WEBVTT - Episode 4688: Tony Katz Today Hour 1 - 08/24/26 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:11.080 Live from the Heartland and the Crossroads of America. It's 0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:16.799 Tony Katz today. So what do you want? First? The 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:20.040 Iranians putting a ten million dollar bounty on Baron Trump. 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.000 Where do you want more tirefs on Canada? I mean, 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.119 it's really a take your pick kind of day. And 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.520 then you're going to have what it is that's gott 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.280 best of the Treasury Secretary is going to apply to 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.479 Iran I don't know what that is yet. What I 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.640 do know is that the Iranian regime is showing signs 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.559 of the cracks. We can show this, we can prove this. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.720 We did this the other day. We've got more Tony Katz. 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.720 Tony Katz today, kitt and what's going on? Find everything 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.479 I do over at tonykatz dot com. Apologize for no 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:57.320 livestream today. I'll make that all understandable tomorrow. But here's 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:02.400 what we've got going on. You have the Iranian regime 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.520 saying that Baron Trump is fully monitored, putting a ten 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.440 million dollar bounty on his head. It's a New York 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:17.919 Post with the story quite literally where to kill Baron Trump. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:24.240 This is horrifying stuff. You're going after people's kids. It's 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:29.000 absolutely horrifying stuff. Now you can argue the kids an 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.639 adult and all that jazz, but it can't be argued. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.959 The only thing they could be argued here is that 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.920 what it is that the regime is trying to do 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:43.039 is get the United States to stop, and they have 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.320 lost capability. We discussed this the other day when the 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.200 president of Aram Pozzeshkia. Now, I've seen it written as Pozzeskian, 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.320 and I've seen it written as Pozzeshkia, so I'm going 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.720 with Pozeshkia. So if I'm wrong, blame anybody who writes 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:02.360 things on the internet. He just last week when we 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.640 talked about this Friday. Guys, I don't recall, get the 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.280 podcast over at Tonycas dot com wherever you get your podcasts, 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.000 and you'll be able to listen to it. That he 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:16.080 is saying, you know, we've already defeated the United States 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.880 and everybody around the world hates them, so why don't 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.120 we just come to a peace deal. And while he's 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:27.000 saying that, he's talking about actors within Iran and he's 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:31.480 saying about them, they don't understand this conflict. So the 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:36.080 translation there is the president, whatever is there of the 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.160 leadership is saying to the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:46.320 the fractured and factionalized we can call it IRGC, that 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:51.040 they are causing more problems for Iran, specifically the leadership 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.160 and keeping down the people and being able to make 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.840 some money through illicit means. Stop it. These United States sanctions. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.839 Never mind, if they go on more bombing raids are 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.760 going to destroy us. Cut it out, live to see 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.880 another day, rebuild as the Iranians always do, and then 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.160 we'll fight them again. We're not giving up our jihad. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:10.960 We're not giving up our desire for califry. We're not 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.640 giving up our desire to destroy Israel, to go after 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.799 the United States, because it's the little Satan before the 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.880 Great Satan, because destroying Western civilization is the goal. The Iranians, 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.880 the Chinese, and the communists of the DSA, they've all 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.320 got the same wants and desires. That that's what the 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:30.280 Red Green Alliance is. Of course, it is the only 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.880 people dumb enough to introduce Islamis to their society is 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.000 the whole of Europe and now more and more of 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:41.360 the United States. So by saying that Pazeshkiya put on 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.760 the table that sanctions and other things are working. We 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.000 know from major Mike Lions, We know from Stephen Yates 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.160 that oil is indeed moving around the UAE and Oman coast. 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.960 They're on the Persian Gulf, which means that the Iranians 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.840 can't see it or they can't get to it. They 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.640 don't have the weaponry they can get to it. We 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.120 know from the reporting of Noah Rothman over at National 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.440 Review wor at about seventy five to eighty percent of 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.640 prewar oil moving along that coast. Now, this will bring 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.240 us to then, why in the world aren't gas prices down? Well, 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.400 gas prices aren't necessarily down, because that's a trailing indicator. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.560 Why aren't barrel futures down? And that's a place where 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.520 I wouldn't mind President Trump getting a whole bunch of 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.080 upity with some people saying what do you think you're doing? 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.800 Because that is an issue. I'm not a populist, but 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:39.920 everyone could see that one right there. What did Pozeshkia do? Now? Pozeshkia, 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:46.000 now in continued talks, says that the Ayatola Kamane the 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.400 dead one, not the dead one, the dead one. So 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.520 there's the old dead one that you knew as the Ayatola, until, 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.200 of course we killed the Ayatola, or was it the Israelis? 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.320 I don't know. It was Uso as a friend, that's cool. 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.080 And then there was the son who became the new Iyatola, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.040 the baby Nepato, as Ed Morrissey would say. And then 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.040 we think he's dead and no one's seen him. And 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:09.040 if he is alive, he's drooling into a cup. Pozeshkia, 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.080 the president of Iran, says of the old ayah Toola 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.159 that he favored backing a diplomatic solution to end the 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.000 feud with the United States. Now, before we go any further, 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.320 can we both say together, because we're friends, right, we're buddies, 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:31.400 we hang bull crap that didn't happen, That never happened. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.560 There's no way that happened. That's a lie. Now it 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:38.920 is the Iranian regime, so everything is a lie. Everything 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.080 is a lie. We are to believe that the Ayatola 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:50.279 wanted to get peace. So Pozzeshkia, which is now written 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.480 again as Pozeskian, good lord, with strength, but with logic, 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.760 we could sit down and resolve our problems. Is that right, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.200 it is better that we bring the war to an 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.119 end now as we are in a position of power 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:13.080 and dignity. No you're not. You're begging. You're begging. You 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.799 have come to realize that you are in a worse 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.480 position than you thought. Maybe, indeed, as some people have 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.880 been discussing for a while now, the strategy of we're 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.200 going out, we're going to control the straight, we're going 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.839 to abuse people on the Strait of Hormuz, maybe that 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:34.000 strategy was not the best strategy. Maybe that strategy is 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:39.880 a one trick pony. And once that trick is done, well, 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.000 seventy five percent of the oil can get through. If 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:46.239 we're moving more oil out of the Texas, Louisiana, Alabama area, 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:53.200 that Gulf area than ever, well, maybe that's enough. Maybe 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.000 that's enough to satisfy, Maybe that's enough to mollify. Maybe 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.720 that's the reason. Even though oil price is the barrel 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.520 price is still too high. The economy, well in a 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.560 bad place, isn't off the cliff. The economy is one 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.400 of the weirdest things going on out there. You and 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.320 I both know in the every day everything is more expensive. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.040 People are still buying. This is like COVID spend all 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.880 over again. We take a look at the numbers, we 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.720 take a look at the inflation. We're like, this don't 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.040 make no sense. And yet you go to a mall 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:31.239 or or any luxury place, people have bags, they're buying. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.800 It's fascinating. Nothing matters. Now, it's going to bring us 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.840 to a debt bomb. And what's going on with credit 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.680 card debt where you've got one point two to two 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.080 to one point two three trillion dollars where the credit 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.320 card debt in the last quarter. This is not going 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:51.000 to be good. But while the price is higher, and 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.120 certainly the left has been complaining, and people can talk 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.240 about affordability from now to the end of time, and 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.360 there are worthy discussions within this, it hasn't broken US. 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:06.960 Manufacturing is still up, and maybe they've come to realize 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.720 that the economic sanctions are gonna hurt them longer. Their 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.920 philosophy was they can outweight Trump, they can wait through 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.200 the midterms and then get them to lose, get them 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.280 in peach, break them that way. Maybe. I mean, if 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.120 it's you and me sitting on a parcel having a bourbon, 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.520 very possible right, that could absolutely positively be the strategy, 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.520 no question about it. That doesn't mean that strategy is 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.800 gonna work, and it doesn't mean it exists in an 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.319 isolated way. So this is a great example of how 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.559 media tries to paint the picture of here's the only 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.880 way this happens. This the way it goes on, and 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:44.320 it isn't. There are multiple things happening, and the idea 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.280 that everything wasn't going to work for Trump that was 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.880 never true. We said it. Of course, I disagree with 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.280 the philosophy. I believe you got to take out the regime. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.480 It's the only thing that will work in the long 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.640 term is ending this regime, ending the Islamist having them destroyed, 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.800 quite literally, the raising of buildings in Iran by the people, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.320 administrative offices, moss everything. The people are gonna have to 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.640 do that in order to show the end of the regime. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.240 That's how that one's gonna work. I mean, history does 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:24.800 what it does. But they were relying on being able 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.800 to outweig Trump, and no one ever asked the question, 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.440 can they outweight themselves? Wait, hold on, I know one 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.640 group of people that did. We did. We asked if 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.400 he can outweight himself, if they can outwait themselves. We 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.960 asked if the Iranian regime can handle this, and the 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.439 answer based on now two pieces from this President Pozzeschi 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.600 in I got an official it's with an end, it's 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.400 got the end and there the answer is no. They 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:57.400 can't wait it out. They just can't. So what is 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.280 it that we are going to see Bessen to unleash today? 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.000 Because we know that this is going to apply to 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:10.200 anybody who's a trade partner. The real thing to watch 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.280 is will it apply to anybody connected to Do you 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:14.840 know the answer? 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:15.000 Oh? 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.000 Yes you do. I can already hear you saying it China, correct. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:23.240 That's where the pressure point comes in China and Russia 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.920 because the word I'm street was that Russia was doing resupply. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.559 I don't know what else you can sanction of the Russians. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.480 I I really don't know what else that could be. 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.280 But if no one is willing to buy any Iranian oil, 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:38.719 if no one is willing to do this with a Ran, 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.920 no one willing to do that with the RAM, the 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:46.000 cost is too high, Well that's what I'm looking for 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.600 in these sanctions. That's what I'm looking for from Besson 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.160 in this discussion. We're gonna find out. Keep it here. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.959 I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz today. So 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.480 gergr lins. They're so angry they might throw a silver 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.560 medal at us. Is that too soon? 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:07.560 No? 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.520 Yes, no, maybe Tony Kats Tony Kats today, guys. Good 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.080 to be here, Good to be with you. The Prime 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.640 Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, took to the microphone and 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.440 oh he was steaming. But you know, in good Canadian 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:24.200 spirits steaming. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.200 We'll see. 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.000 I believe that was French for we surrender. I might 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:39.040 be I might be wrong. This has to do with tariffs. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.800 So before I mean before the weekend began, everything was 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.800 was great and everybody was they were, they were, they 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.480 were on the same tune and they were gonna work 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:52.000 this out before fifty tariffs went into effect. And then 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.480 all of a sudden, Canada becomes the Iran of the 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.560 Western hemisphere. Oh that's not nice at all, Tony. And 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.560 they're like, you're not dealing with us as an honest broker. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.960 This is not working. Goodbye, and they walk away from 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:11.760 the negotiating table. Now, this was a fifty percent tariff 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:16.760 on a whole host of things, and one can argue 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:21.600 that there's really no need for the fifty percent tariff 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:28.040 at all, no need whatsoever. You know where I'm at, 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.720 which is tariffs are taxes, and we're the ones who 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.800 pay it tariff strategically, I can live with tariffs as 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:41.880 a philosophy. I cannot, just can't. Absolutely. I think it's 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.560 a terrible idea. I think it has kept the inflation 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.160 where it is. It could have been much lower and 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:51.000 we'd all be better off. Not a fan the Canadians 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.959 think everything is about this fifty first state nonsense. Now, 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.360 if you were to take a look at Canada population wise, 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:04.760 if you were to take a look Canada GDP wise, 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:10.000 you actually could make an argument for it. The population 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.800 of Canada is thirty nine point one nine million people. 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.160 The population of Florida is twenty three point four to 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:25.640 six million people. Case rested. You also have when talking 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.560 about the Canadians, this this fifty first state idea. People 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:36.520 forget that they are Canadians. They don't appreciate being spoken 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:41.000 to like this. They find this stuff frustrating and ugly 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.680 and despicable and low rant and low class and who 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:50.840 the bloody heck are you? They are taken aback by 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.240 this from Trump. They find the whole thing wholly disgusting. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:14:00.560 They don't want any part of it, and so they acted. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.680 We put tariffs on them, they put tariffs on us. 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.160 They weren't buying some bourbon, they were buying some other things. Okay, 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.560 this latest round, one could argue, well, this is because 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.440 Canada is not doing enough when it comes to securing 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.439 in the northern border, something called the Swanton sector s 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.240 wa NTN. This is in the Vermont area. And yes, 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.480 it's been an issue Chinese nationals and a host of others. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.840 But speaking of China, one of the other issues has 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:33.520 been the importation. We're talking about steel and how steel 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:38.800 comes in, and we're talking about electric vehicles. China has 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.240 been importing electric vehicles or exporting electric vehicles to Canada. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:47.160 Canada has been importing electric vehicles. These vehicles are ten 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:53.920 thousand percent ten thousand percent rolling surveillance machines. That's all 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.120 they are. They are keeping an eye on you, they 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.440 are keeping an eye on me. They are transmitting back. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.240 There's no question. Did I hear it right? A friend 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:12.480 was telling me this story that Polaris, which sells electric vehicles, 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.960 will not as of twenty twenty seven be able to 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:25.360 sell in No, not Polaris, sorry, Polestar. Polestar is the name. 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.520 Polestar will not be able to sell in the US 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:34.920 market in twenty twenty seven because ownership comes from China 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.680 and we don't allow that stuff here Canada. Taking in 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.560 electric vehicles is a serious problem for US because let's 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:48.720 say someone owns in Toronto or Windsor and an electric 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.520 car from China. Are they allowed to drive into the 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.920 United States? And before you answer, allow me no, turn 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.960 the car around. You're not allowed to enter the United States. 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.720 I don't care what you're re it is, what your 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:04.280 rationale is. I don't even care about your sick kid. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.360 That's how much we have to say. We don't allow it. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:13.520 Our safety and our security that comes first. You know, 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.240 people talk about this America first thing. And I've never 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.200 been a guy who really was, you know, in favor 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.160 of that as an expression. But if we are going 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.760 to use it as an expression as the Tuckers, Marjorie 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.760 Taylor Green, Thomas Massey set want to use, maybe we 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.160 should discuss what it means. Maybe we should ask ourselves 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.680 whether or not these things do matter. And as I 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:38.280 would argue there's a hierarchy. Some things come first, we 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.640 come first. I don't know there's anything wrong with that. 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.560 So we do have some issues with Canada. I don't 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.440 know of another. Fifty percent tariff is the thing that 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.720 makes a difference. It's now on twenty billion dollars worth 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:59.120 of Canadian products. Canada has responded by saying, we are 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:03.200 going to add Torris on American good on our goods. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.280 Dealing with America. Darry is going to be a big one. 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:13.080 Fishing rods, cement wine, Canadian wine. What in the world 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.120 I'm assuming that's syrup. I'm just I'm not an expert. 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.240 And then they're gonna put a tariff on hockey equipment. 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:30.360 So that's fine, that's fine. If we need any protection, 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:35.320 we'll just cover ourselves with our gold medals. That's twice. 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.920 That's twice. I made an Olympics dig and I feel 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.840 good about that. Canada saying they asked too much and 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.760 offered too little. Well maybe, and if this is how 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.960 you want to negotiate, I can't stop them, nor do 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.560 I actually fault them. Go ahead and negotiate this way. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.040 This might play very well at home, might make the 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:58.359 economics rough, but it might play very well for the Canadians. 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:03.280 We don't take no gup from Trump. Maybe Canadians have 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.399 decided that they'll pay more, but they won't bow to 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.040 Trump and everything will be better and they'll just wait 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.880 them out. You know. There's a message in that. There's 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:17.760 a huge message in that, and there's also the recognition 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.520 that this is the story today. Tomorrow a deal can 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.640 be struck and it all goes away. The first rule 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.520 of trump Ism as Trump wins, and the second rule 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.159 of trump Ism is that a deal can always be 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.320 made as long as that adheres to the first rule 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.119 of trump Ism. Do I think Mark Carney is playing 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.960 this wrong? Look. I think the tariffs are wrong. So 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.320 I think the whole thing is just flat out nutty. 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.480 But all politics are local. And one of the things 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.280 that the Trump faithful and the Maga faithful have to 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:55.920 do is recognize that Carney owes Trump nothing. He owes 0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.000 it to himself to get reelected. That's true of South Korea, 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.719 which I think is more and more upset with what 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.280 has happened with these wargames and North Korea. That is 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:10.159 true of Sinnai Takaichi, the Prime minister there, in Japan. 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.639 It's true of all of them. Don't forget that in 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.600 the great scheme of things. But time has a way 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:23.880 of changing it around. We might actually I would bet 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.840 money on it. We see that from Canada. I just 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.880 don't have any loans Onmie. Isn't like the looney or something. 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.160 Their money? All right, We'll betting sheruh, because at least 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.960 that's delicious to Canada. Joke people, this is a tonic dout. 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:37.440 The thing. 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.320 When you hear Kelly Lefler rightfully talk about the rise 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.760 of socialism, one of the things we believe in the 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:48.880 Trump administration is that the way to defeat socialism it's 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:52.280 not to throw slogans at people. It's not politician talk 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.360 and repeating the same old thing. It's given people a 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.720 real stake in the future. Now, thousand dollars may not 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.840 sound like much, but you take one thousand dollars to 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.160 a child born tomorrow in the United States of America, 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.240 and you give that child eighteen years of compounding, eighteen 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.840 years of interest accruede, eighteen years. 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:12.760 Of investing in something. 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:16.640 And that's how we make the next generation of Americans 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.639 have a real stake in the next generation of the 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:20.680 American economy. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.160 Now, I have nothing against compounding. I suggest you start 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.879 investing now, ladies and gentlemen. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.119 I am not your financial advisor. I'm not. We have 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.840 the same last name, but I am not your financial advisor. 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.160 I don't even know if people consider that joke funny anymore. 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:45.119 I'm good with it. Haha, teh. Everyone calm down a little. 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:55.560 But he's he's wrong in the presentation, which jd Vance 0:20:55.640 --> 0:21:00.679 drives me crazy, because jd Vance is wrong about in 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.520 terms of it is not land, it is indeed an idea. 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:09.320 He's wrong about that. He's wrong on foreign policy when 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.040 we discuss where the threat is and how the threat 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:18.800 must be dealt with the isolationism which he espouses without 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:23.240 the utilizing that phraseology, I don't think is of value. 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.720 Not being involved in everything is worthwhile. Thinking that you 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:29.520 can't be involved in the people who want to be 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:34.040 involved with you, that's just denial. And then this, the 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.560 way to defeat socialism is not through slogans. It's by 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.400 giving Americans a real stake in the future. It's explaining 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:44.679 to them that they are their own future. So if 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.840 you say to me you defeat socialism by the government 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.840 giving every baby one thousand dollars so it could be invested. 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.000 I don't think that swims as well as he does. 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.000 That does not move the way he thinks it does. 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:04.119 He's got the conceptually, He's right there, and. 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.359 That's what you got to do if you want to 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.840 fight socialism, give people a stake in the future. The 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:13.200 Democrats are running a very corrupt game, which is they're 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.200 trying to tear down this country, tear down our young people, 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:20.119 tear down our military, and what's left over with the 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:23.880 ashes of what they've torn down is socialism. 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.360 Well, we've got a different approach, my friends. We want 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:27.040 to invest in. 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.200 You, we want to fight for you, and we want 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:29.720 to fight. 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:30.720 For your children's future. 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:33.920 We're going to defeat socialism by giving you a stake 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.000 in the American dream, and that's how we're going to. 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:36.639 Win the future. 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.879 Can I ask what stake they don't have right now? 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:42.960 They want to live good lives, they want their kids 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.600 to live good lives. I'm asking the question, where's how 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:49.400 do they not have a steak? What is this approach 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:53.760 from the Vice president, Because it sounds, oh, don't get 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.480 angry with me, it sounds like it sounds a bit 0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.320 like the socialism. We're going to give you this stuff, 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:00.800 and we're going to give you that stuff. We're gonna 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:02.320 do this stuff for you. We're gonna do that stuff 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:04.480 for you. That's what it sounds like. That's how it 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:10.280 comes across. And let me say again, for the people 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.200 in the cheap seats, do you know how talented JD. 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:17.479 Mance's JD. Man's a stupid talented You want to hear 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:18.240 a good line. 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:20.800 And whenever I'm in Maine, I gotta give Susan a 0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:24.159 little bit of crap, because, as you know, Susan is 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:28.040 the most independent member of the United States Senate, and 0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.480 as the President of the United States Senate, she sometimes 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:32.600 makes my job just a. 0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:33.240 Little bit harder. 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:37.320 But she makes it harder because she is coming to 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:40.879 work every single day and fighting, not for a political 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:43.320 party or not for any abstraction. 0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:45.159 She comes to work every single. 0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:49.080 Day and she fights for the great people of Maine. 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:53.600 And that line is so good. That line is so 0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:56.240 good for the state of Maine. Why did she vote 0:23:56.240 --> 0:24:00.600 against Todd blanche for Attorney General? She voted against nomination 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:03.560 because she needed to show the people of Maine, that 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:07.720 she was independent of Trump. Everybody knows this. I assume 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:11.879 that people of Maine know this. You know this. But 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:15.000 that's exactly why it happened. She needed the out the 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.560 vote Countador was already there. They already knew what they 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:19.919 were gonna do about McConnell, and that's how Blanche got 0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:23.560 confirmed fifty to forty nine. Really, shame on the Democrats 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.560 who in Toto didn't vote for him. They were wrong. 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:31.520 And as for Lisa Murkowski, the Senator from Alaska, is 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:35.040 always wrong. She doesn't fight for a political party, She 0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:38.800 fights for the great people of Maine. Come on awesome 0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:45.800 line and beautifully delivered. He is able and capable. When 0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:52.439 we get into policy, it just does not connect. His 0:24:52.680 --> 0:25:00.840 policies are not policies that one can consider having great value. 0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:04.800 Because if the answer is you don't want socialism, rather 0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.520
