1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Line from Vaal Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz. Today California has been blocked from enforcing

3
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: their mask ban on ICE agents. You've seen President Trump

4
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: win on the idea of detaining illegal immigrants. There have

5
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: been a lot of wins for the President, a lot

6
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: of losses for over aggressive, over zealous, and I will

7
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 2: argue anti American progressive forces.

8
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: Not enough talking about that, not enough mentions of dear Lord.

9
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: These lower courts filled with activist judges to engage.

10
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: And engage in all sorts of nonsense.

11
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: But when you get to I don't know, actual adults,

12
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: people who aren't activists, they're actually able to apply the

13
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: law and say, well, the president, of course has this

14
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: right when it comes to masks in California. These are

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: federal officials, and there's a supremacy clause. State law doesn't

16
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: get to affect that. I'm a federalist. I'm a believer

17
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: in states rights. But sorry, you don't get everything you

18
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: want in this society. And if you think the stage

19
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: should be able to override the federal government, well.

20
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: What kind of society do these people want?

21
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: Anyway? Tony Katz, Tony Kats today. Good to be here,

22

Speaker 2: is there on the sheet. Check it out for yourself.

27
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: you choose a lot of wins, a lot of wins

28
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: for the president. This is very very good stuff. But

29
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 2: there is probably no win bigger right now then the win.

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Regarding the Epstein files, from the beginning this show, I

31
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: am on record the Epstein file should be released in full.

32
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: Do I accept redactions? I do accept redactions. There are

33
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: people who were abused and abused terrifically. There are people

34
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: who are in the files who did nothing wrong, and

35
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: I don't want their lives destroyed. And so I did

36
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: disagree with the legislation that was passed, that was pushed

37
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: through by circumventing regular order with something called the discharge

38
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: petition that brought this to the floor for a vote.

39
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: I favor the release. I just favored a little bit

40
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: of care. People like Marjorie Taylor Green did not care.

41
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: Someone who I'm thrilled has retired, and let's never think

42
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: that Marjorie Taylor Green is some kind of great American

43
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: engage in some great American talk. Now that is a

44
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: jilted lover, ladies and gentlemen. We can get into that

45
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: another time, but now we are releasing data. I have

46
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: argued from the beginning that when President Trump said, why

47
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: are we paying attention to the Epstein file, said he

48
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: was wrong. It was a mistake, a rare one, not

49
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: understanding where the people were, and it was a mistake.

50
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: And then of course, some people, being the acolytes that

51
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: they are and doing whatever it is that they're told, said, well,

52
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: President Trump doesn't want us to talk about this, let's

53
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: not talk about it. And they were wrong. Happily said

54
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: they were wrong. Slings and arrows didn't matter. They were wrong.

55
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: It does matter to the American people. It should matter.

56
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: People were involved with abusing children. We need to find

57
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: them and we need to arrest them. But nothing has

58
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: been more disgusting than watching the political left take this

59
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: story and say, how can we use this politically? I

60
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: put forward to you that the vast majority of progressives

61
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: don't give a good holy damn about children. It's only

62
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: how can they destroy Trump? Beginning to end. How can

63
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: they destroy Donald Trump? And how can they destroy the

64
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: political right? How can they obtain victory? How can they

65
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: obtain power and then never give it up again? That

66
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: was it and they don't care what happened to the kids.

67
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: I absolutely believe that to be the case. If I

68
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: thought that the political left in the main believed about kids,

69
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: they never would have been okay with excused or protected

70
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: gender affirming care, never once, never ever, never once never,

71
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: So why would I believe that all of a sudden

72
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 2: they care about children? Regarding the EPSTEM files, they don't

73
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: they care about Can we destroy Donald Trump?

74
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: Can we can.

75
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: We get all the power and prevent the opposition people

76
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: who disagree with us from ever having a say. This

77
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: brings us to the story that was over there at

78
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: ABC News and it got tweeted out at the first.

79
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: It was a very very simple tweet, and it reads

80
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: a former police chief who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in the

81
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: mid two thousands told the FBI he had received a

82
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: call from Donald Trump at the time to say, thank goodness,

83
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: you're stopping him. Everyone has known, everyone has known he's

84
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: been doing this, according to an FBI account.

85
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: That story.

86
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: Then it becomes your headline on ABC News. Ex police

87
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: chief says Trump told him, thank goodness, you're stopping Epstein.

88
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: In the two thousands, the story continues that everybody knows

89
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: that Trump threw Epstein out of Marrow Lago.

90
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: This because he was poaching employees from the SPA.

91
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: Maybe it was more than that.

92
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: The police chief's name is.

93
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: Michael Ryder, and what he states is as Writer's detectives

94
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: were investigating Epstein for allegedly recruiting girls as young as

95
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: fourteen to provide massages that turn sexual. There's never a

96
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: moment where Epstein shouldn't have been charged, shouldn't be in jail,

97
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: that Julane Maxwell shouldn't be in jail. Never once. Everybody

98
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: connected to this needs to go to jail. But according

99
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: to Writer's testimony in October twenty nineteen, this is two

100
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: months after Epstein's death, Donald Trump told Writer that he

101
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: threw Epstein out of his club. Trump called the Palm

102
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: Each police department to tell him, thank goodness, you're stopping him.

103
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: Everyone has known he's been doing this. That's in the

104
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: FBI report. Then there is the story of a call

105
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: that came in July of two thousand and six, Trump

106
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: told him people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting.

107
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: Trump said Maxwell was Epstein's operative quote, she is evil

108
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: and to focus on her unquote. Trump told this cop

109
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: writer that he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present,

110
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: and Trump quote got the hell out of there unquote.

111
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: Trump was one of the very first people to call

112
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: when people found out that they were investigating Epstein. The

113
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: left does not care what the truth is. They care

114
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: that they can destroy the president. And when it's not Trump,

115
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: it will be the next person. Which is an extremely

116
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: important thing to note, is not we want to argue

117
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: that it's about Trump. It's because Trump is the president.

118
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: If Trump wasn't the president, and if it was another Republican,

119
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: it would be about that person. It wouldn't be the

120
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: Epstein files, it would be something else. It is never ending,

121
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: and it is unyielding. This is the system and the methodology.

122
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: Data point after data points after data point shows that

123
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: Trump knew Jeffrey Epstein, that Trump figured out what Jeffrey

124
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: Epstein was all about, and Trump wanted nothing to do

125
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: with Jeffrey Epstein. All three of those things he knew him.

126
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: They were at events together, they were probably at parties together.

127
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: There's video of this, there's a photo of that. And

128
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: when Trump learned what he was about. When Trump learned

129
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: what he was about, Trump walked, Trump said get out.

130
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: And the left can't handle that, that reality of that situation.

131
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: The left is so desperate that Trump be guilty because

132
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: he must be destroyed. But it isn't just Trump, it

133
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: is whoever comes next. There is no honesty to take place,

134
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: there is no engagement of a conversation to take place.

135
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: It is only how do you destroy the enemy? Those

136
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: are the facts that the left can.

137
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Scream and yell and chit chat and talk on social

138
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: media and cry and rent their clothes all screw off,

139
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: we see you.

140
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: Every data point goes in the other direction.

141
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: Why don't you just say so? Why don't you just

142
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: accept it? Why are you in such a cult that

143
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: you can't accept that on this subject you don't have it.

144
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: You could talk about the economy, you can talk about

145
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: foreign policy, you could talk about a host of things.

146
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: You don't have it. All your name calling, all your

147
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: screaming and yelling. Why can't you just accept the fact

148
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: that on this you don't have it. You might have

149
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: it on other things, Why can't it be about policy.

150
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: You don't want to be on policy. You can't have

151
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 2: a policy conversation. You can only have a destroy conversation.

152
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: That's all. That's all you can do. I favor the

153
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: full release of the Epstein files, and the only things

154
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: I wanted redacted were the names of victims. And there

155
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: are people clearly in connection or in these files that

156
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: did nothing wrong. I didn't want them to have to

157
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 2: suffer from being listed in a report.

158
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: I am as clear as day.

159
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: You can go back to the very beginning of these conversations,

160
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: and I'm the guy who said President Trump was wrong,

161
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 2: and people yelled at me, Ah, screw them, they were wrong.

162
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about it when people are wrong.

163
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: Gotta be honest, You got to be clear. You gotta

164
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: be able to stick to your guns and not sway.

165
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: Why can't you just accept this? Why can't you just

166
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: accept you don't have it on this one? Why can't

167
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: you do it? The answer to why you can't do it,

168
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you asked, is that you don't want to.

169
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: You have no interest in doing so.

170
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: You don't have an interest in honesty, You don't have

171
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 2: an interest in the truth. You don't have an interest

172
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: in engagement in the discussion. You don't have it. I

173
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: don't know if you're capable of it. At this stage

174
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: of the game. You are in the borg mentality of

175
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: one mind on all things. Destroy, not engage, and not discuss,

176
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: not de bait.

177
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 3: Destroy.

178
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: I don't know of any other way to fight that

179
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: except to never once back down to it. It's something

180
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: that we learned from the early days of cancel culture.

181
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: The people who gave into cancel culture only gave rise

182
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: to more cancel culture.

183
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: The people have said, why don't you go to hell?

184
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: Oh sure, The voices got loud for a while, and

185
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: then they moved on to somebody else.

186
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: Because they went for the easy target. Don't be the

187
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: easy target.

188
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: If President Trump has taught anything, whether you like him

189
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: or not, is that you don't give in. They punched,

190
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: you punched back ten times harder. They bring the gun

191
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: to the knife fight, you bring all the guns to

192
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: the knife fight. You don't stop. You get totally relent lists.

193
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: You never once given, and in Trump's case, you never

194
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: once admit nope, no, no, no, no, no, I'm perfect.

195
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: You're the problem. I am in great shape and the

196
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: peak of a fitness mentally and physically, and.

197
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: You are a low life fact bastard, you Olympic athlete.

198
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it is amazing. Stuh, It's incredible stuff. But

199
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 3: he's shown it. What is interesting is that the left

200
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: refuses to relent.

201
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: He keeps pushing back, and they keep coming back because

202
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: they believe that this is the tactic that will win.

203
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: And so when Trump doesn't fall for it, they get

204
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: more and more intense, which is why you see things

205
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: get violent, why you see Antifa and other things happen.

206
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: There are so many subjects to which there could be

207
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: a debate about Trump and about policy and about personality

208
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: that the left could win, and they choose not to.

209
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: They don't want to win that way because they know

210
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: they can't because it involves too much discussion and it

211
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: involves people maybe having a different opinion.

212
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: And if there's one thing that progressivism.

213
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: Shows is that there can be no difference of opinion.

214
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: It must be the same thought everywhere, at all.

215
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: Times, the same thought, the same concept, constantly and consistently,

216
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: without any deviation.

217
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: The deviation is deadly to the Democrat.

218
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: So they won't be they won't be changing, they won't

219
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: be engaging differently. They will see more and more information

220
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: that Trump figured out who this guy was and wanted

221
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: no part of him, and they'll continue to scream pedophile,

222
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: whatever idiocy they scream. Our job is to pay no attention,

223
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: is to laugh in their face.

224
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: And to go win the midterms because this nonsense can't

225
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: be rewarded. ICE needs to continue to do their job.

226
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: This economy needs two or three things to change. And

227
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: there's some interesting data out today and those those midterms

228
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: are indeed winnable. But if there's any place that we

229
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: have to start.

230
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: These people what they're screaming and they're yelling, and their

231
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: unwillingness to recognize what's clear to everybody. They need to

232
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: be pushed back on liars, frauds, cultists, freaks, and to

233
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: quote Governor Tim Walls, these leftists are just plain weird.

234
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: They won't accept the truth. These people are weird and

235
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: they cannot be allowed to win. I'm Tony Katz and

236
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: this is Tony Katz today. I do want to get

237
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: into this.

238
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 4: There's a all for Roger Goodell to be fired because

239
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: of the crazy.

240
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: Because of the halftime show. Can we stop it already?

241
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: The halftime show happened, and it was bad, bunny, and

242
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: it's over, and the NFL has spoken and they don't care.

243
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: They don't care.

244
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: So stop you're screaming.

245
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: You're yelling.

246
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: You're never gonna watch the NFL. Get okay, don't watch

247
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: the NFL. I have made statements about Stephen Colbert. This

248
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: show should be canceled already. And then I done with Colbert.

249
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: It's gross that he saw in the air. It's gross

250
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: that any sponsor would sponsor the program. It's gross, this fraud.

251
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: But then I move on with my life. The NFL

252
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: does not care whether the basic fan is happy or unhappy.

253
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: They're doing what they're doing. They take a.

254
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: Look at the ratings and say, good enough by us.

255
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: We're reaching out to this larger international audience and that's

256
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: all they care about.

257
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 3: So that's that.

258
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: But if you're going to as a claim that it's

259
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: a conservative position to go after Cadel and go after this,

260
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna win. I think you're engaged

261
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: in a losing battle. Now, if someone wants to discuss

262
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: with me the idea of Puerto Rican independence, wait, do

263
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: you mean statehood or do you mean independence? Because if

264
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 2: you think that Puerto Rico is going to exist as

265
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: its own country. Well, best of luck with that. And

266
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: if we want to discuss Puerto Rican statehood, are they

267
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: going to keep getting a five ex return on the

268
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: taxes that bring that come in and they still as

269
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: a nation can't figure out how to get the power going?

270
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: Who this is somehow my fault. Your power issues are

271
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: not my fault. Your lack of governance is not my fault.

272
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: But what are we talking about here? Who is bad

273
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: Bunny even think he's lecturing to? And then there's this

274
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: the whole idea that Tony, you don't understand the bad

275
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: Bunny being the halftime show it was about unity? Allow

276
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: me to powerphrase because I can't use the cursing on air?

277
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 2: John Stewart, who the blank thinks the halftime show is

278
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: supposed to bring unity? What kind of nonsense is? What

279
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: kind of leftist nonsense is this? You would have to

280
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 2: be peers more than ridiculous to think that makes any sense?

281
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: And entertain me dance for me? Well, I gotta make

282
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: a rain hold on a second, I got cash, I

283
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 2: got cat. What do I gotta use? We're doing ones here,

284
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: twenties here? How do we make a rain. That's all

285
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: you gotta do. Entertain me, that's it. That's all I'm

286
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: looking for. I'll take a lecture some other time. The

287
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: NFL is like, Okay, we want a lecture. We want

288
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 2: to do this. We think it's good for our international numbers.

289
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: And that's the game, guys. The NFL will not stop.

290
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: And Roger Goodell's not going anywhere. This is Tony Katz today.

291
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: We've got the White House Briefing coming up soon, so

292
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: I'll bring you three more things right now, Tony Katz,

293
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, good to be with you. Three more

294
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: things that should be discussed and made into mainstream stories

295
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: that are not right now main streame stories. And we

296
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 2: will start with Eric Swalwell being Eric Swalwell.

297
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: Supposed to protect or will you side with the killers

298
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: bringing terror to our streets?

299
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 3: Mister Lyons, Will you resign from Ice?

300
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: No? Sorry? Well why not? Because, sir, that child that

301
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: you're showing right there, the men and women of ICE

302
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 2: took care of him when his father abandoned him, and

303
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: Ramon law enforced. Time has expired. Time has expired. I

304
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: recognize John, Yes, the old He never should have gone

305
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 2: into custody, Thank you. Eric Swalwell, the congressman from California

306
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: running for governor, always upset when the illegal immigrant is

307
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 2: uh is uh put in in in cuffs, has to

308
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: deal with the consequences of his law breaking. But there

309
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: he is talking to the head of ICE and talk

310
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: about you used a five year old child as bait.

311
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: That story has already been debunked. The guy ran and

312
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 2: left and abandoned his kid. You think the ICE director

313
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: should resign for then? I don't think that guy should

314
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: is a good parent. He abandoned his child. Might as

315
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 2: well have left the kid in a hot car. What's

316
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 2: the difference. The kid gonna survive without the parent. Your

317
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: abandon the child. Nobody's there to take care of the kid.

318
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: That kid dies. That's what this guy did, and that's

319
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 2: who Eric Swawell is defending. They can't be normal for

320
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 2: five minutes. They can't do it, they don't want to

321
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 2: do it, they refuse to do it.

322
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 3: So that's one of the stories that should be making.

323
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: The the headlines. Then there is as bill illusion over

324
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: there at Fox News reports San Francisco based Ninth Circuit

325
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 2: Court of Appeals issued in order siding with the Department

326
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security on termination of Temporary Protected Status from

327
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 2: migrants from Nicaragua, Honduras and Nepal. The Ninth Circuit, writing,

328
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: the Government is likely to prevail in its argument that

329
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: the secretary's decision meaning Secretary Nome Secretary of Homelodsecurity, that

330
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: the Secretary's decision making process and terminating TPS for Nicaragua

331
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: and Nepal was not arbitrary and capricious. Specifically, the government

332
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: can likely show that the administrative record adequately supports the

333
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: Secretary's actions, that the TPS statute does not require the

334
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: Secretary to consider intervening country conditions arising after the events

335
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: that led to the initial designation, and that the Secretary's

336
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: decision not to consider intervening conditions does not amount to

337
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: an unexplained change in policy.

338
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: Kratz have a theory that once something is established.

339
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: It must always be that way. Their idea is that

340
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 2: because at one moment temporary protected status was given, that

341
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: it must always be given, and no question can come

342
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: as to whether or not the conditions from which that

343
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: TPS the temporary Protected status was granted, have those conditions changed.

344
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: How dare you even think of questioning whether or not

345
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: the conditions changed. How dare you open your eyes and look?

346
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: That's their argument. That is their argument, how dare you

347
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: open your eyes and look? I think you should always

348
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 2: open your eyes and look. You should always be one

349
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: asking the question. Anybody who's been in business for more

350
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: than five minutes stands that one of the key things

351
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: to running your business is a defining and redefining of

352
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 2: the business. I years ago, in my days in restaurants,

353
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 2: somebody that my father knew was sitting at the table

354
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: with us and explaining this that in business you're always

355
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: defining and redefining your business. My original thought on that

356
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: was that you're defining the actual business itself. Is this

357
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: the business you're inner? Is that the business you're in?

358
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: I think that as I've gotten older, maybe wiser, I

359
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 2: don't know, it has been about you're constantly going over it.

360
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: What is it that you're looking at? What is it

361
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 2: that you're that you're actually trying to get accomplished here?

362
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: How is the best way to get this accomplished? You're looking,

363
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: You're seeing, you're checking. You might say, hey, this costs

364
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: me more, but I believe I create a value over

365
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: here with customer attention.

366
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 3: Hey I can maybe make an opportunity here. Maybe I

367
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 3: can create a growth factor over here.

368
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: You're looking at.

369
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 3: The things that say, how do I how do I

370
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: build upon this?

371
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: How do I make it leaner, smarter, better, more interesting,

372
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: or more profitable?

373
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: All sorts of things.

374
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: The guy from the Savannah Bananas, Jesse Cole is that

375
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: his name.

376
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

377
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: He makes the argument that there are a series of

378
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: potential profit centers that he has no interest in. He

379
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: offers up his games with the Savannah Bananas and what

380
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: they've created via their YouTube channel that's gratis.

381
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: And if you were to ever.

382
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: Sell the Savannah Bananas, they would immediately start charging for

383
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 2: those games.

384
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: And he thinks that takes away from the entire point

385
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 3: the thing that makes them special. They don't charge for this,

386
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 3: and they don't charge for that, and.

387
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: They cover this for employees, and they cover that, and

388
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: they don't want to take away from that. They think

389
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: that's the magic. He's not running his business wrong. He's

390
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 2: running it exactly the way he should. He is defining

391
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: and redefining what it is that's important to him. Something

392
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: that the letter will never understand about the capitalist. They

393
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: think it's about the money. It's never just about the money.

394
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: It's actually arguably not even about the money. It is

395
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: about the freedom to create as one wants to create,

396
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 2: to the moment of their happiness.

397
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: They all seem to avoid. I don't even know Milton Freeman.

398
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: Ever discussed the idea of to the moment of their happiness.

399
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: To me, that is the.

400
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: Fundamental, that is the quintessential nature of capitalism. I get

401
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 2: to choose, and I get to choose when I'm done,

402
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 2: I can choose to build this business any which way

403
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 2: I choose. I have talked about the fact that when

404
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: my father passed in twenty twenty four, I took over

405
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: the business merchant services credit card processing, not the issuing

406
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: of credit cards. That's the issuing side, the acquiring side.

407
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: You're a business, you want to accept credit cards. I

408
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 2: help out with that in more and more kind of

409
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: niche and unique situations.

410
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 3: Happy to help, happy to be a service.

411
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 2: And I have spoken with people who are like, you know, Tony,

412
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: we could do this with the business.

413
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: We can do that.

414
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: You can grow it this way, you can build it

415
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 2: that way. And I have said very clearly, no, thanks,

416
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: it's not how I'm running this thing. I am not

417
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: looking to build this to be a massive enterprise, and

418
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: take away from this. I will build it as a

419
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: what I would describe as a lifestyle business, and it

420
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: will build slower, and I'll take care of people I know,

421
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: like and trust, and it'll be solid. Who knows, five

422
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: years from now, maybe I'll make the switch, but I

423
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: will run it as I see fit. That that's the

424
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: joy and the glory of capitalism. Fantastic. Now, I bring

425
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: all this up as I was discussing temporary protected status

426
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: was an interesting little segue there. Only a fool doesn't

427
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: go back to something and say, okay, let's take another

428
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: look at this. Does this still make sense? And temporary

429
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: protected status, in my view, was always about creating a

430
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: jobs program. We'll bring these people in, will absolutely violate

431
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: the spirit of immigration laws, and we'll we ate cheap

432
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: workforces for companies and corporations and plant workers, plant owners,

433
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: et cetera.

434
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: When I went to Springfield, Ohio to take a look

435
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: at what.

436
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: Was happening with you know, they're eating the dogs and

437
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: eating the cats. True, it wasn't a I didn't spend

438
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: one hundred days there. We talked to people, we looked

439
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: at things, We talked to people in the street. We

440
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: talked to people in restaurants. They told us a whole

441
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: bunch of things, things that Donald Trump was wrong about,

442
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: things that were an issue, like the lack of driver's

443
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: licenses and and how rents have gone sky high. But

444
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: so many people defending the Haitian migrants said that the

445
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: people who work in the factories, the factory owners love

446
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: these people because they work so hard. And the answer

447
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: was so it was so, I want to say, wrote,

448
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: but there's a there's a better word for it. I

449
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: think I think the kids would say performative. It was

450
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: such a practiced response and exactly the same response from

451
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: different people.

452
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: Then I'm like, that does.

453
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: Not make any sense. That's not what's happening here. We're

454
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: supportive of this because they're working in the factories. So wait,

455
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: this is a jobs program. As a matter of fact,

456
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: if you go back and look at some of those

457
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: videos we discussed it, I didn't know we were right.

458
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: It's just this is how it came across, and it

459
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: turns out we were right. TPS has been utilized in

460
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: this way as a jobs program, and so being able

461
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: to pull this temporary protected status is incredibly important because

462
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: it shows that just because something was doesn't mean that

463
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: it has to be. We can be wait for it,

464
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: unburdened by what has been. Thank you, Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris.

465
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: Everybody seriously puditional landon nothing nothing for Kamala Harris. I didn't.

466
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: I'm trying too late. Now we know how you feel.

467
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: We know that when Kamala Harris was talking about sexist.

468
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: Bigots, she meant producer landing. Sure, some things remain.

469
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: That's the constitution, seeing if a policy still has value.

470
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: By the way amendments amendments to be able to say,

471
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: maybe this thing doesn't have value, We're gonna have the

472
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: eighteenth Amendment and say Noah, good drink. And then we're

473
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: gonna have the twenty first Amendment because that eighteenth Amendment sucked.

474
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: Only Democrats don't think we should go back and look

475
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: at things now. I did have three more things, but

476
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to hold off on one of those

477
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: stories because it's absolutely horrifying, and I'll bring it to

478
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: you next.

479
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz.

480
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: Today, there is a story circulating by a Brandy Cruise.

481
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't know Brandy Cruz. I know that she's on

482
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: the Twitter X. She does a show called Undivided, and

483
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: the story goes as follows that there is a wrestler

484
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: teen athlete and this wrestler girl. Here's girls wrestling. She

485
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: is wrestling, and her opponent is trying to get position,

486
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: and in trying to get position, the opponent has basically

487
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: inserted into this female wrestler. I don't know how else

488
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: to say it. The opponent's arm is between this female

489
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: wrestler's legs, and the next thing you know, the wrestler

490
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: on top.

491
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 3: Has utilized their fingers.

492
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: I think I've explained it right. And this female wrestler

493
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 2: looks directly at her mother with a face of like

494
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 2: what in the world is happening? And there's actual video

495
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: of this. She looks horrified. The mother doesn't understand. The

496
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: mother's just cheering out like hey do this do that

497
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: and actually says, I don't know why she's looking like that.

498
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 3: This sixteen year old sophomore, who has been.

499
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 2: Very clear that she has never felt or experienced anything

500
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: like that, did not realize that she was actually wrestling

501
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 2: a boy who claimed to be a girl, and is

502
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: now saying that she was assaulted by this trans wrestler.

503
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: What is one supposed to do about this? This female

504
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 2: wrestler allowed herself to be pinned to make it stop,

505
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: to make the entire match stop, and then had to

506
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: go find her coach. She didn't know at first she

507
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 2: was wrestling a boy. All she said was, you will

508
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: not believe what happened to me. She was going to

509
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: tell her coach, this is what the opponent did, even

510
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: before knowing that it was a boy wrestling her. It's

511
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: an absolutely horrifying story. Horrifying story. Now one could assume,

512
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: as would happen in wrestling, and certainly happens in men's wrestling,

513
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: things get hitt and jostled. Wrestling is a rough sport.

514
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 2: Those guys are a different breed. This is a different story.

515
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: And anyone who's like, well, that's just a sport. Nah,

516
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: And we're not done yet with this protecting girls in sports.

517
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: We're not done. I would love but for.

518
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 2: Us to be able to move on to other subjects,

519
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: but nope, the Left still things they can get away

520
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 2: with this stuff, and the Left has to lose.

521
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 3: It's an incredible story.

522
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: As reported.

523
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: On Tony Katz.

524
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: Line from Baal Hartbiner and the Crossroads of America. It's

525
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today.

526
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: Why has Pressbury been scheduled to start at any moment?

527
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: And a statement from Cash Paatel.

528
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 3: This, of course is the FBI director.

529
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: Who has put out a statement on Twitter xs new

530
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: images in the search for Nancy Guthrie. The story is

531
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: out of control. It's weirder and weirder by the second.

532
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be here, good

533
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: to be with you. And this is what is put

534
00:36:54,560 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: out by Cash Pattel, the FBI Director. Over the last

535
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: eight days, the FBI and Peba County Sheriff's Department have

536
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: been working closely with our private sector partners to continue

537
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie's

538
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible to

539
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: do a variety due to a variety of factors, including

540
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from

541
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: residual data located in back end systems. Nancy Guthrie is

542
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 2: the mother of Savannah Guthrie. Savannah Guthrie is the host

543
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 2: of The Today Show, and Nancy Guthrie eighty four years old,

544
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: living in Arizona went missing, and there is a belief

545
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: that she was taken kidnapped, that there is a hostage situation,

546
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: that there is a ransom, and there have been a

547
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: series of deadlines that have been set and have passed,

548
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: and according to the reporting, there was it no notification

549
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: from or no connection to the alleged kidnappers, no response

550
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: from them. It's all very odd. And I will say

551
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: to you that this situation is very odd, and I

552
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 2: am one of the people who is asking is this

553
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 2: just incompetence that we're seeing.

554
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: In the investigation? Is some of it purposeful?

555
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: Now that's the part that I think that throws people

556
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: that very often in these situations, what looks disjointed and

557
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 2: what looks confusing is purposeful because the objective is to

558
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: engage here while you're searching there, to find a mistake,

559
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: or to engage someone so you can actually get to

560
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 2: a level of rescue.

561
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 3: Right, it doesn't play as I guess we would describe

562
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: it as linear.

563
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 2: And not being any expert on hostage negotiations or tactics

564
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 2: at all, I don't have any anything else I can

565
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: offer here. What I've said from the beginning is this

566
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: is a very ugly situation because if this can now

567
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: be a thing, you're not. You didn't go after Savannah Guthrie.

568
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 2: You went after mom to get to Savannah Guthrie so

569
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 2: you can get her money, so you can get NBC's money.

570
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: What was the what was the thing happening here? And

571
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: then you've got one hundred other things that you can ask, like,

572
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: this is so weird. I wonder if this is even legit,

573
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: which is a legitimate thing to say.

574
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 3: I don't know yet. I have no clue as to what.

575
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: We're looking at here, Cash Hotel continues, And part of

576
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 2: this was because it was it was known that the

577
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 2: ring camera system that Mom had, Nancy Guthrie had was

578
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: kind of ripped off the walls missing.

579
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 3: Someone took the camera.

580
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: But of course there's footage that already exists on the

581
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 2: campra work one with our partners, writes Cash Betel, FBI director.

582
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 2: As of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously

583
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have

584
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: tampered with the camera at Nancy got through his front

585
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 2: door during the morning of the disappearance, and anyone with

586
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: information tips dot FBI, doc Gov or one eight hundred

587
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: call FBI. So now this is the imagery. There is

588
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: a guy. Is that is that a gun in his

589
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: left hand? So he's pants, sneakers, a zip up sweater.

590
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: I guess we'll call it.

591
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 3: It's not a jacket.

592
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: It looks more like it would be fleece, like a

593
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: sche mask. You could see the eyes. I'm assuming the

594
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: dude is white based on the eyes, black gloves, a backpack,

595
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 2: and I guess in the left hand that's a firearm.

596
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: But it's not like there are holding the gun. It's

597
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: like they're holding the holster and the gun is in

598
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 2: the holster. It's kind of pointed down. That's the way

599
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: it looks to me. So that's one of the photos

600
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: which brings us to a shot of I'm sorry, is

601
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: that a man or a woman? Now I'm saying it's

602
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: a shot directly almost like head on.

603
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 5: And.

604
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: I can't one hundred percent tell if that's a man

605
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: or that's a woman. And are those flowers in the

606
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 2: left hand right in front of the camera weird? Then

607
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: there is another shot where the gun is still kind

608
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: of it's on the person like directly in front like beltline,

609
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 2: and then yeah, right, and then and then being held

610
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: on with the left hand and then the right hand

611
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 2: is kind in front of the camera. And by the way,

612
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 2: you know, we're live streaming and the chat rooms, like,

613
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 2: it does look like a woman, right the eyes and

614
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: the lashes, didn't it. I wasn't making that up like

615
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: it does because the arithma the first image like, it

616
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 2: looks like a guy. Then that second image you're like,

617
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 2: wait a second. The third image is the same thing,

618
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 2: looks like a woman. Then you get to the fourth image,

619
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: which has more of a close up on the face,

620
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 2: and this is a knit scheme mask. Now I think

621
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: you could see a little bit of the hole of

622
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 2: the mouth there and that looks like that could be

623
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: a mustache. So I could you know, you can't tell.

624
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that just it looked a little

625
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: bit odd. So these are the images that are now

626
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: out and people are going to examine these things every

627
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 2: which way. But loose By the way, it wasn't a

628
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 2: ring camera.

629
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 3: It seems to be a nest camera because it says neest.

630
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 2: On the on the on the imagery an e s

631
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 2: t right that company. I don't I don't know, I

632
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: don't know what to say here. The whole thing is

633
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: just so peculiar. But there is no part of this

634
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: with family being targeted. This is concerning, So it's true.

635
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 2: We wouldn't be paying as much attention to the story

636
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 2: if it wasn't somebody who was on national television daily.

637
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: I think part of the reason we're paying attention to

638
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 2: it is that that's it happened to. And it does

639
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: make it even more of a story because was that

640
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: part of the targeting.

641
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 3: There's a concern there, a legitimate concern.

642
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: So that's the latest on Nancy Guthrie, whom I hope

643
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 2: they find safe and healthy. We've got a briefing coming up.

644
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 2: I will bring it to you when it begins. Keep

645
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: it here. I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz

646
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: today Why House briefing is set to begin any moment,

647
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 2: and one of the stories should be about this housing legislation.

648
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: I know that it's going to be about Department of

649
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: Publand Security and funding and the Democrats they have sent

650
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: to a ten point plan or the ten points. You

651
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 2: have to meet these ten points or we will not

652
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 2: fund the Department of Homeland Security. It's cute that they

653
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 2: think they're in charge. It's adorable. John Thune wants to say, well,

654
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 2: we can't really dismantle a filibuster in time for some

655
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 2: of these votes. Well, what can you do? What can

656
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: you do, John Thune? You get, at the very least

657
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 2: state very clearly that if there is a shutdown, Chuck

658
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 2: Schumer is ensuring that all groups of people aren't paid,

659
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 2: even though you already have funding that's take in place

660
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 2: through the one big beautiful bill. Schumer doesn't give a

661
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 2: damn about the law. He only cares about power. You know,

662
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 2: he's a disgusting guy. And then John Thune should, in

663
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 2: public view, walk up to Schumer anywhere he is and

664
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 2: excoriate him and engage the full on verbal fight right

665
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: there until Schumer quite literally walks away with whatever he.

666
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 3: Has tucked between his legs.

667
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 2: Stop being abused by these people, these radicals who support

668
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 2: the paid funded militias against immigrations and customs enforcement, against

669
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 2: law enforcement, and against the American people. Dear Lord, take

670
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 2: these democrats to task, nose to nose. Don't you shy

671
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 2: away from these chumps, not for a second. But that's

672
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: going to be a huge part of this. But you know,

673
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: there was agreement on a housing bill the House passed

674
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: this bipartisan housing bill by a vote of three hundred

675
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 2: and ninety to nine. Three hundred and ninety members of Congress.

676
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: That is insane to believe in this Congress they got

677
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: together to agree with this because they're focused on what

678
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: housing affordability? Oh do I not like the term housing affordability? First,

679
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm cool with everybody jumping on

680
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 2: and agreeing that affordability is now what we refer to

681
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,959
Speaker 2: everything as. But when we take a look at as described,

682
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: you take a look at President Trump last month executive

683
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: orders to make it harder for large investment firms to

684
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 2: buy single family homes, and we had a disagreement about this.

685
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: I accept that if we have these companies buying homes everywhere,

686
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: then it makes home ownership tougher. And that is an issue.

687
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 2: I hear you, and I do question what is the plan?

688
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: How do you prevent this from happening? And I haven't

689
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 2: come to a conclusion yet, because if somebody is making

690
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: me an offer on my home, If someone is making

691
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: me an offer, why aren't I, as the owner of

692
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 2: that property, of that asset, Why aren't I allowed to

693
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 2: sell it?

694
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 3: Now?

695
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: I can counter my own argument, Tony, what if the

696
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 2: person trying to buy it was the member of the

697
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: Communist Chinese Party, Well, then I would argue, for national

698
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 2: security reasons, you can't sell it to them. I absolutely

699
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: would argue that ten percent. Is it the same when

700
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 2: you sell your home to Blackrock. I'm using my argument

701
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 2: and now I'm fighting my own argument. So please, I

702
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 2: understand that I hear you. I am just I am

703
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: asking I.

704
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 3: Start with this basic question.

705
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: It's like when these areas that want to say that

706
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 2: you can't rent your house. We only allow in our city,

707
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 2: in our town, ten percent of homes to be rented.

708
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 2: It's my house.

709
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 3: Why can't I rent it? It's my home?

710
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 2: Why can't I airbnb it? Which brings out a conversation

711
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 2: about Hoa's homeowners associations. But if you buy it an

712
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 2: HOA with HOA rules, you already know what you're buying in.

713
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: You don't have to buy there. Now, one could argue

714
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 2: Hoa's are still criminally insane. In many cases, a lot

715
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: of these HOA people are total freaks. I'll agree with you.

716
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,479
Speaker 2: But still you can you can say that you bought

717
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 2: in the HOA and you knew what was happening. It's

718
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: different than any level of federal legislation that may come

719
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 2: down the line. So what is it that we're seeing here?

720
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 2: Are we seeing the federal government try and dictate what

721
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,479
Speaker 2: can be sold, to whom it can be sold and when,

722
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: or as is described, they're trying to incentivize construction of

723
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 2: multifamily homes, therefore maybe less expensive homes, taller buildings on

724
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 2: smaller lots so you can add more homes, less restrictive

725
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 2: permitting process in state and local jurisdictions. All well, if

726
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about getting rid of regulations, I'm

727
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: all in. I'm absolutely all in. And somebody had asked

728
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 2: me about the Sunday Morning Show. I'm not saying you're

729
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 2: gonna get rid of building codes. One could argue that

730
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 2: what building codes do is ensure that the house doesn't

731
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 2: fall down and therefore lead to more danger and more

732
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 2: cost for the municipality in question, right, we're not better

733
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 2: off if if you're not using nails, you decide you're

734
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: just getting you some spit and chewing gum and put

735
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: it together. It's like when Boeing builds a plane and

736
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: they use dish soap instead of the proper lubrication to

737
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 2: put an door.

738
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't want that.

739
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: We can accept that there can be certain levels of

740
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 2: rules and regulations, but when you tell me that you're

741
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: going to incentivize the construction of multi family homes, that

742
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 2: you would create have pattern books of pre approved housing

743
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 2: designs compliant with local building codes. So now we're not

744
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: we're going to claim that we're helping to get more

745
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: houses built by creating regulation that says you can build

746
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 2: this house if you build exactly this. And so now

747
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, it's little boxes on the hillside,

748
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: little boxes made of tiki taki, and they all look

749
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 2: just the same. That's we saw what regulation did via

750
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 2: cafe standards with vehicles.

751
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 3: With cars, right, Oh.

752
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 2: It's got to have this many miles per gallon, it's

753
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 2: got to have this safety feature, and it's got to

754
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 2: have this stupid thing that minds about your kids in

755
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: the back seat. You remind yourself of the kid in

756
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: the back seat. I don't need the freaking message.

757
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 3: Thank you. And what happened?

758
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: All those mid sized SUVs look exactly the same, so boring,

759
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 2: all of them, holly and totally predictable. They all look

760
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: the same and for the record, like crap, because they

761
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 2: have no soul, they have no uniqueness. And dear Lord,

762
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: can we stop being such a monochromatic society. Can we

763
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 2: have some cars that have a little bit of color,

764
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 2: a little bit of flavor, a little bit of zing,

765
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 2: a little bit of something little hat sha shah. Build

766
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: cars for the individual, Build cool crap. Stop building the

767
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 2: same nonsense. That's that's the problem. We're from the government.

768
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 2: We're here to help. Oh, good lord, right, that's what

769
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: Reagan said, were the nine most dangerous words. I'm from

770
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: the government and I'm here to help. Is that nine

771
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: Let's just call it nine or is it eleven? I

772
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: don't know. Count the words and then tell me. This

773
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 2: is where I have an issue. If you tell me

774
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 2: you want to build more multi family homes, I think

775
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: we have a massive problem with apartments in many cities

776
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: across the country. And I'm not discussing a New York

777
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 2: or a metropolis like that. I'm talking about smaller, smaller cities.

778
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 2: Apartments are not the way to grow. And you also

779
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 2: have to accept the fact that I'm a believer in growth,

780
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: that maybe there's a moment of Okay, this part of

781
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 2: our growth is done. Now we have to get into

782
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 2: a management conversation. How do we manage these the homes

783
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 2: that we have and the condos that we have in

784
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 2: the apartments we have so we can get people still

785
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 2: coming in at a viable price to be able to

786
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 2: see growth in other places in our city. And when

787
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 2: the houses aren't viable, you go to another city because

788
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 2: the housing is less expensive.

789
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 3: Do you remember this argument that was me?

790
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 2: I think it was Shapiro. I think it was Ben

791
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 2: who said that, you know, people can move somewhere else

792
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 2: in New York is too expensive.

793
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 3: And there were people on.

794
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 2: The right who got angry and they were like, how

795
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 2: dare you? What do you mean? How dare you? How

796
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 2: the hell do you think migration works? It was too

797
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 2: costly here, so we live over there. It was too

798
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 2: costly in California, so I moved to Arizona. It was

799
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: too costly in New York, so I moved to New Jersey.

800
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: It was too costly in Chicago, so I moved to Indianapolis.

801
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: It was too costly here, so I went over there.

802
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 2: That is standard. It was too cold here, so I

803
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 2: moved down there. It was too dry here, so I

804
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 2: moved over there. It was too more human over here,

805
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 2: so I went over that place. This is normal stuff,

806
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 2: normal stuff that normal people do. So I look at

807
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 2: this legislation and I take a look at the government's

808
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 2: helping and I say, don't that's basically it. And then

809
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 2: I get gased. It becomes a whole thing, serious, serious,

810
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 2: serious goes. You're a testinal issue. I don't like it.

811
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 3: I don't like it.

812
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 2: Because my immediate reaction is good, Lord, I do not

813
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 2: want government involved in this. Now. It is true that

814
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 2: people do not build homes for that first time home

815
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 2: buyer anymore because there's more money to be made by

816
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 2: building the larger home, and that is a problem. And

817
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 2: it's also true that if you remove regulation, you could

818
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 2: create more opportunities to build those starter homes. But it

819
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 2: should not be regulation where the government says, here, you

820
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 2: can build this, and it's fine. That is every town

821
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 2: looking like Levittown. Nah, I'm I am not interested.

822
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 3: So those are my concerns.

823
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 2: But three hundred and ninety votes to nine votes, something

824
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 2: tells me that's gonna end up on the President's desk.

825
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 2: Keep it here Tony Kats Today. Find everything at Tony

Speaker 2: Press free thing. I will bring it to you, Tony Katz.

828
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 2: Tony Katz today we did not wait, you know, I'm done.

829
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 3: With the bad bunny nonsense.

830
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 2: But one of the things we did not discuss was

831
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 2: the commercials, which were not great. There was a story

832
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 2: I had it on the show sheet about whether or

833
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 2: not the commercials this year were really focused on gen

834
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 2: z and women, and I'm like.

835
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know if I if I found that.

836
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 2: But we were going through the commercials and producier Land

837
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 2: and I were talking about the Guy Fiertti commercial, which

838
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 2: I forget was for Bosh, right, yeah it was, yeah,

839
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 2: the brand Bosh. I thought that was pretty good. Cluse

840
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 2: Guy Fierti looking like a normal person. I thought the

841
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 2: Duncan commercial was ridiculous with Jason Alexander and Ted Danson

842
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 2: and Tom Brady and how they did that. I was

843
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 2: at AI, what did they do? And Ben Affleck I

844
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 2: thought that was a fun commercial. The commercial starring former

845
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 2: coach Bruce arians and Ron Gronkowski and Anthony Gonzalez, Tony

846
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 2: Gonzalez the tight Ends and I think it was about

847
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 2: kidding year was about kdding I'll say checked or something

848
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 2: like that. It was.

849
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 3: I thought that was a very good commercial.

850
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 2: I thought Lays Potato Chips did an excellent job going

851
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 2: the GM Chevy, tug at your heartstrings, angle about the farm,

852
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 2: going from the father to the daughter. I thought that

853
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 2: was a good commercial. But nothing that knocked me out,

854
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 2: Nothing that was like that was mind blowing. It seemed

855
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 2: to me that the vast majority of commercials were very tepid.

856
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 2: They weren't trying to do too much. They were yes, Yes,

857
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 2: landon the Eagle and Budweiser commercial was great. That was

858
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: That was classic Americana Budweiser for a company that is

859
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 2: now owned by InBev At I think it's Belgium. That

860
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 2: was a good commercial, But it's not like do you

861
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 2: remember the Dodge Challenger commercial where with George Washington. This

862
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 2: is going on fifteen years ago and the British are advancing,

863
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 2: and it's set in the colonial times, and the American

864
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 2: troops are are trying to figure out what's happening. All

865
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 2: of a sudden, there's a scout that's running through the woods

866
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 2: to give the British position, and all of a sudden

867
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 2: comes this Dodge Challenger screaming, driving directly at the British

868
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 2: and the American flag in the you know, stuck to

869
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 2: the back and the British are falling all over themselves,

870
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 2: and inside the car it's George Washington driving and the

871
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 2: tagline is America got a few things right, cars and freedom.

872
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: Oh that adds still. I have given whole speeches before

873
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 2: based on that. I have whole talks. I love that commercial.

874
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 2: It's so good, But no, there weren't. There's there's nothing memorable.

875
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 2: So I'm going over it and there's nothing memorable, and

876
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 2: so I go back to the story, like the ads

877
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: are focused on women and gen z. I'm like, I don't.

878
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case. I don't didn't.

879
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 2: I didn't.

880
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 3: I didn't get that.

881
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't get that they were focused on

882
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 2: anything other than saying, let's not anger many people. Let's

883
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: just spend our money and hope that we get some clicks.

884
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 2: The Mister Beats commercial was more interesting than most of

885
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 2: the commercials. That was the take. Really, not much to

886
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 2: take from these ads. Now for a one o'clock press conference, Man,

887
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 2: have they screwed up timing? Fierce forty minutes past the hour,

888
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 2: but they're going to get started, and I want to

889
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 2: carry as much of it as possible.

890
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 3: I have got a conversation.

891
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk to Congresswoman Aaron Houchin and then

892
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 2: doctor Matt Will economists at the University of Indianapolis as well,

893
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 2: what do we know about these retail sales numbers from

894
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 2: the month of December, and speak to Representative Houchin about

895
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 2: whether or not we're going to see the Save Act

896
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 2: past and whether or not we're going to have voter

897
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 2: idea in America. I will come back with the White

898
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 2: House briefing.

899
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 3: Keep it here. This is Tony Katz today.

900
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 6: Additionally, on Thursday, President Trump will be joined by Administrator

901
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 6: Lee Zelden to formalize the recision of the two thousand

902
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 6: and nine Obama era Endangerment Finding. This will be the

903
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:47,919
Speaker 6: largest deregulatory action in American history, and it will save

904
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 6: the American people one point three trillion dollars in crushing regulations.

905
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 6: The bulk of the savings will stem from reduced costs

906
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 6: for new vehicles, with the EPA projecting average per vehicle

907
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 6: savings of more than twenty four hundred dollars for popular

908
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 6: light duty cars, SUVs, and trucks excellently. This is just

909
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 6: one more way this administration is working to make life

910
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 6: more affordable for everyday Americans. Overall, these groundbreaking actions from

911
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 6: President Trump will drive larger economic growth, create thousands of

912
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 6: good paying jobs, expand manufacturing, increase consumer choice, and improve

913
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 6: affordability for millions of families and businesses. Finally, on Friday,

914
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 6: President Trump and First Lady Milania Trump will travel to

915
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 6: Fort Bragg in the great state of North Carolina to

916
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 6: meet with military families and the heroic members of our

917
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 6: special forces who carried out the successful Operation Absolute Resolve

918
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 6: in Venezuela and helped bring Narco terrorist Nicholas Maduro to justice.

919
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not saying that that isn't important, but this

920
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 2: moved from the EPA, these moves to reduce costs.

921
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 3: This is the kind of stuff that people should cheer.

922
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 2: You know. I was talking earlier about the madness of

923
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 2: these warnings.

924
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 3: That they have in the car.

925
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 2: Hey, don't forget to check the back seat to see

926
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 2: if the kids are there. I don't want that in

927
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 2: my car. I don't want anything like that in my

928
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: vehicle at all. Thank you. I don't want the stupid

929
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 2: thing that you have to press so the car doesn't

930
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 2: stop when you're at a red light. Well, it's saving gats.

931
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 2: Leave me alone. I don't want any of that nonsense,

932
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 2: and I want those things gone and out of the car.

933
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 2: These things are supposed to help us make our lives

934
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 2: better safety. No, it's just increased costs and increased nonsense.

935
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 2: And we did certainly the same thing with EPA regulations.

936
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 2: So rational rollbacks I am all in.

937
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 6: Favor of, which every single Democrat in Congress voted against

938
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 6: AMAC that presents millions of Americans has heard directly from

939
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 6: more than their thousand members already about how the Trump

940
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 6: tax cuts are easing cost of living concerns. I wanted

941
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 6: to share a few of those powerful responses with you today.

942
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 6: This one comes from Dean and Wendy in Wisconsin, who said, quote,

943
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,479
Speaker 6: instead of paying out thirty seven hundred dollars last year,

944
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 6: we got back twenty five hundred dollars in refunds this year.

945
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 7: This is huge for our family.

946
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 6: Steve from California said the quote, the new Senior citizen

947
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 6: deduction is a tremendous relief and has given us peace

948
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 6: of mind and the freedom to truly enjoy the retirement

949
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 6: years we worked so hard for.

950
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 2: So this is all part of something that we discussed.

951
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,919
Speaker 2: You can't say that the one big beautiful bill, it's

952
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 2: say it solves everything. What you must do is show

953
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 2: how it is helping, the specifics of how it is helping.

954
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 2: That's what is key. You have to be able to say,

955
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 2: we passed this, and here's where you'll see it. We

956
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 2: passed this, and here's how you're seeing it. We made

957
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 2: this move and here is the result. You gotta show

958
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 2: them that is what has to take place.

959
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 3: That's the story.

960
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 2: It's incredibly important that they do this, and they've gotten

961
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 2: much better at it. And I want to be as

962
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 2: clear as day this screaming that you know, the right

963
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 2: can't win the midterms, it's all lost, not in the slightest,

964
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 2: not in the slight that is as wrong as wrong

965
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:50,439
Speaker 2: can be difficult. I agree, lost, get bent.

966
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 3: There is so much time.

967
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 2: What they want to do is set narrative. Now. I

968
01:04:58,120 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 2: don't know about you, but I'm not about to let

969
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 2: them that. I would never dream of letting them do that.

970
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 2: And then there's the conversations Caroline Levitz having it right

971
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 2: now the White House Press Secretary about.

972
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 6: Trump accounts per year per employee. President Trump believes there

973
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 6: is no better investment than investing in our nation's children.

974
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 6: If you are a parent who maximizes contributions to your

975
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 6: child's Trump account, its projected value could reach nearly one

976
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 6: point one million dollars by the time your child turns

977
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 6: twenty eight years old. Based on average historical stock market returns.

978
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 6: Safe to say the Trump accounts will give a substantial

979
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 6: headstart to position the next generation for a brighter future.

980
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 6: And with the stock market exploding under President Trump's pro

981
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 6: growth policies, there has never.

982
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 7: Been a BETTERD fifty.

983
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 6: Thousand for the first time ever on Friday, and the

984
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 6: S and P five hundred and the Nasdaq continues smashing

985
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 6: record after record. So with President Trump in charge, Americans

986
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 6: four oh one k's and retire savings are booming once again,

987
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 6: and these new Trump accounts for America's kids will boom too.

988
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 6: So with that once again, every parent should go to

989
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 6: Trump Accounts dot gov today and I'm going to put

990
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 6: it on my own personal to do list to sign

991
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 6: up for one as well.

992
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 7: With that, I will take your questions, can you too

993
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 7: from the National Review is here. Thank you for being here,

994
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 7: and why don't you kick us off?

995
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me on the criticism that immigration

996
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 8: enforcement has become arbitrary or not particularly prioritizing. Democrats have

997
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 8: been circulating the statistic that only fourteen percent of illegal

998
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 8: aliens arrested under this administration or violent criminals. But we

999
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 8: know that in deep blue cities with progressive district attorneys,

1000
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 8: it's common to cleed down serious violent crimes into less

1001
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 8: serious offenses, which could be destroying those numbers. So given

1002
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 8: that backdrop, does the administration still stand by the messaging

1003
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 8: that you're targeting the worst of the worst, and does

1004
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 8: this prevailing narrative tell the whole story?

1005
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 7: Well, thank you for bringing this up, Caroline. I've seen

1006
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 7: this CBS floating around.

1007
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 6: There's a lot of liberal talking heads and pundits and

1008
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 6: Democrat elected politicians who think that.

1009
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 7: This single story, in these statistics, in the way they are.

1010
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 6: Painted, is somehow a shot at this administration. It is

1011
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 6: non And let me correct the record. Number one, the

1012
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 6: Trump administration has been clear from day one that any

1013
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 6: illegal alien present in this country is subject to deportation. However,

1014
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 6: the priority, of course is going after the convicted criminals,

1015
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 6: the worst of the worst, the murderers, the pedophiles, the

1016
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 6: rapists in this country. Interestingly, in the CBS story, what

1017
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 6: the Democrat talking heads on television are not saying is

1018
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 6: this line. Nearly sixty percent of ICE arrestees over the

1019
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 6: past year had criminal charges or convictions, and among that population,

1020
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 6: the majority of the criminal charges or convictions are for

1021
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 6: nonviolent crimes.

1022
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 7: Oh well, what are nonviolent crimes? You ask?

1023
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 6: This has coincided with which DHS has been saying all

1024
01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 6: along that approximately seventy percent of illegal aliens arrests did

1025
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 6: under President Trump have pending criminal charges and or prior convictions.

1026
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 6: And the so called nonviolent crimes drug trafficking, distribution of

1027
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 6: child porn, burglary, fraud, DUI embezzlement, solicitation of a minor,

1028
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 6: and human smuggling, just to name a few.

1029
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 3: So incredibly important. We talked about this yesterday.

1030
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 2: There was this pie chart that the left was trying

1031
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 2: to push out there that said only sixty percent of

1032
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 2: those arrested by ICE had any kind of criminal record. Wait,

1033
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 2: what is your argument? Forty percent didn't, so therefore ICE

1034
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 2: is wrong. It was Benjamin Winingardner wrote, sixty percent, is

1035
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 2: that supposed to be some kind of gotcha? Well, then

1036
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 2: they decided to change it around and say, well, only

1037
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 2: fourteen percent had violent crimes. What the hell does that matter?

1038
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,879
Speaker 2: They were changing and moving the goalpost, changing the focus

1039
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 2: of the conversation to take away from the fact that

1040
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 2: these people at sixty percent were engaged in level of criminality.

1041
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 2: And you just heard from Caroline Levitt there engaging the

1042
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 2: discussions of the criminality. The left cannot accept the fact

1043
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 2: that bad people have been removed from the streets and

1044
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,879
Speaker 2: people who break the law coming into the country illegally

1045
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 2: should not be allowed to stay. Not interested in whether

1046
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 2: or not people like it or not. That's it.

1047
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 3: This is what America voting for.

1048
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 2: This is exactly what should happen, and in doing so,

1049
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 2: maybe with better tactics, that is a way to win

1050
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:41,560
Speaker 2: the midterms. More to get to, including my conversation with

1051
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 2: congress Woman Aaron Houtchin. Keep it here.

1052
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 3: This is Tony Katz today.

1053
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:55,440
Speaker 1: Live from vall Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America.

1054
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today that there are still Democrats out

1055
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:01,799
Speaker 2: They're thinking that they can.

1056
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,759
Speaker 3: Say don't vote for the Save Acts.

1057
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 2: Don't vote for voter ID because it's Jim Crow two

1058
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 2: point zero. That argument is just blowing back on the

1059
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 2: progressive left in a hard way. Now, won't change the

1060
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 2: troll you see on social media. But even those who

1061
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 2: cover this daily, those people from the CNNs and the

1062
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 2: ms NOWS and the New York Times and all those

1063
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 2: other fraudsters, they recognize that trying to claim Jim Crow

1064
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,440
Speaker 2: two point zero to a voter ID, it isn't connecting

1065
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 2: with the American people. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good

1066
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 2: to be with you.

1067
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 3: Commrescewoman Aaron Houchen joins me right now.

1068
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 2: She's from the ninth District of Indiana. She sits on

1069
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 2: the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Of course, this is

1070
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 2: where the top story is and where we are with

1071
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 2: Homeland security funding. So before the Save Act, let's get

1072
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 2: to DHS what we have seen with ICE, these ten

1073
01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 2: demands that the Democrats have, Let's start where we start.

1074
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 2: Are you amongst any Republicans who believe that ICE needs

1075
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 2: some type of rethink or homeland security means some type

1076
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 2: of rebooth?

1077
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 9: Well, first, thanks for having me. I would say that

1078
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 9: one of the things that Democrats are are promoting here

1079
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 9: is that they're standing on this line to defund ICE

1080
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:27,799
Speaker 9: when all along we already funded ICE and border patrol

1081
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 9: in the One Big Beautiful Bill and the working family's

1082
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 9: tax cuts back to the tune of about one hundred

1083
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 9: and fifty billion dollars. So what they are fighting for

1084
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 9: right now is to defund TSA, Coastguard, FEMA, and other

1085
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 9: agencies under the DHS umbrella. This is largely performative from

1086
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 9: the Democrats, but they have to stand and yell about

1087
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 9: about the ICE enforcement. What I would say is, when

1088
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 9: I'm back home, people still largely support removing criminal legal

1089
01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 9: aliens from the country, and they support ICE enforcement concerned

1090
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 9: with tactics. But when we see cities like Washington, d c.

1091
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 9: And Memphis, and in states like Louisiana where where they're

1092
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 9: blue cities but they're cooperating with federal law enforcement officers,

1093
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 9: things go much more smoothly. In many cases, these are

1094
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 9: professionally paid and trained agitators that are impeding the work

1095
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 9: of law enforcement to do the job of removing very

1096
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 9: dangerous people from the country. The same Democrats didn't stand

1097
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 9: up for or speak in support of the Family of

1098
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,639
Speaker 9: Lake and Riley and other victims across the country who

1099
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 9: have been who have lost family members, American citizen family

1100
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 9: members at the hands of criminal legal aliens. Again, I

1101
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 9: would say this is largely performative. House Republicans did their jobs.

1102
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 9: We've already funded all of these programs. We're waiting for

1103
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 9: the Senate to act. I will be watching for what

1104
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 9: the White House will agree to and really leave it

1105
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,600
Speaker 9: up to the President and the Senate to negotiate on

1106
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 9: these points. At best, we want ICE enforcement to do

1107
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 9: the job of removing the violent, criminal aliens from the country,

1108
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 9: and we want to fund our government agency so that

1109
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 9: we have smooth air travel, Our Coast Guard is funded,

1110
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 9: and our FEMA funds for natural disasters are protected.

1111
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 2: I have no doubt about the performative nature of the

1112
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 2: political left. But when you say that your constituents talk

1113
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 2: to you about ICE tactics. Is this about the shootings

1114
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 2: that we saw with Renee Good and Alex Pretty Is

1115
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 2: this about how they go house to house. Is it

1116
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 2: a conversation about how they deal with the violent agitators.

1117
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 2: What do they say to you about tactics in a

1118
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 2: more specific sense, Well, I.

1119
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 9: Would say it's in a more general sense. It's like, obviously,

1120
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 9: any loss of life is tragic, and we don't want

1121
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 9: to see that in any circumstance, But so they don't. Naturally,

1122
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 9: constituents don't like to see fatalities in these engagements with

1123
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 9: law enforcement. However, they do support removing criminal aliens from

1124
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:14,480
Speaker 9: the country. They do support the president in our conversations

1125
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 9: back home. Now we do hear from people on the

1126
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 9: other side of this issue, naturally, but the district does

1127
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 9: support protecting our own American citizens, and they support law

1128
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 9: and order. They support the police, they support ICE doing

1129
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 9: the job of protecting our American communities. And I can

1130
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 9: speak firsthand just to the enforcement in Washington.

1131
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 2: D C.

1132
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 9: Only one murder in the entire city reported in January

1133
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 9: after President Trump worked with Mayor Bowser, who's a Democrat,

1134
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 9: to increase not only ICE enforcement, but a National Guard presence,

1135
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 9: and it's worked very well. We don't have protests going

1136
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:56,480
Speaker 9: on in Washington, d C. Like we see in Minnesota

1137
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 9: and other parts of the country. If local and state

1138
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 9: officials would be cooperative and provide the protective perimeter and

1139
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 9: such for these these enforcement actions, I think you would

1140
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 9: see less citizens being put at risk in the in

1141
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:20,520
Speaker 9: with the you know, professional agitators and others who are

1142
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 9: really interfering with their efforts.

1143
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 2: Talking to Congresswoman Aaron Houchin of the ninth District of Indiana, Uh,

1144
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 2: let us move. You know, we talked about DHS, and

1145
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 2: we talk about this being performative, but we still have

1146
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 2: the measure coming on Friday, the end of this two

1147
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 2: week gap. Are we going to see this in a

1148
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 2: yes or no? Are we going to see funding take

1149
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 2: place this by the end of this week or will

1150
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 2: we see the groups that you're talking about, Coast Guard

1151
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 2: and others go without dollars?

1152
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think what you'll see is probably another continuing

1153
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 9: resolution that would be My guess is that we will

1154
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 9: not have a resolution to this negotiation by the end

1155
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 9: of the week, but I think we will probably see

1156
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 9: an extension of funding through a continuing resolution for DHS.

1157
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 9: Everything else has been funded, which I think hasn't happened

1158
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 9: in like twenty years. So we actually got appropriations out

1159
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 9: of the House in individual bills for maximum transparency under

1160
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,599
Speaker 9: Republican leadership, and the Democrats, of course, are standing on

1161
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,599
Speaker 9: the DHS funding, even though Democrats in the House did

1162
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 9: vote to send it to the Senate.

1163
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 2: Let us move over to this part two, regarding the

1164
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 2: Save Act and voter ID, which has shown itself to

1165
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:44,560
Speaker 2: be if we believe polling, wildly popular, whether you're a Republican,

1166
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 2: an independent Democrat, whether you're black, whether you're white, male,

1167
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 2: or female, the idea of an ID makes perfect sense

1168
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 2: to people. And then we get Chuck Schumer, the leader

1169
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 2: of the Democrats in the Senate, amazingly still the leader

1170
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 2: of the Democrats, screaming that this is Jim Crow two

1171
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 2: point zero, that the Save Act as written is somehow

1172
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 2: different than voter ID, and that what Senator Mike Lee

1173
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 2: has proposed here is somehow a violation of Americans' rights.

1174
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 3: Where are we.

1175
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,679
Speaker 2: With this legislation and is there some level of counter

1176
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 2: that we could see the House engage to get this

1177
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 2: to the President's desk. Yes, So the.

1178
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,639
Speaker 9: Rules Committee will be meeting this afternoon to talk about

1179
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 9: the Save Act, and we will be passing that out

1180
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 9: of the Rules Committee to the House, for it defies

1181
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 9: logic that the Democrats would not support the Save Act,

1182
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 9: even though it's wildly popular among all Americans, that we

1183
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 9: would have secure elections through voter ID. Indiana was one

1184
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 9: of the first states to do voter ID. We also

1185
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 9: came back and did voter ID by mail. This is

1186
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 9: not too much to ask. Even though the National Voter

1187
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 9: Registration Act requires that your citizenship you have citizenship to vote,

1188
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 9: there's no requirement that you provide proof of citizenship or

1189
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 9: that you provide ID. Thirty six states already require voter

1190
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 9: ID to cast a ballot. Fourteen states don't have any

1191
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 9: or they have little to know safeguards. It's clear that

1192
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 9: the Democrats would love to have all mail voting. They

1193
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 9: tried to do that before nationwide, even though now they're

1194
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 9: claiming that, you know, we should not engage in passing

1195
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 9: some sort of a national standard for voter ID. We

1196
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 9: saw the same arguments in Georgia and other states when

1197
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 9: they implement a voter ID and voter ID for absinee ballots.

1198
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,760
Speaker 9: It did not come to fruition. There was not voter suppression.

1199
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 9: In fact, it's resulted in more voter participation and more

1200
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 9: satisfaction among voters in the security of the election. I

1201
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 9: cannot explain why the Democrats don't support this, It is

1202
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 9: beyond me. But it was clear when Joe Biden took

1203
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 9: office he did a couple of executive orders, one with

1204
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 9: open the southern border. Executive Order number two was to

1205
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 9: allow illegal immigrants to count in the census for congressional

1206
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 9: apportionment for the electoral college. That I think is designed

1207
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,879
Speaker 9: to grab power among the Democrats. They are just desperate

1208
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 9: to get back in control. I think so they can

1209
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 9: put their liberal wish list of items through Congress. And

1210
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 9: this is an effort to stop voter fraud and the

1211
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 9: American people supported. I hope the Democrats will will get

1212
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 9: on board and join us to secure American elections.

1213
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 2: It is always about control. Congresomen Aaron Houtchen from the

1214
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 2: ninth District of Indiana, I appreciate you taking the time

1215
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 2: to be with us more to get to you.

1216
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 3: This is Tony Cats today.

1217
01:19:56,360 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 2: It is something to see how far the Jeffrey Epstein's

1218
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 2: story spans, exactly the damage that is being done by

1219
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:13,520
Speaker 2: being connected.

1220
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 3: To him. Tony Katz. Tony Kats today and I discussed you.

1221
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,839
Speaker 2: Know, the reporting about President Trump and pay no attention

1222
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 2: to the leftists who want to scream Trump's supporting pedophiles,

1223
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 2: Trump's protecting pedophiles. Trump is a pedophile. These dumb progressives,

1224
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 2: they don't care how they lie, they don't care how

1225
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 2: they manipulate, they don't care the story they tell. The

1226
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 2: objective is power, and it's really important for us, the

1227
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 2: rational people, regardless of whether you're conservative or Republican, or

1228
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 2: independent or modern or nothing. You got to ignore that stuff.

1229
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 2: These people are liars. Their work was filthy, disgusting, frauds.

1230
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 2: This is not whether or not you like every policy

1231
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 2: of Trump, but the very idea of Trump pedophile. It's

1232
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,799
Speaker 2: so messed up and so deluded, but it is exactly

1233
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,600
Speaker 2: what progressives say because they don't have to concern themselves

1234
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,759
Speaker 2: with being truthful. All they have to do is concern

1235
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 2: themselves with putting a story out there, letting it go

1236
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 2: amongst the chattering classes in social media, and then forgetting

1237
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 2: they ever said it. To begin with. They purposefully never

1238
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 2: looked at Joe Biden, or never spoke about Joe Biden,

1239
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 2: or never questioned Joe Biden's capability. All they said is

1240
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 2: look at what the political right is saying, ha ha.

1241
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 2: And then after the election they have the audacity, like

1242
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 2: Jake Tapper to write books and say, my gosh, Joe

1243
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 2: Biden wasn't okay. This was a real issue. Hmm.

1244
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 3: Don't buy into these people. Don't believe these people.

1245
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,640
Speaker 2: And of course we know the story that as we

1246
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 2: see more of the Epstein files come out that President

1247
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 2: Trump in the two thousands had told the FBI or

1248
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 2: you know, he reached out to the FBI to say,

1249
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 2: thank goodness, you're stopping him. Going back to comments he

1250
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 2: made in two thousand and six talking about how dangerous

1251
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 2: Epstein was, that you know that he threw Epstein out

1252
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:14,799
Speaker 2: of his club, talking about how Ebstein was disgusting, saying

1253
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 2: of Julaane Maxwell, Epstein's operative, she is evil and to

1254
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 2: focus on her and quote Trump told the police chief

1255
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 2: that he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present,

1256
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 2: and Trump quote got the hell out of there unquote.

1257
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 2: There's just no conversation that exists about Trump being involved

1258
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 2: with children, which, as we've said here, not his style.

1259
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 2: And the slightest Trump did Trump was not that guy.

1260
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:50,759
Speaker 2: Let's be clear. Trump got around and Trump did well.

1261
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 2: Trump could pull, Okay, can I say it like that

1262
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 2: Trump could pull. And for the record, the women of

1263
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:04,679
Speaker 2: New York would have lie for the opportunity to go second. Now,

1264
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 2: some people are going to be offended by that commentary.

1265
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 2: But it's true, and the women of New York know

1266
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 2: that that's true, So we don't have to pretend like

1267
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 2: I said anything out of the realm. Women would have

1268
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 2: slept with Donald Trump and then gone to their friends

1269
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 2: and said, you will not believe what I just did.

1270
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 2: They would have bragged about it, and their cucked husbands

1271
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 2: would have bragged about it too. Oh. I don't think

1272
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 2: I am not a believer in rewriting history at all.

1273
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to offend making sure we understand it

1274
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 2: exactly as it is, and exactly as it is is

1275
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 2: that Trump was not involved with kids. There's done a

1276
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 2: single ounce of proof of it, and every day the

1277
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 2: political left engages a disgusting story for the sake of

1278
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 2: political destruction, which tells us how little the left actually

1279
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 2: cares about children. Between not caring about going after those

1280
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 2: people who abuse children, sexually exploited children, traffic children, between

1281
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 2: what they do with quote unquote gender affirming care and

1282
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 2: children being mutilated, and they don't care.

1283
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 3: They don't care about kids at all.

1284
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 2: I am happy to see that there are now one

1285
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 2: or two people on the political left there is a

1286
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 2: conversation about doing away with the statute of limitations on

1287
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 2: sex trafficking. I don't know if there is a legal

1288
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 2: conversation about why we have a statute of limitations and

1289
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 2: purposefulness therein. But on its face, why would we ever

1290
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 2: have a statute of limitations on sex trafficking? Which I

1291
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 2: guess could lead to one hundred of other conversations about

1292
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 2: what we have statutes of limitations on. But I was

1293
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 2: discussing the reach conversation, the idea of how much these

1294
01:24:55,360 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 2: Epstein files have created so many for so many people. Now,

1295
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 2: let's start where we start, which is we all have

1296
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 2: to admit that President Trump handled this wrong, and it

1297
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:14,600
Speaker 2: was a rare miss from the president, and the administration

1298
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 2: has handled it wrong.

1299
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 3: And Bondie really handled it wrong.

1300
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:21,560
Speaker 2: Going back to the binders she gave to the influencers,

1301
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 2: all terrible.

1302
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 3: When Trump said, why are we paying attention to this?

1303
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 3: He was wrong.

1304
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 2: And I'm happy to see more and more stuff getting out,

1305
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:33,639
Speaker 2: more and more information getting to people. If victims want

1306
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 2: to name names, they have to deal with the consequences

1307
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 2: of that.

1308
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 3: Elon Musk has said.

1309
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 2: That he would support any he would take care of

1310
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 2: any legal fee that these women have to deal with.

1311
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 2: It's up to them, But I am in favor of

1312
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 2: the information getting out so those who are involved with

1313
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 2: abusing children can be brought to justice, which is everything

1314
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 2: we've ever wanted. But one of the places this has

1315
01:25:55,840 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 2: has reached is Keure Starmer. The chief of staff to

1316
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 2: Keir Starmer, a guy why named Morgan McSweeney resigned. Now

1317
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 2: why does this why does this matter? Why does this

1318
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 2: lead to a story of UK Starmer is in danger

1319
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 2: of becoming first leader to fall in the Epstein scandal.

1320
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,719
Speaker 2: That is the headline over at the Wall Street Journal.

1321
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 2: Now Starmer is incredibly unpopular, and he's incredibly unpopular because

1322
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 2: anytime you vote for labor, anytime you vote for leftists,

1323
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 2: you're getting a disaster. Unfettered immigration, a support of eliminating

1324
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 2: free speech, of jailing people for what.

1325
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 3: They say on social media.

1326
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 2: It is madness. This is about the Epstein files and

1327
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,440
Speaker 2: the revelation that Starmer's picked to be the British ambassador

1328
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 2: a guy by named Peter Mandelsson was very entwined with Epstein.

1329
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 2: Mandolsson has quit the House of Lords, which is the

1330
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 2: British Parliament's upper chamber. There's a police investigation into whether

1331
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 2: he shared market sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein.

1332
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 3: Now labor lawmakers.

1333
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 2: Threatened to use it to drum him out and to

1334
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:23,560
Speaker 2: help try and bring down the temperature. That caused Starmer

1335
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 2: to fire his chief of staff, who was a protege

1336
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 2: dice pronounced I write protege, not protege protege.

1337
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 3: Sorry about that of Mandelssen's.

1338
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 2: Who took the blame for advising Starmer to hire Mandelssohn.

1339
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 2: To begin with, that's a lot of degrees of separation.

1340
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 2: Mandelssohn was involved with Epstein, Starmer hired Mandelson. May or

1341
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 2: may not have known all of the things. May or

1342
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 2: may not have asked questions about all the things. And

1343
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 2: I don't know if necessarily that is in and of

1344
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:57,680
Speaker 2: itself disqualifying.

1345
01:27:58,000 --> 01:27:59,679
Speaker 3: But the Epstein connection got.

1346
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 2: So great that he had to fire somebody who told

1347
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 2: him to hire Mandelsson. Wow, that's exactly the response I had, Like,

1348
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:13,599
Speaker 2: that's a that's a real bit of pressure. I have

1349
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 2: to do something to make the bleeding stop.

1350
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 3: That's a real something.

1351
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 2: Now, the head of communications for Downing Street right ten

1352
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 2: Downing Street, which is the home of the Prime Minister.

1353
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 2: So the Prime Minister's.

1354
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 3: Office quit the fourth person to hold the job.

1355
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 2: In the past year, and then the head of the

1356
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 2: Scottish Labor Party has called on Starmer to step down

1357
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 2: because quote, the distraction needs to end. Oh mine.

1358
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 3: Now this could just be.

1359
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 2: A reason for a pylon because Starmar is so unpopular anyway.

1360
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:54,320
Speaker 2: But if it happens now you have to take a

1361
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:57,639
Speaker 2: look at leaders who had connections to Starmer and see

1362
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,920
Speaker 2: what their governments do, because they're going to react to

1363
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,600
Speaker 2: the people who are going to want we can't have

1364
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:07,560
Speaker 2: somebody connected to this pedophile and sex trafficker Ebstein. Absolutely

1365
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:14,719
Speaker 2: not other foreign leaders about to see heads roll. Let's watch,

1366
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 2: shall we Trump won't be one of them, though that

1367
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 2: much is obvious. This is Tony Kats today. So everybody

1368
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 2: wants to say this economy is going great, except for

1369
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 2: all the people who want to say this economy is

1370
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:39,000
Speaker 2: going terrible. As always, it's a political conversation to which

1371
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 2: we have no interest what is actually happening. Scott Bessant,

1372
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 2: who is doing the job, the exact job we said

1373
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,880
Speaker 2: he should do, get out there and say here's what

1374
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:51,680
Speaker 2: the Trump economy is doing. Here's what's growing, here's what's

1375
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 2: getting better, here's what's to look for and here is

1376
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 2: why it's working. This is going to make a huge

1377
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 2: difference in the midterms. He's now doing this, but he's

1378
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 2: getting into conversations how inflation is two point one percent,

1379
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:06,599
Speaker 2: which well, I don't think it's two point one percent

1380
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:08,840
Speaker 2: unless something shifted.

1381
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:10,400
Speaker 3: And there is a measure that we should be paying

1382
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:11,120
Speaker 3: attention to.

1383
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:14,120
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be here, Good

1384
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 2: to be with you. Doctor Mattwill joined us right now

1385
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 2: economists at the University of Indianapolis. I want to get

1386
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 2: to the inflation number. Let's start with what we're seeing.

1387
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 2: This was CNBC with the reporting that you have a

1388
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:39,719
Speaker 2: very very disappointing holiday sales number. December retail sales were flat,

1389
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 2: falling well short of the estimate. Now, not everything means

1390
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 2: what a headline means. And we saw from holiday sales

1391
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 2: that people were buying luxury goods and were not buying

1392
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 2: the other goods. So they may have spent more money

1393
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 2: on the one specific item, but it didn't mean they

1394
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 2: were spending more money on overall. It probably meant they

1395
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 2: were spending less money overall. And this is therefore not surprising.

1396
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 2: But you take a look at this report on holiday

1397
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:08,599
Speaker 2: sales and where it says sales were flat in December

1398
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 2: following a point six percent increase in November. Economists with

1399
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 2: the Dow Jones Survey expected a point four percent increase

1400
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 2: for December. What does this story tell you.

1401
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 10: Well, you know, you've been saying a lot recently about

1402
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 10: there's a lot of confusing economic data.

1403
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 3: We welcome to the mix.

1404
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 10: This is another piece because it contradicts a lot of

1405
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 10: what we've already seen far as far as positive GDP numbers.

1406
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 10: When you break down the GDP, so, yeah, it's flat.

1407
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:38,559
Speaker 10: We were at seven hundred and thirty five billion dollars

1408
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 10: of sales retail sales in November, and we were at

1409
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,839
Speaker 10: seven hundred and thirty five billion dollars of retail sales

1410
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 10: in December. But what's even worse about this is the core.

1411
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,679
Speaker 10: So you're you know, we talk about the core, remove

1412
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 10: energy and housing and you end up at a negative zero

1413
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,840
Speaker 10: point one percent. And so if you think expectations were,

1414
01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 10: you know, higher point four, like you mentioned, we're half

1415
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 10: a sent below expectations. This indicates a slowing of the economy.

1416
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,040
Speaker 10: And remember we bragged about that. The Atlanta Fed said

1417
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:11,760
Speaker 10: the GDP forecast is up above five percent. They're going

1418
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 10: to revise that this week. I bet you it comes

1419
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:17,720
Speaker 10: down below five percent. This is two thirds of the

1420
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 10: economy is consumer spending. So when the core declines and shrinks,

1421
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 10: that's not a good sign.

1422
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 2: First things first, let's make sure we define core. How

1423
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 2: do you define core for everybody?

1424
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 10: Remove energy, remove housing, remove transportation.

1425
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 3: Now, the.

1426
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:43,680
Speaker 2: One month of December is not necessarily indicative of the

1427
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,679
Speaker 2: entirety of an economy. It could have been a whole

1428
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 2: host of reasons why this holiday season didn't see the spending.

1429
01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 2: People waiting to spend their money on other things, thinking

1430
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 2: that things will turn around in six months and I

1431
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:00,759
Speaker 2: have a better opportunity in Trump's economy, or it says,

1432
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:04,800
Speaker 2: my gosh, this is the end of times. So is

1433
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 2: it right to read this one report as or this

1434
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 2: one month as yep, it's all over, it's all terrible. No,

1435
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:12,320
Speaker 2: not at all.

1436
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 10: And by the way, I forgot to food also, foods

1437
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 10: removed from the core.

1438
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 2: So no, actually the opposite.

1439
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 10: I think it's a one piece of data that contradicts

1440
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 10: other data that we've gotten. So I want to wait

1441
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 10: and see. People should not overreact. In fact, the market.

1442
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:30,360
Speaker 10: Let me tell you how much it didn't overreact. The

1443
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 10: market actually went up. Yeah, And in fact, here's how

1444
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 10: much it didn't overreact. The Wall Street Journal didn't even

1445
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 10: put it on the front page of its daily webcast.

1446
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 2: And this is where it gets This.

1447
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 3: Is where I think it gets people nuts.

1448
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 2: Tony Katz here along with Dr Matt Will, economists at

1449
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 2: the University of Indianapolis. The Dow continued to rise. You know,

1450
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 2: we haven't even mentioned the fact that we are over

1451
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 2: dow fifty k. I mean, that's an outstanding and insane number.

1452
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 2: Was up, I think when you're near two hundred points

1453
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 2: at one time today, and who knows where it's going to,

1454
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 2: where it's going to end.

1455
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:08,160
Speaker 3: But there really seems to be nothing.

1456
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:12,519
Speaker 2: Even when there's some kind of jarring moment that takes place,

1457
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:14,640
Speaker 2: like bitcoin going from one hundred and twenty six to

1458
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,519
Speaker 2: sixty two thousand, everyone's like, oh my gosh, what's happening.

1459
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 2: Everything just works itself back up. We saw a silver

1460
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 2: go from one hundred and twenty dollars an ounce to

1461
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 2: sixty four dollars an ounce back up to eighty some

1462
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 2: odd dollars an ounce. Nothing seems to rattle anybody. Everything

1463
01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 2: seems to be moving ahead. Tariffs are no tariffs, et cetera.

1464
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 2: Are we all paying way too much attention to the market.

1465
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 10: No, no, no, I think we should pay more attention

1466
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:43,799
Speaker 10: to the market because the market's up for two reasons today.

1467
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:47,160
Speaker 10: One is, treasury yields are damn so the Kevin Wars

1468
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 10: trade is legitimate. Everybody believes, Okay, this guy's gonna get confirmed.

1469
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 10: Treasury rates are gonna get cut. So this is this

1470
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 10: is good. Second thing, earnings. You can't deny earnings. Taiwan

1471
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 10: Semiconductor had their best month in the history of their

1472
01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:05,960
Speaker 10: company last month. Gucci, a luxury brand. They saw profits up.

1473
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 10: Spotify profits up, by the way, because they're using AI

1474
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 10: instead of on air talent. But let's move along. Coca Cola,

1475
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 10: that stuff a little bit today, but they're up twenty

1476
01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:20,759
Speaker 10: three percent for the year. That's not normal for Coca Cola.

1477
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 10: I mean, this is a commodity, this is a basic,

1478
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 10: you know, staple of your home. And Barkley's. Barkley's increased

1479
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,639
Speaker 10: their forecast by five percent for the year. Tony, it's raining.

1480
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 10: Good news, and so the market's up. So the retail

1481
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 10: I want to sit tight. I want to see what

1482
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 10: happens next month. But it is consistent with the anecdotal

1483
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 10: stuff you've talked about about. You know, people aren't quite

1484
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 10: as active as they.

1485
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:46,200
Speaker 2: Were talking to doctor Matt Weell, economists at the University

1486
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:49,000
Speaker 2: of Indianapolis, and trust me, when people are using AI

1487
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,240
Speaker 2: for their content creation doesn't make me happy at all.

1488
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:55,320
Speaker 2: It's it's a it's a legit serious issue for those

1489
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 2: of us who are in content creation. But you talk

1490
01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 2: about these groups being up and certainly Coca Cola being

1491
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:04,920
Speaker 2: up twenty three percent, Let's break that down a little bit.

1492
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:07,920
Speaker 2: What was what did what did we expect or what

1493
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 2: was the thought there that the average would be? And

1494
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:12,720
Speaker 2: when you see what I would call a blue chip

1495
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 2: maybe it's not officially a blue chet, it is a

1496
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 2: blue chef like Coca Cola being up twenty three percent.

1497
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,839
Speaker 2: What does that say to economists like yourself.

1498
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:24,720
Speaker 10: It's pretty fascinating because Coca Cola is one of those

1499
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 10: regular stable five percent six percent per year growth plus

1500
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 10: they pay a decent dividend, very predictable. But this year

1501
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:36,360
Speaker 10: what happened with them is they have pricing power. That

1502
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 10: is one of those additional confusion points. They had the

1503
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 10: ability to significantly increase their price. They didn't increase their sales.

1504
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:47,479
Speaker 10: It was a normal increase in sales. But they were

1505
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 10: able to have pricing power not just because of inflation,

1506
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 10: but because the consumer was willing to pay it. That

1507
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 10: is very unusual, which means the consumer is spending money,

1508
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 10: which contradicts the darn retail sales data.

1509
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to stop you right there. Chipotle just came

1510
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:09,840
Speaker 2: out and said our plan for slumping sales is we

1511
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:13,640
Speaker 2: don't care about poor people. If you're poor, don't be

1512
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 2: buying our burritos. No extra guacam only for you, our

1513
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 2: average customer. We want being at one hundred thousand dollars

1514
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 2: a year or more they can afford what we offer.

1515
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:27,639
Speaker 2: We're going to address them aggressively. We want the people

1516
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:31,440
Speaker 2: who are willing to spend more. So Coca Cola, Chipotle,

1517
01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 2: all of them have said, embrace the higher price than

1518
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:35,760
Speaker 2: Americans said.

1519
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:38,879
Speaker 3: Sounds good, Okay, Chipotle put them aside.

1520
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 10: Okay, let's talk about Coca cola, because that's a product

1521
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,559
Speaker 10: that everybody purchases. So Coca Cola, which I believe is

1522
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 10: a very good bell Weather indicator of.

1523
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 2: How the economy is.

1524
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:52,920
Speaker 10: They are saying even people on the lower income bracket

1525
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:56,679
Speaker 10: can afford an increase in the price. That's a very

1526
01:37:56,800 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 10: dramatic statement. Now, is this because of leftover OVID money.

1527
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:02,720
Speaker 10: I don't know if that's the case, because there's still

1528
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:05,240
Speaker 10: a bunch of cash out there. I think it could

1529
01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 10: be because of overall good news rising of the economy.

1530
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:12,360
Speaker 10: The ship is going up, so you know, rising tide

1531
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:14,720
Speaker 10: lifts all ships. I think that's what we're seeing here,

1532
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 10: at least that's what Coca Cola is telling us, and

1533
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 10: I do trust them more than a lot of other companies.

1534
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 2: This plays into a conversation that Scott Bessons was having

1535
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 2: with Maria Bartiromo on on Fox Business. It is a

1536
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:35,040
Speaker 2: conversation that I said he should be having. We have

1537
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 2: discussed this that he has to be proactive in talking

1538
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 2: about what is happening in this Trump economy and how

1539
01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 2: things are working.

1540
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 3: This was Scott Bessons just the other day.

1541
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:51,519
Speaker 5: Trump economy is delivering for the American people that we

1542
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:55,559
Speaker 5: have strong growth and inflation is in fact coming down.

1543
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 5: For the past three months, inflation is two point one

1544
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 5: percent to the Federal Reserves target and a measure called trueflation,

1545
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 5: which is daily observations now is below one percent, So

1546
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 5: inflation down, strong growth, stocks at a record high, and

1547
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 5: the low crime rate in over one hundred years.

1548
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:21,840
Speaker 2: Tim, Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about low crime rates.

1549
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:26,160
Speaker 2: But I think the largest scale conversation here is this

1550
01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:30,680
Speaker 2: idea of two point one and below one percent. First,

1551
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 2: what is he talking about regarding trueflation?

1552
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:36,520
Speaker 10: You know, I think he may be a little bit confused,

1553
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 10: you know, maybe like even when you and I talk

1554
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 10: sometimes I may miss my data point of my reference.

1555
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 10: I think he's referring to the National Bureau of Economic Report.

1556
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:46,480
Speaker 2: There was a paper.

1557
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:49,479
Speaker 10: Written recently by some folks from MIT that talked about

1558
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:53,880
Speaker 10: the inflation figure, this ongoing constant, which I guess maybe

1559
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:57,839
Speaker 10: he's calling true inflation, And they said it wasn't inflation,

1560
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:01,680
Speaker 10: it was a decrease in purchasing power. They referred to

1561
01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:04,759
Speaker 10: it as point seven percent or two point one percent

1562
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 10: for three months. I think that's what he's referring to.

1563
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,800
Speaker 10: And what they said is the tariffs have caused a

1564
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:14,560
Speaker 10: zero point seven percent decrease in real wages, which you

1565
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,680
Speaker 10: could think of as okay inflation. I think that's what

1566
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 10: he's referring to. But I got to tell you that's

1567
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 10: an obscure number to pluck out of thin air. When

1568
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 10: this month, this week, this week, we're going to have

1569
01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 10: the inflation report, and the current expectation is roll the

1570
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 10: drums point three. That's going to be a three point

1571
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:38,519
Speaker 10: six percent for the year if that comes in as expected.

1572
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:42,720
Speaker 10: So the expectation is inflation's here, but let's wait and

1573
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:43,799
Speaker 10: see what the report says.

1574
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 3: And this is where it gets more peculiar.

1575
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,720
Speaker 2: And we've talked about it as a sticking point that

1576
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:53,200
Speaker 2: I don't think he should say inflation's at two point

1577
01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 2: one when it's not a two point one. When, as

1578
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 2: you're describing it, doctor Will, there's really good economic news

1579
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:02,839
Speaker 2: is out there. Things are moving in a right direction

1580
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 2: that can eventually bring this inflation down.

1581
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:07,200
Speaker 3: And one of those.

1582
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:09,679
Speaker 2: Things, as you discussed it, I think it was last week,

1583
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:13,880
Speaker 2: maybe this the week before, we saw an uptick in manufacturing. Yes,

1584
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:17,080
Speaker 2: the manufacturing number showed an up. Now I don't know

1585
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:21,120
Speaker 2: when the next manufacturing report comes out, but look at you.

1586
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:22,720
Speaker 2: He's going right to it.

1587
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:25,200
Speaker 3: He's going right to his all his data to make

1588
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 3: sure he's got it for us.

1589
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 2: How what kind of things can we be looking for,

1590
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:33,639
Speaker 2: because we if earnings reports are good, which is certainly

1591
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:35,639
Speaker 2: is going to help people's for one ks and other things.

1592
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:39,680
Speaker 2: If spending is down, that could be something that is

1593
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 2: temporary because it's spending in one category and not necessarily

1594
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 2: talking about the spending that we're seeing in some other categories.

1595
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 2: It manufacturing goes up for three months in a row,

1596
01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 2: what does that signal to Wall Street? And how do

1597
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 2: we feel it on Midwest Main Street.

1598
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 10: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna take your question, twist it

1599
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 10: all around and say these guys are missing the boat

1600
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:02,760
Speaker 10: of an opportunity. You've talked about some of the great

1601
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 10: things that are happening, but they're lying to the public

1602
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 10: about inflation. The ISM Report, by the way, comes out

1603
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 10: the first of every month, and the ISM Report, after

1604
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 10: ten months of declining, manufacturing went up dramatically fifty two

1605
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:20,600
Speaker 10: point six. That is a huge increase in manufacturing. It

1606
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 10: was shrinking at forty seven anything below fifties break even.

1607
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:30,639
Speaker 10: New orders were up, production was up, Supplier deliveries were up.

1608
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:34,480
Speaker 10: These are things that had been declining for ten months.

1609
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 10: Backlog of orders. Finally, there's a backlog of orders. That

1610
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 10: is a good thing when companies can't even make enough

1611
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 10: stuff to fill the orders. And new orders were new

1612
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 10: orders up, backlog of orders up. But guess what else

1613
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 10: was up? Prices? Prices were at the highest level we've

1614
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 10: seen in the last year, and they were trending up

1615
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:56,920
Speaker 10: for sixteen months in a row.

1616
01:42:57,040 --> 01:43:00,920
Speaker 2: Now, wait, is that a tariff conversation or is that

1617
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 2: learning from Coca Cola and Chipotle that they.

1618
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 10: Can That's a terr off conversation because this is manufacturers.

1619
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:11,600
Speaker 10: So manufacturers' costs have been up for sixteen months in

1620
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:14,120
Speaker 10: a row, and this was the largest one month increase

1621
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 10: we've seen since the you know, the Liberation Day back

1622
01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 10: in April. Besson has to be honest with people and say,

1623
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:23,879
Speaker 10: there's all these great things in manufacturing, orders and production,

1624
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 10: but we've still got the battle inflation. I think people

1625
01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:30,559
Speaker 10: aren't stupid. I think they know there's still inflation out

1626
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 10: there and we see it in the retail numbers. I

1627
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 10: think that's why the retail numbers in December were down

1628
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 10: because of inflation.

1629
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:41,320
Speaker 2: Doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis. I

1630
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:43,559
Speaker 2: appreciate you taking the time to be with us. More

1631
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:47,000
Speaker 2: is coming up on Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today.

1632
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:51,440
Speaker 11: When we did the story, we did it after the midterms.

1633
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,560
Speaker 11: I argued against that because it was ready before the midterms,

1634
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:57,400
Speaker 11: and my training is that you should always do the

1635
01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 11: story when it's ready to go. You should not be

1636
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:04,439
Speaker 11: dictated by the political cycle. Once we got the laptop

1637
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:08,080
Speaker 11: story on the Morning News, I felt that there was

1638
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:09,880
Speaker 11: so much there that.

1639
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:10,599
Speaker 3: We could still do.

1640
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:17,720
Speaker 11: For example, in the text messages, there's unfortunately the use

1641
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 11: of the word, the liberal use of the N word,

1642
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 11: and I thought this was worthy of a story, but

1643
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:26,440
Speaker 11: I was told that it was not something that interested

1644
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:27,679
Speaker 11: CBS News.

1645
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 2: That's Katain Herridge saying that CBS had the story because

1646
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:38,120
Speaker 2: Catherine Herridge had the story regarding the Hunter Biden laptop

1647
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 2: and she was told she could not share that story

1648
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:45,600
Speaker 2: until after the twenty twenty two midterms to help the

1649
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:46,479
Speaker 2: Democratic Party.

1650
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 3: And people are upset with Barry Weiss. Of course they are,

1651
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:54,400
Speaker 3: because the left absolutely loves this. They want to.

1652
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 2: Control media and control narrative, control stories, do not allow

1653
01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,920
Speaker 2: the truth to be out because they want power over

1654
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 2: anything and they don't care what they do to get it.

1655
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:10,640
Speaker 2: It is an incredible revelation. The problem is you absolutely

1656
01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:13,160
Speaker 2: believed it before you even heard it. I don't know,

1657
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 2: is that a problem or is that just sad? I

1658
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 2: don't know which way we would look at it. But

1659
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:23,559
Speaker 2: when these news organizations like ms now or CNN, or

1660
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:27,479
Speaker 2: The Times or the Washington Post, and they want our fealty,

1661
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 2: they want us to buy in, they want us to believe. No, no,

1662
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 2: we're right not to believe them. We are proper not

1663
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:37,720
Speaker 2: to believe them. And I'm going to continue going on

1664
01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:41,240
Speaker 2: not believing them at first blush. They're never getting that

1665
01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:45,360
Speaker 2: credibility back. Find everything at Tony Katz dot com tomorrow. Everyone,

1666
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 2: take care
