are based on what I think it takes

513
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: to best to have a free country.

514
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: Their politics are their religion.

515
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: So you understand that we're dealing with a cult and

516
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,239
Speaker 1: you have to fight it in that way, and you

517
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: can never give in to their narrative. You want to

518
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: redistrict Republicans, it's pure evil. They want to do it. Well,

519
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: then it's quite all right. And why do you care?

520
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: Why are you paying attention? That is what Barack Obama

521
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: and Governor Abigail Spaanberg are selling right now.

522
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

523
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz. Today oil

524
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: price is making them move upward today. Yeah, gas prices

525
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: are going to go up more than I anticipated. Tony

526
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: Kats Tony Katz. Today West Texas crewed cracked ninety at

527
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: one moment, hitting ninety one eighty five a barrel Brench crude,

528
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: which is the oceans coming out of the oceans, over

529
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: ninety three dollars a barrel. That is rough, That is

530
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: rough stuff. This because you have a closure in the

531
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: Straits of Hormuz, and once you get the straight open,

532
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: this will start dropping. This has got to be a

533
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: key key focus of the United States. You absolutely knew

534
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: that this could happen. This is not surprising at all.

535
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: Surprising that is that a petition to require a voter

536
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: ID that says only US citizens can vote has gotten

537
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: more than eight hundred and seventy five thousand signatures, which

538
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: was the threshold.

539
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: It has one point three million signatures.

540
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: And this is California, California Voter IDEA initiative one point

541
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: three million signatures across every county fifty eight counties in California,

542
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: which means.

543
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: On the ballot it goes because this is how.

544
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: California works, unless Gavin Newsom is going to try and

545
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: pull it fast. Want to say, now, we're not going

546
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: to allow that. So why would we ever have anybody

547
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: opposed to voter ID somebody else? Republicans have to start

548
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: talking about Democrats want fraud. Democrats are trying for fraud.

549
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: They are fine with fraud. Everyone in America wants voter

550
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: ID except for Progressives. They're desperate for fraud. Look at

551
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: these fraudsters who want to steal your vote from you

552
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: with having people here I legally vote, disgusting, despicable.

553
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: Don't vote for them. Get out and vote and don't

554
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: vote for them, and make your voice heard.

555
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: If we get enough decent people, we can beat the fraudsters.

556
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: And then pass the legislation necessary to ensure our safe

557
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: vote in America. Democrats can complain all they want. Keep

558
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: at it, don't stop, don't rest, don't quit. I mean

559
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: one point three million people in California. How much proof

560
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: do you need. I'm Tony Katz, this is Tony Cats

561
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: to that
