Speaker 1: Everybody is getting into their seats. I believe they're serving cheesecake.

4
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: What they don't They don't serve cheesecake.

5
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: At the It's not much of a press briefing that

6
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: was pressed. Secretary outlets serve cheesecake. Just the move for cheesecake.

Speaker 2: And while we are, let's check in with the good

11
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: people over there at CNN to see what they have

12
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: to say about the economy.

13
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: They's seeing gas prices below three dollars for the first

14
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: time in years.

15
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: Let's get to see end as Matt Egan for the

16
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 4: good news on this.

17
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, it's nice to finally be here with some

18
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: good news on the cost of living front.

19
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 4: So for the first time in four and a half years, gas.

20
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: Prices are averaging three dollars a gallon national inquort in

21
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: triple a, down by.

22
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: Seventh cents in just the past week. Gas prisons were

23
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 5: low a year ago as well, but they're even cheaper now.

24
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 5: Huh so energy costs are better.

25
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's that is going to hit the Democratic Party

26
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: hardest because I was told that everything is more expensive

27
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: and we're all going to die. I still don't say

28
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: that the White House could go out there and tout

29
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: to economic success and say, man, look how great things are.

30
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 5: Oh look how good we're No.

31
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no no no, no no no,

32
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: you cannot do that.

33
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 5: But some things are better.

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: And the White House does, as we've said here from

35
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: the beginning, needs to do a better job of saying it.

36
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: Scott Bessett needs to do a better job of messaging it,

37
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: and they have been. Now you can't message what isn't real.

38
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: So stop messaging us on food prices and oh look

39
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: how Thanksgiving dinner was less expensive.

40
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 5: That was always dumb.

41
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: That was the bite administration telling us that a fourth

42
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: of July picnic or cookout was sixteen cents less this year.

43
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 5: What do you stop it? Stop it. That is insulting.

44
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: Stop insulting us. Now.

45
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: One of the things that they want to do is

46
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: let you know that the good times are coming. This

47
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: is about setting things up for the midterms. Well, right,

48
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: you need to set things up for the midterms. This

49
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: was Kevin Hassett discussing this on Face the Nation.

50
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, you mentioned quite accurately the one

51
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 6: point four percent increase in grocery prices. I think the

52
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 6: interesting thing about that is that that's way below the

53
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 6: FEDS target of two for everything else, right, and so

54
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 6: you'd have to concede that one point four percent is

55
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 6: very very low inflation. And so I think that the

56
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 6: bottom line is that we've got the big, beautiful bill

57
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 6: cutting taxes out, overtime taxes for tips and so on,

58
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 6: and all that money is going to start to being

59
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: in people's pockets. So that's why they're optimistic about next year.

60
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 6: Scott Besson said last week that he's looking at first

61
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 6: half of next year that could be in the four

62
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 6: percent range. And the reason is that we passed the

63
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 6: tax cuts in July and so they didn't have time

64
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 6: to change all the tax forms at everything, and so

65
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 6: people are going to get really really big refunds in

66
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 6: the fall as well. And so so we're really optimistic,

67
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 6: and we think that the good news around Thanksgiving is

68
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 6: the sign of something that's even stronger to come.

69
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: So sorry to the people in the in the chat

70
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: who weren't hearing that audio right there for a bit

71
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: in the live stream. You want to tell us that

72
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: the good times are going to come when the one big,

73
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: beautiful bill goes into full effect.

74
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 5: Okay, well then it's got to come.

75
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: If you want to tout no tax on tips and

76
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: no tax on send no tax on that, it has

77
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: to come up.

78
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 5: By the way, I should.

79
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: Admit that I opposed the idea of no tax on tips.

80
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: I want no tax on my labor. I want no

81
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: income tax at all.

82
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 5: I don't see.

83
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: Why I don't get a deal that other people get.

84
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: Why can't I be compensated this way?

85
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 5: And then you.

86
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: Created a system by which I can't be compensated this way?

87
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: I found the whole thing offensive. I I was prepared.

88
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 5: I had.

89
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: I had a very large negotiation to do for my

90
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: for my radio deal, which is now all done. And

91
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: I was watching this very carefully because I absolutely would

92
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: have set it up so that I get I get

93
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: paid as a tip. Why why why would I pay

94
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: taxes I don't have to pay? Well that that seems

95
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: that seems nutty. I'm not trying to prove anything here.

96
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: If I can avoid paying the taxes in a legal way,

97
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: I do just that, So does everybody else, just like

98
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: you should. Well, you're cheating the government out of No,

99
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: I'm not cheating anybody. It's my money, and they don't

100
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: deserve any part of my labor whatsoever. There are other

101
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: things they can do and engage taxes on, and you're

102
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: also not engaged talking about what we do via private charity.

103
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: But we'll save that. We'll save that Ajust for a

104
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: little bit. My point to the White House is now

105
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: you must deliver on that. If the one big beautiful

106
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: bill doesn't kick in until January first, and that's when

107
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: these things are gonna happen, everyone's gonna get big tax returns.

108
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: Show us, show us the big tax returns.

109
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: Now.

110
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: I do not think that's gonna be a part of

111
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: the conversation here.

112
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 5: I don't think.

113
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: Although there's no doubt that if I'm Caroline Levitt discussing

114
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: that gas prices are down, this is down.

115
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 5: That's down.

116
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: That's going to happen, that's going to take place, But

117
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: I don't if you cannot guarantee it, and which is

118
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: kind of what you're doing.

119
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 5: Hey, wait till this kicks in.

120
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: Then you'll see it's got a touch of a We

121
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: have to pass the bill, so you know it's in

122
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: a kind of ub You never want that vibe, but

123
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: more importantly, you have to be able to deliver on it.

124
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: Now we're getting ready for the press briefing, and more

125
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: and more people are speaking out about this drug boat strike.

126
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 5: Where here we are.

127
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: We've got fifteen thousand troops in the Caribbean, we have

128
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: eleven warships in the Caribbean. We're taking out these drug boats.

129
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: And did an order come for the US military to

130
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: go back and kill survivors of one of these attacks

131
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: on a drug boat? Three people survived, and did we

132
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: or did we not go back and kill them? The

133
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: members of the acclaimed nonsense media seem to believe that

134
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: they have some kind of deep understanding about this and

135
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: are engaged in well doing what they do.

136
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: All the Washington Post reporting fabricated inflammatory.

137
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: He also said this quote.

138
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both

139
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: US and international law, with all actions in compliance with

140
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: the law of armed conflict and approved by the best

141
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: military and civilian lawyers up and down the chain of command.

142
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 4: Have they proved that? Do they have to prove that?

143
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 7: Well, they have improven it. But again, if they're so

144
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 7: confident they should welcome public inquiry.

145
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: What that's a Richard Haas, If they're so confident they

146
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: should welcome public inquiry, can I ask what that means?

147
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: I mean, does he explain what that means?

148
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: Honest?

149
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 7: Peter correctly said. The issue is not simply this alleged

150
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 7: second strike against people who aren't posing a threat and

151
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 7: couldn't defend themselves. But there's the first strike issue whether

152
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 7: this makes sense as a legitimate military mission. And I'd

153
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 7: say if there's something before a first order question, it's

154
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 7: the larger issue of what we're doing off the coast

155
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 7: of Venezuela.

156
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: Now I've stated this, I think that's a rational question.

157
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a rational thing to say that,

158
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 2: first you have any clue as to whether or not

159
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: this happened. This is just a report from the Washington Post.

160
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: Who knows if they could be believed. I would err

161
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: to the side of absolutely not. But what publican qureer

162
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: do you think is not going to happen? What does

163
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: public inquiry mean that we questioned the military. We questioned

164
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: the military all the time. We spent twenty years in

165
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: Afghanistan building a a military and they folded in five

166
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: minutes because the generals that you told me were geniuses

167
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: and could not be questioned, taught them how to fight

168
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: in an air support military in they don't know how

169
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: to do that, and you couldn't guarantee the air support.

170
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: They couldn't keep an eye on planes. They weren't able

171
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: to fly any planes. The whole military collapsed. Like cavalry

172
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: might have made a better idea. Our cavalry or light

173
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: infagery might have made a better idea for Afghans. By

174
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: the way, why are we training them? They were able

175
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: to push out the freaking Russians. Maybe they've got a

176
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: hold of these things. They fell to the Taliban in

177
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: less than an hour. When Joe Biden said, none of

178
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: our intelligence says that that's going.

179
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 5: To happen, it happened. It happened.

180
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: Public inquiry, You mean we're not going to have a

181
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: couple of members of Congress asked questions. There isn't going

182
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: to be a hearing. We're not going to see a

183
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: hegset in front of a committee. There should be a

184
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: public inquiry. And now people are gonna go out there

185
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,479
Speaker 2: and say, yes, there should be a public inquiry.

186
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: Sometimes they say.

187
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: Words because well, they don't know what they're saying. But

188
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: if they say this thing that sounds important, everyone will

189
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: say my, yes, my gosh, yes, this is so very

190
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: very important. I think it's okay for us to ask

191
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: what is the standard here? What is the legality here?

192
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: What the cable news outlets are trying to do is

193
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: figure out how Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump are guilty,

194
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: whether or not they are.

195
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 5: They want to use.

196
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: This to say, well, I guess Senator Mark Kelly was right,

197
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: you can't follow them in legal orders. They don't know

198
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: if it's illegal, and they don't care. They do not

199
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: care what is. They only care what they can get

200
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: done to damage their political opponents and get power. White

201
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: House Press briefing coming up. Keep it here on Tony Katz.

202
00:11:53,640 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz today. White House Press briefingscheditleed to begin. Meanwhile, well,

203
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: China is not happy with Japan. I know that most

204
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: people are paying attention to what's going on in Venezuela.

205
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that you shouldn't you? Absolutely should.

206
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: There's a clear action going on here, and I am

207
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: very surprised, and I'll get into it that Congress has

208
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: not demanded more oversight, demanded a declaration of war something.

209
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: Tony Kaks Tony kat today, good to be here, Good

210
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: to be with you. I take you to this story

211
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: over here about Japan, where the new Prime Minister Sanday

212
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: Takaichi has decided to move missiles to an island near Taiwan.

213
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: China says this is deliberate to create regional tension and

214
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: provoke military confrontation.

215
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 5: I'm not a hundred percent.

216
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: Sure if that's the case, but it's meant to get

217
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: China's attention and that worked. Why is Japan interested in

218
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: China's attention? Or we should at least note the longstanding

219
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: hundreds of not thousands. I would leave that to others.

220
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: I'll say hundreds of years of hatred between China and Japan.

221
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: Claiming no expertise, there is no love here. China was

222
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: not always this China. China had to deal with the

223
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: subjugation of the Japanese Empire.

224
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: There is no love lost.

225
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Today's China, this communist hellscape, is desirous of full on

226
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: hegenomic power. They want to be the dominant power throughout

227
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: the Pacific room, and the conversation of this really gets

228
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: into the idea of whether or not to this idea

229
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: of China is going to take that hemisphere, and we're

230
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: going to keep our hemisphere, and that's how we're going

231
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 2: to have a little bit of daytant.

232
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 5: That's how it's gonna happen.

233
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: That's why you see eleven warships right now in the

234
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: Caribbean taking a look at Venezuela going hello.

235
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 5: By the way, that's going to become a meme if

236
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: you see the video of that.

237
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: I realize while I'm doing it, I may have made

238
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: a dreadful mistake. China wants Taiwan. China wants the Taiwan Strait.

239
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: It wants to South China Sea, it wants the Yellow Sea.

240
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: It wants control of not only the fishing, it wants

241
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: control of the cargo, It wants control of everything in

242
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: the area.

243
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 5: Japan under Tak.

244
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: Seems to have no wants for that to happen and

245
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: seems to be very, very willing to fight China, stating

246
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: that right wing forces in Japan are leading Japan and

247
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: the region toward disaster. Beijing is determined and capable of

248
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: safeguarding its national territorial defense. Japan is making a statement

249
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: that's what is ours is ours, and we don't think

250
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: anything should belong to you. We simply have no interest

251
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: in being some type of never mind vassal state. We

252
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: have no interest in being isolated from our ability to

253
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: trade and to work and to be living a good

254
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: and safe life. We're going to protect this island, and

255
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: we're going to do so through what what Major Mike Lyons,

256
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: military analysts who retired United States Army who you hear

257
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: on this show.

258
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 5: Referred to as visible leverage.

259
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: That's what he refers to Trump's doctrine as visible leverage.

260
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: And what we're going to do is show you.

261
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: Now, we all understand that China has far more people

262
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: and more dollars and could do far more damage. I

263
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: want to share a longstanding theory that I've had about China.

264
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: I believe I think it's Gordon Chang who believes this also.

265
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: I believe that China is a paper tiger. It is

266
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: my strongest feeling that if China were ever really punched

267
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: in the nose, they would not know how to respond.

268
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 2: China talks big, China talks smack. China talks tough. It's

269
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: part of their charm. But China has never really been

270
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: confronted and has never gotten punched. No, no, I'd rather

271
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: none of it happen now. I'm not saying I'm looking

272
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: for it. I'm not saying I want it. I'm not

273
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: saying any of us need it. We'd be better off

274
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: if Xijin Bing wasn't there and they weren't a communist nation.

275
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 2: I am not saying that I want the war or

276
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: a fight or anything else.

277
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 5: What I'm saying is.

278
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: China's never taken a punch, and China reacts very aggressively

279
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: to simple moves and twice as aggressively the larger scale moves.

280
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: This will sometimes keep people from making the move at all.

281
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 5: Those people are wrong.

282
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: This is an unbelievable show of strength from Takeichi. Unbelievable

283
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: show of strength Taipei, of course meaning Taiwan, saying that

284
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: Japan has the right to take the steps needed to

285
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 2: protect the security of its territory. Japan's strengthening of its

286
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: relevant military facilities is basically helpful to maintaining security in

287
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: the Taiwan Straits, So of course this is helpful to

288
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: our national interests as Japan has no territorial designs or

289
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: hostility towards Taiwan. Things are gearing up. I'm very curious

290
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: if we see a move from Australia soon. The Aussees

291
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: have a lot to lose. Why do you think as

292
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: a nation are starting to build submarines in Australian ports.

293
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 2: Maybe China does get that hemisphere, but that doesn't mean

294
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: the other nations of that hemisphere want China.

295
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: To have it.

296
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: White House press briefing, that's common. This is Tony Kats today.

297
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: So if I understand it right, Michael Douglas and Catherine

298
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: Zada Jones are upset that their son got embarrassed by

299
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings, and people are upset with Nicki Haley's kid.

300
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 5: I gotta get into that.

301
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: Tony Katz Tony Katz today, But we've got a White

302
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: House press briefing right now.

Speaker 8: Trump will host the presidents of the Republic of Rwanda

316
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 8: and the Democratic Republic of Congo to sign the historic

317
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 8: peace and Economic Agreement that he brokered. On Thursday night,

318
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 8: the President and the First Lady will celebrate one of

319
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 8: America's greatest traditions, the lighting of the National Christmas Tree

320
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 8: on the Ellipse. And on Friday, President Trump will attend

321
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 8: the FIFA World Cup Final jaw at the Kennedy Center.

322
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 8: You all will be seeing and hearing from the President

323
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 8: every day this week.

324
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 5: So, yeah, a quick tree thing going on there.

325
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: Portland had their tree lighting, but they didn't call it

326
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: a Christmas tree. They just called it a tree lighting.

327
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 2: They couldn't call it a Christmas tree. You understand that

328
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: they not like us.

329
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 5: I'm Jewish. I call it a Christmas tree. It's a

330
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 5: Christmas tree. Light it up.

331
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 2: It looks beautiful. Somebody give me some coco a present.

332
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: I'll move on my day. Well, no, no, no, we

333
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: can't have Christmas in the town square. It's a violation.

334
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: It's not a violation.

335
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 5: We get it.

336
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: You hate Western civilization. You want to go after Christians

337
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: any way you can, and if you can't do it

338
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 2: the way they do it in Sudan or.

339
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 5: Nigeria, you'll do it this way. We got you.

340
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: We understand that you're jealous of how Christians are persecuted

341
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 2: in African nations. But no, no, no, no, we'll start with

342
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: this and work our way up. It's embarrassing already.

343
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 5: Back to the.

344
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 4: Briefing, Nobly difficult time.

345
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 8: Sarah and Andrew represent the very best of America, two

346
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 8: young patriots who were willing to put on the uniform

347
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 8: and risk their lives in defense of their fellow Americans.

348
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 8: Both of them truly embody the profound words spoken by

349
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 8: Jesus Christ and the Gospel. Greater love has no one

350
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 8: than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.

351
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 8: Sarah and Andrew are heroes and we will never forget

352
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 8: their sacrifice. That means ensuring the monster responsible for this

353
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 8: atrocity is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

354
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 8: and faces the most severe punishment possible.

355
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 2: She's talking about the Afghan national who killed a National

356
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, and wounded another National Guard member

357
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: in DC over the weekends it.

358
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 4: Was gunned down.

359
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 8: Who gunned down American soldiers blocks away from the White

360
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 8: House and in Annbush was an Afghan national who was

361
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 8: flown into our country by Joe Biden's administration in September

362
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 8: twenty twenty one in the chaotic wake of their botched

363
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 8: withdrawal from Afghanistan. One of the most embarrassing moments in

364
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 8: the history of our great country. Joe Biden's historic failure

365
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 8: in Afghanistan continues to haunt this country and our men

366
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 8: and women in uniform. Not only did this to render

367
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 8: lead to a suicide bombing that killed thirteen American heroes

368
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 8: in Kabul, but now National Guard troops were shot on

369
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 8: US soil by this same kind of enemy. We continue

370
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 8: to live with the deadly consequences of Joe Biden's horrific leadership.

371
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 8: Nearly one hundred thousand Afghans were recklessly released into the

372
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 8: United States with little to no vetting. There was no

373
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 8: regard for the disorder and violence that this would unleash

374
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 8: on American communities and American culture. Reportedly, thousands of these

375
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 8: strangers and unknown individuals were flagged to the Biden administration

376
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 8: for national security, public safety, and fraud concerns. But the

377
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 8: terrifying truth is that the Afghanistan debacle is just a

378
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 8: small part of democrats complete and total betrayal of the

379
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 8: American people during the Biden years. The tragedy that we

380
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 8: just witnessed the day before Thanksgiving is a reminder that

381
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 8: untold thousands of terrorists, gang members, and criminals were invited

382
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 8: into our country and remain here to this day.

383
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 2: Now. I want to make sure that I'm on the

384
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: record because when the conversation came up about Afghan nationals

385
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: coming into the United States, I said on this show

386
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: that if there were people helping the US military in Afghanistan,

387
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: we can't abandon them there to the Taliban.

388
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 5: There was a deal made. As far as I saw.

389
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: It, it never dawned on me that the military wouldn't

390
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: have vetted these people and would not have dawned on

391
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: me that we were bringing in other people that were

392
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: not vetted at all. I never said bring in those people.

393
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: As I have said repeatedly, I do not allow single

394
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 2: able bodied men to enter the country from China, from Honduras.

395
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 5: From anywhere.

396
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: But if they were helping the military, I believed in

397
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: absolutely making sure we honored the promise to them.

398
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 5: It seemed rational. They weren't properly vetted.

399
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: Have people screaming about vetting, and anytime you brought up vetting,

400
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 2: the left would say, why you're just such a racist.

401
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: In any case, we now have our third, fourth, fifth

402
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: example in this with the murder of Sarah Beeksham, that

403
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: Afghan nationals have no interest in being connected to the

404
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: American way of life. That bringing them in clearly a mistake,

405
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: and that mistake must get rectified. And that's what I

406
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 2: want to see President Trump do that and Somali nationals,

407
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: which I'll get into.

408
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 8: Billion dollars and taxpayer funded benefits. Under Democrat Governor Waltz's leadership,

409
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 8: President Trump is putting an end to this dangerous America

410
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 8: Last approach. His position is rooted in common sense. In

411
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 8: the wake of last week's atrocity. It is more important

412
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 8: than ever to finish carrying out the President's mass deportation operation.

413
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 8: America cannot allow millions upon millions of unvetted illegal aliens

414
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 8: to be rewarded with amnesty after they broke our nation's

415
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 8: laws to come here.

416
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 4: They must go back to their home countries.

417
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 8: It is also essentially essential to immediately address the massive

418
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 8: fraud and corruption that has been going on for decades

419
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 8: and other aspects of our immigration system, most notably when

420
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 8: it comes to asylum claims. Millions of people who have

421
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 8: come here under false pretenses are told blatant and told

422
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 8: blatant lies, now enjoy temporary legal status.

423
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 4: President Trump is ending this scam.

424
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 8: As well, and I would point out that the Democrats

425
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 8: have tried to block this administration from doing so at

426
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 8: every term turn, with lawsuit after lawsuit. The hard truth

427
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 8: is that even when it comes to our legal immigration system,

428
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 8: past presidents have failed to ensure that all prospective citizens

429
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 8: love America, will add value and contribute to our communities,

430
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 8: and will assimilate into our culture. Leaders have a duty

431
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 8: to defend and advance the interests of their own people

432
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 8: foreign nationals. Leaders also have a duty to preserve the

433
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 8: integrity and character of our nation's national identity. That is

434
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 8: why President Trump is more committed than ever to fully

435
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 8: restoring American sovereignty by keeping our borders secure.

436
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 4: Removing all illegal alien.

437
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 8: Invaders, and rebuilding a legal immigration system that makes sense

438
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 8: and benefits our country.

439
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: Yep, I voted for that, lots of people did. This

440
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: isn't about whether or not we're a kind a nation

441
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: or decent people. It's about whether or not we hold

442
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: a standard. And the standard is you're not allowed to

443
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: just come into the country, run roughshout over the country,

444
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: hate the country, steal from the country, try and attack

445
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 2: the country, and kill our citizens.

446
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 5: The answer is no, No. Back to the press briefing, invaded.

447
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 9: It as a country culturally and logistically when it comes

448
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 9: to immigration, and we know that immigration without us immolay

449
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 9: is indeed invasion. So given the recent remarks from Vice

450
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 9: President Vance on a college campus about dramatically reducing legal

451
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 9: immigration to address some of this crisis, and President Trump's

452
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 9: truth social post last week about individuals who may be

453
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 9: non compatible with Western civilization, are there any conversations happening

454
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 9: or plans being made behind the scenes for the administration

455
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 9: to implement at least a temporary immigration moratorium, for example,

456
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 9: in light of what the American people might be calling for.

457
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 8: So, Isabelle, it's a great question. I think I spoke

458
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 8: a little bit to the heart of your question in

459
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 8: my opener there. I would add that the Trump administration

460
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 8: has done more to limit migration, both illegal and legal,

461
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 8: than any administration in history. And I'll just walk you

462
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 8: through some of the actions that we have taken thus.

463
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: All, I'll let her walk through the actions. We'll take

464
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: the quick break. We'll come back to more of the

465
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: White House press briefing coming up. Keep it here. I'm

466
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today.

467
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 8: Hence in vital United States interests, the strike was conducted

468
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 8: in international waters and in accordance.

469
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 4: With the law of armed conflict. And then onto this

470
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 4: pardon for the hunter and president.

471
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 10: Does it at all undercut the administration's messaging While you

472
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 10: have these congressional Republicans defending the strikes on the narco

473
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 10: terrorists and then a partying for a convicted drug trafficker,

474
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 10: does that make it more difficult for your members to

475
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 10: defend your administration's policy.

476
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 4: I don't think so.

477
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 8: Jackie I think the President Trump has been quite clear

478
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 8: in his defense of the United States homeland to stop

479
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 8: these illegal narcotics from coming to our boy.

480
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt is in the middle of the White House

481
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: Press briefing. I'm Tony Katz. The show is Tony Katz

482
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: today talking about this report from the Washington Post that

483
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: there was a second strike on survivors of a drug

484
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: boat that got hit by the US military, that they

485
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: did it and it was lawful, and they were a threat,

486
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: and that is going to get ripped apart. Ah bunch

487
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: of different ways, a whole bunch of different ways, just

488
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: torn apart, for sure. But there is a real question

489
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: about some people are getting pardons. One that took place,

490
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: I think it was over the weekend, and people are like,

491
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: anybody can get a pardon. Now you got enough cash,

492
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: you'll get a pardon. Trump Biden engaged all these insane partons.

493
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 2: This one's got people asking questions. The pardon power is

494
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: the power of the president, and there's going to be

495
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. I know Rokahana wants it. They're not going

496
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: to get rid of the pardon power. They're not going

497
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: to do it. Tony kat did I say hello I'm

498
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: Tony Katz. The press briefing is going on. I am

499
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: still Tony Kats. The Show's Tony Katz Today. Let's take

500
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: it to the press briefing. Caroline Levitt speaking to the.

501
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 8: Press, Shine, and we will release it right now. I

502
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 8: think my team has it teed up for all of you.

503
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 8: I'll read it for you and then you'll get it.

504
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 8: Physically as well, as part of President Trump's comprehensive executive

505
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 8: physical advanced imaging is performed because men in his age

506
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 8: group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health.

507
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 8: The purpose of this imaging is preventative, to identify any

508
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 8: issues early, confirm overall health, and ensure the president maintains

509
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 8: long term vitality and function. President Trump's cardiovascular imaging was

510
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 8: perfectly normal, no evidence of arterial narrowing, impairing blood flow,

511
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 8: or abnormalities in the heart or major vessels.

512
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 4: The heart chambers are normal in size, the.

513
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 8: Vessel walls appear smooth and healthy, and there are no

514
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 8: signs of inflammation or clotting. Overall, his cardiovascular system shows

515
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 8: excellent health. His abdominal imaging is also perfectly normal. All

516
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 8: major organs appear very healthy and well profused. Everything evaluated

517
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 8: is functioning within normal limits with no acute or chronic concerns.

518
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 8: In summary, this level of detailed assessment is standard for

519
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 8: an executive physical at President Trump's age and confirms that

520
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 8: he remains in excellent overall health.

521
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 4: Again, we will provide the Democrats.

522
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 5: Youren'na be very angry about this.

523
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: They'll be very Oh, he's lying all they're not telling

524
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: the truth. But he's really a mental decline. Listen, if

525
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: he's healthy, he's healthy, poy you what do you want

526
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: from us?

527
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 5: But wait, do you see the death wish stuff that

528
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 5: comes now? Just nuts? And what are they going to discuss?

529
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 4: Are they hoping to reach a kind of final decision

530
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 4: on that? Out of the effort of transparency.

531
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 8: I will confirm that the President will be meeting with

532
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 8: his National Securities team on this subject and on many matters,

533
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 8: and he meets with his national security team quite often.

534
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 8: He's the commander in chief. It's part of his responsibility.

535
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: Press briefing will go on.

536
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: I'll get back to it in a second there, But

537
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: what I just said, I didn't want it to just

538
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 2: go by the wayside. It's part of the ugly. I

539
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: disagree with people. I don't wish them dead. These are

540
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: two very different things.

541
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 5: We understand.

542
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 2: We're in the place of wishing dead, we're undertand we're

543
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: in the place of trying to kill. They did try

544
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: to kill him, they did kill Charlie Kirk And please,

545
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: please don't give me any Candaewns insanity, would you?

546
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 5: Well, thank you. I appreciate that.

547
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: They're going to hear that Donald Trump is healthy and

548
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 2: they're going to be upset about it.

549
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 5: Then they're gonna say that the doctors are lying.

550
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: Everybody's always lying because you disagree. Not everything is a plot,

551
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: Not everything is. This is this great scheme.

552
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 5: To some things. Just are.

553
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is in good physical health. Joe Biden not.

554
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: Donald Trump mentally aware, Joe Biden not. And that was

555
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: true before the election. That was true when Biden dropped

556
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: out of the race. It's also true today. And there

557
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: will be people who will tell you today that Joe

558
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: Biden's just fine. I don't know what to say to that,

559
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 2: I really don't. But it's the amount of lost we

560
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 2: are when you see that there are people who will

561
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 2: gladly wish him dead.

562
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 5: Stunning.

563
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: There are more questions going on right now about the pardons,

564
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 2: and I can appreciate it.

565
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 5: If the White House is indeed admitting.

566
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: That they did go back and kill survivors of a

567
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: first strike on one of these drug boats, that's going

568
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 2: to get a lot of people to ask questions, get

569
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: a lot of people riled up. I say my two questions,

570
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: I'll get more into this remain what is legal in

571
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 2: this regard, not what some TV pundent nonsense person says,

572
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: and what is the standard in any situation shouldn't like this.

573
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: We need the answers to those questions to be able

574
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: to assess what possibly took place. But now that she

575
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: says it, okay, we can now talk about the story

576
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: more in depth. When the Washington Post says it, I

577
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't buy into that at all. It's the Washington Post,

578
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: believe them. Stop it, keep it here. This is Tony

579
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: Katz today,
