1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: Live from the heartland and the crossroads of America.

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today, foothold in our hemisphere.

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: So we did it for ourselves also.

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: And then after the war, which we won, we won

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: it big without us. Right now you'll all be speaking

6
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: German and little Japanese.

7
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: Perhaps Holy crop, he the man took zero prisoners in Davos.

8
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: It was excuse me while I whipped this out. We're

9
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: in the United States, you're not. We're not going to

10
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: do anything militarily about Greenland. But how about that Greenland?

11
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: Ha ha.

12
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Ha. It was unbelievable. It was unbelievable, And of course

13
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: it has European nations upset, but European nations are always upset.

14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: There is very little one can do about this. European

15
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: nations being angry is kind of kind of what they do.

16
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: But what Mark Carney is doing as the Prime Minister

17
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: of Canada, well, this justifies all logic and reason. We

18
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: have to change the whole new World order. Wait, I

19
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: thought there wasn't a new world order. You shut up, Tony.

20
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Of course there's a new world order and Canada is

21
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: that the tippy tippy tippy tippy medium of it.

22
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 4: Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take

23
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: their signs down. For decades, for decades, countries like Canada

24
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: prospered under what we called the rules based international order.

25
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 4: We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, We benefited

26
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: from its predictability, and because of that we could pursue

27
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: values based foreign policies under its protection. We knew the

28
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: story of the international rules based order was partially false,

29
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade

30
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: rules were enforced asymmetrically, and we knew that international law

31
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: applied with varying rigor depending on the identity of the

32
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: accused for the victim.

33
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: This fiction was useful, and.

34
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes,

35
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 4: a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks

36
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: for resolving disputes.

37
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: Which you never thought to pay for. You took advantage of,

38
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: and then when called to the carpet on it tariffs implemented,

39
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: you go running for China and you no longer have

40
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: to be a friend of the United States. Listen, I

41
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: can absolutely accept the fact that one could argue, and

42
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: I have argued to varying degrees on this show that

43
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: the push for tariffs has been irrational, that you don't

44
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: fix trade deficit issues with tariffs, it's simply the wrong approach.

45
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Canada now wants to make the claim that, yeah, it

46
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: was great when they were taking care of us, but

47
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: now they're not taking care of us, so you know,

48
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: ba Felicia. Okay, let me know how that works. Tony Katz,

49
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Tony Kats today, Good to be here, Good to be

50
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: with you. Find everything I do at Tony kats dot com. Uh,

51
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: we'll get into more of this because the words from

52
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: from Carneia, of of of Canada, the words of Macron

53
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: from France. These were some very very very harsh words,

54
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: but they are just words. What they say and what

55
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: they do, just like Trump, can be two very very

56
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: very different things. Let us discuss what Trump said that

57
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: matters most, the thing that made everybody there in in

58
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Davos say, Okay, it's not gonna get as bad as

59
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: we thought it would. It's just gonna be a little

60
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: bit weird, and it's all about making a deal. Exactly

61
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: as we said on this program.

62
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: We never asked for anything, and we never got anything.

63
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use

64
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: excessive strength and force where we would be frankly unstoppable.

65
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: But I won't do that.

66
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: Okay, now everyone's saying, oh good, that's probably the biggest

67
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: statement I made, because people thought I would use force.

68
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't have to use force.

69
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to use force.

70
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: I won't use force. All the United States is asking

71
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: for is a place called Greenland, where.

72
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: We already had it as a trustee.

73
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 3: But respectfully returned it back to Denmark not long ago.

74
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: After we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and

75
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: others in World War Two.

76
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: We gave it back to them. There was a lot

77
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: of talk about, you know, we gave it back. We

78
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't have, but that's what another president did. Well, well,

79
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: they were wrong. No military action. The markets jumped up

80
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: on that news markets jumped up on news that the

81
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: president didn't do what the president wasn't going to do

82
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: and hadn't done, and showed no movement or motion of doing.

83
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable how people have responded and reacted here. It

84
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: is also unbelievable, except totally predictable, to see how it

85
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: is that people are discussing this subject there was polling.

86
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: I wonder if I have it, Oh, here it is

87
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: over there at CNN they decided to poll on the

88
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Greenland question. Why in the world would anybody listen to

89
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: a poll on Greenland? Why would anybody think that it

90
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: matters at all? But CNN they're like, let's let's get done,

91
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: and they bring it over to Harry and dinner, like Harry, Harry,

92
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: How's how's Trump doing on Greenland?

93
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 5: Jdgtion among some that one of the things the president

94
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: is trying to do by focusing on Greenland is made

95
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: me to distract from other things with us now seen

96
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 5: in chief data analyst Harry Enny.

97
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: So the Epstein files, you mean he's distracting from the

98
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: Epstein files. That's always that's always their answer. I want

99
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: to see the Epstein files. I'd get rid of Pam Bondy.

100
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: They absolutely drop the ball on that. They fumbled the

101
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: ball on that, they blank themselves up, and now they're

102
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: still suffering because they haven't got it together. We get it.

103
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: If there was anything to show, it would have been

104
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: leaked under the Biden administration. Let the files loose, not

105
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: the way that we already that they already voted on

106
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: where you let it loose, including victims' names. That's pretty gross,

107
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: that's obscene. What are you waiting for? What are you

108
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Why does everything take so long? And why aren't you

109
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: pushing back against their narrative? You even push back as

110
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: I here, you go here. It is. Have a nice day.

111
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: But it won't stop the left from talking about the

112
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: Epstein files. They're gonna do it anyway, and that's what

113
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: they did here. But check out these numbers.

114
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: How much are people focused on Greenland opposed to other things?

115
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, so this is the whole idea. John, the

116
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 6: President United States, didn't like to focus on the Epstein files.

117
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 6: We're going to change the subject and we're going to

118
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 6: go over to Greenland. And from that perspective, it's work.

119
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: Look at this.

120
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 6: Google searches versus December for the Epstein files. Down through

121
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 6: the floor. Far fewer people are searching for the Epstein files,

122
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 6: down seventy two percent. Of course, you can't fall any

123
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 6: lower than down being one hundred percent versus for Greenland.

124
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 6: Look at this, the highest on record, up like a rocket,

125
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 6: almost up sixteen hundred percent.

126
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: My goodness, gracious.

127
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 6: So if the idea was to distract from the Epstein

128
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 6: Files and focus and focus the American people on something else.

129
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 6: It has been a success.

130
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: That wasn't the idea. Greenland is about Greenland and Epstein

131
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: is about Epstein. But when you are in the media business,

132
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: well you might as well throw in a conspiracy theory,

133
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: because lord forbid, we actually have an honest conversation in

134
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: America regarding the safety and security of the nation by

135
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: that metric.

136
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 5: But we don't know if that was the goal here.

137
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 5: But if it was, if it was, if it was, now,

138
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: how is saying focus on Greenland opposed to the Epstein

139
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 5: Files in terms of focusing on an issue that's good

140
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 5: for you?

141
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

142
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 6: Okay, So if this was the idea, right, well, it's

143
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 6: a bad idea politically speaking. Why do I say that

144
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 6: because take a look here. Trump's not approp rating on

145
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 6: the Epstein Files. Look at that, just absolutely awful, thirty

146
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 6: eight points below water. But any try to buy Greenland

147
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 6: is somehow even more unpopular. Look at this, it's forty

148
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 6: points below water. There is barely an issue out there

149
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 6: that's worse for Donald Trump than the Epstein Files. But

150
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 6: any attempts to buy Greenland or use military force on

151
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 6: Greenland which even polls worse than this.

152
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: Is one of them.

153
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 6: It is arguably the most unpopular thing that Donald Trump

154
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 6: can try to do is mess with Greenland.

155
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Seems to me that the American people don't quite understand

156
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: what it is that they're actually responding to. This doesn't

157
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: tell me that buying Greenland is a bad idea. Buying

158
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: Greenland is an absolutely excellent idea, a fine idea. The

159
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: pseudo intellectual wants to pretend it's not a good idea.

160
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: That's why they're pseudo intellectuals. And I have no intention

161
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: of paying attention to them. Why don't they pay attention

162
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: to our reality and encroaching Russia and encroaching China. Greenland

163
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: is closer to the United States than Greenland is to Denmark,

164
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: and Greenland is part of the Danish territory. It is

165
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,479
Speaker 1: the United States that has protected the world's order, including

166
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: all of Europe, since World War II. And in order

167
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: to ensure American safety, never mind European safety, you need

168
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: the United States to have control of Greenland. So China

169
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: and Russia don't have control of Greenland. So we have

170
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: over the rise in capabilities, and we can launch subs

171
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: and other military craft with ease into the Arctic and

172
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: throw any attempt at European lives or American lives. Can

173
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: I help you? I did that in less than thirty seconds.

174
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: I did what CNN and MSNBC, I'm sorry, miss Now

175
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: or whatever the hell they call themselves, and The New

176
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: York Times of the Washington Post refused to do. I

177
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: engaged a conversation that leftists won't even listen to because

178
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: they don't know how to listen. What they want to

179
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: do is be angry twenty four to seven, three sixty five.

180
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: Trump wants it and must be bad. Trump said, don't

181
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: take too many Thailandol when you're pregnant, and pregnant women

182
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: starting downing thailandol like it was I don't know what

183
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: pregnant women take, but like one of those things. Pregnant

184
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: women were downing Thailandol like suburban housewives were downing box wine.

185
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: It was just non stuff. If they had a crazy

186
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: straw on a funnel, they couldn't have downed more tail

187
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: and all. When Trump said, hey, here's what some data

188
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: showing us, and the data, by the way, does show

189
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: we had doctor Malone on this show discussing this very issue.

190
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: Don't know what even they're talking about. You want me

191
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: to believe polling that shows that buying Greenland is more

192
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: unpopular than the handling of the Epstein files. When if

193
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: I were to take the same poll of these same

194
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: people and ask them to name for me fifteen presidents

195
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: of the United States after three, they would fall down

196
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: and cry. With all due respect, Harry, I know I'm

197
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: not debating your utilization of the number. Meaning I don't

198
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: debate that you came up with these numbers, that you

199
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: have found these numbers. I am saying that your analysis

200
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: of the number seems to be flawed, and it's flawed

201
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: because we never asked the question these people. Do they

202
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: understand what we're trying to do. Do we understand the

203
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: history and how Greenland has been There's been attempts to

204
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: acquire it in the past, neither here nor there no

205
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: military venture to get Greenland. So now we can stop

206
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: talking about that, right, can't we. There are things that

207
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: won't poll well, doesn't mean you don't do them. There

208
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: are things that won't poll well with an electorate that

209
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: might not understand the totality of the conversation. Doesn't mean

210
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: you don't go forward. Tony, are you claiming that Americans

211
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: are dumb. No, I'm not the left. I am claiming

212
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: that without telling me how you explained the position to

213
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: the subject that you are polling. Don't ask me to

214
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: buy into the numbers, and don't ask me to accept

215
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: numbers if progressives were polled, when they have shown themselves

216
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: on subject after subject after subject to not be willing

217
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: to engage the possibility at all, they have no mind

218
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: to have an open mind, and when no open mind

219
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: has had, no information can get through, and therefore no

220
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: results will ever be properly, properly explained. President Trump's trip

221
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: to Davos was something else because he was unkind. You

222
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: Europeans are doing it wrong. We're doing it great. You

223
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: guys did this. You're not doing this right. There's a

224
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: mass migration problem, you have an economic problem. You're not

225
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: taking care of your own safety and security. Here I

226
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: am bailing you out once again. You don't even say

227
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: thanks like it's one. It was direct, and it was rough,

228
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: direct and rough. And I think that Trump gets in

229
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: his own way sometimes it is sometimes his own worst enemy.

230
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: But his case for Greenland, we protected it once before.

231
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: You guys have not put any money into its protection.

232
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: We'll protect it once again, but we have to own it.

233
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: His actual argument is, we can't even lease it. You

234
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: can't protect something you lease. You gotta protect something you own.

235
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: What do I think is coming a deal that will

236
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: partition part of Greenland in a couple of bases to

237
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: the United States for considerable fee and I think a

238
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: very worthwhile investment. The Left wants to make this a story.

239
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: Left will make anything a story as long as they

240
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: can say Trump bad. We have to rely on rational

241
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: people to say, not such a bad idea. We have

242
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: to engage a continual conversation about this in ways that

243
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: are outside of CNN and the New York Times. There's

244
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with saying we want Greenland, and just like

245
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: we discussed, the deal is gonna get made for it.

246
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: So what is everybody freaking out for? The polling doesn't matter,

247
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't This polling won't affect the midterms. That thing

248
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: that I just shared Greenland, that might I'll explain. Keep

249
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: it here. I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Kats Today.

250
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: One of the things that came out of Davos and

251
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: President Trump's conversations is that the Europeans decided that they

252
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: were going to suspend the trade deal. And you say

253
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: to me, they're gonna do what now, They're gonna suspend

254
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: the trade deal. Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, good to

255
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: be with you. I'm gonna get to that in just

256
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. I spoke with doctor Mattwell, economists at

257
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: the University of Indianapolis about this. How in the world,

258
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: Why in the world would Europe pulled from something that

259
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: is so beneficial to them because they're the ones who

260
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: wants to make this deal. One of the things that

261
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: is working is that China seems to be buying soybeans,

262
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: which great news for our farmers. Certainly it needs to

263
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: keep up. China had made a deal with the United

264
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: States to purchase twenty five million metric tons of soybeans

265
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: each year for three years to date. In this year,

266
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: they've fulfilled their initial commitment to buying twelve million metric

267
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 1: tons of the soybeans. The argument has been that you've

268
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: got tariffs that get implemented for things outside of trade. So,

269
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: for example, a twenty five percent tarif in any country

270
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: that buys from Iran. Now China buys from Iran, so

271
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: you're there to try and help the Iranian people. And

272
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: where are we with this? The Iranian people are are

273
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: pro testing, the Ratian people are fighting back, and now

274
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we've got radio silence. Trump said,

275
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: help is on its way. Where all I know is

276
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps took the streets

277
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: and said we will kill anybody who gets on the streets.

278
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: So now these people are once again prisoners in their

279
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: own homes. The iotola is going to survive. This is

280
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: this what I'm hearing. This was the hottest story last week,

281
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: and now we forget that it's happening. Help is on

282
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: its way, the President said, So where's the help? But

283
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: if China now is hit with another twenty five percent tariff,

284
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: how do they afford the soybeans? That is a legitimate question.

285
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: And I stated at the time and still state that

286
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: these tariffs like this on Iran are meant to apply

287
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: pressure but really does not affect the regime at all.

288
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't affect the regime. It affects the people because

289
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: now it'll be harder and harder and harder to get

290
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: goods in and they already are having a hard enough time.

291
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: You just need to help them get rid of the iyatola,

292
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: help them get rid of the hardliners, help them get

293
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: to a place where they're in control of their own destiny.

294
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: So it is an interesting step that the Chinese are

295
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: actually honoring an agreement that doesn't happen all the time.

296
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: It's a real issue if other tariffs do indeed create

297
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: an issue, But then again, who knows if they'll actually

298
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: get applied on Tony cap Just a reminder that the

299
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: fraud is everywhere. I caught this story over at news

300
00:19:52,240 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: Nation and it discussed how main the state of Maine

301
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: has a building, an office building that houses ten healthcare

302
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: firms and no one sees anybody. The landlords are reported

303
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: as saying, the only time we see people is once

304
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: a month when they hand us a check for their rent.

305
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: Did I say hello, Tony Kats live streaming YouTube dot

Speaker 1: the good people in the chatroom and they're fun and

311
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: you can hang out with them. One Portland office building

312
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: houses ten home healthcare businesses. It's half the building's tenants,

313
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: and the landlord doesn't see them but once a month.

314
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: I am happy that there have been charges brought in

315
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota regarding the fraud. I am mortified by the reality

316
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: that this subject is no longer on the front page.

317
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: Did the fraud suddenly go away? Is everything now safe

318
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: and secure and finished and taken care of? No? No, no, no, no, no,

319
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: no no no. This fraud is nationwide. Now, maybe that

320
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: takes a message away from some people who want to say, oh,

321
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: look at those Somalis, all those terrible Somalis, all those

322
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: awful Somalis. That would be people from Somalia. First, no

323
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: one can deny that there have been a tremendous number

324
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: of people from Somalia engage in a whole lot of fraud. Second,

325
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: no one can deny that's very obvious that people come

326
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: to the United States Amalia, settled in Minneapolis in Saint

327
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: Paul and have no interest in an American way of

328
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: life and no interest in America. We have done a

329
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: very poor job in our vetting of who we allow

330
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: in the country. And it is also very obvious that

331
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: that is impossible to say of the totality of people

332
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: who have come to the United States from Somalia. It

333
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: is acceptable to say, until we have a better system

334
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: for allowing people in from Somalia, we cannot allow anybody

335
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: else in from Somalia. There are nations and societies and

336
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: cultures incompatible with Western civilization. And if you are not

337
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: willing to engage in the great melting pot that we are, well,

338
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: then we'll find people who are. If you want everything

339
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: about where you were from to be everything here, you

340
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: should have just stayed where you were. But you came here,

341
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: and you have to do it our way, and we

342
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: should be outrageously forciful about that, because our way works.

343
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: This is one of the hardest lessons the Left has.

344
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: They cannot come to grips with that our way works

345
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: in their way doesn't. And that's why they came here.

346
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: When my grandparents escaped Poland in the thirties, the only

347
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: reason they did so is because our way worked and

348
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: their way didn't. Now, their way involved Hitler and dead Jews,

349
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: But you get my points. Sometimes it's that extreme. Sometimes

350
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: it's a different extreme, maybe even less extreme. But our

351
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: way works in your way doesn't. I'm not apologizing for that.

352
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: You gotta do it our way. I didn't say you

353
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: couldn't keep culture with you. My mother still speaks Yiddish.

354
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: I have been practicing. I'm not great at it. I'm

355
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: not great at understanding every word. I am pretty good

356
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: at understanding the tenor of the conversation. Like I know

357
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: when the Yiddish is being directed at me, I know

358
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: when I'm the one being yelled at. Ten thousand percent

359
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: speak Spanish, speak, French speak to gallig have a style

360
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: of dress, and have a culture. Now, a style of

361
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: dress is far different than whether or not you cover

362
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: your face for a driver's license, because the answer there

363
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: is no, Well, it's our religious practice. Yeah, I don't care.

364
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: It's a driver's license, and the driver's license says show

365
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: your face. But moreover, never once believed, and I don't

366
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: believe that the vast majority of people believe that you

367
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: should leave tenants of your history behind. But how we

368
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: act here is how we act here. Now how you

369
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: act in your house. Oh, it's a different thing. Oh,

370
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: so people have to hide. I didn't say that either.

371
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: I am fully aware that Italians came to the United States,

372
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: and it certainly wasn't easy. It's never easy when any group.

373
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: We want to talk about a group and mass coming

374
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: to the United States, and they opened businesses, and they

375
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: interacted with people, and maybe they had a lifestyle at

376
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: home that was different than the projection that their business was.

377
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: In their business life, they engage the business. This was

378
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: true of Jews, this is true of all hows to people,

379
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: maybe in their home life things were different, a little

380
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: more like the old Country. I cannot tell you what

381
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: goes on in people's houses right now. I can't even

382
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: tell you if it's good, whether it was Old country

383
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: or people who were already in the United States. What

384
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: I can tell you is how we interact with one

385
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: another and the following of the rules and the laws.

386
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: That has to be a standard, a cultural standard, and

387
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: a legal standard. If you want to change either one

388
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: of those things just because you're here and you think

389
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: you could do so through domination or intimidation or force

390
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: or violence, well that has to be responded to with

391
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: a greater amount of force that gets people to stop.

392
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: But it must really be responded to by saying, Okay,

393
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: those people aren't serious about being Americans. Know more of that.

394
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: We have to come up with a new system before

395
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: letting those people into the country. Italians didn't say you

396
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: have to do it the Italian way. They said, we

397
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: may do things here in this house the Italian way,

398
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: but we pay our taxes. We don't game the system.

399
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: The Irish, the Jews this that in the main could

400
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: there have been exceptions, are always exceptions. It seems that

401
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis it's a lot more than just an exception.

402
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like, That's what it feels like.

403
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: That's what the reality is showing us. My point to

404
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: you is it's not just Minneapolis. This is happening in Maine.

405
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: This is happening, as we know, in the state of

406
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: Ohio and Washington State, in California. Where is the reporting?

407
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: What did it get boring? We got to move on

408
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: to the new sexy thing. All right, that's done. We've

409
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: got enough clicks from that. Now we gotta get clicks

410
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: from something else, because you got to keep the audience

411
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: what on their toes? We have a problem. Why aren't

412
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: we fixing the problem? Why is anybody in the DOJ

413
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: not talking about this every single day? At what moment

414
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: does Pam Bondy just get fired already? Oh, Tony Trump

415
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. With all due respect, I want

416
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: to results, and at least, at the very least, we

417
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: have place after place after place across the country where

418
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: this fraud's happening. If I missed something on my tax return,

419
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 1: the IRS will already have sent me a form and

420
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: they'll start giving me penalties. Where are the charges, Where

421
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: are the public questionings, where are the arrests, Where is

422
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: any move here within the confines of our laws, because

423
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: we clearly know the laws being broken? And where is

424
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: our press to say, hey, you know this is still happening.

425
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: You say to me, Tony, it's the press. You can't

426
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: rely on them. I didn't say where's the press, I said,

427
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: where's our press? Where the hell is everybody? Where's the

428
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: latest or we're celebrating the citizen journalists, where's the citizen

429
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: journalist right now to give us the latest on what's

430
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: going on? And why aren't we amplifying it? And as

431
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: for the regular press, the old press, well we should

432
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: be asking why they want to safeguard these people, these fraudsters.

433
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: This is not a subject relegated to just some allions.

434
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: This is not a subject just relegated to Minneapolis or

435
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: to Minnesota. This is nationwide to the tune of billions

436
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 1: of billions of billions of dollars. It's obvious, and we

437
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: as a nation have managed to handle that and thrive.

438
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: Can you imagine what can happen if we're not paying

439
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: out billions and billions and billions of dollars in fraud

440
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: all around the country. The debt we can pay off

441
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: the opportunities that we can create. Remember, for every billion

442
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: dollars we're not paying to a fraudster, we can pay

443
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: off the debt for nursing students. What I pick something?

444
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: Why not we need nurses? We need nurses badly. Why

445
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: in the world should we pay these fraudsters. Why don't

446
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: we pay for the debt of nurses? And then we'll

447
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: have nurses all over the place, and we'll say you

448
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: got to serve for X number of years to or

449
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: to have the debt paid off. But the money's going

450
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: to go somewhere. That's better. We could just pay off

451
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: our debt in general, we'd be better off. We'd be

452
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: better off if we bought everybody an ice cream cone.

453
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about any kind of ice cream cone.

454
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a drumstick. In the great words of Suresy,

455
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: I'd have a stick, then we'd be onto something. It

456
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: was the biggest story anybody ever saw, and it disappeared.

457
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you should disappear. We have to be

458
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: people who are at least on the weekly. Where are

459
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: we with the fraud? Where are we with arrests? Where

460
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: are we with these cases? Where are we with charges

461
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: and pressuring politicos to do something about it? Not pose

462
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: for a camera. You can't run a country like this.

463
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: And we will remind ourselves that Doge was right from

464
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: the beginning and it needs to come back. I'm Tony Katz,

465
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: and this is Tony Katz today. The story is that

466
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: the NFL wants to go to an eighteen game season,

467
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: and Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, said,

468
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 1: eighteen games, get rid of a preseason game, so two

469
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: preseason games and every team playing once a year overseas.

470
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, you understand they think there's

471
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: so much money in the international market. They don't know

472
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: it's do with themselves. Eighteen games, then two preseason games,

473
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: so twenty games, and then the playoffs. They have to

474
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: start in August and they're going to end maybe in

475
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of March. And then there's another question, which

476
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: is eighteen games two preseason games. How many bye weeks?

477
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: Right now there's one bye week, you're adding two games,

478
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: you already added one day, you're adding another total to

479
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: how many bye weeks? Are we gonna give these guys

480
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: any chance to recover? And in these this eighteen week season,

481
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: how many turnarounds of Sunday to Thursday. Because you like

482
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: the Thursday night football because it's good money. Hey, I

483
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: like watching Thursday night football. But can these bodies take it?

484
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: You know, you take a look at all the injuries

485
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,479
Speaker 1: that we've seen in producer land in Eurosports guy if

486
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: you don't know, Pardescier Land and does a lot of

487
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: calling of local sports and a lot of PA announcing

488
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of play by playwork. Very big into racing.

489
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: So as the F one season comes and the IndyCar

490
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: season comes, we're just months away from the Indianapolis five hundred,

491
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: which I get to do the pre race for on

492
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: the track. I absolutely love it. The there's been a

493
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: lot of Achilles injuries. There's been a lot of acls

494
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: right a lot of these torn ligaments, a lot of

495
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: these issues. I often argue some people say the problem

496
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: is the field, Tony, it's it's terf I question whether

497
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: or not it's we These guys are trained too well,

498
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: they're too strong, their bodies can't keep up with it.

499
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: And what's happening on the field mixed with the training

500
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: leads to the ultimate. It leads to a destruction. The

501
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: body can't keep up with what it is that they're

502
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: able to do. Who's right, Oh, that's a good point.

503
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't know where right. So a Dodger can tell

504
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: me that I'm wrong about the physiology part. No, no, no,

505
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: the body can handle these things. I don't one hundred

506
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: percent know. But what I do know is is that

507
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: football is a pretty physical game. And you're gonna tell

508
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: these guys to play twenty games and one bye week.

509
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: Is the players Association gonna go for that? I don't

510
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: think they would. I don't think they would either land

511
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: And that's my point. So now we're stretching this thing

512
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: out even further. And does everybody have a bye week

513
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: at the same time? There's just a gap week in

514
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. Now, they wouldn't do that, and what about

515
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: television contracts? And now forget television, let's talk about the players.

516
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: The players are gonna say, you've added now a second game.

517
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: You now want me flying across the globe. You're gonna

518
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: start seeing five hundred million dollar contracts. What you're gonna

519
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: start seeing? And the players for the first time of

520
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: my life, I'm in this place. The players are gonna

521
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: have an argument. They're gonna have a legitimate argument. Look

522
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: at what you want from us, Look at what it

523
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: is you're expecting. You want more of this product on

524
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: the field. When you take a look at top watch programming,

525
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: it's all live sports, because it is just proving that

526
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: on demand is nice, but it doesn't work for everything.

527
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: Sports and sports in life is loved. Being a part

528
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: of something is being a part of something. If you

529
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: watched IU beat the University of Miami, after the game,

530
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: you still saw it, but you didn't see it the

531
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: right way. Eighteen games, two preseason. I don't know. All

532
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: I know is that seems to me the players are

533
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: gonna say, Okay, more money, please, I want to buy

534
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: with you. Otherwise I don't know. I really don't know

535
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: how they're gonna go prow with the Deal. I'm Tony Katz,
