And so you have 17 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: like an extra cane laying about. Well, it's gonna be fascinating. 18 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: So Democrats are weighing all of it, boycott's, walkouts and 19 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 3: competing rallies. So the President of the United States is 20 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: delivering the State of the Union as. 21 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: Prescribed by the Constitution. Agreed, it doesn't have to be 22 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: the way we do it. 23 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 3: It wouldn't have to be something with all the pomp 24 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 3: and circumstance, it could be a one page letter, Hey guys, 25 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 3: everything is great, signed Donnie. 26 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 2: And that would be enough that you understand that how 27 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: we do the State of the Union is stagecraft. It 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: was never meant to be this, and we should be clear. 29 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: It can be this, but it doesn't have to be this, 30 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: not in the slightest the The State of Union can 31 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: just be a letter written, you know, in crayon. 32 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 3: Everything's cool, have a good day, signed President of the 33 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: United States. 34 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: That's it. 35 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: That's all that has to be done. But Democrats, some 36 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 3: of them might skip the event altogether. Others might leave 37 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: in protest in mid speech. According to Representative Jared Hoffman 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: of California, the only question for me is which of 39 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: his disgusting lines prompts me to get up and leave, 40 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: because at some point I will. It doesn't matter what 41 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 3: line you already said you're gonna do. It doesn't matter 42 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: whichever one you decide, whatever thing you decide, because you 43 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 3: can't actually sit there because you have to. You have 44 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: to act out against Donald Trump because. 45 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: After all that that's the whole party. 46 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: The whole party either none, there's no policy conversation, there's 47 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: no real disagreement that they can engage. 48 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: Rather, it's all emotion all the time. 49 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: Ten there's nothing else. So I'm not sure how they're 50 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: going to do this. I'm not sure what they're going 51 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 3: to do. All I know is I'm scheduled to be there. 52 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 3: I was invited by Senator Todd Young. I'm going to 53 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: be in the Gallo ticket. My my plane ticket's already purchased. 54 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: Still to get a hotel. I didn't know where I 55 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: wanted to be yet. And the only thing I have 56 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 3: to figure out is when when you're in the gallery, 57 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: you know, right you're up there, you can't take your 58 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 3: phone with you. You you you leave that somewhere right, 59 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: there's the whole system for that. I don't know if 60 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: I can bring my lighter and cutter to have a 61 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: cigar afterwards, So I don't know how. 62 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: To do that. I don't know how to put that 63 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: one together yet. 64 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: So I have to figure that one out because because 65 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: nothing would make me happier than have a cigar and 66 00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: the Capitol steps. I don't even know if that's a 67 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: life out, but worth a shot, totally worth trying. 68 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: So while they are thinking about, you. 69 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: Know what kind of signs they're going to use and 70 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: what kind of nonsense protests they're going to use, because again, 71 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 3: everything is about the sloganeering. Everything is about the emoji 72 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 3: slogan earing. This is how they talk. There's no actual debate, 73 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: there's no hey, we disagree in here is why. There 74 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: is only how can we attack? How can we kill? 75 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: How can we destroy? How can we maim? How can 76 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: we ruin? Again and again over and over and over. Right, 77 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: there's no engagement. 78 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: On the facts at all. But I wanted to share 79 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: with you another story. 80 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: This was Abby Phillip over at CNN, just to prove 81 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: a point. 82 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 2: And the point is that. 83 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: The rallying around that you see is just proof of 84 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: how corrupt the media is. And you saved me, Tony. 85 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: That's a pretty stock line. Also, Tony, do you have 86 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: a cold? I don't know if it's a cold or 87 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: if it's allergy. So it's not your radio, it's not 88 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 3: your live stream. 89 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: It's me. 90 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: And let me tell you, doing a live stream while 91 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 3: your nose is running a not. 92 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 2: An attractive look. It really is it? You look like, 93 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: my god, it's Tony doing an hunder Biden impression. What's 94 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 2: happening here? It's I think it's allergies. That's what I 95 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: think it is. 96 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 3: We saw how poorly representative Acossio Cortez performed at the 97 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: Munich Security Conference. 98 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: She was a mess. She could not answer about Taiwan. 99 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: She could not answer. 100 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 3: About you know, she was trying to go after Marco 101 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 3: Rubio for his speech. She didn't know her or where 102 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 3: the last name Cortes comes from. She didn't know about 103 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: horses coming to the United States. She's trying to mock him, 104 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 3: and she fails miserably because she has. 105 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: No what's the word, She has no mind. 106 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: She claims that she did prep for this. This is 107 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: what you're like with prep. What did Joe Biden prep 108 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: you for this? Remember he was prepping for the debate 109 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 3: with Trump. Oh gosh, so much prep. He's taking this 110 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 3: so seriously, he's doing so much prep. You mean you 111 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: got him to stay awake for an hour and a half. 112 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: Let's talk about what we mean by prep. 113 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: She was. 114 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: She was a disaster and complaining to New York Times 115 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: that her message against authoritarianism didn't come through. Oh no, no, 116 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 3: it came through, except it was a message for authoritarianism, 117 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 3: and you're the authoritarian. We got it, we understood it. 118 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: We're fully aware the kind of person that you are. 119 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: You want to control speech, you want to control dollars. 120 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: You're probably thrilled. That's on Momdannie. He's raising taxes in 121 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: New York. They're going to ten percent property tax increase. 122 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: Never mind, they're going to go after pensions to balance 123 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: the budget. They don't reduce spending, no, no, no, they just 124 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 3: take more money. But hey, New York, you voted for this, 125 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: You suffer. What do you want from me? Oh, some 126 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: of you didn't vote for him, that's true, But I 127 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: don't know what to tell you. I'm not gonna get 128 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: bent out of shape for what's happening in New York. 129 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: Leave and so we're clear because I've said this before. 130 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 3: You know, who are the first two companies that have 131 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 3: to leave New York? Fox and Newsmax. What are you doing? 132 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: Why in the world are you in New York? There's 133 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: no reason for it. What you have a couple of 134 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: hosts who live in New Jersey and they refuse to leave. 135 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 3: You'll find other hosts and they'll all move. So let's 136 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: not kid ourselves. Why are you still there? Why are 137 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: you still pumping money into this city? Walk away? 138 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: New York is the capital of the world, so you 139 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: need to be there to do media. 140 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: Everybody is connected via zoom or some kind of video link. 141 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: I'm streaming via I use stream yard. Go ahay, it's 142 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: right there. 143 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 3: I'm in my home, connected to my station, connected to 144 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: stations all. 145 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 2: Across the country. You need to be in New York. 146 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: Stop it, stop it. I think you're doing the shareholders 147 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 3: an incredible disservice by being in New York. I think 148 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 3: you're crazy. I think you're putting your staff at risk. 149 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 3: Not the high profile guys you might have security, but 150 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 3: everybody who makes them look good on camera. You're crazy 151 00:08:51,679 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: for staying in New York. But Acasio Cortes, she did poorly, 152 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: very poorly. And here comes Abby Phillip to her defense. 153 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: Abby Phillip hosts the show on CNN, which has become 154 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 3: more and more unwatchable. 155 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how much Scott. 156 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: Jennings crushes or now, what's his name, the mister wonderful guy, 157 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: Kevin O'Leary. 158 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: Is that his name? 159 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: By the way, to me, mister wonderful will always be 160 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 3: Paul Orndorff. Oh yeah, you didn't know. Tony had a 161 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 3: little bit of the wrestling in him. Yeah, well, when 162 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: you were raised on Georgia Championship Wrestling and Gordon Soley, 163 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: you remember a couple of things, Yes, you. 164 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: Do, and here she is. 165 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 3: Never mind that Alexandria Cossio Cortez did so poorly at 166 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 3: the Munich Security Conference. 167 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: Oh what about Trump? 168 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: A club for AOC, But the question is also what 169 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: happens when and the president, the actual president of the 170 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 4: United States, does very similar things on the world stage. 171 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 5: So look, I'll give you that. 172 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 4: AOC probably should have been more ready for that question. 173 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 4: But are we going to really pretend that the actual 174 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 4: president of the United States has not made similar or 175 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 4: perhaps worse clubs on the global state? Bad answers, bad answers. 176 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 4: What do you think should happen to Donald Trump? 177 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 5: Well as a result of his BADNOC word salad? 178 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 6: Do? 179 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 4: What about what Donald Trump in twenty twenty four said, 180 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 4: I think Taiwan should pay. 181 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: Us for defective for you, John Barry Sean. 182 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 4: Hey, I'm just asking for you all to apply the 183 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 4: same scenario. 184 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: I think he makes mistakes present. 185 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: I cracked up that Joe Biden when he made me. 186 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: Now let's take a moment here, because first you have 187 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 3: to apply the same standard to Trump that you do AOC. 188 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: It's not right to say these things about Representative Costio Cortes. 189 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 3: No one from CNN gets to tell us about applying 190 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 3: standards the presidents of the United States when you would 191 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: not admit that Joe Biden was not compastmentus, that he 192 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 3: was not capable of understanding his own mind, that he 193 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 3: was wandering around in France, that he needed the Easter 194 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: Bunny to direct him to the stage, that Joe Biden 195 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: had to run cabinet meeting because he could not. 196 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: And now you want to lecture to us about Trump. 197 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 3: Oh, honey, honey, are you out of your skull? 198 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: Are you out of your mind? 199 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 3: We're laughing at you.

That's over. It's over, 216 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: doesn't matter. You actually want to say to us, what 217 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: about Trump? For four years? We said, are is. 218 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: Anybody looking at Joe Biden? Is anybody paying attention to 219 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 2: what they're saying over here? 220 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: Is anybody going to notice that this guy is not okay? 221 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: Because this guy is not okay? 222 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: And even after the debate, you weren't gonna notice. After 223 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 3: his time in France, you weren't going to notice, after 224 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: the constant slurring of the words, you weren't going to notice. 225 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Abby, Philip, I'll tell you. I'll 226 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: tell you, uh, I'll tell you what. 227 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: I think Donald Trump looks older. I saw him yesterday 228 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: on Air Force One. I said, he does, he does 229 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 3: look older. What was really interesting is that while he 230 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 3: looked older, he sounded better. This is the second or 231 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 3: third time, because sometimes he sounds like really quiet and 232 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 3: sometimes he sounds like he's got that cold in his throat. 233 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 3: He sounded as strong as I have heard. 234 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: Him in a long time. He just looks older. 235 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 3: When he was giving the speech in front of a 236 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: soldier's with you for Bragg, I thought he looked older. 237 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: I thought he sounded sensational. The actual voice, never mind 238 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: the actual commentary. The actual voice. I thought that was interesting. Yeah, 239 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: he looks older. I'm willing to accept the fact that 240 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: the president is older. I'm absolutely willing to accept that. 241 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: I'm also here to say that at every moment he 242 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 3: knows a thousand percent where he is, and all these 243 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 3: arguments of oh he's flubbing, always losing his mind is garbage. 244 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: It's horse crap. We're not playing in, we're not buying in. 245 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 3: But if we're now gonna say that Biden had a reason, 246 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: and then you're gonna say Trump had a reason, and 247 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: Trump is ten billion percent better than Biden. 248 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: Trump has no issues. 249 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: No one questions his cognitive ability, and we're not questioning 250 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 3: the cognitive ability of a Cossio Cortes. She's just stupid. 251 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: It was an embarrassing couple of days for her. She 252 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 3: she prepped and she failed. She's not quick on her feet, 253 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 3: she is not smart. She does not have an understanding 254 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: of history. She has no way to pull back. What 255 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 3: she can do is set a fire a bunch of 256 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 3: and underneath the whole bunch of democratic socialists and communists. 257 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 3: And she can be a formidable candidate for president because 258 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 3: you don't have to be smart. You just have to 259 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 3: have the right emoji slogan earring, and she's got it. 260 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 3: So defend her all you want by saying but Trump, 261 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 3: It doesn't but do anything. She's fine because nobody thinks 262 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 3: of her as smart. All she has to do is 263 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 3: say Trump bad and blank ice and any of the 264 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 3: rest of the two three word four word slogans, which 265 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 3: is all she's capable of grasping, and she'll be a 266 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 3: candidate in no time. 267 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: I'm Tony Kats. This is Tony Kats Today. Zuckerberg's testifying 268 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: in a case in Los Angeles. 269 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 3: Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today, Good to be with you, 270 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: Good to be here. Find everything over at tonykatz dot com. 271 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: The case. 272 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 3: Is about whether or not social media platforms harm children 273 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: now full disclosure, yes, but the question is is the 274 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: platforms set up to cause this harm? This is KGM 275 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: versus Meta Platforms, Inc. And it's followed by a twenty 276 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 3: year old who's identified by KGM, And what she is 277 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: saying is that Meta and other social media platforms engineer 278 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: the platform to hook young users. They fuel the worst 279 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 3: impulses to keep you scrolling. So in this case, she 280 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: is saying that the platform utilized algorithm and other tools 281 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 3: to feed into her depression and suicidal thoughts. Meta which 282 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 3: is say Instagram and Facebook, Google which is YouTube. 283 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: They deny this. 284 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 3: They cite the safety features, the years of building on 285 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 3: these things. The parental controls is part of their defense, 286 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 3: and they are going to take a look at the 287 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: other factors into this girl's life. Again, I will say, 288 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 3: isn't there a place and a space for personal responsibility 289 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 3: in all of this? Don't parents have a job to do? 290 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: Don't they have a responsibility to monitor what is happening? Well, 291 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: I can't watch all my kids are having to just 292 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 3: get a fake one. You have a responsibility, of course, 293 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 3: of course you do. What do you mean your kids 294 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 3: it's their phone or it's their say stop it your kids. 295 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 2: You get to make all sorts of decisions. 296 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 3: One of the arguments is that it could hold tech 297 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 3: companies responsible. Tech companies are going to use Section two thirty. 298 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 2: This is the idea of. 299 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 3: Platform or not publisher, which is to say, all we 300 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 3: are is a platform for this content. We don't actually 301 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: publish the content. We cannot be held liable for the 302 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: actual content. Now, one could argue, well, there's a question 303 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 3: about how you serve the content regardless of whether you 304 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 3: make the content, and that you are responsible for. If 305 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 3: that is the case where the plaintiff wins, you would 306 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 3: then be saying Section two thirty has been pierced. 307 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 2: However you want to call it, and everything is up 308 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: for grabs. 309 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 3: Then you could see a lot of other loss suits. 310 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 3: According to the reporting from Fox Business, more than twenty 311 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: three hundred related lawsuits followed by parents, school districts, and 312 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 3: state attorneys general in federal courts. 313 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 2: New Mexico is already involved in one of these cases. 314 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 3: I don't get to say with certitude that these social 315 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,959 Speaker 3: media companies are somehow off the hook or they are blameless. 316 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 3: I don't think that they're blameless. But if we're not 317 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 3: going to note parental responsibility in this.

His rich little parents have never taught 340 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 9: him that lesson, and now he's trying to run a city, 341 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 9: and he doesn't understand numbers. 342 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 2: He is a believer that. 343 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 3: Right now the city of New York is going to 344 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 3: have a shortfall, and how do they deal with this reality. 345 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 3: You've had this happen before where you live. You've had 346 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 3: it happen before, where local government tells you, well, we're 347 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 3: not gonna be able to afford this, that and the other, 348 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 3: so we have to raise taxes. I this morning gave 349 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 3: a gave a speech to a local Republican club, a 350 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 3: couple hundred people, and I got asked a question at 351 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 3: the end about taxation, and I said, on the federal level, 352 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 3: I oppose all income taxes. 353 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: Income taxes are an obscendity before the lord. 354 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 3: But on the local level, I do not mind that 355 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 3: there are taxes, and that there are amenities that communities 356 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 3: want and they have to be paid for. That's a 357 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 3: far cry from when they say, well we have to 358 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 3: raise your property tax and if you don't want this, 359 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 3: well we won't have fire services. Maybe you should get 360 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 3: fired mayor town council. However it works, Maybe you need 361 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 3: to get fired, you need to get canned, and we'll 362 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 3: bring in somebody who knows what it is that they're doing. 363 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: It's pretty important that you bring in people who know 364 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 3: what they're doing. You can't just scream, well, pay the taxes, 365 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 3: or you won't have the fire put out if it 366 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 3: hits your house. Zorommdani seems to be making this exact claim. 367 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 10: At the heart of this path is a property tax increase. 368 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 10: This would effectively be a tax on working in middle 369 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 10: class New Yorkers who have a median income of one 370 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 10: hundred and twenty two thousand dollars. The second path also 371 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 10: requires us to raid our reserves. It would mean withdrawing 372 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 10: nine hundred and eighty million dollars from our city's Rainy 373 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 10: Day Fund and fiscal year twenty twenty six, and two 374 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 10: hundred and twenty nine million dollars from the Retiree Health 375 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 10: Benefit Trust in fiscal year twenty twenty seven. These are 376 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 10: steps that have been taken before, but only in moments 377 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 10: of extraordinary external crisis. Mayor Bloomberg's response to the two 378 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 10: thousand and eight financial collapse and Mayor Deblasio's response to 379 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 10: the enormous revenue shortfall caused by the pandemic. We do 380 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 10: not want to have to turn to such drastic measures 381 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 10: to balance. 382 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 3: Our budget, but they are more than happy to turn 383 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 3: to those drastic measures. 384 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: The argument from mom Donnie. 385 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 3: Is that while the city isn't going to put a 386 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 3: wealth tax on, I mean, the state isn't going to 387 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 3: put a wealth tax on. And since they won't put 388 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 3: a wealth tax on, we're going to have to do 389 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 3: this because well, the wealthy should have to pay. It's 390 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: not a fair share. It's a nonsense number. Let's attack them, 391 00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 3: and then we'll just keep having programs. Never mind putting 392 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 3: Islamists and the worst progressives in positions of power. Never 393 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: once does Mom Donnie's team consider, okay, well we can't 394 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 3: spend none these things. 395 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no. 396 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 3: They're going to spend and they don't care if they 397 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 3: bankrupt a city to do it. I have to admit 398 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 3: that I don't care if the city gets bankrupted, doesn't 399 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 3: doesn't matter to me. I can't. I cannot bring myself 400 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 3: to care. Do they have budget issues? Sure, they have 401 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 3: budget issues.

That's what it takes. 444 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 3: But if I have one hundred and seventeen billion, there 445 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 3: you go, and I divide that by twenty three million. 446 00:27:54,480 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 3: That's five thousand, eighty six dollars.

It got so cold that iguanas were falling 456 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 3: from the sky. You think that in Florida they have 457 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 3: a falling ice iguana budget. 458 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 2: Maybe they do, but I don't think it's that big. 459 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: Someone get with Ron DeSantis. 460 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 3: Is there a budget for the falling frozen ice iguanas? 461 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 3: By the way, frozen ice iguana's great name for a 462 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: band's better name for a tequila. 463 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: What what am i?

Time. 471 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 2: To quote Neil Brennan, why in the world. 472 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 3: Does New York need all that money? Why don't they 473 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 3: cut a program? Progressives never cut a program? Progressives never 474 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 3: look at the situation and say, okay, we can't afford this. 475 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 2: They look at you and say you can. 476 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 3: Afford more, and then they say give us our money, 477 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 3: and they use the force of government to get it. Remember, 478 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 3: government is force. That's what it is. Government is force 479 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 3: in the end, that's what it is. Even if you say, hey, 480 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 3: I just want government to, you know, have a military 481 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 3: and enforce contracts, how do you enforce the contract without force. 482 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 3: Remember I'm a liberty guy, not a freedom guy. And 483 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 3: there is a difference. It's not that I have oppositions 484 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 3: to the very concepts of freedom. It's that I believe 485 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 3: that a society thrives best when there are a couple 486 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 3: of guardrails, when there are a couple of borders and 487 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 3: we know how to operate within them. When people know 488 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 3: how to operate within the rules, that's when I think 489 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 3: people are most free, and it's easier to engage in 490 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 3: exchange and. 491 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 2: Enjoy. 492 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: When you have freedom and nobody knows the rules, it's harder. 493 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 3: That's why I'm a liberty guy. This is not to 494 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: say that I favor mass government. No, I favor Article 495 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 3: one Section eight. I favor the leanest smallest government humanly possible. 496 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 3: But I do favor some government. I am not an 497 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 3: anti government guy. I just want government with inside a scope, right, 498 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 3: I want it within a framework, and I want that 499 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 3: framework to be outrageously, outrageously limited. Which is why I 500 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 3: think the Founding Fathers, I think the idea of the 501 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 3: Constitution is so remarkable. 502 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: The how of America. 503 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 3: Here's how we do it versus the Declaration of Independence, 504 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 3: which is the why of America, which is of course 505 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 3: a beautiful document and nothing like it in the world. 506 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 3: This explanation that we indeed are free, which the Founding 507 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: Fathers really believed. And here's a really you know, you 508 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 3: take a look at Adams and Jefferson. And Jefferson it 509 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 3: was tasked with riting the Constitution, and part of that 510 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 3: is because John Adams, being from Massachusetts, knew that he 511 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 3: needed to get other states to agree, and Thomas Jefferson 512 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 3: being from Virginia and being the largest state and certainly 513 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 3: the most prosperous state, if he wrote it, it would 514 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 3: be more likely to get passed. And he Adams believed 515 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 3: that Jefferson had better flourish of the pen than Adams did. 516 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 2: He wrote in Jefferson wrote in. 517 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 3: More of a prose, and Adams was much more practical 518 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 3: a being, and certainly wasn't as jovial or anything like that. Right, 519 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 3: But we come to the Constitution and how Madison is 520 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: considered the father of the Constitution but didn't necessarily engage 521 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 3: in the full writing of the Constitution. 522 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: I have yet to be convinced that somehow there's something better. 523 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 3: The left will tell you, well, look at the South 524 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 3: African Constitution I have. 525 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 2: It sucks. 526 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 3: And if you buy into the South African Constitution, holy hell, 527 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 3: are you not allowed anywhere near power in my country? 528 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 3: Oh dear God. But I believe in this small government. 529 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 3: And that is a government that says we can't afford 530 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 3: to do all these things. It makes the hard decisions. 531 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 3: It says no. Mom, Donnie doesn't say know, except to 532 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 3: you when you say I want to keep my money, Mom, 533 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 3: Donnie says no. Why are people staying? You are watching 534 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 3: the last pages of Atlas Shrugged come to life, and 535 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 3: it's only a matter of time before the lights go out. 536 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if Florida's Galt's gulch me I happen 537 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 3: to like the Midwest, but it's certainly better than whatever 538 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 3: the hellscape is that New York is offering. I'm Tony 539 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 3: Katz and this is Tony Katz Today. Talks continue between 540 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 3: Russia and Ukraine. Oh they're not done yet. They're still talking, 541 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 3: and Witkof is saying they're gonna keep having conversations and 542 00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 3: they're gonna keep working towards peace. Tell me when they 543 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 3: get there, Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, good to be here, 544 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 3: Good to be with you. 545 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 2: Tell me when they get there, because it would seem 546 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: to me that they're not there at all. 547 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 3: Putin doesn't want to be there. And Zelenski's argument is 548 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 3: you're all crazy. 549 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 2: He's the problem. It's not a support of Zelenski, you know, 550 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. 551 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 3: I don't think he's a he's the greatest guy in 552 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 3: the world, but he is the one who's been invaded. 553 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 3: Ukraine's the one that's been invaded. And you don't have 554 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 3: any movement from NATO to try and stop this. There 555 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be enough pressure on here to try 556 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 3: and put an end to this. So all right, all 557 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 3: you have is more chit chat and jibber jabber and 558 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 3: all the rest. You don't have. 559 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 2: Anything actually done. 560 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 3: I had hoped, and certainly I did think that we 561 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 3: would have had this done already. 562 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 2: I don't expect this to get done. 563 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 3: I will be shocked if all of a sudden I hear, hey, 564 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 3: there's a deal. They're gonna keep working on They're gonna 565 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 3: keep working on it. But there is no part of 566 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 3: me that believes that Vladimir Putin would adhere to any. 567 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 2: Deal for any length of time. 568 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 3: A deal is not worth the paper it's written on 569 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 3: when dealing with Flatimir Poot. I think we've proven this 570 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 3: by day, which could be part of the problem. The 571 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 3: White House briefing is set to begin. I will bring 572 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:38,919 Speaker 3: it to you in full. 573 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 2: Keep it here. 574 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 3: I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz today. 575 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: Why from ball Hartbeyer and the Crossroads of a America. 576 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: It's Tony Katz today. 577 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 3: White House Press Briefing coming right up, Tony Katz, Tony 578 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 3: Katz Today. 579 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 2: Good to be here, Good to be with you. 580 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 3: Find everything I do over at Tony Katz dot com. 581 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 2: I don't know what actually leads. 582 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 3: I'm assuming it will be look at the ecological disaster 583 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 3: that Democrats allowed to happen in Maryland, putting millions of 584 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 3: gallons of sewage into the Potomac, and they did nothing 585 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 3: about it because they don't care, because they're incompetent, because 586 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 3: they're incapable. I'm assuming that's going to be first things First, 587 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 3: that it's going to be this. 588 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 2: Look a look at these people. 589 00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 3: They claim to care, they claim that the environment matters, 590 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 3: but when it comes down to it, they're not willing. 591 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 2: To do any work. They don't care what happens. 592 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 3: And the press, the media kept it all silent for 593 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 3: as long as they could because they didn't want to 594 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 3: make Democrats look bad. That's the name of the game. 595 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 3: Don't make democrats look bad. That's media. That's who they are, 596 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 3: that's how they act. I'm assuming that is going to 597 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 3: be first. Now, what are the questions going to be 598 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 3: about from the press, So that part's so much easier, 599 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 3: all epscen ten thousand billion percent, it's going to be 600 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 3: questions about epscene and the FCEN files and the release 601 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 3: and why it takes so long. 602 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 2: And why not this Even though the more. 603 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 3: That you see and the more people listed in it, 604 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 3: Trump did nothing wrong, they don't care. 605 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 2: I mean, they still want to scream Trump pedophile. 606 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 3: These people are not bright and they're not trying to be. 607 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 3: They're all trolls. It is all about trying to tear 608 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 3: down the opposition. In this case, the opposition is you, 609 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 3: because you want to have a rational conversation. They don't 610 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 3: care about rationality. And so I was having today. I 611 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 3: spoke in an event this morning, and I was talking 612 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 3: about the problem as I see it. 613 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,280 Speaker 2: Is the unwillingness to fight. 614 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 3: Unwilling to fight is the political left. I'm sorry, it's 615 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 3: the political right against the political left. The political left 616 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 3: is out there saying we want communism, and the political 617 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 3: right won't even redistrict. If there's anything that signals where 618 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 3: these two parties. 619 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 2: Are at and where the divide is in. 620 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 3: America and the real conversation about strength there, it is 621 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 3: about willingness. They are openly saying communism, global order, all 622 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 3: of it, and Republicans are like, well, we can't redistrict. 623 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 3: Hakim Jeffries is going after Virginia. Why Zakim Jeffries going 624 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 3: after Virginia because their new map would leave one Republican seat, 625 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 3: And he's like, why would you leave a Republican seat. 626 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 2: Democrats are killers. 627 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 3: They're not interested in the rules they're not interested in this, that, 628 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 3: and the other. Remember we were told Republicans if they redistrict, 629 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 3: it's breaking the rules. There's no breaking the rules here. 630 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 3: It's a political process. Of course, you can decay every district, 631 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 3: there's no rule against it. But when Democrats do it, 632 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 3: why you are looking at what democrats do. Republicans think 633 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 3: that they can nice their way through this. Republicans are wrong. 634 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 3: How do you nice your way through the very concept 635 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 3: or through it with a group who has the idea 636 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 3: that children can determine their gender and that mutilation surgery 637 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 3: is good. How do you rationalize with these people? Someone's 638 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 3: asking me in the chat room. I thought Republicans were redisteresting. 639 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 3: They did in Texas, they did a little bit in 640 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 3: North Carolina. They did not in Indiana. Oh, there are 641 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 3: some deal allegedly broger between Indiana and Maryland. And of 642 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 3: course they have to go through will things get through 643 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 3: their Senate and will things get through court challenges and 644 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 3: all these things. But they're moving volcem ahead. There are 645 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 3: states that said notary districting. I didn't say you wanted 646 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 3: to have this conversation. Sometimes you have to deal with 647 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 3: the fact that the conversation is there. You can't ignore it, 648 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 3: you can't avoid it. It's right there, right in front 649 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 3: of your face.

I have no idea for good because 658 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 3: I think I think that might be. 659 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 2: That might that might have been a little it might 660 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 2: have been a little rough.

I could, I could, I could, I 663 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 11: could do better. I promise, I promise I could do better. 664 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 11: And the chat room, by the way, watching on the 665 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 11: live stream is like great example, cats, that was perfect. 666 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 11: I understand now. 667 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,959 Speaker 3: Before it was all confusing, but when you were late 668 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 3: Congress and politics to STDs, it all makes perfect sense. 669 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 2: Now we can out of a conversation. 670 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 3: It's a real lack of fight because I don't think people. 671 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 2: Define what fight is, what is who we're dealing with, 672 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,240 Speaker 2: what is that we're seeing here. 673 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 3: The shutdown, of course, is going to come up in 674 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 3: this press conference. I believe that'll be true. So let's 675 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 3: start with those two things. I think this press conference 676 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 3: is the Potomac looking crappy, the sewage right, not bad, 677 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 3: not bad cats, and then the shutdown. But I still 678 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 3: don't think they'll talk about it in the right way. 679 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,760 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer shut down in the Department of Homeland Security 680 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 3: because he doesn't want the Coast Guard removing drugs coming 681 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,760 Speaker 3: in from other countries, because he wants kids in America 682 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:48,839 Speaker 3: to die on playgrounds. 683 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Are we going to fight or not? That's 684 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: the question. 685 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 3: When we come back, I think the press conference will 686 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 3: be going on. 687 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 2: Keep it here. 688 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 3: I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz today.

Good to be here, Good to be 691 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 2: with you. No, I'm not about to apologize for saying 692 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 2: what I just said. Why would I. 693 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 3: I don't think that I did anything wrong, And noting 694 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 3: that Steve Bannon had a lot to do with Epstein, 695 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:45,320 Speaker 3: that there's more and more and more in these files. 696 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 3: Regarding their connection, and I would say to you, as 697 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 3: I have said before, just because you're in the files 698 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything wrong. 699 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the case Es. 700 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:09,280 Speaker 3: Certainly, what I can argue is that it was obvious 701 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 3: that there was a relationship there, and what did that 702 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 3: relationship actually meant, and how much it was connected and 703 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 3: one of the things they may have done together. I 704 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:29,840 Speaker 3: don't think I would make that accusation on Bannon. But 705 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 3: is there any question he was trying to get Jeffrey 706 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 3: Epstein to pay for a documentary? 707 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 2: Is there any question that he was trying to get 708 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 2: this done. 709 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 3: In a February sixteenth profile in The New York Times, 710 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 3: Bannon said, I'm a filmmaker, a TV houst with decades 711 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 3: of experience interviewing controversial figures. That's the only lens through 712 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 3: which these private communications should be viewed. A documentary filmmaker 713 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 3: working over a period of time to secure fifty hours 714 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 3: of interviews from a reclusive subject. 715 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,760 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe. 716 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 3: Possibly, or he had you believed he had a lot 717 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 3: of money, and you wanted him, you wanted to get paid. 718 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:25,720 Speaker 2: Maybe it's exactly as he says. 719 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 3: He was giving him compliments and he was talking him 720 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 3: up because he wanted the access so he could make 721 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 3: the film. 722 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 2: Who's going to pay for it? 723 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 3: That's my question. Who was going to pay for the film? 724 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 3: Who was putting up the money? Who was going to 725 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:52,879 Speaker 3: see this? Because this was about rehabilitation, right, So I'm 726 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 3: saying that if the reclusive subject was somebody really well known. 727 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 2: Remember, Epstein was known in so circles. 728 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 3: They did some spots about him, like Lifestyle, the Rich 729 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 3: and Famous stuff about him, but known, you didn't know 730 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 3: who Jeffrey Epstein was. If you were around in the 731 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 3: eighties of the nineties, you had absolutely no idea. 732 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 2: You didn't know. You had no clue. 733 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 3: You weren't in those circles, you weren't hanging out at 734 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 3: Studio fifty four. 735 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 2: You didn't know. 736 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 3: So when you talk about the the the twenty teens 737 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,320 Speaker 3: and there's Bannon saying, hey, I want to get access, 738 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 3: I want to make this thing, why would you want 739 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:38,879 Speaker 3: to make that thing? 740 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 2: He still wasn't known. 741 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,959 Speaker 3: He was known to certain celebrities, and he was known 742 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 3: of course for the indictments that the issues. 743 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 2: In Florida, but in the in the in the main, 744 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,359 Speaker 2: who would know, who are you going to sell this 745 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 2: to so it wasn't. 746 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 3: I don't think it would make sense as a business 747 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 3: that Bennon would. 748 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 2: Be like, yeah, well, just going on, I want to 749 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 2: make a documentary about you. 750 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 3: I think it would make sense that he was offering 751 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 3: this oh so important rehabilitation. 752 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 2: I think that's the story. That's what he was offering. 753 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, as we wait for the White House briefing to start, 754 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:35,240 Speaker 3: you have Minnesota prosecutors demanding federal evidence in the shooting 755 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 3: death of Alex Pretty. Alex Pretty is the one who 756 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 3: a week before was screaming at ICE agents and breaking 757 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 3: their tail light and the rest, and then he was 758 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 3: the one who was trying to stop ICE agents. He 759 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 3: was thrown to the ground, a gun was removed from him, 760 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 3: and then he was shot and killed. 761 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,280 Speaker 2: Did someone say gun and then other officers fired. 762 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 3: This is why you need investigations and you can then 763 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 3: get answers to how in the world this happened. But 764 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 3: that does not mean Alex Pretty was a good guy, 765 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 3: not in the slightest. 766 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 2: I will never buy into that. 767 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 3: I could buy in to the fact that he shouldn't 768 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 3: have been killed, but you can't get me to buy 769 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,919 Speaker 3: into the fact that he was somehow some decent guy, 770 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 3: some good guy, some stand up guy. Oh hell no, 771 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 3: hiding evidence and obstructing our investigation is unacceptable and indicates 772 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 3: a total lack of confidence in their agent's actions that 773 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 3: According to the Heneman County Attorney, Mary Moriarty, we are 774 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 3: prepared to take further legal action should the Department of 775 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 3: Homeland Security and the Department of Justice failed to meet 776 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,240 Speaker 3: our deadline and continue to obstruct our investigations. 777 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 2: Our work will reflect our commitment. 778 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 3: To transparency and accountability, even as the federal government tries 779 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 3: to avoid both. 780 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,720 Speaker 2: The county filed a letter. I think it's pronounced twoey 781 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,280 Speaker 2: touhy am, I pronouncing it properly. 782 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 3: It's a process of asking a federal agency to release 783 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 3: official information, documents, video testimony from federal employees for use in. 784 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 2: Non federal cases. 785 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 3: So if they're not providing the information, I would agree 786 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 3: that there. I don't know where the opportunity is to 787 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 3: not provide it. I think that this should be remembered 788 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 3: every time information is not given to the Feds. But again, 789 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 3: I'm not here to try and obvius gate. 790 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 2: Or try to run cover. 791 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 3: For the agents for the actions of ICE agents. If 792 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 3: a failure occurred, a massive one at that. 793 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 2: We're talking about the loss of life there. People have 794 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 2: to deal with it. 795 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,879 Speaker 3: If there was lying involved, as we know about this 796 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,360 Speaker 3: conversation on the federal side, well then people. 797 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 2: Who li'd have to go to jail. No lying will 798 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 2: be tolerated, thank you very much. So with that, I'm 799 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,479 Speaker 2: not sure if. 800 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 3: The Feds can say we're working on our investigation and 801 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,240 Speaker 3: then we'll release it to you, because if we release 802 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:20,760 Speaker 3: it to you, you're just gonna leak it everywhere. 803 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 2: You're gonna do whatever with it, and you're not. 804 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 3: Gonna it's going to affect our ability to engage properly, 805 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 3: which is very much how you guys act. You work 806 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 3: in a way to try and prevent us from engaging properly. 807 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 3: But I don't know how long you're gonna be able 808 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 3: to go without giving this information. 809 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 2: Then there's one of the great headlines. 810 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 3: Oh this is just just just spectacular. 811 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 2: This is newsmax. 812 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,840 Speaker 3: Obama, it's dismissed Trump as a clown ahead of the 813 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen win. How many more things could the Obama 814 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,399 Speaker 3: team have been wrong about? How many more things could 815 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 3: they possibly have been wrong about? They were wrong about Iran. 816 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 3: They were wrong about Russia in the debates, they were 817 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 3: wrong about everything, wrong about climate. 818 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 2: They're wrong all the time. They were just dumb people. 819 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 3: New York Times reporting that newly released interviews that were 820 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 3: compiled by Columbia reveal how dismissive Obama's inner circle was 821 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 3: of Trump in the early years. 822 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 2: David Axelrod didn't expect it. This was. 823 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 3: Twenty eleven White House Correspondence Association dinner. Now that dinner 824 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 3: is high lighted as the moment that Trump said I'm 825 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,239 Speaker 3: running for office. Because there was Barack Obama as president 826 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:17,320 Speaker 3: from the stage, mocking Trump, mocking the persona the berther claims, 827 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 3: which I again, I mean, the whole thing was nutty. 828 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,040 Speaker 3: But Obama's the one with the history of claiming he's 829 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 3: from here, there and everywhere. He written it forwards and 830 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 3: books and everything else. He's the one who. 831 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 2: Was purposeful about not clearing these things up. Guy tells 832 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 2: me he's born in Hawaii, You're born in Hawaii. I'd 833 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 2: leave it be. But that is seen as the moment 834 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:46,960 Speaker 2: that it all changed. 835 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 3: That was seen as the moment where Trump said, oh, 836 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:57,759 Speaker 3: oh we're doing this, Okay, we will do this. I 837 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,160 Speaker 3: think I'm going to run for office. I think a 838 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 3: run for office. I think I'm gonna have a world 839 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 3: class time that you mock me. You think I'm just 840 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 3: gonna sit there and take it okay. And I think 841 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,360 Speaker 3: while he sat there and stared at a bomb and 842 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 3: didn't smile, and didn't laugh and didn't nod. While he 843 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 3: did all that, he calculated in his head what it 844 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 3: would cost to launch a run. He didn't know anything 845 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 3: else other than I'll be at Trump Tower. 846 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 2: And on now. 847 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 3: Once I'm running, they need some people. What is that 848 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 3: gonna cost me? Let's figure out. I put twenty five 849 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 3: million dollars to it right away, and that's what happened. 850 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 3: It is the White House Briefing, and Caroline Levitt has 851 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 3: taken the stage. 852 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:43,200 Speaker 12: As alas, let's begin with some scheduling announcements for the 853 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 12: remainder of President Trump's very busy week.

The two highest places to buy gas in. 899 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 5: The country, New York City in Boston. 900 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 13: The problem is the Blue States will not allow the 901 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 13: gas to travel to produce electricity or to breach customers. 902 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,359 Speaker 13: When Bredid Trump Vers came back in officers from talk 903 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 13: him and Governor Hocal in New York post reaching a deal. 904 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 13: When will consumers in the Northeast feel relief from President 905 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 13: Trump's energy policies and what can you do about state 906 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 13: objections to expand to the infrastructure? 907 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:26,920 Speaker 2: They have a quick bolo. 908 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:28,439 Speaker 5: Sure, absolutely well. 909 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 12: The President has promised all Americans across the country and 910 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 12: in particular in the Northeast, where we do face much 911 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 12: higher costs of electricity and of energy unfortunately because of 912 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,600 Speaker 12: the Democrat policies in the area. From the federal government's perspective, 913 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:46,359 Speaker 12: the President and the National Energy Dominance Council Secretaries Write 914 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 12: and Bergham are doing all we can when it comes 915 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 12: to federal permitting. The Drill Baby Drill agenda is obviously underway. 916 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 12: The President has made a huge push for more fossil 917 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 12: fuels in this country. You look at what he did 918 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 12: last week with respect to coal. Coal truly keeps the 919 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 12: lights on in this country. We learn that in the 920 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 12: recent winter storms. However, there's only so much that can 921 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 12: be done at the federal level. That's why the President 922 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 12: has called on blue state governors to participate in this 923 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 12: energy dominance agenda, including governors in New England and the 924 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 12: Northeast by contacting Governor Hockel directly to get this constitution 925 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 12: pipeline underway. This is not only going to bring down 926 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 12: the cost of energy in the Northeast, it's also going 927 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 12: to support job growth and energy affordability and more opportunity 928 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 12: for workers in the Northeast. 929 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 5: And I just have a quick. 930 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 12: Statistic here on energy that I found fascinating, and it's 931 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 12: obviously true because I'm saying it up here. Red states 932 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:45,440 Speaker 12: with Republican legislators currently enjoy lower average retail electricity prices 933 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 12: than blue states with Democrat legislatures. 934 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 5: And that's exactly. 935 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 12: Why the President is calling on all blue state governors 936 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 12: across New England and Joe Kaffe Hochel. 937 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 2: In New York to do anything with you. 938 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 5: Mericans, whether they live in. 939 00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 3: Working with the administration suicide for the progressive of progressive 940 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:01,760 Speaker 3: can't have a suicide. 941 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,960 Speaker 2: They would rather, they would rather the people suffered in 942 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 2: New Hampshire. How do you get them to work with you? 943 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 3: How do you get them to be rational, normal people, 944 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 3: even when they've built an entire party. 945 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 2: Based on this. What's your message? It's just foaming at 946 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,480 Speaker 2: the mouth. Hayes for both ICE facilities. 947 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 12: The message is that illegal immigration, while the border is secure, 948 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 12: is still a problem across our entire homeland. And the 949 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:29,520 Speaker 12: previous administration allowed nearly twenty million illegal aliens from countries 950 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,440 Speaker 12: all over the world into our country, and the President 951 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:33,520 Speaker 12: and Secretary. 952 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 5: Noome have done a phenomenal job at deporting. 953 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 12: Nearly three million illegals have left the country either through 954 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 12: deportation or self deportation over the. 955 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 5: Past year, but obviously there. 956 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 12: Are a lot more illegal alien criminals left in our homeland, 957 00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 12: that includes in New England. 958 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 5: There are many within. 959 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 12: Our communities in New Hampshire, in Maine, and definitely in 960 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 12: Massachusetts and in the Boston suburbs that need to be arrested, 961 00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:00,080 Speaker 12: detained and deported back to their home countries. And the 962 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 12: President and Secretary nomen I know ICE are engaged with 963 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 12: local governors across the whole country, including in New Hampshire, 964 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,560 Speaker 12: to open more detention facilities. This is an unfortunate consequence 965 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,439 Speaker 12: of the previous administration's border invasion that the President has 966 00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,680 Speaker 12: thankfully put a stop to, But of course we still 967 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,880 Speaker 12: need to grapple with the illegal alien criminals. 968 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 5: Who are here, and that requires more detention space. 969 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,920 Speaker 3: And it also requires ice not stopping. Do not stop. 970 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 3: You people like strength, This is strength. Can lest you 971 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:31,720 Speaker 3: want to give us? 972 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 6: Can you share a little bit about the presidents thinking 973 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 6: on whether or not to strike Iran, who he's talking to, 974 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 6: what information he's consuming, and why strike might be necessary 975 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 6: on a nuclear program he says was obliterated by the 976 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 6: last US strike. 977 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,760 Speaker 12: Well, there's many reasons and arguments that one could make 978 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 12: for a strike against the against Iran. The President had 979 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,400 Speaker 12: a very successful operation as Commander in Chief with Operation 980 00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,480 Speaker 12: mid Night Hammer, as you know, as you just said, 981 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 12: totally obliterated around's nuclear facilities. 982 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 5: The President has always been very clear though, with. 983 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 12: Respect to Iran or any country around the world, diplomacy 984 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 12: is always his first option, and Iran would be very 985 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,040 Speaker 12: wise to make a deal with President deal on what 986 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 12: this administration. He's talking to many people.

I always love the press briefing 1149 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 3: from so much great stuff, like a reporter asking why 1150 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,000 Speaker 3: does anyone ever called Donald Trump a racist way? 1151 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 12: That got asked all the present and is obviously committed to. 1152 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 2: Let's say it back to Caroline Levittory. 1153 01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,280 Speaker 12: Awfully president in the United States, which he has done 1154 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 12: at a record pace, which has led to the falling 1155 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 12: of rents. 1156 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 5: As I pointed out in my opening remarks. 1157 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,559 Speaker 12: Secondly, the President has recently announced that he is fighting 1158 01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:21,720 Speaker 12: for a ban on institutional investors in Wall Street billionaire 1159 01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 12: corporations from buying up single family homes that should be 1160 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,680 Speaker 12: lived in, in his opinion, by American families. We know 1161 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,640 Speaker 12: this is going to have a remarkable impact on the 1162 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 12: housing market and on prices, in supply and demand for 1163 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,639 Speaker 12: the American consumer and the American family. And then thirdly, 1164 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 12: the President is also expediting permitting as fast as we 1165 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,360 Speaker 12: possibly can to build more homes to increase supply, to 1166 01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:48,559 Speaker 12: obviously bring down the cost of home ownership and purchasing 1167 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 12: homes for the American people. And then also, as I 1168 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 12: mentioned as well, we do see mortgage rates falling. So 1169 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,879 Speaker 12: all of this is combining to make housing more affordable 1170 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 12: in this country. 1171 01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:58,960 Speaker 5: There's still a lot more to do. 1172 01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 12: The President is still digging his way out of the 1173 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,559 Speaker 12: mess that was created by Joe Biden's administration in jacking 1174 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,360 Speaker 12: up mortgage rates and jacking up housing costs. But we 1175 01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 12: do see very positive trends in this Talking about six 1176 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:16,599 Speaker 12: months ago about of owners not renters. He wants families 1177 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 12: to live in homes, not institutions and big corporations. 1178 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:25,120 Speaker 2: Michael An interview. 1179 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 7: He says that it's not fair that the President is 1180 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,320 Speaker 7: saying that Ukraine has to make concessions. He's saying this 1181 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,439 Speaker 7: publicly and not Russia. Has the president seen these comments? 1182 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,520 Speaker 7: And when the President says that Ukraine has to make concessions, 1183 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:41,840 Speaker 7: is he referring to giving up dunbboss. 1184 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,479 Speaker 12: I think the President would respond to that by saying 1185 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 12: he does not think it's fair that thousands of Ukrainians 1186 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,679 Speaker 12: are losing their lives in Russians too, in this deadly war. 1187 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 5: And that's why the President and his team have. 1188 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,679 Speaker 12: Committed a tremendous amount of time and energy in bringing 1189 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,679 Speaker 12: this war that is very far away from the United 1190 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,799 Speaker 12: States of America. But nevertheless, this is a president of peace, 1191 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 12: and so he's committed a tremendous amount of time and 1192 01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:05,680 Speaker 12: energy to bringing. 1193 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 5: This war to an end. 1194 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,800 Speaker 12: Just yesterday there was another round of trilateral talks between 1195 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 12: the US, Russia and Ukraine. 1196 01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 5: There was meaningful progress made. 1197 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:18,519 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. No peace will occur without land. 1198 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 2: Land is getting given up. 1199 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,439 Speaker 3: NATO has shown that they're not putting the force on 1200 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 3: the ground, and I had said to not putting troops 1201 01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 3: on the ground. No one has rattled Vladimir Putin's cage. 1202 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,599 Speaker 3: He's getting the land. We don't have to keep talking 1203 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:34,719 Speaker 3: about this. Putin thinks he can get more and he's 1204 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 3: not going to come to the table until he gets 1205 01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:38,640 Speaker 3: what he wants, which means this goes on. 1206 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,960 Speaker 2: There's no end in sight. I thought there would be. 1207 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,640 Speaker 2: I was wrong. There's no end in sight. It's not 1208 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,639 Speaker 2: over until it's over the end. 1209 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:56,799 Speaker 3: We don't have to think that much harder about it. 1210 01:10:56,240 --> 01:11:02,719 Speaker 3: It is obvious that this is not going away anytime soon. 1211 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:08,200 Speaker 3: And it's obvious that the dune bass of Danetsk and Lahanski, 1212 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 3: and possibly the areas of Japorsia, et cetera, are going 1213 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:18,240 Speaker 3: to become Russian territory, not because I want it, because 1214 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,040 Speaker 3: it is it is. 1215 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 2: Let's just grow up. This is what's happening. 1216 01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:26,840 Speaker 3: It's not kid ourselves silly if we lie. 1217 01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 2: More is coming up. 1218 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,280 Speaker 3: Find everything at Tony kats dot com and don't forget 1219 01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,640 Speaker 3: to get your tickets for February twenty eight Trump one 1220 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,799 Speaker 3: year one month later with the Bourbons and the food 1221 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:39,679 Speaker 3: and a great time Saturday Night tickets dot Tony kats 1222 01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 3: dot com. 1223 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,640 Speaker 2: Get those tickets right now.

I said at the time that 1228 01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,160 Speaker 3: I had a real concern that these people were going 1229 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 3: to bring back the fairness doctrine, the idea that broadcasts 1230 01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:16,040 Speaker 3: have to show both sides equally. I don't want the 1231 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:20,400 Speaker 3: fairness doctrine. It's an affront to free speech. And honestly, 1232 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 3: there aren't enough Democrats to actually be able to interview, 1233 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,280 Speaker 3: and I have no plan of putting Marxists on the air, 1234 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:26,559 Speaker 3: so it might. 1235 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 2: Be very very very damaging. Okay. I don't do interviews 1236 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:32,720 Speaker 2: like other people do interviews. I do very very few 1237 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:33,000 Speaker 2: of them. 1238 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,200 Speaker 3: But still I don't want that stuff, not in the 1239 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:40,439 Speaker 3: slightest and now it turns out that Republicans are going 1240 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,759 Speaker 3: to move down in this way, head in this direction 1241 01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,360 Speaker 3: because they're not smart enough to keep their dad mouse closed. 1242 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,639 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Kats Today, Good to be here, Good 1243 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,040 Speaker 2: to be with you. It's not your radio. 1244 01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,000 Speaker 3: I don't know if the cold came back. I think 1245 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,200 Speaker 3: it's allergies. And if you have allergies, a lot of 1246 01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,839 Speaker 3: people talk about the honey and the bee pollen and whatever. 1247 01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,760 Speaker 3: It's in the nose, it's in the head, it's in 1248 01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:04,360 Speaker 3: the ears o'clock, super weird. I've had allergies before, not 1249 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:08,400 Speaker 3: like this. This is all sorts of new, this whole 1250 01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:09,080 Speaker 3: thing with the. 1251 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,760 Speaker 2: So anyway, it's it's not you, it's it's it's me. 1252 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:12,759 Speaker 2: Your radio's fine. 1253 01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 3: This whole thing starts with Stephen Colbert because there was 1254 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:23,720 Speaker 3: this nonsense story that Trump administration said, we're going to 1255 01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:27,200 Speaker 3: come after you. What are they going to being after about? Well, 1256 01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,559 Speaker 3: you're gonna have James tell Rico on the show. Who's 1257 01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:36,040 Speaker 3: James tell Rico. He's a Democrat running for Senate in Texas. 1258 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,559 Speaker 3: He's a guy who says that the Bible says clearly 1259 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:40,599 Speaker 3: that abortion is good. 1260 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:41,559 Speaker 2: I mean, he is a. 1261 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 3: Radical progressive as well, all they all are. And he 1262 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,879 Speaker 3: was supposed to be on Stephen Colbert's show on CBS, 1263 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:52,360 Speaker 3: the one that's going to end this year. Well it 1264 01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:54,120 Speaker 3: turns out they did not air it, and they put 1265 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,040 Speaker 3: it on on the YouTube. They didn't air it on 1266 01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 3: CBS because of equal time. And you're like, what because 1267 01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:01,040 Speaker 3: you enough Republicans? 1268 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:01,599 Speaker 2: No, no, no no. 1269 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,680 Speaker 3: It turns out that it's because you would have to 1270 01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:09,640 Speaker 3: then give time to people like Jasmine Crockett, who was 1271 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 3: also running for senate there in Texas. But this really 1272 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 3: starts from a conversation that Brendan Carr had, who runs 1273 01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,680 Speaker 3: the FCC, about the idea of equal time. And at 1274 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,439 Speaker 3: the time, I said, what are you doing? Why are 1275 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:32,680 Speaker 3: we talking about this? So the story is is that, uh, 1276 01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,960 Speaker 3: tell Rico, he was making all these claims. Oh, this 1277 01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 3: is the interview that the Trump administration didn't want you 1278 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:39,880 Speaker 3: to see. 1279 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:40,519 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no. 1280 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 3: This was CBS that took this concept of the fairness 1281 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:49,880 Speaker 3: doctrine and equal time very very seriously and said, you 1282 01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:51,000 Speaker 3: can't have him on the air. 1283 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,600 Speaker 2: If you're not going to have these other people on 1284 01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,960 Speaker 2: the air, you can't do it. 1285 01:14:56,439 --> 01:15:00,080 Speaker 3: According to Colbert, CBS released a statement about the pull 1286 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:04,280 Speaker 3: James Tellerico interview quote without ever talking to me, and 1287 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,120 Speaker 3: he followed it up with I really don't want an 1288 01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:09,320 Speaker 3: adversarial relationship with the network. You don't have an adversarial 1289 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,720 Speaker 3: relationship with the network. You're just biding your time and 1290 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,720 Speaker 3: getting paid millions. You don't even have an audience. You're 1291 01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,559 Speaker 3: a ridiculous person who could have been a serious person. 1292 01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 2: Forget you. 1293 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,759 Speaker 3: All you had to do was not hate half the audience. 1294 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,840 Speaker 3: That's all you had to do. If I had a 1295 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:31,640 Speaker 3: television show, a late night show, would I have democrats on. 1296 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,880 Speaker 3: I would have entertainers on. I'd have musicians on. If 1297 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 3: we disagreed about politics, that would be fine. But I 1298 01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,520 Speaker 3: would absolutely have these people on, no question about it. 1299 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:42,559 Speaker 2: The more app to go on a show like that 1300 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 2: than they are a syndicated radio show. 1301 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 3: But I don't want to be told I have to 1302 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 3: have this person or I can't have that person. What 1303 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:54,120 Speaker 3: CBS said is that the attorneys warned that airing the 1304 01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 3: interview would trigger the equal time rule. Now, critics say 1305 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:00,719 Speaker 3: that's being used to startful speech. 1306 01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,000 Speaker 2: I'm one of them. 1307 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 3: This is an absolutely terrible, terrible idea. Now never mind 1308 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:10,719 Speaker 3: the tall rico. I think this is how you pronounce 1309 01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 3: his last name. Is a liar and is smarmy and 1310 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 3: all that jazz. He has a very very peak Boodha 1311 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 3: judge vibe in terms of the smartiness, in terms of 1312 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,760 Speaker 3: the thinking he's above it all kind of stuff. Oh, 1313 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:27,919 Speaker 3: I can't stand it. There's nothing. There's just nothing neighborly 1314 01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:34,840 Speaker 3: about that dude. That's just absolutely zero. And so he's 1315 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 3: trying to make this big deal that it's about Trump. 1316 01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,639 Speaker 3: It was never about Trump, per se. Trump didn't make 1317 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 3: this happen. Trump didn't say you can't air that. None 1318 01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:46,599 Speaker 3: of that happened. But yes, there's been this conversation about 1319 01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 3: equal time and the fairness doctrine. 1320 01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 2: I want you to understand. 1321 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:54,840 Speaker 3: How terrible this all is and how insane Republicans are 1322 01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:57,360 Speaker 3: if they think that this is the way, This is 1323 01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 3: not the way. If she wants to put trash on 1324 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 3: their network all night long, let them. What should happen 1325 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,400 Speaker 3: is people don't watch and they go out of business. 1326 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 3: The market has spoken. Now one could say, well, Tony, 1327 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:18,200 Speaker 3: these are the public airwaves, and there is a responsibility. 1328 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 3: I'm on the public airwaves. There's an issue here, and 1329 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:25,640 Speaker 3: the issue is now, I'm going to be told that 1330 01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 3: I can't interview some senator because I'm not interviewing some 1331 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:32,760 Speaker 3: other senator. If I interview one senator from Oklahoma right 1332 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:40,880 Speaker 3: where we're on KRMG, the Great Tulsa Powerhouse KRMG, if 1333 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:42,400 Speaker 3: I have Mark way Mullan on the show, now, I 1334 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,840 Speaker 3: gotta have James Langford on the show. That's right, that's 1335 01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,599 Speaker 3: the equal time. What if only one is available now, 1336 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,760 Speaker 3: I can't have the other one, right, I can't have 1337 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,000 Speaker 3: the one that's available because the other one, even though 1338 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,439 Speaker 3: they're unavailable, I have to give them both time. I'm 1339 01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,680 Speaker 3: not opposed to the interview of either one that you 1340 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 3: both be clamoring to get on this show. 1341 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,000 Speaker 2: That is not the point. 1342 01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:09,040 Speaker 3: And can some democrat in state government in Oklahoma say, hey, 1343 01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:10,800 Speaker 3: this show. 1344 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 2: Has on these two Republican senators. 1345 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:14,920 Speaker 3: They have to have me on the show as well, 1346 01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,919 Speaker 3: or they can't interview the two Republican senators. 1347 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 2: You think this is a good idea. This is crazy town, 1348 01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,200 Speaker 2: This is terrible. Now. 1349 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,880 Speaker 3: People are upset with CBS for falling in line. They're 1350 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 3: upset with CBS for saying whoa this could create an 1351 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:38,640 Speaker 3: issue for us Now I will tell you that I 1352 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:42,080 Speaker 3: do have stations that do concern themselves with equal time. 1353 01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:48,280 Speaker 3: They are there have these corporate kind of lack of 1354 01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,160 Speaker 3: a better word, mandates about it. They need to know 1355 01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 3: who's going to be on and when, and then they 1356 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 3: do some kind of math. I've never been told by 1357 01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,519 Speaker 3: my home station in Indianapolis or anybody else, you can't 1358 01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:02,000 Speaker 3: do an interview, and I've I would never search for 1359 01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 3: that guidance. Ever, I'm the guidance. I decide, and if 1360 01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 3: I can't decide, well, then this whole thing ain't worth doing. Now, 1361 01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,080 Speaker 3: this might be easier for me because I really don't 1362 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 3: do many interviews, and everyone's noticed. It's like, how how 1363 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:16,600 Speaker 3: do you not do this? Because you guys know that 1364 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:19,679 Speaker 3: there are shows out there that they do two interviews 1365 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 3: an hour. Listen, everybody does what they do, right. Maybe 1366 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,840 Speaker 3: I'd be more connected if I did more interviews. I 1367 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,639 Speaker 3: don't know, but I figure we've got things to talk about. 1368 01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:30,960 Speaker 3: Not everything requires an interview. We can talk about them. 1369 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,559 Speaker 3: But I don't want this. I don't want anyone to 1370 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:40,320 Speaker 3: be told they have to or don't have to right 1371 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 3: have somebody on the air. I want them to decide 1372 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 3: Now CBS has got its own issues, and they're worried 1373 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 3: about a whole bunch of things, so that not only 1374 01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:55,400 Speaker 3: lawsuits regarding the mishandling and the selective editing of Kamala Harris, 1375 01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,680 Speaker 3: but also they take a look at issues they have 1376 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,320 Speaker 3: the government about buying this company or doing something else, 1377 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:06,120 Speaker 3: and they need the government approval. So maybe they're being 1378 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:09,479 Speaker 3: wary of how the government might come down on them. 1379 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,559 Speaker 3: I don't think they should. I think that they should 1380 01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 3: do the job that they think they need to do 1381 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:18,160 Speaker 3: and do the interviews they think will be. 1382 01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,599 Speaker 2: Most engaging to the audience. 1383 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,719 Speaker 3: Now, is a guy running for Senate in Texas engaging 1384 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:27,000 Speaker 3: to the audience. Absolutely not. It's an inkind political contribution. 1385 01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:31,840 Speaker 3: And that's the reason to be opposed to it. If 1386 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 3: Stephen Colbert had on the senator from Texas, either John 1387 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:42,160 Speaker 3: Corner or Ted Cruz, Okay, they're the actual senator. But candidates, 1388 01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:49,799 Speaker 3: sorry about that, candidates, no, no, no, no, no, ask yourself 1389 01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,439 Speaker 3: why Colbert is doing this to begin with. It's an 1390 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:58,640 Speaker 3: in kind campaign contribution. Of course it's wrong. And of 1391 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:02,840 Speaker 3: course Colbert is not a guy who's interested in interviews. 1392 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:07,519 Speaker 3: He's interested solely in narrative and supporting a political party. 1393 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:12,240 Speaker 2: It's disgusting. Stephen is gross. 1394 01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,080 Speaker 3: Now there's another story about who Steven is married to, 1395 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:18,679 Speaker 3: and that person is connected to somebody else who does 1396 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:22,080 Speaker 3: political maps and redistricting. Right, there's all these kinds of 1397 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,120 Speaker 3: stories that go on out there about who's connected to 1398 01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:25,760 Speaker 3: who which way. 1399 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,080 Speaker 2: I don't follow this stuff like that. 1400 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,120 Speaker 3: I am if somebody wants to go sleuthing and play 1401 01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 3: connect the dots and share it with me, man, I'll 1402 01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,519 Speaker 3: give you all the credit in the world. That sounds great. 1403 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,719 Speaker 3: I would love to have a couple of those people 1404 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,120 Speaker 3: who are willing. You know, there's people who are totally 1405 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,720 Speaker 3: into that that really can see that way and conceptualize 1406 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 3: that way, and I would love to get that kind 1407 01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,599 Speaker 3: of assistance and we could share it. I still don't 1408 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 3: want the fairness doctrine, but we should be perfectly clear 1409 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:56,080 Speaker 3: that Stephen Colbert is not a host. Stephen Colbert is 1410 01:21:56,120 --> 01:22:00,280 Speaker 3: an apparatus of the Democratic Party. Fact, anybody he wants 1411 01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:03,760 Speaker 3: to debate that, including Steven Colbert, more than willing to 1412 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,479 Speaker 3: debate it, and they will lose the debate because that's 1413 01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:11,479 Speaker 3: what he is. He has an apparatus, an offshoot and 1414 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:15,840 Speaker 3: arm a vestige of the Democrat Party, and his job 1415 01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:19,080 Speaker 3: is to support that party, and he is going to 1416 01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:23,640 Speaker 3: support primary candidates to take. 1417 01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,360 Speaker 2: On whoever it is you can take on. 1418 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:29,600 Speaker 3: In this case, somebody was Cordon, and Cordon's got Republican 1419 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:34,680 Speaker 3: challengers too. Cordon's not super popular. I still think he 1420 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:36,839 Speaker 3: can win Texas, but he's not super popular. 1421 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:38,760 Speaker 2: I mean, he can win the primary. Texts, and he 1422 01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,360 Speaker 2: wins the primary, he's gonna win the general. The primary 1423 01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:41,800 Speaker 2: is gonna be. 1424 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,960 Speaker 3: Rough, but I do I haven't checked every bit of data, 1425 01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,679 Speaker 3: but my gut, I'll go with gut says he can 1426 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 3: still pull this out. 1427 01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,000 Speaker 2: It will be close, but he can still pull out 1428 01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:53,400 Speaker 2: a primary. 1429 01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 3: You think you think we're gonna see a lot of 1430 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,160 Speaker 3: those interviews from from Colbert or Kimmel. Of course not. 1431 01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,320 Speaker 3: If you want to talk to politicos, you're only talking 1432 01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 3: to left leading politicals. Well talk radio in the main 1433 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 3: is only talking to right leaning politicals. 1434 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:07,720 Speaker 2: It's true. It's true. 1435 01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 3: By the way, if you wanted me to talk to 1436 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:11,720 Speaker 3: a left leaning political understand, I have no issue with it. 1437 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:15,320 Speaker 3: Who the only guy the two guys right now to 1438 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 3: come to mind?

Maybe this is an opportunity 1466 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,440 Speaker 2: to kind of push an opportunity. 1467 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 3: But the if, the White House, if the FCC, if 1468 01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,639 Speaker 3: the Trump administration it's called, that is gonna push equal 1469 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:53,639 Speaker 3: time disaster because then you get into the fairness doctrine. 1470 01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 3: Once you get into the fairness doctrine, things change. 1471 01:24:58,240 --> 01:24:59,360 Speaker 2: The last thing we. 1472 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,880 Speaker 3: Want to unearth this kind of legislation. So how about this, 1473 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 3: Let's not let us not. Instead, let's put more late 1474 01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:14,759 Speaker 3: night shows on TV, late night shows on video, more 1475 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:17,679 Speaker 3: stuff to radio, more stuff to digital content. 1476 01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:20,720 Speaker 2: Let's just do that. Let's just flood the zone. 1477 01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:24,799 Speaker 3: With better content that people want to watch and starve 1478 01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:25,719 Speaker 3: those guys out. 1479 01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:26,559 Speaker 2: I know it's. 1480 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 3: Hard when the network is making all this money from 1481 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,880 Speaker 3: what they're putting out on their news product. I get 1482 01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:36,719 Speaker 3: the issue, Tony. How else do you combat this? It's 1483 01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:39,479 Speaker 3: just like getting rid of the filibuster. You can't get 1484 01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,040 Speaker 3: rid of the filibuster until you know what you're about 1485 01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:45,639 Speaker 3: to push through. Do we have ten pieces of legislation 1486 01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,160 Speaker 3: ready to go without the filibuster? Where the whipcounts have 1487 01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 3: already been done and you may be have in the 1488 01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:53,040 Speaker 3: house Thomas Massey on board. 1489 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,639 Speaker 2: No, then you can't get rid of the filibuster. It's 1490 01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 2: just that easy. 1491 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,519 Speaker 3: You need a plan and then you need to execute 1492 01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,439 Speaker 3: the plan, and no one can deviate from the plan. 1493 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:10,439 Speaker 3: And Republicans don't have that kind of organizational medal. So 1494 01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,280 Speaker 3: I feel the same way about this. You start pushing 1495 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:19,920 Speaker 3: for the fairness doctrine, bad things come, bad things happen. 1496 01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,439 Speaker 3: We should not want this. I'm Tony Katz. This is 1497 01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:29,799 Speaker 3: Tony Katz today. So six skiers are missing. No, I'm sorry. 1498 01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 3: Those are the ones rescued. Nine are still missing. There 1499 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 3: was an avalancheer like Tahoe. I saw this. I didn't 1500 01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 3: sleep because of this cold. Whatever this thing is Tony Katz, 1501 01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:45,040 Speaker 3: Tony Katz today, I couldn't sleep right, couldn't make it happen. 1502 01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:50,080 Speaker 2: And there was there was this report and the story. 1503 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:54,800 Speaker 3: From the New York Post about how the company that 1504 01:26:55,400 --> 01:27:00,920 Speaker 3: took these people on this height, this tour guide company, 1505 01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:05,360 Speaker 3: they're being slammed because the whole thing was preventable. Two 1506 01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:10,879 Speaker 3: of those evacuated hospitalized. This going to Nevada County Sheriff's office. 1507 01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:14,280 Speaker 3: The group of fifteen skiers initially believed to be sixteen, 1508 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,320 Speaker 3: was in a backcountry near the infamous Donner Summit. I 1509 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,240 Speaker 3: have never heard of the Donner Summit. I'm not a skier. 1510 01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:24,559 Speaker 3: I've never been skiing. I think I might like trying 1511 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:28,960 Speaker 3: it once. I really think I would like the lodge. 1512 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:30,840 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure. 1513 01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,120 Speaker 2: That I am a lodge guy. 1514 01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:36,640 Speaker 3: The group was in process of returning to the trailhead 1515 01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:39,559 Speaker 3: at the conclusion of a three day trip when the 1516 01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 3: incident occurred. So this is Castle Peak, which is located 1517 01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 3: near Donner Summit and, as reported by News Nation, a 1518 01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 3: peak name for a party of pioneers that famously turned 1519 01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 3: to cannibalism when they were trapped there over the winter 1520 01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:55,400 Speaker 3: in eighteen. 1521 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,439 Speaker 2: Forty six in eighteen forty seven. I am going to 1522 01:27:58,520 --> 01:27:59,960 Speaker 2: stay in the law. 1523 01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:05,000 Speaker 3: But it's one of those stories where the tour guide 1524 01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:10,240 Speaker 3: should have known that conditions weren't right, that there were issues, 1525 01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,280 Speaker 3: that they knew that they were going to be cut 1526 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 3: off from people. They should have immediately come back or 1527 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:20,040 Speaker 3: never have gone at all. We hear about this a lot, 1528 01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:24,720 Speaker 3: we hear. I mean, never mind the whole remember the 1529 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:28,720 Speaker 3: titan the submersible that imploded heading down to the Titanic. 1530 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:31,519 Speaker 3: How about the duck boat? Do they ever remember the 1531 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:36,400 Speaker 3: duck boat disaster? This is a constant thing where people 1532 01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:38,960 Speaker 3: are doing things. They're like, God, I'll be fine because 1533 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:39,880 Speaker 3: it's always fine. 1534 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,000 Speaker 2: What could go wrong? 1535 01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,080 Speaker 3: And it makes you wonder exactly, how does anything even work? 1536 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:52,600 Speaker 3: How do things? How do things possibly work? Everything is 1537 01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:56,160 Speaker 3: so unbelievably perilous. And the other question is why do 1538 01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:57,439 Speaker 3: we do these perilous things? 1539 01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:58,160 Speaker 2: Now I have the. 1540 01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:02,720 Speaker 3: Answer to that because we have to. You understand that's 1541 01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 3: the case, right. The reason that we invented fire is 1542 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:13,080 Speaker 3: that we had to. No, we didn't invent fire. We 1543 01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:15,800 Speaker 3: discovered that some things could create fire. We discovered there 1544 01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:17,639 Speaker 3: was warmth to fire, and then we discovered fire could 1545 01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:18,719 Speaker 3: burn you and burn down. 1546 01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:19,479 Speaker 2: Your entire city. 1547 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:22,800 Speaker 3: But still we saw more benefits to fire than not, 1548 01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:25,280 Speaker 3: and we learned how to harness it into our very 1549 01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:29,599 Speaker 3: best ability control it. We have to be the people 1550 01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:31,360 Speaker 3: who see what's on the other side of the hill. 1551 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,759 Speaker 3: That's what makes us us. It's part of the human condition. 1552 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,479 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's necessarily part of the reptilian brain, 1553 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:40,080 Speaker 3: but it is part of who we are. We have 1554 01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:43,000 Speaker 3: to see what's next, we have to see what's out there. 1555 01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:49,080 Speaker 3: We have to try. So I get this. I don't 1556 01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:52,679 Speaker 3: quite understand the people who do the repelling off buildings. 1557 01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 3: Did you see on Netflix the guy who free climbed 1558 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:02,320 Speaker 3: the building, Well, I'm gonna search for it. He would 1559 01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:06,960 Speaker 3: no harnesses. It was type one oh one, that's the 1560 01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:10,280 Speaker 3: name of the building. Took an hour and thirty one 1561 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:19,639 Speaker 3: minutes and this guy first free, first person to free 1562 01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 3: solo the sixteen hundred and sixty seven foot skyscraper without ropes, 1563 01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:24,760 Speaker 3: harnesses or safety gear. 1564 01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:28,839 Speaker 2: He climbed up the side of a building. 1565 01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:31,840 Speaker 3: By the way, they put it on a ten second delay, 1566 01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:36,280 Speaker 3: so if he fell, you wouldn't see it, which is 1567 01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:42,160 Speaker 3: messed up because you know that cover, that footage was 1568 01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:45,320 Speaker 3: gonna get out. If he fell, that footage would be seen. 1569 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:47,719 Speaker 3: You'd see it on the dark web. 1570 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:48,360 Speaker 2: But it would be seen. 1571 01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:56,200 Speaker 3: Why would anybody do this? Why would anybody want to 1572 01:30:56,200 --> 01:31:01,679 Speaker 3: put themselves in that much risk? Thrill man feeling something, 1573 01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:05,080 Speaker 3: it's not it's as different for everybody, but it's part 1574 01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:08,280 Speaker 3: of what makes us human. But going out in conditions 1575 01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 3: you knew could get people killed and doing it anyway. 1576 01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:13,080 Speaker 2: I'm curious to see where that lawsuit goes. 1577 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:20,519 Speaker 3: There's a difference between exploration and stupid.

If I'm able to think of 1714 01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:43,839 Speaker 8: you as lesser than then I don't have to accord 1715 01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:48,559 Speaker 8: you the full protections of the Declaration of Independence and 1716 01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:49,360 Speaker 8: the Constitution. 1717 01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:53,240 Speaker 2: I agree with that, John Meacham, John Meacham, the historian. 1718 01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,800 Speaker 3: So where are you and CBS Morning News to say 1719 01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,840 Speaker 3: it's wrong to call people who disagree with Nazis Nazis. 1720 01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:04,960 Speaker 3: We're part of the German military machine and we're responsible 1721 01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:07,439 Speaker 3: for the wholesale slaughter of Jews. 1722 01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:08,519 Speaker 2: Never mind the. 1723 01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:12,400 Speaker 3: Destruction of lives across Germany, across Europe and the killing 1724 01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 3: of millions. 1725 01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:16,080 Speaker 2: Where are you to say, Hey, just because you disagree 1726 01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:18,080 Speaker 2: with somebody doesn't mean you can call him a Nazi. 1727 01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:19,360 Speaker 2: Let's see if he does. 1728 01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:24,320 Speaker 8: And when you have that kind of division, the notion 1729 01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:29,280 Speaker 8: the animating force of a country based on the ideal 1730 01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:33,600 Speaker 8: of the Declaration of Independence, which Lincoln elevated at Gettysburg, 1731 01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:37,160 Speaker 8: we are dedicated to the proposition. 1732 01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:38,720 Speaker 2: That all men are created equal. He didn't talk about 1733 01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:39,360 Speaker 2: the Constitution. 1734 01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:43,480 Speaker 8: He went back to the Declaration, a piece of American scripture. 1735 01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:45,400 Speaker 2: If that is not. 1736 01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:49,759 Speaker 8: Obeyed and applied, then chaos results. 1737 01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:50,880 Speaker 2: I like, there's a. 1738 01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:52,959 Speaker 21: Line in the book where you talk about James Madison, 1739 01:40:53,320 --> 01:40:56,040 Speaker 21: who says it's vain to say that enlightened statesmen will 1740 01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:58,599 Speaker 21: be able to adjust those classing interests to the public good. 1741 01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:01,639 Speaker 21: Makes me think of our Congress. But these enlightened statesmen 1742 01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:03,440 Speaker 21: will not always be at the helm. 1743 01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:04,519 Speaker 5: What can we in that? 1744 01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:04,760 Speaker 6: Good? 1745 01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:06,479 Speaker 2: Lad? Yes, what can we learn from that? 1746 01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 5: Because it seems very similar to. 1747 01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:09,360 Speaker 2: What's going on today? 1748 01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:12,320 Speaker 8: Absolutely, if the founders would have been surprised. I think 1749 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:16,519 Speaker 8: that it took this long for totally for there to 1750 01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:20,479 Speaker 8: be an authoritarian galloping at the highest level. 1751 01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:27,120 Speaker 3: Took what authoritarian galloping? What fear monitoring scare tactic? Is 1752 01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:31,559 Speaker 3: this what authoritarian courts say? He's not allowed to engage 1753 01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,000 Speaker 3: in these this deportation, he has to return this person. 1754 01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:36,120 Speaker 3: He can't do this, He can't do that. He fights 1755 01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:39,640 Speaker 3: it in the courts, but he does it. How is 1756 01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:44,040 Speaker 3: that authoritarian? They don't stop. So here is John Meacham, 1757 01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:52,479 Speaker 3: the historian, playing the game of the intellectual, pretending and 1758 01:41:52,640 --> 01:42:03,640 Speaker 3: lying to the audience, lying completely dehumanizing Trump and anybody 1759 01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,920 Speaker 3: who would support him. So he thinks it's wrong to 1760 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:10,760 Speaker 3: do that, and then he goes about doing that. I 1761 01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:15,240 Speaker 3: can say without any hesitation that Representative Alexandria Casio Cortez 1762 01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:18,519 Speaker 3: is a Marxist and she believes in Marxism and is 1763 01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,680 Speaker 3: supporting Marxism. I can say this about zoramm Donnie. I 1764 01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:23,920 Speaker 3: can say this about a host of Democrats, and then 1765 01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:28,240 Speaker 3: I can quote them. I can show my work just 1766 01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,000 Speaker 3: like I can. When you say Trump's an authoritarian, I 1767 01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:31,680 Speaker 3: say absolutely not. 1768 01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:33,040 Speaker 2: What about this, this, this, and this. 1769 01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:38,040 Speaker 3: I prove the arguments false with data, with facts, with logic, 1770 01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:39,600 Speaker 3: with reason, same. 1771 01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:45,160 Speaker 2: Way I can prove it an argument true. What authoritarian 1772 01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 2: thing are you talking about here? What authoritarianism? 1773 01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:54,200 Speaker 3: I was told that Democrats won and Trump capitulated in 1774 01:42:54,240 --> 01:43:00,519 Speaker 3: Minneapolis because he's withdrawing Ice. Does the authoritarian withdraw his 1775 01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:06,639 Speaker 3: law enforcement forces? Does the authoritarian withdraw anything like that? 1776 01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:10,280 Speaker 3: And the answer is, of course not. So what are 1777 01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:14,160 Speaker 3: we talking about? How can two things be at the 1778 01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:18,719 Speaker 3: same time. He's withdrawing, but he's an authoritarian. He's listening 1779 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:22,720 Speaker 3: to the courts, but he's an authoritarian. He can't make 1780 01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:26,719 Speaker 3: moves on reopening the Department of Homeland Security without Congress 1781 01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:29,160 Speaker 3: passing a budget, but he's an authoritarian. 1782 01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:31,559 Speaker 2: These two things don't jive. 1783 01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:36,400 Speaker 3: This argument made today while we have a shutdown of 1784 01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:40,120 Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security, proves that John Meacham is 1785 01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:43,240 Speaker 3: lying and is a liar, is a fraud, and should 1786 01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:46,000 Speaker 3: not be thought of in any type of esteem or regard. 1787 01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:49,320 Speaker 2: That's how it's done, Guys. 1788 01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 3: I do not owe John Meacham because he's a historian 1789 01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:54,360 Speaker 3: a damn thing. 1790 01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:57,880 Speaker 2: I owe him no kindness when he lies.
