1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: Live from Vall Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America. 2 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today. It's political theater to them. They've 3 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 2: produced the Americans pain to a political prop I'll just 4 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: say this briefly. I'm gonna let the other leaders speak here, 5 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 2: but just a few things that you've seen while we're 6 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 2: doing all this work. We're working around the clock to 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: deliver on all these things I've just listed. Democrats are 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: playing games. 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: Speaker Mike Johnson going on even further offense. Is this 10 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: spurred by the Democrats and this ridiculousness of confrontations in 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: the hallways, or is this spurred by the fact that 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: if you're going to win a messaging game, you have 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: to keep messaging. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: be with you. Find everything over at Tony kats dot com. 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: Day nine of the shutdown. And I think Mike Johnson here, 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: the speaker is actually perturbed, is actually angered at what 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: he's seeing from the political left and the Shenanigans. 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 3: And he starts going down. 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: This list it was oppressor they had earlier today, going 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: down this list of what it is that he's seeing. 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: They filmed themselves wandering the capital, being on doors and 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: posting flyers and pretending to look for their colleagues. They 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: hosted a live stream. Oh it was so embarrassing House Democrats. 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: They hosted this live stream where they ate candy and 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: told terrible jokes to each other. They had an audience 26 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: smaller than this room for the whole country. 27 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 4: All right. 28 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I didn't see that. I didn't 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: know about that. But I would assume that's how every 30 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: Democratic meeting goes, not much of an audience eating candy 31 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: while they tell you that you should eat kale, and 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: then they make bad jokes. I assume that's how most 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: people think the meetings go. Democrats exact that, Republicans do it, 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: et cetera. But I didn't see it. I did not 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: see it. It does go to this issue that the 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: Left as with connecting and how incredibly inauthentic they come 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: across all the time, constantly, continually no way of really 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: connecting with the American. 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: People, because they don't. 40 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: And that part can't be forgotten outside of anything having 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: to do with shutdown. The left doesn't represent America. The 42 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: left represents college elites. That's who the left represents represents 43 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: entertainment elites. It doesn't represent Americans. None of these people 44 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: sit on a bar stool. Now, of course there's some 45 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: Democrats who sit on a bar stool, just none of 46 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: the people in Congress sit on a bar stool. If 47 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell sat on a bar stool, he'd put down 48 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: one of those paper things you utilize for your toilet 49 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: when you're in a public place. That's how he'd feel 50 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: about it. You think Nancy Pelosi has a way of 51 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: connecting with Americans? 52 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 3: Do you think there's. 53 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: Anything rugged or or or normal about her? 54 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: Anything? Just neighborly. Stop it. 55 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: Stop kidding yourselves. That's not you them. They need to 56 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: stop kidding themselves. They don't connect at all. So I 57 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: haven't seen this video, but I'm not surprised that they 58 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: made a video that makes them look like the out 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: of touch people that they are. 60 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: The leader of the Democrat Party is bragging about the 61 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: costs that this is being born by the American people. 62 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: And just yesterday I had two Democrat senators come over 63 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: and stage a failed publicity stunt outside my office. I 64 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: heard about it, walked down and confronted them and said 65 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: them right on the truth. 66 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: Now, if you didn't hear about this. This was Senator Rubio. No, 67 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I said, Senator Rubio, shame on me. This 68 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: was Senator Kelly, because Rubio is now sexual of State 69 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: of Arizona, and Senator Diego of Arizona, and they're standing 70 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: in front of the Speaker's office. 71 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: They're there. 72 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: The rotunda is there. I think it's statutory halls. It's 73 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: a rotunda, and they're talking to the assembled press. 74 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 5: We are here to talk about the healthcare of millions 75 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 5: of Americans just being driven on the cliff. 76 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: And the reason this. 77 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 5: Is going to happen is because the guy who works 78 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 5: in this office right here is keeping all of his 79 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 5: Republican colleagues his caucus on an extended summer vacation. 80 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: That's Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona speaking. They're standing next 81 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: to Senator rub In Diego. The Speaker already did his job. 82 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: The cr passed the House. What does this have to 83 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: do with anything. You're in the Senate. The Senate has 84 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: to vote on this, and Senate Democrats won't vote for 85 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: a continuing resolution to only take us through November twenty first, 86 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: to keep the government open and to keep the military 87 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: from getting to keep the military paid. They don't want 88 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: the military paid. They've made this decision, not me. You 89 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: see what I did there. That's how easy this is. 90 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: So they're standing in front of the Speaker's office calling 91 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: him out, and Speaker Johnson's like, you think I'm afraid 92 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: of you, booble. 93 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 5: Uh, he will not come back to negotiate with us. 94 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 5: We are ready, Ruben and I are here to talk 95 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 5: about these issues seriously, to try to get something done 96 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 5: to then get the government reopened after we fix this 97 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 5: healthcare crisis. 98 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 3: Oh hey, hey here, appreciate. 99 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: Good to see y'all. 100 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: Hey. 101 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 3: So he comes right out, Hey, how you doing. 102 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,559 Speaker 1: Diego starts and like they start with the double team, 103 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: and Speaker Johnson's like, why don't you set it yourselves down, kids. 104 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: I'ms woman and friend of ours and to lead, you know, yeah, 105 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: reopen the government. 106 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: So back that she just keeps on moving.

We're happy that you should elected. She's on 111 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: her father's seat. 112 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: That's fantastic. 113 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: We have a long tradition here in a process of 114 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: how we administer the oak to a member. You know, 115 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: you served here for a while. We're going to do 116 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: that as soon as we get back to work. But 117 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: we need the lights turned back on, so we encourage 118 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: both of you to go open the government. 119 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 3: So I am. 120 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: So they're talking about a congresswoman elect from Arizona. 121 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 3: She takes over the seat from. 122 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: Her father, Raul Grihalva, who was a progressive and I 123 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: was not a fan at Alita Griholva is her name. 124 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: She won the special election there, this is Arizona seventh district, 125 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: and she has not been sworn in yet. And Speaker 126 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: Johnson absolutely playing politics. They're saying, hey, you got to 127 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: open the government, then we can swear in. You got 128 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: to go do your job. Is it playing politics? Ten percent? 129 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: But isn't it interesting that they're talking about healthcare being 130 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, driven off for Cliff. That's how Senator Kelly 131 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: started the conversation. And then immediately it's why aren't you 132 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: put swearing her in? Why isn't she being seated in 133 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: the House. I thought the conversation was about healthcare, didn't you. 134 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: Isn't that what they said? Turns out not so much 135 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: conversation about healthcare. You showed up in front of his 136 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: door and you don't even have the ability to engage 137 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: the conversation. Good lord, what do you what are you saying? 138 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: And then it went on from there. 139 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: Anxious to goodmsure the open her. 140 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: This is as soon as you guys. 141 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 7: Woke beyond Epstein. 142 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: You don't want to be on Epsen discharge. 143 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: How much is because you're totally observed. 144 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: You guys are extroverts in red hary and eat your 145 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: acting them all. There's nothing to do with Epstein. The 146 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 3: House Oversec Committee, the House. 147 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: Over Sec committed, he's a working upon the Epstein files 148 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: right now, releasing thirty four thousand. 149 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 3: Pages and more on the windows levings finished. Let me 150 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: finish the House oversc Committee. 151 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: Come excuses. 152 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: This is an excuse so she doesn't sign on to that. 153 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: But I know so now you're not bringing her on 154 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: because she won't. She'll be a vote to open up 155 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: all the Epstein files. Allow me to say, for the record, 156 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: open up the Epstein files. Fantastic, that'd be great. We 157 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: already know that Pam Bondi screwed this up. We already 158 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: know Trump did himself no favors by saying this story 159 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, of course it does. 160 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: He misread his own base. It was a mistake. 161 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: It was a mistake. You think the Epstein files are 162 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: just about Trump. That's what Democrats want you to believe. 163 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: That's what they want to say. There's a great example 164 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: here of we thought it was about healthcare, no weight, 165 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: it's about your not seating this member. And now you're 166 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: not seating this member because of the Epstein files, because 167 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: sh'll vote to release them. So now we have two 168 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: conversations in the span of two minutes, and nothing is 169 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: about healthcare. Nothing is about what they said it was about. 170 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean, that's outrageously telling. Meanwhile, back to Speaker Mike 171 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: Johnson at this presser earlier today, they. 172 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: Came to this side of the capital to try to 173 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 2: put on a little political show for their online audience, 174 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: and then they walk right back over there and voted 175 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: for the sixth time to keep the government shut down. 176 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 3: Give me a break. 177 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: Democrats seem to be doing everything except the one thing 178 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: that Americans desperately need and deserve, and that's passing our 179 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: clean cr to get the government operating again. That's all 180 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 2: we're asking in them. 181 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 3: Stop the political. 182 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: Stunts, stop the madness, stops saying that you're enjoying inflicting 183 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: pain to the American people for goodness sakes, and pass 184 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: the clean cr in the shutdown. Today, I'm going to 185 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: turn it over first to our chairman, Chairman Mike Bost. 186 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: So they turned over to Bost to talk about what's 187 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,119 Speaker 1: going on with veterans and saying, look at what Democrats 188 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: are doing keeping our military and our vets from getting 189 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: either paid or the services that they need. Again, of 190 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: course this is political and applying the pressure points where necessary. 191 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: Everybody's going to try and do their thing. By the way, that's. 192 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 3: Boss, he's out of Illinois, Bost. 193 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 4: Now, one of the concerns that we're already he is 194 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,599 Speaker 4: is a GI bill. Right now, we're hearing rumors that 195 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 4: many as many of half of the people that have 196 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 4: a GI bill, they're not receiving GI bill payments to 197 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 4: their universities. And therefore when they get on the line 198 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 4: to try to call to make sure that their education 199 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: will continue and it will be paid for, it's try 200 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 4: and straighten it out. There's no one there to answer 201 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 4: the phones. 202 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: That is a concern. 203 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 4: Day to day our veterans are trying to make ends 204 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 4: meet day to day, they're trying to hold on to 205 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 4: their benefits, and day to day they keep hearing these 206 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 4: concerns and they're going to continue to get worse. 207 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: As a veteran and as. 208 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: Someone who tries to provide for them, the fear that 209 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 4: I have for them is as this goes on, it 210 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 4: will only get worse. It's not a game. 211 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: It affects real people's lives. I don't disagree. I'm not 212 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: questioning the truism of that. 213 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: And as a matter of a tool utilized to get 214 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: Democrats to vote for thisntinuing resolution, they're the ones being intransigent. 215 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: Fine, I have a real issue. 216 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: Trump floated the idea of a peace of legislation to 217 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: get the military paid, and Speaker Johnson's like, we're not 218 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: doing that, and Drum's like, yeah, we're gonna work on it. 219 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: We'll try and get that done. 220 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: If the military gets paid and this one gets paid 221 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: and that one gets paid, can. 222 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 3: I ask what is the problem with the shutdown at all? 223 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: If everybody gets paid and everyone gets back pay and 224 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: everyone's covering, you can't do this. You can't do that, 225 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, to shut down. There is no pain 226 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: in a shutdown. So therefore shutdowns don't matter if everyone's 227 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: still getting paid, of what purpose is the continuing resolution? 228 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: This is my problem. 229 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: Congress has all these ways to work themselves out of 230 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: the issue that they've created, so they don't feel any 231 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: of the pain from the electors. The electorate, I should say, us, 232 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: and then nobody's feeling it. 233 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: What's the point. No one has to do their job. 234 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think it's ridiculous. If there's a shutdown, 235 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: people don't get paid, and that's. 236 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 3: The way it goes. That's the way goes. 237 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm not being rude. I am discussing Congress doing their 238 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: damn job. I am not interested in giving them any 239 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: level of backstop to doing that job and saying that 240 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: the military gets paid regardless of this. One gets paid regardless. 241 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: That's crazed. 242 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 3: That's nutty. We should not do that. 243 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: This is a bad idea, this idea of legislation to 244 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: get the military paid. That is different than whether or 245 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: not the military is going to feel pain if there 246 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: is no continuing resolution, if there is no spending bill. 247 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 4: Another program that's out there that is concerning is those 248 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: that might be needing home health care. 249 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 3: Those are private providers. 250 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 4: Now, like I said, Secretary Collins is trying to shift 251 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: things around, but the authorization language expired on the first 252 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 4: of October. 253 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: Folks, this is not a game. 254 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: It's very very serious. And let me tell you this 255 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 4: as well as I watch us coming up on the 256 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: deadline on the fifteenth, that the first time that are 257 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 4: not only our veterans and dealating with this, but our 258 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 4: military personnel are young enlisted, young enlisted that may have 259 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 4: spouses and children that are making it payday to payday. 260 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 3: Or all of a sudden trying to figure. 261 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 4: Out I'm living payday to pay day, but I'm going 262 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 4: to get no paydue. Let me tell you that's personal 263 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 4: to me. That's who I was when I joined the 264 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 4: United States Marine Corps. I was eighteen years old and 265 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 4: turned nineteen in boot camp, got married down a boot camp, 266 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 4: had a child in for a short period of time. 267 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 4: It was during the Carter administration, and we were living 268 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 4: payday to payday. And when you saw no payde not 269 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 4: everybody's got a parent that they can call, have a 270 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 4: credit rating where you can actually call a banker. 271 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 3: And you know what, rin still do. 272 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 4: Food's still got to be put on the table and 273 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 4: for someone to say, hey, you know. 274 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 3: What, we're getting better for us every day. It's not 275 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 3: getting better for them every day. 276 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 4: And they are the people that are standing on the 277 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 4: front line to keep this freedom of this nation in place. 278 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 3: We are going to continue to do our job. We 279 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: did our job. We sent it to the Senate. 280 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 4: All of these things that I talked about were in 281 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 4: that continuing resolution, and we made sure from our point 282 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 4: part at the BA Committee that they were. It is 283 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 4: time that the Democrats quit playing games with those people 284 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 4: who they exclaim that they're all for our veterans and 285 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 4: those who serve this nation. Thank you, thank you. 286 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: I'm not that familiar with Mike bost Out of Illinois, 287 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: who is the chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee, and 288 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: it's because it's one of those committees you know that's 289 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: not sexy. There's not a lot of money, you don't 290 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: control things. I thought he was very effective right there. 291 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: I you know, I talk about how the left doesn't connect. 292 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: I think it's very obvious to see that Chairman Boss 293 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: does connect. He connects. He is somebody like I know 294 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: that guy. That guy's my neighbor, that guy's my uncle 295 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: who served that guy I know. I thought he did 296 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: a very very good job there. I'm gonna try and 297 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: get him on the show I was. I thought that 298 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: was effective. Meanwhile, the shutdown continues. Will Democrats come to 299 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: their senses? 300 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 5: No? 301 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: No, But can they peel off some Democrats who don't 302 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: want to deal with the political pain and vote for 303 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: this thing? 304 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 3: I think? 305 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: So, this is Tony Kats today. So a peace deal, well, 306 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: hopefully it will be a peace deal. Jimas signed, Israel signed. Fighting, 307 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: so we're told, has stopped, and hopefully we're gonna see 308 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: the hostages returned any day now, and hopefully all twenty 309 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: of them that are said to be alive are actually alive. 310 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: Tony Kats, Tony Katz today, good to be with you. 311 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: Israel is giving up two hundred and fifty Palestinian prisoners, 312 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: and of course progressives have called dumb hostages. 313 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 3: It's a fraud, it's lie. 314 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: These are terrorists who engage in activity against Israel. The 315 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: hostages were taken from a music festival. There's a difference, 316 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: but I don't have to explain it to you. These 317 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: people are just ridiculous. 318 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: The point is everybody is turning to Trump and saying 319 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 3: well done, and thank you. You know, it's kind of. 320 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: Amazing what can be done if you just look someone 321 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: in the eye and say, would you just shut up 322 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: already and handle this, which is kind of what happened. 323 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: Enough enough talk, enough rhetoric, enough this enough that you're 324 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: not gonna get everything you want, get these people back. 325 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: Let's go, Hey, Hummas, The answer is no, you don't 326 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: get to keep acting like this will hurt bad. 327 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 3: End it now. 328 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: Hamas's statements don't show that they're actually going to end. 329 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: And I have no faith in Hamas whatsoever. What I 330 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: want for the Israelis is for them to get their 331 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: people back. I don't want people in horror and in 332 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: torture for two years. I don't want that for anybody, 333 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: and I don't think you do either, of course, So 334 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: I'm happy. 335 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 3: To see this. 336 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: And man, I'd love to be wrong. Let Hamas just 337 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: slink away and never reconstitutes. And here we are the 338 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: fact that their words go against what I just said. 339 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: I can hope, and I could also hope that Israel 340 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: hopes while being very very prepared for when Hamas, of 341 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: course were next on the deal. But what's interesting is 342 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: that there's some interesting responses going on from the political 343 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: left community. This was Washington Post writer David Ignatius on MSNBC. 344 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 6: I can remember in the month or so after over 345 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 6: seven and Israeli a senior official saying to me, we 346 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 6: are so disoriented and traumatized by this war. The United 347 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 6: States is going to have to make decisions for US. 348 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 6: Joe Biden could never do that, and Donald Trump was 349 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 6: able to do it, and did it at the decisive 350 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 6: moment when he said, essentially, this war must end and 351 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 6: Israel cannot annex the West Bank, which many right wing 352 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 6: Israelis wanted. In the same way, he reached out to 353 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 6: the Arabs and said I'm serious about peace and began 354 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 6: to work with them quietly. Since Steve Whitcoff an unlikely emissary, 355 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 6: but Witcoff developed an extraordinarily close relationship, in particular with 356 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 6: the Qataris, and behind the scenes they have moved week 357 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 6: by week toward the deal that they announced a week ago, 358 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 6: the twenty point Plan. 359 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: Those are people cheering in Gaza, people been cheering in Israel. 360 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 3: You heard that. 361 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: Underneath seems to have been successful in a whole bunch 362 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: of things, whether it's prisoners in Russia or this good 363 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: we could use some more successes. 364 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 3: I hope it holds, really do. Peace would be nice, 365 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 3: don't you think. 366 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: But I live in the real world and I understand 367 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: what hamas is about, and I don't think they change 368 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: overnight now. I think peace is temporary and fleeting if that, 369 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: which would be, of course be what life is all about. 370 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 3: That I look forward to these hostages being home with their. 371 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: Families, and those who have perished getting their proper funerals. 372 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: And I could ask enough.

Now, I wish 423 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 3: this was the case, right, I would. 424 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: I would think it's fantastic if this was the case 425 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: across the city. But it's not. 426 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 3: It just isn't. 427 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: It's important I say this. I mean every single word 428 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: of this. It is imperative that the people who vote 429 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: for Mamdani suffer with their vote. I'm sorry that others 430 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: are going to suffer. 431 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 3: I think that that stinks. 432 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: But I have zero issue with leftists in New York 433 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: suffering because this is who they voted for. 434 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 8: This is what you did. 435 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: You did this to yourselves. 436 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 3: We warned you, boo boo, We told you it was 437 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 3: a bad idea. 438 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: We said, don't do it, and you said, we know 439 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: what's best. Well, now live with it. I want them 440 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: to live with it. Nothing would make me happier than 441 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: them living with it. The problem is sometimes it's in 442 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 1: a place where you have to live with it too, 443 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: and I don't. 444 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 3: Think that's fair. That's the horror. 445 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: Oh, if you tell me if things are bad in 446 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: New York, it's their problem, it doesn't mean anything to me. 447 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: But where I live, when you tell me how things 448 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: are bad there, it doesn't matter. But I live here, 449 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: so I got to care about it. What I care 450 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: about in this case, moreover, is the idea that these 451 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: people are able to win elections and they are being 452 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: successful in the radicalizing of younger Americans. It's more work 453 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: for us to do. Speaking of being radicalized, is that 454 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: what we're going to learn about. The guy who was 455 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: arrested for starting the fires in Palisades, the fires that 456 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: ravage Los Angeles, Los Angeles did nothing about that. The 457 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: mayor of Los Angeles. Karen Bass wasn't in town for 458 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: the fire departments, or I should say the fire executives, 459 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: the fire chiefs, who didn't have water in reservoirs and 460 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: were so busy hiring lesbians that they didn't do anything 461 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: about hiring people who knew about firefighting. I'm not saying 462 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: lesbian doesn't know about firefighting. I'm saying that the lesbians 463 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: they hired clearly didn't know anything about firefighting, cutting budgets, etc. 464 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: And you say to me, Tony, why'd you bring up 465 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: the lesbians because they did all of that kind of 466 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: hiring mattered more than anything else. I don't think that's 467 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: the way it should go. I think what matters most 468 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: is being able to fight fires. So, after this long investigation, 469 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: they arrested this twenty nine year old, and everybody wants 470 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: to say, this is a this is a Florida residence. 471 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 3: He's from Florida. 472 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: He lived in California and then moved to Florida after 473 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: the fires. 474 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 9: As I know it, I'm Bill Saley, the acting United 475 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 9: States Attorney for the Central District of California.

No, 510 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: we'll give you a reasonable price for it. You don't 511 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: think that's coming. All these people are going to be 512 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: zoned out of their homes. Why to quote Rama Manuel, 513 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: this is a recording never let a crisis go to 514 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: waste because it allows you to do things you could 515 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: not normally do, could not otherwise do. So that's what 516 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: we've got. That's what you've got there. And Newsom's complaining 517 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: about the federal government. I don't know what aida is 518 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: supposed to be coming or not. And I will happily 519 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: see if I can find some information. But if you 520 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: want to talk about complaints, why can't the people rebuild? 521 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: And if you want to talk about focus, this is 522 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: also newsome. Joe Rogan is too chicken to have me 523 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: on his show and expose his listeners to the truth. 524 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry what I guess it's because Rogan was discussing 525 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: California and Californian realities. 526 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 8: They don't have any faith in Gavin Newsom, which is 527 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 8: kind of funny because he wants to. 528 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 3: Be president so bad. 529 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 8: You can't ruin a city and then go on to 530 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 8: ruin a state and say, guys, that was just practice. 531 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 8: Once I get it as a president, I'm going to 532 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 8: fix it, fix it all. 533 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 3: I mean, it's so crazy. 534 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 8: But he's such a great Politician's smooth, No, no, think 535 00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 8: he's terrible for low competition. No one who is good 536 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 8: is competing against him. 537 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: There's no sense I should say he's not I should 538 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 3: say smooth. He comes. I mean, he's a good bullet artist. 539 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,479 Speaker 8: But it's like, what the things that he says when 540 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 8: he gets confronted with with the highest this and the 541 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 8: highest everybody's leaving, you have the highest unemployment you have 542 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 8: the highest homelessness Hollywood. He's missing. You killed Hollywood, like 543 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 8: Hollywood doesn't exist anymore. It's literally gone, mandated vaccines for 544 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 8: kids that didn't need them. 545 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: You guys, there are a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom. 546 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't think he said anything that is particularly wrong. 547 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: Homelessness is massive, unemployment. Of course, money missing, well really 548 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: it's it's about money misappropriated. Hollywood is dead, never mind 549 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: just by AI can't. They don't make movies in Hollywood anymore. 550 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: And so Newsome wants to say that California is the 551 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: fourth largest economy in the world, number one and manufacturing, 552 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: number one in farming, number one new business starts, number 553 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: one for tech and VC investments, number one for fourt 554 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: five hundred companies, and number one for public higher education. 555 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: First things first, if I can governor Newsom, the people 556 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: the Palisades can't rebuild. 557 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,719 Speaker 3: Secondly, people are moving out of California left and right. 558 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: I can go back articles ten years to things Joel 559 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: Cokin was writing with the Manhattan in Student City Journal. 560 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: Dear Lord, there's nothing new about this. It has been 561 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: a death spiral, and it continues to be Number one. 562 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: A new business starts could have to do with population 563 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: and has nothing to do with whether or not these 564 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: businesses are successful or find that they can't operate. Because 565 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: you have had major companies leave California. 566 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 3: Say so, that. 567 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: Silly, But you're focused on flexing and not focused on people. 568 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 3: And now you're saying that. 569 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: The Trump administration is not focused on the people of California. 570 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what aid was reached out for. I 571 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: do know that, just like New York, California suffers because 572 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: they vote poorly they do. They vote for failure and 573 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, they vote for failure in Karen Bass This 574 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: is what they get. New Yorkers vote for failure and 575 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: Kathy Hokeel and now they're going to vote for failure 576 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: in zar On Mom Dannie and why it matters that 577 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: failure is coming for your city because these failed people, 578 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: these people failed ideas and failed philosophies, they don't go away. 579 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: They just try to find more ways to push their 580 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: failed philosophy. We can get into why another time. I'm 581 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: Tony Katz.

And the audience that laughed, My gosh, 639 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: I don't think you quite understand what's happening. When they 640 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: start shooting at you for speaking. Bad things happen, and 641 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 1: there is nothing funny about it. But it's Trevor Noah. 642 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: You see, that's usually what happens. It's Trevor Noah. What 643 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: else do you expect. It's a leftist, it's what else 644 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: do you expect. You would expect a comic to know 645 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: the difference. You'd expect a comic to understand how problematic 646 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: it is for them. Comics were getting attacked on stage 647 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: and people said, my gosh, this is an affront on 648 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 1: fleet speech. 649 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 3: This is so terrible. 650 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk gets assassinated.
