1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Live from the Heartland and the crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Tony Kats today. So we will see what the House

3
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: of Representatives does. We will see if they actually do

4
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: vote today to reopen the government.

5
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. Great to be with you.

6
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: I will admit I expected much more pushback on the

7
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Senate side when it came to passing this legislation, these

8
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: three pieces of legislation. I expected to see more from

9
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Ran Paul on a very interesting conversation regarding him, which

10
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought was just him being Rampaul. It turns out,

11
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, no, no, there's a very unique story here,

12
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: something that was thrown into this legislation. I expected more

13
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: from the Democratic Party because they're just so angry and

14
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: they hate a Schumer so much. I mean, it's not

15
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: just hate. It is NonStop, visceral, maddening hate. Yet Tim Kaine,

16
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 1: who's voted to and the shutdown in the Senate, wants

17
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: to engage some level of defense here.

18
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: Do you have confidence in Schumer's leadership? Yes, I do.

19
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: I voted for him. He's a good leader.

20
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: He delivered historic wins for the United States when he

21
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: was majority leader.

22
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: Look it's tough being a minority. It's very tough.

23
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: And the notion that Chuck Schumer should be able to

24
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: control or corral Senate Democrats is sort of laughable.

25
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: Well, if you know something about the Senate.

26
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: I very much appreciate Chuck's leadership, but I don't need

27
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: his permission to do what's right for Virginia, because Virginians

28
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: gave me a permission slip when they elected me to

29
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: a third term in the Senate last year.

30
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: And what I decided was.

31
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: There was no path for it on healthcare with the

32
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: government closed and people were getting hurt in SNAP and

33
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: other areas.

34
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: With the government closed.

35
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: We needed a reopen government, protect federal employees, protect SNAP beneficiaries,

36
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: and this battle about healthcare without the background noise of

37
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: shutdown andbscuring the real stakes and the American public's ability

38
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: to see who's on their side and who isn't with

39
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: respect to healthcare.

40
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: So if I could translate Chuck Schumer great leader, I

41
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: just don't have to listen to him. That's I mean,

42
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: that's just precious right there. Absolutely fantastic Democrats, as I said,

43
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: out of their head angry because this was all a

44
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: game and the game is always predicated on how much

45
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: can we destroy the Republican Party, how much can we

46
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: shame the Republican Party, how much can we hurt these

47
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: people because they expect the Republican Party to fold, They

48
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: expect the Republican Party to give up. They expect them

49
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: to quit, and they didn't. And that's one of the

50
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: great great lessons here that they didn't.

51
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: We'll get into it.

52
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: So this is going to hopefully end things by Friday

53
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: past the House Rules Committee last night they finished up

54
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: at one in the morning. Turns out they do know

55
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: how to work late. It was a six hour meeting

56
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: hearing with this group. The Democrats look to force votes

57
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: on amendment's dealing with COVID nineteen Obamacare subsidies, which is

58
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: an interesting part of this. We have been talking about

59
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: the subsidies in and of themselves that we knew they

60
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: were going to sunset at the end of twenty twenty five,

61
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the subsidies for Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, only proving

62
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: how unaffordable Obamacare is. We're sunsetting at the end of

63
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Democrats voted for this in the Inflation

64
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: Reduction Act. How many people knew that the subsidies were

65
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: increased during COVID, and that's what Democrats want to keep going.

66
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: No hands, none, none over there, no hands are up.

67
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: So it's not just about subsidies. It's about larger scale

68
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: subsidies that Democrats put in place during COVID, because, after all,

69
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: you have to help people. We told them they couldn't

70
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: go to work, and now you have to help people.

71
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: So you have to give them this and give them

72
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: that and give them the other. Now, I accept the

73
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: fact that Republicans have done an absolutely horrific job, an

74
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: absolutely horrific job in dealing with Obamacare. They couldn't get

75
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: Skinny repealed done, and then they have not been able

76
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: to engage a conversation of why we need something else,

77
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: or rather why this doesn't work. I think President Trump

78
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: through this idea of why are we giving them money

79
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: to this group or that group, are insures companies or hospitals.

80
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Why don't we give directly to the people. Well, why

81
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: do we now send me my own money? You know,

82
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: it's like the tariff conversation. President Trump is like, oh,

83
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna send people two thousand dollars is a dividend

84
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: from all the wonderful tariff money we're taking in, but

85
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: I'd rather not be charged the tariff and then wait

86
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: till you learn who actually gets the tariff dividend.

87
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: It could be you, it might not be you. All

88
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: depends on what you make.

89
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: And it seems we have a very unique idea of

90
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: what rich is in America.

91
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: I will get to that.

92
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: But if you're going to discuss a different way to

93
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: do things other than Obamacare regarding getting dollars to Americans

94
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: to get health insurance, all right, we're at least discussing

95
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: Obamacare being out, even though I don't appreciate the concepts

96
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: at all about what govern should be doing. I think

97
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: we need less government intervention in this, not more. And

98
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: the people pushing for government run healthcare, those people are mad.

99
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: And when I say mad, I don't mean angry, I

100
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: mean crazed. Well, the costs will be less, the costs

101
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: will not be less. The costs might be less to you,

102
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: but the costs will be more to others. And if

103
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: you think that's okay, that's weird. You want to subsidize

104
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: this group at the expense of that group, I'm sorry,

105
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: that's unacceptable. That's an obscenity. Why would anybody think that

106
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: that's of value, that that's decent. They actually think that

107
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: they are moral people.

108
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: They are not.

109
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: The Republicans have done a lousy job of this, and

110
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: they've done a really lousy job of pushing the idea

111
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: that the market has a value. And we've got a

112
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: whole group of people on the political right now who

113
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: seem to be very opposed to the concept of markets. Man,

114
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: Do they need to get slapped around something fierce? Yeah, theoretically,

115
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: not talking about getting physical with anybody. Everybody just settled

116
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: down already.

117
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: Obombacare doesn't work. Republicans need to now go.

118
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Forward on this with strategy about hey, this would be

119
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: better for you, This is a better economic value to you.

120
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: This is where you save, and this is where you

121
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: get something better. Because sadly, we at least have to

122
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: accept that we have introduced him to America. You do

123
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: want to talk about the very evil of Barack Obama's presidency.

124
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: We've put into the American ethos the idea that government

125
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: is supposed to provide these things. This was the worst

126
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: part of it. This was the worst part about bail

127
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: APIs bailouts. If we go back to George Bush and

128
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: Barack Obama said to America, if anything goes wrong, don't worry,

129
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: We'll take care of it. And we introduced the idea

130
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: of too big to fail full nonsense. AIG wasn't too

131
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: big to fail, Leavin Brothers, bear Stearns, They weren't too

132
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: big to fail. Intel is not too big to fail.

133
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: If you can't do it, you can't do it. And

134
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: the idea that someone won't take the place there isn't

135
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity for a better operator.

136
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: Dismiss this out of hand.

137
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: It's just nutty nutty. But let's go one thing at

138
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: a time. Here, here we are taking a look at

139
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,119
Speaker 1: the House of voting to end this shutdown.

140
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: I for one, am very pleased. I want to see

141
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: it end.

142
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: And I like the fact that the Democrats are this angry.

143
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: I like the fact that they're upset.

144
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: I want to see what they do with this, because

145
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: what they could do with this gets far more ridiculous

146
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: than anything you've ever imagined, because losing is not what

147
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: they are used to.

148
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: Republicans being united is really not what they are used to.

149
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 2: So we're gonna see if they get to the call. There.

150
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: We've got the White House briefing today and we're supposed

151
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: to JD. Vans is gonna be talking about MA and

152
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: thank goodness because this is something that connects and works,

153
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: and it's a pretty important piece heading into the midterms.

154
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: And if President Trump wants to talk about lowering costs,

155
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: this is one of the ways to do it. Even

156
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: though I may not be okay with the idea that

157
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: government is using some level of force and tell health

158
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: insurance companies to do x Y and Z or drug

159
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: manufacturers to do X Y and Z.

160
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: What people are gonna say is the fact shot costs less. Wooo'.

161
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: That's what they're gonna say. And I'm assuming they're gonna

162
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: go wooo that. I believe that's what's going to be said.

163
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: So I've got all that coming up, and if we

164
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: start hearing and seeing a vote in the House, I

165
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: will bring it to you.

166
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony

167
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: Katz today. I am fully.

168
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: Aware that The New York Times is pushing a story

169
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: in emails regarding Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and I am

170
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: fully aware that people who never listen to this show,

171
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: never listen to this show.

172
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: Tony Katz Tony Katz Today, what's going on? Everybody? Glad

173
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: you're here.

174
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: Good to be with you. I am smoking from Oliva

175
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: or is it Oliva? The Master Blend three, the Church

176
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: Shill right here, this soft box press, which is.

177
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: Really more kind of an oval.

178
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: I had my first one yesterday, my second one today,

179
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: my third one coming up soon. These emails, and these

180
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: emails where Epstein is allegedly emailing, I think it's Julie Maxwell,

181
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: who's the one in jail who procured the young girls

182
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: for Epstein and his client base. And how allegedly Trump

183
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: had spent time with a victim and nobody had said

184
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: anything and done anything, and he hasn't mentioned anything, etc.

185
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: I have not read the story yet. That story came

186
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: out today. I have not gone through it yet. I've

187
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: seen what is the alleged email. I have stated on

188
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: this show from the beginning. I want the Epstein files.

189
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,239
Speaker 2: I have an entire history live streams.

190
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: You can go back and check YouTube dot com slash

191
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: Tony Katz, I absolutely want the files. When President Trump said,

192
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: well you want the files? Where files don't matter? Can

193
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: we all please be focused on things that matter? This

194
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, I said, that President Trump was wrong.

195
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: He was.

196
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: On my morning show just today wrong about Epstein and

197
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: certainly wrong was President Trump. Will get into it regarding

198
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: H one B visas and students from foreign countries going

199
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: to universities right here in the United States. The Epstein

200
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: thing was a very rare miss for the president, but

201
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: he missed, and you.

202
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: Had people immediately coming to his defense.

203
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Hey, President Trump says, we shouldn't care about this, we

204
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: shouldn't care about this. Well, you're wrong. I don't care

205
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: how big of a radio host you are. I don't

206
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: care how big of a so called influencer you are.

207
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: You're flat out wrong. Of course we should be paying

208
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: attention to this, and of course this matters.

209
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: To say all of a sudden, it doesn't matter.

210
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: Hey man, you're gonna need a different kind of idola

211
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: or I don't play that way.

212
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: And so people are not sending me these things, Well

213
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: what about this? What about that? Tony?

214
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: What I'm on record? I don't worry about what people

215
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: send me on social media. By the way, now that's jew.

216
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: I want the Epstein files, and I want them now.

217
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: We haven't released enough, not at all. And I don't

218
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: care what your last name is, And I don't care

219
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: how much money you have.

220
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: If you're involved in abusing children, you need to go

221
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 2: to jail.

222
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: I do agree with the people who say if they

223
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: had stuff on Donald Trump.

224
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: They would have released it already.

225
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: How in the world does an email like this come

226
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: out now? It didn't come out to try and keep

227
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: them out of office? Are you we magically only found now?

228
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe. It's hard to engage that way.

229
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: So there we are on Epstein. I have not gone

230
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: through the New York Times article yet, which it's the

231
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: New York Times. The grains of salt that you would

232
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: need in only the fry guy at McDonald's has more grains.

233
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: Of salt.

234
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: That you would need to read a New York Times

235
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: article and believe it just because it's in the New

236
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: York Times. Need to go over it, need to look

237
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: into it. So I have not had the chance yet.

238
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm fully aware that it's out there. I want the

239
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: Epstein files, and anybody associated with the abusing of children

240
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: needs me in jail.

241
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: I don't give a.

242
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: Damn who they are, who their daddy is doesn't mean

243
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: a thing to me.

244
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: Abby Phillip went on with joy Reid.

245
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Now, Abby Phillip is the one who hosts the show

246
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: there on CNN, and that show it is only worthwhile

247
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: because Scott Jennings is a revelation. Scott Jennings and his

248
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: ability to just push back every bit of nonsense that

249
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: the political left puts forward, and they put forward a tremendous,

250
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of nonsense. I mean it is, it is

251
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: very impressive. Here, I'll give you an example. This took

252
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: place on the that Abby Phillips show. Check this out

253
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: right here.

254
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 4: He has put Trump has put you in a very

255
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 4: difficult position because my.

256
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 5: Colleagues have said here right.

257
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 4: If Joe Biden or any other Democrat would have said this.

258
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: You'd be like, that's ridiculous.

259
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 6: I don't know you very well, but I can assure

260
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 6: you that the condition of Donald Trump being the president

261
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 6: versus Joe Biden, in no way, shape or form sucks

262
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 6: for me or Jim Well, well, I.

263
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 4: Think it's I think it's quite difficult to defend somebody

264
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: who puts you in a position of saying we should

265
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 4: put somebody else besides the Americans, especial, especially when he's

266
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: just it's the dollars to bail out Argentina.

267
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: I think it.

268
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 6: First of all, it was a currency swap which we

269
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 6: made a profit on. Number two, it's quite easy for

270
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 6: me to be perfectly comforted with the President of the

271
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 6: United States, who's presiding over a broad coalition that does

272
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 6: have disparate views the previous administration. You don't even you

273
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 6: could consider and tell me who the hell was in charge.

274
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: I know who's right, and.

275
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 5: I'm not going to defend it. I'm not sitting here

276
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 5: to defend that.

277
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: It seems like you are. It seems like you are.

278
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: When I say that Scott Jennings is incredible at his job,

279
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: he is.

280
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: But this was Abby Philip On with Joy read let

281
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: us begin.

282
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 7: Conservatives are living in a completely different information world, absolutely liberals,

283
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 7: and breaking that down needs to be done because when

284
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 7: you don't ever even hear the facts, it's hard to

285
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 7: even know that you're wrong, and that happens a lot.

286
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 7: I mean, half my job sometimes is knowing what the

287
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 7: latest conspiracy is so that if it comes up, I'm

288
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 7: ready to address it, because it happens a lot where

289
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 7: people don't even know that what they're saying or what

290
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 7: they've seen and believe is not true, and so that

291
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 7: happens a lot, and I don't come away from that saying,

292
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 7: what's the point of this? People are just saying false things.

293
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 5: I think that.

294
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 7: One time that that person brings up something that is

295
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 7: debunked and false and I debunk it at the table,

296
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 7: it might be the very first time that saye out

297
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 7: there has heard an alternative point of view.

298
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: It's conservatives who aren't engaged in facts. Huh hey, Barry Weiss,

299
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: it now might be a good time to make another

300
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: run on Scott Jennings to come on over to CBS News,

301
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: because he shouldn't stick around.

302
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: If you want to make the argument.

303
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: That the facts exist somehow solely and exclusively with the

304
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: political left, you can, But we all know that that's

305
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: not true. And this idea that somehow the political right

306
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: isn't dealing with reality is equally not true. And the

307
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: fact that Abby Philip is saying the goal of my

308
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: show quasi what she's saying, the goal of the show

309
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: is to expose the truth to the political right.

310
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: Okay, we're done.

311
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 4: Ye.

312
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm impressed she said it, because I didn't actually

313
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: know what the goal of the show was.

314
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: But if that's the goal of the show.

315
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: My gosh, she's not doing it because the only reason

316
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: anybody watches is for Scott Today an.

317
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 8: Appalachia not only for poor health. It's got the worst

318
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 8: health data of any region the country, the highest cardi actacies, obese,

319
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 8: the highest diabetes, the highest stroke rates, but also addiction

320
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 8: and alcoholism.

321
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 9: And the suicide It leads the nation for those things.

322
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 9: And so I know it's something that you've spent a

323
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 9: lot of time thinking about. How do we know because

324
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 9: if we can solve problems in Appalachia, we can solve

325
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 9: them for the whole country.

326
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. In the public health.

327
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 5: Stuff in particular is very bad.

328
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 10: And if you look at where life expectancy has gotten

329
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 10: the worst in the United States, Appalachia is sort of

330
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 10: at the top of the list. And the way that

331
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 10: I realize this actually, so my dad died of cancer

332
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 10: a few years ago, and it was one of these

333
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 10: sort of super aggressive cancers, came on very unexpectedly, and

334
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 10: then you know, all of a sudden, he was he

335
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 10: was gone a few months later. But I was talking

336
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 10: too with my wife with Usha about this, and Usha

337
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 10: she was like, have you ever had like a really

338
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 10: important male figure in your life survived at the age

339
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 10: of seventy like so, and I'm looking at and I'm like, Okay,

340
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 10: my grandfather died at sixty seven from a very preventable illness,

341
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 10: but sixty seven from a very preventable, very treatable illness.

342
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 10: I think all of my aunts or all of my uncles,

343
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 10: and not a single one of them that I could

344
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 10: think of, made it to sixty nine.

345
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 2: Maybe one of them made it to seventy or seventy one.

346
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 2: And Robert F.

347
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior, speaking at an event the MAHA Summit in DC,

348
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: Tony Katz Tony Kats today, good to be with you.

349
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 2: This is the kind of stuff that is very, very

350
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: hell well. This is the kind of stuff that.

351
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: Connects with the American people. Make America healthy again is successful.

352
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: People see it, they want to be a part of it,

353
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: they want it for their kids. These are good things.

354
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: So the importance of this. It also fits in with

355
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: the idea of lowering costs in general, but creating better

356
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: outcomes and better outcomes.

357
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: For everybody. Better outcomes.

358
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: For poor Americans, better outcomes for rich Americans, better outcomes

359
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: all the way around.

360
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: And that's a winning, winning argument. You know a person

361
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: that they fall in love with. That is a very clear.

362
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: Winning argument and one that needs to be better addressed

363
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: by the administration. Oddly enough, I can't even believe him

364
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: saying the words more RFK in every single way, more

365
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Because the arguments that he's making

366
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: are much better arguments. They're winners, and this administration needs

367
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: some winning arguments. There was a lot of talk and

368
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: we shared this about some polling that came out the

369
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: other day. And the polling that came out the other

370
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: day was about President Trump and the economy and it

371
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: not being great. And I believe this to be true,

372
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: that people see the economy is not great. The polls, however,

373
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: say to me, not something that's terminal. Well, the midterms

374
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: are lost, but no, something that is very much convertible. First,

375
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: you have to be able to sell your story. What

376
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: prices have gone down, gas prices, why are you talking

377
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: about it more?

378
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: What you're doing with drugs or prescription drugs? Got talked

379
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: about that more.

380
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: But beef prices are out of control, and you can't scream, well,

381
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: look what the beef producers are doing. What are we

382
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: doing to reduce inflation. What are we doing to reduce

383
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: regulation to make these things easier? Show your work, it's

384
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: really important. So President Trump is not pleased about.

385
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: This, as you can imagine.

386
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Well, over there at CNN, they note that President Trump

387
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: is not pleased about it. They're fully aware that he

388
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: is not pleased about it. So Harry Enton, who is

389
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: their numbers guy over there, takes to the television screen

390
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: and says, hey, uh, don't get mad at me.

391
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: No, no, not at all.

392
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 11: And if I had one piece of advice to my

393
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 11: fellow fast food lover, it would be in the words

394
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 11: of Michael Jordan.

395
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: Stop it. Stop going after the polls.

396
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 11: You have a real problem because take a look here

397
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 11: Americans on inflation. You know, you go back to October

398
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 11: of twenty twenty four. Who did Americans trust war inflation,

399
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 11: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? They trusted Donald Trump by

400
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 11: nine points on average. You jump over to this.

401
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 12: Side of the screen, those same exact poles have them

402
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 12: way way away underwater, twenty six points underwater, and his

403
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 12: net approval on inflation. So it's not that the polls

404
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 12: are fake, it's that the American people have turned against you.

405
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: Mister president.

406
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 11: You've gone from leading by nine points in inflation to

407
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 11: being twenty six points underwater. You're doing something very wrong

408
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 11: in the minds of the American public.

409
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 5: Hey, negative twenty six.

410
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: That's a problem. It's a huge problem.

411
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 5: Let's go down this path of hypotheticals.

412
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 13: Right, if the pulling is off allah twenty twenty four,

413
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 13: what would that mean for the president?

414
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, exactly, So you see this switcheroo, right, going

415
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 11: from plus nine minus twenty six. That's a move of

416
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 11: over thirty points in the wrong direction. But let's say

417
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 11: the poles are off. Let's take up Donald Trump on

418
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 11: his hypothetical. Correct, Oh, the poles always underestimate me. Well,

419
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 11: here's Trump's not appropriate rating on inflation. Currently, he's twenty

420
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 11: six points below water. If the poles are off like

421
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 11: they were in twenty twenty four, he still got a

422
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 11: titanic size problem. He's then twenty four points underwater on inflation. So, yes,

423
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 11: the poles underestimated him, but just by about a point

424
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 11: and a half in twenty twenty four. He would still

425
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 11: have a massive, massive, massive problem on inflation, even if

426
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 11: the poles were off.

427
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: Like they were a year ago.

428
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: Now, the story here is that this is surmountable and

429
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: it has to be addressed.

430
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: Like that, this is not well, it's over.

431
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: Oh what a foolhardy thing to say, foolhardy thing to

432
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: go out there and say and believe.

433
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: But President Trump took a swing and a miss the

434
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: other day in this interview with with lour Ingram was

435
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 2: really something else.

436
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: And all the kudos in the world to lour Ingram

437
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: because she handled this with a plumb and she was

438
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: able to push back with a sophistication. And one of

439
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: the subjects was h one be Visas is never going.

440
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 14: To be a country like what we have right now?

441
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: And does that Republicans have to talk about it?

442
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 15: And does that mean the h one be Visa thing

443
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 15: will not be a big priority for your administration. Is

444
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 15: if you want to raise wages for American workers, you

445
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 15: can't flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds

446
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 15: of eye.

447
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 2: And we also do have to bring in talent when

448
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: we've got to be a talent and you know, you

449
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: know you don't. We don't have talent. No, you don't

450
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: have you don't have certain talents.

451
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 14: And you have to people have to learn. You can't

452
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 14: take people off an unimploied, like an un bloyment line

453
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 14: and say I'm going to put you into a factory.

454
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 14: We're going to make missiles or going.

455
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: To How did we ever do it before? Well, I'll

456
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: give you an example.

457
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 14: In Georgia, they raided because they wanted illegal immigrants out.

458
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 14: They had people from South Korea that need batteries all

459
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 14: their lives. You know, making batteries are very complicated. It's

460
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 14: not an easy thing and very dangerous. A lot of explosions,

461
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 14: a lot of problems. They had like five or six

462
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 14: hundred people early stages to make batteries and to teach

463
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 14: people how to do it.

464
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: Well, they wanted them to get out of the country.

465
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: Are you going to need that lure? I mean, I

466
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 2: know you and I disagree on this.

467
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 14: You can't just say country's coming in, going to invest

468
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 14: ten billion dollars to build a plant and going to

469
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 14: take people off an unemployment line who haven't worked in

470
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 14: five years, and they're going to start making their missiles.

471
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with the basic concept.

472
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: I disagree in large measure that you would say out

473
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: loud Americans camp No, it isn't totality of what he said,

474
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: but it's absolutely the thing that's going to be remembered.

475
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: It was a mistake. And when we talk about that

476
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: plant in Georgia, the hyundaid plants, I believe they.

477
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 2: Were here illegally. Why if they were.

478
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: So important to the to the training of American workers,

479
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: why would they be here illegally.

480
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: That's the issue. This is a miss from the president,

481
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: but there was a greater miss and it happened here.

482
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: Wait a second, let me try that again. Better.

483
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 15: Folks are not thrilled about this idea of hundreds of

484
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 15: thousands of foreign students in the United States. We have

485
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 15: about three hundred and fifty thousand Chinese. At one point

486
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 15: during COVID you were going to you know, we'll push

487
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 15: to get them out, but that was pulled back. You've

488
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 15: said as many as six hundred thousand Chinese students could

489
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 15: come to the United States. Why, sir, is that a

490
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 15: pro MAGA position when so many American kids want to

491
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 15: go to school and there are places not for them,

492
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 15: and these universities are getting rich off Chinese money.

493
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 14: Sure, I never said about China, but we do have

494
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 14: a lot of people coming in from China. We always

495
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 14: have China and other countries. We also have a massive

496
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 14: system of colleges and universities, and if we were to

497
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 14: cut that in half, which perhaps makes some people happy,

498
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 14: you would have half the colleges in the United States

499
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 14: school out of business.

500
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that's a big deal.

501
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Laura Ingram is right and the president is wrong.

502
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: There could be some people in Magaville who say, how

503
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: dare you? You're misrepresenting his words. No, if you believe

504
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: you shore taking foreign students for the sake of keeping

505
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: universities in business, you're wrong.

506
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: That isn't what we do. I don't need the universities

507
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: to be in business. I've seen what.

508
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: They produce, and many of them don't produce anything of value.

509
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: We don't need that, and we certainly shouldn't be keeping

510
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: universities in business by propping them up with foreign students,

511
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: many of whom are not believers in America, work against

512
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: America's interests. And in the case of the Communist Chinese

513
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: have connections to the Communist Chinese Party.

514
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: Let me say it again for the people in the

515
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: cheap seats.

516
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: No one connected to the Communist Chinese Party should be

517
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: allowed to go to school in the United States. No

518
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: one connected to the Communist Chinese Party should allowed.

519
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: To be owned land.

520
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: They should shouldn't be allowed to own land. They shouldn't

521
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: be allowed to own a business in the United States.

522
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: There's a national security issue here, and I don't want

523
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: to hear from anybody about how oh you're being anti Chinese,

524
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: anti communists every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

525
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: I apologize to no one. And if I have to

526
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: tell you nose to nose pick the street corner, I'm in.

527
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: The President is wrong here. You don't just allow people

528
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: enjoy universities because some university wants to be able to

529
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: charge a.

530
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: Full freight and add a state tuition and all the

531
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: rest stop it. That's not an answer.

532
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: It's not an answer to say we need the H

533
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: one B visas because Americans can't do the job.

534
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: That's nutty.

535
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: If you want to offer some visas so we can

536
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: train Americans on specific things that were being done in

537
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: other countries, fine by me, a rational argument, and then

538
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: we train our people and then we train more Americans.

539
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: Isn't that the whole purpose? But this is not just

540
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: a miss. This is a massive miss.

541
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: It was a miss on the Epstein files, and it's

542
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: a miss here, and I would argue that the MAGA

543
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: people are pretty.

544
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: Upset about this.

545
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: I think rational people should look at this and say,

546
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: this is a mistake, an absolutely giant mistake from the President.

547
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 2: He missed here. He's just wrong. His advisors are wrong.

548
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear from anybody the administration talking

549
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: about well, you see what he's saying is.

550
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: I don't need anywhey to go back and explain it.

551
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: He's wrong. We should say so and not be afraid

552
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: to say so. I voted for President Trump. I feel

553
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: I'm better off.

554
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: I feel that I still have better opportunities now than

555
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: I ever would have had with Joe Biden or whoever

556
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: was running the country at the time, and better opportunities

557
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: than Kamala Harris. Absolutely, when he makes a mistake, I

558
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: say so. And the people who say you can't say so,

559
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: pay no mind to them. This was a miss from

560
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: President Trump. He needs to correct this immediately. I'm Tony Katz,

561
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: and this is Tony Kats today.

562
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 11: We believe the long national nightmare will be over tonight.

563
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 14: It was completely and utterly fooled.

564
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: So you've got Mike Johnson, he's the speaker saying that

565
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: our long national nightmare will be over tonight. Well, okay, okay,

566
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: I'd be happy to see the shutdown beyond Tony Katz,

567
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, great to be with you. Ads for

568
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: Representative of Cassio Cortes.

569
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 16: I think it's important that we understand that this is

570
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 16: not just about Senator Schumer, but that this is about

571
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 16: the Democratic Party and Senator Schumer. There's no one vote

572
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 16: that ended this shutdown.

573
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 17: We are talking about an coordinated effort of eight senators

574
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 17: with the knowledge of Leader Schumer, voting to write with

575
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 17: the entire Democratic Party in exchange for nothing and now

576
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 17: people's healthcare costs.

577
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: Let me try and explain to what just happened. There

578
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 2: no way, I don't have to do I you know

579
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: exactly what.

580
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 5: You didn't need me.

581
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: Honestly, this is the best part of the day. You

582
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: didn't need me to tell you. What is it that

583
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: Representative Cassio Cortez said right here?

584
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: Right? What did she say right here?

585
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 16: I think it's important that we understand that this is

586
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 16: not just about Senator Schumer, but that this is about

587
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 16: the Democratic Party.

588
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 5: Senator Schumer.

589
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 16: There's no one vote that ended the shutdown.

590
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 17: We are talking about an coordinated effort of eid senators

591
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 17: with the knowledge of Leader Schumer, voting to white with

592
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 17: the entire Democratic Party in exchange for nothing.

593
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: In case you don't know what it means, because I

594
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: know you do.

595
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: She's talking only about Senator Schumer, and she's running for

596
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: the Senate. She is blaming every bit of Democrats splitting

597
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: and not listening to their leader on Schumer. She's blaming

598
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: all this failure on Schumer. She's running for the Senate.

599
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: There is no question, zero question. She's doing this. And

600
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: by the way, don't say, oh, that's great, She's going

601
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: to be formidable. She's going to be an issue. You

602
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: got the White House Press briefing that is scheduled to happen,

603
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: and we might hear from Democrats angry before they go

604
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: vote in the House.

605
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: Keep it here.

606
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: This is Tony Kats today. Why from Vaul Hartbeyer and

607
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: the Crossroads of America. It's Tony Katz today. The White

608
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: House briefing expected soon. Caroline Lovett, the Press Secretary, to

609
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: take the stage. Right now, it's just an empty podium,

610
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: which happens from time to time. Democrats were supposed to

611
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: come out and have a whole conversation about the shutdown

612
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: and their thoughts and everything else in that's not happening.

613
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: That's not happening. Now now there the House Democratic leader

614
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: having a news conference.

615
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: Jakim Jefferies has been doing this still trying to convince

616
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: America that there is some what's the word Republican healthcare crisis.

617
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: It's always bad when you sneeze during the middle of

618
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: a radio show. Everybody who that's rough Tony Katz, Tony

619
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: Katz Today, good to be with you. Find everything I

620
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: do over at Tony Katz dot com. The briefing is

621
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: interesting because I do believe that there are a couple

622
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: of places where the White House is absolutely on their heels,

623
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: especially after that interview that President Trump did with lor

624
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: Ingram on Fox very specifically to the idea of allowing

625
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: in foreign students, and it's good for our universities otherwise

626
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: they'll go out of business. And you need foreigners with

627
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: H one B visas to train Americans because we don't

628
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: know how to get some things done. Even if you

629
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: were going to make that first argument, you can't make

630
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: the claim that you can't make it even sound like

631
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: he didn't make the claim. I want to be clear,

632
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: President Trump didn't make the claim that Americans can. He's

633
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: saying on certain things, some people don't have the training,

634
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: and you need the people to do the training. He's

635
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: not wrong about that idea. I don't think he presented

636
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: it well in the slightest. I think he made a very,

637
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: very big mistake there. So we wait to hear this

638
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: this press conference, because not only about that, but about

639
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: the idea of foreign students going to US universities.

640
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 2: This is just a non starter, a non starter.

641
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: While we wait for that, I'm going to share with

642
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: you a story about a woman by the name of

643
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: Tish Hyman, and now she is the one. If you

644
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: caught the story last week, you heard the story of

645
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: a woman who was thrown out of a gold gym

646
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and she was thrown out because she

647
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: was complaining that there was a man inside the women's

648
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 1: locker room. She is, by her own admission, very very allowed,

649
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: a lesbian, and she is black, and she wants you

650
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: to know this as a matter of fact. She starts

651
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: this conversation with a guy by name a Senator Scott Wiener.

652
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: He's a state senator in California.

653
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: He is the guy most probably going to run for

654
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:50,959
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's seat.

655
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 2: And she starts with letting you know who she is

656
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 2: and what she's about.

657
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 18: Senator Wayman, that's the only black lesbian. Please ask you

658
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 18: a question, because I flew here to do that. Okay,

659
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 18: As a lesbian woman who was attacked in a woman's

660
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 18: locker room at Golds Gym this week by a self

661
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 18: identifying trends women with a documenting history of domestic violence,

662
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 18: I'm deeply concerned about women's safety and female only faces.

663
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 18: What would you say to women who are seeking assurance

664
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 18: that their safety will be protected from men who, by

665
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 18: California law, can self idea as women and women only faces?

666
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: Sir, Please tell me.

667
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: How do you handle this their state, Senator. California law

668
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: allows for these things.

669
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: But women are being abused and women are being.

670
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: Attacked inside, whether it be a locker room, a bathroom,

671
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: et cetera. Now I agree that why she has to

672
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: say as a black lesbian, I don't know. She's very

673
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: into the identity politics. What she's about to find find

674
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: out is that the identity politics is nothing compared to

675
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: other identity politics.

676
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: For Senator Scott Wiener.

677
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 19: Yeah, so we want, I mean, everyone to be safe.

678
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 19: And we also know that you know, we have trans

679
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 19: trans people both.

680
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 20: Men and women to our men and women and so

681
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 20: uh you know, so if you're a trans women are.

682
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: Women sat He wants you to know the trans women

683
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: or women, when of course that's not true. Now, Scott

684
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: Wiener has a long history of pushing this kind of

685
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: thing of radicalness in this regard, there comes a moment

686
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: where the crowd when Tis Hyman states quite clearly, what

687
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: are you going to do to protect women? The crowd

688
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: booze her when she recognizes that trans women not women,

689
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: and we.

690
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 2: Want to know, are you going to protect women not

691
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 2: trans women? Women? Women? Trans women are to thing women.

692
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 2: Women Listen, we need.

693
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 5: To protect women's safety.

694
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: I was assaulted. No, they are not, they are men.

695
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: I was assaulted.

696
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: She's getting booed for speaking the truth of this, maybe

697
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: the first time that ever happened to her.

698
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 2: She stands up, but she starts yelling at this crowd.

699
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 19: I mean.

700
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: One of the things she yells is unless you're a

701
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 1: black woman, don't talk to me, which is again identity politics.

702
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: And what she is learning is that her identity politics

703
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: don't mean as much as these identity politics.

704
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm I'm sorry that you were multiple times, and I

705
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: appreciate you.

706
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 9: Talking about it.

707
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 19: I think we need to detect the city.

708
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 2: Women, and.

709
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 19: Obviously that's incredibly according. I also know that trans women

710
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 19: are also brutalized in this country. So women and women

711
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 19: are brutalized in this country.

712
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we need to protect women, but trans women

713
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: are brutalized, and so we need to protect all women.

714
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: And then he has the the You might not have

715
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: caught it. The audio is a little low, and I

716
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: apologize women and cisgendered. Women are brutalized in this country.

717
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: So men who claim to be women are actually women,

718
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: but women who are actually women they have to be

719
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: called cisgendered somehow they need the different name, the man

720
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: being the woman that's a woman, the woman who is

721
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: a woman. Well that's something a little bit different. If

722
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: you want to know how broken, how diseased this ideology is, there,

723
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: it is men are women and women are a part

724
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: of some kind of different group, and they should just

725
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: shut up and take it and into the crowd supporting

726
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: that very idea. It's horrifying and it is exactly where

727
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: the left is now. Someone's gonna say to me, Tony,

728
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: these things don't matter. And the election in Virginia proves

729
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: it because Winsome Earl Sears, the Republican, the tenant governor

730
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: who is running for governor against Abigail Svamberger, ran on

731
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: this and lost.

732
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's all that you're running on, you might very

733
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: well lose.

734
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: And the more I hear about that race and how

735
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: poorly her staff did and the total lack of outreach

736
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: and everything else, maybe resting on Laurels that somehow this

737
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: was gonna be one because Glenn Youngkin is already the

738
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: governor and of course nobody wants this madness from the left.

739
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 2: Mistake.

740
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: You have to run every race like you're down twenty points,

741
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: non stop, every day, all the time, without questions, selling

742
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: your story.

743
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: And you got to make sure you understand where Americans

744
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 2: are at.

745
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: And there are plenty people in Virginia because of the

746
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: shot down on other issues, having economic issues.

747
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: You gotta be in that fight. That doesn't mean that

748
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: these cultural fights aren't valuable.

749
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: And what center Scott Wiener, who I find despicable in

750
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: his past commentaries and past actions, Men are women?

751
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: How dare you say otherwise?

752
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 10: Oh?

753
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: And then there's women and cisgendered women. No, no, no,

754
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: there are women and there are men, and that is it.

755
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: And the mid terms are gonna matter. San Francisco is

756
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: going to vote for somebody who is telling you, ladies

757
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 1: that if you're an actual woman, you don't count as much.

758
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: He said the words, it's not me. How dare you

759
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: be upset that? I notice it's him? It is them.

760
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: It is the progressive left Democrats. I don't know where

761
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: they are. Oh, I'm sure there's a few, but they

762
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: ain't the ones charge. They're not the ones with the power,

763
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: and they're not the ones searching for the power. You

764
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: allow Democrats to get control of the House. As I've said,

765
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: they'll be inaugurated on January third, twenty twenty seven, and

766
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: they will impeach Donald Trump on January third, twenty twenty seven.

767
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: It's going to happen if they win. And if they win,

768
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: this is the kind of stuff they believe. This is

769
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: the kind of radicalness, whether you call it the Marxism

770
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: or anything else that they believe in. Can't give these

771
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: people power and women, you understand that this is just hate.

772
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: That man hates you and the people who believe in

773
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: this trans nonsense, as if somehow we ought to change

774
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: our lives and actually believe that men can be women.

775
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: They hate you.

776
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: I don't think you should hate yourself, and I don't

777
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: think you should hate your daughters. I don't think you

778
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: should take a back seat. I don't think you should

779
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: lay down and take it. So how about you don't

780
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: vote for them in the midterms. White House briefing is

781
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: coming up. I will bring it to you. Keep it

782
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: right here.

783
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz today, the press briefing about to begin.

784
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: Waiting on Press Xtra.

785
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: Caroline Lovett, Tony Katz, Tony Kats Today, good to be

786
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: with you live streaming over at YouTube YouTube dot com

787
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: slash Tony Katz and you could actually see it all

788
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: happening right there.

789
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: And as we wait for this to take place, we

790
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 2: have the story out of Utah.

791
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: It's a conversation about redistricting where a judge gave Democrats

792
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: a win, as is being described Utah District Court jug

793
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: by name of Diana Gibson rejecting the Republican approved congressional map.

794
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: Your map, No, but a map.

795
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: That carves out a Democrat leaning district. Yes, So what

796
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: Gibson decided is that the Utah map that they put

797
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: forward does not comply with Utah law, saying it was

798
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: drawn with part of send political data on display. It

799
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: does not abide probably a certain proposition traditional restricting redistricting

800
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: criteria to the greatest extent, practical, practicable. That's what it says,

801
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: and it says bates On Evans presented the court finds

802
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 1: of the Republican House map was drawn with the purpose

803
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: to favor Republicans.

804
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: Every map ever has been drawn to favor the party

805
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: in power. This is not new.

806
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: This would give Democrats a pick up. Now, you start

807
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: this redistricting fight, and you have to accept the fact

808
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: that you might lose.

809
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 2: If you redistrict the state.

810
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: Like Texas who said that Republicans are absolutely going to win,

811
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: you redistrict California who said Democrats are going to win

812
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: my state.

813
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: Indiana is still debating this. I think the answer is

814
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 2: very clear. Yeah, you have to do it, and you

815
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 2: have to do it right now. Of course you have

816
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 2: to do it. Unquestionable, you have to do it.

817
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: It's not like the Democrats are going to say, well,

818
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: they didn't redistrict.

819
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm not gonna show up to vote.

820
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: The argument's gonna be it has been, Oh, you're energizing

821
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: Democrats to vote. You're gonna energize the more on a

822
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: bad economy. You're gonna energize, the more on beef prices.

823
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna energize the more on a host of things.

824
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: Of course you are, of course you are. And you

825
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: can mollify that with saying, look how we lowered energy costs,

826
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: and look how we lowered drug costs, and look at this,

827
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: and look at that at being more proactive and engaging

828
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: out there. But if judges are going to say you

829
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: can't have your map, even though the drawing of the

830
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: map is a.

831
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 2: Legislative process, I mean, I do not know if this

832
00:48:54,440 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: goes to the Supreme Court or not. I do not

833
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: know how that's going to work.

834
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: I do know that there's a Utah Republican who is

835
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: now filed articles of impeachment against the judge, arguing she's

836
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: engaged in a gross abuse of power failing to uphold

837
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: her oath of office to the Utah Constitution.

838
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 2: I hope everybody.

839
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: Understands it's just because you put something out into the sphere,

840
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: you put an idea, out there. Doesn't mean that it's

841
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: one hundred percent going to work. You still have to

842
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: go about getting the votes. You still have to go

843
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: about doing the work, and you still have to understand

844
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: what it is you're up against. You opened up this

845
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: conversation here, you opened up this idea of redistricting.

846
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 2: You got to see it through. As for my state,

847
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: I am still a supporter of redistricting. I have not

848
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: been moved. I have not been swayed.

849
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 1: I have seen some people saying, well, the polling says

850
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: fifty one percent of the people of Indiana were called hoosiers.

851
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: By the way, they don't they don't favor that fifty

852
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: one percent.

853
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's enough to move me, so silly. The argument is,

854
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 2: if you have the power, do you utilize it?

855
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: That's the question. And you say to me, but Tony,

856
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: isn't that the whole problem. It's all about power and

857
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 1: you think you should utilize this power.

858
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 2: And that's just so awful and so terrible. I bring

859
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 2: to you.

860
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: Eric Holder, Eric Holder, the former Attorney General of the

861
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: United States.

862
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 2: Of this nation.

863
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 21: I think you know the reality is it pains me

864
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 21: to say this. I think the Supreme Court is a

865
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 21: broken institution, and it's something that has to be I

866
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 21: think a part of the national conversation in twenty six

867
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 21: and in twenty eight, what are we going to do

868
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 21: about the Supreme Court? And I think that we have

869
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 21: to think about again talking about the acquisition and the

870
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 21: use of power.

871
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 2: If there is a.

872
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 21: Democratic trifecta in twenty twenty eight, and I think the

873
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 21: possibility of that's pretty good. Supreme Court reform is something

874
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 21: that has to be considered. Term limits, I think, at

875
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 21: a minimum, potentially expanding the court is something I think that.

876
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: Also should be should be considered.

877
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: Democrats have no issue with using their power, only seemingly

878
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: Republicans have got an issue or a fear with using

879
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: their power. That's a problem. That is a massive level

880
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: of weakness. And you say, well, the Democrats are wrong

881
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: to do it, that's not the argument. We're not going

882
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: to disagree on that. The point is they are doing it.

883
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: That's the point. They are doing it.

884
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 2: They are utilizing the they're telling you they're going to

885
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,280
Speaker 2: use that power.

886
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 22: On counterpoint, let me bring in this laws the sas

887
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 22: Ambassador Purdue and the team here at the White House.

888
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 2: From right there. Let me bring it to you we'll

889
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 2: meet the policy needed to crush the plague of fentanyl.

890
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 22: Deputy Attorney General Blinch and our teams have been hard

891
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 22: at work ever since, ultimately culminating in my trip to

892
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 22: Beijing last week. This was only possible due to President

893
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 22: Trump's historic engagement with President she just a few short

894
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 22: weeks ago that set the stage for today's announcement. At

895
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 22: that meeting, the leaders reached an agreement. But just to

896
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 22: put this in frame for the American people, a reminder

897
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 22: here that nearly one hundred thousand people died of fentanyl

898
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 22: overdoses just last year alone. Here this year, under this president,

899
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 22: the FBI sees nineteen hundred kilograms of fentanyl so far.

900
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 2: That is a thirty one percent increase.

901
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 22: From the same time period last year. To put it

902
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 22: in perspective, that's enough fentanyl to kill one hundred and

903
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 22: twenty seven million Americans. Fentanyl precursors are what makes up fentanyl.

904
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 22: While we the Interagency, the Department of Justice have been

905
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 22: fighting hard to seize and stop drug traffickers, we must

906
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 22: attack fentanyl precursors, the ingredients necessary to make this lethal drug.

907
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 22: That was the sole purpose of my trip to China

908
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 22: to eliminate these precursors, and if successful, we would suffocate

909
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 22: the drug trafficking organiation's ability to manufacture fentanyl in places

910
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 22: like Mexico. This was the first time an FBI director

911
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,240
Speaker 22: has been to China in over a decade and receive

912
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 22: the audience with his counterpart to address this matter directly.

913
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: The real question here, FBI Director Cash would tell is

914
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: what's going to happen if China doesn't what will be

915
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: the response that the United States gives, which will most

916
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: probably be outside the purview of the FBI.

917
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 22: While at Ministry Public Security Headquarters, I met with my

918
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 22: counterpart at MPs where that Chinese government agreed on a

919
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 22: plan to stop fentanyl precursors.

920
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

921
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 22: The People's Republic of China has fully designated and listed

922
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 22: all thirteen precursors utilized to make fentanyl. Furthermore, they have

923
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 22: agreed to control seven chemical subsidiaries that are also utilized

924
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 22: to produce this lethal drug effective immediately. Essentially, President Trump

925
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 22: has shut off the pipeline that creates fentanyl that kills

926
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 22: tens of thousands of Americans.

927
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: We'll keep listening to a Cashpattel, FBI Director on if

928
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: he's got more, I'll bring it to you. Movement on

929
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: fentanyl is always a good thing. But how do you

930
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: ensure that China lives up to their word and how

931
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: much is still out there?

932
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 2: That's the question. Keep it here. This is Tony Kax today.

933
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 5: Onto the American public. But let's be clear.

934
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 13: The clean cr being voted on today in the House

935
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 13: of Representatives that will lead to the reopening of the

936
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 13: federal government is what President Trump and Republicans have supported

937
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 13: from day one. Our troops, air traffic controllers, and federal

938
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 13: employees will be back to receiving their regular paychecks, Families

939
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 13: in need will get back to receiving their food purchasing assistance,

940
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 13: and the people's government will soon be back open for business.

941
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: So starting with an announcer from FBI Director Cash Pttel

942
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: about the precursors of fentinel and getting the Ministry of

943
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: Commerce in China to say that they will make adjustments

944
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: and now require permits to be able to have those

945
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: things and to engage an export of those chemicals. Caroline

946
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: Levett there, White House Press sext. Sorry, moving into of

947
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: course the shutdown Democrats did this. Republicans are reopening the

948
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 1: government You're welcome, Tony Katz. Tony Katz today, great to

949
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: be with you. Let's take it back to Caroline Lovett

950
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: and the press briefing.

951
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 13: And that's exactly what President Trump has done since day

952
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 13: one of his administration. Since the first day in office,

953
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 13: in every day since, the Trump administration has taken aggressive

954
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 13: action to fix the Biden created cost of living issues.

955
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 13: The notion that the same Democrats who just shut down

956
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 13: the federal government to sabotage our economy, rob people of

957
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 13: their paychecks, and also helped Joe Biden ratchet up inflation

958
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 13: to nine percent are now suddenly affordability champions. That notion

959
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 13: is completely absurd and it's something only the liberal media

960
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 13: would have the goal to push. But the reality is

961
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 13: that President Trump and his administration have done so much

962
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 13: to lower prices and increase the economic prosperity of the

963
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 13: American people, and this president and his team of amazing

964
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 13: economic advisors are going to keep working on this issue

965
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 13: every single day. In less than ten short months, President

966
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 13: Trump signed the largest middle class tax cuts in American history,

967
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 13: including no tax on tips, over time and Social Security,

968
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 13: which will guarantee that next year Americans are going to

969
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 13: put more money back into their pockets. The President has

970
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 13: completely unleashed American energy dominance to help bring gasoline prices

971
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 13: to the lowest and five years, and.

972
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 5: We expect them to continue to decrease. And it has

973
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 5: also lowered energy costs overall.

974
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 13: There is more work to do, but again, the President's

975
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 13: deregulatory and pro American energy agenda is absolutely going to

976
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 13: continue to drive down prices. This formula worked in the

977
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 13: President's first term and we expect that it's going to

978
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 13: work again. And this is key because we know energy

979
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 13: costs are the number one driver of inflation. Again, just

980
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 13: look at what Joe Biden did to our energy industry

981
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 13: over the past four years of his administration and look

982
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 13: at what happened to inflation as a result.

983
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: So this is the White House continuing to now put

984
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: out some messaging things are better, your life is better off.

985
00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 2: Look at what we've done.

986
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: They're going to try and counter message, and they're going

987
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: to try and bring those toll numbers into a better line,

988
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: and they're going to get America to understand that they're

989
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: better off. Some lower grocery prices will go a long way,

990
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: Some lower insurance prices will go a long way movement

991
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: in those areas matter. But I don't think the President

992
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: is doing anything wrong by saying, hey, look at what

993
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: we've already done, even if it doesn't affect you, Look

994
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: at these things we've done. The no tax on tips,

995
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: that's a small segment of the population, insurance costs, large

996
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: segments of the population.

997
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:35,959
Speaker 5: Continue to work.

998
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 13: Wages are rising at the fastest pace of the start

999
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 13: of a presidential administration in sixty years. The cost of

1000
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 13: the typical new mortgage is down by nearly three thousand

1001
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 13: dollars per year. There's much work to do in this administration,

1002
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 13: will continue to do it, but President Trump has already

1003
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 13: made great progress in cleaning up the economic disaster that

1004
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 13: was created by Joe Biden.

1005
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 5: With that, I will take your questions today in our

1006
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 5: new media scenes.

1007
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 13: Who works outlet a UK outlet but based here in Washington,

1008
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 13: d C GB News BEV, thank you for being here today.

1009
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 5: Why don't you to kick us off?

1010
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 23: Thank you, Caroline.

1011
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 5: So the clock is ticking on the Friday dead.

1012
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 24: Light by which the BBC must retract and apologize for

1013
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 24: their malicious edits of President In the documentary shown last year,

1014
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 24: the recently resigned director General of the BBC yesterday described the.

1015
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 25: Organization as the very best of society and blamed the

1016
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 25: enemies of the BBC for this outcome. Also yesterday, a

1017
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 25: senior government minister launched a fierce defense of the channel.

1018
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 23: In the House of Commons, saying that the broadcaster remains

1019
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 23: a light on the hill for people all over the world.

1020
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 23: So does the President feel that the network is taking

1021
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 23: this situation seriously? Does he believe that they've shown sufficiently

1022
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 23: bred does this strain relationship between the President and the

1023
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 23: Prime Minister?

1024
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 2: And given that the the question about the BBC. But

1025
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Kiir Starmer has his own issues.

1026
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 5: I'll get to that and his conceives of truth and justice.

1027
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 13: Well, thank you, Bev. There's a lot of questions in

1028
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 13: one there. I will say I know the President has

1029
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 13: a very good relationship with Prime Minister Starmer. You have

1030
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 13: been there and you've seen them in their interactions. You've

1031
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 13: questioned both leaders in your time joining us when we've

1032
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 13: gone to the United Kingdom a few different times now. However,

1033
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 13: he has always been very frank when he disagrees with leaders,

1034
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 13: even whom he has a good relationship with, And the

1035
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 13: BBC being a fair news organization is definitely an outlet.

1036
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 5: I think these two leaders would disagree.

1037
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 13: The President has made it very clear that this is

1038
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 13: a leftist propaganda machine that is unfortunately subsidized by British

1039
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 13: tax payers, and he thinks that's extremely unfortunate for the

1040
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 13: great people of the United Kingdom in Great Britain. And

1041
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 13: I think that the President was deeply concerned by the editing,

1042
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 13: the purposeful and dishonest editing of his speech that was

1043
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 13: so clearly fake news. And he rightfully dubbed that term

1044
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 13: many years ago. And this is a classic example of that.

1045
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 13: We see it in the United States all the time,

1046
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 13: we see it now in the United Kingdom. As you know,

1047
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 13: the President's external legal counsel has filed a lawsuit against

1048
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 13: the BBC. We expect that to continue, and whether they

1049
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 13: apologize or not is up to them. Thanks for being here,

1050
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 13: bev Weja.

1051
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 16: Thank you, Caroly Sure.

1052
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 5: I have your statement about the new st emails that

1053
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 5: have been a.

1054
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 2: This about Epstein emails that the New York Times rack.

1055
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 2: Can you address their substance?

1056
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 7: Did the President ever spend hours at Jeffrey Epstein's house

1057
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 7: with a victim?

1058
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 13: These emails proved absolutely nothing other than the fact that

1059
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 13: President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has

1060
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 13: always said is that he was from Palm Beach, and

1061
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 13: so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at

1062
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 13: Mar A Lago until President Trump kicked him out because

1063
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 13: Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile.

1064
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 5: And he was a creep. And this email you refer

1065
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 5: to with the name.

1066
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 13: Of a victim that was unredacted now and has since

1067
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 13: been reported on in this room, So I will go

1068
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 13: ahead and say it Virginia Guphrey. And it was CBS's

1069
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 13: own reporting WIJA that recently wrote that missus Guphfrey maintained,

1070
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 13: and God rest her soul, that she maintained that there

1071
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 13: was nothing inappropriate. She ever witnessed that President Trump was

1072
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 13: always extremely professional and friendly to her. And so I

1073
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 13: think it's a question worth asking the Democrat Party, and

1074
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 13: you should all go ask them after this briefing of

1075
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 13: why they chose to redact that name of a victim

1076
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 13: who has already publicly made statements about her relationship with

1077
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 13: Jeffrey Epstein.

1078
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 5: Is and is unfortunately no longer with us.

1079
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 13: Mary, Thank you got two questions on this in the

1080
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 13: interest of transparency, Why not just go ahead and release

1081
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 13: the full files on Epstein.

1082
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 5: Get this all over with.

1083
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 13: We have This administration has done more with respect to

1084
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:53,439
Speaker 13: transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein than any administration ever.

1085
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 13: In fact, this administration, the Department of Justice, has turned

1086
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 13: over tens of thousands of document to the American people.

1087
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 13: We are cooperating and joint support for the House Oversight Committee.

1088
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 13: That's part of the reason you are seeing these documents

1089
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 13: that were released today because of the House Oversite Committees.

1090
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 2: In this was after you said it didn't matter.

1091
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: So the pushback makes sense even if what it is

1092
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: being reported is an accurate which is what I said

1093
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:22,439
Speaker 1: about the New York Times piece.

1094
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 2: I haven't read it yet. It just came out.

1095
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I need to go over but trusting the New York

1096
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Times on its face, no, that's not happening. As for

1097
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: the BBC, the BBC shared some video President Trump from

1098
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: the January sixth and edited the video so it didn't

1099
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: show him saying peacefully protest, and the director of the

1100
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: BBC and another head of the BBC both resigned because

1101
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: of it.

1102
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 2: And they're trying to make the claim that we will

1103
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 2: not give in to these foreign powers and what they think.

1104
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: The BBC has been engaged in a tremendous amount of

1105
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: unfair reporting, fraudulent reporting.

1106
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 2: They did it right now on Trump.

1107
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: They did it regarding the Israelis and the war in

1108
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Gaza because of Hamas, and they're taking of terrorists and

1109
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 1: their murder and that's who Amas is and the support

1110
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: that Palestinians gave them. BBC has a lot to answer

1111
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: for here. So the argument is the BBC clearly is

1112
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: not in a business of being honest brokers, anything but

1113
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: being honest brokers. So that's where that bb story is

1114
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: a BBC story is. As for kir Starmer, more and

1115
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: more voices saying he has lost the government, he has

1116
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: lost the people. He is not protecting the British people.

1117
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: He's too busy protecting immigrants who push a value system

1118
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with British.

1119
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 2: Law but has everything to do with Islamic law.

1120
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: We've had enough of losing our country to these people,

1121
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: enough of people telling us that somehow we're the bad

1122
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: guys as British citizens. You could be sure that I

1123
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't say sure.

1124
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 2: You should not be.

1125
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: Surprised if you see a change or there some kind

1126
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: of movement in British government very very soon.

1127
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 2: Back to the briefing with a Caroline Levitt.

1128
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if the President had an input on this

1129
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: element of the deal and if he's at all disappointed

1130
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: that's the reverse the downsized and that during the shutdown.

1131
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 13: I mean, look, I think it's about six thousand workers

1132
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 13: total when you look at that in comparison to the reduction.

1133
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 2: In the federal shutdown.

1134
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 5: Piece of llustration has done since January to get rid

1135
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 5: of the waste.

1136
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 13: The fraud, the abuse, and to reduce the size of

1137
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 13: our federal bureaucracy. We've done a lot of great work

1138
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 13: on that front and we will continue to. But obviously

1139
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 13: the President's main priority was to reopen the federal government

1140
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 13: and get people back to work, and that's what this

1141
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 13: deal accomplishes.

1142
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 5: The middle is and there's workforce. Israeli media that the

1143
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 5: US is considering building a temper and military based on

1144
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 5: the gaus of order.

1145
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 17: You can confirm these reports.

1146
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 13: So I had a conversation directly with the reporter who

1147
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 13: wrote this article, and this article was based on a

1148
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 13: single piece of paper, an inquiry that somebody in the

1149
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 13: Department of Navy made about an idea that may happen

1150
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 13: in the future, and this reporter deemed that as an

1151
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 13: official plan and ran with a story that the United

1152
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 13: States is.

1153
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 5: Looking into it.

1154
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 13: I checked with the highest levels of the United States

1155
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 13: federal government. This is not something the United States is

1156
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 13: interested in being engaged in. It's not something we are

1157
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 13: currently involved in right now that we will be funding.

1158
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 13: And the President has been very clear he doesn't want

1159
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 13: to see boots on the ground with respect to what's

1160
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 13: happening in the Middle East. We've made great peace, We've

1161
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 13: made great progress with the peace Plan in Gaza, and

1162
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 13: we want to continue to see that move forward.

1163
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: But President doesn't want to see boots on the grounds.

1164
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: More coming up, keep it here. This is Tony kats today,

1165
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: seriously looking.

1166
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 5: Into sure thanks to Danny and then go ahead.

1167
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 12: Thank you.

1168
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 26: Some Democratic members of Congress have invited Britain's former Prince

1169
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 26: Andrew to testify on the Epstein scandal. Just wondering if

1170
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 26: President Trump thinks that the former Prince Andrew should indeed

1171
01:06:59,360 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 26: come and testify.

1172
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 19: It's coed gross on that.

1173
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 13: I haven't spoken to him about that specific matter, but

1174
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 13: I can ask him and get.

1175
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 16: Back to you.

1176
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 2: On the White House Press creeping continues. Tony goats Tony.

1177
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: Gots today to questions being asked the Press Secretary.

1178
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 27: Of Caroline Love that while the r policy while the

1179
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 27: government was shut down, now, assuming that it reopens tonight,

1180
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 27: as the President intending to invite any Democrats over to

1181
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 27: have negotiations.

1182
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 5: Over these subsidies or any other plan to bring down

1183
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 5: the cost.

1184
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 13: Of health insurance, I will just add that, as you

1185
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 13: pointed out, the Democrats were holding our country hostage to

1186
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 13: try to negotiate on a healthcare system that they created. Obamacare,

1187
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 13: as it's famously called, is a system the Democrats created.

1188
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 5: It is a broken system.

1189
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 13: It has driven up healthcare costs dramatically in this country,

1190
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:46,959
Speaker 13: and now they shut the government down to try.

1191
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 5: To fix that system they broke. It doesn't make any

1192
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 5: sense to.

1193
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Us, which is and I think it's a good argument

1194
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: to say, what are you talking about negotiating with these people?

1195
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Look what they did, Look what they favor, Look what

1196
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: they're about when it comes to healthcare. None of this

1197
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: had to do with us. It was all that America

1198
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: gets it. It's the Democrats fault. Now, Progressives don't get it,

1199
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: but they don't get much. And this is the messaging

1200
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: that you have to keep putting out there. And it

1201
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: also happens to be good for the Trump administration and

1202
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: for Republicans because they are correct. America is going to

1203
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: side more with the fact that Democrats put this thing together.

1204
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 2: It doesn't work. They are the ones that didn't vote

1205
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 2: to reopen the government. It's on them. And now Democrats are.

1206
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: Angry that we're reopening the government because Democrats are rather

1207
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:29,759
Speaker 1: children starve.

1208
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 2: What it's their terminology, I'm just using it.

1209
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 5: On this clarifying he wants to do both things.

1210
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 13: With the tariff revenue that he's bringing into this country,

1211
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 13: trillions of dollars are expected to continue to pour in,

1212
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 13: and it's part of the reason that the Supreme Court

1213
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,919
Speaker 13: case is so vital for our country's future. To restore

1214
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 13: our manufacturing industry in this country, to protect our national security,

1215
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 13: to continue to allow the President to use tariffs as

1216
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 13: leverage to negotiate economic deals that are again are good

1217
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 13: for an national security, and that revenue can then be

1218
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 13: used for various reasons, to pay down our debt and

1219
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 13: also perhaps to give these rebate checks back to Americans,

1220
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 13: which again the White House is.

1221
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 2: Best, Starry said, they may not be rebate checks not great.

1222
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 5: Financial shield to the need to restart.

1223
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: It's not It's not great on tariff because it still

1224
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 1: leads the idea that we're paying more. In the end,

1225
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: we're paying more, and it's hard to argue it's so

1226
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: much better for the country. The trade deals are good

1227
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: only if we see results. If the White House wants

1228
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: to share something, let's talk about the result of a

1229
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: trade deal. We set this deal because of tariffs, and

1230
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: now we see the result in X, here's the actual result.

1231
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: Share that, Caroline Levit, Share that White House and you

1232
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: will now see movement in a positive direction that hasn't

1233
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: happened yet only a the top line, we're taking in money.

1234
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: Look at us. That that is that is that is

1235
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: all we're getting, and it's not enough. It is in

1236
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: every single way not enough. A short I'm even even

1237
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: for Caroline Levitt standards, A short press briefing taking place

1238
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: right there ended quicker than I think the room was expecting.

1239
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 2: For sure.

1240
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: So we have a vote today in the House, as

1241
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 1: all the procedural hurdles have been passed, and that should

1242
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,839
Speaker 1: lead to the end of the shutdown on the President's

1243
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: desk again. I'm really surprised by the movement. I was

1244
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 1: expecting more hurdles put in the way, but the angry Democrats.

1245
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: That isn't going to go away anytime soon. That is

1246
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: not going on a shelf. This is going to be visceral.

1247
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: And why because Republicans didn't.

1248
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 2: Do what they were supposed to do. They didn't cave.

1249
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,799
Speaker 1: And I don't think we're paying enough attention to exactly

1250
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: how Democrats are reacting to that.

1251
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 2: Keep it here.

1252
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today. Why from ball Hartbiner and

1253
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: the Crossroads of America. It's Tony Katz today. Privately, Democrats

1254
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: are infuriated that the shutdown is coming to an end.

1255
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: But publicly, Democrats are infuriated that the shutdown is coming

1256
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: to an end. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to

1257
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: be with you. I got to admit I am surprised

1258
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: by the speed. I didn't think things would move in

1259
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,639
Speaker 1: the Senate that quickly. You have the senators that came over,

1260
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 1: joining people like Senator John Bevean, You got the senators

1261
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 1: from New Hampshire, Angus King, the Independent of Maine, and

1262
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 1: they say, you.

1263
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 2: Know, what this is over?

1264
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: And Democrats say what, Why in the world would you

1265
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: call this over? That's ridiculous, that's insane. It shouldn't be over.

1266
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: What in the world are you talking about?

1267
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 2: Over?

1268
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 14: Over?

1269
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:25,560
Speaker 2: You say over? Nothing is over until we decided it is.

1270
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 2: Was it over? When the Sherman's bon peer.

1271
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: It's very hard to disagree with Senator Blutarski there, but

1272
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: they couldn't believe it.

1273
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 2: You're giving in to the Republicans. Democrats don't know how

1274
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 2: to give in.

1275
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: They've been extremely good at this since they have no

1276
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,759
Speaker 1: shame and they don't care what actually happens. They're totally

1277
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: fine with applying pressure, applying pressure and lying and having

1278
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: the media amplify those lies and applying pressure. So Republicans cave,

1279
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: Republicans give in, and Republicans didn't cave.

1280
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 2: And this, by the way, is the real story.

1281
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: The real anger from this shutdown is that Republicans didn't cave.

1282
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 2: They didn't do what they were supposed to do.

1283
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: You are going to find that this moment has a

1284
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: connectivity point to the two thousand election when the Supreme

1285
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 1: Court said we're done with the recount. Here George Bush

1286
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 1: has more votes in Florida. He's the president. We're done.

1287
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 2: That moment for the political left was what bah blah

1288
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 2: blah blah blahah are the courts belong to us? These

1289
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 2: are our courts. No, wait, what do you mean it's over?

1290
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 2: What in the world are you talking about? It's over over?

1291
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 2: You say over? Yeah, I can't do it twice. That's

1292
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 2: just ridiculous.

1293
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 1: And there if you want to talk about where the

1294
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: real anger was, where the real birth of progressivism in

1295
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: the mainstream was, it's that. Everything I think comes from

1296
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 1: that moment as a massive of tipping point to the

1297
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 1: progressive landscape we see.

1298
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 2: I think this will add to it.

1299
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,679
Speaker 1: Oh, Republicans didn't cave to all our pressure and screaming

1300
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 1: Republican health care crisis and screaming about how Trump was

1301
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 1: starving children. No, it's Democrats who are starving children. They

1302
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: want kids to starve, they want this to go on.

1303
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to forgive so easily. And

1304
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: not only not only are they not going to forgive

1305
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: their own people, They're not going to forgive Republicans for

1306
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: not playing the game.

1307
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 2: And what's the game? We complain? You capitulate?

1308
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 1: See Oh oh no, no, no, no, expect things to

1309
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,640
Speaker 1: be worse in future quote unquote negotiations.

1310
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you think the left breaks from this, No, no, no, no, no,

1311
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 2: no no.

1312
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 1: They they triple down into further insanity because they believe

1313
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 1: you have.

1314
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 2: To give in.

1315
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: Remember what the left believes if we talk about the

1316
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 1: government shutdown, right saying we're not going to vote for

1317
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: continuing resolution, as Democrats would not until you increase Obamacare subsidies,

1318
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: which I always argued Trump would do anyway. This was

1319
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 1: their argument. Illegals get healthcare, and we give subsidies for

1320
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: the Affordable Care Act because we admit that it's not affordable.

1321
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: This was the whole and the totality of their argument.

1322
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: And they thought they could get Republicans to do their bidding.

1323
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 2: And what did they say? Will sit down with anyone, anywhere,

1324
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 2: at any time, What does that matter? That's what we

1325
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 2: said here. It doesn't matter. If you're willing to sit down,

1326
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 2: you won't give in what you want. You don't understand that,

1327
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 2: to quote President Trump, you don't have the cards. You

1328
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 2: don't have it. What you're depending on is Republicans collapsing.

1329
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 2: And they didn't.

1330
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: And I have to believe that Republicans privately and Republicans

1331
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: in caucus meetings never said, my gosh, we didn't collapse.

1332
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: These people didn't cave. Huh, this is really interesting. I

1333
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,680
Speaker 1: wonder what else we won't cave on. I wonder what

1334
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: else we can do now. I wonder how strong we

1335
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: really are. I can't answer the question as to whether

1336
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: or not that message will really be received, but I

1337
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: got to assume, have to assume. So Republicans don't cave.

1338
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: Democrats are infuriated. They don't cave. Democrats cave, which is

1339
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 1: exactly what happens, and now there is a fallout. First

1340
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: it gets through the Senate, it's already engaged some procedural

1341
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: hurdles in the House, and we might see a vote

1342
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: on this today which could get it to the President's

1343
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: desk by Friday, which would be fantastic. But check out

1344
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: this is Tom Emmer. Tom Emmer is a congressman from Minnesota.

1345
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: He is what is hee the majority whip. He is

1346
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 1: the majority whip. And this is.

1347
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 2: Checked us out. Check out his commentary right here.

1348
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 28: You really think the Democrats you've talked to are not

1349
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 28: happy with him.

1350
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 2: They shouldn't be.

1351
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 28: He has not risen to the occasion, he thinks this

1352
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 28: is a college young Democrats group, that this is America.

1353
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 28: He's dealing with Americans lives. He's not playing a gotcha game,

1354
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 28: and that's what he thinks he's playing it. He just

1355
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 28: he's been a complete non factor in this whole process.

1356
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 28: This has literally been driven by the aging Chuck Schumer

1357
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 28: in the Senate, Who's another guy who's passed his prime.

1358
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,439
Speaker 28: He either consented to this deal Brian in the Senate,

1359
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 28: or he doesn't have control of his caucus over in

1360
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 28: the Senate. I think you're going to see leadership changes

1361
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 28: in both bodies.

1362
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 1: He's talking about a team Jeffries, and he's talking about

1363
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Chuck Schummer, the aging Chuck Schumer. Tom Emmer sixty four

1364
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: by the way, So I don't know. I have no

1365
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: idea if we call that aging or not. I just

1366
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that that's the terminal that they're using,

1367
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: the aging Chuck Schumer. And while Democrats are angry and

1368
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,560
Speaker 1: they may not be able to take it out on Republicans,

1369
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 1: they may take it out on other Democrats. I still

1370
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: argue that a keem Draftfrees will be the leader of

1371
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: the Democrats in the House. I cannot imagine that they're

1372
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: going to do away with him, although I would not

1373
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: mind it. But let's see what they do in the

1374
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: House today regarding the vote. But in the Senate, oh,

1375
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: I think it's FATA complete, that Chuck Schumer is all done.

1376
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 2: I won't miss them, will you? I didn't think so.

1377
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Kats. This is Tony Katz today being war

1378
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 2: fighting lethality.

1379
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 29: As a senator mentioned training, discipline, accountability, readiness at the

1380
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 29: forefront of everything we do at the Department of War.

1381
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 2: That means no more social justice.

1382
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 29: No more political correctness, no more toxic ideological garbage that

1383
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:01,799
Speaker 29: infected the department. As I've said before, but we repeat

1384
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 29: and we repeat because as a good old television host,

1385
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 29: you know, it takes a while for it to actually

1386
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 29: sink in. No more identity months, no more DEI offices,

1387
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,440
Speaker 29: no more dudes in dresses.

1388
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 2: No more climate change.

1389
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:22,680
Speaker 29: It actually was a thing.

1390
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 2: It actually was a thing.

1391
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: Nobody is questioning whether or not it was a thing,

1392
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: mister Secretary Tony Katz. Tony Katz today going to be

1393
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: with you. Find everything at Tony Katz dot com. That's

1394
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 1: Pete Hegsett, the Secretary of War as we're now calling it,

1395
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:40,679
Speaker 1: although there might need to be an official name change

1396
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 1: that has to take place, as opposed to saying Secretary

1397
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: of Defense. And he was speaking at the Northeast Indiana

1398
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: Defense Summit. It's interesting and these kinds of things are

1399
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: popping up. Senator Jim Banks of Indiana, when he was

1400
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: a congressman, started this were there's a defense contracting business

1401
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: in Indiana, and there's some part of this in a

1402
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: lot of states across the Midwest. A lot of important

1403
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: bases here, there and everywhere, a lot of important contracts,

1404
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: a lot of important work. Well, how do you put

1405
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: yourself on the map and engage conversations that are going

1406
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: to get people interested, get interesting people, and hopefully create

1407
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: some investment.

1408
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 2: In your state.

1409
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: So I always like this and very much approved of

1410
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,560
Speaker 1: the idea, and I attended a couple wasn't able to

1411
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: attend this year. And of course this is the upet

1412
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: hegset comes to have a conversation. So this is to

1413
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,520
Speaker 1: a group of people, some in the world of contracting,

1414
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: some not right defense contracting, but it's a smaller regional

1415
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 1: conversation I want. I was curious if if headsets conversation

1416
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: changes at all and as you heard, No, no, not

1417
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 1: at all, not seemingly, not in the slightest. But I

1418
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 1: want to share with you some of what he said,

1419
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 1: because we don't always get we get to hear them

1420
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: in these major spaces. But when you've got a group

1421
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 1: ands a couple hundred people who are probably in attendance,

1422
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 1: maybe more maybe for this one, there were three four

1423
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: hundred people who are sitting in the room, what is

1424
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: it that they're at, what is actually being discussed? What

1425
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: is it that he's trying to get across. So this

1426
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 1: was Secretary Hegseth.

1427
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,440
Speaker 29: No more climate change worship, no more division, no more delusions,

1428
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 29: gender delusions or quotas, no more distraction. As the Chairman

1429
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 29: of the Joint Chiefs puts it, Pete, you're clearing out

1430
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 29: the debris.

1431
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 7: That's what it is.

1432
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 29: We're clearing out the debris from out front of NCOs

1433
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 29: and officers.

1434
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 2: We're done with that stuff. It doesn't take a PhD

1435
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 2: to understand this.

1436
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:36,759
Speaker 29: Sergeants don't need sensitivity training.

1437
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 2: But we're taking the next step.

1438
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 29: We're not just undoing damage, we're solidifying the way forward.

1439
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,799
Speaker 29: We're taking concrete steps to ensure that common sense rains.

1440
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 29: Going forward, we're restoring a ruthless, dispassionate, and common sense

1441
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:58,759
Speaker 29: application of standards I don't want. I introduced a golden

1442
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 29: rule test in a speed which I gave a quantico

1443
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 29: to a number of generals and senior enlisted. It is

1444
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 29: do onto your formations that which you would have done

1445
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 29: onto your sons. Would you put your son or your

1446
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 29: daughter into the type of formation you are creating. It's

1447
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 29: a very clarifying rule. So I don't want my son

1448
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 29: serving alongside troops who are fat and out of shape,

1449
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 29: or in combat units with females who can't meet the

1450
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 29: same combat arms physical standards as men in their units.

1451
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 29: Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high.

1452
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: This is exactly the conversation he had when he assembled

1453
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: all the generals and admirals together. And people are like,

1454
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 1: this wasn't necessary. It was absolutely necessary. Let's say it

1455
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: again for the people in the cheap seats. We do

1456
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: have a problem in our military, and this idea that

1457
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: somehow we as the civilians.

1458
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 2: Can't make a note of this and make changes to

1459
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 2: this is nonsense.

1460
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,680
Speaker 1: When Trump said he knows more than the generals, I

1461
01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: could appreciate people saying that's just ridiculous. But he did

1462
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 1: not take into consideration, or at least they didn't. Is

1463
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 1: the number of generals who were indeed ridiculous. Let's take

1464
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: a look at their track record, never mind their ideology,

1465
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: never mind what it is that they were brought up

1466
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: with in the ranks, and they were able to move

1467
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: up politically, because to be a general, you're moving up

1468
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 1: politically and what it is you have to say, do

1469
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 1: and believe. Of course, we need to change as and

1470
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: we need to change what it was doing to the

1471
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 1: troops down the line, to the troops who are going

1472
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: to be on the front line, to the troops who

1473
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:31,640
Speaker 1: do the fighting. You must have a focused force and

1474
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 1: you must indeed have a standard. This conversation is still happening,

1475
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 1: same exact one. Pete hegsett not changing who he is

1476
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: for a specific group. This is good stuff and he's right,

1477
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 1: and we need to be supporting this in every single way.

1478
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 2: It's simple.

1479
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 29: It's colorblind, gender neutral, merit based, colorblind, gender neutral, merit based.

1480
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 29: That's what the military should be because if they're not

1481
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 29: in the standard, then they're just suggestions, suggestions that get

1482
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 29: our sons and daughters killed in combat. And that's why

1483
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 29: I've directed every service to ensure that every requirement and

1484
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 29: every combat mos returns to the highest male standard, only

1485
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 29: one standard across those combat jobs. If females make it fantastic,

1486
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 29: then they're most qualified for that position.

1487
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 2: If not, then so be it.

1488
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,600
Speaker 29: It's not about what gender makes it into what positions

1489
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 29: are the standards meet, the duty and the position. Because

1490
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 29: a body on a battlefield that all one five five

1491
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,560
Speaker 29: round weighs the same whether you're a man or a woman. So,

1492
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 29: in line with Potus's common sense agenda, the first item

1493
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 29: of what we're undertaking inside the Department of War is

1494
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 29: restoring the warrior ethos. So a lot of what I

1495
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 29: just said falls into the category of restoring the warrior ethos.

1496
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 29: And it's up and down the ranks. As I mentioned

1497
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 29: that speech at Quantico, whether you're an airborne ranger or

1498
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 29: a chairborne ranger, a brand new private, or a four

1499
01:24:57,560 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 29: star general in the Pentagon, you need to beat height

1500
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 29: and weight standards and pass.

1501
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 2: A PT test twice a year.

1502
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 29: I also said, we don't need to be in military

1503
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 29: of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim

1504
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 29: to be Nordic pagan No Suddenly it's become like this.

1505
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 5: Real religious, fake religious affiliation.

1506
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 29: Inside the Pentagon, where troops claim to be Nordic pagan

1507
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,759
Speaker 29: so they can grow a beard and no one challenges

1508
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:23,560
Speaker 29: them on it because no one's upheld standards for a

1509
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 29: long time. So a quarter of the platoon is sporting

1510
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 29: beards because they're now suddenly Nordic pagans. We're not doing

1511
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 29: that stuff anymore.

1512
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 2: For me, I don't know if I care if a

1513
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 2: soldier has a beard, but I don't think it's about

1514
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 2: whether or not I care. And this becomes a.

1515
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 1: Very interesting conversation about whether or not people can accept

1516
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: the fact maybe their feelings don't matter at all. How

1517
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 1: I feel about a beard is inconsequential. What the military

1518
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 1: is saying is we do it this way, and upholding

1519
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 1: the standard is not just about a look. It's about

1520
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: an attitude. And this seems to blow people's minds. By

1521
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: saying we don't do beards, we're saying that there's a reason,

1522
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 1: and the reason is not just because we think some

1523
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: of you do it' scraggly and it doesn't look professional.

1524
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: It's because we're all in this together, and we do

1525
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: this together and we share these standards together and in

1526
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: that you build the bonds of brotherhood, and you build

1527
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: the strength.

1528
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 2: And the consistency. And this is exactly what matters.

1529
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:35,800
Speaker 1: And those of you who served, tell me tell me

1530
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: how right I am. If I'm wrong, I mean, also

1531
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 1: tell me I'm wrong. But really, isn't there this serious, serious,

1532
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: important issue about how well we are connected, how well

1533
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:46,799
Speaker 1: we are in this together?

1534
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,799
Speaker 2: Because you got to rely on the person next.

1535
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 3: To you, you have to.

1536
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 1: And there are these things, small things and large things

1537
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 1: that create these bonds, and the bonds are valuable, invaluable.

1538
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 2: This is this is the way.

1539
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: And of course people who have no concept of such

1540
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: things believe that their feelings should matter. This is where

1541
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 1: the minds are blown apart comes in. The leftist is

1542
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: not oft told that their feelings don't matter when it

1543
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 1: comes to the military. I don't give a good holy

1544
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 1: damn about your progressive feelings. Don't care about anything. I

1545
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: care only and solely about unit readiness. Years ago I

1546
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 1: had this conversation with somebody who knew far more about

1547
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:37,839
Speaker 1: the military than I and his argument.

1548
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 2: It was Brian Suit's radio host out of Los Angeles.

1549
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 2: Very very good guy.

1550
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: I think he might now be in the Seattle area

1551
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:50,759
Speaker 1: doing radio. A smart dude, good dude. And his argument

1552
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: was was that the concept of transgender did not actually affect.

1553
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 2: Readiness.

1554
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: He didn't believe that it did based on his observations

1555
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: and his conversations.

1556
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 2: Mixed sexes affected unit.

1557
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: Readiness because that led to sexual tension and that led

1558
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 1: to distractions, not trans to anything. And I said, okay, interesting, interesting, interesting.

1559
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 1: I should always have in those conversations anytime I brought

1560
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 1: that up clarified that as to say, okay, that's one

1561
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: person's opinion, It doesn't make it universally true. And the

1562
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 1: only thing that I care about is unit readiness. When

1563
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 1: the moment comes to kill the enemy?

1564
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,640
Speaker 2: Are we prepared? Are we ready? Can we do it?

1565
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 2: Are they trained? Are they focused? The end?

1566
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I can't imagine anything else matters.

1567
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: But to the left is progressive. There might be a

1568
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: dozen things that matter.

1569
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 2: They're wrong And.

1570
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:56,760
Speaker 1: If that's the ideology that has infiltrated generals and admirals,

1571
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 1: well then yes they have to go.

1572
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,640
Speaker 2: Yes Trump is smarter than them, and yes so is

1573
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth.

1574
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:05,879
Speaker 1: People can tell me all they want, and Hegseth wasn't qualified,

1575
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 1: and Hegseth not this, and Hexath not that. And it's

1576
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 1: weird as a guy who was, you know, never a

1577
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Fox employee, but I spent plenty of time on the

1578
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 1: couch there with Fox and Friends and Fox and Friends

1579
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:16,679
Speaker 1: Weekend and everything else.

1580
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 2: Interviewed by Pete. It's very weird to think of like

1581
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 2: I was talking to this dude and always the Secretary

1582
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 2: of War. It's kind of nutty.

1583
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: It's gotta be nuttier for the people who actually worked there.

1584
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:33,679
Speaker 1: But he has proven himself to the task. Some mistakes, sure,

1585
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:40,600
Speaker 1: some hiccups, Well, who hasn't. You're able to engage a

1586
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 1: planning of the bombing of Foordeaux, Natan's in Isfahan, these

1587
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 1: Iranian nuclear facilities without a single leak of bravissimo, and

1588
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:54,559
Speaker 1: you're engaging a conversation that we ain't the military of old,

1589
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 1: We're the military of purpose.

1590
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 2: That is valuable.

1591
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:03,720
Speaker 1: I'll applaud that every day of the week, and all

1592
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: applaud Secretary Hesea for getting it done. Back to a

1593
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 1: speech there in Northern Indiana. This is taking place at

1594
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:15,719
Speaker 1: the Northeast Indiana Defense Summit just earlier today.

1595
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 29: The idea is it's sort of the broken windows theory

1596
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 29: of policing. There'll be some people that say, well, why

1597
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:26,360
Speaker 29: would a secretary care about beards and PT standards? It's

1598
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 29: the same thing, Well, why would a mayor of New

1599
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 29: York care about squeegeemen or about broken windows. It's because

1600
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 29: when you let the small things go, you create a

1601
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 29: climate of criminality. But when you let the small things

1602
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 29: go inside your formations, you just create a climate of

1603
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 29: a lack of discipline where standards cannot be enforced. And

1604
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 29: if you can't enforce them on the small things, it

1605
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 29: gets far more difficult to enforce them on even more

1606
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 29: meaningful things.

1607
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 2: I told Jim, I mean, I just.

1608
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 1: It is what it is transforming our military matters, and

1609
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 1: I'm glad that it's being done. I'm Tony Katz. This

1610
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 1: is Tony Kats today. I think one of the big

1611
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:07,320
Speaker 1: problems we have is that we don't have a good

1612
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:11,439
Speaker 1: definition of terms. We hear about these things happening, We

1613
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 1: see these things happening, but I.

1614
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 2: When we ask ourselves what they mean.

1615
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 1: If we take a look at the election of Momdanni

1616
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:19,160
Speaker 1: in New York, I'm supposed to be told that the

1617
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 1: reason that this communist got elected was because of affordability,

1618
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not so sure that's the case. But neither

1619
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 1: here nor there, I'm not so sure we understand what

1620
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 1: affordability actually means. And every time I hear Tucker Carlson,

1621
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Kandace owns, Nick Fuentes and grouper's, I'm assuming half the

1622
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:41,600
Speaker 1: people say, I don't know what a groper is, but

1623
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:43,679
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if I take some kind of salve

1624
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: or penicillin it will go away.

1625
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:48,040
Speaker 2: The terms, the words have meaning.

1626
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:49,600
Speaker 1: We got to know what they are in order to

1627
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:51,799
Speaker 1: be able to understand what we're dealing with. Tony Katz,

1628
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, Good to be with you. Noah Rothman

1629
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 1: joins me right now from National Review. That's where you

1630
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 1: find his work National Review dot com. And you have

1631
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 1: been on these subjects right talking about affordability, regarding the

1632
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: mo'm donnie election, and talking to me about one day.

1633
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:11,720
Speaker 1: So I want to start with affordability first because this

1634
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: is the buzzword, and President Trump has been making the

1635
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 1: argument finally, in my view that you know, the economy

1636
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 1: is better than people say, we're just not talking about

1637
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 1: it enough.

1638
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 2: I don't think everything is great, but he can make

1639
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 2: some arguments.

1640
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:28,400
Speaker 1: So when you take a look at this affordability conversation

1641
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 1: how zoronmum Donnie ran what his Republicans are now saying,

1642
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 1: what do you take from them?

1643
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,720
Speaker 30: Well, I kind of share your skepticism that the affordability

1644
01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:41,400
Speaker 30: argument is what won the election from Mamdani. He managed

1645
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 30: their majority of the vote in New York City, in

1646
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,800
Speaker 30: which Democratic nominees for New York City they are typically romp.

1647
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 30: But that said, I think it would be folly to ignore,

1648
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 30: especially for Republicans conservatives, to ignore the salience of the

1649
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 30: affordability issue and the apparent popularity of his solutions to them,

1650
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:04,600
Speaker 30: which amount to top down government style entitlement programs, unfunded

1651
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 30: liabilities that we're already drowning in.

1652
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 5: But I wrote about this yesterday.

1653
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:13,639
Speaker 30: There's some Yuga polling, for example, that shows majorities even

1654
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 30: two thirds of voters support things like rent freezes and

1655
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 30: free childcare whatever that means, and government owned grocery stores

1656
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 30: and raising the minimum wage to thirty dollars an hour,

1657
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:31,679
Speaker 30: as though these will have no macroeconomic consequences. The conservative argument,

1658
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:35,640
Speaker 30: the Republican argument has typically been that whenever you hear

1659
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 30: this sort of stuff from socialists. They're arguing for more

1660
01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 30: vociferous efforts to solve the problems they created and using

1661
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 30: the same solutions that created the problems in the first place.

1662
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:50,559
Speaker 30: And what we're hearing, I don't think what we're hearing

1663
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 30: counter your impression that what we're hearing from Donald Trump

1664
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 30: is an especially adroit political argument against the very salient

1665
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 30: fact that the cast of living in the United States

1666
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 30: is too high, and it has been growing over the

1667
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:08,760
Speaker 30: course of Donald Trump's presidency, his second term presidency, we've

1668
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 30: seen upwards of three, four, five, six percent increases in

1669
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 30: the cost of food, home and renters, insurance, appail, bedding, furniture,

1670
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 30: you name it. And the President's response to this is

1671
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:23,960
Speaker 30: to say, I don't want to hear about affordability, he

1672
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:27,000
Speaker 30: tells reporters, He tells Laura Ingram, you know, it's a

1673
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,560
Speaker 30: con job by Democrats, the notion that the cost of

1674
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 30: living is too high. What he should be arguing, and

1675
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 30: what conservatives and Republicans have been arguing typically in the

1676
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,879
Speaker 30: pre Trump era, is that when cost of living increase

1677
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:45,719
Speaker 30: increases to an unsustainable level, it is exacerbated by efforts

1678
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:50,280
Speaker 30: to remove from the economy your money, taking your income

1679
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 30: out of your pocket and shoveling it into really ineffective

1680
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 30: and inefficient government programs that do not deliver the services

1681
01:34:57,439 --> 01:35:01,160
Speaker 30: they're supposed to deliver, and limit the macroeconomic benefit that

1682
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 30: we would have if you were allowed to patronize the

1683
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 30: firms that you wanted to, not because they're the best connected,

1684
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 30: but because they're the most efficient, effective, and maximize your happiness.

1685
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 30: That process, in the aggregate is what we call free

1686
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 30: market economics, and nobody talks about individual economic liberty anymore.

1687
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:23,080
Speaker 30: Nobody talks about your ability to navigate your own environment

1688
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 30: to see the people in services that you think are

1689
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:28,400
Speaker 30: doing the best and signal to the broader market. But

1690
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,519
Speaker 30: because they're doing the best, others in the competition in

1691
01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 30: that space have to either change what they're doing or fold.

1692
01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:38,559
Speaker 30: That process of creative destruction is what generates economic growth

1693
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 30: and prosperity and wealth. And it's the sort of thing

1694
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 30: that Republicans used to talk about with self confidence and

1695
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:47,800
Speaker 30: assuredness because those principles are time tested and true.

1696
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 5: They no longer do.

1697
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:51,560
Speaker 30: But right now what they're offering is something like socialism.

1698
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 1: Light it's with socialism I think has happened here and

1699
01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't mean in talking about that often.

1700
01:35:57,120 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 2: I'm not for a view.

1701
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a clumsy stab at this, but

1702
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:04,360
Speaker 1: it has been in my head for a while that

1703
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:06,840
Speaker 1: the I don't think you call it the woke right,

1704
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 1: that's I think I might be a different group of people.

1705
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 2: But they see that conservatism under.

1706
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 1: The Bill, Crystals of the World didn't work, and they

1707
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,680
Speaker 1: have now extrapolated that out to capitalism under the Bill

1708
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:21,439
Speaker 1: Crystals of the World didn't work, and there has to

1709
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:25,920
Speaker 1: be more done by government to help people or engage protectionism,

1710
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:29,600
Speaker 1: which is tariffs, et cetera. And the very idea of

1711
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 1: free markets seems to be, well, that's just that old

1712
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 1: school stuff that didn't work.

1713
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,360
Speaker 2: I am not a buyer in that. I'm not a

1714
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 2: believer in this.

1715
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 1: And there's this very interesting conversation going on regarding something

1716
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro said that if a place is too expensive,

1717
01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 1: find a place that's less expensive. And you have others

1718
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:47,599
Speaker 1: saying this is exactly the problem, that's exactly the issue.

1719
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 1: You're going to lose elections this way. I don't know

1720
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:53,880
Speaker 1: how you lose elections by saying you can't afford New York.

1721
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 1: If you can't afford New York, So don't live in

1722
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 1: New York, which is something every father has said to

1723
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 1: every son and every daughter, usually.

1724
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 2: More sons and daughters, because they let their daughters do

1725
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 2: what they will.

1726
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 30: Yeah, I suppose I have a little less sympathy for

1727
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 30: the notion for the invocation. For example, Bill Crystal a

1728
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:12,800
Speaker 30: writer who has absolutely no influence over the evolution of

1729
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:16,600
Speaker 30: economic policy on the planet Earth since the Enlightenment. And

1730
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 30: we're talking about Adam Smith, not Bill Crystal. So I

1731
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 30: just find it to be completely erroneous to even bring

1732
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:25,600
Speaker 30: them up. Second, now, the notion here that that dynamism,

1733
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 30: that agency, that your individual efforts to shape and change

1734
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 30: your own reality are somehow untoward or suggesting that you

1735
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,600
Speaker 30: have that capacity to navigate your environment and change your

1736
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 30: circumstances even up to and to the point of picking

1737
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 30: up roots and derascinating, is essential to the American ideal.

1738
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 30: This is not something that is just new and unique.

1739
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 30: And we've always had a protectionist social covenant in which

1740
01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:56,040
Speaker 30: you can be expected to spend generations on the same

1741
01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 30: plot of land.

1742
01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:57,880
Speaker 14: You know.

1743
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 30: That's like an old world ideal, and it's one that

1744
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 30: is accompanied by stagnation. Why would we want to import

1745
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 30: the social covenants of Europe to this place where we

1746
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:13,360
Speaker 30: have such economic dynamism, where we have individual liberty and

1747
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 30: individual rights, and the notion that you yourself are responsible

1748
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,679
Speaker 30: for your lot in life and therefore have the freedom

1749
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:24,280
Speaker 30: and opportunity to shape and change it. It's a romantic

1750
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 30: notion that the rest of the country should shell out

1751
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:32,759
Speaker 30: their taxpayer dollars so that you can afford a certain

1752
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 30: lifestyle in a place that no longer sustains it. But

1753
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 30: it's not going to change economic reality. We can prop

1754
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:41,760
Speaker 30: you up for a certain amount of time, but an

1755
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 30: unsustainable proposition is an unsustainable proposition. It will not be

1756
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:48,320
Speaker 30: rendered sustainable merely because we throw money at it. We're

1757
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:51,160
Speaker 30: having the same debate Obamacare right now, in sort of

1758
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:54,960
Speaker 30: a microcosm. Democrats are arguing that the subsidies that they

1759
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 30: themselves sunset in order to meet the measure of a

1760
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 30: medical emergency is somehow something that we have to now

1761
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 30: accept in perpetuity, even though the costs that they're trying

1762
01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 30: to stop gap here are growing growing, not shrinking, and

1763
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 30: we will be continuab We'll just sign ourselves up for

1764
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 30: continually trying to support this unsustainable evidence until edifice, rather

1765
01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 30: until it inevitably collapses.

1766
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,919
Speaker 2: Rather, we should allow the collapse.

1767
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 30: We should allow the creative destruction out from which a

1768
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:30,560
Speaker 30: better status quo can emerge. If something does not is

1769
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:33,600
Speaker 30: not going to work forever, we have better accept it

1770
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 30: and shape it and change it now until the before

1771
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:40,519
Speaker 30: the consequences become far worse than they would be today.

1772
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 1: Talking to Noah Rothman of National Review dot Com of

1773
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 1: Croy of freeop was making this argument with me yesterday

1774
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,160
Speaker 1: that you can engage the subsidy conversation all you want,

1775
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 1: but in the end, you have to change the fundamental

1776
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 1: dynamics of Obamacare if you want anything to be better,

1777
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:02,080
Speaker 1: because it doesn't actually work. And I do agree that

1778
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: President Trump has an argument about some prices coming down, right,

1779
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 1: He could talk about gas prices coming down.

1780
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 2: He can make that argument, but it's very hard to make.

1781
01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 1: The conversation and the argument and Toto as some kind

1782
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 1: of complete thing that everything has come down when it hasn't,

1783
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,600
Speaker 1: some of which could be attributed to Trump policies and

1784
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:25,240
Speaker 1: some of which are just remnants still of Biden policies.

1785
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 2: But I'm going to put that to the side for

1786
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:28,480
Speaker 2: now because.

1787
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 1: You have a part two conversation really as a second

1788
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: story as it's been enveloping the political right. And no,

1789
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 1: I do not believe there's a civil war. There is

1790
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 1: no civil war in the political right at all in

1791
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:40,599
Speaker 1: my view.

1792
01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 2: But this the.

1793
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:45,200
Speaker 1: Gropers are losing, and you've got the picture of Nick

1794
01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:50,599
Speaker 1: Fuentes right there. This is playing on the fringes, except

1795
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:53,679
Speaker 1: the people it's playing on the fringes with have very

1796
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:57,880
Speaker 1: large scale audiences. And so to the extent that I

1797
01:40:57,960 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 1: am remiss to bring it up because giving these people

1798
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:05,200
Speaker 1: airtime is gross in my take my view, in my take,

1799
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:08,200
Speaker 1: it has to be done because you have to understand

1800
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 1: what's happening. So let's start from a baseline, Noah Rothman,

1801
01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:16,639
Speaker 1: what in the world is a groper? And what possibly

1802
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 1: is the argument here that they are losing considering Flentes

1803
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 1: is now get in time with Tucker, and Tucker's getting

1804
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: a defense from Megan Kelly, et cetera.

1805
01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:33,360
Speaker 30: So gropers are the name that has been adopted by

1806
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 30: fans of Nick Flentes who mimic his affect and share,

1807
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 30: to one degree or another, his outlook, and Nick Flentes's

1808
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 30: outlook is explicitly racist. He has described himself as a racist,

1809
01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:49,719
Speaker 30: described himself as a Hitler fan, said, you know, women

1810
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 30: want to be raped, et cetera. So forth, he's a provocateur,

1811
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:56,960
Speaker 30: and he strikes the most anti social position you could

1812
01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:01,760
Speaker 30: possibly imagine, and that's very attractive to his provocateurs, some

1813
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 30: of whom are just purely nihilistic. To describe them as

1814
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 30: conservative or Republican even is to attribute to the mediological

1815
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 30: motives they don't have.

1816
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 2: They do have small audiences.

1817
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 30: They have disproportionate influence in the halls of power, particularly

1818
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:19,440
Speaker 30: on the American right, and the American right has engaged

1819
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:25,080
Speaker 30: this influence after it was it became a scandalizing controversy

1820
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 30: when Heritage President Kevin Roberts put out this video, a

1821
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 30: really sordid video.

1822
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:34,320
Speaker 5: In my view, insisting that he was defending.

1823
01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 30: He would not defend or he would not dissociate his

1824
01:42:39,200 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 30: institution from Tucker Carlson, with whom he has those very

1825
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 30: deep and enduring bond, because that would be to intervene

1826
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 30: in a conversation on the American right, and we would

1827
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:53,600
Speaker 30: direct all our fire on the American left. It was

1828
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 30: self evidently false, if only because Tucker Carlson does not

1829
01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 30: engage in that same project. I don't remember the last

1830
01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:03,360
Speaker 30: time he criticized the left at any length. His political

1831
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:06,559
Speaker 30: project is to co op the right and undermine its

1832
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 30: institutions and shape and change the direction of its political

1833
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:12,280
Speaker 30: evolution in a far more paranoid and conspiratorial direction. That's

1834
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:15,240
Speaker 30: self evidently the case, and Kevin Roberts put his thumb

1835
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 30: on the scale for that while saying he wasn't ignited

1836
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 30: this conversation on the right that I think is entirely salutary,

1837
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:27,720
Speaker 30: totally healthy, and it actually puts in stark relief the

1838
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:32,559
Speaker 30: Democratic parties avoidance of this question when they were confronted

1839
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:35,759
Speaker 30: with violent anti Semites who tore at the emergency fencing

1840
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 30: around the Democratic National Convention like a zombie horde. You know,

1841
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:41,759
Speaker 30: its members would say they have a point. The President

1842
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:43,920
Speaker 30: would say they had by Joe Biden, they have a point.

1843
01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 30: Tim Waltz would say, you know, or rather Kamala Harris

1844
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 30: would say, they have exactly the right emotion when confronted

1845
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,679
Speaker 30: with the horrors that were witnessing in the Middle East,

1846
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:54,519
Speaker 30: and you know, etc.

1847
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 2: So forth.

1848
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 30: As late as Halloween in twenty twenty four, the Associated

1849
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,360
Speaker 30: Press said that the Kamala Harris campaign is trying to

1850
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:06,479
Speaker 30: integrate these individuals into their movement and validate their concerns

1851
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 30: quote unquote, so that could harness their energy. There is

1852
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 30: an element of that on the right that sees the

1853
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:16,240
Speaker 30: passion and verve with which the racist elements that are

1854
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 30: very provocative and very inflammatory signal to them the illusion

1855
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 30: that they're talking about a much broader spectrum of American

1856
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:28,040
Speaker 30: American voters and there could be political power there. So

1857
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 30: we can't afford to alienate them. You alienate one, if

1858
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 30: you throw anybody under the bus one Sister Soldier moment,

1859
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:35,880
Speaker 30: you can lose the whole coalition. And why I think

1860
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,080
Speaker 30: that this whole moment has been really healthy and revealing

1861
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,599
Speaker 30: is because we're all living in Plato's cave. We don't

1862
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 30: really know how many gropers there are and how powerful

1863
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:48,519
Speaker 30: and influential they are until they're tested. And when they're tested,

1864
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,600
Speaker 30: and they have been tested, we've seen them show a

1865
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 30: lot of leg They have been on the back foot.

1866
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:57,600
Speaker 30: Kevin Roberts is now, i think, on his fourth apology

1867
01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:02,360
Speaker 30: for that video. He's been backtracking ever since. Just about

1868
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 30: every Republican of stature who doesn't ingratiate themselves to the

1869
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:11,519
Speaker 30: fringes of American political thought. Has come out against this movement.

1870
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:16,599
Speaker 30: The Wall Street Journal Ben Shapiro newly revamped Washington Post

1871
01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 30: opinion page, which is far more conservative than it used

1872
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 30: to be. You're seeing the institutions on the American right

1873
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 30: sort of come out and have some spine, shows some

1874
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 30: self confidence, and evince the conservative principles that have been

1875
01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 30: not in fashion on the American right for the better

1876
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 30: part of a decade. I think that's pretty heartening. And

1877
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:41,759
Speaker 30: it's only because they've seen how little actual, actual power

1878
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 30: that this faction of the American right can bring to

1879
01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 30: bear when it's really tested. And I think that's going

1880
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,000
Speaker 30: to be helpful for everybody who wants to who wants

1881
01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:55,759
Speaker 30: some clarity about just how powerful this group of malcontents.

1882
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:57,639
Speaker 15: Are and does that mean the H one B visa

1883
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 15: thing will not be a big priority administration is if

1884
01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:03,639
Speaker 15: you want to raise wages for American workers, you can't

1885
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:06,719
Speaker 15: flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of eye.

1886
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 2: And we also do have to bring in talent. When

1887
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:12,519
Speaker 2: we got your talent and they know you know you don't.

1888
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 14: We don't have talent people, No, you don't have You

1889
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 14: don't have certain talents, and you have to people have

1890
01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 14: to learn.

1891
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:20,479
Speaker 1: Now, President Trump is going to be quoted out of

1892
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:24,960
Speaker 1: context on this regarding He's not saying Americans don't have talent.

1893
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:27,000
Speaker 1: He's saying that you need to be able to train

1894
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 1: that talent. But if that is the excuse solely and

1895
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:35,040
Speaker 1: exclusively for never ending H one B visas and never

1896
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:40,759
Speaker 1: ending the idea of people from other countries engaging jobs

1897
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: here as if somehow we can't do it, that's a

1898
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,719
Speaker 1: real problem. And it's understandable why that hits so hard

1899
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:51,479
Speaker 1: in certain circles that my gosh, what is the President

1900
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 1: doing here? I think it's when he says, well, we

1901
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:56,719
Speaker 1: need to allow these foreign students to come in because

1902
01:46:56,760 --> 01:46:57,879
Speaker 1: it's good for our colleges.

1903
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:00,439
Speaker 2: We don't want them to go under. I don't care

1904
01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:02,920
Speaker 2: if some colleges go under. What kind of thing is this?

1905
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 1: The President took a big swing here in this interview

1906
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 1: with Laura Ingram, and he missed, and it's something that

1907
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:11,840
Speaker 1: he has to deal with, that his team has to

1908
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 1: deal with, and they'd better get on it.

1909
01:47:14,479 --> 01:47:16,439
Speaker 2: This was not a miss you wanted. It's not a

1910
01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 2: miss that's necessary, and it doesn't even fit his brand.

1911
01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:23,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk more about it. Find everything at Tonycotts
