0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Tony Cats Radio on Twitter also known as x. You

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 2>find it at Tony Kats. It's not a deal.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not a deal. I don't know what what what

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 3>we're thinking, what we what we actually believe here? But

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>what if I'm wrong? And I had to ask myself

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 3>that question earlier. You take a look at what has

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 3>just happened with.

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna open up the strait of our moves and

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Iran agrees to this, and Rand agrees to that, And

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>you say to yourself, Ran doesn't agree to any How

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 2>can I Ran possibly agree to anything? Iran can't agree

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 2>because Iran doesn't have control, the IRGC has control. Any

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>amount of leadership. You want to talk about you can

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 2>talk about it from now and to the end of time.

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>They don't have control. The FIM Minister doesn't have control,

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 2>the president doesn't have control, the Iatola doesn't have control.

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Because the Iatola clearly has no control. I don't believe

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>the Iatola is alive. By the way, the old Iatola

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>is dead. The new Iatola I don't think is alive either.

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Any conversation they have is these are frauds for people,

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>So why would I trust them?

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I would put forth to you that there is no

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>top leadership, and the top leadership that may exist has

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 2>no control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. And I

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 2>put forth to you that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 2>has no connection to each other, none whatsoever, zero connection

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>to each other. They are acting independently. They are acting

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>in their own self interest, and they are acting well

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>as radical ideologues would act. They want destruction. We understand

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the rational mind that they want no deal whatsoever. Anybody

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>who thinks that Iran wants a deal is out of

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 2>their head. Iran wants destruction of Western civilization period. End

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>of discussion. We can move on from that. But I

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>have to ask myself a question, what is it that

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at? What is it that we are all seeing?

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 2>What is it that we are all dealing with here?

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 2>What started this? Well, what started this was a NonStop

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 2>bombardment campaign that then led to, Hey, they asked us

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>not to and they're going to make a deal and

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>we get a memorandum of understanding. The memorandum of understanding

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 2>is we said was nonsense. We said it from the beginning.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>There was nothing there that was legitimate, nothing there that

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>was real, nothing there that we should hang our hat on,

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 2>move on, move on. Now. Some people said, well, the

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>memorandum of understanding allows them to get a lot of money,

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>so it's not nothing that's legitimate. I thought that was

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>a legitimate argument that what happens in this memorandum of

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 2>understanding is that they're able to get access to cash

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>because we're going to take off the economic blockade allowing

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 2>them to sell oil billions of dollars. We shouldn't allow

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>them a single dime, let them starve economically, and then

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>what do they do. They screw it all up. They

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 2>screw it all up, because how could they not screw

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>it all up? This is who they are, This is

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>what they do. They can't make a deal. Deals mean

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 2>they can't do what they want, which is destroy Western

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>civilization and bring about Islam across the globe. This is

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>the desire, you say to me, Tony, there are other

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Islamic nations that they're attacking. Don't we understand that that

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 2>part is inconsequential. Of course, they'll attack other Aslamic nations.

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>They'll decide that that one isn't doing it right, and

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.279
<v Speaker 2>that one isn't doing it right. No one ever discusses

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 2>the Soni Shia fights, et cetera. I shouldn't say no one,

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 2>not enough people. So the MoU gets blown up, and

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 2>so what do we start doing? We put back the

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>economic blockade and then bam Powell ping. It's like Batman

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 2>meets Joe Peshi. We're knocking the snot out of people.

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Things are blown up, getting destroyed. And then you hear

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>that President Trump is willing to go all the way.

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 2>He is willing to knock out the desalinization plants. He's

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>willing to knock out the power plants. He's willing to

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 2>knock out the bridges, he's willing to knock out infrastructure.

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 2>He's willing to cripple the region. I'm willing to make

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 2>a deal, and then you don't make a deal. I'm

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>not putting up with that. And that led to this

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>talk before the weekend. He was getting him harder than

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>ever before. But what happens, well, magically, I say magically,

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>because we have all seen this story numerous times. Magically,

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:54.679
<v Speaker 2>what happens is that all the neighboring countries they came

0:05:54.800 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to the President and they said, let's not let's not

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 2>have you do this and take out this, and take

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>out that, and take out the other, and we'll get

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Iran to the table. And Iran will come to the table,

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and the Strait of our Moves will be open for

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 2>sixty days and you'll see oil prices go down, and

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 2>this will be great. And Iran says, we'll make the deal.

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Needs really seem fine with the deal, the President writing

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 2>that the country of Israel joins me in this commitment

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 2>of the immediate, complete and total opening of the Straight

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 2>of our Moves and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Based on this request, I've agreed, writes the President, for

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the future benefit of the world, and likewise, the survival

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.720
<v Speaker 2>of a successful and prosperous Iran to cancel the attack,

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and the decision is contingent on the parties being able

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to quote rapidly make a deal. At that moment, I

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>first tweeted out if you followed me on X, I said,

0:06:53.920 --> 0:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>dejavou all over again. We've been down this road. Something different.

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>What in the world is different. It's like Malcolm Gladwell's blink,

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 2>like I know it's different, but I don't know what

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>it is. And maybe it's not different. Maybe I'm different.

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Something is different in this And I stopped myself and

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I said, what is it that I'm looking at here?

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 2>This makes no sense. This is the same old stuff,

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>the same old song and dance. Why would you believe it?

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.239
<v Speaker 2>And I read and I'm looking and I'm paying attention

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to this one, that one the other one. And I

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>said to myself, perhaps what is different here? And I

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>ask you only not necessarily for agreement, but at least

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the acceptance of what is possible. I say to myself,

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 2>what if I'm looking at this all wrong? And what

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 2>if I'm looking at the deal all wrong? What if

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>no one is trying to make a deal with the

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Iranian regime. I am accurate in my assessment. I would

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 2>take this on with anybody anywhere, at any time. The

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Iranian so called leadership doesn't exist. It has no control

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>over the IRGC, none whatsoever. The IRGC is acting as

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 2>independent factions, not one group of the IERGC or faction

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 2>of the IOGC having any level of control or even

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 2>connection with another. Everyone acting in their own self interest

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 2>for their own ideological goals, whether that is dollars or

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 2>whether that is a caliphate. Right, so everybody is acting

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>the way they want to act. You can't make a

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>deal with the IERGC at all. The leadership has no

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>control of the IERGC, so a deal with them is meaningless.

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 2>What if that's not where the deal is. Follow me here.

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't say I've got it perfect. I am asking

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 2>a question of whether or not I'm onto something. And

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I know you're used to a lot of guys on

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>radio always saying that they've got this and they know

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>that and they're the experts. All they're sure. It's like

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 2>the influencer class, the expert on this thing until social

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 2>media is talking about something else twodays from now, and

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>then they're an expert on that thing. Boring as hell.

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 2>What if the deal that is being made has nothing

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 2>to do with Iran and it has to do with

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Saudi Arabia, the uae Bahrain, Jordan, etc. What if that's

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the deal I discuss ending the regime. I'm a believer

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 2>in regime change. I get that some people disagree with me.

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I believe that's the only way this group can be handled.

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>We have discussed that when the US hits Iran, Iran

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 2>doesn't hit Israel. No, what Iran does is Iran hits

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>everybody else around them. They hit their so called allies, friends,

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>like minded brethren, at least if you want to talk

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>about being Muslim or Islamist, not in every case, in

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 2>some cases is Lomist. And you say, why would they

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 2>hit those people, Well, the answer is you hit these

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>people so they will put pressure on the United States

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to stop bombing them. Hey, you're hitting Iran. Iran is

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>hitting us. Would you please stop hitting them so they

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 2>would stop hitting us. They are trying to engage their

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>own level of protection and Iran being more and more

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 2>backed into a corner. What will an animal do backed

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 2>into a corner? Will lash out? You knew this without

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 2>me telling you, So what other lash outs are going

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.319
<v Speaker 2>to happen. You think it's just going to be hitting

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>US bases and Jordan. No, no, no, it's going to

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 2>be going after their critical infrastructure. Iran can still do this.

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a great example, by the way, a messaging of

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.199
<v Speaker 2>if you think that Iran is bad, now is a problem. Now,

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 2>can still engage in threats now? Can still try and

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 2>decide the landscape. Now, imagine what happens if they had

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>a nuclear weapon. You have to be out of your

0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>mind to think that letting Iran get close to a

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 2>nuclear weapon or thinking about a nuclear weapon is okay.

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 2>You have to be certifiably insane. Oh hi, Marjorie Taylergreen,

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 2>how you doing?

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't really talking about you. I was just talking

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 2>about people who are criminally insane. I see where you

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>can be confused. You cannot let them get close, you can't.

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.199
<v Speaker 2>I do agree that Iran has been at war with

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 2>US for forty seven years. We don't have to be

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 2>at war with Iran. Iran is at war with us.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 2>So what idea could we possibly have of saying they're

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 2>not a threat to us, They're not a problem to us. Oh,

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.079
<v Speaker 2>it's no big deal. It's some of the most embarrassing

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>childlike silly talk I have ever witnessed. Oh hey, Tucker, no,

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I was talking about child like silly talk. But I

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.719
<v Speaker 2>see where you could have thought I was talking about you.

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Miss You don't know what happens. I hope you figure

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 2>it out. So what if the deal goes like yes,

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 2>these other nations don't want to get hit, they don't

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 2>want to have any threat to their critical infrastructure. They

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>need another way. We start with Major Mike Lyons, retired

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 2>United States Army military analysts you hear on the show

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>very often talking about the idea of siege. He said,

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 2>we need a siege, the economic blockade, keeping them locked in,

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.319
<v Speaker 2>letting them fall apart, feeling the economic crunch, and you

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 2>should continue the bombing. That's what he said. But what

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 2>if you have this, You keep up the economic blockades,

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't allow them to sell any oil, you don't

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 2>allow any money to get to the terrorist groups, you

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 2>don't allow them to function. They slowly start to crack

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:53.959
<v Speaker 2>under that pressure. You stop the bombing. So Iran will

0:12:54.000 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>stop the bombing. But you say to Saudi Arabia, to Bachraine,

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.079
<v Speaker 2>to the UAE, to Jordan, what's in it for us?

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>What do we get? What if that's the way the

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>deal goes, Now we can have a real deep conversation

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 2>about what do we get. I can give a couple suggestions.

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the answer. I can give a couple

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 2>of ideas. Number one, the commitment of troops to go

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 2>into Iran to end the IRGC. Saudi troops, Ue troops,

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Pokraan troops, Jordanian troops, they go in. Maybe they work

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 2>with the Kurds. Maybe it's about them putting up the

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 2>money to give the get the guns to the Kurds

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 2>so the Kurds can take out the IRGC and the

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:45.680
<v Speaker 2>people can rise up. Maybe it's oil. We already see

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>cracks and divisions amongst opek. We already see these changes

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 2>happening from nations that want to make their money now

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 2>and they don't want to have to wait it out

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty or thirty years, and they don't want other people

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>out there deciding what the cost of oil should be.

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>So it could be oil, it could be troops, and

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 2>it could be that I'm wrong about both, because less

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 2>than an hour from when I started talking, President Trump

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>put out on true Social oh crap, Iranian leadership is

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>unbelievably duplicitous. They asked for a meeting, some would say,

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>beg talks begin with more schedule than the immediate future.

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 2>And they say openly and proudly that they're not having

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 2>any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they're

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 2>only dealing with Oman. Then they go on to give

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 2>their usual blatherer in saying the straight up, our mouds

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>will be operated powerfully by them when it is already

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 2>completely controlled by the United States Navy in our blockade,

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 2>or as some say, the United States Wall of Steel.

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 2>I have not heard anybody say the United States Wall

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 2>of steel. That's awesome. Quote. Nothing gets through to Iran

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.480
<v Speaker 2>unless we want it to, and nothing will get through

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 2>unless a deal or total surrender is accomplished. Now he

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 2>hasn't said the words I want to make sure I'm

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 2>clear on this. Someone double check me, Beth in the chat,

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 2>get on it. He hasn't said the words total surrender

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 2>in a while. That was talk in the beginning. He

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 2>hasn't said that in a while. Nothing will get through,

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>writes President Trump unless a deal or total surrender is accomplished. Quote,

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 2>in fact talking of a solution to a problem that

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 2>they have caused for decades. It is very simple. Iran

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 2>will never have a nuclear weapon. Thank you for your

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 2>attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. Maybe that

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 2>just takes my entire conversation, throws it away. Maybe maybe

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 2>it proves the conversation true. We are in fact talking

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>of a solution to a problem that they have caused

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 2>for decades. He can be talking about it with the

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Iranians or whoever in the Iranian government. He could be

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about it with others. He could be talking to

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 2>two different groups of people at the same time. I

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I'm right, but I don't think I'm wrong.

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Who said the deal had to be with Iran? Maybe

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that is where the real deal making is. I'm Tony

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Katz in. This is Tony Katz today. So what happened

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 2>with Morocco in this Spanish city state, if you will,

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 2>which I have still not ever heard pronounced, I've only

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>read it. I took off a couple of days, Tony Kats,

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Tony Kats today, good to be with you. I went

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 2>up Chicago, caught a White Sox game. I almost cut

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 2>off my finger. That's a true story. That's a true story.

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I got my finger caught a card door. I when

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.919
<v Speaker 2>I was a teenager. I think it was maybe I

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 2>was twenty. I got my whole hand caught in a

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 2>card door literally closed. I was just sitting there and

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 2>someone closed the door and boom, and it hurt. But

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 2>nothing got broken, nothing got cut. This I was talking

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 2>to my oldest and we were going to the game,

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 2>and I was doing this, and I was throwing something.

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm moving things around weight I'm gonna need that in

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 2>boom caught the finger and I caught the finger, and

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.680
<v Speaker 2>my oldest you are right. I'm like, I need one minute,

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 2>leave me alone, because I just needed to be like

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.439
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe I did that. How embarrassing that I did.

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 2>And we're in this parking lot of this like hot

0:17:55.760 --> 0:18:00.919
<v Speaker 2>dog stand where we parked near right field, which used

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to be Kamisky, and no one calls things what they

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 2>are anymore. It's pathetic. And so I'm like, I look

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 2>at the top of the finger and the top of

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the fingers cut. Its starting to bleed. I'm like, son

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>of them, keep your calm, Tony, you've got band aids

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.120
<v Speaker 2>in the car. You know you do get it done.

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.880
<v Speaker 2>So I go into the car. I toss my sunglasses

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 2>onto the roofs the hood of the car. I open

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 2>up the door and I put my hand down to

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>look for the band ad to put the left hand

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 2>down where I've cut myself, right left pointer finger, and

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I go to reach and I slipped, and I realized

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.119
<v Speaker 2>I didn't just cut myself from the top, cut myself underneath.

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:38.919
<v Speaker 2>It's a real cut, ladies and gentlemen.

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 4>It was.

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Not great. I slid. I'm like, oh damn, well, I

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 2>gotta go see a game. So we find the band aids.

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I have three band aids on there. We walk to

0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a great field, which is just a couple of blocks

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.919
<v Speaker 2>from where we're parking, and my kid is like, are

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 2>you gonna be all right? I'm like, dude, I don't

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>feel any pain, which could be a sign of you've

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 2>got a serious problem. You're just in shock. No, No,

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. I didn't sever her anything or anything like that.

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I think a little harder of a door slam, and

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I could have never lost any color in the finger.

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:24.159
<v Speaker 2>So just a public service announcement, don't go see the

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Chicago White Sox, You'll die way is I don't have

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the message? Oh yeah, don't be a schmuck and get

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 2>your finger caught in a car door. Just ridiculous. I'll

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 2>get into the story about Morocco coming up. Just Tony

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Cats today. So President Trump was on a plane. It's

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.119
<v Speaker 2>like we're on a bridge, Charlie, but different Tony Kats.

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Tony Kats today. Good to be with you. And if

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>you got that, you're you're my friend. We're on a bridge, Charlie. Meanwhile,

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 2>President Trump is flying an Air Force one and he

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 2>has thoughts. As you you know, the man often has

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of thought. I like BBC better than ABC.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Is down on the team if they don't approve. But

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 2>we have a man named dot Lage. He's outstanding in

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.439
<v Speaker 2>every way. Most of you know he is. You're not

0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 2>going to find a better US and everybody.

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.400
<v Speaker 7>And it's because in fact, that board is a vote

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 7>that has a voted one on a last side.

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.160
<v Speaker 2>This is the only reason the recent sady.

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 7>But I will say there are a lot of people

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:33.640
<v Speaker 7>that like people were hurting so bad that twenty few

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 7>suicides they would destroy, their families would destroy.

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Now the President is talking about the weaponization funds, and

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:47.959
<v Speaker 2>we are going to dig into this because the weaponization

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.719
<v Speaker 2>fund is now dead and it's the weaponization fund that

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>was keeping Todd Blanche from being confirmed. That seems to

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.919
<v Speaker 2>be over Tony Katz, Tony Cats that I forgot if

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 2>I said hello, Sometimes I forget. But I'm going to

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.879
<v Speaker 2>dig into this about what it is that has happened

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 2>here and the deal making that has taken place. He

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 2>also spoke about the possibility of a deal with the

0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Ran this is before in today's announcement, and why he

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 2>isn't going forward with his planned attack many many years

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 2>to ever build it back. I don't think it would

0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 2>be you would building a bet.

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 7>So we had we had an attact that would be

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 7>the biggest attack since World War Two, and it would

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:42.199
<v Speaker 7>have been disasters with them, and they didn't want us

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 7>to do it. At frankly, I sad he Arabi didn't

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 7>want it either.

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:50.639
<v Speaker 2>They're good that the deal is eminent and.

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 7>The deal is eminent having to do with the hormos

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 7>straight and also the ultimately that you go toolarization of the.

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Deal. The deal, the deal, It's gonna be lots and

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 2>lots and lots of deals. And this is why I

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 2>started listening to this as well, and I'm like, there's

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.119
<v Speaker 2>something I think that the deal might not be with

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 2>a Ran, it might be with these, with these other nations.

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 2>We will have more on that as well. We are

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 2>keeping our eyes on the Michigan primary which is tomorrow,

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 2>and how the DSA, the Democratic Socialists are rallying around this.

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Abdul Sayd going against Haley Stevens. Not that I'm a

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 2>big Hailey Stevens fan, but she's at least not an

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Islamist and not a communist. She's more left than I

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 2>would like. And I can show you polling that doesn't

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 2>work out well for either one of them. Against the

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Republican Rogers for this Senate seat. In today's poll, the

0:22:55.800 --> 0:23:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Epic Poll Rogers forty six, LSAAD forty three. I can

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 2>show you one poll where Stevens is edging Rogers by

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:08.880
<v Speaker 2>two points within the margin of error. I can show

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 2>you one POE where Rogers is edging Stephens by three points. Therefore,

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the race is a toss up. But it seems that

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 2>said gives Republicans a better chance for victory. And this

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 2>is the thing that should be concerning Democrats in primaries

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>all across the country should be But doesen't. Why because

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 2>when you are ideological first, and when you are afraid

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:36.719
<v Speaker 2>of Hassan Piker, you'll do anything and you'll say anything.

0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:43.040
<v Speaker 2>But we now come to some newer parts about the DSA,

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Socialists of America, who are communists. There is

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 2>no such thing as a democratic socialist. It's a lie.

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what they say. I don't care that

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:58.719
<v Speaker 2>there's some website where somebody wrote a definition. They are

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 2>what they are. They believe in dismantling the constitution. They

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 2>believe in getting rid of private property rights. They believe

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.479
<v Speaker 2>that you should not be allowed to do anything they

0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 2>don't say you can do. They are what they are.

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:22.160
<v Speaker 2>They are communists. End of list. They now have taken

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 2>to a support of China. Friends of Socialist China have

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 2>nine hundred and fifty two signatories. This is a London

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 2>based group to support the People's Republic of China and

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:43.720
<v Speaker 2>to promote understanding of Chinese socialism. May we stop? This

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 2>is an actual story from the New York Post. Can

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 2>we stop for just a moment? There is no such

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 2>thing as Chinese socialism. They are communists, and if somebody's

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 2>going to say, well, no, they're actually socialists. You don't

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 2>understand at that moment, we're going to have to start

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:09.400
<v Speaker 2>institutionalizing people. Oh wait, they're allowed to actually walk free

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:13.520
<v Speaker 2>and vote like I do. They want to tell me

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 2>that China's not a communist nation and they get a vote.

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 2>What kind of crazy for Cocta country is this? But

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.399
<v Speaker 2>they do. They do get the vote, and no, they

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.879
<v Speaker 2>don't get institutionalized, although I'm still going to advocate for it.

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Eleven self described VSA members are among those who sign

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the pledge and resolve to support defend the build understanding

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 2>of Chinese socialism. If you really need anything else, I

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 2>can't help you. And if you are engaged with people

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:56.120
<v Speaker 2>who won't accept the fact that they're communists, who will

0:25:56.160 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 2>try to defend this, you can't help them. The only

0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 2>people you can help yourselves, your family. It's the best

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 2>you can do. And I have long understood that when

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 2>it's a family composition, right, and everyone's still trying to

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, connect and get along. Okay, we disagree politically,

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 2>but you know we can agree on we all love,

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, pick the team whatever I used to say.

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I understand that and then in the same breath, I

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 2>would say things like, you know, when you're having your

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Thanksgiving dinner, you do not have to invite that uncle

0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:40.879
<v Speaker 2>who likes to scream and everybody or that aunt who

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 2>likes to get political, and she's allowed to say whatever terrible,

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 2>awful thing she wants. And then everyone tells you, don't

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 2>say anything. Let's just get through this. No, don't invite

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 2>the aunt. Why in the world would you put yourself

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:58.640
<v Speaker 2>through that? Why would we ever tell anybody to put

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 2>themselves through that scool through that? Tell Aunt Matilda to

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:08.159
<v Speaker 2>eat alone with their five cats. You're not welcome in

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>my house, Aunt Matilda. You're nasty or despicable. I don't

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:14.680
<v Speaker 2>want those politics anywhere near me. If you just not

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 2>talk politics, we can at least sit and enjoy a meal.

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:19.560
<v Speaker 2>But you think you can say anything and I have

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 2>to be quiet. Screw everybody. No, no, no, no, I'll

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 2>start new traditions. I'll start new traditions with new people.

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:30.719
<v Speaker 2>And people said to me, oh, it's not very pro family.

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I push forth to you that family is not necessarily blood.

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Some people believe this from personal experience. Some people believe

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:45.399
<v Speaker 2>this because they just understand it to be true. I

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 2>do not believe, and I've been saying this for years,

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 2>that you have to put yourself through it. As a

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 2>matter of fact, I favor not putting yourselves through it.

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 2>You deserve better. You don't have to put yourself through

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:05.920
<v Speaker 2>through the madness. I have come to believe this now

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 2>about your children on a whole myriad of subjects. I

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:16.880
<v Speaker 2>have college age kids, and I'll tell you as clear

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:19.960
<v Speaker 2>as day that my relationship with them seems to be

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>somewhat fantastic. I'm a fortunate, fortunate man. They're decent people,

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 2>and they have unique interests and unique personalities as your kids.

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:33.160
<v Speaker 2>If you have kids, you know, regardless of the age,

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 2>do as well, and you deal with them differently. Not

0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 2>everything is equal, which is I think the weirdest thing

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 2>in the world. No, not everybody gets things that are equal.

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Each Each relationship has its own ebb and flow. I

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 2>am fortunate to have a good relationship, to have a

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 2>rational relationship, to be able to engage, to agree and disagree.

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Do my kids have my politics is a question that

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I get a lot, and the answer is someone They've

0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:06.719
<v Speaker 2>got to figure out their path and their way. They

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 2>have got to figure out as they engage with other people. Well, Dad,

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I engage with this group and that group at school,

0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 2>in this group and that group from my school, and

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:19.360
<v Speaker 2>they're all fine, Well you're talking about your friends. Are

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>we talking about those groups at large? Do you have

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:28.120
<v Speaker 2>enough life experience yet to know? So it's not about

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:32.000
<v Speaker 2>being judgmental. It is about being clear. But things have

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 2>to be experienced, some things don't. You can know somebody

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 2>who is a boy who claims to be a girl,

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 2>a man who claims to be a woman. You can

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 2>know them, but you never forget that they're mentally ill.

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't matter what they say, it doesn't matter anything. You

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 2>have to know that. You don't have to be mean,

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to be rude, you don't have to

0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 2>stop talking to them. You have to understand what it

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 2>is that you're dealing with. If you know somebody who

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 2>says they're a Communists, you have to know that they're

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 2>a bad person who believes in murder. This is what

0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 2>communists do. This is their entire history. Now, the communists

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 2>will tell you that communists never murdered one hundred million people. Well,

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:24.640
<v Speaker 2>of course the communists will tell you this. All communists

0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 2>are liars, at all times, at every time. They're a liar.

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 2>They don't stop lying. They are such liars that they

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 2>will tell you that China just socialists, you know, just

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:49.239
<v Speaker 2>some big social programs like Norway. Well then they call

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Norway a socialist country, which it isn't. But neither here

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 2>nor there. China is a communist nation to which if

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you step out of line, you will be just appeared,

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 2>where every action is recorded on camera. This is why

0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I oppose flocks cameras and the other ones, the along

0:31:07.200 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 2>cameras I believe they're called. All of that is government surveillance.

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't care if a CoP's job is made harder

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 2>because the cameras are gone. The cameras have to be gone.

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 2>But you don't think China's communism, you are a communist nation,

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 2>you want to openly support them. The only thing that

0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 2>communists ever got right was the phrase useful idiots. And

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 2>that's the DSA, all of their membership, all of their supporters,

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 2>including alexandria A Kasu Cortez and Ayana Presley and Mashida Taliba,

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:41.960
<v Speaker 2>ilhan Omar and Bernie Sanders, all of them useful idiots.

0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>And thus I bring it back to your kids, because

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 2>when your kids start saying they're a communist, you're supposed

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to tell them now, and you're supposed to say, I'm sorry,

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not paying for that college anymore. No, no, no, no,

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 2>you don't come upon this on your own. Those people

0:31:57.480 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 2>are putting crap into your head and you're acting in

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the dam. I won't pay for that. The answer is no.

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I have come around to the idea. I mean, certainly,

0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I've always believed that you have to love your children

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 2>enough to say no, and you have to recognize that

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 2>you're the parent and not a friend. But I have

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 2>really come around to voicing the concepts of you have

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 2>to be proactive in the movements. I don't pay for

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 2>that school. I don't pay for that car. I don't

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 2>pay for you to be a part of that. I

0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:27.120
<v Speaker 2>won't do it, and I won't sit there and listen

0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 2>to it in my home. And if you want to

0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 2>talk to me, you have to accept the fact that

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 2>we will never ever have a place where I have

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 2>to count out to you you're wrong. You have to

0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:43.120
<v Speaker 2>love your kids enough to say so, because the DSA

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 2>are communists and they are flat out dangerous. I'm Tony

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Katz and this is Tony Kats today. One more peace

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 2>to add to the communists or the dssay also, don't

0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 2>forget that they're bigots in general. And this is Dana Nessel.

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I am no fan of Dana Nessel. Who in the

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 2>world is Dana Nessel. Dana Nessel is the Attorney General

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 2>of Michigan. Me. I'm Tony Katz. The show is Tony

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Kats today. You are fantastic and you look great in

0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:23.000
<v Speaker 2>those genes. Dana Nessel will not be attending the Michigan

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Democratic Convention. Dana Nessel has said I can't go because well,

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jewish and that group is a serious issue and

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 2>they are safety concerns. I feel like my president isn't

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:53.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be welcome. Let me say that again. I

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 2>feel like my presence isn't going to be welcome. I

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 2>don't want to get chased around. I don't want to

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 2>get harassed. I don't want to get yelled and screamed at.

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get booed off the stage, irrespective

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 2>of what I'm saying. And I believe that if I go,

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 2>that is what will happen, because it's happening to me

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Democrats are yelling, screaming, booing, and waiting their moment to

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 2>attack the Attorney General of Michigan because she's Jewish. Hey, Tony,

0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:26.800
<v Speaker 2>why are you armed?

0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:33.360
<v Speaker 4>This is the.

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Reality of the situation. We all understand that this is

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the reality of the situation. What I've been trying to

0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:43.399
<v Speaker 2>impress upon all of you for quite a few years

0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 2>now is that this is not about Jews. This is

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:55.720
<v Speaker 2>about Christians. You're the target. We are the easing stepping stone.

0:34:55.840 --> 0:35:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Why because specifically liberal Jews are schmucks and they're more

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 2>than happy to be utilized in their own destruction. I

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 2>say this clearly. Maybe this is why I'm not asked

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 2>to speak in so many synagogues. We Christians, this is

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 2>about you. Jews are not the target. Jews are just first.

0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 2>It's about you, and man, I could really use your help,

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>we all could in ending these threats.

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Keep it here, Tony Kats Today, Live, Rumball, Heartbyer and

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the Crossroads of America. It's Tony Kats Today. I'm not

0:35:55.680 --> 0:35:58.719
<v Speaker 1>quite sure there's anything left to say.

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:07.440
<v Speaker 2>About the WNBA. I mean, I've got the telegraphs talking

0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 2>about Sophie Cunningham as Basketball's new anti trans Maga poster girl.

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:22.840
<v Speaker 2>What when did you say she was anti trans? Girls

0:36:22.880 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 2>should be in girls sports. Girls sports are for girls.

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:31.239
<v Speaker 2>That's anti trans. No, No, it's no, it's not. And

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 2>who's still fighting this fight? And why?

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 4>You know?

0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 2>What we said here from the beginning was was that

0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever has done absolutely nothing wrong.

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:47.680
<v Speaker 2>She has said absolutely nothing wrong. She said that girl

0:36:47.760 --> 0:36:53.040
<v Speaker 2>sports should be for girls and that children is normal.

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 2>It's the rational course. Tony Kats Tony Kats today, so

0:36:58.280 --> 0:36:59.719
<v Speaker 2>good to be with you. Find everything I do with

0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 2>tonycats dot com. It was a story from The Guardian.

0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Sophie Cunningham isn't rejecting politics, She's cashing in on them.

0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:17.480
<v Speaker 2>This whole article ends in the following manner. Sophie Cunningham

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 2>has been in the league eight years. She'll be thirty

0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:21.960
<v Speaker 2>later this month, five and a half years older than Clark,

0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and for the large majority of those years she's been

0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:27.080
<v Speaker 2>a serviceable, unremarkable player who was a top notch three

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:30.400
<v Speaker 2>point shooter. She wasn't even who the marketers picked to

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 2>sell sex to the boys. The role of the glammed

0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 2>up blonde beauty baller belonged to six or four inch

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Cameron Brink. Cunningham needed the culture War to get on

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the map, needing it as much as it needed her,

0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:45.520
<v Speaker 2>and all it took was a silly finger point and

0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:49.800
<v Speaker 2>being in opposition as someone black to the aggrieved whites

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.839
<v Speaker 2>standing up to someone black men standing up for them.

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Add transphobia to her portfolio, and the result is a star,

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:02.040
<v Speaker 2>the latest participant in an old game no more complicated

0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:05.440
<v Speaker 2>than checkers, but far less interesting. The author of this

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 2>piece of a guy the name of Howard Bryant. Now

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:15.800
<v Speaker 2>that paragraph tells the story of part of the WNBA story,

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 2>which is the media that covers the WNBA is desperate

0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:24.160
<v Speaker 2>for that league to stay black and gay. Now I

0:38:25.120 --> 0:38:27.040
<v Speaker 2>could get in a whole bunch of trouble for saying that.

0:38:27.560 --> 0:38:29.719
<v Speaker 2>I could have people coming after me for saying that.

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I just quoted the author who said that's what we

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:43.120
<v Speaker 2>do here and put it in the context of white

0:38:43.160 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 2>people are just so angry. No, white people aren't a group,

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:52.360
<v Speaker 2>like black people aren't a group, like gay people are

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 2>in a group. They have their own minds and their

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:59.080
<v Speaker 2>own thoughts. Maybe, mister Bryant or anybody else if they

0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:01.520
<v Speaker 2>could just stop be bigots for five minutes. We can

0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:07.880
<v Speaker 2>have ourselves a better conversation. The issue here is that

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Caitlin Clark is a star. We know the story here.

0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 2>She's simply better than the rest. And even if she

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:19.359
<v Speaker 2>isn't actually better than the rest, she has captured the imagination.

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:24.240
<v Speaker 2>And that's the way it goes. You think Taylor Swift

0:39:24.360 --> 0:39:26.960
<v Speaker 2>is really a super great songwriter and a super great voice,

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 2>no part of that is true. She has captured the

0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 2>imagination and that's why it's stadium tour after stadium tour

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:37.239
<v Speaker 2>after stadium tour. That's what she was able to do.

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Dame Cook has sold out stadiums. Don't ask me captured

0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:47.239
<v Speaker 2>the imagination for just a moment, I'll give you the

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:51.479
<v Speaker 2>most unpopular opinion in the history of mankind. Andrew Dice

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Clay was never that funny, but it was a really

0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:59.560
<v Speaker 2>good routine. Captured the imagination and you wanted to be

0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:03.800
<v Speaker 2>a part of it. The attitude was fun. Stadium tours,

0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:08.680
<v Speaker 2>comics in stadiums, man, that's the goal. Because every comic

0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:13.000
<v Speaker 2>wishes they were a rock and roll guy, wishes that

0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:15.919
<v Speaker 2>they were a rock star. We know this to be true.

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Rock stars want to be actors. Actors want to be comics,

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:20.600
<v Speaker 2>comics who want to be rock stars. That I believe

0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:28.919
<v Speaker 2>that is the circle of life. The WNBA has every

0:40:28.960 --> 0:40:31.719
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to be better off because of Caitlin Clark. She

0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 2>captured the imagination. She brought people to the sport. She

0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:40.239
<v Speaker 2>brought the players from commercial flights to private flights. She

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:43.960
<v Speaker 2>brought them better hotels, she brought them better contracts, she

0:40:44.160 --> 0:40:47.880
<v Speaker 2>brought them more money. She did it. It's a lot

0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:49.879
<v Speaker 2>to put on a twenty four to twenty five year old,

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:57.960
<v Speaker 2>but she did it. That's the end. Sophie Cunningham didn't

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 2>come along to be a star because of Caitlyn Clark.

0:41:03.080 --> 0:41:06.480
<v Speaker 2>She came along to be a star because the WNBA

0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:10.720
<v Speaker 2>had no interest in having a star like Caitlyn Clark

0:41:11.080 --> 0:41:13.919
<v Speaker 2>because she was too white and too straightened. Now that's

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:18.400
<v Speaker 2>a very rude thing to say, but I'm not the

0:41:18.520 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 2>one saying it. I notice that they say it constantly

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:29.680
<v Speaker 2>and consistently, over and over and over and over again,

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.479
<v Speaker 2>overshadowing this one and overshadowing that one. The only reason

0:41:33.520 --> 0:41:35.640
<v Speaker 2>people like hers because she's white in this and then

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:39.040
<v Speaker 2>the media needs a straight white woman as opposed to

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:45.280
<v Speaker 2>she brought the excitement, ride the wave. Call a penalty

0:41:45.320 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 2>on her when it's her penalty. Call a penalty on

0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Sophie Cunningham when it's Sophie Cunningham's penalty. But because Sophie

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Cunningham has decided to be protective of Caitlyn Clark, because

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Sophie Cunningham isn't a pread a fight, because she's able

0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:04.560
<v Speaker 2>to utilize social media can make a moment like the

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 2>meme of the point right, all the pointing, she gets

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:12.160
<v Speaker 2>attacked and vilified, and when playing the Minnesota Lynx, she

0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 2>gets elbowed in the face and she gets called for

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:18.839
<v Speaker 2>the penalty. Let me say it again for the people

0:42:18.880 --> 0:42:24.200
<v Speaker 2>in cheap seats, she got elbowed in the face and

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:30.319
<v Speaker 2>she got called for the penalty. She didn't have the ball.

0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:35.560
<v Speaker 2>The player with the ball elbowed her in the face,

0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:41.719
<v Speaker 2>and Sophie Gunningham got called for the penalty. And then

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:47.560
<v Speaker 2>she had the audacity, the audacity to say that girl

0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 2>sports should be for girls, and that was it, That

0:42:50.320 --> 0:42:55.000
<v Speaker 2>was it, game over. She is a bigot, and she

0:42:55.600 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 2>is terrible, and she's mega and all the rest of

0:43:01.040 --> 0:43:10.880
<v Speaker 2>the nonsense. The hate machine went full throttle. By the way,

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:13.480
<v Speaker 2>not only did I believe the Guardian referred to her

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:18.320
<v Speaker 2>as anti trans, they referred to as anti black. The

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:21.480
<v Speaker 2>media that covers the NBA is amongst the most bigoted

0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:25.480
<v Speaker 2>and the most terrible out there. They really are awful,

0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:35.200
<v Speaker 2>positively awful. But what is worse possibly are the coaches,

0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the coaches who have put themselves in a position of

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 2>being in favor of men in their sport. Now, a

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:51.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of people have been discussing what happens when the

0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:58.080
<v Speaker 2>WNBA allows this, When the WNBA allows men in because

0:43:58.360 --> 0:44:02.080
<v Speaker 2>they identify as this, that or the other, that's going

0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:07.879
<v Speaker 2>to be the end. That's going to be the end

0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 2>of the WNBA. By the way, did I call it

0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:15.759
<v Speaker 2>a penalty and not a foul? My mistake. I apologize

0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:19.840
<v Speaker 2>for that. I was looking that the US men's soccer

0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:23.000
<v Speaker 2>team did just sign Pochettino to a long term contract

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:25.480
<v Speaker 2>through twenty thirty, and maybe that's why I was doing it.

0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 2>It just came up foul, not penalty. My apologies. Now,

0:44:33.440 --> 0:44:37.960
<v Speaker 2>coach after coach after coach got asked what they think

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:44.160
<v Speaker 2>about Sophie Cunningham standing up for girls in girls sports,

0:44:44.800 --> 0:44:47.440
<v Speaker 2>which is a normal position. She didn't say a single

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:50.319
<v Speaker 2>thing that's political. The people who say she says something

0:44:50.360 --> 0:44:53.600
<v Speaker 2>political are the people who are broken. They are tools,

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:56.080
<v Speaker 2>and they are in danger to themselves and others. Why

0:44:56.160 --> 0:44:58.879
<v Speaker 2>do I say such a thing, Because if you can

0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:05.440
<v Speaker 2>believe that girls sports are not for girls, you'll believe anything.

0:45:07.320 --> 0:45:09.840
<v Speaker 2>If girls sports are not for girls, there are no

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:11.040
<v Speaker 2>girl sports.

0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:12.839
<v Speaker 1>The end.

0:45:14.520 --> 0:45:19.160
<v Speaker 2>It is such a factual statement, such a clear statement,

0:45:20.040 --> 0:45:24.440
<v Speaker 2>such an understandable statement. It can't be denied. Only the

0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:26.719
<v Speaker 2>irrational can deny it. And those people are irrational, and

0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:32.000
<v Speaker 2>they should be mocked. People who are going through this

0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:35.440
<v Speaker 2>mental illness I think should be shown respect and love.

0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:40.320
<v Speaker 2>People who want to push mental illness on others or

0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:42.480
<v Speaker 2>get you to buy into that somebody else is meant

0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:44.919
<v Speaker 2>to owness means you have to change the way you live. Yeah,

0:45:45.200 --> 0:45:50.200
<v Speaker 2>those people, those people, they need to be pushed aside,

0:45:50.800 --> 0:45:55.600
<v Speaker 2>mocked them, ridiculed, is fine. So we get back to

0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the coaches, because one by one they're asked what do

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:06.920
<v Speaker 2>you think about what Sophie Cunningham said? They can't figure

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:11.399
<v Speaker 2>out how to be rational. I have got the coach

0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:21.839
<v Speaker 2>of the Minnesota links quite literally wearing ah, she's got

0:46:21.920 --> 0:46:25.800
<v Speaker 2>a shirt on and What does the shirt say. The

0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:32.480
<v Speaker 2>shirt says trans kids belong, What does that even mean?

0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:37.960
<v Speaker 2>What possibly could that mean? Trans kids belong belong? What

0:46:40.640 --> 0:46:44.880
<v Speaker 2>girls belong? In girl sports? Boys who say their girls

0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 2>do not your shirt trans kids belong is nothing more

0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:58.040
<v Speaker 2>than some kind of irrational sloganeering. It's virtue signaling. Look

0:46:58.080 --> 0:47:01.120
<v Speaker 2>at me, I'm nice, Look at me I care. You

0:47:01.280 --> 0:47:03.400
<v Speaker 2>don't care. You sure as hell don't care about kids.

0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:07.359
<v Speaker 2>You don't care about girls. And that's the story time

0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:10.120
<v Speaker 2>and again in the WNBA, and what has come out

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:13.040
<v Speaker 2>of this. It isn't about Caitlyn Clark. I'm sorry. It

0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:16.440
<v Speaker 2>isn't about Sophie Cunningham or Caitlyn Clark. It's about the

0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:19.440
<v Speaker 2>media that covers the WNBA and the coaches within the

0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:24.320
<v Speaker 2>WNBA who don't care about women. They are bigots and

0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:26.759
<v Speaker 2>they are proud of it, and they are desperate to

0:47:26.840 --> 0:47:31.000
<v Speaker 2>see women be demoralized and moved out. This is the

0:47:31.120 --> 0:47:36.960
<v Speaker 2>coach of the Golden State Valkyries. Her name is Natalie Nicossi,

0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:41.839
<v Speaker 2>and she is asked a basic question.

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 8>Very again in the regular season, but coming out of

0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:47.719
<v Speaker 8>the break, one of the big news stories has been

0:47:47.800 --> 0:47:53.279
<v Speaker 8>Sophie Cunningham and the protests for her and protests against her,

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:56.520
<v Speaker 8>and you know, they had a national televised game today

0:47:56.800 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 8>and Cheryl, you know, Worris shirt and it's just a

0:48:00.480 --> 0:48:02.719
<v Speaker 8>I'm wondering, just what do you think about it? Do

0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:04.839
<v Speaker 8>you do you think that's good for the league? Does

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 8>it does it detract from the basketball?

0:48:07.360 --> 0:48:07.480
<v Speaker 4>Is it?

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Is it just noise?

0:48:09.200 --> 0:48:10.560
<v Speaker 8>I'm just wondering what your opinion is.

0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:16.440
<v Speaker 4>I think thank you for that question. I think just

0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:22.880
<v Speaker 4>in terms of how I'm seeing it is if I

0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:26.800
<v Speaker 4>could answer, It's like for me, sports, sports is about belonging.

0:48:28.040 --> 0:48:32.239
<v Speaker 4>It's about inclusivity. It's about allowing everyone to be their

0:48:32.280 --> 0:48:35.880
<v Speaker 4>authentic self. You know, I'm big on that, just because

0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:40.360
<v Speaker 4>I have been criticized for my height, for my ethnicity.

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.920
<v Speaker 4>I've been in those you shouldn't belong here many times,

0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:48.799
<v Speaker 4>and for me, I don't want that space, especially Golden State,

0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:50.360
<v Speaker 4>to ever feel like that.

0:48:53.600 --> 0:48:57.280
<v Speaker 2>And that is a broken league and a broken coach.

0:48:57.920 --> 0:49:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I would tell her directly what an absolutely surreal argument

0:49:04.280 --> 0:49:09.640
<v Speaker 2>sports is about belonging. I didn't say that somebody who

0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:16.319
<v Speaker 2>thought they were a woman couldn't play basketball. Go play basketball,

0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:21.040
<v Speaker 2>you just can't play organize against other women if you

0:49:21.080 --> 0:49:22.759
<v Speaker 2>want to play in a league that does that, go

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:26.000
<v Speaker 2>do that. But if you want to tell women they

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:30.799
<v Speaker 2>have to take a back seat to men, first of all,

0:49:31.080 --> 0:49:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what kind of feminism that is. Secondly,

0:49:34.080 --> 0:49:40.120
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, that's bigoted. That's ugly. But since your ideology

0:49:40.200 --> 0:49:44.200
<v Speaker 2>comes before your humanity, you lost all sense of rationality.

0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:50.360
<v Speaker 2>You can't even stand up for you. Look at me.

0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:52.600
<v Speaker 2>They came after me because of my ethnicity. I don't

0:49:52.600 --> 0:49:54.319
<v Speaker 2>even know what that's supposed to me. And I wasn't

0:49:54.360 --> 0:49:56.759
<v Speaker 2>tall enough, this and that. And now you're saying that

0:49:56.960 --> 0:50:01.520
<v Speaker 2>other girls should have to sit down because well they're girls.

0:50:03.360 --> 0:50:05.959
<v Speaker 2>You're saying to me, Tony, this conversation isn't making sense.

0:50:06.040 --> 0:50:08.200
<v Speaker 2>And I'll say to you, trying to make sense of

0:50:08.239 --> 0:50:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the left's argument is madness. Let me give you the

0:50:11.280 --> 0:50:15.160
<v Speaker 2>baseline of all of their arguments. They were told that

0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:17.600
<v Speaker 2>if they don't accept the fact that men can be women,

0:50:18.120 --> 0:50:22.160
<v Speaker 2>they will be excommunicated. And they simply can't get excommunicated,

0:50:22.440 --> 0:50:24.320
<v Speaker 2>so they have no way of explaining how it is

0:50:24.400 --> 0:50:27.480
<v Speaker 2>they really feel. They just simply do what they are

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:34.040
<v Speaker 2>told so they get to stay in the fold. The

0:50:34.280 --> 0:50:40.800
<v Speaker 2>WNBA is telling you on every level. We are a

0:50:40.920 --> 0:50:43.920
<v Speaker 2>league for black women and gay women, and that's it,

0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:49.560
<v Speaker 2>and that if anything should come around questioning that, we

0:50:49.680 --> 0:50:52.200
<v Speaker 2>will go to further and further extremes to prove it,

0:50:53.200 --> 0:50:58.040
<v Speaker 2>and we will give every nonsense answer, literally no sense,

0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:06.759
<v Speaker 2>to try and get out of the conversation. Sports is

0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:12.279
<v Speaker 2>about belonging. Well, sometimes the guy who isn't good enough

0:51:12.320 --> 0:51:14.120
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make the team. He wants to belong but he

0:51:14.200 --> 0:51:18.520
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make the team. I thought it was about winning,

0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:29.560
<v Speaker 2>so I thought a lot of it was about Sophie

0:51:29.560 --> 0:51:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Cunningham said absolutely nothing wrong. But the WNBA's response is

0:51:37.120 --> 0:51:43.640
<v Speaker 2>outrageously wrong. But maybe this is what we need. Maybe

0:51:43.680 --> 0:51:49.440
<v Speaker 2>this is what we need. Maybe what we need is

0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:52.239
<v Speaker 2>for them to be able to out themselves completely so

0:51:52.400 --> 0:51:56.440
<v Speaker 2>we know what it is we're dealing with. Now what

0:51:56.480 --> 0:51:58.439
<v Speaker 2>does it mean for the WNBA. I don't know, because

0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:00.200
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't look to me like the NBA's are going

0:52:00.239 --> 0:52:02.839
<v Speaker 2>to change the league. It doesn't look like they're going

0:52:02.920 --> 0:52:10.160
<v Speaker 2>to do anything except continue this welfare project. Our job,

0:52:12.040 --> 0:52:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I think, is to ask ourselves what this is talking

0:52:14.640 --> 0:52:17.320
<v Speaker 2>to or doing to us via culture, and how do

0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:21.600
<v Speaker 2>we make changes from there? Because right now they're a

0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:24.400
<v Speaker 2>little girl saying thank you, Sophie Cunningham for standing up

0:52:24.480 --> 0:52:27.560
<v Speaker 2>for us. And then they are the coaches saying, how

0:52:27.680 --> 0:52:31.759
<v Speaker 2>dare you stand up for girls? I have a couple

0:52:31.800 --> 0:52:34.319
<v Speaker 2>of theories of where this can go. I'll get into

0:52:34.360 --> 0:52:36.960
<v Speaker 2>those in the days ahead. Keep it here. I'm Tony

0:52:37.000 --> 0:52:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Katz and this is Tony Katz today. So as I

0:52:41.440 --> 0:52:45.399
<v Speaker 2>discussed earlier, maybe you missed it, I believe that Todd

0:52:45.440 --> 0:52:49.760
<v Speaker 2>blanche will be confirmed as Attorney General. Tony Katz, Tony

0:52:49.840 --> 0:52:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Katz today an absolute pleasure. The word on the street

0:52:54.400 --> 0:52:58.680
<v Speaker 2>was that they were trying to hold up his nomination.

0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Todd Blanche in from Attorney General acting Attorney General in

0:53:02.360 --> 0:53:07.640
<v Speaker 2>thestead of Pam BONDI, who President Trump dismissed, if you will,

0:53:09.120 --> 0:53:11.440
<v Speaker 2>And it was being held up by Tom Tillis in

0:53:11.440 --> 0:53:14.800
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina, John Corner of Texas, both Republicans. Why the

0:53:14.920 --> 0:53:19.000
<v Speaker 2>weaponization fund? This one point seven seven six billion dollars

0:53:19.560 --> 0:53:24.279
<v Speaker 2>that could be doled out to people who who were

0:53:24.360 --> 0:53:29.040
<v Speaker 2>well abused by our government on January sixth, Some people

0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:31.239
<v Speaker 2>are right fully in jail, some people engaged in act

0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:34.200
<v Speaker 2>of violence, many people were invited in did nothing wrong,

0:53:34.320 --> 0:53:37.439
<v Speaker 2>got prosecuted, had to squeeze, but on spend time in jail.

0:53:37.480 --> 0:53:41.200
<v Speaker 2>They did nothing wrong. Nothing be better if we were

0:53:41.239 --> 0:53:44.200
<v Speaker 2>all honest about that. They can sue their government. As

0:53:44.200 --> 0:53:46.759
<v Speaker 2>far as I'm concerned, this fund was supposedly a place

0:53:46.760 --> 0:53:50.480
<v Speaker 2>where they can get dollars for, you know, in lawsuits

0:53:50.520 --> 0:53:54.080
<v Speaker 2>and for the abuse that they suffered. The feeling was

0:53:54.160 --> 0:53:56.440
<v Speaker 2>that could be misused. And I agree with that feeling.

0:53:56.960 --> 0:53:58.440
<v Speaker 2>And so Republicans have said, We're not going to be

0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:01.680
<v Speaker 2>a part of this. I'm not going to move forward

0:54:01.719 --> 0:54:03.759
<v Speaker 2>on this. As a matter of fact, we won't go

0:54:03.960 --> 0:54:07.279
<v Speaker 2>forward with anything moving your nominees out of committee if

0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:12.400
<v Speaker 2>this is still there. It was on the table and

0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Trump was threatening it again, do this or I'll do that,

0:54:16.080 --> 0:54:20.000
<v Speaker 2>and the Republicans, specifically Cornyn and Tillis, no fans of Trump,

0:54:20.160 --> 0:54:26.360
<v Speaker 2>said well no, no, no, no. So Todd Blanche yesterday

0:54:27.600 --> 0:54:31.240
<v Speaker 2>said that the weaponization Fund is done, it doesn't exist anymore, gone,

0:54:32.520 --> 0:54:37.640
<v Speaker 2>completely gone. And now we're hearing that both Tillis and

0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Cornyn will release their hold and he will get through committee.

0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:46.800
<v Speaker 2>And there is really no reason, none, that Todd Blanche

0:54:46.880 --> 0:54:50.359
<v Speaker 2>is not confirmed to be the next Attorney general. Said

0:54:50.480 --> 0:54:57.440
<v Speaker 2>more clearly, if Merrick Garland can get confirmed, if Loretta

0:54:57.520 --> 0:55:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Lynch can get confirmed, can get confirmed. There's no argument.

0:55:03.920 --> 0:55:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Just that easy. I've got three more things coming up.

0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:06.480

0:55:06.880 --> 0:55:15.960

0:55:32.400 --> 0:55:35.439
<v Speaker 2>more things. These are stories that should be front page news,

0:55:35.960 --> 0:55:38.160
<v Speaker 2>but because of all the things happening on the front pages,

0:55:38.320 --> 0:55:40.759
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make the front page. I try to bring it

0:55:41.040 --> 0:55:45.400
<v Speaker 2>to you. Of course, we've got the President saying that

0:55:45.560 --> 0:55:48.200
<v Speaker 2>there will be no big attack on a RAN because

0:55:48.280 --> 0:55:51.319
<v Speaker 2>the neighbors begged us not to. But we've got a deal.

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Look at the deal. We have got a deal, and

0:55:55.280 --> 0:55:58.759
<v Speaker 2>that deal is going to open the street. If you

0:55:58.840 --> 0:56:03.040
<v Speaker 2>say some if you tell me it's going to open

0:56:03.080 --> 0:56:08.879
<v Speaker 2>the straight of hormones, I'll believe you, except I don't

0:56:10.040 --> 0:56:12.160
<v Speaker 2>believe it because I don't know who you have a

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:16.520
<v Speaker 2>deal with West Texas Crude at this moment is eighty dollars.

0:56:17.040 --> 0:56:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Brent Crude is eighty three. Who knows where it's going

0:56:19.040 --> 0:56:23.040
<v Speaker 2>to close, but it was down in the seventh and

0:56:23.080 --> 0:56:26.879
<v Speaker 2>the upper seventies, so it's crept up a little. Let's

0:56:26.880 --> 0:56:29.160
<v Speaker 2>see it open straight and lots of oil flowing through.

0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:32.279
<v Speaker 2>So that's the top line story. And then of course

0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:36.880
<v Speaker 2>there's is Sophie Cunningham and Saturday and I My problem

0:56:37.040 --> 0:56:39.120
<v Speaker 2>is is that when talking about that story, there's so

0:56:39.400 --> 0:56:42.800
<v Speaker 2>much and so many pieces. I'm trying to bring it

0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:47.680
<v Speaker 2>down to where I think is the base crux, and

0:56:48.760 --> 0:56:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the only thing I can come to is for the WNBA,

0:56:54.200 --> 0:57:01.359
<v Speaker 2>the product is inconsequential, the ideology is everything. There comes

0:57:01.360 --> 0:57:03.120
<v Speaker 2>a moment where one has to ask, do they view

0:57:03.200 --> 0:57:06.360
<v Speaker 2>this as a jobs program? What the hell are we

0:57:06.440 --> 0:57:09.640
<v Speaker 2>looking at here? But we'll get to that in the

0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:13.200
<v Speaker 2>days of head. Then, of course you've got the Morocco

0:57:13.320 --> 0:57:16.720
<v Speaker 2>story where you all of a sudden had sixty thousand

0:57:16.840 --> 0:57:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Moroccans coming into this Spanish city state. Seventy four people died,

0:57:24.800 --> 0:57:28.720
<v Speaker 2>many of them drowned as they swam over. And then

0:57:28.800 --> 0:57:33.000
<v Speaker 2>of course there was violence that was engaged people were attacked.

0:57:34.120 --> 0:57:36.880
<v Speaker 2>How did this happen? Well, if I listened to Thomas Massey,

0:57:36.960 --> 0:57:42.880
<v Speaker 2>which I do not, well, it's because the Republicans passed

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:45.480
<v Speaker 2>a bill that green lighted the transfer of Spanish territory

0:57:45.520 --> 0:57:49.600
<v Speaker 2>to Morocco. That is, that's not what happened. That is

0:57:49.640 --> 0:57:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a flat out lie from connorsman Thomas Massey. It's a

0:57:56.200 --> 0:58:03.800
<v Speaker 2>committee report. The committee report discussed this idea. The House

0:58:03.920 --> 0:58:07.080
<v Speaker 2>passed nothing. The committee report has no force of law.

0:58:07.360 --> 0:58:10.360
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't show up anywhere in the legislation that was

0:58:10.680 --> 0:58:14.760
<v Speaker 2>eventually passed by the House, and carvers with massive you

0:58:14.840 --> 0:58:17.360
<v Speaker 2>vote to know because you won't note everything. It's what

0:58:17.480 --> 0:58:21.480
<v Speaker 2>you do, it's who you are. Part of your problem.

0:58:23.640 --> 0:58:24.280
<v Speaker 6>So this.

0:58:26.000 --> 0:58:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Flot of people, which according to sources, the vast majority

0:58:29.440 --> 0:58:33.120
<v Speaker 2>of been returned to Morocco, understand that this area that

0:58:33.280 --> 0:58:36.160
<v Speaker 2>is controlled by Spain is actually on the African continent.

0:58:37.160 --> 0:58:40.160
<v Speaker 2>It's on the other side of the med Spain is

0:58:40.200 --> 0:58:43.600
<v Speaker 2>to the north, the Med being the Mediterranean. I just

0:58:43.680 --> 0:58:47.240
<v Speaker 2>want it to sound very continental when I said it, right,

0:58:48.040 --> 0:58:50.040
<v Speaker 2>If you're going to talk things like the med just

0:58:50.120 --> 0:58:53.240
<v Speaker 2>picture whoever's talking wearing a speedo and then you're like, oh,

0:58:53.600 --> 0:58:57.040
<v Speaker 2>that's very European continental of you. I'm on the med

0:59:00.240 --> 0:59:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Me and Espuedo. I say, reserve some time this evening

0:59:03.600 --> 0:59:08.520
<v Speaker 2>and enjoy yourself. So no, the United States did not

0:59:09.000 --> 0:59:12.440
<v Speaker 2>trans greenlight the transfer a Spanish territory to Morocco. As

0:59:12.520 --> 0:59:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Thomas Massey said, you did have this invasion. You did

0:59:16.480 --> 0:59:20.800
<v Speaker 2>have people engaged in violence, and these people are looking

0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:23.720
<v Speaker 2>for a better life. They look for a better life,

0:59:24.040 --> 0:59:28.280
<v Speaker 2>and they get in to this Spanish enclave and they

0:59:28.360 --> 0:59:30.880
<v Speaker 2>go about attacking people and stabbing people in the streets.

0:59:32.360 --> 0:59:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not people you want in your country. Spain had

0:59:35.160 --> 0:59:40.800
<v Speaker 2>to mobilize, it's military to make things, you know, calm.

0:59:43.640 --> 0:59:49.520
<v Speaker 2>The second story came from the good people over there

0:59:49.560 --> 0:59:53.840
<v Speaker 2>at Fox. They had on Deborah Burks. Remember her. She

0:59:54.200 --> 0:59:57.960
<v Speaker 2>was there during the days of COVID, and she is

0:59:58.040 --> 1:00:01.920
<v Speaker 2>telling us what we already knew, which is everything became

1:00:02.040 --> 1:00:04.560
<v Speaker 2>political very very quickly.

1:00:05.080 --> 1:00:08.400
<v Speaker 9>If you get on tests, instead of quarantining people who

1:00:08.440 --> 1:00:10.800
<v Speaker 9>are exposed, you just only tell the people who are

1:00:10.840 --> 1:00:14.720
<v Speaker 9>infected to stay home. That is a very different approach.

1:00:14.800 --> 1:00:18.440
<v Speaker 9>It worked fabulously in universities. It's why we were able

1:00:18.520 --> 1:00:21.000
<v Speaker 9>to keep them open. And Secretary of DeVos was working

1:00:21.080 --> 1:00:25.040
<v Speaker 9>on keeping K through twelve open. There were solutions, but

1:00:25.160 --> 1:00:27.440
<v Speaker 9>it became very political, and we all have to be

1:00:27.480 --> 1:00:31.200
<v Speaker 9>aware because it was a presidential election year, it was

1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:35.000
<v Speaker 9>really important for bluestates to show that they were taking

1:00:35.080 --> 1:00:36.320
<v Speaker 9>it very seriously.

1:00:36.520 --> 1:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>And they overclosed. We know, we know. Why didn't anybody

1:00:46.080 --> 1:00:49.800
<v Speaker 2>say it that, I mean, we did, but why weren't

1:00:49.840 --> 1:00:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you saying it then? Why weren't you getting up there

1:00:52.240 --> 1:00:58.560
<v Speaker 2>and saying, sorry, doctor Fauci, we overclosed. But understand that

1:00:58.640 --> 1:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>if given the opportunity, they will do it again. They

1:01:03.000 --> 1:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>will absolutely overclose again. What makes me say such a thing?

1:01:08.280 --> 1:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I am so glad you asked. This is Mehdi Hassan,

1:01:18.720 --> 1:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>the ridiculous, ridiculous progressive. Mehdi Hassan was responding to a

1:01:30.040 --> 1:01:34.240
<v Speaker 2>back and forth that took place on CNN. It was

1:01:34.280 --> 1:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a back and forth between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The

1:01:40.320 --> 1:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Dana Bash, host

1:01:46.080 --> 1:01:53.400
<v Speaker 2>on CNN. And this was about vaccines. This was kind

1:01:53.440 --> 1:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>of fascinating in its presentation and everything should get fact checked.

1:01:58.760 --> 1:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>But check this out genetic situation. Let me say this first.

1:02:03.840 --> 1:02:05.920
<v Speaker 10>We're doing all those things and as one of the

1:02:06.000 --> 1:02:08.880
<v Speaker 10>ways that we found silent all there's seventy three studies

1:02:08.960 --> 1:02:13.440
<v Speaker 10>out there and like tylo explosure during later pregnancy and

1:02:13.600 --> 1:02:15.000
<v Speaker 10>during the parentatal period.

1:02:15.120 --> 1:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Who who? Just mindset?

1:02:18.600 --> 1:02:23.080
<v Speaker 10>But you are wrong when you say that this issue

1:02:23.280 --> 1:02:26.720
<v Speaker 10>has been studied. It has been studying, and you're rolling

1:02:26.760 --> 1:02:27.160
<v Speaker 10>your eyes.

1:02:27.680 --> 1:02:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I I don't want I don't want to have you

1:02:30.400 --> 1:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>use our air to say this.

1:02:31.840 --> 1:02:34.800
<v Speaker 11>There have been more than forty studies involving five point

1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:38.240
<v Speaker 11>six million people to conclude there is no link between

1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:41.360
<v Speaker 11>vaccines and autism. This is the head of the Committee

1:02:41.480 --> 1:02:45.360
<v Speaker 11>of Infectious Diseases for the American Academy of pell Let.

1:02:45.280 --> 1:02:48.920
<v Speaker 12>Me tell you what's the Institute of Medicine now before

1:02:49.000 --> 1:02:56.120
<v Speaker 12>we go on, I believe in the open dialogue, the idea.

1:02:55.880 --> 1:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>That Dana Bash is a Dana Bash over there at

1:02:58.200 --> 1:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>CNN can say, I don't want you to use our

1:03:00.720 --> 1:03:03.200
<v Speaker 2>airwaves for this. This is the Secretary of Health and

1:03:03.280 --> 1:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Human Services to debate him on the subject your airwaves.

1:03:10.680 --> 1:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>That's a pretty remarkable thing. Now, if you came on

1:03:14.880 --> 1:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>to discuss this and he wants to discuss something else,

1:03:17.440 --> 1:03:19.480
<v Speaker 2>you could say, I'm sorry, we're going to focus on

1:03:19.560 --> 1:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>this subject. Right here. We're having a debate on the subject.

1:03:23.960 --> 1:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>You bring up data I don't like, so therefore you're

1:03:26.200 --> 1:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>not allowed to say it is nuts. But she brings

1:03:31.680 --> 1:03:38.200
<v Speaker 2>up this piece. Here's what everybody has said about vaccines

1:03:38.240 --> 1:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>and autism, and here comes Secretary Kennedy.

1:03:42.280 --> 1:03:46.560
<v Speaker 10>It says, which is the National Academy of Sciences, which

1:03:46.640 --> 1:03:49.960
<v Speaker 10>is the ultimate arbiter on vaccine safety, which it does

1:03:50.080 --> 1:03:53.760
<v Speaker 10>not have an interest in this debate. It says, none

1:03:54.080 --> 1:03:58.280
<v Speaker 10>of the aid vaccine letter administered during the first six

1:03:58.400 --> 1:04:02.680
<v Speaker 10>months of life, I have ever studies for a relationship

1:04:02.760 --> 1:04:03.320
<v Speaker 10>to autism.

1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>We have found two.

1:04:04.520 --> 1:04:08.960
<v Speaker 10>Studies on the D vaccine I've showed that it does

1:04:09.160 --> 1:04:13.920
<v Speaker 10>cause autism, and one on the appatitis the vaccine and

1:04:14.040 --> 1:04:17.720
<v Speaker 10>again suggests that it does cause autism. The Institute of

1:04:17.760 --> 1:04:20.920
<v Speaker 10>Medicine dismissed those two studies because they were based on

1:04:21.120 --> 1:04:25.439
<v Speaker 10>CDC's database. The studies that you're referring to are all

1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:30.240
<v Speaker 10>from one vaccine in MMR vaccine, or one ingredients I'm arazillus.

1:04:31.840 --> 1:04:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, now let's talk about that. Are you telling me

1:04:34.960 --> 1:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that forty studies are based on one ingredient in an

1:04:37.400 --> 1:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>MMR vaccine, Mom's misuzubella. That's what all the studies are.

1:04:43.040 --> 1:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Now someone can say me, no, Tony, he's got it

1:04:44.840 --> 1:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>wrong here, here, and here. But that only happens if

1:04:47.040 --> 1:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>you have the debate open for all of us to hear.

1:04:53.480 --> 1:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>It's the only way this works. And for the media

1:04:58.800 --> 1:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>who cannot understand this, cannot comprehend this. The institutions lied

1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to us because the institution said six feet apart, The

1:05:07.640 --> 1:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>institution said you couldn't see grandma when she was dying.

1:05:10.680 --> 1:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>The institution said if you didn't get vaccinated, you were

1:05:13.680 --> 1:05:17.439
<v Speaker 2>going to kill grandma. And no part of that was true.

1:05:18.400 --> 1:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>So Politico reports on this. RFK Junior tells CNN host

1:05:23.800 --> 1:05:31.200
<v Speaker 2>that constitutional rights take priority over public health. Correct, accurate,

1:05:31.800 --> 1:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>because we saw, as we heard from doctor Burkes, they

1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>allowed public health to have priority over the Constitution. Why

1:05:38.120 --> 1:05:40.680
<v Speaker 2>in the world would my rights be taken away. My

1:05:40.840 --> 1:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>rights exist whether there's a pandemic or not. Anybody who

1:05:44.000 --> 1:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>thinks otherwise is out of their mind. I said this

1:05:48.120 --> 1:05:54.520
<v Speaker 2>quite clearly. Then you cannot destroy society to to save society.

1:05:55.600 --> 1:06:00.880
<v Speaker 2>The Constitution remains. When they were there and parking lots

1:06:00.920 --> 1:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>of churches, taking down license plate numbers, every cop who

1:06:04.280 --> 1:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>did that should be fired, lose their pension. I say,

1:06:07.280 --> 1:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>do seventeen years in jail, take down license plate numbers.

1:06:10.800 --> 1:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>If people go to church. Kiss off. Mehdi Hassan, the

1:06:16.600 --> 1:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>leftist comes out and says, based on this RFK Junior

1:06:22.480 --> 1:06:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Hotel's CNN host, that constitutional rights take priority over public health.

1:06:26.600 --> 1:06:32.400
<v Speaker 2>He writes, we're screwed in the next pandemic. Screwed that

1:06:32.600 --> 1:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>is the leftist Mehdi Hassan, the Islamist supporter, Mehdi Hassan

1:06:38.760 --> 1:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>my take, saying that the constitution should come second or third.

1:06:44.560 --> 1:06:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Some doctor says you can't leave your house. You can't

1:06:46.360 --> 1:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>leave your house. Some doctor says your job is not essential,

1:06:49.040 --> 1:06:53.600
<v Speaker 2>you don't get to work. He believes this, he wants this.

1:06:54.280 --> 1:06:57.440
<v Speaker 2>The left has learned nothing from COVID. They are desperate

1:06:57.560 --> 1:07:04.880
<v Speaker 2>for the control. They want it more than oxygen. They

1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>want it more than anything, more than anything. You can't

1:07:12.120 --> 1:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>let these people have power. This is all they want.

1:07:17.480 --> 1:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>How can they have dominion over you? It is everything

1:07:21.800 --> 1:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>they desire. Power control. Not only is that happening in

1:07:27.160 --> 1:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>our politics, it's happening with these data brokers. Because there

1:07:30.880 --> 1:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>are thousands of places on the Internet that have got

1:07:32.840 --> 1:07:34.680
<v Speaker 2>to file with your name on it also they can

1:07:34.840 --> 1:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>have power. They get your address, and they get your

1:07:37.760 --> 1:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>email address, they get your cell phone number, and they

1:07:39.640 --> 1:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>can find out your medical conditions and your age, your

1:07:42.480 --> 1:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>voting record, your kids' names, that's right, your kids' names,

1:07:46.960 --> 1:07:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and they create a file and anyone with a credit

1:07:48.920 --> 1:07:51.560
<v Speaker 2>card gets to buy the file. It's part of this

1:07:51.760 --> 1:07:55.520
<v Speaker 2>data broker world, multi billion dollar industry, where your file

1:07:55.560 --> 1:07:58.200
<v Speaker 2>gets collected, it gets packaged, you get sold. It's all legal,

1:07:59.200 --> 1:08:03.400
<v Speaker 2>which is crazy. It's all legal, and someone paid for

1:08:03.560 --> 1:08:06.960
<v Speaker 2>your file. And last year Americans lost over twenty billion

1:08:07.000 --> 1:08:12.160
<v Speaker 2>dollars to this fraud. The scammers are not lucky. They're prepared,

1:08:12.560 --> 1:08:14.280
<v Speaker 2>which is why you have to get prepared and go

1:08:14.400 --> 1:08:18.840
<v Speaker 2>within cogny I ncog n I in cognity dot com,

1:08:19.000 --> 1:08:22.040
<v Speaker 2>going broker by broker, forcing each one to delete your

1:08:22.200 --> 1:08:24.439
<v Speaker 2>file and those opt out forms that they bury and

1:08:24.560 --> 1:08:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Cogni finds those and when your data tries to creep

1:08:27.120 --> 1:08:29.479
<v Speaker 2>back and Cognity wipes it again. I actually got an

1:08:29.479 --> 1:08:32.439
<v Speaker 2>email from Incognity saying, hey, we found a lot of files.

1:08:32.520 --> 1:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>We need to make sure which ones are you. That's right,

1:08:35.240 --> 1:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>they're telling me I have to go through that and

1:08:37.479 --> 1:08:39.479
<v Speaker 2>make sure I know who's who, which is a pretty

1:08:39.479 --> 1:08:42.800
<v Speaker 2>easy process when you've gotten Cognity doing all of the

1:08:42.960 --> 1:08:46.799

<v Speaker 2>you didn't get enough of Secretary Kennedy explaining to data

1:09:14.280 --> 1:09:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Bash or Dana Bash over that CNN how life is.

1:09:18.320 --> 1:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>This was the other part of the exchange, and it's

1:09:22.240 --> 1:09:32.160
<v Speaker 2>just it's excellent. It is the Secretary saying that you

1:09:32.320 --> 1:09:36.160
<v Speaker 2>don't get it aside what gets debated creating this.

1:09:36.560 --> 1:09:39.400
<v Speaker 10>Of course you want know you know how to do

1:09:40.320 --> 1:09:42.479
<v Speaker 10>is repeat things that people told you and to say

1:09:42.520 --> 1:09:46.400
<v Speaker 10>trust the experts. That's what you during during COVID. Now

1:09:46.479 --> 1:09:49.120
<v Speaker 10>we know that Anley Fauci, who was the expert, was

1:09:49.280 --> 1:09:53.280
<v Speaker 10>lying about everything about mass about the social distancing, about

1:09:53.960 --> 1:09:58.320
<v Speaker 10>natural immunity, about the transmission from the vaccine, about the

1:09:58.479 --> 1:10:01.799
<v Speaker 10>source of COVID. He was lying, and you were punishing

1:10:01.920 --> 1:10:05.439
<v Speaker 10>people for not trusting the experts, and now you're rolling

1:10:05.479 --> 1:10:08.680
<v Speaker 10>out the experts ages to talk about something that you

1:10:08.920 --> 1:10:10.479
<v Speaker 10>have no personal knowledge of.

1:10:10.680 --> 1:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well guess what that is my job. If your

1:10:16.880 --> 1:10:20.439
<v Speaker 2>job is to push back, I would agree. If you

1:10:20.600 --> 1:10:23.840
<v Speaker 2>don't have the data, that's a problem. If you are

1:10:24.000 --> 1:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>going to just believe the so called experts after they

1:10:27.240 --> 1:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>already lied to you, that's the story these people are.

1:10:37.280 --> 1:10:44.160
<v Speaker 2>They're impossible, absolutely impossible. Does she not understand that she's

1:10:44.280 --> 1:10:47.559
<v Speaker 2>not trusted? Does she not understand that all of CNN

1:10:48.280 --> 1:10:51.960
<v Speaker 2>is untrustworthy? I had a while where I didn't do

1:10:52.080 --> 1:10:54.400
<v Speaker 2>anything CNN related, and then I had a while where

1:10:54.439 --> 1:10:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I did, and then I didn't. And I'm trying to

1:10:56.760 --> 1:10:58.719
<v Speaker 2>see is there anything good coming from there? The answer

1:10:58.840 --> 1:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>is no, it's not a news network.

1:11:05.479 --> 1:11:05.639
<v Speaker 13>Now.

1:11:06.200 --> 1:11:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Do I think that people like Sexuary Kennedy should follow

1:11:10.160 --> 1:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>some of my words and why would you go on

1:11:12.120 --> 1:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>there and give them any ratings? Yes, but I also

1:11:15.400 --> 1:11:21.040
<v Speaker 2>think that stuff like this is equally It's important our

1:11:21.160 --> 1:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>economy and why are we bailing out Japan? We're not

1:11:24.360 --> 1:11:27.519
<v Speaker 2>actually bailing at Japan. Well, we did something I've got

1:11:27.600 --> 1:11:29.880
<v Speaker 2>doctor Matt Will to explain it. Coming up. Keep it here.

1:11:30.160 --> 1:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>This is Tony Kats today. Why from Vaal Hartland and

1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:44.559
<v Speaker 1>the Crossroads of America. It's Tony Katz today.

1:11:45.320 --> 1:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>What in the world is going on with the end?

1:11:48.000 --> 1:11:50.240
<v Speaker 2>What is going on with the Japanese economy? I mean,

1:11:50.280 --> 1:11:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were out of the stagflation? Why are

1:11:52.760 --> 1:11:56.040
<v Speaker 2>we propping it up? I'm not saying I'm opposed. I

1:11:56.120 --> 1:11:59.679
<v Speaker 2>just want to understand. Why is this Argentina all over again?

1:11:59.720 --> 1:12:03.679
<v Speaker 2>We're buying pesos. I mean, we got the money back,

1:12:03.800 --> 1:12:06.000
<v Speaker 2>so I guess all was good. But is this what

1:12:06.120 --> 1:12:08.840
<v Speaker 2>we do now? Or is this about something having to

1:12:08.920 --> 1:12:11.320
<v Speaker 2>do with China? Is this about the politics more than

1:12:11.360 --> 1:12:14.840
<v Speaker 2>it is about the money? But it is costing us money?

1:12:15.880 --> 1:12:16.280
<v Speaker 5>Or is it not?

1:12:16.479 --> 1:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>You see, that's just it. Everybody wants to say something,

1:12:19.160 --> 1:12:22.040
<v Speaker 2>but no one actually digs into what is actually going on.

1:12:22.320 --> 1:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be with you.

1:12:25.560 --> 1:12:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Just call me the digger, because that's what I'm doing.

1:12:27.320 --> 1:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Matt Will joins me. Right now, economist at the

1:12:30.200 --> 1:12:33.960
<v Speaker 2>University of Indianapolis. We're gonna get to Japan. We're gonna

1:12:34.000 --> 1:12:36.360
<v Speaker 2>talk about what's going on with the yen here. But

1:12:36.400 --> 1:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to start where I start, which is our economy.

1:12:39.680 --> 1:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>And on Friday, I was out on Friday, but happy

1:12:42.400 --> 1:12:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to be back today. And we take a look at

1:12:45.000 --> 1:12:48.920
<v Speaker 2>GDP's second quarter GDP, and it grew at a rate

1:12:48.960 --> 1:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>of one point five percent, not two point one percent

1:12:52.120 --> 1:12:55.640
<v Speaker 2>that was the first quarter one point five percent. In

1:12:55.840 --> 1:12:59.479
<v Speaker 2>all of these cases, a number means nothing unless we

1:12:59.520 --> 1:13:01.960
<v Speaker 2>can annaly why the number is what it is. So

1:13:02.680 --> 1:13:05.040
<v Speaker 2>you take a look at one point five percent. Economist

1:13:05.080 --> 1:13:09.960
<v Speaker 2>to Matt Will, what's the story. It's false. I will

1:13:10.000 --> 1:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>tell you that the number is much higher than one

1:13:12.000 --> 1:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>point five percent. And this goes back to the Keynesian

1:13:15.479 --> 1:13:18.680
<v Speaker 2>flaw and how they calculate GDP. So yeah, let's look

1:13:18.680 --> 1:13:20.800
<v Speaker 2>at the headline one point five. By the way, the

1:13:20.960 --> 1:13:23.760
<v Speaker 2>market wasn't phase because the market knows what I know.

1:13:24.520 --> 1:13:25.040
<v Speaker 2>First of all.

1:13:25.120 --> 1:13:27.599
<v Speaker 14>One of the reasons it was only one point five

1:13:27.840 --> 1:13:30.919
<v Speaker 14>is because the government portion of the GDP was reduced.

1:13:31.960 --> 1:13:34.640
<v Speaker 14>That's a good thing. You and I, everyone listening to

1:13:34.720 --> 1:13:38.040
<v Speaker 14>the show knows that the smaller government is better. So

1:13:38.200 --> 1:13:42.080
<v Speaker 14>that pulled down GDP. Also, imports pulled it down one

1:13:42.120 --> 1:13:46.080
<v Speaker 14>and a half percent, again, a huge flaw with the

1:13:46.160 --> 1:13:49.479
<v Speaker 14>GDP formula is that it punishes the country for imports,

1:13:49.800 --> 1:13:53.720
<v Speaker 14>but it ignores foreign direct investment. Because those dollars that

1:13:53.840 --> 1:13:56.960
<v Speaker 14>we spend to buy stuff from overseas flows back into

1:13:57.040 --> 1:13:59.880
<v Speaker 14>the United States. Exports boosted it.

1:14:00.080 --> 1:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I have, that's good.

1:14:01.320 --> 1:14:06.000
<v Speaker 14>Consumption up half two points two percent. Investments were up.

1:14:06.320 --> 1:14:09.840
<v Speaker 14>In fact, fixed investments you know, equipment and buildings and

1:14:09.840 --> 1:14:12.360
<v Speaker 14>stuff up one and a half percent. I'm telling you

1:14:12.760 --> 1:14:15.759
<v Speaker 14>this is this is good underneath the hood. Accept accept

1:14:16.840 --> 1:14:20.280
<v Speaker 14>the eyeword. Inflation is still over five percent in the life.

1:14:20.720 --> 1:14:22.800
<v Speaker 14>Let's hold off a little bit and let's get back

1:14:22.840 --> 1:14:23.080
<v Speaker 14>to this.

1:14:23.320 --> 1:14:26.760
<v Speaker 2>The argument is that the GDP number of one point

1:14:26.840 --> 1:14:32.120
<v Speaker 2>five percent is false because where to schedule a discussion

1:14:32.320 --> 1:14:36.439
<v Speaker 2>of government is about government spend or government lack of spend.

1:14:37.080 --> 1:14:42.000
<v Speaker 14>Government growth. The growth of government reduces GDP, I mean

1:14:42.160 --> 1:14:46.840
<v Speaker 14>increases GDP. So when the government is constrained, that causes

1:14:46.880 --> 1:14:49.479
<v Speaker 14>a GDP to go down. And that's what this report shows.

1:14:49.520 --> 1:14:53.479
<v Speaker 14>It shows less. You know, we call real versus you know,

1:14:53.640 --> 1:14:58.599
<v Speaker 14>nominal dollars. So inflation adjusted government spend and the economy,

1:14:59.360 --> 1:15:01.120
<v Speaker 14>it decreased zero point one four percent.

1:15:01.320 --> 1:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>So when the government is spending when government is spending.

1:15:04.240 --> 1:15:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Talking to doctor Mattwill, economist at the University of Indianapolis,

1:15:07.680 --> 1:15:11.640
<v Speaker 2>when the government is spending, we consider that growth. In

1:15:11.720 --> 1:15:14.360
<v Speaker 2>the United States, when you talk about GDP gross domestic product,

1:15:14.439 --> 1:15:18.360
<v Speaker 2>government spending is seen as as growths. So when the

1:15:18.400 --> 1:15:21.720
<v Speaker 2>government is going on wild spending spreeze, those people who

1:15:21.800 --> 1:15:24.679
<v Speaker 2>engage the spending can look at the GDP it say see,

1:15:24.760 --> 1:15:25.800
<v Speaker 2>look how much we're growing.

1:15:26.680 --> 1:15:29.599
<v Speaker 14>And that's what happened under Biden. That was his primary source.

1:15:29.760 --> 1:15:32.759
<v Speaker 14>When we looked at the microscopic parts of GDP under Biden,

1:15:33.040 --> 1:15:35.240
<v Speaker 14>we saw that almost all the growth in the economy

1:15:35.360 --> 1:15:38.519
<v Speaker 14>was coming from government. Growth under Trump, it's a completely

1:15:38.600 --> 1:15:41.040
<v Speaker 14>different picture. Almost all of the growth is coming from

1:15:41.120 --> 1:15:45.479
<v Speaker 14>private industry. In fact, GDP is subtracting, I mean government

1:15:45.560 --> 1:15:46.920
<v Speaker 14>is subtracting from GDP.

1:15:47.520 --> 1:15:50.800
<v Speaker 2>So the formula which John Maynard Kines wrote back in the.

1:15:50.920 --> 1:15:53.360
<v Speaker 14>Forties, and by the way, at the end of his

1:15:53.479 --> 1:15:56.080
<v Speaker 14>life he actually said, you know what, it's really flawed,

1:15:56.160 --> 1:15:57.320
<v Speaker 14>but it's the best we've got.

1:15:57.680 --> 1:16:00.479
<v Speaker 2>And I would agree with him. It's very flawed, but.

1:16:00.560 --> 1:16:02.519
<v Speaker 14>It's the only thing we have at the moment. It

1:16:02.640 --> 1:16:06.600
<v Speaker 14>ignores a lot of things like import exports, foreign direct investment,

1:16:06.920 --> 1:16:09.360
<v Speaker 14>So you have to look under the hood. Not all

1:16:09.479 --> 1:16:11.679
<v Speaker 14>one point five percents are created equal.

1:16:12.240 --> 1:16:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Now let's get to the next which you talked about

1:16:14.760 --> 1:16:20.160
<v Speaker 2>investments up point five three percent, about half a percent

1:16:21.400 --> 1:16:27.479
<v Speaker 2>investments into you're talking about long lasting goods, manufacturing goods.

1:16:27.479 --> 1:16:30.519
<v Speaker 2>This is investments into my four oh one k. What

1:16:30.680 --> 1:16:33.599
<v Speaker 2>are these investments made up of. Yeah, that's an important

1:16:33.640 --> 1:16:37.799
<v Speaker 2>point that you're making. This is company investment, private corporate

1:16:37.960 --> 1:16:43.519
<v Speaker 2>investments in production, manufacturing, including services, so anything that a

1:16:43.640 --> 1:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>company is investing to expand their business. So that's we're

1:16:46.960 --> 1:16:49.640
<v Speaker 2>not talking you and I saving for retirement. This is

1:16:49.800 --> 1:16:53.519
<v Speaker 2>actual investments made by companies to grow their businesses. And

1:16:53.800 --> 1:16:55.400
<v Speaker 2>underneath that this.

1:16:55.520 --> 1:16:58.479
<v Speaker 14>Half a percent growth, one and a half percent of

1:16:58.520 --> 1:17:02.519
<v Speaker 14>the GDP was due to fixed investments. That's putting up

1:17:02.560 --> 1:17:06.960
<v Speaker 14>a facility to build some product. That is a long

1:17:07.120 --> 1:17:10.000
<v Speaker 14>term benefit. That is huge. And we didn't see that

1:17:10.160 --> 1:17:13.320
<v Speaker 14>under Biden. We've seen that under Trump because he's instituted

1:17:13.439 --> 1:17:17.960
<v Speaker 14>policies and deregulation that has encouraged this. And you know,

1:17:18.080 --> 1:17:20.599
<v Speaker 14>we talk about are those other countries around the world

1:17:20.680 --> 1:17:24.320
<v Speaker 14>investing that's not even in this number. That's foreign direct

1:17:24.400 --> 1:17:28.240
<v Speaker 14>investment which should be included, which isn't in the GDP calculation.

1:17:29.200 --> 1:17:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Talking to doctor Matt Well, economists at the University of Indianapolis,

1:17:32.680 --> 1:17:35.880
<v Speaker 2>let's keep breaking this down understanding our numbers, and one

1:17:35.960 --> 1:17:40.719
<v Speaker 2>of these is manufacturing. When it comes to the ISM report,

1:17:40.760 --> 1:17:45.679
<v Speaker 2>which is something you look to keep in high regard,

1:17:45.840 --> 1:17:50.720
<v Speaker 2>this tells us something. This matters. ISM was fifty three

1:17:50.840 --> 1:17:54.720
<v Speaker 2>point three that's of about six percent, which is the

1:17:54.920 --> 1:18:00.719
<v Speaker 2>six straight increase that we have had. That signals what wow.

1:18:02.439 --> 1:18:06.439
<v Speaker 14>It signals wow because that's the private economy. So go

1:18:06.600 --> 1:18:09.200
<v Speaker 14>back to the GDP that was plus one and a

1:18:09.240 --> 1:18:12.840
<v Speaker 14>half percent on fixed investments by companies. We have proof

1:18:13.000 --> 1:18:17.120
<v Speaker 14>it's not just bogus estimate by the government ISM Private

1:18:17.200 --> 1:18:21.240
<v Speaker 14>Industry Report. Actual companies calling in saying, hey, this is

1:18:21.320 --> 1:18:23.560
<v Speaker 14>what we're doing. So this is the six month in

1:18:23.600 --> 1:18:27.920
<v Speaker 14>a row. Inventories are up, production is up. There's these

1:18:27.960 --> 1:18:31.639
<v Speaker 14>are sub parts of the ISM report. New orders are up.

1:18:32.800 --> 1:18:36.479
<v Speaker 14>This is fantastic. It's what Trump wanted to do with

1:18:36.600 --> 1:18:39.519
<v Speaker 14>the terroriffs, but the tariffs actually delayed it. I believe

1:18:40.080 --> 1:18:43.719
<v Speaker 14>these things would have been up inventories, production, new orders

1:18:44.560 --> 1:18:47.840
<v Speaker 14>without the tariffs sooner. But the tariffs have been in

1:18:47.840 --> 1:18:50.719
<v Speaker 14>place for a long time. Now they're they're they're baked

1:18:50.760 --> 1:18:53.200
<v Speaker 14>into the economy, not in a good way in some places,

1:18:53.280 --> 1:18:56.040
<v Speaker 14>like inflation. The only thing in the ISM report that

1:18:56.200 --> 1:18:59.760
<v Speaker 14>was concerning is employment is flat. But actually, if you

1:18:59.800 --> 1:19:03.880
<v Speaker 14>can consider all the disruption with AI, flat employment right now,

1:19:04.720 --> 1:19:07.839
<v Speaker 14>that's good because it should be dropping with all the disruption.

1:19:08.280 --> 1:19:14.040
<v Speaker 14>So the growth is overcompensating for the AI disruption. There's

1:19:14.080 --> 1:19:17.439
<v Speaker 14>a lot of good things that's report, except double digit

1:19:17.560 --> 1:19:23.639
<v Speaker 14>inflation for manufacturers. That's right, double digit commodity prices, aluminum, copper,

1:19:24.560 --> 1:19:25.360
<v Speaker 14>It's not good.

1:19:26.680 --> 1:19:30.320
<v Speaker 2>This now leads into what you said where the problem is,

1:19:30.439 --> 1:19:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Where the issue is with inflation. We have seen Kevin

1:19:33.840 --> 1:19:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Walsh now Chairman of the Federal Reserve twice say we're

1:19:37.800 --> 1:19:40.800
<v Speaker 2>not changing interest rates. They are not going down. This

1:19:40.960 --> 1:19:44.360
<v Speaker 2>can't please President Trump at all, But we have been

1:19:44.840 --> 1:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I have been very very consistent. I think you have

1:19:47.040 --> 1:19:49.959
<v Speaker 2>been with me on this. I would never say otherwise.

1:19:50.439 --> 1:19:53.759
<v Speaker 2>The inflation is here. You've argued that it's baked into everything.

1:19:53.800 --> 1:19:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street is doing. What somehow is still unfathomable to

1:19:58.560 --> 1:20:02.880
<v Speaker 2>people is that we accept that this is the way

1:20:02.920 --> 1:20:06.479
<v Speaker 2>it is. We aren't. There is no aggressive push to

1:20:06.640 --> 1:20:10.280
<v Speaker 2>bring it down because we discuss policy. So where is

1:20:10.360 --> 1:20:14.559
<v Speaker 2>inflation right now and what are the competing forces? Well,

1:20:14.640 --> 1:20:16.479
<v Speaker 2>first of all, I don't agree that we've accepted it.

1:20:16.600 --> 1:20:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't, I don't do not accept inflation. And if

1:20:19.840 --> 1:20:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street is accepting it, shame on them. But they are.

1:20:22.520 --> 1:20:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm arguing that they are right. That's the point.

1:20:25.120 --> 1:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't say you and I sitting on a barstool

1:20:27.160 --> 1:20:29.559
<v Speaker 2>are happy with this. This whole thing sucks to quote

1:20:29.600 --> 1:20:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Rodney Dangerfield from Caddy Shack. But I do say that

1:20:33.360 --> 1:20:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street has absolutely accepted this. They've baked it into

1:20:36.840 --> 1:20:39.200
<v Speaker 2>the cake. We've discussed this many times. It is not

1:20:39.320 --> 1:20:41.840
<v Speaker 2>where Midwest main Street is, but it's absolutely in my

1:20:42.080 --> 1:20:44.479
<v Speaker 2>view outsider looking in where Wall Street is.

1:20:45.120 --> 1:20:47.439
<v Speaker 14>Well, let me tell you, I'm gonna I'm gonna pivot

1:20:47.479 --> 1:20:49.960
<v Speaker 14>a little bit and say, Kevin Walsh is he is

1:20:50.080 --> 1:20:52.600
<v Speaker 14>doing the right thing. He's announced he's not going to

1:20:52.680 --> 1:20:55.439
<v Speaker 14>change rates. I'm okay with that. I think the Fed

1:20:55.520 --> 1:20:57.560
<v Speaker 14>funds rate is where it should be. I think this

1:20:57.760 --> 1:21:00.599
<v Speaker 14>is a stable rate. And notice Trump didn't scream at

1:21:00.640 --> 1:21:03.759
<v Speaker 14>him about this because Wall Street's pushing him. To increase.

1:21:04.200 --> 1:21:06.200
<v Speaker 14>He even had some of his governors. Three of his

1:21:06.520 --> 1:21:11.240
<v Speaker 14>fellow governors voted to increase rates last week, but he refused.

1:21:11.640 --> 1:21:15.000
<v Speaker 14>He's playing the long game. What he's doing, and people

1:21:15.320 --> 1:21:17.760
<v Speaker 14>pay attention to this. He is reducing the amount of

1:21:17.840 --> 1:21:20.680
<v Speaker 14>information flow out of the Fed. He set up a

1:21:20.800 --> 1:21:25.800
<v Speaker 14>special commission to look at the selling of assets off

1:21:25.840 --> 1:21:29.040
<v Speaker 14>the FED balance sheet. I am convinced that he's going

1:21:29.040 --> 1:21:32.920
<v Speaker 14>to slowly, behind the scenes, move this giant ship, and

1:21:33.120 --> 1:21:36.120
<v Speaker 14>he's going to convince his fellow governors once this special

1:21:36.160 --> 1:21:40.479
<v Speaker 14>commission does their work to start shedding assets from the

1:21:40.560 --> 1:21:44.160
<v Speaker 14>balance sheet, sell those assets, pull the cash out of

1:21:44.200 --> 1:21:48.200
<v Speaker 14>the economy without increasing inflation. He knows how to cut

1:21:48.280 --> 1:21:50.720
<v Speaker 14>inflation and he's going to do it the right way.

1:21:50.880 --> 1:21:53.800
<v Speaker 14>I'm confident based on what he's doing right now his

1:21:53.920 --> 1:21:57.080
<v Speaker 14>strategy that he's going to pull it off patients, and

1:21:57.160 --> 1:21:59.080
<v Speaker 14>I think even Trump has patients with him on this.

1:21:59.320 --> 1:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>But let you on this conversation of inflation in general.

1:22:02.920 --> 1:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Never mind where we are about the market accepting this.

1:22:06.840 --> 1:22:11.880
<v Speaker 2>The inflation is here. What are the competing forces that

1:22:12.080 --> 1:22:14.120
<v Speaker 2>are causing it to remain.

1:22:14.400 --> 1:22:19.840
<v Speaker 14>Well, it's still the tariffs, it's still growth of government deficits. Now,

1:22:19.960 --> 1:22:23.280
<v Speaker 14>we talked about government spending earlier, but the deficits also

1:22:23.400 --> 1:22:27.080
<v Speaker 14>contribute to this whole phenomenon because the FED is forced

1:22:27.120 --> 1:22:31.120
<v Speaker 14>to monetize the deficits, so we have to cut the deficits.

1:22:31.439 --> 1:22:33.240
<v Speaker 14>And that's where the FED is between a rock and

1:22:33.280 --> 1:22:36.120
<v Speaker 14>a hard place, because they don't control the fiscal policy.

1:22:36.640 --> 1:22:39.479
<v Speaker 14>They only control the monetary policy, so they can control

1:22:39.560 --> 1:22:42.240
<v Speaker 14>the cash in the economy, but so can the federal

1:22:42.360 --> 1:22:47.000
<v Speaker 14>government by deficit spending. And that deficit spending is really

1:22:47.240 --> 1:22:50.920
<v Speaker 14>massive at the moment, and that's a huge issue. That's

1:22:51.000 --> 1:22:55.560
<v Speaker 14>causing the sustained inflation despite the growth in the economy

1:22:55.600 --> 1:22:56.599
<v Speaker 14>in the private sector.

1:22:56.960 --> 1:22:59.880
<v Speaker 2>So that's the economy, that's the GDP. But we have

1:23:00.200 --> 1:23:03.200
<v Speaker 2>to get into the conversation about Japan and the end

1:23:03.760 --> 1:23:07.080
<v Speaker 2>because this has got some people and I don't even

1:23:07.080 --> 1:23:10.599
<v Speaker 2>know if it's confused, it's got them bothered like somehow

1:23:10.680 --> 1:23:13.479
<v Speaker 2>we're doing something very very wrong. But I think most

1:23:13.520 --> 1:23:16.280
<v Speaker 2>people don't understand what we're doing. We will break that

1:23:16.439 --> 1:23:20.680
<v Speaker 2>down with doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis.

1:23:21.000 --> 1:23:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Keep it right here, guys, I'm Tony Katz, and this

1:23:23.520 --> 1:23:24.559
<v Speaker 2>is Tony Katz. Today.

1:23:24.760 --> 1:23:27.880
<v Speaker 15>The Democratic National Committee, it's been well publicized, has been

1:23:27.920 --> 1:23:32.360
<v Speaker 15>struggling with debt. Republicans are sitting on at least one hundred.

1:23:32.080 --> 1:23:34.160
<v Speaker 2>And thirty million dollar war chess.

1:23:34.640 --> 1:23:38.639
<v Speaker 15>What does the success of l Sied tell you about

1:23:38.680 --> 1:23:41.880
<v Speaker 15>what the definition of power is right now? Because in

1:23:42.040 --> 1:23:45.120
<v Speaker 15>our universe we often think power is money. That's the

1:23:45.200 --> 1:23:46.479
<v Speaker 15>opposite of what he's running on.

1:23:47.439 --> 1:23:50.120
<v Speaker 13>Well, what I have read is that some of the

1:23:50.160 --> 1:23:53.320
<v Speaker 13>big donors are holding back because they're not quite sure

1:23:53.479 --> 1:23:56.519
<v Speaker 13>what they're funding right now. And I think that we're

1:23:57.000 --> 1:23:59.519
<v Speaker 13>in the middle of an interesting debate right now about

1:24:00.400 --> 1:24:02.719
<v Speaker 13>I mean, where is the center of the Democratic Party

1:24:02.800 --> 1:24:05.120
<v Speaker 13>And this election will help it, but it doesn't have

1:24:05.240 --> 1:24:07.479
<v Speaker 13>a center the way the Republican Party has a center,

1:24:07.520 --> 1:24:11.120
<v Speaker 13>which is Donald Trump. And so what's happened is it's

1:24:11.160 --> 1:24:14.800
<v Speaker 13>allowed I think the media, among other things, and I

1:24:14.920 --> 1:24:17.439
<v Speaker 13>mean Fox HUWS, but I also mean MS now to

1:24:17.520 --> 1:24:21.479
<v Speaker 13>focus on the extremes right without. I don't think there's

1:24:21.640 --> 1:24:24.519
<v Speaker 13>that many DSA candidates out there, but you look at

1:24:24.560 --> 1:24:27.479
<v Speaker 13>the media and that's all there are is DSA candidates

1:24:27.520 --> 1:24:31.000
<v Speaker 13>out there, and the result of that is you put

1:24:31.120 --> 1:24:35.040
<v Speaker 13>forward a Democratic Party that looks like it's extreme which

1:24:35.120 --> 1:24:38.080
<v Speaker 13>it has its extremes, but no focus at all, by

1:24:38.120 --> 1:24:39.600
<v Speaker 13>the way, on the Republican.

1:24:39.200 --> 1:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Extremes, because the Republicans aren't engaged in these extremes. I mean,

1:24:44.800 --> 1:24:47.760
<v Speaker 2>one could argue that the point being made there in

1:24:47.920 --> 1:24:51.599
<v Speaker 2>MS now is a legitimate point. Maybe there aren't as

1:24:51.720 --> 1:24:56.080
<v Speaker 2>many communist candidates, democratic socialists or communists end of discussion.

1:24:57.400 --> 1:25:00.840
<v Speaker 2>As you know, we talk about that, but there's only, like,

1:25:00.960 --> 1:25:03.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, five or six as opposed to five hundred.

1:25:04.640 --> 1:25:06.360
<v Speaker 2>But you're talking about people who could be the next

1:25:06.439 --> 1:25:10.720
<v Speaker 2>senator from Michigan. You had a guy who had a

1:25:10.840 --> 1:25:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Nazi tattoo and multiple allegations which are deemed credible by

1:25:16.120 --> 1:25:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the vast majority. Hasn't been front of a court of

1:25:18.880 --> 1:25:22.440
<v Speaker 2>law yet, so I can't say that of sexual impropriety.

1:25:22.880 --> 1:25:25.920
<v Speaker 2>And you replace him with a guy who married I'm sorry,

1:25:26.200 --> 1:25:29.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't marry, but had kids with his second cousin. That's

1:25:29.439 --> 1:25:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Troy Jackson. You have got a lot of radicalness out there.

1:25:33.520 --> 1:25:35.959
<v Speaker 2>You've got a mayor in New York, a mayor in Seattle.

1:25:36.439 --> 1:25:41.840
<v Speaker 2>These are not small cities engaging these full on communist agendas.

1:25:43.200 --> 1:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Of course, you have a reason to be concerned. Tony

1:25:46.040 --> 1:25:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Katz Tony Katz today. Good to be with you. So

1:25:48.760 --> 1:25:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the counter to that argument is, we're obsessing about these things,

1:25:51.920 --> 1:25:55.160
<v Speaker 2>but I only named a handful. Those handful affect a

1:25:55.240 --> 1:25:59.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of lives. Those handful tell a story about growth,

1:25:59.479 --> 1:26:05.160
<v Speaker 2>and those andful is the is the recognition that the

1:26:05.240 --> 1:26:08.000
<v Speaker 2>political left is broken and has been common deared by

1:26:08.040 --> 1:26:11.200
<v Speaker 2>these communists. This is who they are. They are communists,

1:26:11.240 --> 1:26:16.880
<v Speaker 2>and they are Islamist adjacent. They're certainly Islamis supportive because

1:26:16.960 --> 1:26:21.679
<v Speaker 2>they say nothing. They say nothing of what we see

1:26:22.200 --> 1:26:26.559
<v Speaker 2>all around the country of this growing threat. They look

1:26:26.560 --> 1:26:28.200
<v Speaker 2>at the communism and say, this is what the young

1:26:28.320 --> 1:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>people want. They don't one hundred million people dead at

1:26:31.760 --> 1:26:33.920
<v Speaker 2>the hands of communists. Well, that's not really the case.

1:26:34.000 --> 1:26:36.880
<v Speaker 2>That's not true, that's not what happened. They will lie

1:26:37.000 --> 1:26:39.200
<v Speaker 2>about anything and everything, everywhere and all the time.

1:26:39.280 --> 1:26:40.120
<v Speaker 15>But we know that.

1:26:41.840 --> 1:26:46.519
<v Speaker 2>We're aware of that because we discuss these things. But

1:26:46.640 --> 1:26:51.439
<v Speaker 2>the real story here is if you allow this to metastasize,

1:26:52.040 --> 1:26:55.439
<v Speaker 2>if you allow this radicalness of an ideology to grow

1:26:56.040 --> 1:27:00.680
<v Speaker 2>and to fester, you will have an unrecognized country and

1:27:00.720 --> 1:27:04.200
<v Speaker 2>then you will have no country whatsoever. So while he

1:27:04.439 --> 1:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>is correct, it may only be my word handful of

1:27:08.120 --> 1:27:10.760
<v Speaker 2>these communists running for office. It is that they feel

1:27:10.880 --> 1:27:15.160
<v Speaker 2>emboldened to run. They feel that this is their time.

1:27:16.280 --> 1:27:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea if Hassan Piker is a legit

1:27:19.040 --> 1:27:22.519
<v Speaker 2>guy or doing this for the clicks, I have no clue.

1:27:22.880 --> 1:27:25.400
<v Speaker 2>All I know is his ideology has to lose and

1:27:25.520 --> 1:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>screw him and Iona Presley and Rashida Talib and Elano

1:27:30.000 --> 1:27:34.840
<v Speaker 2>More and then the Kazu Cortes. They don't care that

1:27:34.960 --> 1:27:40.160
<v Speaker 2>these people are communists. They say welcome, because in the

1:27:40.400 --> 1:27:43.479
<v Speaker 2>end the goal is the same, the dismantling of Western

1:27:43.520 --> 1:27:45.840
<v Speaker 2>civilization and the ending of the United States, the ripping

1:27:45.880 --> 1:27:50.200
<v Speaker 2>asunder of the Constitution. When it's just one person, you notice.

1:27:50.640 --> 1:27:55.760
<v Speaker 2>And that's where this falls apart if Steve Liisman over there,

1:27:56.320 --> 1:27:58.360
<v Speaker 2>he's a a CNBC guy, but he was doing an

1:27:58.360 --> 1:28:01.320
<v Speaker 2>interview on MS now saying there's no focus at all

1:28:01.360 --> 1:28:04.360
<v Speaker 2>in the Republican extremes because everyone is obsessed with the DSA.

1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I put forth to you that Republicans extremes. To the

1:28:09.000 --> 1:28:13.720
<v Speaker 2>extent that there are extremes, they get rooted out by Republicans.

1:28:14.320 --> 1:28:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Democrats welcome it, embrace it, laud it, glorify it, and

1:28:18.880 --> 1:28:21.320
<v Speaker 2>then say, how dare you ask questions about it? We

1:28:21.479 --> 1:28:26.759
<v Speaker 2>have to beat those Republicans. Graham Platter is a Nazi,

1:28:27.960 --> 1:28:32.920
<v Speaker 2>credibly accused in my view, of multiple accounts of sexual impropriety,

1:28:33.240 --> 1:28:37.920
<v Speaker 2>innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, fetishizes

1:28:38.880 --> 1:28:41.880
<v Speaker 2>about pleasuring himself in a porta potty and laughs when

1:28:41.920 --> 1:28:46.360
<v Speaker 2>American soldiers are killed and Democrats said, hey, we have

1:28:46.479 --> 1:28:51.840
<v Speaker 2>to win the Senate. There's the difference. Republicans would have

1:28:51.880 --> 1:28:56.640
<v Speaker 2>felt the pressure immediately and he'd begne. He'd begne. We

1:28:56.800 --> 1:29:02.360
<v Speaker 2>got rid of the senator from Idaho for having a

1:29:02.479 --> 1:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>wide stance. Do you remember this guy? He's he's in

1:29:09.280 --> 1:29:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the bathroom's Larry Craig is his name. Arrested for lude

1:29:13.960 --> 1:29:16.639
<v Speaker 2>conduct in a men's bathroom at the Minneapolis Saint Paul

1:29:16.760 --> 1:29:21.719
<v Speaker 2>International Airport. He entered a guilty plea for disorderly conduct

1:29:22.880 --> 1:29:25.679
<v Speaker 2>a wide stance because he put it away. The foot

1:29:25.840 --> 1:29:31.120
<v Speaker 2>was underneath the stall door. He was tapping his foot.

1:29:31.240 --> 1:29:33.920
<v Speaker 2>It was a signal that somebody wanted to engage in

1:29:34.040 --> 1:29:38.040
<v Speaker 2>lude conduct. I don't know, and these are not This

1:29:38.240 --> 1:29:43.120
<v Speaker 2>is not my world, Thank you very much. Gone. The

1:29:43.280 --> 1:29:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Left is openly endorsing communists, and we got rid of

1:29:46.880 --> 1:29:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Larry Craig because he liked to tap dance while he was.

1:29:50.439 --> 1:29:57.280
<v Speaker 5>Going number two. I'm sorry they not like us. These

1:29:57.439 --> 1:30:01.240
<v Speaker 5>things are not comparable. I don't know why the hell

1:30:01.280 --> 1:30:07.559
<v Speaker 5>were pretending that they are just madness, so you can

1:30:07.720 --> 1:30:12.880
<v Speaker 5>argue that it's an obsession. Rational people would argue that

1:30:13.000 --> 1:30:17.520
<v Speaker 5>they're communists. Know, by the way, ripping the Democrat Party apart.

1:30:18.600 --> 1:30:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, when I say ripping it apart, they are ripping

1:30:21.000 --> 1:30:23.680
<v Speaker 2>apart those people who won't accept the communists. Communists are

1:30:23.680 --> 1:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>going to win this thing. The Communists are gonna win

1:30:26.000 --> 1:30:28.240
<v Speaker 2>this thing. I don't think the Democrats have what it

1:30:28.280 --> 1:30:30.439
<v Speaker 2>takes to keep them out. I don't think they want

1:30:30.479 --> 1:30:33.559
<v Speaker 2>to keep them out. Powers powers, powers, power, and they

1:30:33.560 --> 1:30:36.160
<v Speaker 2>don't care how they get it. They will morph, they

1:30:36.160 --> 1:30:39.879
<v Speaker 2>will maneuver, they will be these people. Wait until Representative

1:30:39.920 --> 1:30:43.439
<v Speaker 2>of Costi Cortes learns she's not enough to the left,

1:30:44.120 --> 1:30:48.080
<v Speaker 2>because that crop is coming up soon. If you want

1:30:48.160 --> 1:30:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the revolution to remain, there always has to be somebody

1:30:51.439 --> 1:30:55.720
<v Speaker 2>who's more revolution minded than you. And for all these

1:30:55.840 --> 1:31:04.080
<v Speaker 2>squad members that is coming really quick and coming directly

1:31:04.200 --> 1:31:07.200
<v Speaker 2>at them. Find everything I do at Tony kats dot com.

1:31:07.280 --> 1:31:09.519
<v Speaker 2>I've got more with doctor Matt Will coming up. Keep

1:31:09.560 --> 1:31:12.559
<v Speaker 2>it here. I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz Today.

1:31:18.280 --> 1:31:21.000
<v Speaker 2>So this whole yen thing with President Trump has got

1:31:21.040 --> 1:31:23.200
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of people in an uproar, except I don't

1:31:23.280 --> 1:31:26.240
<v Speaker 2>know if there's anything to uproar here. When you hear

1:31:26.280 --> 1:31:29.760
<v Speaker 2>about this deal, we're propping up the end or are

1:31:29.800 --> 1:31:33.000
<v Speaker 2>we buying the yen? Is this like that Argentina deal

1:31:33.040 --> 1:31:35.240
<v Speaker 2>where we bought pesos and they got dollars and then

1:31:35.280 --> 1:31:39.960
<v Speaker 2>they they did pay us back? So what is the

1:31:40.000 --> 1:31:42.400
<v Speaker 2>story here? I mean, what maybe we should be asking

1:31:42.479 --> 1:31:46.519
<v Speaker 2>what's up with the Japanese economy? Tony Katz, Tony Katz today,

1:31:46.680 --> 1:31:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Great to be with you talking to doctor Matt Will,

1:31:49.200 --> 1:31:53.080
<v Speaker 2>economist at the University of Indianapolis. The story out of Japan,

1:31:53.960 --> 1:31:57.080
<v Speaker 2>which the market doesn't seem to care too much about. Again,

1:31:57.360 --> 1:32:00.599
<v Speaker 2>the market fascinating. It was just so high that there's

1:32:00.600 --> 1:32:02.439
<v Speaker 2>an alleged deal with Iran, and the opening of the

1:32:02.439 --> 1:32:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Straight of Horn moves boom, Like the Dow opened and

1:32:05.360 --> 1:32:07.280
<v Speaker 2>it went over seven hundred in the first hour. I

1:32:07.320 --> 1:32:09.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know where it's going to close. No one does.

1:32:09.840 --> 1:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>But everyone was very, very excited. But this yen story

1:32:13.439 --> 1:32:15.720
<v Speaker 2>and what's going on with the Japanese economy, Now, this

1:32:16.439 --> 1:32:20.040
<v Speaker 2>is the kind of stuff that always puts me a

1:32:20.120 --> 1:32:22.720
<v Speaker 2>bit on edge. At first, I thought this was a

1:32:22.760 --> 1:32:26.720
<v Speaker 2>story much like Argentina and US buying pesos. And then

1:32:26.760 --> 1:32:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I said, well, this is Japan. This is a country

1:32:28.880 --> 1:32:31.800
<v Speaker 2>that's coming out of thirty plus years of stagflation. I

1:32:31.960 --> 1:32:34.519
<v Speaker 2>thought they had already come out of it. This does

1:32:34.600 --> 1:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>not signal that. And then there's a question whether or

1:32:36.680 --> 1:32:39.080
<v Speaker 2>not this is an economic move or a political move.

1:32:39.720 --> 1:32:42.679
<v Speaker 2>Talk to me about what's happening in the Japanese economy,

1:32:43.160 --> 1:32:45.720
<v Speaker 2>what did they signal to the world, and why did

1:32:45.760 --> 1:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the US come to the rescue.

1:32:48.120 --> 1:32:50.519
<v Speaker 14>Wow, Okay, there's a lot to unpack here, and I'm

1:32:50.520 --> 1:32:52.719
<v Speaker 14>gonna put on my professor cap and try to explain

1:32:52.760 --> 1:32:55.040
<v Speaker 14>it clearly. But you added one thing that I had

1:32:55.120 --> 1:32:59.080
<v Speaker 14>not thought about, because I'm an economics nerd, the political angle.

1:32:59.240 --> 1:33:01.120
<v Speaker 14>You are one hundred per correct. I had not thought

1:33:01.160 --> 1:33:03.760
<v Speaker 14>about why the US is doing this. It's political. So

1:33:03.880 --> 1:33:07.799
<v Speaker 14>what's going on here? The US bought yen a significant amount.

1:33:08.320 --> 1:33:11.479
<v Speaker 14>This takes them out of circulation. So go back to

1:33:11.520 --> 1:33:14.559
<v Speaker 14>the same discussion we have about inflation and taking dollars

1:33:14.600 --> 1:33:18.920
<v Speaker 14>out of the economy. The United States government bought yen

1:33:19.080 --> 1:33:22.120
<v Speaker 14>and took them out of circulation in Japan. So that

1:33:22.280 --> 1:33:27.679
<v Speaker 14>makes the yen stronger, that reduces their inflation, and that's

1:33:27.720 --> 1:33:30.360
<v Speaker 14>a good thing for them. But it also makes the

1:33:30.439 --> 1:33:34.040
<v Speaker 14>yen stronger against the butler, which weakens our currency, which

1:33:34.120 --> 1:33:36.280
<v Speaker 14>is a side issue. But it's interesting why we are

1:33:36.360 --> 1:33:39.200
<v Speaker 14>accepting that, and I got a theory as to why

1:33:39.240 --> 1:33:41.759
<v Speaker 14>we're accepting that. But it's a little different than Argentina.

1:33:42.400 --> 1:33:45.600
<v Speaker 14>And let me tell it's similar, but not exactly. Argentina

1:33:45.680 --> 1:33:49.599
<v Speaker 14>needed US dollars. They needed US dollars to buy other things,

1:33:49.680 --> 1:33:53.519
<v Speaker 14>so we gave them US dollars by buying pesos. Japan

1:33:53.640 --> 1:33:57.200
<v Speaker 14>doesn't need dollars, they just need fewer yen. They've got

1:33:57.240 --> 1:34:00.679
<v Speaker 14>plenty of US dollars. They needed fewer yen their economy,

1:34:00.720 --> 1:34:03.120
<v Speaker 14>and they wanted us to take them out. And I

1:34:03.240 --> 1:34:06.160
<v Speaker 14>got to give, you know, Scott Besson and the Treasury

1:34:06.200 --> 1:34:10.120
<v Speaker 14>Department genius for how they did it. They did it

1:34:10.200 --> 1:34:12.439
<v Speaker 14>in a way that we've never seen before. And Wall

1:34:12.520 --> 1:34:16.679
<v Speaker 14>Street got very upset at this. They didn't buy yen

1:34:16.920 --> 1:34:20.200
<v Speaker 14>with dollars. They bought yen with euros.

1:34:21.200 --> 1:34:21.800
<v Speaker 2>They took the.

1:34:21.920 --> 1:34:24.320
<v Speaker 14>Euros that we hold, and we do hold a lot

1:34:24.360 --> 1:34:27.320
<v Speaker 14>of international currencies, and they bought the yen with that.

1:34:28.320 --> 1:34:32.360
<v Speaker 14>That totally messed up Wall Street's arbitrage and the speculators

1:34:32.400 --> 1:34:35.240
<v Speaker 14>and the traders because they didn't want to spend dollars.

1:34:35.360 --> 1:34:37.920
<v Speaker 14>My theory is that they believe the dollars a good

1:34:38.000 --> 1:34:41.080
<v Speaker 14>investment right now, because Trump's all about investing. He's all

1:34:41.080 --> 1:34:42.960
<v Speaker 14>about I'm going to make money here and make money there.

1:34:43.200 --> 1:34:46.960
<v Speaker 14>And Scott Besson did a very good pivot and disrupted

1:34:47.040 --> 1:34:49.320
<v Speaker 14>the markets, and I think it's going to help Japan,

1:34:49.400 --> 1:34:51.439
<v Speaker 14>but Japan has to get their own house in order.

1:34:51.560 --> 1:34:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Also, Okay, everything you just said makes people want to

1:34:56.520 --> 1:34:59.920
<v Speaker 2>have a drink. No part of that for the normal

1:35:00.280 --> 1:35:05.679
<v Speaker 2>person makes any sense. So let's start going back. Why

1:35:06.600 --> 1:35:10.439
<v Speaker 2>did Japan need us to buy yen and pull yen

1:35:10.720 --> 1:35:12.440
<v Speaker 2>out of their economy.

1:35:13.960 --> 1:35:17.519
<v Speaker 14>Japan is causing their own inflation and they're asking us

1:35:17.600 --> 1:35:20.720
<v Speaker 14>for help to bail them out because they're not doing

1:35:20.880 --> 1:35:24.320
<v Speaker 14>enough domestically. Their own prime minister, she's doing a great

1:35:24.400 --> 1:35:27.840
<v Speaker 14>job in trying to be responsible. She's a good free

1:35:28.000 --> 1:35:32.760
<v Speaker 14>market capitalist type person. Yes, it's a culture. They have

1:35:32.960 --> 1:35:37.320
<v Speaker 14>tremendous they have price caps. They have price caps, they

1:35:37.439 --> 1:35:42.560
<v Speaker 14>have government subsidies across the board for their citizens, and

1:35:42.760 --> 1:35:47.759
<v Speaker 14>therefore she's having a tough time domestically controlling this monster,

1:35:48.439 --> 1:35:51.880
<v Speaker 14>which is the Japanese government and what they give to

1:35:51.960 --> 1:35:55.280
<v Speaker 14>their citizens. I know, this sounds weird. They also have

1:35:55.320 --> 1:35:58.880
<v Speaker 14>another problem, this is going to sound very weird. They're

1:35:58.920 --> 1:36:02.320
<v Speaker 14>people save too much and don't borrow enough. They have

1:36:02.400 --> 1:36:05.080
<v Speaker 14>one of the highest savings rates in the world and

1:36:05.200 --> 1:36:08.599
<v Speaker 14>they have one of the lowest borrowing rates in the world. Well,

1:36:08.920 --> 1:36:13.080
<v Speaker 14>that doesn't encourage people to grow their businesses. And because

1:36:13.080 --> 1:36:16.040
<v Speaker 14>of the price controls. Okay, I'm hoping I'm not losing

1:36:16.080 --> 1:36:20.240
<v Speaker 14>people here. Their CPI is low, but their PPI is

1:36:20.360 --> 1:36:23.920
<v Speaker 14>seven point one percent. Their producers are experienced inflation as

1:36:24.000 --> 1:36:26.760
<v Speaker 14>bad as ours, and they can't pass it along because

1:36:26.760 --> 1:36:30.640
<v Speaker 14>of government controls. So she's trying to rein in this

1:36:30.880 --> 1:36:34.960
<v Speaker 14>government monster. This okay, ready godzilla in Japan.

1:36:35.479 --> 1:36:38.240
<v Speaker 2>So you do that. That's not my role, okay.

1:36:39.880 --> 1:36:42.519
<v Speaker 14>But she needed the US government help, and they reached

1:36:42.560 --> 1:36:45.439
<v Speaker 14>out and asked us for help. It was a coordinated effort.

1:36:46.080 --> 1:36:49.960
<v Speaker 14>I'm pretty impressed with how it's going in our cooperation

1:36:50.120 --> 1:36:50.280
<v Speaker 14>on this.

1:36:50.960 --> 1:36:57.559
<v Speaker 2>So they needed Yen out of the economy to thwart

1:36:57.800 --> 1:37:01.719
<v Speaker 2>the inflation issue, which is because of their own government policies.

1:37:01.760 --> 1:37:05.160
<v Speaker 2>But they're not about changing the government policies, not changing

1:37:05.200 --> 1:37:08.080
<v Speaker 2>them fast enough. She is trying to change them. She's

1:37:08.120 --> 1:37:11.080
<v Speaker 2>having great difficulty. And you can imagine Trump wants to

1:37:11.200 --> 1:37:14.360
<v Speaker 2>keep her politically strong. So you added that genius touch there.

1:37:14.400 --> 1:37:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think about.

1:37:15.439 --> 1:37:17.720
<v Speaker 14>There is politics here, and he wants to prop her up.

1:37:18.040 --> 1:37:20.479
<v Speaker 14>He doesn't want her to suffer. And by the way,

1:37:20.640 --> 1:37:22.559
<v Speaker 14>she will be punished if she tries to take away

1:37:22.600 --> 1:37:23.400
<v Speaker 14>some of those goodies.

1:37:24.280 --> 1:37:27.559
<v Speaker 2>And understand that the politics here, you can argue, are

1:37:27.640 --> 1:37:31.200
<v Speaker 2>within Japan and of itself, but these are politics that

1:37:31.320 --> 1:37:34.639
<v Speaker 2>are about China and thwarting China and making a strong

1:37:34.880 --> 1:37:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Pacific rim. And this is about shipping lanes and the

1:37:37.720 --> 1:37:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Taiwan Straight and the Yellow Sea in the South China Sea,

1:37:40.479 --> 1:37:43.840
<v Speaker 2>this is about navigable seas. This is about hegemonic power.

1:37:44.160 --> 1:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot here. And Sonai Takaichi, the Prime minister

1:37:46.920 --> 1:37:51.519
<v Speaker 2>that we're talking about, has been very very westward looking

1:37:51.960 --> 1:37:56.080
<v Speaker 2>and forward looking with President Trump wanting that alliance because

1:37:56.120 --> 1:37:59.759
<v Speaker 2>she knows if Taiwan goes, everything is up for grabs.

1:38:00.120 --> 1:38:03.720
<v Speaker 2>She's nobody's fool talking to doctor Matt Will, economists at

1:38:03.760 --> 1:38:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the University of Indianapolis. So let's now go back to

1:38:06.960 --> 1:38:10.960
<v Speaker 2>what happened here. We end up buying yen to pull

1:38:11.120 --> 1:38:13.400
<v Speaker 2>yen out of the system, and we pay them in

1:38:13.560 --> 1:38:16.560
<v Speaker 2>euros that we're holding. What the hell do they do

1:38:16.720 --> 1:38:20.680
<v Speaker 2>with the euro? What gets weird is I don't care

1:38:20.880 --> 1:38:23.280
<v Speaker 2>if you give me a pound of gold, or you

1:38:23.439 --> 1:38:25.640
<v Speaker 2>give me the equivalent in dollars, or you give me

1:38:25.680 --> 1:38:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the equivalents in platinum. The money is still there, so

1:38:30.400 --> 1:38:33.519
<v Speaker 2>it's not necessarily pulled out. All you did is go

1:38:33.640 --> 1:38:35.760
<v Speaker 2>from a liquid to a solid to a gas man.

1:38:36.160 --> 1:38:38.439
<v Speaker 2>You changed its form, but you didn't change the thing.

1:38:39.360 --> 1:38:42.639
<v Speaker 14>Ah, but Japanese citizens don't pay for stuff in euros.

1:38:42.880 --> 1:38:46.559
<v Speaker 14>They pay for stuff in yen. So to quote one

1:38:46.600 --> 1:38:48.800
<v Speaker 14>of our favorite politicians, you put it in the lock

1:38:48.880 --> 1:38:52.080
<v Speaker 14>box in the corner of Tokyo and nobody touches it.

1:38:52.200 --> 1:38:54.320
<v Speaker 14>So the euros are in the lock box and no

1:38:54.400 --> 1:38:57.160
<v Speaker 14>one's touching them, so it's not causing the inflation. I

1:38:57.240 --> 1:38:59.519
<v Speaker 14>got to go back and just say, told don.

1:38:59.720 --> 1:39:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Did you just quote Al Gore on this show, you

1:39:02.520 --> 1:39:05.880
<v Speaker 2>got the reference. Yes, gosh, guys, I want to apologize

1:39:05.880 --> 1:39:09.320
<v Speaker 2>to everybody. I I try to vet the people on

1:39:09.439 --> 1:39:12.519
<v Speaker 2>this show to the best of my ability. Doctor Willis

1:39:12.680 --> 1:39:16.960
<v Speaker 2>quoting Al Gore, My goodness, gracious sir, but continue please.

1:39:17.280 --> 1:39:19.800
<v Speaker 14>Well, but your analysis I was doing the I can

1:39:19.920 --> 1:39:23.200
<v Speaker 14>explain what I understand what occurred, the mechanics. I can

1:39:23.320 --> 1:39:25.240
<v Speaker 14>even go into what we call a cash and carry

1:39:25.320 --> 1:39:27.559
<v Speaker 14>trade in an arbitrage yen dollar rates.

1:39:28.000 --> 1:39:32.800
<v Speaker 2>But you said the political. Now I understand why the

1:39:33.080 --> 1:39:33.960
<v Speaker 2>why was missing.

1:39:34.640 --> 1:39:36.599
<v Speaker 14>You know, all the financial press this morning are going

1:39:36.680 --> 1:39:38.840
<v Speaker 14>over the top looking at this, crunching the numbers, saying

1:39:39.200 --> 1:39:40.800
<v Speaker 14>this is this is interesting.

1:39:41.680 --> 1:39:42.360
<v Speaker 2>But that's the why.

1:39:42.439 --> 1:39:45.960
<v Speaker 14>The why is the politics because he needs Trump needs

1:39:46.160 --> 1:39:49.519
<v Speaker 14>her in that place for the whole China's situation, and

1:39:49.880 --> 1:39:54.439
<v Speaker 14>because it actually makes a dollar stronger or weaker. I mean,

1:39:54.920 --> 1:39:57.080
<v Speaker 14>this is he's going against his own thing. By the way,

1:39:57.280 --> 1:39:59.040
<v Speaker 14>you know how he could solve the problem with China

1:39:59.200 --> 1:40:02.400
<v Speaker 14>much or would you pan much easier? Eliminate the tariffs.

1:40:03.160 --> 1:40:06.200
<v Speaker 14>Eliminate the tariffs. It's causing their exports to cost more.

1:40:06.360 --> 1:40:08.760
<v Speaker 14>If he would just eliminate the tariffs, that would have

1:40:08.880 --> 1:40:12.080
<v Speaker 14>a huge benefit for Japan, So why don't we just

1:40:12.200 --> 1:40:13.040
<v Speaker 14>eliminate the tariffs.

1:40:13.560 --> 1:40:16.960
<v Speaker 2>He's not going to do this on any level. So

1:40:17.120 --> 1:40:19.920
<v Speaker 2>here we are. We just bought this currency. So this

1:40:20.200 --> 1:40:23.160
<v Speaker 2>is different. Talking to doctor Matt Will, economist at the

1:40:23.280 --> 1:40:25.840
<v Speaker 2>University of Indianapolis. And by the way, I'm with you,

1:40:25.920 --> 1:40:28.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting rid of all all the tariffs, and as

1:40:28.520 --> 1:40:31.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not a tariff guy. We buy this currency.

1:40:32.160 --> 1:40:35.320
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't hurt us. I mean it does if you

1:40:35.360 --> 1:40:38.240
<v Speaker 2>want to argue, weaken the dollar, which would be Trump

1:40:38.360 --> 1:40:41.439
<v Speaker 2>going against his own desires. But he sees a bigger

1:40:41.520 --> 1:40:45.320
<v Speaker 2>long term value. And now we hold on to this

1:40:45.439 --> 1:40:47.719
<v Speaker 2>yen like we held on to the euro. It doesn't

1:40:47.800 --> 1:40:50.760
<v Speaker 2>change anything. Is that how it's different than the Argentina deal.

1:40:51.600 --> 1:40:54.880
<v Speaker 14>Yes, the Argentina deal was a swap. We knew that

1:40:55.040 --> 1:40:57.040
<v Speaker 14>we were buying pesos and we knew that we were

1:40:57.040 --> 1:40:59.120
<v Speaker 14>going to sell them back. That was a you know,

1:40:59.520 --> 1:41:03.080
<v Speaker 14>a swap is literally that Japan had access to what's

1:41:03.120 --> 1:41:06.160
<v Speaker 14>called a repo. A repo is like a swap. It's

1:41:06.160 --> 1:41:08.519
<v Speaker 14>an overnight where you sell your currency and buy it back.

1:41:08.880 --> 1:41:11.439
<v Speaker 14>They didn't want that. They want it taken off the market.

1:41:11.840 --> 1:41:16.599
<v Speaker 14>Not forever, but for the foreseeable future. And so yeah,

1:41:16.680 --> 1:41:19.960
<v Speaker 14>we own the Euros. They're sitting you know, in electronic

1:41:20.080 --> 1:41:23.040
<v Speaker 14>form and banking, you know, New York or DC, and

1:41:23.080 --> 1:41:25.080
<v Speaker 14>they'll just sit there until we decide we want to

1:41:25.200 --> 1:41:25.840
<v Speaker 14>get rid of them.

1:41:26.800 --> 1:41:30.800
<v Speaker 2>So now we get into the next steps here, what

1:41:31.080 --> 1:41:34.240
<v Speaker 2>happens in the Japanese economy or what should we be

1:41:34.360 --> 1:41:37.719
<v Speaker 2>looking for? What are the markers in the Japanese economy

1:41:38.120 --> 1:41:41.240
<v Speaker 2>to see whether or not this has provided them value?

1:41:41.720 --> 1:41:43.880
<v Speaker 2>And is there something we need to be looking at

1:41:44.200 --> 1:41:47.479
<v Speaker 2>to see whether or not it has done us harm? Okay,

1:41:48.439 --> 1:41:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I could not have answered that until you mentioned the

1:41:51.040 --> 1:41:53.400
<v Speaker 2>political angle. Now I get it. So this is what

1:41:53.560 --> 1:41:55.599
<v Speaker 2>I think is going to happen. I think it gives

1:41:55.640 --> 1:41:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the Prime minister cover. I think it allows her to

1:41:58.479 --> 1:42:01.920
<v Speaker 2>go to her you know whatever they call their you

1:42:02.000 --> 1:42:03.320
<v Speaker 2>know Congress in Japan.

1:42:03.360 --> 1:42:06.080
<v Speaker 14>I'm not familiar with that. And say, look, I've got

1:42:06.120 --> 1:42:08.720
<v Speaker 14>Trump on my side. They're supporting us. Look what they

1:42:08.840 --> 1:42:13.400
<v Speaker 14>did with buying yen. They've been very beneficial. Now, you guys,

1:42:13.479 --> 1:42:16.160
<v Speaker 14>if you want me to keep getting my friend Trump

1:42:16.240 --> 1:42:19.080
<v Speaker 14>to help us, you have to start helping me change

1:42:19.120 --> 1:42:21.640
<v Speaker 14>some things in our economy. I think she's going to

1:42:21.640 --> 1:42:24.120
<v Speaker 14>be able to use it as leverage to improve the

1:42:24.640 --> 1:42:28.000
<v Speaker 14>elimination of the subsidies. I mean, I won't bore you

1:42:28.040 --> 1:42:30.800
<v Speaker 14>with the details, but things like rice. It's amazing how

1:42:31.000 --> 1:42:34.240
<v Speaker 14>much subsidy goes into the rice farms in Japan, so

1:42:34.360 --> 1:42:37.280
<v Speaker 14>much so that there are blocks in Tokyo of rice farms.

1:42:37.520 --> 1:42:40.640
<v Speaker 14>The most densely populated city in the world, and they

1:42:40.680 --> 1:42:42.920
<v Speaker 14>have rice farms because of the subsidies make it so

1:42:43.160 --> 1:42:46.080
<v Speaker 14>financially advantageous. I think she's going to be able to

1:42:46.200 --> 1:42:51.120
<v Speaker 14>slowly change the policies, get people in the country on board,

1:42:51.720 --> 1:42:55.160
<v Speaker 14>and I think she's using Trump's aid as a tool

1:42:55.240 --> 1:42:56.040
<v Speaker 14>to make that happen.

1:42:56.120 --> 1:42:57.439
<v Speaker 2>So kudos for her.

1:42:57.600 --> 1:42:59.920
<v Speaker 14>I think she's doing a pretty good job in trying

1:43:00.160 --> 1:43:02.080
<v Speaker 14>to use this for domestic gain.

1:43:03.160 --> 1:43:06.200
<v Speaker 2>By the way, in Japan they have a bicameral system

1:43:06.400 --> 1:43:10.960
<v Speaker 2>that comes based modeled after our system after the Emperor.

1:43:11.200 --> 1:43:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Just as I only know little things here and there,

1:43:14.200 --> 1:43:17.120
<v Speaker 2>doctor Will, it's one of the weird things that I know,

1:43:17.840 --> 1:43:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis. I

1:43:21.160 --> 1:43:23.120
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you taking the time to be with us. There's

1:43:23.200 --> 1:43:24.960
<v Speaker 2>much more show to get to keep it here. I'm

1:43:25.000 --> 1:43:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today.

1:43:28.000 --> 1:43:29.400
<v Speaker 8>I know you don't have the fever again in the

1:43:29.439 --> 1:43:32.680
<v Speaker 8>regular season, but coming out of the break, one of

1:43:32.720 --> 1:43:35.560
<v Speaker 8>the big news stories has been Sophie Cunningham and the

1:43:36.920 --> 1:43:40.360
<v Speaker 8>protests for her and protests against her. And you know,

1:43:40.439 --> 1:43:43.880
<v Speaker 8>they had a national televised game today and Cheryl, you know,

1:43:44.120 --> 1:43:47.040
<v Speaker 8>for a shirt and it's just a conversation. I'm wondering,

1:43:47.240 --> 1:43:49.280
<v Speaker 8>just what do you think about it? Do you do

1:43:49.360 --> 1:43:52.280
<v Speaker 8>you think that's good for the league? Does it detract

1:43:52.360 --> 1:43:55.920
<v Speaker 8>from the basketball? Is it just noise? I'm just wondering

1:43:55.960 --> 1:43:56.720
<v Speaker 8>what your opinion is.

1:43:57.360 --> 1:43:59.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's the question asked the head coach of the

1:44:00.120 --> 1:44:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Golden State Valkyries. Her name is Natalie Nikassi.

1:44:03.640 --> 1:44:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Me.

1:44:03.800 --> 1:44:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony kats today. I'm glad

1:44:06.720 --> 1:44:09.479
<v Speaker 2>you guys are here. Of course, the WNBA has screwed

1:44:09.520 --> 1:44:12.639
<v Speaker 2>it all up. They've screwed it all up, every last

1:44:12.680 --> 1:44:16.200
<v Speaker 2>bit of it. There is so much hatred in the WNBA.

1:44:16.400 --> 1:44:21.320
<v Speaker 2>It is racial, it is sexual orientation based. They really

1:44:21.479 --> 1:44:26.000
<v Speaker 2>don't want the popularity if it means that two white

1:44:26.080 --> 1:44:30.120
<v Speaker 2>women might be popular. They it is clear it's what

1:44:30.280 --> 1:44:34.200
<v Speaker 2>they've said, and all of this nonsense, so called anger

1:44:34.320 --> 1:44:38.040
<v Speaker 2>towards Sophie Cunningham for saying girls should be a girl

1:44:38.120 --> 1:44:41.000
<v Speaker 2>sports should be for girls. She didn't say anything political.

1:44:41.080 --> 1:44:44.719
<v Speaker 2>It's totally normal. Now she is taking pictures with Riley Gaines,

1:44:44.760 --> 1:44:47.519
<v Speaker 2>and Riley Gaines is definitely political. So you could argue

1:44:47.600 --> 1:44:50.280
<v Speaker 2>she's playing in the space, or she's at least embracing it,

1:44:50.600 --> 1:44:52.840
<v Speaker 2>or maybe she likes Riley Gaines. How would I know?

1:44:53.880 --> 1:44:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Somebody at The Guardian wrote that she's anti trans and

1:44:57.760 --> 1:45:00.600
<v Speaker 2>anti black. What in the world. But it goes to

1:45:00.720 --> 1:45:04.320
<v Speaker 2>prove that the WNBA wants to be a league for

1:45:04.439 --> 1:45:08.559
<v Speaker 2>black women. That more than anything, that's what they want,

1:45:08.600 --> 1:45:11.160
<v Speaker 2>at least that's what the reporter class wants. This is

1:45:11.200 --> 1:45:14.479
<v Speaker 2>where black women play, this is where black women are stars.

1:45:15.280 --> 1:45:17.680
<v Speaker 2>But Kate and Clark has electrified the whole league and

1:45:17.680 --> 1:45:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the whole country and Sophie Cunningham, it's popular, that's all.

1:45:20.920 --> 1:45:23.640
<v Speaker 2>You can't control these things. You could utilize it to

1:45:23.680 --> 1:45:26.479
<v Speaker 2>your advantage if you wanted to. But how does the

1:45:26.600 --> 1:45:29.920
<v Speaker 2>coach of the Golden State Valkyries answer the question about

1:45:29.960 --> 1:45:31.200
<v Speaker 2>what she thinks of what's going on?

1:45:33.280 --> 1:45:37.240
<v Speaker 4>I think, thank you for that question, I think, just

1:45:37.360 --> 1:45:43.640
<v Speaker 4>in terms of how I'm seeing it is if I

1:45:43.720 --> 1:45:47.559
<v Speaker 4>could answer, it's like for me, sports is about belonging.

1:45:48.840 --> 1:45:53.040
<v Speaker 4>It's about inclusivity. It's about allowing everyone to be their

1:45:53.080 --> 1:45:56.679
<v Speaker 4>authentic self. You know, I'm big on that, just because

1:45:56.680 --> 1:46:01.120
<v Speaker 4>I have been criticized for my height, for my ethnicity.

1:46:02.479 --> 1:46:05.719
<v Speaker 4>I've been in those you shouldn't belong here many times.

1:46:06.800 --> 1:46:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Sports is about belonging. Okay, I thought sports was about winning.

1:46:12.600 --> 1:46:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was about fair play. I thought it

1:46:16.080 --> 1:46:22.559
<v Speaker 2>was about excellence. It's about belonging. What possibly possibly are

1:46:22.640 --> 1:46:27.840
<v Speaker 2>you talking about? What nonsense is this? What does your

1:46:27.880 --> 1:46:32.160
<v Speaker 2>ethnicity coach have to do with any of it? Should

1:46:33.120 --> 1:46:37.400
<v Speaker 2>boys play in girls' sports? The answer is no, and

1:46:37.479 --> 1:46:41.920
<v Speaker 2>every other answer is wrong. And the WNBA, the w

1:46:42.400 --> 1:46:49.560
<v Speaker 2>stands for women WNBA, it's the Women's National Basketball Association.

1:46:50.360 --> 1:46:52.560
<v Speaker 2>And I know I'm telling you something you already know,

1:46:52.720 --> 1:46:55.479
<v Speaker 2>and this has been your argument. How is it possible

1:46:55.520 --> 1:46:58.800
<v Speaker 2>that they're doing this to themselves? Well, the answer has

1:46:58.880 --> 1:47:03.640
<v Speaker 2>to be equally as it's obvious. They do not want popularity,

1:47:04.080 --> 1:47:07.880
<v Speaker 2>they do not want growth, they do not want to

1:47:08.080 --> 1:47:11.960
<v Speaker 2>get better. They want to be a welfare league. They

1:47:12.120 --> 1:47:16.040
<v Speaker 2>want to have grievance, and they want only to cater

1:47:16.200 --> 1:47:19.400
<v Speaker 2>to black women and gay women and no one else.

1:47:19.880 --> 1:47:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Everyone else is a token who has to adhere to

1:47:23.280 --> 1:47:29.720
<v Speaker 2>their powerful and yet wholly ugly politics or be excommunicated.

1:47:30.000 --> 1:47:32.639
<v Speaker 2>It's not me saying it, they're saying. Don't get angry

1:47:32.880 --> 1:47:36.800
<v Speaker 2>with us for noticing just how bigoted they are. They

1:47:36.880 --> 1:47:39.759
<v Speaker 2>really will let men play in WNBA. It's coming to nday.

<v Speaker 2>Find everything at Tony kats dot com tomorrow. Everyone, take
