Speaker 2: You cannot win a brand new car by subscribing. But

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: I'd still appreciate it quite a bit. Twenty two thousand jobs.

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: That children is a kneema. That's absolutely positively nothing.

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Why what is going on?

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: Well, before we get to the why, let's connect this

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: to another part of the story, which is the market said,

21
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: this is not bad news at all, not bad news

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: in the slightest. As a matter of fact, this could

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: be the start of something very interesting. Twenty two thousand

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: jobs to start of something very interesting. How about the

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: belief that the lack of jobs means the FED will

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: now cut rates. Oh, I get it. I get what

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: you're saying. The whole thing is just a little bit conspiratorial.

28
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: I have no idea of these people are gonna cut

29
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: rates or not. That's the X Files in case you

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: didn't know, that's the X Files.

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: And then this.

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: That is Stranger Things. So there's the difference. So that

33
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: was X Files, this is Stranger Things?

34
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Where do we go? And that's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

35
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: I got them all kids, I got her. That is

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: actually on my soundboard.

37
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: Michelle Tracktenberg The Late Now Michelle Tracktenberg singing with Anthony

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: Head and the rest of the cast the show. Joss

39
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: Whedon may be an awful guy, but the show was

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: a work of art. Don't don't at me, don't at me.

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm right. Just trust me on this one. Go watch it.

42
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Will the Fed cut rates because there are no jobs, right,

43
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: You've got less hiring. The economy is slowing down. You

44
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: won't have all this flux. But you had a GDP

45
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: of three point three percent. Real wages are up, spending

46
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: is up. I think that this is the market in

47
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: levels of hope. I don't know if this is market

48
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: and levels of reality, but it's reality that I want

49
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: to discuss, and I want to lay down my marker

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: as almost a warning to everyone. First, I have been

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: making the argument that I don't think this is a

52
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: good economy, and you know, I've had this conversation as

53
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: you know, with doctor Matt Will, economist at the University

54
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: of Indianapolis.

55
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: I remain firm in that this is not a good.

56
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: Economy and it drives me crazy because it can be.

57
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: Of course, I put forth to you that and we

58
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: should be clear. Even with this job's report, you have

59
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Hassett, who White House Economic advisor, saying that the

60
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: job's report will probably revise up. Usually things revise down.

61
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Now he's saying it will revise up. I mean, maybe

62
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: he's just trying to put a happy face on it.

63
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: We've seen enough things come out from the Bureau of

64
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: Labor Statistics that maybe they don't have all the numbers right,

65
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: maybe they're are antiquated, their algorithms don't work in today's world,

66
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: and engaging enough factors or concepts, it's all absolutely possible.

67
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: We've discussed this. Let's look at the systems. But let

68
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 2: me get back to my point. I think the bad

69
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: stuff's coming. And one of the things that I am

70
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: convinced is coming. In a world of bad stuff coming,

71
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: there is absolutely no way for companies to keep absorbing

72
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: the tariffs. There's just no way. The market. If we

73
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: discuss Wall Street in general, they seem to have engaged

74
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: a level of absorption.

75
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: We've discussed it here where it's.

76
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: Not a new normal, but rather the market adjusts to

77
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: what is the baseline, and as long as there is

78
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: a consistency and a continuity within the baseline, they can operate.

79
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: It's when the consistency doesn't exist, when there is flocks,

80
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 2: they fall apart. It all just becomes cattywampus. They don't

81
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: know what to do. But when you give them certain

82
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: basic rules of the road man, they can adjust to

83
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: that and hold. And I think that with some of

84
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: these baseline tariff numbers of ten percent, they've been able

85
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: to do that. These large scale tariffs on China, they've

86
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: been able to do that. When it went on, India

87
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: started reincreasing tariffs there, especially with their relationship with Russia,

88
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: it got a little.

89
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: Weird for a while, and there now there may be

90
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: able to do that.

91
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: One of the things that this is all predicated on

92
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: is companies that are paying the tariffs not passing along

93
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: that cost. And we've seen this from Toyota and a

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: host of others. I am a believer that that cannot hold.

95
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: I've said it before, but I don't think I've ever

96
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: declared it before. It cannot hold. And it doesn't matter

97
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: what Donald Trump wants. The President cannot force these companies.

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: To keep eating the cost.

99
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: Eventually someone says sorry, we can't do this anymore, and

100
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: everybody else follow suit.

101
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Now they might not follow a.

102
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: Suit by saying, the tyres have increased our cost by

103
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: eleven dollars, So we're going to add eleven dollars to

104
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: the cost and increased our.

105
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: Cost by eleven dollars. We're going to add four.

106
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: Dollars and eighty three cents to the cost and give

107
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: ourselves some relief. Then it's five dollars and twenty two cents.

108
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: Then it's seven dollars and four cents. Then it's eight

109
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: dollars and fifty eight cents, and that's how it's going

110
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: to creep up.

111
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that they don't take the whole cost of the

112
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: tire iff.

113
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: To move it over, but they are going to move

114
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: over a number that is palatable, that could be absorbed,

115
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: that the people are willing to take before they revolt.

116
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: There was a story out of Vegas. Where is my

117
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: story out of Vegas? Guys?

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: I know I have it somewhere that tourism in Vegas

119
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: is down. And we've talked about this before. If you

120
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: remember the Vegas numbers there it is Vegas tourism is

121
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: down twelve percent. That's a pretty big number, twelve percent

122
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: in July compared to a year go right. Convention attendance

123
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: has been up and down, decreasing ten percent in June

124
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: but up ten percent in July.

125
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: But the overall is down.

126
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: Why is that people have come to the conclusion that

127
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: Vegas is charging a premium that is no longer worth it?

128
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: And I'm actually booking my flights hope to head out

129
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: there for Christmas. Did Christmas in Vegas last year, and honestly,

130
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: it was awesome.

131
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: It was fantastic.

132
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: All the restaurants are open, half the crowd and we

133
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: were doing things that weren't really costly. And I always

134
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: know in a restaurant itself, I'm gonna pay extra.

135
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: But some of the restaurants have just gone overboard.

136
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: Even the basic places, the quick serve places, they're all

137
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: charging this Vegas premium.

138
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: If I'm going to Hugo's Cellar in the Four Queens.

139
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: Which is a fantastic experiential steakhouse. The steak is good,

140
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: the prime rip is very good, but the experience of

141
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: hugo Sellar in the Four Ens.

142
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: It's spectacular.

143
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: This older casino there on Freemont, it's a little dirty,

144
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: sorry for Queens.

145
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: And then you walk down the couple of stairs.

146
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: You're in the basement and everybody's in the tuxes and

147
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: some of the servers have been there for thirty five

148
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: years and the tucks doesn't really fit and.

149
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: They don't care, and that's part of the charm.

150
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: And you're getting the sorbet in between the courses, and

151
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: the ladies all get the flour and it ends with

152
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: the chocolate dipped strawberries. It's such a great experience.

153
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna pay an arm and a leg.

154
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: Such a fun, great classic experience, classic steakhouse, like you're

155
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: pretty sure Frankendino eight here kind of thing, totally worth it.

156
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: I've done it with a large group of guys. I've

157
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: done it with the family. You can do it both ways,

158
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: so much fun, and you only have to do it once.

159
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: You only have to do it once, and then take

160
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: the pictures and be like that was fun, cause it is.

161
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: It is fun. That's a financial place. Giada's there in

162
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: the Cromwell. And now I don't own stock in any

163
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: of these places. I don't get paid to mention them.

164
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: Giadas is spectacular. The lemons spaghetti at Giadas there at

165
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: the Cromwell. First of all, every seat has a great view.

166
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: It's really a well done spot. The lemon spaghetti is

167
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 2: beyond memorable. You will be glad you did it. We

168
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: did it as an appetizer, which is a nice way

169
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: to do it, and everybody gets to try it so

170
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: you don't necessarily have to have it as your meal.

171
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: But it's it's stupendous, it's excellent. So when we go,

172
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: we know what we're doing right, we know we're gonna

173
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: spend the money.

174
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: On these things.

175
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: We know we're gonna food big, but we're also doing

176
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: things that nobody else does.

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: We're doing museums. Me Ale Wolf is.

178
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: There, which is like you know, I think the original

179
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: ones and is it in Albuquerque or is it in

180
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: Las Cruzes or Taos.

181
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: Very very weird, very very cool.

182
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: Uh. We go on art expeditions from casino to casino,

183
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: trying to find the artwork, like they have certain pieces

184
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: on the walls and trying to find I know, I know,

185
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: we are that geeky.

186
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: You've got the Las Vegas Speedway.

187
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: So my youngest is very into cars, and last year

188
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: they had just gotten their license, so I wouldn't let

189
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: them drive the sports cars on their own.

190
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: I just no, no, no, no, no no. But I

191
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: let them do like the drift with other drivers, like professionals.

192
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: But now like we're renting out the Ferraris and the

193
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: Corvette and the this and the that and doing the

194
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: track right cool fun experiential stuff. That's why we're going.

195
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: And we know we've got the overage. But if you're

196
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 2: looking to.

197
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: Just have like a three day vacation, Vecas.

198
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: Has gotten impossible. The resort fee nonsense. I pay an

199
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 2: extra fifty dollars a day because you have a pool

200
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: and I get I get clean towels. That's now worth

201
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: an extra fifty dollars a day. Then you have the audacity,

202
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: not the eve out of anybody who checks me. It's

203
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: all kioskore. I got to do it by my phone.

204
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: What happens if there's a problem, why can't I speak

205
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: to a person? The amenities become less, and yet the

206
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: cost becomes more. And now you've put a premium on

207
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: all food everywhere, not just the places I'm talking about.

208
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: Admittedly I eat it at a different level and you

209
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: might too, but you might be like, no, no, no, I've

210
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: got a family a four or a.

211
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: Family of five. We can't go to those places. We

212
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: go to these.

213
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: Places and the buffet is now forty two dollars. A

214
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: person comes a moment where it's just not cost effective.

215
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: I totally get it, I absolutely get it. And what

216
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: has happened as I wrap this up, is that what

217
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: people have done is they have said we're not going anymore.

218
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: They have publicly stated this is too expensive, and they

219
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: are revolting if you will against it, which one should

220
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: hope is a signal to Vegas that you have to

221
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: bring down some of these costs. You've gotten away with

222
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 2: all the little add ons stuff like an airline has

223
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: done for long enough.

224
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: We're not doing this anymore.

225
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 2: That is how I see businesses in the United States.

226
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: They've absorbed the tariffs for as long as they can

227
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: and it's over.

228
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: Now.

229
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: We're not even discussing the other things that nobody is discussing. Guys,

230
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: you and I are the only people discussing this in

231
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: all of radio. The cost of insurance on our daily lives.

232
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: It is insane. Should we talk about how the health

233
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: insurance are paying more for is covering less stuff? These

234
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: costs and then what we're seeing for the costs has

235
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: got everybody insane. If you've bought a house and you

236
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: see property taxes going up, and you bought the house today,

237
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: is anybody asking themselves what happens when I have to

238
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: sell this house in four years because the property taxes

239
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: are going to push me out of affordability. This stuff

240
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: is going up ad infinitum. It's just become untenable. The

241
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: business community is going to say the tariffs have become untenable,

242
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: and they're not gonna care how Trump yells and screams

243
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: about absorbing it. They're gonna say, don't you tell us

244
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: about business. This ain't the art of the deal. This

245
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: is intimidation and kiss off that's coming. And the shareholders

246
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: are gonna say good for you, and they're gonna reward

247
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: the companies with stock prices going up, and therefore they're

248
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 2: gonna pass the costs along that they've been eating. This

249
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: manufacturing down thing. Even more so than the jobs numbers,

250
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: it tells the tale. This is not a good economy,

251
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: and I hate that it's not a good economy.

252
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: I wanted better.

253
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: Trump's still trying with the tariffs and everything else. Guys,

254
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: Tariffs are not the answer. I'm just I'm there on

255
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: that creating deals, good result of deals. I'd like to

256
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: see if you said there is going to be a

257
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: ten percent tariff across the board on everything, fine, everybody

258
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: could live with it. But it isn't that, and the

259
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: companies can't live with it. And I think every number

260
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: is showing that we're not in a good place, and

261
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: you see it in your life every day. Something's got

262
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: to give, and I think it's going to be the

263
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: tariffs being eaten first. They will push back to the

264
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: customer and it's going to happen very soon.

265
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: That's my take. Let's find out if I'm right.

266

268
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: we live in a society where we talk about great trolls.

269
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: That's I think I may have stumbled upon a problem.

274
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: of fantastic, miraculous and amazing trolling.

275
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly.

276
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: President Trump has turned this into an art form or

277
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: really his team. I don't know how it works. No,

278
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: I don't like every bit of it, but I am

279
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: not so dead inside. I don't understand that he's making

280
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: it enjoyable for his followers, and he is showing that

281
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: he's having.

282
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: A good time.

283
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: My problem has always been I want the job to

284
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: be taken seriously, and I want it to be shown

285
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: that way like I think it matters. And I get

286
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: that I might be old school in the philosophy, neither

287
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: here nor there. So when he puts out as he did,

288
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: the cracker barrel logo, and it's got the guy right

289
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: there on the on the chair on the next to

290
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: the barrel, and him and they're.

291
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Very fun statement. Trump walks into the logo and shakes

292
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: the dude's hands and he's in the.

293
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: Same colors as the cracker Barrel logo and they're both dancing.

294
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: It's it's absolutely ridiculous, but it gets like it has

295
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: two hundred and ninety nine thousand likes on social media

296
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: on Twitter acts people love it. And then there's this one,

297
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 3: which is a slow motion AI rendering of Chris Christi

298
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: and JB.

299
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: Pritzker Suma wrestling like in the full gear and things

300
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: are are jiggling. It's a.

301
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: It's a sight to behold. But I mean, the people

302
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: call President Trump fat.

303
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: He's calling other people fat again. I don't like it.

304
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't want any of this. Just do the job.

305
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: It's all I want. Anybody, Just do their job. Am

306
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: I crying yet? That's it.

307
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: But this one, this one is the one of all

308
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: the things that make the left completely out of their minds.

309
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: This one is the one. It is Trump superimposed on

310
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore. Right, You've got Washington, you've got Jefferson, you've

311
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: got Roosevelt, you've got Lincoln, and it's Trump superimposed onto

312
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore. Nothing makes the left more apoplectic drives. Their

313
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: Their response is like, I'm exhausted by the trolling. I

314
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 2: don't want it. I just think that we should not

315
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: be those people, But it happens. It's far different than

316
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: letting it seep into your mind and fester and ruin

317
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: your whole life. That when they see that, there is

318
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 2: nothing that I have seen that gets the more insane. Now,

319
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: what's interesting is if you were to take a look

320
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: at the political left over the last let's say, since JFK,

321
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: we should really say Democrats because it was a different time.

322
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: Since JFK, there is not a Democrat that they could

323
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: place there, not JFK, not LBJ, although LBJ you could

324
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: argue with levels of transformative but not in a good way,

325
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: not a Carter, not Clinton, unless you're going to make

326
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: room for Lewinsky, which, by the way, maybe she doesn't

327
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: deserve the joking that she often gets with this.

328
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: Maybe she deserves a little bit of joking.

329
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to leave that for others, certainly not Barack Obama.

330
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: You could argue that Joe Biden did more to engage

331
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: transformation of the nation away from capitalism and into some

332
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: hell escape than any other Democrat, but you go back

333
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: twenty plus years, you go back to JFK, and you

334
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: take a look at Republicans Reagan Trump in terms of

335
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: transfer normative, in terms of refocusing.

336
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: It's just true, just true.

337
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 2: Republicans have more reason to say, hey, here's somebody should

338
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: be Mount Rushmore, and the Democrats too, that's my take.

339
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: But the idea that there's gonna be another head of

340
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: Mount Rushware, that's that's not happening, only because I don't

341
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: think they've got the room to do it, and you're

342
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: not gonna be able.

343
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: To get it done. But if it drives the left

344
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: completely nuts, and it's.

345
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: Not coming from President Trump, go at it, mister president.

346
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: If you would just less trolling and more lowering my

347
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: taxes could be great. Thank you so much. This is

348
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: Tony Kats today.

349
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: So what has come out of the Bolton raid? First

350
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 2: things first, the understanding that this was not about politics.

351
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: It wasn't Trump engaged in retribution. No part of that

352
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: at all is true. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good

353
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: to be with You find everything at Tony Katz dot com.

354
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: It wasn't the Trump administration going after John Bolton, the

355
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: former National Security Advisor for President Trump, the former ambassador

356
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: to the UN who now is very anti Trump. It

357
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: wasn't some level of retribution. That isn't what happened. That's

358
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: not true. What happened was the Biden Justice Department started

359
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 2: working on this, the Biden Justine Department. Justice Department started

360
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: putting this together. And what they said was was that

361
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: John Bolton had files that he shouldn't have. As The

362
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: New York Post reports the story, they raided his home

363
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: in Bethesda, Maryland. They raided his office in DC. The

364
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: investigation looks in two allegations that he snuck national security

365
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: files out of the White House during President Trump's first

366
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: term and then emailed them to family members on.

367
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: A private server.

368
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: This according to high ranking FBI official speaking to the

369
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: New York Post. So they took two iPhones and seized

370
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,239
Speaker 2: three computers. In addition, they confiscated two USB drives, a

371
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: hard drive, four boxes of printed daily activities, typed documents

372
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: in folders labeled Trump one through four, one through four

373
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: being in Roman numerals, and a whitebinder labeled statements and

374
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: reflections to Allied strikes. Bolton's also being looked at, according

375
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: to the warrant for allegedly violating two sections of the

376
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: Espionage Act of nineteen seventeen, which would forbid unauthorized possession

377
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: or removal of national defense information, and another law that

378
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 2: prevents the hoarding of classified files. Now what does this

379
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: tell us. It tells us a whole host of things. First,

380
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: one can still argue that we live in a world

381
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: of overclassification. The people in charge of classifying classify things,

382
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 2: because after all, that's what they're supposed to do. If

383
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: you're given a stamp and told to keep things classified,

384
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: everything you look at it's like, well, that's going to

385
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: have to be classified. Oh, we're gonna have to classify that,

386
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: you know what. I'm gonna be safe and make sure

387
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: that's classified. All that has to be classified, super extra

388
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: top secret.

389
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: Is what that one has to be classified. That's what

390
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna do all day long.

391
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: So the people who deal in the world have classified

392
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: are going to go out there and they're going to

393
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 2: classify everything. So we have too many things that fit

394
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: into this world. The second thing is is that I

395
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: have not changed in any of my opinions at all,

396
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 2: and these people who are taking classified documents have to

397
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: be dealt with when the former Vice president Mike Pence

398
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: had found classified documents in his home. He made the

399
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: calls immediately and said, hey, this stuff is here, come

400
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 2: get it, and they did a search of everything. Do

401
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: I think the former vice president was trying to keep

402
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: classified documents in his house? No, I don't think he's

403
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: Sandy Berger stuffing things into his socks. I don't think

404
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: that's him at all. But the fact that he had

405
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 2: them is at least proof of we have too many

406
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: classified things. But he shouldn't have had them, and he

407
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: has to deal with the consequences of having them. When

408
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: President Trump had the classified documents, first that you knew

409
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: the boxes existed, and the Biden people were saying, pick

410
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: up these boxes, and he brought them tomorrow logo and

411
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: the Secret Service put the lock on the door, and

412
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: then you had the nonsense raid. No one talks about

413
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: the fact of what a setup that all was. There

414
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: are things that President Trump should not have had.

415
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: Now, the argument of he.

416
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: Was the president and therefore the taking of the document

417
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: is the declassifying of the document is actually an argument

418
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: that I ascribe to. I still think that that argument holds.

419
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: That said, it should have been with him in a

420
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 2: box somewhere mar Lago that other people may have had

421
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: access to before any level of lock was put on there,

422
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 2: or even with the lock that was put on there

423
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: by the Secret Service. No, I think it's a sound argument. No,

424
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: absolutely not. That should not have ever been the case.

425
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: Should Joe Biden have had any classified documents? No, absolutely

426
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: not in his offices in Dco. Is it in Pennsylvania

427
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: wherever it was he was running some pseudo institute there

428
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: where he was taking lord only knows how much money,

429
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: because well, paying for access is what happen. Bins not

430
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: in his home in Delaware that we still don't have

431
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: the logs for who visited. The Secret Service under Joe

432
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: Biden did not keep a record of who visited him

433
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: at the house in Delaware. We have no idea who

434
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: was there. We have no idea what they had access to,

435
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: what they saw. The documents are laying around the garage

436
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: where his drug adult son is damn strade.

437
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: I'll call Hunter Biden drug adults.

438
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: You think I want a coke fiend near classified information.

439
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 2: He might be trying to clean himself up, and I

440
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: only wish him the very best in that regard. But

441
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: is there any question that a guy who did coke,

442
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: That a guy who lied on a federal form to

443
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: purchase a gun, and then you found cocaine in the

444
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 2: White House, and nobody knows whose cocaine it was.

445
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: My take is that it was Hunter's.

446
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: And since I while I can't prove it, at least

447
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: my argument has plausibility, you could believe it took place.

448
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: The rational national security thing is to not let that

449
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: guy near anything classified.

450
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: Also, do not allow.

451
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: Him near any kind of operating machinery, heavy equipment, nor

452
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: any electric can openers. You do not want to know

453
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: what happens. Of course, Joe Biden was in the wrong.

454
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: Of course Joe Biden should have been charged for what

455
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: he did, this violation and of course putting America's safety

456
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: and security at risk. When Hillary Clinton was emailing classified

457
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 2: documents through her home Brews server, she didn't know what

458
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: the classified marking even meant.

459
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: That was a crime and it needed to be dealt with.

460
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 2: I put forth to you that what John Bolton has

461
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: done here, based on the information without having any other information,

462
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: the idea that he had these materials and emailed these materials,

463
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: that's a crime. There is no excuse, nothing, zero less

464
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: than zero. He was ent I don't do it. He

465
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 2: was entitled to nothing. Now, if you can show me

466
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: a statute that says the National Security Advisor can take

467
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: home classified documents, I'll say, Okay.

468
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Then I want to know.

469
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: I want to know who wrote that statute, and then

470
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: I want him thrown in jail or worse. But since

471
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: I don't think that statute exists, I think he did

472
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: something wrong here. I think he violated the law here,

473
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 2: and I think there has to be jail time because

474
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 2: we cannot tolerate this. We can't have it. Republican Democrat

475
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: makes no difference. As a society. We cannot have these things.

476
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: And look at how many things I just rattled off.

477
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: This is only the past couple of years. Lord only

478
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: knows the number of people who have things we haven't

479
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: looked into. It's like when people say you're going to

480
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: look into everybody, investigate everybody who got a mortgage, See

481
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: who's going to be mortgage fraud. Weverybody's committing mortgage fraud.

482
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: I don't believe in a society where you say show

483
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: me the man and I'll show you the crime. But

484
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: is everybody going to be checking into everything? Via to

485
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: do opposition research. It's already happening. Lisa Cook clearly manipulated

486
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: data and information on mortgage applications. So did the teacher

487
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: James in my view, so did Adam Shift In my view.

488
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: If these are crimes, these are crimes. Doesn't matter how

489
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: long ago it really happens these people who want to

490
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,239
Speaker 2: be in the public trust. Shouldn't we the people know

491
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: it that these people are frauds and liars and con

492
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: artists and bull crap artists.

493
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: I think we should. If you have.

494
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: Classified documents in your possession and you're not the President

495
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: of the United States, well that's a crime.

496
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: So let's just call it what it is. Let's not

497
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: give anybody a pass.

498
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: Let's not give them a pass regarding lying on mortgage applications,

499
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: or lying on on applications right to get a law,

500
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: to the ability to buy a firearm. Nor should we

501
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: give them a pass unclassified documents because you and I

502
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 2: don't get a pass on the parking ticket.

503
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: They are not special, they are not different.

504
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: They are not in another stratosphere at another level, deserving

505
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: of some kind of what we don't. The law doesn't

506
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: apply to them. It only applies to you. Screw them,

507
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: screw that, screw it all. Absolutely not. So yeah, this

508
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: happened in the Biden Justice Department, carried out by the

509
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: Trump Justice Department. This is the kind of stuff you

510
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: should be investigating. And if indeed he has these documents

511
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: and he has all this stuff, John Bolton should go

512
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: to jail, and I only hope he does. This is

513
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: Tony Katz Today. There's a story out of Chicago that

514
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: nobody's following. I know everyone's talking about. You know, it's

515
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: Trump gonna send in the National Guard and yes and no?

516
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: And what about what's going on in Baton Rouge? This

517
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: girl killed in her car. I think it's at a stoplight.

518
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: And whether or not that's going to happen. I mean,

519
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: this is a major, major story that's getting very little play.

520
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today, Good to be with you.

521
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: Find everything going on over there at Tony Katz dot com.

522
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: So this is Baton Rouge and whether or not we're

523
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: going to see federal troops in Louisiana. It's a college student,

524
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: Roderick Faulkner nineteen at Southern University, killed his passenger injured

525
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: when a vehicle pulls up next to the car to

526
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: red light and fires on them. This was earlier this week.

527
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: This is a horrific, horrific story, absolutely horrible. So the

528
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: question is do you send in these National Guard, federalize them,

529
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: send them into Louisiana. Louisiana has itself a Republican governor,

530
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: that's Jeff Landry, and Jeff Landry seems.

531
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: To be of the opinion of yeah, come on down.

532
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: There's a whole argument where the left is saying, you

533
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: keep going after us blue states, how about you go

534
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: after some red states. Well, my advice for the red

535
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: states is the same for the blue states. Say yes,

536
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: take the assistance. Clean up your city. That's exactly what

537
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: you should do. Clean up your city, clean up your state,

538
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: do it immediately.

539
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Why would you not.

540
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: Why would you not say, you've got resources, We're gonna

541
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: spend government dollars. I'm gonna get the benefit of bringing

542
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: down crime. Maybe we could set a new baseline for

543
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: lower crime levels. I'm in, let's go to work. I

544
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: assume this is what Landry is going to do. Why

545
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: in the world would JB. Pritzker, the governor.

546
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: Of Illinois not do this. It is a mistake.

547
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: A radical ridiculous mistake, but I brought up Chicago.

548
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: I really I don't want to give this thing in

549
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: Louisiana short.

550
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: Trip because I'd be curious what the people of Louisiana

551
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: think about this, specifically Baton Rouge. Now we're heard weekends

552
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: on Talk One. I was seven point three in Baton

553
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: Rouge as Sunday mornings. Is when you hear a weekend show,

554
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm I'm very curureus. I would love to hear from

555
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: you at Tony Katz on Twitter X Tony and Tony

556
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: Kats just send me an email.

557
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: Where are you guys on this?

558
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: Is there a real opposition to getting this federal help?

559
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: Because if there is, I want to understand what possibly

560
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: that real opposition is. It would seem to me that

561
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 2: if it doesn't cost you, I mean, it's costing all

562
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: of us tax lize, right, but if it doesn't cost you,

563
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: and we can bring down any level of murder, crime,

564
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: et cetera. All we hear about Louisiana and very often

565
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: a place like Baton Rouge has to deal with whatever's

566
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: happening from Nolins, right. I try and pronounce these things correctly.

567
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm not trying to engage affect. I'm

568
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: trying to say it as it is pronounced. The capital

569
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: city often affects the rest of the state. This is

570
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: very true of Illinois. Downstate Illinois doesn't agree with Cook County,

571
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: doesn't agree with Chicago. But Chicago so controls everything with

572
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: population and with its politics and with its dollars that

573
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: the rest of the state suffers so very often. That's

574
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: true in other places, and I think that is to

575
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: an extent true in Louisiana. But is there a real

576
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: opposition in Baton Rouge from the FEDS coming in or

577
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: is there an opposition to Governor Landry inviting them in,

578
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 2: Because I can't imagine there is, and I don't quite

579
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: understand the reasons why if there is, and so I

580
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: want to hear from you at Tony Katz on Twitter

581
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: x or email.

582
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: Tony atonycats dot com.

583
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: But in Chicago, they've been engaged, of course, with lots

584
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: of crime, and there has been a cold case that

585
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: they have been tracking a couple that went missing on

586
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: May fifteenth and nineteen seventy heading home in their nineteen

587
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 2: sixty nine Oldsmobile after leaving a cocktail party. They never

588
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: made it home. The couple was reported missing. Fifty five

589
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: years later. Nobody knows where they are, so as they

590
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: have been searching for them, they have been dredging parts

591
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: of the Chicago River, and what they have discovered is

592
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 2: ninety seven cars found in the Chicago River. Not the couple,

593
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: just the cars. Ninety seven. They started a Facebook post

594
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: or they put a Facebook post up. They said they

595
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 2: started to search August twenty seventh, and over the last

596
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: two days, we've been working the Chicago River and have

597
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 2: located over sixty vehicles beneath the water. But as they've

598
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: gone back to the site, they have found ninety seven.

599
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with that data point,

600
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 2: but now you have it, and you've got the weird

601
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 2: little trivia thing you're going to be using this weekend.

602
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: This couple goes missing. The case this is from nineteen

603
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: fifty The case comes back to life. They're searching for

604
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 2: this sixty nine Oldsmobile. They search the Chicago River ninety

605
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: seven cars, but just not their car. That's that is fascinating.

606
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: What happened with these other ninety seven cars? What is

607
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 2: the story behind each of them ending up in the Chicago.

608
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: River and how many more are still underneath. Tell me

609
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: that's not a documentary.

610
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 2: Immediately find everything at tony kats dot com.

611
00:35:50,880 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: Monday, everyone, take care. In a NAT
