1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Why from Baull Hartbiner and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today would.

3
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: Have witnessed something that was really incredible. The entertainment last

4
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: night was incredible, including our great opera singer, but including

5
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: the military. The talent and the military musically is also incredible.

6
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: So it was great to be with you last night.

7
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: I think it was.

8
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 4: That's the President of the United States. His name is

9
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: Donald John Trump. You've seen pictures. Oh there, it is

10
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 4: something right there, and he is speaking at the US

11
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 4: Saudi Investment Forum, and there has still been a lot

12
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: of conversation regarding this sale to Saudi Arabia about thirty

13
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: five strike fighters. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to

16
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 5: Many many layers.

Speaker 4: You'll hear my conversation with Major Mike Lyons, retired United

18
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: States Army and you can also catch the video at

00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: YouTube dot com slash Tony Katz where this is far

20
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: more than just an arms sale. This is a realignment

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 4: of the Middle East in a way nobody has been

22
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 4: able to do because every other conversation has been focused

23
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 4: on personalities and Trump's conversation is focused on the dollars

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: and long term security and as opposed to the Obama

25
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: Biden years, a recognition that Iran and the Iahtola are

26
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: the enemy and simply the answer is no, while always

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: having an eye on the truest.

28
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: Enemy, which is China.

29
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a lot of moving parts for a group

30
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: of people like Obama who said don't.

31
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 5: Cross this red line Russia, and Russia said we love

32
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 5: red crossed right over.

33
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 4: So the President is speaking right now at this investment forum.

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 5: Let's hear what the President has to say.

35
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: Very good shape.

36
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: The partnership between our two nations is among the most

37
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: consequential in the entire world.

38
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: And together the.

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: Crown Prince and I know are making an alliance stronger

40
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: and more powerful than it's ever been before. We've had

41
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: good relationships, and frankly, not good. You didn't have a

42
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: good relationship with Barack Hussein Obama, you didn't have a

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: good relationship with sleepy Joe Biden.

44
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: But you had a great relationship with me.

45
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: And now it's as good as it was and probably

46
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: even better if you think about it, because we took

47
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: the dark cloud away from your country. It was called

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Iran and it's nuclear capability literated that very quickly and

49
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: strongly and powerfully.

50
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: You see that applause Obama, the whole Middle East.

51
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: They want to make a deal. They want to make

52
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 3: a deal, they want to receive.

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: They can work out a deal with us, and we'll

54
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: be doing that probably, But that was a terrible cloud

55
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: that you had to live with for a long time.

56
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: Twenty two years they were thinking about doing that.

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: The B twos. That was even before the B twos.

58
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: Those B twos, what machines they were. They flew in,

59
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: they were undetectable, and they dropped their payload and every

60
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: single bomb hit its exact mark, which was a shaft

61
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: going deep into the mountain, and every single one of

62
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: them hit and it was total obliteration. And then I

63
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: was criticized by some of the fake news by saying

64
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: the word obliteration was too strong. Perhaps they had no idea,

65
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: nobody saw it. Three days later when the Atomic Energy

66
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Commission went they said it was.

67
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: Total obliteration, beyond obliterating. But they want to make a deal.

68
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens this week.

69
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: Our countries also signed groundbreaking agreements on civil nuclear energy,

70
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: critical minerals and artificial intelligence. And I want to congratulate

71
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: a lot of the great American leaders, business leaders that

72
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: are in the room, and you do a great job

73
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: for Saudi Arabia.

74
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: You may wonder why there's so much talk, right, everything

75
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: that took place yesterday, everything that took place today about

76
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia deal. Shouldn't we hate Saudi Arabia.

77
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: I accept anybody who says I can't believe we're rewarding

78
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: these nine to eleven eleven terrorist bastards.

79
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 5: You're not wrong. We should be clear. We should also

80
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: be clear that we live in the real world.

81
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: And this is where it gets tough, and this is

82
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: where I think Trump is very very good. The real

83
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 4: world has Saudi Arabia right where there it is, Iran

84
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: right where it is. It has this war between them,

85
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: this proxy worth is taking place in Yemen and a

86
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: Middle East that is doing nobody no good. Iran is

87
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: a group of terrorists supporting a group of terrorists, and

88
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia, while despicable in numerous ways, has also made

89
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: advances in other ways far more than the Ayatola or

90
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 4: the Iranian regime, which is to say, the Iranian regime

91
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: has made no advances.

92
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 5: And if we're going to get to some level.

93
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 4: Of stability in the Middle East that gives us peace,

94
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: who's the best person to do it. It's them, It's

95
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: the Saudis, It's the real world, and it is imperative

96
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: that we be people, no matter how we personally feel,

97
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: we understand what it is that's happening in the real world,

98
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: in reality, not in our fantasies, not in our dreams.

99
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 5: That's not where existence is.

100
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: And so when I see people talk about I'm not

101
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: comfortable giving other countries our top defense.

102
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: Weapon, I hear you.

103
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: But what if by giving them the weapon, which does

104
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: not give it's a sale, we're also providing ourselves a

105
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: whole bunch of data, technology, and opportunity if we need

106
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 4: a place that we need to advance forward from. There

107
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: are layers to this, like you wouldn't believe we're going

108
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 4: to get into that. But first things first, I don't

109
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: think you're crazed for thinking man selling to the Saudi's

110
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: is really weird. I'm not over September eleventh, and I

111
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: never will be. And yes, they hold culpability, and I

112
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 4: live today and I have to do what's best for

113
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 4: us today.

114
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 5: This deal seems to fall into that category.

115
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: Back to the President, enemies on trade anyway, and we've

116
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 2: got that all straightened out and everybody's happy.

117
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: They respect us again. You know. It's like one of

118
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 3: those things.

119
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: I think they like us better and they actually respect us,

120
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: and it works out much better for us to But

121
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: I especially want to thank our numerous OUDI friends here today,

122
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: including the Ambassador to the United States, a friend of mine,

Speaker 2: And Secretary Scott Bessing, who's been fantastic Wirescott.

134
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: We're thinking about him for the FED, but he wants

135
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: no part of it. He likes being Secretary the treasure I.

136
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: Think we'll leave them, so let's quesh your name off

137
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: right officially right, Remember you said that I love the

138
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: FED job.

139
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: To me, it's easiest job in the world.

140
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: You play golf for twenty eight twenty nine days and

141
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: you go and make a little speech tell everybody, in

142
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: the case of the current guy, the wrong information because

143
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: he has no clue. But if you have good instincts,

144
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: he is all based on instincts. I see they want

145
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: to hire three thousand economists, three thousand to report to.

146
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: The FED chairman.

147
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: What are they going to take all this infa three

148
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: thousand economists. That's why they're spending four million dollars on

149
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: renovating a building that should have cost twenty five million

150
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: bucks to do. They should have spent twenty five million.

151
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: They're building a basement into the Potomac River. I could

152
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: have told him that's very tough to do when it

153
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: doesn't work at it's very expensor But they're up to

154
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: four billion dollars headed by this clown. But we have

155
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: three thousand to think of it. They want to hire

156
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: three thousand economists.

157
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 4: I swear to you, I wasn't going to play the

158
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: whole speech, and now like we have to. Lord only

159
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: knows he's smiling. He's a little diddy. Lord only knows what.

160
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 5: Trump is going to say. One was you know, he

161
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 5: was going after Deron Powell.

162
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: That right, his name, I won't.

163
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: Tell you because I don't like him personally, but he

164
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: is good. And the other one that got it the

165
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: most right was a man named President Donald J.

166
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: Trump. Do you believe it?

167
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: Everyone else was wrong? And I didn't have any economists.

168
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: Why it's Scott. But we got it right, didn't we?

169
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: We got everything right. Doug bergham wizdog. Will you please

170
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: drill a little bit faster between him and I'll tell

171
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: you you and Chris. Chris was great on television and

172
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 2: he's setting records. They're setting records, but I'll never be satisfied. Drill,

173
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: you know we got elected. Drill we must. I called

174
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: it drill Baby, Drill. Connetis and a great utility from

175
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: New York. Many years ago. They used to have a

176
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 2: sad drill we must, and dig we must, so when

177
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: they would dig in in a road, they'd have a

178
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: shine dig we must. Well, now we're putting those utilities

179
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: to shame because I'm allowing all of those AI plants

180
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: that are being built to build their own electric generating

181
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: force and they're building them like nobody's ever seen.

182
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 5: So two things here.

183
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: First, the conversation about data centers and the SMRs, the

184
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: small module reactors, and really a larger conversation about nuclear

185
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: but save that. You understand that in the Saudi Investment Forum,

186
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: it's the US Saudi Investment Forum.

187
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 5: President Trump just said to a large.

188
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 4: Oil producer and the real leader of OPEC, Hey, uh,

189
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: we're gonna have our own energy and we are in

190
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 4: no way going to be reliant on you.

191
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 5: Did anybody else just pick up on that?

192
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 4: Did anybody body else just pick up on the fact

193
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: that in front of the Saudis he said, yeah, yeah.

194
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 5: You we are going to drill. We're gonna have our

195
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 5: own energy. We're gonna be energy secure, as he says it, energy.

196
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: Dominant, and just you. I mean, we'll tray and you'll

197
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: still invest here, but you know we ain't gonna need

198
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 4: you that long.

199
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 5: That's good.

200
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: Lord.

201
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 5: The men will say anything. Let me take the quick break,

202
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 5: we'll get back to the president.

203
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: We'll get to the Epstein files being passed, and right

204
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: now the legislation on the President's desk. The madness of

205
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: what happened with Delegate Plasket and how it all goes

206
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 4: back to a representative by the name of Corey Mills

207
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: and stolen valor. That story is coming up. Keep it
