1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: Line from ball Hartbyer and The Crossroads of America. 2 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: It was nice to see Politico come to the party 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,479 Speaker 1: with an understanding that if you've taken out with Duro, 5 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: and you've taken out the Ayatola, you have choked oil 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: resources from a very thirsty China, which does not care 7 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: about sanctions at all, doesn't care about thwarting United States sanctions. 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: What they care about is feeding their machine, their machine 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: that has been less and less active over the years 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: post COVID because they handled COVID wrong. Because we have 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: a manufacturing slowdown around the world except for the US, 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: which is now up two months in a row in 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: their manufacturing output. Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, good to 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: be with you. Senator Jim Banks joins me right now. 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: He is the Senator from Indiana Republican and Sir, you 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: sit on Armed Services. So let's start where we start 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: with this attack on Iran, which took place on Saturday one, 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: twenty seven am Eastern time, is when we first got 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: notification on Senate Armed Services. 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: Though not a member of the Gang of Eight. What 21 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: did you know when did you find out? 22 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 3: Well, I wasn't briefed in a classified setting, Tony, but 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: all of it was predictable. When the President is sent 24 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 3: to aircraft carrier strike groups to the Middle East. The 25 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: second one a couple of weeks ago. We knew that 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 3: something was imminent, and President Trump warned the Iranians something 27 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: like sixty different times. Come to the table and make 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: a deal to stop your nuclear program, stop making your 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 3: nuclear strides, to build your nuclear program, stop building your missiles. 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: Make a deal with us, or there will be hell 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: to pay. Well, they chose the hell to pay, and 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: that's what happened over the weekend. President Trump has made 33 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: it very clear in the last twenty four hours that 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 3: they haven't seen anything yet. The big strikes are still 35 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 3: yet to come, so hopefully, hopefully we have their attention. Obviously, 36 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: the supreme leader, the top Byatola has been taken out. 37 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 3: There are others who still still are alive who have 38 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: taken over. But the strikes so far have been very effective. 39 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 3: Over thirty percent by some Israeli intelligence of their military 40 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 3: has been wiped out. Certain figures have been wiped out, 41 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: so we know we have their attention, but there's still 42 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 3: more work here to do. If the Iranians don't come 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 3: to the table immediately and make guarantees that they're going 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: to stop building their nuclear program. 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: Well, it would make me question what member of the 46 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: leadership is left to do such a thing. But I 47 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: heard the Secretary of War Pete Hegsas say that this 48 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: is not a regime change war. 49 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 2: And I will say to you that I did not 50 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: buy into that. 51 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: While I support the removal of the Ietola and the 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: regime wholeheartedly as a value not only to the people 53 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: of Iran, but to the United States, but to the 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: Middle East as a whole, nevermind in the world, it 55 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: is clearly, in my view a regime change war. When 56 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: when I hear you say, people coming to the table, 57 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: what what table is there? What what deal is is 58 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: possible in your belief that could be made that that 59 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: satisfies a not only a non nuclear Ran but. 60 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: A free people of Iran. 61 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're obviously we're past the point of making a deal. 62 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: But I suppose if whoever is in charge in Iran today, 63 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: the whoever the next Ayatola is, that is the next 64 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: man up. 65 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: I wouldn't want that job. 66 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: But whoever that Iatola is at the moment could call 67 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: President Trump and say, okay, let's make a deal. We 68 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: we you have our full attention. We are going to 69 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: end our nuclear program. I suppose that that that might 70 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: be the only thing left that they can do. But 71 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: at this point, these are very evil people, the biggest 72 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: state sponsor of terrorism in the world ever, and they 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: we we've we we are wiping out their capability to 74 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: do more harm to America, to America's allies, to Israel. 75 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: And in this case, they've they've made very big tactical 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: mistakes and firing rockets at all of their neighbors, maybe 77 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: some of them who were previously sympathetic to them, but 78 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: not anymore. I mean firing rockets at Guitar, at Jordan, 79 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: at Saudi Arabia. I mean, these these are bag tactical 80 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: mistakes that they've made that will that will will will 81 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: ensure greater punishment to them in the future. 82 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: Talking to Senator Jim Banks of Indiana, you're a man 83 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: who has served in the military, and I'm glad you 84 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: brought that up, because one could almost argue you could 85 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: see a missile going in Saudi Arabia. They've been engaged 86 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: in a proxy war in Yemen where the Iranian regime 87 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: has been backing the Houthi rebels for years now. But 88 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: you're right Kuwait Qatar, which clearly would have been on 89 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: their side. The Jordanians claiming they had to shoot missiles down, 90 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: this is a very weird move from Iran. I have 91 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: made this a conversation regarding the Board of Peace when 92 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: you have all these nations working together to rebuild gossen 93 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: skin in the game. This is the Iranians realizing they've 94 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: lost a leverage and they're very upset about it. 95 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: But you're a military guy by trade. When you saw 96 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: them shooting missiles at these other countries, did you say 97 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 2: out loud what am I looking at? Or did you say, Okay, 98 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: I know X, Y and Z, and here's why they're 99 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: doing it. 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's deep. It's very puzzling, Tony. But 101 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: it fits with what Secretary of State Rubio told us 102 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 3: yesterday that the intelligence that Israel is going to strike 103 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: Iran and Iran is going to retaliate by striking us. 104 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense, but that if that, if that 105 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: intelligence that Secretary of Rubio reported to us yesterday, which 106 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 3: I trust Secretary of Rubio very much, so if that, 107 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: if that's the intelligence that precipitated us from getting this 108 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: actively involved in what's going on there. It sort of 109 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: fits with this puzzling strategy that the Iranians have, I mean, 110 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: going after the Amoradis. I mean, what a what a 111 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 3: foolish a stake on their part. But Quitar, I mean, 112 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 3: remember it was just two weeks ago that Guitar was 113 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 3: telling us we can't use aludd and and military bases, 114 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: our military basis to strike Iran. They've Quitar has completely 115 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: changed their tune on that. Even even the British now 116 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: have come to the table and given up. They told 117 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 3: us we couldn't use Diego Garcia base that they controlled 118 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: to strike Iran. Now they've now they've backtracked on that. 119 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: So Iran's activities so far, I've only guaranteed America and 120 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: Israel greater global support for what's going on there. 121 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 2: Right now. 122 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 3: The French and the Chinese are the only ones who 123 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: are complaining about it. So I like the I like 124 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: President Trump has gained a lot of allies in this 125 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 3: regard who are on our side, who understand how evil 126 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: Iran is. We have a moment and time right here 127 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: to take out their capabilities and prevent them from causing 128 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: more harm to America and to their neighbors. 129 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: Talking to Senator Jim Banks of Indiana, sits on the 130 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: Armed Services Committee, we also heard Cherry Rubio discussed that 131 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: the Israelis were going to make moves and that would 132 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: have left us positions vulnerable. 133 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: We didn't want them vulnerable, so we got. 134 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: Engaged, which leads some to say that America was dragged 135 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,559 Speaker 1: into this war? 136 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: Is that how you see it? Not at all. 137 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: I mean, President Trump isn't dragged into anything. President Trump 138 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: understands the stakes. He's been talking about it again. He 139 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: warned them sixty something times, indir nuclear program or We're 140 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: going to bomb the hell out of you. They chose 141 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,119 Speaker 3: the bombing the hell out of them. So the President 142 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 3: Trump has been predictable through all of this. He wanted 143 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: to make a deal. They didn't come to the table 144 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: to make a deal. We weren't dragged into anything. But 145 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 3: President Trump understands that these are the Ayatolas. The regime 146 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: there is very evil. What they did to kill American 147 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan where I served, what they've 148 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: done to go after Americans all over the globe. I 149 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: mean they had death threats on President Trump himself. I mean, 150 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: the Iranians are are the regime there is very evil 151 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 3: what they did to their own people. I mean, the 152 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: human rights abuse is there. So President Trump told them 153 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 3: to knock it off and uh and and President Trump 154 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: backed it up. He drew he unlike unlike Obama, President 155 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: Trump drew a red line and he kept it. And 156 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: that that's the type of that's the type of global 157 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: leadership that we get out of President Trump. The rest 158 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 3: of the world has been put on notice. Our adversaries 159 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: like China and Russia are noticing that President Trump doesn't 160 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: play games. He doesn't play around. He tells you what 161 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: he's going to do, he actually does it. And this 162 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: is a good case of it. 163 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: So what you get as pushback from from Magaville, as 164 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I refer to it, as we were told no more 165 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: forever war was we were told no war with Iran, 166 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: and and here it is that you know, you can 167 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: talk about redlines, but the truth is Iran was just 168 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: full of bluster and they weren't necessarily a threat to us. 169 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: You did get the briefing, at least the House got 170 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: the briefing. I'm assuming by the stage you've had briefings 171 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: as well as the executive branch. The Trump administration has 172 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: brief Congress required to do by the War Powers Act. 173 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: Did that briefing convince you, if you needed any convincing, 174 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: that this was a threat that needed to be handled well? 175 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 3: First and foremost, Tony, I trust President Trump. I mean 176 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: what he's done and what he did in his first term, 177 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 3: what he's done so far in the first year of 178 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: this second term. Venezuela Midnight Hammer. Previously, President Trump doesn't 179 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 3: get us involved in forever wars. And I served in 180 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 3: a forever war. I served in Afghanistans. So this isn't 181 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: This isn't that doesn't look anything like that. I mean, 182 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 3: these are precision strikes, taking out capabilities and preventing Iran 183 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 3: from building nuclear weapons that they will use against the 184 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: United States of America. I mean, they they've they've been 185 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 3: chanting death to America for most of my entire life. 186 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 3: I mean, they want to wipe out America. They certainly 187 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 3: want to wipe out Israel too, And now we know 188 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: they want to wipe out even in their Muslim neighbors 189 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 3: in there, and you know, the countries that border them, 190 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 3: like Saudi Arabia and the uae S. So the they 191 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: are dangerous, evil people. I trust President Trump not to 192 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 3: get us embroiled in a forever war. And that's not 193 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: what this is. It doesn't look anything like Iraq in Afghanistans. 194 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 3: So at the forefront of all of this, we recognizing 195 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 3: President Trump's track record, I trust. 196 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 2: Him before I let you go. 197 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: Sir I stated that Politico finally caught wind of something 198 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: very unique. 199 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: That when you have the taking. 200 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: Out of Maduro in Venezuela and the control of the 201 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: oil there, you stop the ghost ships, the oil tankers 202 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: that were Russian controlled that were being then traded to 203 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: the Chinese to help them fulfill. 204 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 2: Their oil needs. 205 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: You take out the Ayatola, you end oil flowing to 206 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: the Chinese, and now you have Politico five charts show 207 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: China's oil dilemma after. 208 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: The US strikes. 209 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: There is a solid amount of triangulation going on here. 210 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: And more to the point, and when you hear the 211 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: President talk about the friendly takeover of Cuba, which I 212 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: put forth to you is the best line I've ever. 213 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: Heard from the man in his two terms. Friendly takeover 214 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: of Cuba is on the very top of his mount 215 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 2: rushmore of statements. 216 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: That ends the ability for China to have opportunities to 217 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: dip into the Western hemisphere. It thwarts them and their 218 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: desires or hegemonic power in multiple places. Was this the goal, 219 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: the takeout of Venezuela and Iran not only because of 220 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: certainly some strategic necessary needs for US, but the largest 221 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: strategic need regarding. 222 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: China, I think so. 223 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 3: I mean, remember Iran as main pillar of the axis 224 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: of evil, allied with China. They've been allied with China 225 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 3: all along, So I don't think it was lost on 226 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 3: President Trump that this would be a byproduct and by 227 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 3: Iran's own design. I mean, China chows Iran as an ally, 228 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: and now they're feeling the pain of the consequences of 229 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: Iran's actions. So I don't think this was I don't 230 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 3: think it was an accident. I think it was probably 231 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: by design, and President Trump knew that a byproduct of 232 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 3: everything else going on there as far as Cuba goes, 233 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: I mean, more Cuban cigars for you, Tony, and certainly 234 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: taking out another street strategic position a friendly ally to 235 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 3: China is a good thing for peace and prosperity around 236 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 3: the globe. 237 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: I will wait until any remnants of the Castro regime 238 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: are gone, and then I will enjoy all the Cubans 239 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: I can. But the stuff of out of Nicaragua and 240 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: the Dominican are. 241 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: Doing me just fine. 242 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: Senator Jim Banks, I appreciate you taking the time to 243 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: be with us, to be here, senator from Indiana, thank you. 244 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: Moore's coming up. This is Tony kats today. 245 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: It's Texas primary day, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good 246 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: to be with you. And there are some fights. There 247 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: are some good fights right now. According to Emerson, you've 248 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: got Tallerrico for the Democrats and Paxton for the Republicans 249 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: winning these Senate primaries. Right now, it shows tall Errico 250 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: fifty two percent, Crockett forty seven percent. 251 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: I don't know how that's going to play out. I 252 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: really don't like. 253 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: I cannot tell you that the what you're going to 254 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: see is Paxton over Cornyn. Wesley Huntson in according to Emerson, 255 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: very far behind with seventeen percent, but Paxton the Attorney 256 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: General at forty percent, Cornyn the sitting senator at thirty 257 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: six percent. 258 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: Again, I have no idea how. 259 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: This is going to play out what we're going to 260 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: see when it's it's it's done. Because Paxton holds a 261 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: twelve point lead among likely election day voters, Cornyn held 262 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: a lead amongst early voters. I am under the belief 263 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: that what we're what we're going to see what where 264 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: the real issue is is if in a general Paxton 265 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: is a harder candidate to see victory for against Telerico 266 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: or Crockett. Cornyn's easier. I would argue Wesley Hunt is easier. 267 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: Paxton has baggage. Paxton is a is a hard guy 268 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: to to to wrap your arms around. He might be 269 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: chock full of magalove, though I just don't know if 270 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: that carries the state of Texas and tote. Remember these 271 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: are the people who vote for Ted Cruz and John Cornyon. 272 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: Cornyn is seen as well. If he's the incumbent and 273 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: he's possibly losing, uh you know right now in the 274 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: primary and primary days today, that's weak. He's considered a 275 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: squishy I guess what would we call him? 276 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: Flat out rhino? 277 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: Is that is that how we call him? 278 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: I think that that's that might be what we call him. 279 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: But there's also the possibility and I should I shouldn't 280 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: leave this out of the realm possibility that you could 281 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: have a runoff. 282 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: You might have to have a runoff. 283 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: Between Paxton and Cornyn because of how Hunt is doing. 284 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: That may come to be the case here, but in 285 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: tall Rico or in Crockett. The plus side. 286 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 2: Is that the Republicans get to run on the same message. 287 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: You know, these people are crazy, right, They're out of 288 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: their minds, they are out of their mind progressives. How 289 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: in the world could you ever trust them with Texas's future? 290 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: You can't. And that's the argument, right, So in either contest, 291 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: for the Republicans, the messaging, i would argue, is very 292 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: well near the same. 293 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: The radicalness, the anti gun methodology, beyond aggressive, the not 294 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: caring about the nation, the weakness of the border, the 295 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: weakness of the border, the weakness of the border, and 296 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: that goes you know, you can really play. 297 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 2: With that a lot, and it has the benefit of 298 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: being true. 299 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: It's just Paxton is Paxson's a harder win. Ken Paxton 300 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: makes it much easier, I would argue, for for the Democrats. 301 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: And some people might argue, well, is it position based 302 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: his opposition to to DEI, his opposition to UH. 303 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: Transgender mutilation of children. No, those things are winners. 304 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: It is the security fraud charge, fraud charges, I say fraud, right, yeah, 305 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: I think I did. 306 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: An FBI investigation. 307 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: Allegations of bribery and abuse of office, these kinds of things, 308 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: these kinds of things dog a guy and he's I 309 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: met the dude before. This is a guy who was 310 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: suspended for a while from being attorney general. I think 311 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: I think his law license was suspended for a bit, 312 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: and that stuff. 313 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: Gets used against you. He's he's, he's not necessarily lovable, 314 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: and so I I always do take a look at. 315 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: That that that when you when you are talking about 316 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: how do you win a statewide election? While I I 317 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: want the skill sets, I don't get into the touchy 318 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: feely and and and the personal. You can't argue that 319 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: likability matters a little. 320 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: It does. 321 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: Am I concerned about Texas being. 322 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: A loss. 323 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: In in uh for for in this Senate race, like 324 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: losing losing the seat, not particularly? 325 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: And I say. 326 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: This because I think that we are because of some 327 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: successes we've seen in the courts and culturally, we're at 328 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: a tipping point for the progressive insanity. And both Crockett 329 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: and tall Rico play deeply into that leftist nonsense. Now, 330 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: of course, either one of them wins, you'll see them 331 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: try and pivot hard to a more centrist position. 332 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 2: And then of course it's up to the Republican Party 333 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: say oh no, no, no, no, no, no, you put your seat 334 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: over there. 335 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: That's who you are, all the way to the left. 336 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: Too extreme for Texas. Jasmine Crockett too extreme for Texas. 337 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: James Telrico too extreme for Texas. So that's the way. 338 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, if tall Rico wins the primary, 339 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: the ads I run against him. James tall Rico and 340 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert conspired to keep a black women off of television. 341 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: That's not the Texas way. Remember Colbert had tel Rico on, 342 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: but there was an equal time issue because he wouldn't 343 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: have Jasmine Crocking on, and they spun it outs. Look 344 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: Trump's trying to keep me off the air, which was 345 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: always a lie. The ad I just played they conspired 346 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: Tela Rico and Colbert conspired to keep a black women 347 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: off of television. I'd run that ad all day, including 348 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: clips from Jasmine Crockett herself. 349 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: She doesn't win primary tonight, I'm going to be watching 350 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: Bourbon in hands for sure, because it might be a very, 351 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: very fun race to watch. This is Tony Katz today, Sextuary. 352 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 4: Know the nation has watched horrified as immigration agents killed 353 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 4: Renee Good Alex Pretty in Chicago. One of your border 354 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 4: patrol agents shot Marramore and Martinez five times after ramming 355 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,239 Speaker 4: her car. You and your agency rush to brand these 356 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 4: victims as quote, domestic terrorist. We have ample video evidence 357 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 4: and eyewitness testimony proving you are wrong here. Statements cause 358 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 4: immeasurable pain to these families. I'll be giving you an 359 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 4: opportunity to do the right thing. Do you retract these 360 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 4: statements identifying these individuals as domestic terriors? 361 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 5: You know, Senator Dermott, when we have these situations happen, 362 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 5: we always offer our condolences to those families, and I 363 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 5: offer mine as well. These are tragic situations, and I 364 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 5: can't imagine what these families go through and losing a 365 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 5: loved one. What I will say is we always work 366 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 5: to provide the American people with as much information as possible. 367 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 5: That we're relying on reports from the ground and from 368 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 5: agents that are there, and working to be transparent and 369 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 5: will continue to do all that we can to provide 370 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 5: the accurate information, the facts to people as we can. 371 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: What drives me most crazy about this question from Senator 372 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: Dick Durbin, a man most aptly named, is that you 373 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: don't hear anything for the family of Lake and Riley, 374 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: and that's the name. 375 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: We have come to know. There are many other people 376 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 2: who have been. 377 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: Killed, raped, harmed by illegal immigrants by the issues we 378 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: have because of Joe Biden's proactive open border policy. Not 379 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: just bad border policy, which you can attribute to both 380 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: parties for decades, but Joe Biden's. 381 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 2: Active open border policy where he was trying. 382 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: Clearly the administration wanted to do harm to the nation. 383 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be here, Good 384 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: to be with you. I appreciate you taking the time. 385 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: Secretary Nome there giving the testimony. Do the right thing, 386 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: apologize to these families. I don't mind if she does 387 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: or if she doesn't. I don't I mind the idea 388 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: that somehow it's only wrong here. 389 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: And it wasn't wrong over there. 390 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: I mind that the Democratic Party pays no attention to 391 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: when Americans are violated, when they are. 392 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 2: Sexually attacked, when they are killed. 393 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: There's no conversation, and that's the part that's so horrifically ugly. Also, 394 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: I would argue that Renee Goods family needs no apology. 395 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: I didn't want her dead. I want an investigation. 396 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: I don't have the acumen to know whether or not 397 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: it was a good shooting. I don't listen to people 398 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: on social media who claim they know things stop it. 399 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: But I will tell you that she blocks traffic. I 400 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: will tell you she did not listen to a direct order. 401 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: I will tell you she backed up her vehicle. What 402 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 1: if an officer had been behind the vehicle, and if 403 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: it wasn't for a patch of ice where she's her 404 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: tires skid it out, well, then I believe she would 405 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: have been directly into an officer, as opposed to the 406 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: turning and only sideswiping an officer. She hit an officer 407 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: with her car. She contributed to her death. That's what 408 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: Renee good did. I'm not listening and neither should you 409 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: to anybody else who wants to make believe on this subject. 410 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: Alex Preddy got himself involved in trying to interrupt ice. 411 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 2: Does that mean he should have been shot? Again? I 412 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: want the investigation. Having the gun on. 413 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: You is not the same as firing the gun at someone. 414 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: If you are a citizen license to carry a firearm, 415 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: of course, you're allowed to carry that firearm wherever you like. 416 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: I remember when Republican Peter King wanted legislation that said 417 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: you couldn't carry a firearm with the next number of 418 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: feet of a member of Congress. 419 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: No, no, no, you don't be a member of Congress. I 420 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: lose my rights because you got elected. Screw that. 421 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: We don't elect kings. Remember, no Kings. Now you want 422 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: to tell me that it's wrong to have a firearm 423 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: on you. No, no, no, no, no, that's not the 424 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: correct answer. What is important to note is that Alex 425 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: Pretty was known to ice and to law enforcement for 426 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: being violent. We have the video of him breaking a 427 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: car's tail light, spinning at officers and the rest. So 428 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: we have this video screaming and yelling, etc. 429 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 2: So he was known. 430 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: He did put himself in the conversation, he did put 431 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: himself in harm's way. Then the firearm notice, Then shots 432 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: were fired. And I still say I want the investigation there. 433 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: But don't tell me Alex Pretty is some kind of 434 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: pure innocent. It's different than whether or not he should 435 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: have been shut. But the idea of the apology, the humbling, 436 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: the look, how terrible we are. I'm not buying into this, 437 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: and we shouldn't. We noted that in No Orleans you 438 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: have over ten thousand people who were deported. How come 439 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: there's no video out of New Orleans of people fighting ice. 440 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: That's exactly the point. What the left likes is the 441 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: organized fight. They wanted this moment. 442 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: They don't. 443 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: Actually, I don't believe for a second they care about 444 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: people dying. 445 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: Because they didn't care about Lake and Riley. They didn't 446 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: care about these young women. Why in the world are 447 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 2: they not. 448 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: Mourning the death of Arena Sarutska on that light rail 449 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: in Charlotte. 450 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: Why don't they care? 451 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: Because to do that would be to shine a light 452 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: on the idea that we do indeed have a problem 453 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: with those we have allowed into the country who should 454 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: not be here. They would then have to note there's 455 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: a difference between legal and illegal information immigration. There's legal 456 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: and illegal immigration, and since they don't want that information. 457 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 2: Getting out, that's why I use the word information there. Please, 458 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: I know how to talk. I'm not Joe Biden. I'm smart, 459 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: I know things. Biden. It's all the same, and am 460 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: I the only one who laughed at that? I did 461 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 2: it for me. I did it for me. They don't 462 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: want that information out. 463 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: They don't want people to recognize there's a difference between 464 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: legal and illegal immigration. They wanted to be purposely confusing, 465 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: so they can't go about noting when someone does something 466 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: like murder, like rape, it never would have happened if 467 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: they weren't in the country to begin with. And they 468 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: never have to answer the question as to why Joe 469 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: Biden led America on a basically a suicide mission for 470 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: four years? Why did he want Americans murdered? But for 471 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: Christin no, why won't you apologize? It's why I don't 472 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: take Durban seriously, and. 473 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: I would advise that you don't either. 474 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 4: Where did you get that information? In the hearing recent 475 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 4: hearing before the his Gag Committee, CBP and ICE officials 476 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 4: testified under oath that their agencies did not inform you 477 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 4: that pretty was a domestic terrorist during that hearing. 478 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 5: During that hearing, I was getting reports from the ground 479 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 5: from agents at the scene, and I would say that 480 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 5: it was a chaotic scene as you've seen in Minneapolis 481 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 5: and Saint Paul. As Immigration enforcement has gone forward and 482 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 5: we've worked at targeting the worst of the worst. That 483 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 5: many times our agents have been faced with violence victims. 484 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 4: Of domestic terrorists is a way to calm the scene. 485 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 5: These violent terrorists have put them in a situation where 486 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 5: they've they've been. It's unprecedented what these agents have faced. 487 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 5: It so that situation on the ground that day was 488 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 5: chaotic and it was something that they. 489 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 2: Were transfer information. 490 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: Well, if we're going to get into who we're branding, 491 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: what can we talk about January sixth, Senator durban I 492 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: will agree that the immediate push to label them as 493 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: domestic terrorists was the White House and the administration. We're 494 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: making them to set the narrative. And I actually said 495 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: at the time, very impressive, because usually that doesn't happen. 496 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: They don't try to set narratives. 497 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: So this is the Trump administration doing something new here, 498 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: something that I believe Republicans should be doing with more regularity. 499 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: The problem they had is that calling them domestic terrorists 500 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: didn't hold. It didn't stick. People didn't buy in what 501 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: are you talking about. You can't just say because someone 502 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: disagrees with you that are a domestic terrorist. You have 503 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: to be able to have the case and then be 504 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: able to make the claim. 505 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 2: The left makes a claim no. 506 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: Matter what, and everybody buys in. For the right, you 507 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: actually have to have a little something there. And that 508 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: was the problem. The reality did not comport to what 509 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: people consider domestic terrorists, and the White House didn't back 510 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: it up. They didn't push it again and again and 511 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: again and again and again. And so what you have 512 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: here with Durbin going at it is what happens when 513 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: you aren't prepared to and your position with strength, with punch, 514 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: with overwhelming fervor. 515 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 2: But to Dick Durbin, he was okay with. 516 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: Labeling people regarding January sixth, people who were invited into 517 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: the Capitol are not terrorists and they're not insurrectionists. 518 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 2: That's all a lie. 519 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: And it's a it's a giant amount of scumbaggery. So 520 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: let's meet people who are normal. But don't you dare 521 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: center Durbin, ask for normal? Don't you dare do that 522 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: when you don't provide it? And that's what we notice here, 523 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: That's what we have in this in this opening salvo 524 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 1: where the Secretary of Homeland Security is speaking in front 525 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: of the Senate Oversight Committee, Now Durbin wasn't the only 526 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: one asking questions. I get a kick sometimes out of 527 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: Lindsay gram Sometimes I think Lindsay Graham is ridiculous. 528 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 2: This was Senator Graham. 529 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 6: Under Graham, thank you very much for coming. Can you 530 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 6: hear me? 531 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 532 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,239 Speaker 6: Thank hi weekend, Thanks very much. 533 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 7: Let's talk about the scope of the problem you inherited here. 534 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 7: My Democratic friends said that sensible immigration is what they've 535 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 7: been pursuing, talked about the Gang of Eight and a 536 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 7: lot of things I've. 537 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 6: Worked on with. 538 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 7: Would you say that the four years of Biden was 539 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 7: sensible immigration? 540 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't either. I would say it's obliteration of 541 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 6: the border. 542 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 7: Eleven million people came into this country during President Biden's term. 543 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 6: He obliterated all controls. 544 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 7: We sent them all over the country and planes, trains 545 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 7: and automobiles. And what's the scope of the problem you inherited? 546 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 7: How would you describe the mess that Biden gave you? 547 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 6: Very quickly? 548 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 5: Our country was in a chaotic time and invaded over 549 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 5: our southern border. Millions and millions of people came into 550 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 5: this country. 551 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 6: Eleven thousand murderers, right, Yes, that is correct. 552 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 7: Twenty seven hundred percent increase and people on the terrorifts 553 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 7: watch list, right, that's correct. 554 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 6: During his four years President. 555 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 7: Biden allowed twenty seven hundred percent increase of people on 556 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 7: the Terraff's watch list to come to this country and 557 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 7: twenty twenty three one hundred and seventy two. 558 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 6: Do you know where those people are? No, not necessarily, 559 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 6: so we don't know where they are. 560 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 7: They're here, but we don't know where they are because 561 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 7: they didn't care if they came and they haven't really 562 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 7: looked very hard. So sensible immigration died on Biden's watch. 563 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 7: It was replaced by out of control open border, just 564 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 7: absolute chaos. And to all the people on the front 565 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 7: row that have lost loved ones. 566 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 6: I am sorry. 567 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 7: Your family members are a victim of an out of 568 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 7: control democratic led effort to obliterate the border. 569 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 6: And every senator on. 570 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 7: This are the album Asi L did nothing about it. 571 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 2: And that is why I like the guy from time 572 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 2: to time. That's how you fight it. 573 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: That's how you hit time and again and again and 574 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: again and again. That's how you hit. You did this, 575 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: You said nothing. You led to people's death. Your total silence, 576 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: your complicity, you're being okay with an open border. 577 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: You did this you let these people die, Shame on you. 578 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: That is exactly how it should be handled. It's also 579 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 2: got the benefit of being true, and it has to 580 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: be said again and again and again. So here's an 581 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 2: example of a winning tactic because you can back it up, 582 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 2: you can engage strength with it, you can engage resolve 583 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 2: with it. You I would have to reach for it. 584 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 2: Part of the problem of the. 585 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: Conservative and to some extent I'm going to say the 586 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: Republican is that they still have the capacity for shame 587 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: when the leftist clearly doesn't. 588 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 2: And I'm not engaged in hyperbole. 589 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: Look at what people like Eric Swallwell and Jasmine Krockett 590 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: and Adam Shift do. Look at what they do. We 591 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: should be opposed to open borders. We should be opposed 592 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: to attacking law enforcement when they're trying to enforce those borders. 593 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: We should investigate when American citizens are killed by law enforcement. 594 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 2: Of course we should. And by the way, I don't 595 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 2: know if every member of ICE or CBP was involved. 596 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 2: Is somehow some innocent person. 597 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: Just because that person is engaged in something illegal and moral, 598 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: et cetera, doesn't mean that you get a level of 599 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: carte blanche when you work for the government. 600 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 2: We should be people who could say that I just did. 601 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: But Democrats are responsible and have blood on their hands 602 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: for what has happened with the border over the last years. Absolutely, 603 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: and Senator Lindsay Graham should keep saying exactly that all 604 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: Republicans should be saying it. I'm Tony Katz. This is 605 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. So the markets are going to go 606 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: nuts and oil prices are going to go nuts. 607 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: And allow me to be the. 608 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: Guy who says, relax for a moment, Tony Katz. Tony Katz. 609 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: Today people are going to scream and yell, and it's 610 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: the end of times and this war in Iran is 611 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: ruining our economy. Look what Trump has done. The market 612 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: dropped at one point today twelve hundred. It could drop higher. 613 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: Where it drops, where it ends totally different things. It 614 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: dropped a lot yesterday, it didn't end. 615 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: Down a lot. And we have the capacity to make 616 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 2: these things back. 617 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 1: The oil prices, absolutely, the purb barrel price is up. 618 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 2: Brent crude was over eighty a barrel. That's stuff that 619 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 2: comes out of the oceans. The West Texas crude was 620 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 2: seventy six dollars a barrel and it could end higher. 621 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: The point that I make to you, and we're already 622 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 2: seeing gas prices up. 623 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: The point that I make to you is I don't 624 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: think that gas prices are gonna stay up monumentally over 625 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: an extended period. That would be really damaging for midterms. 626 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely could be very, very damaging for a midterm election. 627 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: But right now I don't see it as such. What 628 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: are we now going to pump out of Venezuela? What 629 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: now is gonna happen with Iranian oil? All these things 630 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,919 Speaker 1: are now in play. What we do know, and Politico 631 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: a day late to us discussing it yesterday, China is 632 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: really out of luck. 633 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:52,479 Speaker 2: No Venezuelan oil, no Iranian oil. Oh, it's gonna sting 634 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 2: to be them. It's gonna sting to be them. 635 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: And they're gonna have to come to the regular market 636 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: now instead of stealing it, and they're gonna spend a 637 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: lot of money if they get it at all. 638 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 2: Find everything at Tony Katz dot com tomorrow. Everyone take 639 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 2: care
