They can be just as violent, 23 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: just as evil, just as hateful, and just as dangerous. 24 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: If a doctor believes in gender affirming care. That doctor 25 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: is an abuser and should not be allowed to practice medicine. 26 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: Any hospital that's willing to do top surgery or engage 27 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: in these practices is a hospital that it favors the 28 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: mutilation of children, and they should not only get no dollars, 29 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: they should be shut down. We are a society that 30 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: must demand that children are protected, more often than not 31 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: from themselves, but without question, protected from brutal, disgusting, despicable 32 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: adults who claim that they're there to help. No one 33 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: in favor of gender or firming care can ever help. 34 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: All they can do is create a disaster, engage in mutilation, 35 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: engage and engage in abuse, and leave a child absolutely destroyed. 36 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: The line I wish I never brainwashed myself came from 37 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: this guy who murdered two children, injured seventeen in Minneapolis, 38 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: who shot up this church. 39 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: This school and church. It's a man now. 40 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: I don't really care what it is that Jake Tapper 41 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: wants to say. I don't give a good holy damn 42 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: about Jake Tapper. By the way, there is no kindness 43 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: coming from me today. So maybe a little rougher than 44 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: you normally get from me, Jake Tapper can go to 45 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: hell because when you're talking about a murderer, when you 46 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: are speaking so clearly about a murderer, you do not 47 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: concern yourself with whether or not you've got the right 48 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: pronoun being used. 49 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: But not CNN, Oh no, not CNN at all. 50 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: The apples, Starterbune just as another piece of the puzzle 51 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: as to who the shooter was in Minneapoli. Starterbune says, 52 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: according to court records, because there's been some confusion about 53 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: what the shooter's name was, Yes, Robin Westman's mother applied 54 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 3: to change your child's name in twenty nineteen. It was 55 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: at one point Robert Paul Westman. Correct, But since she 56 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: identifies as a female and wants your name to reflect 57 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: that identification was underage, it's now Robin Westman. 58 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: That is CNN buying into mental illness. Who cares if 59 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: he thought he was a girl. He was never a girl. 60 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: He will never be a girl. No man will ever 61 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: be a woman, No woman will ever be a man. 62 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: Don't tell me that I'm not being kind. It is 63 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: not kind to brainwash, not kind to abuse, not kind 64 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: to mutilate children. We're right and they're wrong, and for 65 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: those people on the side of the wrong, Screw you, 66 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: you're the enemy. We're through the looking glass. We're done 67 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: talking about it in any level of half measure, to 68 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: which I don't believe I've ever spoken about it in 69 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: any level of half measure. You're wrong, and Jake Tapper saying, well, 70 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: we got to be aware of the pronouns. 71 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 2: No, we don't. 72 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: That's mental illness, and that is feeding into the mental illness, 73 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: which is exactly the thing you cannot do, exactly what 74 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: was done to this boy, now man now dead after 75 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: murdering too. 76 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 2: Writing a manifesto. 77 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: I hate the choos, I hate this one, I hate 78 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: that one, I hate the other one. 79 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: A lot of hate, a lot. 80 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: Of anger, nowhere to go with it, and a family 81 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: structure in others who said, well, if this will make 82 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: you feel better, go ahead, change allegedly who you are. 83 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: That'll make sense. No part of it makes sense. It 84 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: is an obscenity, and yet still we see people like 85 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: The New York Times on social media, writes The New 86 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: York Times. Some conservative act activists have seized on the 87 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: shooter's gender identity to broadly portray transgender people's violent or 88 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: mentally ill The police did not provide any motive for 89 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: the attack, but they write the name miss intensive. Social 90 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: media history was a contradictory catalog of anger and grievance. 91 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: Of course, there was a motive mental illness that manifested 92 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: in this transgenderism, because people bought into the mental illness 93 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: and supported the mental illness. 94 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: As opposed to getting this young man help. That's what happened. 95 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: You bet your bottom dollar we're going to talk about 96 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: gender identity and the issues there of abusing and manipulating 97 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: and hurting children, because that's what's happened here. The New 98 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: York Times doesn't want to admit it. Screw the New 99 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: York Times. They're not the paper of record anyway. This 100 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: is their headline. Minneapolis suspect knew her target, her her target. 101 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: They're still doing this. Minneapolis suspect knew her target. But 102 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: motive is a mystery. Motive is not a mystery. How 103 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: is the motive a mystery? Mentally ill person does mentally 104 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: ill thing. Mentally ill person was told, if you just 105 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: do this to yourself, everything will be fine because you're 106 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: really this and we're gonna buy into your mental illness. 107 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: And it didn't make everything good. They weren't happy, They 108 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: couldn't find their way to happiness. Everything was about anger, 109 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: Everything was about vitriol, Everything was about destruction. Every last thing, 110 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: a rifle, a shotgun, a handgun, all utilized in this attack, 111 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: looking up other shooters, and still saying, as The New 112 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: York Times is, we're not sure the motive. We all 113 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: know the motive because we don't lie to ourselves like 114 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper lies to you. 115 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: So let's start where we need to start. Start where 116 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: we need to start. 117 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: We have a society of progressives that thinks it's okay 118 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: to abuse children and use the terminology of gender affirming care. 119 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: What they have claimed is that if you do not 120 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: allow a child to do this, they will kill themselves. 121 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: If you follow this show at all, you know that 122 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: that is a lie. It has always been a lie. 123 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: The want to harm oneself comes from within. It does 124 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: not get fixed from the outside. It gets fixed from 125 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: the inside. I speak as somebody who battled the depression. 126 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: I speak as. 127 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: Somebody who went through the suicidal thoughts. You can dial 128 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: nine eight eight. I believe that's now the suicide prevention hotline. 129 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: I never made that call. If you need to go ahead. 130 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: Do it? 131 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: Make them stop listening to me and go make that call. 132 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: It gets better. I'm right here. Yours might get better 133 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: than mine. You might not get as good as mine. 134 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: My experience is that it gets better. Being suicidal is awful, 135 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: horrible and horrific. And days upon days and weeks upon weeks. 136 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: How could I do this and not have my wife 137 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: come in and find me? What is the note that 138 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: I leave? 139 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 2: What is the barrier? Oh? That happened, that happened for 140 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: a long time, got better. 141 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: That didn't happen from some external force or some change 142 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: in my makeup externally. It happened from within. What is 143 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: wrong with me? 144 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: What am I? 145 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: What is it that I'm experiencing? And how do I 146 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: find a better way to channel that thing? Not to 147 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: make it disappear? I don't know if it ever disappears, 148 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: but a better way to channel it, work with it, 149 00:09:52,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: engage with it. That can happen. That's number one. But 150 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: when you lie and say this magical lecture will take 151 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: care of you, gender affirming care is nothing more than 152 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: snake oil. And the snake oil salesman just wants to 153 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: sell you snake oil. And the adult who wants to 154 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: abuse children, gets off on abusing children, and we don't 155 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: have any place for them in our society. And it's 156 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: us or them, and I choose us, and they can 157 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: run for cover. Whether they're doctors or teachers or anything else, 158 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: they call themselves professionals, they're abusers. We should call them abusers. 159 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: And I should be also clear that there are parents 160 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: who are dealing with this, this social contagent, because that's 161 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: all it is. If you think there are this many 162 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: transgender people people gender dyspory in America, you're kidding yourself. 163 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: It is a statistical anomaly. It is all insanity. It 164 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: is social contagent, and we all know it. 165 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: We all know it. 166 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: So let's start saying so out loud with a lot 167 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: of force behind our voice. But there are parents going 168 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: through this and trying to figure out how they keep 169 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: hold of their kids. 170 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 2: That's real. 171 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: I feel for them in a way I cannot properly describe. 172 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: But parents who allow their kids to do this and 173 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: support their kids doing this, it is abuse. And we 174 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't let a parent punch a kid in the face 175 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: and let that kid stay with that parent. What exactly 176 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: do we think we're doing? Oh, because a doctor said 177 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: so doctors who support gender affirming care are abusive doctors 178 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: who should not be allowed to practice medicine in the 179 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: United States. Zero practice cannot get mentally healthy from the external. 180 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: It must come from inside. And we must deal with 181 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: mental illness with rect cognition, not with platitudes. It must 182 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: be dealt with with honesty, not with snake oil. This murderer, 183 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: whose name I don't use, I don't give credit to 184 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: these things. 185 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 2: This murderer wrote, I can't cut my hair now. 186 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: I only keep the long hair because it is pretty 187 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: much my last shred of being trans. 188 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: I am tired of being trans. 189 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: I wish I never brainwashed myself, continuing, I can't cut 190 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: my hair now, as it would be an embarrassing defeat 191 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: and it might be a concerning change of character. 192 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: That could get me reported. It just always gets in 193 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: my way. 194 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: I will probably chop it on the day of the attack, 195 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: this planned attack. 196 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: Now. 197 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: He later wrote that I regret this, and I wish 198 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 1: I was a girl. So again, the mental illness at play, 199 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: which does not go away if we are not honest 200 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: with ourselves and our society, and what we are allowing 201 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: to happen at the hands of progressives. Well then, well 202 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: then we're going to be destroyed. We're going to lose 203 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: society from the inside out. 204 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: That's what's going to happen. We're going to lose a 205 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 2: society from the inside out. 206 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: If we are unwilling to protect children, we have no shot, 207 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: and to do so, we must look at those people 208 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: like Jake Tapper, like the crying Jansaki, she actually cried, 209 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: like the embarrassment of a mayor, Jacob Fray, and like 210 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: the twisted lieutenant governor of Minnesota wearing a T shirt 211 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: that says protech trans kids that has a knife on it, 212 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: like she's somehow tough. 213 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 4: Because let's be clear, this is life affirming and life 214 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 4: saving healthcare. 215 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: When our children tell us who they. 216 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: Are, it is our job as grown ups to listen 217 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 4: and to believe them. 218 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: You are a disgusting, terrible person, You are wrong, You 219 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: are engaged in an act of true violence against children. 220 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: You are engaged in hatred of children. No, it is 221 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: not the job of the parents to listen and believe them. 222 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: It is to be honest with them and tell them, No, 223 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: you're not a. 224 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: Girl, You're a boy. You're not a boy, you're a girl. 225 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: It is to always be the touchstone of honesty that 226 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: allows them to have an understanding of what's happening in 227 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: the world around them. 228 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: It is not life saving care. 229 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: It destroys the mind and the soul and society. 230 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: You are wrong, It is. 231 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Despicable, It is reprehensible what it is that you are 232 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: saying and you are offering. You are wrong, Lieutenant Governor, 233 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: and you have to lose. This is a fight for 234 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: the soul of America. This is the fight for the 235 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: soul period. This is whether or not we survive this 236 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: right here, and you have to lose. Let's make sure 237 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: at the ballot box that happens. No harm should come 238 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: to the Lieutenant governor. No harm should come to those 239 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: people who believe ridiculous things. 240 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: But we should be changing rules and laws today. 241 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: Amazingly. We have to do this to protect children. For 242 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: those people who want to engage in mutilating children, there 243 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: should be jail time. We should not shy away from this, 244 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: and we should be supportive of those kids who have 245 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: been down this road and realize I've made a mistake. 246 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: No shunning, no shaming, no embarrassment. It's okay. Let's get 247 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: you what you need to help get you back on 248 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: a path to an enjoyable life to the best of 249 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: your ability. The people who support gender are firming care 250 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: of monsters. We should say so. The people who are 251 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: politicos and support it should lose elections. It is our 252 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: job to protect children, more often than not from themselves, 253 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: but certainly from the predator adults, whether they be inn 254 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: academia or in medicine. Let's start doing that. I'm Tony Katz. 255 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today. A quick story worry about 256 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: Iowa and the reminder that when you say, my gosh, 257 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: look at what's happening with the registrations and look how 258 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: Democrats are losing, well, there is certainly a reason for that. 259 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: How can you be around people who can't even accept 260 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: the idea that fighting crime is a good idea. They 261 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: won't accept it. They don't accept fighting crime is worthwhile. 262 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be with you. 263 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: They have to be anti Trump all the time. 264 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 2: It's no way to live, it really isn't. 265 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: It's just it's got to be horrifying every day to 266 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: wake up with that feeling. 267 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: But there was a election, a special election that took 268 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 2: place in Iowa. 269 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 5: It was a state race, and in this state of 270 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 5: state Senate, in this state senate race, the Democrat won 271 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 5: by nine points. And you say, okay, Democrat won by 272 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 5: nine points. This is Iowa that Trump took by eleven. 273 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: That means this person had a swing of twenty points. 274 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: Twenty points twenty. Trump is still popular, but not Republicans. 275 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: Republicans have still a branding issue. They still have a 276 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: marketing issue. They still have not done things of their 277 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: own accord to give people reason to say we're voting 278 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: for Republicans. 279 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 2: Right now, it's still Trump. 280 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: The registration switch is because the Democrats are crazy, But 281 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: now you're going to get those people out to the polls, 282 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: and that comes from action, not action comes from states 283 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: as well. And because this seat flipped, Republicans no longer 284 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: have the supermajority in Iowa. Now it's not all bad, 285 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: because when you lose a super majority, maybe you'll actually 286 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: work harder. Maybe you'll work harder. It's not a bad thing. 287 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a valuable thing. Maybe we'll get something better 288 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: because of it. But don't confused Trump's popularity with Republican popularity, 289 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: and don't think we're gonna walk into twenty twenty six, 290 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a cake walk. Work hard, campaign 291 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: hard visits Tony Cops today. So I had somebody in 292 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: the chat room ask me, can you explain grocery prices? 293 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, I can explain grocery prices. 294 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: I can explain grocery prices in terms of the cost 295 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: of everything is up, So therefore groceries are up. If 296 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: it costs more to feed the cattle or to provide 297 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: for the agriculture, the fruits and the vegetables, it's gonna 298 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: call more. 299 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 2: The labor costs more. Then you have anything terrorf. 300 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: Related that could be utilized in the raising of livestock 301 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: or the growing of food. And then, most importantly, inflation 302 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: is still here. It's still here. Tony Kats, Tony Kats today. 303 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: Good to be with you. Honestly, guys, this is this 304 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: is fun. You know what I'm thinking about doing this 305 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: for a living. I don't know about you, but I 306 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: think I'm onto something. I found a job where I 307 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: can talk and smoke cigars at the same time. 308 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 2: No, just me, just me. 309 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: Also, I believe I have a whole new I think 310 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: I have a whole new soundboard. 311 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: I don't know. 312 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: I don't know where I gotta I gotta find it, 313 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: but supposedly allegedly coorin to sources. I have a whole 314 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: new soundboard. I'll get to that. So the inflation is 315 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: still there. And yes, I should be clear when we 316 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: talk about grocery prices that there are those who raise 317 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: their prices in the world of COVID and it hasn't 318 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: come back down. They're trying to create any normal. I 319 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 1: believe that can be dealt with through speaking out openly 320 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: against it. One of the places this is happening, I 321 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: know it's gonna sound very, very weird, is Vegas and 322 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: the whole resort fee nonsense. The resort fee is insane. 323 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: What do you mean I spend an extra forty dollars 324 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: a night and you don't even have a pool. What 325 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: is this craziness? It's garbage. It's theft. We don't tell 326 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: you the room is this, and then we charge you 327 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: this thing. 328 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 2: It's garbage. People don't want it. 329 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: Also, there's a real pushback in Vegas to the price 330 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: of everything.

And so I'm a big fan of cigars and 340 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 2: really the. 341 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: The art of cigars and and the and the and 342 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: the theory behind it, right, the whole philosophy of the 343 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: smoke and the concept. 344 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: Because a weird thing that people do and I do, 345 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 2: but there's a reason for it, and there's a there's 346 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 2: a whole thing about it. 347 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 6: Uh. 348 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: So there's this this this conference, uh where you have 349 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: all the cigar manufacturers and all the cigar retailers and 350 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: it's nothing but like like a two square miles of 351 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: people smoking cigars and saying figuring out what they want 352 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: for their shop. 353 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: It is. It is cigar porn. It's fantastic. It is. 354 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: It is an amazing, amazing thing, uh to to to experience. 355 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: I had brought this up for a reason because I 356 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: was talking about I was talking about prices, the the 357 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: the the price of cigars. It's really the direction I wanted. 358 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to go in. The price of cigars has 359 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: been going up. The price cigars is going up because 360 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: tariffs have gone up, because the box cost has gone up, 361 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: all all these kinds of things. 362 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 2: I'll get back to my original point later. 363 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: They've gone up because of all the all these things, 364 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: and certainly there they're taxes in places, and so this 365 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: is still an agricultural product in the same way one 366 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: can think. 367 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: About the groceries. 368 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: There's an effect from all the other things that's that's 369 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: taking place, and yet still with higher prices. The GDP 370 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: last quarter is three percent, and now we learn that 371 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: it's actually been revised upward. 372 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 6: For joining US now c NBC's senior Markets correspondent Dominic 373 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 6: two NBC News Senior Business correspondent Christine Romans, and also 374 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 6: with US the US had of Internet, National Wealth and 375 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 6: Private Banking for HSBC Raquel Odin firstm. 376 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: My god, they needed a lot of people to tell you, Yeah, 377 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: the GDP was pretty good. The GDP was pretty good. 378 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 1: By the way, I'll get to the conversation about Vegas 379 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: in just a minute. I haven't forgotten what I was 380 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: talking about I just I wanted to move forward. So 381 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: here comes the question finally from MSNBC Mika Brazinski. 382 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 6: There, tell us just the headlines on this morning's data, 383 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 6: what does it mean? 384 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: Sure, Mika, Joe. 385 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 7: So the two twenty nine thousand that you mentioned is 386 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 7: five thousand less than the prior week. So the number 387 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 7: of people filing those first time unemployment benefit claims to 388 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 7: twenty nine thousand. 389 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: That was slightly better. 390 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 7: By the way, than the consensus estimate from economists, which 391 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 7: was about two hundred and thirty thousand. Meanwhile, you've also 392 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 7: got a drop in the number of Americans filing for 393 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 7: continued unemployment benefits, that's so called uing claims. Number dropped 394 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 7: by roughly seven thousand to a seasonally adjusted one point 395 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 7: ninety five to four million people. Now, what it says, 396 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 7: on balance about the economy is that the momentum is 397 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 7: slowing down some. Not that there's a massive boom in 398 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 7: jobs nor a massive crash in jobs, but that the 399 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 7: employment market is starting to get a little bit more 400 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 7: static on a relative basis. 401 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,959 Speaker 1: That's actually some really interesting good news because if we're like, okay, 402 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: we're now moving on a regular clip, you don't have 403 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: wild gesticulations. 404 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 2: It's hot, it's cool. It's hot. It's cool. 405 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: Now you can do some planning and the Federal Reserve 406 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: maybe could make some moves. 407 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 7: Now that echoes some of the data and anecdotal stories 408 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 7: that Americans have in the current economy, where employees are 409 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 7: just not losing their jobs in droves, but at the 410 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 7: same time, it's not the great resignation when they're actively 411 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 7: quitting their jobs to get better ones, perhaps with higher pay. Meanwhile, 412 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 7: there is not a surge in corporations also laying people off. 413 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 7: At the same time, they aren't exactly out there hiring 414 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 7: in droves as well. 415 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 2: They've already done the layoffs. They've already done. See now 416 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: this is an interesting one. 417 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: They've already done the layoffs, and that point is accurate. 418 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: They are not doing the rehiring. They're actually quietly laying 419 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: people off, and it needs to be looked at. It's 420 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, I talk about this economy not being great, 421 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: because it's not. The prices are still too high. Now 422 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: bring it back to the Vegas conversation. So I go 423 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: to this cigar conference every year. This past year it 424 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: got moved. It wasn't in Vegas. It was in No Orleans. 425 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't go. People were thrilled it was in New Orleans. 426 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: Why because you can actually afford to go out to dinner. 427 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: Because Vegas has so inflated its prices, it's become impossible. 428 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: So to this conversation about groceries and grocery prices being 429 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: high and things being inflated. 430 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 2: Until people start saying, this price isn't real. 431 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: It's like that woman on the plane, these mother blank 432 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: and prices are not real. Until people start doing that 433 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: in droves about specific things. 434 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 2: That people the company is not going to take note. 435 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: Vegas is starting to take note, and people are saying, 436 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: why in the world are we having a conference in Vegas. 437 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: Why in the world are we having in cevent in Vegas. 438 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: It costs too much dealing with the unions in Vegas 439 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: at the hotels. 440 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: If you have to set up dealing with the price. 441 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: Of hotels and these nonsense resort fees, dealing with the 442 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: price of a meal, it's not worth it. That has 443 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: to happen on groceries, that has to happen on other things. 444 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: Back to this story. 445 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 7: For the most part, people with jobs are just staying 446 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 7: put where they are now. 447 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 2: The other piece of data. 448 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 7: That we have is that the US economic picture is 449 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 7: getting a little bit better. Gross domestic product for the 450 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 7: second quarter was revised higher to a gain of three 451 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 7: point three percent. 452 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: All right, I'm out, I'm out. 453 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: Three point doctor will if you're listening, you have to 454 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: call in right now. Three point three. That number is 455 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: that number is so good, that number is so strong. 456 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: It's not It makes no sense because this should be 457 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: a quarter where tariffs are applied, and that means that 458 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: people still engaged with the tariffs. We know that the 459 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: retail spend was up, and it counters my argument of 460 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: this economy isn't great. If it's not great, why is 461 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: the GDP up? Why is the retail spend up? Come on, cats, 462 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: Stop being so negative. I'm not negative. The numbers tell 463 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: me a story, and then you throw these numbers at me, 464 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: and that's why I drink bourbon. 465 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: Does not make sense, it's nuts. 466 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:10,959 Speaker 1: But so we're clear, three point three, three point three 467 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: bigger than life, Bigger than life. It's an incredible, incredible, 468 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: incredible number. And I think that that the that the 469 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: take from from Midwest Main Street is certainly different than 470 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: the take on Wall Street if I were to discuss 471 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: anecdotally what I am seeing, what I'm experiencing, what people 472 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: are telling me, because people do. 473 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: Do tell me things. 474 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: If if I listen to them, food's up, gasoline is up, 475 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: their insurance is up, labor costs her up. 476 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 2: Everything, everything. 477 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: Is up, everything, And I'm not sure how people are 478 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: so easily getting around. 479 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 2: That or getting past that. 480 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: I find that to be very counter in the anecdotal 481 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: to what it is that we're hearing here, because those 482 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: numbers shared on MSNBC, they're incredible. By the way, Sam 483 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: is leaving me a comment talking about the farmers at 484 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,239 Speaker 1: the farm level has nothing to do with prices at 485 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: the grocery store. The processor determines prices. I hear you. 486 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: I hear you. I think that's a fine comment to 487 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: leave me in worthy of questions. I've given you my 488 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: take on my groceries are higher, and parts of that 489 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: I think are certainly accurate. 490 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 2: Parts of it. 491 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: Certainly someone can say, actually, Tony, it's this, that or 492 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: the other. Let's dig in and find out. I'm happy 493 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: to do it. Who should I talk to about it? 494 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: You tell me, I'm in, I'll bring it to you. 495 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: Keep it here, I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today. 496 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: Every time ESPN fires somebody, I wonder, what are we 497 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: gonna learn politically, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, what did 498 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: they not like about this person? And so one of 499 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: the things that happened is that over at ESPN their 500 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: NBA analysts, Doris Burke has been removed from the NBA 501 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: Finals team, and that bringing up Tim Legler. Now, I 502 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: think Legler's good. He's been with the network since the 503 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: year two thousand. But they're moving Burke down. Someone is 504 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: going to scream sexism. Let them. It is imperative that 505 00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: we make the statements that just as you should be 506 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: able to say a woman can do this, somebody who's 507 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: black can do this, somebody's hispanic can do this, somebody 508 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: who's agent who can do this, just as you should 509 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: say that and recognize that and understand that without having 510 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: any legislation forcing you into hiring. Sometimes you want somebody else. 511 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes it turns out they can't do it well. Sometimes, 512 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: like all people, they get fired. 513 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 2: If you tell me that they can't be fired. 514 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: Because they are a woman, they are black, they are gay, 515 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: they are this there that there are the other they're 516 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: your mother. Well, then we have a problem because that's 517 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: not the way the world works. 518 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 2: That is beyond nonsensical. 519 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: But I'm just curious because it's ESPN, and because everything 520 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: they do is so outrageously political. What what are we 521 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: going to find out about Doris Burke's politics. 522 00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 2: It's not Gonnam asking about her. 523 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: Paul I never would have thought to even bring her 524 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: up on the show, But you get rid of sage 525 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: steal and you know why. You've seen this with people 526 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: like Kurt Schilling and others. You know why. 527 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 2: So I'm curious if that's going to be the case. 528 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: And an interesting story about Stilantis specifically Chrysler, because Silantis, 529 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: as an auto manufacturer has. 530 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 2: Just been getting punched in the face. 531 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: They did this to themselves really really bad work, shoddy work, 532 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: bad leadership. Was a Carlos Tavars and dealerships are like, 533 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: we're doing terrible. You're not building a good product. Why 534 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: aren't you marketing better? And he was like, hey, I'm 535 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: the CEO. You just sit back and let me do 536 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: my work. Well, they pushed him out, and they've been 537 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how they get back to some 538 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: level of square there is a rumor that they're bringing 539 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: back the Chrysler three hundred. 540 00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: And when you take a look at the styling of this, ummmm, it. 541 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: Looks like a linking Continental and one of the new 542 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: ones meets a Tesla's That's how I describe it. It 543 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: ain't bad now. I don't know where the sedan is 544 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: in people's minds anymore. I think so many people have 545 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: moved to the suv of some kind. 546 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 2: But it looks good. 547 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: If this is it, it looks good, but it won't 548 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: come back till twenty twenty nine. But you really they 549 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: realize their mistake, like, for example, this idea of being 550 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: more electric. They're now saying, no, no, no, we're into 551 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: gas powered engines. We're bringing back the HEMI, the five 552 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: point seven liter V eight doing those kinds of things, yes, 553 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: which you need to. By the way, there's also a 554 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty five horsepower hemy six point four liter. 555 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 2: I think four eighty five is a nice bit of horsepower. 556 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: I don't know about you. I don't know what it 557 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 2: is you want. I'm I'm good with that. That would 558 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 2: be enough for me. 559 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: So I like to see this, and remember this is 560 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: tilant to say it's not really, you know, an American car, 561 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: but Chrysler is an American brand. 562 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 2: I only hope that this. 563 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: Is what continues, this recognition that if you want to 564 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: go electric, go right ahead. You can't force people into electric. 565 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: That whole methodology failed. And if Elon Musk is evil, 566 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: and I've got Democrats trading in their Teslas for Chevy tahos, 567 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: let's never revert back, please, White House Press breathing up. Next, 568 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz
