In bands, they have to eliminate the shutdown, 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 5: and then the President is more than willing to come 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 5: in and sit down and visit Republican leadership. Both sides 22 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 5: are ready to set down and to work on the 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 5: issues that we all care about. But you can't do 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 5: it when you're holding the government hostage when you're holding 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 5: people hostage. 26 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: So I mean, that's the standard fair there from the Republicans. 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: We know this, and I happen to agree with them. 28 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: And then of course you have the standard fare from 29 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: Hakim Jeffries. 30 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 6: We're gonna win in Virginia, We're gonna win in New 31 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 6: Jersey because the American people are fed up that Republicans 32 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 6: would rather spend time on vacation on the golf course, 33 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,919 Speaker 6: give forty billion dollars to a foreign entity, and can't 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 6: find resources to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits 35 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 6: days away from November one and the open enrollment period. 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be with you, 37 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: my good lord. 38 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: That's the standard fair stuff. The New Jersey. 39 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: Race is going to be won by the Democrats because 40 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: of the shutdown, silliest silliest nonsense ever. So we can 41 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: approach it that way, or we could just say the 42 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: shutdown continues and it's the end of civilization as we 43 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: know it. 44 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: My god, Okay, it's happening. Everybody say, what's the procedure? 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: What's going on? 46 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 4: Holy crap? 47 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: I am freaking out, freaking out, indeed, except nobody's freaking out. 48 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: Nobody's freaking out. Instead, This is much less like a 49 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: news story and much less of a freak out, and 50 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: much more. 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: Of a soap opera. Back in Washington, d C. The 52 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: shutdown continues. 53 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: Hakim, feeling like a jilted lover, goes to his Democratic 54 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: Party and says, trust me, trust me, I say we 55 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: can win this one. Chuck all sorts of beat up 56 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: and worrying about Alexandria. Cassia Cortes in his rear view, 57 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: trying to take his job, says to him, Hakim, don't 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: you know we've lost men. 59 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: We've lost already in me. My career is over. I 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: don't even know how to grilla cheeseburger? Hakim? What will 61 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: I do? What will I do? 62 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: I assume it sounded something like that, right, That would 63 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: be the soap opera version of the whole thing. It 64 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: is quite remarkable how much nobody cares, even though there 65 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: are definitely people who get affected. It's full hardy to 66 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: think no one gets affected. It's that you may not 67 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: know everybody who gets affected. You may not know anybody's 68 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: get affected. I said this on Sean Spicer's show, and 69 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: I took some heat. I know someone who gets affected. 70 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: Listen to me carefully, you might. The odds are you 71 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: don't know anybody. I know people whose kids or other 72 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: relatives they're not getting paid. I'm sorry for them, but 73 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: none of this is my fault, and there's really absolutely 74 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: nothing I can do about it. My senators are voting 75 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: for the continuing Resolution. Tell Democrats to do the same 76 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: and let's move on. 77 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 2: But they won't do it. 78 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: There was this real kind of interesting conversation that this 79 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: was all going to come to an end after the 80 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: No Kings rallies, that everything was just to lead up 81 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: to Noing's event because they want to have a big, 82 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: big showing, and then after that it was gonna be like, Okay, 83 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: we'll vote for the Continuing Resolution and we'll claim that 84 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: there's some kind of win here. That's what we'll do. 85 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: We'll just claim that there's a win and we'll vote 86 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: for the Continuing Resolution. We'll fight on this in a 87 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: month and that'll be it. But yet it hasn't done that. 88 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: So that is a level of conventional wisdom that hasn't 89 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: seemed to go anywhere. I don't know where the Democrats 90 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: think they're gonna go with this, but I think the 91 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: larger scale conversation, the larger scale question for us is 92 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: exactly how long can this be kept up? Exactly how 93 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: long till people start caring? Exactly what has to happen 94 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: for a level of pain to be felt? And the 95 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: answer is, I don't. I don't know, because if you 96 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: listen to President Trump, he's having a ball beating up 97 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: on these people. 98 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 7: He would be I would say, he would be the 99 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 7: leader of the party. He's not humor Schumer shot. 100 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: He shot. 101 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 7: This poor guy feels sorry from my not him for 102 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 7: a long time, but he's I think he's mentally gone. 103 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 7: He's been beat up by young radical lunatics. And I 104 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 7: think Chuck Schumer is he's gun. I really do. I 105 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 7: think he's probably not going to run. It shows that 106 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 7: he's losing in every poll. 107 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: Now this is hard. You know, he wants to meet 108 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 4: with me. 109 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: Sort of hard to be with the guy after I. 110 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 7: Make a savement like that. But I'm just giving you 111 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 7: the facts. I think Chuck is probably finished. I know 112 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 7: some people Democrats that would be good, some good politicians 113 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 7: and some you know, reasonable people, but I understand that 114 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 7: they would not have a chance of, you know, getting 115 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 7: even the concept of holding the torch. 116 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 8: They're not going to get it. 117 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: But they have some people that I really believe. 118 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 7: They're low IQ people, they're stupid people, and they seem 119 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 7: to be leading the body. 120 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: Does that sound like a guy who's concerned about the shutdown. 121 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: That's just it. 122 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: In order to make the claim that Republicans are losing 123 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: the shutdown, you actually have to see some concern. But 124 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: I've got President tromp Okay, maybe that's a bad example. 125 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: I've got the Center from South Dakota, Mike Grounds. Does 126 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: he sound concerned? I shared it with you earlier and 127 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: the answer is no, they're not. The political right is 128 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: not concerned about the shutdown. Now, maybe as more agencies 129 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: start having feeling some effects. 130 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: Maybe this will change. 131 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: For example, if you put shutdown, I put shutdown into 132 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: a search engine. 133 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: You know what came up? 134 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: US Nuclear Stockpile Agency to lay off hundreds of shutdown 135 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: continues and this story is four of the top six headlines. 136 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: Map shows nuclear weapon sites that could be hit by 137 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: major furloughs. Government shutdown forces furloughs at US Nuclear Agency. Now, 138 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: of course this is the media. What do you expect? 139 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean, what possibly do you expect from them that 140 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: this is, you know, amp up the rhetoric, amp up 141 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: the screams and the yells and the and the gnashing 142 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: of the. 143 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: Teeth, and sell clicks and sell newspapers. 144 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: Over there at the Hill, there's a story that the 145 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans are talking about filibuster reform to end the shutdown. 146 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans are increasingly chattering about changing the filibuster rules 147 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: if Democrats do not end the shutdown, even though John Thune, 148 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: who's Senate majority leader, says he's opposed to this. So 149 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: the argument is that you could change the rules because 150 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: Harry Reid, the Senator from Nevada, who is a terrible person. 151 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: Showed you how to do it. 152 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Change the rules, get rid of the filibuster for this, 153 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: and Republicans can can reopen the government and it will 154 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: be done. 155 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: Democrats want this. 156 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: They could have stopped this shutdown at any time, but 157 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: they didn't want to because they wanted you to feel 158 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: the pain. But we're gonna keep fighting for your healthcare. 159 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Oh holy hell. They voted to sunset the subsidies, and 160 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: now they're claiming Republicans are sunsetting the subsidies and they 161 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: don't end. 162 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: They don't. 163 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: They never stop in their lying, in their in their 164 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: absolute fraud. They never ever, ever, ever, ever stop just 165 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: not who they are. But it's an interesting thing about saying, listen, 166 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to change the rules. They have a 167 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: right to filibuster. You got to convince them. If you 168 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: take away the filibuster. Now we're gonna see other things 169 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: where they take away the filibuster. I don't think we 170 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: want to do this. I don't think we want to 171 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: give up this tool in the toolbox. So I don't know. 172 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't know where Republicans really are on this idea. 173 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: Republicans who have in the past of voice staunch support 174 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: for preserving the filibuster say that creating a carve out 175 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: to the sixty vote threshold is getting more talk. 176 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: Nobody talked about the filibuster two weeks ago. 177 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: Now that we see that the Democrats are just not 178 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: going to agree to anything, then that's probably a viable option. 179 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: That's Tommy. Is it Tuberville or Tuberville? 180 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: People always tell me, and I always forget he's the 181 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: senator from Alabama. I am very okay with the government 182 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: saying shut down. I'm not trying to be cruel. I'm 183 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: not trying to be crass. I'm not trying to be uncaring. 184 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying that we elected these people to do a job, and. 185 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: Sometimes you lose. 186 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: And the Democrats have lost recognize is it fight another day? 187 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: And what they're saying is no, it's okay, No, that's it. 188 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: What do you want me to do? These people are 189 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: keeping it closed and keep piling on and keep piling 190 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: on and keep piling on that they're keeping it closed. 191 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: If you remove the filibuster, you're saying that you could 192 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: have done this at any time, and I believe that 193 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: gives the political left a level of victory, saying, look 194 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: at them, they. 195 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: Never cared about the country. They could have done this 196 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 2: at any time. 197 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: You're saying, then, on the other side, why would we 198 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: govern with Democrats? They're not necessary, you're not necessary. We're 199 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: going to avoid you on every level. And then they're 200 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: gonna say you're avoiding us. And then we're gonna say, well, 201 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: you told us to avoid you on the shutdown and 202 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: on the continuing resolution, and they're gonna say, well, no, 203 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: we didn't. I mean, it's just gonna be that level 204 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: of childlike antic and so maybe my argument isn't one 205 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: of political observation. My argument is one of complete and 206 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: total exhaustion. You ridiculous children can't figure this out, and 207 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to find myself somehow concerned about political futures 208 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: or or how the politics plays out in the New 209 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: Jersey and Virginia races. The Virginia governor's race, which I 210 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: will get into, is very simple. Winsome Earl Sears thinks 211 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: that boys are boys and girls are girls, and thinks 212 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: that it's wrong to threaten people's children. Abigail Spamberger, the 213 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: Democrat running for governor, thinks boys can be girls and 214 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: girls should just suffer by not being able to get 215 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: spots on sports teams because they're taken by boys, and 216 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: that those candidates who threaten children should never once feel 217 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: any condemnation. There's the story. The story in the New 218 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: Jersey governor's race. Cheryl the Democrat, she didn't get to 219 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: walk in her own graduation with the military academy. I 220 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: forget which one right now, because she was involved in 221 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: a cheating scandal. And the Republican Jack Chiarelli, who may 222 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: not be perfect, is getting support from Trump. 223 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: And his team. You think these things have to do 224 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: with shutdown. 225 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: Try paying property taxes in New Jersey and get back 226 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: to me. 227 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: By the way, if you ever complain. 228 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: About property taxes, take a look at New Jersey's property taxes, 229 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: and then in about forty seven other states go okay, 230 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: it's not that bad. 231 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: Like it's that awful. Jersey is brutal when. 232 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: It comes to property taxes, and property tax is just 233 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: flat out wrong. The property tax should be eliminated everywhere. 234 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: But no, another conversation for another day. The shutdown is 235 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: about Democrats not willing to accept the fact that they lost. 236 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: You lost this one. It's okay. Sometimes you lose, go 237 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: back and fight another day. And their answer is why fight? 238 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: Why I fight another day when we can fight today? 239 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: After all, it gives us something to fight about. We're 240 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: losing on every other subject. At least on this we 241 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: get to take to our pulpits and rent our clothes 242 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: and say, whoe is me? 243 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: We're fighting for. 244 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: The American people as if they're paying attention, which is 245 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: of course the biggest point. 246 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: They're not. They're not. They're not paying. 247 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: Attention at all, which is the Democrat's biggest problem. And 248 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: they might be really waiting not waiting for the No 249 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: Kings rally, which I thought they were, or at least 250 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: others thought they were, and that was a conventional wisdom. 251 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: I should say that, but they may be waiting for 252 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: another shoe to drop. How much pain can they really inflict? 253 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: And I think the Republicans should say, vote for the 254 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: continuing Resolution already, what's wrong with you? I don't think 255 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: Republicans should see at any ground getting rid of the film. 256 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that actually helps you long term. But 257 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: these are Republicans, so maybe they'll do just that. I mean, 258 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: if anybody knows how to give in, it's a Republican. 259 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz. Today. 260 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 9: We're really creating a peace plan and an infrastructure here 261 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 9: where nothing. 262 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 4: Existed even a week and a day ago. 263 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 9: That's going to require a lot of work, it requires 264 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 9: a lot of ingenuity. But again, I just having seen 265 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 9: what's already been built in just the past seven days, 266 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 9: I think that we're on an incredible pathway here to 267 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 9: do something that has never been done. And I think, 268 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 9: you know, you've heard Steve Woodkoff say this, You've heard 269 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 9: the President, I believe say this that if we do 270 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 9: this the right way. 271 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 4: It could create a model. 272 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 9: I think that could lead to other piece agreements all 273 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 9: over the world because it shows what's possible when you're 274 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 9: willing to think outside the box and actually put some 275 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 9: elbow grease to get it done. 276 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: That's Jadie Vance. He's the Vice President of the United States. 277 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: You've seen pictures Lovely Beard. He's standing there with Benjamin 278 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: Ett Yahoo, the Prime Minister of Israel. There there in Israel, 279 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: he is discussing the peace plan and how does this 280 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: get achieved, especially when it is a moss violating the ceasefire, 281 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: not returning hostage remains like they promised. Tony Katz, Tony 282 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: Katz today, good to be with you, the Vice President continued. 283 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 9: In Israel, we don't want a vassal state, and that's 284 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 9: not what Israel is. We don't want a client state 285 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 9: and that's not. 286 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 4: What Israel is. We want a partnership. We want an 287 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 4: ally here. 288 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 9: And the President believes very strongly that if Israel takes 289 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 9: Israel honestly with our golfare of allies can play a 290 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 9: very positive leadership role in this region to where frankly, 291 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 9: the United States can care less about the Middle East 292 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 9: because our allies in the region are stepping up and 293 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 9: taking control and taking ownership of their area. 294 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 4: Of the world. 295 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 9: Now, that doesn't mean we don't have interests here, that 296 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 9: doesn't mean we don't care about what happens here. We 297 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 9: actually see this as an opportunity to build on the 298 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 9: Abraham Accords. I think this Gaza deal is a critical 299 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 9: piece of unlocking the Abraham Accords. But what it could 300 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 9: allow is an alliance structure in the Middle East that perseveres, 301 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 9: that endure, and it allows the good people in this 302 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 9: region the world to step up and take ownership of 303 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 9: their own backyard. That's in the United States best interest. 304 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 9: I happen to think that it's in Israel's best interest too. 305 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: The conversation about the Abraham Accords changing the way the 306 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: conversation takes place with Arab nations. They kept saying, well, 307 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: we can't work with Israel until we have a solution 308 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: to the Palestinian question. To the Palestinians, what about the Palestinians. 309 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: The Abraham Accords said, Hey, we don't have that answer, 310 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: but how about we engage some trade, we stop hating 311 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: each other so much, then we'll figure it out. And 312 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: a lot of these Arab nations said well, this other 313 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: way isn't getting us anywhere. Maybe we can make a 314 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: couple bucks. And we never cared about the Palestinians to 315 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: begin with, which is factual. All right, let's do this, 316 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: and that change is screwed up around tremendously, screwed up 317 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: all the people who want to destroy Israel tremendously because 318 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: now you had others saying yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, 319 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: I know. I hate those people too, but they're here. 320 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: So we're just going to do some work. 321 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: It changed the entire concept and it's still doing that. 322 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: As for disarming Hamas. 323 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 9: As the Prime Minister said, these are days of destiny 324 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 9: and we're very excited to sit down and work. 325 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 4: Together on the Kaza Peace Plan. 326 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 9: We have a very very tough task ahead of us, 327 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 9: which is to disarm Hamas, but rebuild Gaza, to make 328 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 9: life better for the people in Gaza, but also to 329 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 9: ensure that Amas is no longer a threat to our 330 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 9: friends in Israel. That's not easy. I think the Prime 331 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 9: Minister knows that as well as anybody. 332 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 4: But it's something that. 333 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 9: We're committed to in the Trump administration, and I think 334 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 9: that we've even in the past twenty four hours.

I didn't 340 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 9: know what to expect, honestly. I know the President was 341 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 9: here a week ago to welcome the hostages home and 342 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 9: actually sign the deal a week ind to it.

Stop rooting for failure. You're so desperate 356 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: and your hatred for Trump. You want the deal, not 357 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: to work. 358 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: I don't think you can create the peace with a 359 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: miles and mouse has to be destroyed. But if you're 360 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: going to go about it, start trying prove me wrong. 361 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: It's about an attitude. We'll get more into it. Keep 362 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: it here. 363 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today.

Abigail Spamberger, congresswoman running 381 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: for governor, has endorsed. 382 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: Him and isn't moving away from the endorsement. 383 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: When asked about it in the debate, point blank asked 384 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: about it, she not only refused to answer, she refused 385 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: to look at Winsome, would not look at Winsome. Earl 386 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: Sears just just refused. It was the craziest thing ever. 387 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: You knew this is gonna get used against you, and 388 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: the and the ads that they've used against Abigail Spamburger 389 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: are absolutely amazing, amazing how much they have been able 390 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: to get out of this, showing her to be the 391 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: absolute kind of it's kind of monstrous, uh in, and 392 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: how it gets presented that here is winsome. 393 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 2: Earl Sears. 394 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: Just answer the question, Abigail, answer the basic question, Abigail, 395 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: and she won't even look at her. Abigail Spamburger will 396 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: not look at her. It's it is a stunning bit 397 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: of of of back and forth where she's looking right 398 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: at her and Abigail s Vamberger is won't just won't 399 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: mention her, won't look at her, won't answer her. 400 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 2: Well, I think as everybody. 401 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 10: No, oh, I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian before I'm 402 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 10: a Republican, and I'm required to forgive people. And it's 403 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 10: hard sometimes when somebody has abused you, et cetera. But 404 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 10: it's something you must do because not to forgive, it's 405 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 10: almost like, as someone said, you drink poison thinking that 406 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 10: it's going to affect the other person. And I want 407 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 10: to live a decent life and I don't want to 408 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 10: not have peace in my life. And so I, as 409 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 10: I've said before, I would not say that. So that's 410 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 10: why I'm wondering why my opponent won't say beyond it's 411 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 10: abhorrent and disgusting, why she won't say it is not 412 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 10: okay and that he must leave the race. Because Jay 413 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 10: Jones advocated the murder, Abigail, the murder of a man, 414 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 10: a former. 415 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 2: Speaker, as well as his children. 416 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 10: Who were two years, two and five years old. 417 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 2: You have little girls. What would it take him pulling 418 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 2: the trigger? Is that? What would do it? 419 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 10: And then you would say he needs to get out 420 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 10: of the race, Abigail, You have nothing to say, Abigail. 421 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 10: What if he said it about your two children, your 422 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 10: three children? Is that when you would say he should 423 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 10: get out of the race, Abigail, you're running to the 424 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 10: governor won't answer. 425 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: It's a crazy, crazy bit of video there. Well, this 426 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: same Abigail Spamberger, she is, I don't know, you want 427 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: to call it, doing a podcast. So she's doing an 428 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: interview where all of a sudden, boys and girls sports 429 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: comes into the conversation. 430 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: Oh good lord, we're still doing this, and she. 431 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Is on the defensive claiming it's okay for boys to 432 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: be told they're girls, it's okay to tell girls to 433 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: take a backseat to boys. 434 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 10: What are your thoughts on youth sports allowing trans athletes 435 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 10: to participate. 436 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 3: Well, I think that we see and I mean it's 437 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: about thirty million dollars worth of attack ads against me 438 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 3: related to trans youth that they have run so far, 439 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: and there's there's more advice in the future. Some of 440 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 3: them about this, most of them about this. And I 441 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 3: think the reason that we have seen that Republicans continue 442 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: to use the issue of trans kids or trans kids 443 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 3: and sports participation as an attack. 444 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 4: Is, you know, there's multiple levels of it. One. 445 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 3: I think that broadly speaking, every pundit after the twenty 446 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 3: twenty four election you know, at least in part attribute 447 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 3: the Democratic loss to that one particular ad that spoke about, 448 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 3: you know, the sort of infamous. 449 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 4: They then add, if you will. 450 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 3: And so I think the takeaway from the twenty four 451 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 3: election for some folks was that that was, you know, 452 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 3: a really potent ad. And you know, certainly my opponent 453 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 3: is trying to you know, and even copy some of 454 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 3: the language. You know, the notably the quote unquote you 455 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 3: know is for the them element of that ad. 456 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: The ad was effective because the ad perfectly portrayed how 457 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: America sees this issue. And my gosh, you think this 458 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: is Republicans on the attack, This is Republicans in the protection. 459 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: It is the Democrats who are seen as the one 460 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: engaging in an attack on children, if they're okay with 461 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: mutilating children and telling young girls in sports to just 462 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: sit back and take it when a man or a 463 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: boy replaces them. She's lost this issue and brings up 464 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: the ad. 465 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: I think it was. 466 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: I think it was the White House put it out, 467 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: or I should say the Trump team that put it out. 468 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: The ad that that really hurt. She's admitting to it, and. 469 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: She's doubling down on her progressive opinion, that's pretty incredible stuff, 470 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: but it gets nuttier. 471 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 3: And and I think the real challenges there's a lot 472 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 3: of people who've you know, never met a transperson, whether 473 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 3: they're a transuth or an adult, and so there's a 474 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 3: real effort to engage in some level of fear mongering. 475 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 3: And you know, I really do believe that we should, 476 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 3: as a as a society, as a whole, you know, 477 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 3: demonstrate a fair amount of grace to people who are 478 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: confused about you know, when we're talking about bathrooms or 479 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 3: when we're talking about sports participation. 480 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: At least she used the word confused, but not in 481 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: the proper context. 482 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 2: They are indeed confused. So why is it that you 483 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: believe that for a. 484 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: Confused child, everybody else should manipulate. 485 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 2: Reality to allow them. 486 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: To continue to be confused. How is that helpful? How 487 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: is that valuable? It is a perfect articulation of how 488 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: the political left sees the world. They do not believe 489 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: in reality, and then working around it, they believe in 490 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: their fantasy, and you bending to it, You bend to 491 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: their invention of reality as opposed to a recognition of 492 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: what's actually happening in front of us. The boy says, 493 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: he's a girl, and now everybody's supposed to call him she. 494 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: And then he is on the girl swim team, and 495 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 1: he is wearing a dress and he's putting on makeup, 496 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: as if wearing a dress and putting on makeup is 497 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: what makes one a woman, dear Lord, or done either 498 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: one of those things, And I know that's not what 499 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: makes one a woman. You don't buy into the mental illness, 500 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: you don't buy into the confusion. You say, hey, you're confused, 501 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: let's help you through this, and you don't subject other 502 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: people to the madness. And she believes that doing so 503 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: is grace. And then of course, oh, let's see, the 504 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: Republicans are fearmongering because they never met a transperson. This 505 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: is not the argument. This is the pseudo intellectual place 506 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: of Abigail Spamberger and people on the political left, and 507 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: they think you should allow these boys to playing girl sports, 508 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: these men to play in women's. 509 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 2: Sports, and that that's grace. 510 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: Let's change gears for a moment and talk about grace, 511 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: because it just came up today. 512 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: There's a story out of. 513 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: The NBA where a guard for the Indiana Pacers. His 514 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: name is Cam Jones. Cam Jones he was arrested hadn't 515 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: played a game yet. 516 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: Rookie. What was he arrested for? He's speeding. Cam Jones 517 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: first name spelled Kam. 518 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: He's speeding. Police get behind him, sirens go off. He 519 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: keeps driving for miles. He's still driving the arrest. He 520 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: was arrested because police say he caused a brief pursuit 521 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: along Interstate sixty five. A brief pursuit. Well, I'm pretty 522 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: sure you're gonna go to jail for a brief pursuit. 523 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: In his statement, he says, quote, I made a statement. 524 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm deeply sorry to the Pacers organization and the fans. 525 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: This is a pretty traumatic experience for me. I've never 526 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: been through anything like this. It won't happen again. I'm 527 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: deeply sorry to the organization. I look forward to getting 528 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: past this and getting back to work. I read that 529 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: I said something is off about that because I apologize, 530 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: it won't happen again. I'm sorry. I look forward to 531 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: getting past this and getting back to work. Okay, I 532 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: think an apology is I did this, and I apologize. 533 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: He said, this was a pretty traumatic experience for me. 534 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: I've never been through anything like this. 535 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 2: And something about that just hits odd, right. It's like, Okay, 536 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 2: you're apologizing but you're not. But you know you did 537 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 2: something wrong. 538 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: But it's about how you are dealing with this trauma again, 539 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: dear Lord, everything about trauma. And someone reached out to 540 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: me on the Twitter X at Tony Katz. You find 541 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: me there on the X on the twitters and we're like, 542 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: twenty three years old, screwed up? 543 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: How about a little bit of grace? 544 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: Now in that situation, you can say, hey, he was speeding, 545 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: Hey endangered people's lives. But you could also say, young 546 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: man screwed up, Yes, twenty three, but screwed up? And 547 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: is you know, a large stage because he's a professional 548 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: athlete and I hope he has a good career. You 549 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: can have grace in that situation. And I said you could, 550 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: couldn't you? And we could all do with a little 551 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: more grace. I don't say no, I'm not saying you 552 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't be held accountable. Will there be in a jail 553 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: time or anything out He's got a court date and 554 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: everything else, but held accountable. But you can show a 555 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: level of grace there is that the same as showing 556 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: grace to adults who want to physically mutilate children, who 557 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: believe that young girls in schools should have to take 558 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: a back seat to boys who claim to be girls, 559 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: telling girls they should just lay back and take it. 560 00:31:53,240 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: That's showing grace. Supporting mental illness is not showing grace. Yes, 561 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: Abigail Spamberger is on the wrong side of this issue 562 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: on every single level. She doesn't even understand the concept 563 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: of grace. And I put forth to you that you 564 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: do not show grace to people who are proactive in 565 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: confusing children and mutilating children. Not school officials, not counselors, 566 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: not people in culture, not doctors, not medical professionals. You 567 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: mutilate children, you lose your license to practice medicine. You 568 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: should go to jail. 569 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 2: I'm not going to debate here. We're going to say 570 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 2: that's enough. We're gonna have no part of this. 571 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: You're not welcome in our society because we do not 572 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: have grace and we should not have grace for people 573 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: who abuse children. This is why the whole idea of apologies. 574 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: You apologize when you mean it, when you mean it, 575 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: but the accepting of apologies, ooh, the very concepts of forgiveness. 576 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: There are some things that I do believe you do 577 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: not forgive. If Erica Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, 578 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: wants to forgive her husband's assassin. 579 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 2: That is up to her. 580 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: It's her apology to accept. It is her forgiveness to give. 581 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 2: It's not mine. 582 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: My position on it is absolutely inconsequential. But even if 583 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: I am not the child who has been abused, don't 584 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,959 Speaker 1: ask me to find forgiveness for these people. 585 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,479 Speaker 2: It's not coming. I don't have to show child abusers grace. 586 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong in your view, but there is no 587 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: question that Abigail Spamberger is wrong in her view. And 588 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: I hope Winsome Earl Sears is the next governor of Virginia. 589 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz today. Where do we stand today? 590 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 7: Call those generations from forty five to forty seven in 591 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 7: the Futureshi pregancy now shared great and the people of India. 592 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 8: I love the people of India and we're working on 593 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 8: some great deals between our countries. I spoke to the 594 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 8: Prime Minister Bodi today as I mentioned before, and we 595 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 8: just have a very good relationship. And he's not going 596 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 8: to buy much oil from Russia. He wants to see 597 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 8: the war end as much as I do. He wants 598 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 8: to see at the war end with Russia Ukraine, and 599 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 8: as you know, they're not going to be buying too 600 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 8: much oil, so they've kind of way back and they're 601 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 8: continuing to cut it way back. 602 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to see how much India is cutting back. 603 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: I'm buying oil from Russia considering they're a poorer country 604 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: that would like to be a richer country, and cheap 605 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: energy is the way to do it. I mean, if 606 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: you're able to get MODI to reduce dependence on Russian oil, 607 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: this is huge. 608 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 2: This is massive. 609 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: Now I want to see not just a report, I 610 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: want to see the results of such efforts over a 611 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: length of time.

This is 624 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan Mikhail Gorbachev talk. It was about driving the 625 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: price of oil so low that they couldn't profit and 626 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: therefore the collapse. 627 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 2: That's what happened. You can do the same, you know. 628 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: The only thing that the late Senator John McCain was 629 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: ever one hundred percent accurate about was that Russia was 630 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: a gas station masquerading. 631 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 2: As a country.
