Good day today. 19 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 4: I think we made a tremendous amount of progress even 20 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 4: from the last time I spoke to you, and I 21 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 4: apologize for keeping you waiting, but there was more work 22 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 4: to be done. 23 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 5: You know. 24 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 4: We began almost three weeks ago with a foundational document 25 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 4: that we socialized and ran by both sides and with 26 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 4: input from both sides. And one of the things that 27 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 4: happens when you've been involved in this now for ten 28 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: months is you get a pretty good sense of what 29 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 4: the priorities and the red lines and the important issues 30 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 4: are for both sides, and so that allowed us to 31 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: create a foundational document, which has been an ongoing working document. 32 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 4: In fact, over the last ninety six hours or more, 33 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 4: there's been extensive engagement with the Ukrainian side, including our 34 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 4: Secretary of the Army and others being on the ground 35 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 4: in Kiev, meeting with relevant stakeholders across the Ukrainian political 36 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 4: spectrum in the legislative branch and the executive branch and 37 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 4: the military and others to further sort of narrow these points. 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 4: We arrived here today with one goal, and the goal 39 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 4: was to take what's twenty eight points or twenty six 40 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 4: points depending on which version as it continue to evolve, 41 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: and try to narrow the ones that were open items, 42 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 4: and we have achieved that today in a very substantial way. Now, obviously, 43 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 4: like any final agreement, they'll have to be agreed upon 44 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: by the presidents, and there are a couple issues that 45 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 4: we need to continue to work on. 46 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: But I think I assume one of those issues is 47 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: land and who owns what. 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: Now. 49 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: This was a little bit confusing over the weekend because 50 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: what got reported. 51 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: Was this deal was somehow not our deal. The reporting 52 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: was was. 53 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: That this was a deal that was put forward by 54 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: the Russians kind of their wish list that according to 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: a group of centers I believe, including Senator Angus, King 56 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: of Maine, So that this idea of this of this 57 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 2: big piece deal where where Ukraine gives up the Dune Boss, 58 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: they give up to Nexkin Luhanskan, these larger parts of 59 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: of Portia, which is to say, land that Russia doesn't 60 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: even control right now, that would that would be part 61 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: of this deal. We've always said that most probably Ukraine 62 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: can not have to give up land, and that was 63 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: the plan. And then the Russians didn't come to the table. 64 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: So Trump said, well, maybe we'll be on the side 65 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: of the Ukraine and Russia will will fall apart, maybe 66 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: Ukraine will get all their land back, who knows. 67 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: And then that didn't happen, and Trump said, okay, well 68 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: then you Crane's. 69 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: Gonna give up pland but I'm gonna get a piece deal. 70 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: It's gonna get signed, and I'm gonna be out of this. 71 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say I did what I could promise, has 72 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: made promises kept. Trump is going to do exactly that. 73 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: Easier to give Ukraine to give, to get Ukraine to 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: give up plan because as Trump said accurately. 75 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: In that Oval office dust up, they don't have the cards. 76 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: It's JD. 77 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: Vance who played it wrong. It's Donald Trump who played 78 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 2: it perfectly. In that scenario. 79 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: JD. 80 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: Vance pushed back on on Vladimir's Zelenski, why haven't you 81 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: tried diplomacy? Zelenski said, We've tried everything under the sun. 82 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: What are you talking crazy for? Then then a Vance 83 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: on his heels was like, you don't even say thank you. 84 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: Then uh, Zelenski in a broken English and improperly said 85 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: you don't have to deal with the Russians, but you 86 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: will see. 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: And that's when Trump stepped in and said, you don't 88 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: talk to us like that. 89 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: And people who are maggot and people who are independage 90 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: were like, yep, you don't talk to us like that. 91 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: We're not going to take that kind of nonsense in 92 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: the Oval, not now, not once, not ever, No, no, no, no, no, no, 93 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 2: just not going to have any part from there was 94 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: the cooling off. From there was hey, Ukraine, take this deal. 95 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: From there was the meeting with Vladimir Putin, and anchorage. 96 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: From there was the meeting with the world leaders when 97 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 2: they realized, wait a second, Vladimir said these things before. 98 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin said these things before, we don't buy into 99 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: any of it. Then came the Russians saying, we didn't 100 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: listen to a thing, single thing we said to you. 101 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 2: Here we are today, Here we are today, and Marco 102 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 2: Rubio saying that things look good. 103 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 4: The report today is that I think today was worthwhile. 104 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 3: It was very, very pretty. 105 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 4: It is probably the most productive day we have had 106 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 4: on this issue, maybe in the entirety of our engagement, 107 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 4: but certainly in a very long time. But work remains, 108 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 4: and because this continues to be a working process, you know, 109 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 4: I don't want to declare victory or finality here. There's 110 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 4: still some work to be done. But we are much 111 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 4: further ahead today at this time than we were when 112 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 4: we began this morning, and where we were we could go. 113 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 3: For certain. 114 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: I'm glad that the deal is working. I'm glad that 115 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: you are ahead of where you thought you would be. 116 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 3: The question before us is whose deal is this? 117 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: Because these senators said, this is not the American deal, 118 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 2: this is a Russian wish list, to which. 119 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 3: You had. 120 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: Rubio come out and say that is absolutely not the case. 121 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: This is one thousand percent our deal. So it is 122 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: our deal to tell Ukraine to give it up. 123 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: This is over. There's a part of this that does 124 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: not compute. 125 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 2: And the part that does not come pute is the 126 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: part of US selling. 127 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 3: Weaponry to NATO. 128 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: And NATO was going to have a large play inside Ukraine. 129 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: Wasn't that the big talk? Wasn't that the big everything? 130 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: That that the that NATO was going to get involved 131 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: and there was gonna be some level of peacekeeping for us. 132 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: And Mark Root, who is the Secretary General of NATO, 133 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: was talking tough. 134 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: And and and and. 135 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: Trump's doing great here and doing great there, and they're 136 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: gonna sell us arms and we're gonna utilize this and 137 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: why isn't that happening? He doesn't, It doesn't sound like 138 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: it's happening. Did NATO talk a big game to try 139 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: and engage a pressure campaign on the Russians and then 140 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: when realizing that didn't work, they said, oh, well, we're 141 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: not going to go to Ukraine. We're still Europeans at heart, 142 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: and we're just afraid because that's what it looks like. 143 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: There was a lot of discussion. 144 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: About how NATO was going to be strong and they 145 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: were going to have this force, and now nothing. Something happened, 146 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: something changed to bring us to this place at this time. 147 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: I don't think. 148 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: That's out of the out of bounds to say. As 149 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: for whether or not I think the Ukrainians are going 150 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 2: to take this deal, I'm like you. I don't think 151 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: they have an option. I don't think they have an option. 152 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any place for them to go. 153 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: Is this a case, as is being asked on the 154 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 2: live shame of Ukraine running out of troops? 155 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 3: Certainly possible. 156 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: They can't lose as many people as the Russians can lose. 157 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: I think this is more a conversation of everybody else 158 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: running out of interest. I find it ugly to think 159 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: that we don't see as valuable the freedom and security 160 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: of Ukraine. This is not a question whether or not 161 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: Ukraine's perfect. 162 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: They're not. We don't have to even question that. 163 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: But you can't identify or you can't what's the best 164 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 2: I'm looking for? You have to accept the fact that 165 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 2: the Russians engage this. The Russians did this, the Russians invaded, 166 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 2: and now they're going. 167 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 3: To get in many ways rewarded with an invasion. 168 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: And the world said, okay, And I think there's something 169 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: really problematic about that. 170 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 3: There's something very ugly about that. 171 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: Yes, these areas in the donbask are Indeed, I'm ethnically Russian. 172 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 3: There's a reality to this. 173 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,599 Speaker 2: I don't say no, But what happened here is Vladimir 174 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 2: Putin walked in clumsily, may I add, like a giant oath, 175 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: like a baffoon, and he's going to get his wish. 176 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 3: I can't see how Ukraine's gonna walk away. Do I 177 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 3: like it? No? I do not. 178 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: I think it's ugly as can be. Sometimes his reality 179 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: is as ugly as can be. We'll see what happens next. 180 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Green resigned. 181 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: Am I supposed to get upset?

I don't 193 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 3: know about you, but the space lasers may have had 194 00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 3: something to do with it. 195 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be here, Good 196 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: to be with you. 197 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: Find everything I do over. 198 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: Tony kats dot com. I've always said of Marjorie Taylor Green, 199 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get some votes out of her that I like. 200 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 2: After that, I've got nothing. I'm not interested in her. 201 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 2: I'm not interested in having her in my house. I 202 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: don't think there's anything unique or special or intellectual about her. 203 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: Do I think that we agreed on a couple of things. Yes. 204 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,599 Speaker 3: Did I mind her saying we have to release the 205 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: Epstein files? No, not at all. 206 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: But why did the way she did it get the 207 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: ire of Trump if you will, and other people didn't. Oh, 208 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: it's the connection to Thomas Massey, the congressman from Kentucky. 209 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: Who can I share a story. 210 00:12:52,800 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 2: I have never had an issue with Thomas Massey, and 211 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: then he started having a real issue with Israel, and 212 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: I thought he was just wrong. You know, the argument 213 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 2: of we shouldn't be giving this much foreign aid, Well 214 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 2: that's a standard for him. He was getting into the 215 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: ugly and I didn't understand why he was doing it. 216 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 2: Didn't make any sense that this is what happens when 217 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 2: you follow these bots that talk about, oh look what's 218 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 2: happening in Gaza. None of them are from in Gaza. 219 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 3: They're all lies. 220 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 2: And that has been outed as of the last couple 221 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 2: of days, and it's only showing more and more how 222 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: much nonsense is happening on social media, how bs the 223 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: influence is, and the unbelievably susceptible fools who buy into 224 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: this stuff. You'll be able to follow them on social media, 225 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 2: especially on Twitter X, because they're the people who send 226 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: me such unbelievably stupid comments. Massy recently announced that his wife. 227 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: Passed away. 228 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 2: Awful, awful, awful story this was. Was it brain cancer? 229 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: I believe it was. It was a very long drawn 230 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: out story, and certainly felt awful for him. 231 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 3: Then it got announced that a year later he got remarried. 232 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: He was married to his first wife for thirty one years, 233 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: and a year later he got remarried. As just I'm 234 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: gonna put it out there, and people do things the 235 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: way they do them, and morning is different, and the 236 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: way they view their lives are different. I have no 237 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: capacity to understand this at all. I don't have to. 238 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: I'm saying I don't have to. It's an aside. I 239 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 2: don't understand how this happens. I didn't say people don't 240 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: get remarried. I don't have an opposition to remarrye. I 241 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: don't live their lives. I don't know what it is 242 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: that moves them. I just simply kind of get my 243 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: arms around it. No, I don't have to, but yes, 244 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: I would like to understand it, because it looks odd 245 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: as all get out. Thomas Massey. I just hope the 246 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: man's happy. I just wish the guy wasn't so angry 247 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: about everything. And his Israel position is pathetically ignorant, so 248 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: is that of Marjorie Taylor Green, because they are not 249 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 2: making an argument about the idea of what's best for 250 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: the United States. They're making an anti argument that somehow 251 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: it's about them. And I always took that as a 252 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: pathetic and bad argument. Marjorie Taylor Green wasn't an intellectual 253 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: on this. She was Candace Owen's light, which I just 254 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: realized is gonna be taken in a bunch of different ways. 255 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 3: And I meant not as impactful. Oh, there's going to 256 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: be a lot of emails. 257 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 6: Just so many Americans are used by the political industrial 258 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 6: complex of both political parties election cycle after election cycle, 259 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 6: in order to elect to whichever side can convince Americans 260 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 6: to hate the other side more, and the results are 261 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 6: always the same. No matter which way the political pendulum swings, 262 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 6: Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common 263 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 6: American man or woman. 264 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of people who can buy 265 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: into that, believe that. 266 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: Share in that that this what we see in Congress 267 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: often doesn't get us anywhere. It doesn't amount to anything. 268 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: We don't gain value. We're utilized as the pawns. And 269 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: that's that. Well, that would be a worthy statement. And 270 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: then you say, and that's why being in Congress is 271 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: not helpful. I'd rather try and being impactful from the outside. 272 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: And that's why I'm going to resign. So she said 273 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 2: all that in thirty seven seconds. She then has another 274 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 2: nine plus minutes of just bothering you. 275 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 6: The debt goes higher, corporate and global interests remain Washington's sweethearts. 276 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 6: American jobs continue to be replaced, whether it's by illegal 277 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 6: labor or legal labor, by visas or just shipped overseas. 278 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 6: Small businesses continue to be swallowed by big corporations. Americans 279 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 6: hard earned tax dollars always fund foreign wars, foreign aid, 280 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 6: and foreign interest, and the spending power of the dollar 281 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 6: continues to decline. The average American family can no longer 282 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 6: survive on a single breadwinner's income, as both parents have 283 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 6: to work in order to simply survive. And today many 284 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 6: in my children's generation feel hopeless for their future and 285 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 6: don't think they will ever realize the American dream. 286 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: Now, I'll get into a whole thing about gen Z, 287 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: but all right, you've laid this out, now what? 288 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 3: And that breaks my heart. 289 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 6: I ran for Congress in twenty twenty and have fought 290 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 6: every single day, believing that make America great again meant 291 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 6: America first. I have one of the most conservative voting 292 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 6: records in Congress, defending the First Amendment, Second Amendment, unborn 293 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 6: babies because I believe God creates life at conception, and 294 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 6: I love to fight for the little guy, strong safe borders. 295 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: I have fought hard for that. 296 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 6: I've fought against COVID tyrannical insanity and mandated mass vaccinations. 297 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 6: And I've never voted to fund foreign wars with your 298 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 6: harder and tax dollars. 299 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: And that's how it goes for another eight plus minutes, 300 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 2: her with a litany of I've done everything right and 301 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: everybody else has done everything terrible. Now it gets a 302 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 2: little deeper in spots where she says, so Trump no 303 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: longer loves me, He's not going to endorse me. What 304 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 2: do you want me to do? Run for office? Where 305 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 2: Trump spends millions of dollars against me, and then I win, 306 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: and I now have to defend him against impeachment from 307 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 2: the Democrats when they get control of the House. 308 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 3: Which they will. I'm not being a part of that. 309 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 2: She spent over nine minutes creating a video that could 310 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: have been done in forty five seconds, and she wants 311 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 2: you to feel bad for her. That's a huge part 312 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: of this. That's only one part. Morris coming up bum 313 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: Tony Kats. 314 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 7: In March of twenty twenty four.

Interest rates are down, 337 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 7: and now we are starting to see affordability. The prices 338 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 7: get better. We had a very big October for home sales. 339 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 7: Energy prices, gasoline is down, we saw. 340 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 3: We believe healthcare is going to come down. 341 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 7: We will see an announcement this coming week on that, 342 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 7: and so across the board, prices are starting to come down. 343 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 7: We're having Thanksgiving week. This will be the lowest cost 344 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 7: for Thanksgiving dinner in four years. 345 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: You got to stop it with the Thanksgiving dinner stuff. 346 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: No one believes that one at all. You sound ridiculous. 347 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 2: You sound like Joe Biden saying, look at how much 348 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: we've reduced the cost of your Fourth of July barbecue. 349 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 2: First all, it's independence cent fourth of July. Secondly, it 350 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: was like eighteen cents. Don't do that to people. It's 351 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: a mistake. I am Scott Bessens. I know heard me 352 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 2: on Sean Spicer's show talk about him and the messaging. 353 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: I know this because I was told this. It happened. 354 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: You know, I talked about Steve Bannon playing the clip 355 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: and Steve Bannon with the nonsense insult calling me a 356 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: stock Republican. 357 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 3: Sound ridiculous, Steve, ridiculous. I'm embarrassed for you on that one. 358 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: Good gosh, and I deserved better, Steven, but I know 359 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 2: that Besson heard it. 360 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 3: I will not. 361 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: In any way take credit for the idea of Besson 362 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: talking more about these things. I think I was correct 363 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: that he wasn't getting aggressive enough in the messaging about 364 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 2: costs coming down about what it is we're dealing with, 365 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 2: about the things that they're doing. 366 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 3: And why they're working. 367 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: You cannot tell people things are getting better. You have 368 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: to show them in their pocket book how things are better. 369 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: That's reality. So Besson's can lecture with his perfectly pressed 370 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: suits and well nodded full windsor all he chooses. Is 371 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: it costing me less for my insurance? Is it costing 372 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 2: me less for gas? Is it costing me less for milk? Now, 373 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 2: it's not yet costing me less for insurance. It's a 374 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: real problem. It is absolutely costing me less for gas. 375 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 2: Talk about that it is not yet. 376 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 3: At all costing you less for milk. 377 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 2: Don't sell Americans on something that is not happening. Don't 378 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: do it. It's a nonsense, ridiculous. 379 00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: Thing to do. 380 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 2: Now, there was an interesting thing about healthcare there where 381 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: it's rumored that Trump is going to come forward. 382 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 3: With a plan. 383 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 2: To rethink the Affordable Care Act. The subsidies are going 384 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 2: to expire at the end of the year. They don't 385 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 2: seem to in certain ways be coming back. They may 386 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 2: call the vote on this. I don't think the vote's 387 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 2: going to pass. And people who get Obamacare are going 388 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 2: to pay a higher price, And of course the Democrats 389 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 2: are going to utilize that. And they've already told you 390 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: they don't care. I people pay a higher price. They 391 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: don't care if kids starve. Democrats don't care if kids starve. 392 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: They don't they it's they're fine by that as long 393 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: as they get if it gets them power. Let the 394 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: kids starve, let them not eat cake, I believe, is 395 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 2: what Representative Costio Cortez I would say. 396 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: At this moment. So the plan. 397 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: As is described is something called the Healthcare Price Cuts Act, 398 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: and the idea. 399 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 3: Is that why. 400 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: Does money flow to these subsidies, to hospitals and others, 401 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: why can't it flow. 402 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 3: Back to the people now. 403 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: As a matter of just course, I object to all 404 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: this stuff vehemently, because I object to Obamacare vehemently. 405 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 3: I object the Chief Justice John Roberts. But I can't 406 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 3: go back in time. 407 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 2: The idea that we would pay the government that we 408 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: let them take our money through the most obscene concept, 409 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: which is the income tax, which has the federal government 410 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 2: being my partner in the utilization of my labor. 411 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 3: That's what it is. I offer up my labor, someone 412 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 3: pays for my labor. 413 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: Why the hell is the government a silent partner in 414 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:11,719 Speaker 2: my labor? 415 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 3: Well, Tony, the country has to run. 416 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 2: Screw that a million ways we can make that done. 417 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: I'm asking a different question. My labor belongs to me. 418 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: I utilize it as I see fit. There is a 419 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: value for it, and people then compete for that value. 420 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 2: And you also have to be able to make money 421 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 2: for your partners, which I do in great measure. Why 422 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 2: is the government involved in that contract. They don't deserve 423 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: any part of my income. Screw them, every member of Congress, 424 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 2: every member of the executive branch, every member of the judiciary. 425 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 3: I don't give a damn. 426 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 2: They don't deserve any part of my income. That is 427 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: an affront. I now become an appendage, a slave if 428 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 2: you will, of their desires. 429 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 3: But if you engage taxes. 430 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 2: On goods, well I could choose whether or not I 431 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 2: buy the good. I can choose whether or not the 432 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: choice is worth the squeeze. I have no issue with this. 433 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 2: If states charge an income tax. 434 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 3: I have no issue. I don't like it. 435 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 2: I might leave a state. I would go to a 436 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: state that maybe has a lower income tax. But states 437 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 2: have rights. 438 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 3: Federal government has no right to charge an income tax. 439 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: To hell with them, and anybody thinks like them not interested, 440 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: don't want to hear it? Well tony, you don't want 441 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: to find the government. Well Tony, you don't care about 442 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 2: these people who whoa My labor is mine, and if 443 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: anybody thinks they're entitled to a part of it, I say, 444 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: let's fight. I'm talking about Jackson's shark style. I'm sorry, 445 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: am I the first person ever to explain it like this? 446 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 2: Because there's no way possible. I'm the first person ever 447 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: to explain it like this, if only because I know 448 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 2: that Reason magazine exists, So there's just no way. 449 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 3: I'm the first guy. But that's the fundamental issue. 450 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 4: I have. 451 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 2: The idea that the government takes our money and now 452 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: is going to dole it back to us, and we're 453 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 2: supposed to say thank you. 454 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 3: Ooh who. 455 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:28,239 Speaker 2: Despicable? Despicable. But let's hold off on that, just for 456 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 2: a moment to understand what is being discussed here. Terminate 457 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 2: what the White House refers to a surprise premium hikes 458 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: generated by the ACA. Eliminate zero premium subsidies currently offered 459 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: under the Affordable Care Act Obamacare, which would stop ghost beneficiaries, 460 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 2: you know, fraudulent policies and things like that. Take the 461 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: money that would go to all of these groups and 462 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: give it back to the people. I haven't done enough 463 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 2: looking in, I haven't done enough research, I haven't done 464 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: enough talking to people who know more about this than 465 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 2: I do. There are two questions to be asked in 466 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 2: this conversation, which is true of all economic conversations. Number One, 467 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 2: are we talking about a conversation? Are we talking about 468 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: something you can make real? Can you get Thomas Massey 469 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: to vote for it? 470 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 3: Meaning? 471 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 2: Can you get it past the House? Can you get 472 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: it past the Senate? You're going to change Obamacare? Fundamentally, 473 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 2: Democrats are going to scream you're killing Grandma now. 474 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 3: Unless you're willing. 475 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 2: To tell those Democrats to shut their mouths, you dirty freaks. 476 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 3: Unless you're willing to walk up. 477 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 2: To Chuck Schumer while he's doing an interview with CNN 478 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: and say Chuck, you are a lying freak. To hell 479 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: with you and your whole family. You also don't know 480 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: how to make a cheeseburger, shut it and then walk away. 481 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: You've got a problem. You got to be able to 482 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 2: fight that fight properly to be able to. 483 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 3: Get the vote. 484 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: Secondly, what is the immediate result? What's the immediate result 485 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 2: for the for that American citizen? What is the immediate 486 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 2: results overall? Do people all of a sudden see a 487 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 2: lowering of healthcare costs so they can then say Trump 488 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 2: and Republicans lowered healthcare costs.

I thought these 657 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 2: were people who sacrificed everything in service of their country, 658 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 2: just like you. 659 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 3: Guess not guess that's not the case. 660 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 2: I guess when when you're a Republican, your service for 661 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 2: the nation doesn't matter, or you can be as absolutely 662 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 2: ignorant as Senator Alissa Slotkin, who, when asked about this 663 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 2: by Martha Raddicks, Oh, I should give the warning right 664 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 2: now if you're driving hands on ten and two.

People. Is not an excuse. 682 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 11: If you look at popular culture, there's like you watch 683 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,720 Speaker 11: you know a few good men like We have plenty 684 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 11: of examples since World War Two in Vietnam where people 685 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 11: were told to follow illegal orders and they did it 686 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 11: and they were prosecuted for it. 687 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 3: Your argument, let's slock him. 688 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 2: For making a video usurping the duly elected president of 689 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 2: the United States, for putting the idea out there that 690 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 2: the commander in chief should not be listened to that 691 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 2: he's engaging illegal orders. Is a code read from Colonel Jessup. 692 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 2: Kevin Pollack wouldn't have needed Tom Cruise. He could have 693 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 2: found you guilty. He could have found you guilty and 694 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 2: had time to have done. 695 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 3: Grumpy old men three, I don't think there was a 696 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 3: grumpy old man. Three. There was a grumpy old man 697 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 3: and a grumpy old man. 698 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 2: I don't think there was a third one. The best 699 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 2: you could do is a few good men. You said 700 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 2: that Trump was issuing illegal orders. 701 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 3: Well, Tony, they didn't say that. 702 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 2: What you were saying is Trump issues illegal orders, and 703 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 2: everybody in America saw it, and everybody in America heard it, 704 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 2: and no one, no one should think that this is okay. 705 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 2: This brings us to the statement from the Secretary of 706 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 2: War Pete Hegseth. 707 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 3: This statement reads. 708 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 2: That the video made by the Seditious six was despicable, reckless, 709 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 2: and false. Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of 710 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 2: their commanders undermines every aspect of good order and discipline. 711 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 3: That's accurate. 712 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 2: He goes on to state their foolish screeds sows doubt 713 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 2: and confusion, which only puts our warriors in danger. Five 714 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,760 Speaker 2: of the six individuals in that video do not fall 715 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 2: under the Department of War jurisdiction. One is CIA, and 716 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 2: four are former military but not retired, so they are 717 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 2: no longer subject to the UCMJ. However, Mark Kelly, retired 718 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 2: Navy commander, is still subject to the Uniform Code of 719 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 2: Military Justice, and he knows that, which brings us to 720 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 2: the store about the Pentagon, which is now threatening to 721 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 2: court martial Senator Mark Kelly. They may call on Mark Kelly, 722 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 2: they may call him back to active duty and therefore 723 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 2: face court martial proceedings or other administrative actions under the 724 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 2: Uniform Code of Military Justice. The departments saying, quote, this 725 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 2: matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring 726 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 2: due process and impartiality. Good. Good, in every single way. Good. 727 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 2: I did not serve. I did not serve in the military. 728 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 2: Someone on social media was saying, you were too afraid, 729 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 2: and I said, what kind of stupid nonsense is that? 730 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 3: It is of disappointment in my life, not that I didn't. 731 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 2: Serve that my earlier days, my younger days were engaged 732 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 2: in depression and confusion and sadness kept me from a 733 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 2: whole bunch of things, and a whole bunch of opportunities, 734 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 2: and a whole bunch of thoughts of what could have 735 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 2: been opportunities. Military was never ever in the cards for me. Ever, 736 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,240 Speaker 2: back then, there would have been no way to see 737 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 2: that one through. 738 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 3: There would been no capacity for me to handle that. 739 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 2: That is to not to my shame, just the reality 740 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 2: of what it was for me. I know that people 741 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 2: joined the military. I knew there was a military. 742 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:48,280 Speaker 3: Certainly. 743 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 2: I had parents who had no interest in me going 744 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 2: down that road and never entertained it with me. I 745 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 2: will tell you exactly what I told my children. If 746 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 2: you told me you want to join the Navy, we'd 747 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 2: have a conversation about it. If you told me you 748 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 2: wanted to join the Army, we'd have a different conversation 749 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 2: about it. If you told me you wanted to join 750 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 2: the Marines, we'd have a really different conversation about it. 751 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 2: These are different worlds than I come from, and you've 752 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 2: got to understand what it is you're getting into and 753 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 2: how these things are different, and what it is you're 754 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 2: signing up for, because there is no out, there is 755 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 2: only through. But I would not have objected. I still 756 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 2: would not object. The military is better off that they 757 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 2: didn't have to deal with me. I would have been 758 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 2: better off not having such a level of depression in 759 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 2: my childhood into my early adulthood and having figured it 760 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 2: out later and found a better way later in life. 761 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 3: I am just thankful I found a better way. You 762 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 3: want to call it an excuse, I'm giving you reality 763 00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 3: you don't want to buy it. I can't do anything 764 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:00,040 Speaker 3: about that. 765 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 2: There were people at a younger age, far more equipped 766 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:04,800 Speaker 2: for what this nation. 767 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 3: Needed than I did. 768 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 2: And good on them, Good on them for answering the call. 769 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 2: Mark Kelly deserves no love now, no harm should come 770 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 2: to him from any citizen. All that stuff is madness 771 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 2: and nonsense, and the swatting and everything else. It's ridiculous, 772 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,359 Speaker 2: it's disgusting. It isn't how we do things. I have 773 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 2: a ballot box. I can do this without all the 774 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 2: things that disastrous nations have to go through. 775 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 3: But being charged. Hell yes, hell yes, I favor it. 776 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,280 Speaker 2: I favor Mark Kelly having to deal with the consequences 777 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,799 Speaker 2: of his actions. He wants to lecture to us about 778 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 2: how he upholds a code and then does not uphold 779 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 2: the code. 780 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,439 Speaker 3: He should have to live by it. 781 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 2: Someone in the chat says, but you're advocating for regular 782 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,879 Speaker 2: Americans to go to war while you sit at home 783 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,319 Speaker 2: telling us propaganda. First of all, nothing I have said 784 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 2: is propaganda. It is a point of view. If you 785 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 2: don't like it, you don't have to listen. Secondly, advocating 786 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 2: for regular Americans to go to war, you mean soldiers 787 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 2: when the moment does call for it, And the answer 788 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:35,839 Speaker 2: is yes, I advocate when the moment calls for it, 789 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 2: for us to engage a fighting force of full and 790 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 2: outright lethality, to destroy the enemy until the enemy is 791 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 2: quite literally dead. Can I ask what's wrong with you 792 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,840 Speaker 2: that you don't I did not say that we should 793 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 2: go to war for as the Constitution would describe with 794 00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 2: the Constitution Declaration, Sorry, light and transient causes. I don't 795 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 2: believe in that. But when the moment comes, the answer 796 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,840 Speaker 2: is we send other people's children to fight. 797 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 3: That's the way it goes. 798 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,760 Speaker 2: You don't understand that you would not have won World 799 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 2: War two, you would not have won anything. You would 800 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 2: still be a subject of the king. It's time for 801 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,800 Speaker 2: grown ups, and time for Senator Mark Kelley, and I 802 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 2: believe all the rest who should resign in shame to 803 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 2: have to deal with the consequences of their despicable actions. 804 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 2: Let's see what the Pentagon does. This is Tony Kats today. 805 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,359 Speaker 2: So what in the world just happened to James Comy case, Well, 806 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what needs to happen. I'll say it again. 807 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 2: I put everything on Pam BONDI really disappointed Tony Kats. 808 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 3: Tony Kats today. Great to be here, great to be 809 00:51:58,440 --> 00:51:58,719 Speaker 3: with you. 810 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,240 Speaker 2: Judge by the name of Cameron Curry, who was appointed 811 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 2: by Bill Clinton, dismissed the cases not only against James Comy, 812 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,879 Speaker 2: but against Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York. 813 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 3: They were. 814 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 2: Dismissed without prejudice. They can be refiled. These people can 815 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 2: be reindicted, and that's going to happen. Comy indicted for 816 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 2: lying right saying he never leaked things to the press 817 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 2: when he did. Letitia James for lying about how she 818 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 2: got mortgages, this fraud. 819 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 3: That's my take. The argument is. 820 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:49,239 Speaker 2: About the US attorney in question, Lindsay Halligan, and the 821 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 2: argument is that she was appointed improperly. That she was 822 00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 2: appointed improperly meant that when the indictment took place, she 823 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 2: was not actually the attorney in charge for the Eastern 824 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 2: District of Virginia, and therefore the indictments themselves are invalid. 825 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,240 Speaker 2: She has been unlawfully serving in a role since September 826 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five, so therefore she could not have 827 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 2: moved forward to engage the indictment against either one. Now 828 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:32,480 Speaker 2: there's a conversation about whether or not what is the 829 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 2: proper terminology here. The statue limitations with James Comey is 830 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:43,280 Speaker 2: involved that you won't be able to reindict. The question 831 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 2: will be and this will be for lawyers who have 832 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 2: an understanding of these things. If an indictment came through 833 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 2: but there was some kind of technical issue, does that 834 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:04,320 Speaker 2: indictment date? Can another indictment be brought with a fixing 835 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,320 Speaker 2: of the snapoo and fits into that timeframe? 836 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,399 Speaker 3: Or is it's over, it's over, It's over, that's it. 837 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:20,160 Speaker 3: That's question. James Comy is what you never want your 838 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,360 Speaker 3: sons to become. 839 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,239 Speaker 2: You don't ever want your sons to grow up to 840 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 2: be like James Comy, this abusive, no moral compass individual daughters, 841 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 2: letitia James, You don't want to be that. Not interested 842 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 2: in doing a job, interested in engaging in vengeance to 843 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 2: win the favor of your party or some other dollar. 844 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,880 Speaker 2: But all this makes me say the buck stops somewhere. 845 00:54:54,880 --> 00:55:03,480 Speaker 2: Pam Bondy's gotta go. So it's embarrassing already can't do 846 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 2: the job. Let's find somebody who can. I'm Tony Katz. 847 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz today. So the Trump administration is 848 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:22,839 Speaker 2: denying reports of the demise of DOGE. Is that what 849 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 2: they're doing. They're saying, oh, no, no, no, everything's fine. 850 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:35,320 Speaker 2: What are you talking about. Everything's super groovy efficiency otherwise 851 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:36,240 Speaker 2: known as DOGE. 852 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 3: He is dead. Darren Botello's got the story. Capitol Hill 853 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,919 Speaker 3: working that what you find out, Darren, Good morning, Good morning, Bill. 854 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 12: As you pointed out, the administration is saying that DOGE 855 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 12: is not dead, instead saying it's decentralized and every agency 856 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 12: is working on cost cutting measures. This whole controversy started 857 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 12: with the Reuters article that was posted just about twenty 858 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,319 Speaker 12: four hours ago. Here's what he was talking about. It 859 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 12: was saying that DOGE is disbanded, eight months ahead of schedule. 860 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,600 Speaker 12: Of course, by the way, it's set to come to 861 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 12: an end in July twenty twenty six. Also in the article, Bill, 862 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 12: it says that former DOGE employees have taken new roles 863 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 12: in the administration. Scott Kapor, director of the Office of 864 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 12: Personnel Management, hitting back with this tweet, saying, in part, 865 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:23,839 Speaker 12: the truth is DOGE may not have centralized leadership under USDs, 866 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 12: but the principles of DOZE remain alive and well. Deregulation 867 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 12: eliminating fraud, waste and abuse, reshaping the federal workforce, making 868 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 12: efficiency a first class citizen. 869 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:35,240 Speaker 3: Doge good? 870 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 2: Excellent? Am I concerned? Well, sure, absolutely concerned. You know 871 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 2: you need to be focused on this. I don't need 872 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 2: a big government agency to do it. I need the 873 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:51,359 Speaker 2: work to be done. 874 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:53,960 Speaker 3: But I. 875 00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 2: Don't know if putting it in these separate places it 876 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:06,239 Speaker 2: all just Michael falls by the wayside. This brings us 877 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:12,280 Speaker 2: to MSNBC. I'm sorry, ms NOW talking about Marjorie Taylor 878 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 2: Green And if you want to understand the Republican from 879 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 2: Georgia who is resigning from Congress, well you need ms 880 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 2: NOW to explain it to you. 881 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 3: Michael, So, which is it. 882 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 8: What does her split from Trump tell us about the 883 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 8: future of MAGA. 884 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,440 Speaker 9: It tells us the MAGA coalition is collapsing. 885 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 3: She was one of the most powerful and. 886 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,480 Speaker 9: Influential voices he had in Congress. She was with him 887 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 9: since the beginning in twenty fifteen, and now she has chosen. 888 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 3: To move on. And it's not just her. 889 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,959 Speaker 9: Even outside of Congress, you have some of the most 890 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 9: powerful media voices on the right who have moved on 891 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,920 Speaker 9: from Trump, people like Joe Rogan and Tim Dillon and 892 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 9: the racist white supremacist Nick Fuintes. Those people have all 893 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 9: moved on because they have said they feel betrayed. 894 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 3: And so if I'm Donald Trump, I'm wondering what this means. 895 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 9: For me and my ability to get anything done. 896 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 2: Next, what you need is the former spokesperson of Rakim 897 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 2: Jefferies to explain it to you. That's Marjorie Taylor Green 898 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 2: to the idea she was influential. 899 00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 3: Is silly. 900 00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 2: Joe Rogan influential, and a really acceptable, worthy conversation should 901 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:35,240 Speaker 2: exist regarding why did you lose these people, these players 902 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 2: who were certainly helpful and influential and helping you winning reelection. 903 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,080 Speaker 3: It could be because you. 904 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,840 Speaker 2: Now say, hey, it's okay, I six hundred thousand Chinese 905 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 2: nationals clearly connected to the Chinese Communist Party or in 906 00:58:50,080 --> 00:59:00,240 Speaker 2: our universities. What are you possibly talking about? Can you 907 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 2: tell us that the Jeffrey Epstein files don't matter? I 908 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 2: wonder if Trump has had a little bit of understanding 909 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:11,760 Speaker 2: of what it must have been like for those so 910 00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:16,080 Speaker 2: called conservatives, some of whom are friends, who have come 911 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 2: around and all signed on to that letter over at 912 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 2: National Review saying you can't vote for Trump. 913 00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:23,440 Speaker 3: Do you remember this? 914 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,320 Speaker 2: They put out a whole issue of National Review about 915 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 2: this and I talked to National Review guys today. There's 916 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 2: some smart guys over there. This was an unbelievably bad move. 917 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:41,000 Speaker 2: Unbelievably bad move. The worst move was never Trump. The 918 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 2: people who are never Trump are the most ridiculous people 919 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 2: out there. Never Trump is a pathetic and embarrassing movement. 920 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 2: Guys like David French who are writing things I agreed 921 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 2: with and disagreed with the National Review, who decide to 922 00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 2: go never Trump and now want to play the game 923 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 2: of I don't know what these democrats said wrong. You 924 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 2: shouldn't follow I legal orders. They didn't say anything wrong. 925 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 2: Oh dear lord, what's the line? It was a billing ball. 926 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 2: Here's your sign? Like, it's just that that clear. But 927 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 2: those guys got a very rude awakening when they realized 928 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 2: they didn't have any. 929 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 3: Control over voters. 930 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,880 Speaker 2: They didn't get to decide what conservatism was or what 931 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 2: they wanted for the nation. They could only put out 932 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 2: an idea. It was up to people to decide what 933 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 2: to do with that idea and what they decided to say, 934 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 2: and they did. What they decided to say is we 935 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 2: know best, and that's not reality. Here's what I think, 936 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 2: and here is why Here's why I think it's a 937 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:48,920 Speaker 2: good idea. Here's why I think it's a bad idea. 938 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,920 Speaker 2: You've heard me talk about Tarris. I know some of 939 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 2: you disagree with me. 940 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 3: We're still friends, dear lord. 941 01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 2: And what these radio people and bloggers and television and 942 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 2: others learned is that you don't get to decide. You 943 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,840 Speaker 2: don't understand what's happening. You don't know it's like to 944 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 2: have somebody finally listen and understand us. We've been having 945 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 2: these conversations for years. I don't know if Trump has 946 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 2: begun to understand that when you said something, we took 947 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,520 Speaker 2: you at your word, and we're gonna hold you aggressively 948 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,320 Speaker 2: to your word. And we don't care what name you 949 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 2: call us. Why something we understood from the beginning, we said, 950 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 2: from the beginning, Oh, we got a whole bunch of 951 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 2: heat for it, from the beginning. I do not You 952 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 2: do not have to be loyal to Donald Trump. He 953 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:46,919 Speaker 2: has to be loyal to us. 954 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:51,800 Speaker 3: We do not work for him. He works for us. 955 01:01:54,680 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 3: When you know your place at the table, when you 956 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 3: know who you are man, the whole thing is a 957 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 3: lot easier. 958 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 2: And when you're not engaged in some Magaville insanity, idle worship, 959 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,640 Speaker 2: but rather recognize the guy who can do good and 960 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 2: has issues. 961 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 3: And Trump is a guy who can do good and 962 01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 3: has issues. 963 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 2: And Marjorie Taylor Green could not have done anything if 964 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 2: she wasn't all Trump all the time. 965 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 3: She chose idle worship. 966 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,480 Speaker 2: And the idea that this proves that the MAGA coalition 967 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,480 Speaker 2: is collapsing, what does that even mean? It means that 968 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 2: a group of Democrats on MSNBC finally have something to 969 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 2: sexually excite them. 970 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:55,200 Speaker 3: So it means there's no value in this. None. 971 01:02:55,520 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 2: Going back to Marjorie Taylor Green, though, she of course resigning, 972 01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:05,440 Speaker 2: and it is noted by a whole bunch of people 973 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 2: that her resignation comes on January fifth, twenty twenty six. 974 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 2: Why January fifth It could be, could be because the 975 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 2: Congress will be sworn in on January third.

But when you tell 1003 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 2: me about how much you love your family and you 1004 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,520 Speaker 2: love this, you love the country and you love your constituents, 1005 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,280 Speaker 2: and you did it all for the people.

So that's a that's a hard 1007 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 2: one to kind of, you know, do a math on. 1008 01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 3: But this idea that you were betrayed. 1009 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,960 Speaker 2: I if you want to play the part of useful 1010 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,720 Speaker 2: idiot Representative Green, you can, but I don't think anybody 1011 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 2: should play that part. 1012 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,920 Speaker 3: And you did. And don't worry, You're not alone. 1013 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,200 Speaker 2: There are others, whether they're in Congress or they're influencers 1014 01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 2: or whatever they are, they play the. 1015 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 3: Part of useful idiot. 1016 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,400 Speaker 2: There are only two people you agree with one hundred percent. 1017 01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,360 Speaker 2: There are only two peoples whose opinions you think are perfect, 1018 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:27,920 Speaker 2: and that is your own and Jesus and everybody else 1019 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 2: is fallible. 1020 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 3: That's reality. The man never said anything wrong a day 1021 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,600 Speaker 3: in his life. Do you know how insane that is. 1022 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:46,440 Speaker 2: I agree with everything he says all the time, really, 1023 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,400 Speaker 2: because I think that's crazy. And you sound ridiculous, And 1024 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 2: we should be clear, Marjorie Taylor Green, you sounded ridiculous. 1025 01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 2: If you had been someone who at least openly said 1026 01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,720 Speaker 2: I'm not in favor of that, right there there would 1027 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:08,440 Speaker 2: be more credibility to it. 1028 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,800 Speaker 3: But when you are shocked to learn that. 1029 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,080 Speaker 2: You disagree with the president and the president has choice 1030 01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,160 Speaker 2: things to say about you. You've never seen Donald Trump before, 1031 01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 2: You never once, I don't know, saw a video clip. 1032 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of crocodile tiers here. I 1033 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 2: think you're allowed to resign. I think you have an 1034 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:40,479 Speaker 2: interesting thing to say about how Congress works and how 1035 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 2: nothing ever gets better and the real issues there, and 1036 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,280 Speaker 2: I think that's valuable. I think you make a point 1037 01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,400 Speaker 2: about why should I run. I'm gonna win. 1038 01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:49,640 Speaker 3: I don't know if you will. 1039 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 2: Trump's has spent all this money against me, then I'm 1040 01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 2: gonna be expected to back them up. 1041 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 3: I don't want to be around that. 1042 01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 2: I think that's an argument people can actually connect with 1043 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 2: and to prove how gross it all is. I'm gonna 1044 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:07,680 Speaker 2: stay so I get my pension. I will say clearly, 1045 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,080 Speaker 2: I don't think you'll be missed.

There Keith Ellison, 1056 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 2: the guy who claimed he didn't know what Antifa was, 1057 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:51,280 Speaker 2: but there's pictures of him years ago holding the Antifa handbook. Yeah, 1058 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 2: that Keith Ellison. Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, Great to 1059 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:57,640 Speaker 2: be with you. He's the Attorney General of Minnesota. And 1060 01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:03,480 Speaker 2: the story here is that it was learned through reporting 1061 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 2: from the Manhattan Institute that Somali nationals in Minneapolis is 1062 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:16,160 Speaker 2: a very large Somali population are applying for all types 1063 01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 2: of funds that were available through things via COVID nineteen, 1064 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:26,799 Speaker 2: the Minnesota Medicaid housing stabilization, a service, something called Feeding 1065 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 2: Our Future, and they made claims of kids being autistic, 1066 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,640 Speaker 2: they made claims of this, that and the other and 1067 01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,360 Speaker 2: to get funding dollars. 1068 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 3: And then what they did is they. 1069 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:43,880 Speaker 2: Sent that money back to Somalia and Al Shahab I'm sorry, 1070 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:45,759 Speaker 2: al Shabab, I gotta pronounce correctly. 1071 01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,600 Speaker 3: The terrorist organization ended up with the money. 1072 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:54,439 Speaker 2: They funneled money back to a terrorist organization. And now 1073 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,200 Speaker 2: Trump is saying, you lose your temporary protected status. 1074 01:09:58,360 --> 01:09:59,240 Speaker 3: This is ending. 1075 01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 2: Temporary protected status is what we found in Actually we're 1076 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,679 Speaker 2: heading back in the spring Springfield, Ohio. 1077 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:09,960 Speaker 3: The Haitians are eating the dogs, eating the cats. 1078 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,599 Speaker 2: That wasn't happening, but they are eating geese, and they 1079 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 2: are terrible drivers. And the housing problem is massive. Temporary 1080 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:22,000 Speaker 2: protective status is what allowed the Haitians to stay. 1081 01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 3: And it seemed to me like it was a. 1082 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 2: Jobs programs for factories out there in Springfield, Ohio, because 1083 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:31,040 Speaker 2: now they got these workers. Tempre protected status is what 1084 01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:35,320 Speaker 2: the Biden administration utilized for specific groups, for specific purposes, 1085 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:39,799 Speaker 2: to keep them from being removed. Somehow, they deserved extra protection. 1086 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,439 Speaker 2: All the animals are equal, with some more equal than others. 1087 01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:47,600 Speaker 2: Trump is removing that and it shouldn't just be for 1088 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:53,640 Speaker 2: those in Minnesota. It should be for the nation. I 1089 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:54,680 Speaker 2: will dig more into that. 1090 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 3: Keep it here. 1091 01:10:55,880 --> 01:11:02,800 Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz Today. 1092 01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:10,760 Speaker 1: Line from Baal Hartliner and the Crossroads of America. It's 1093 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,200 Speaker 1: Tony Katz Today, Big News. 1094 01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 13: There was a filing today at the FCC by a 1095 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:22,920 Speaker 13: very renowned regal expert Brian Fitzpatrick, Vanderbilt Law School. He 1096 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 13: is a former Justice Scalia law clerk, very respected on 1097 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 13: the constitution and legal analysis, and says the FCC's plan here, 1098 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 13: which they're moving towards doing, of eliminating this TV cap 1099 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,040 Speaker 13: is illegal. It's a violation of federal law. The federal 1100 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,360 Speaker 13: law had been set and that they cannot change it. 1101 01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:43,840 Speaker 13: Only Congress can change it. 1102 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 2: So that's Chris Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax, discussing the FCC. 1103 01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,719 Speaker 3: Federal Communications Commission and. 1104 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:57,960 Speaker 2: The lifting of CAPS first station ownership Tony Katz Tony 1105 01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 2: Kats today, good to be with you. CAPS came on 1106 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,439 Speaker 2: during the Reagan years and said you can only if 1107 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,800 Speaker 2: your company owns so many types of stations radio. 1108 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 3: TV and others. You can only be in so many households. 1109 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 2: And if you own too many, because let's see, you 1110 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,120 Speaker 2: buy another group, you have to divest and sell some. 1111 01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,200 Speaker 3: You can't have total control. 1112 01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:24,040 Speaker 2: And it's an interesting argument that, well, that's not a 1113 01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,519 Speaker 2: competition argument, is it, Because if I can afford more, 1114 01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,320 Speaker 2: and if I buy more, and if I grow better 1115 01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,320 Speaker 2: because I have a better product, why. 1116 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 3: Can't I have more stations? 1117 01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 2: It's an argument of well, are we now engaged in 1118 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 2: actually providing news or is one source providing just one thing? 1119 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:44,439 Speaker 3: If everything was owned. 1120 01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,840 Speaker 2: By MSNBC, which is now called ms now and that 1121 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,759 Speaker 2: was the only news you could get, would you actually 1122 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 2: be getting news at all. So this has been the 1123 01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 2: argument and the FCC making claim that hey, we simply 1124 01:12:55,960 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 2: don't allow someone to have this much growth or or 1125 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 2: not growth but control. Well, you now have a deal. 1126 01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 2: We're Nextstar, which owns news Nation. It wants to acquire 1127 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,559 Speaker 2: a group called Tegna, and it would create a group 1128 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,000 Speaker 2: that has two hundred and forty four stations across forty 1129 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,400 Speaker 2: four states, and they would have seventy They are nearly 1130 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,759 Speaker 2: like eighty percent reach. And so there's this real argument 1131 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 2: against and Chris Ruddy of Newsmax is one of the 1132 01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,519 Speaker 2: people saying no, no, no, this is problem that you 1133 01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,800 Speaker 2: can't have them be so big. President Trump has now 1134 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:32,640 Speaker 2: jumped into this, putting on true social no expansion of 1135 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 2: the fake news networks, if anything, make them smaller. 1136 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 3: So it's Brendan Carr, who runs. 1137 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:46,759 Speaker 2: The FCC who is now thinking about allowing these caps 1138 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,680 Speaker 2: to be grown. I admit to you, I'm in a 1139 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 2: unique place of push because I think the argument for hey, 1140 01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,479 Speaker 2: this is the market and they can afford to buy X, Y, 1141 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,280 Speaker 2: and Z, why are we stopping them? 1142 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:01,000 Speaker 3: Is legit. 1143 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:08,799 Speaker 2: The conversation of this is monopoly power is equally legit. 1144 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:13,920 Speaker 2: You've got law professors at Vanderbilt, a guy who was 1145 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:18,680 Speaker 2: a clerk to Supreme Court Justice Anton's Kalia filing briefs 1146 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:22,439 Speaker 2: with the FCC saying that the FCC can't even change 1147 01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:26,400 Speaker 2: this unilaterally. You want to change these caps, it has 1148 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:31,880 Speaker 2: to happen through Congress, not through the Federal Communications Commission. Otherwise, 1149 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 2: any deal that the FCC would give a green light 1150 01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:38,639 Speaker 2: to doesn't have the express authority of Congress, who would 1151 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:42,479 Speaker 2: violate the law. What's going to come of this? I 1152 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,759 Speaker 2: don't know. Am I paying attention? 1153 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:46,719 Speaker 3: Yes? I am. 1154 01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 2: I think we all should be. I think because we're 1155 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,479 Speaker 2: in it, right. I'm in it because I'm on radio. 1156 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,320 Speaker 2: You're in it because you're a consumer of it, of radio, 1157 01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:59,519 Speaker 2: of TV, of all these things. So we're we come 1158 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,599 Speaker 2: at it maybe from different angles, but in the end, 1159 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:05,599 Speaker 2: we both have levels of interest in what happens here 1160 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 2: because our futures, financial or informational. 1161 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,400 Speaker 3: Depending on it. What is it that we want. 1162 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,960 Speaker 2: Do we want the government being able to have this 1163 01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:19,880 Speaker 2: level of control of blockage, or do we want to 1164 01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 2: ensure that there's a wide array of voices and thoughts 1165 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:28,120 Speaker 2: on the broadcast side, or does none of it matter 1166 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:31,559 Speaker 2: because everything's digital anyway? Who cares what you put out? Until, 1167 01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 2: of course we start. 1168 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,040 Speaker 3: Regulating that, Oh what, you don't think that. 1169 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 2: Conversation's happening, honey, Please, I'm Tony Katz. 1170 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,160 Speaker 3: This is Tony Katz today.

I've seen some. 1183 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:25,280 Speaker 2: Very very focused people who I have always taken it 1184 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:28,760 Speaker 2: that they've looked at the kind of madness of the 1185 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:33,000 Speaker 2: millennial generation, said, I don't need that now, Millennials for 1186 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,800 Speaker 2: all of their complaining and caterwauling, and certainly that's what 1187 01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 2: we get to see the most of. 1188 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 3: In news reports and what have you. 1189 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 2: According to the first reports, they've also done a very 1190 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 2: good job at savings and in financial growth. They've also 1191 01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:48,280 Speaker 2: been less afraid of things like bitcoin other things like that. 1192 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:52,040 Speaker 2: But they've done well there. They just don't do well as. 1193 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 3: People. 1194 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,920 Speaker 2: And maybe that's because the most famous of them are 1195 01:16:58,080 --> 01:16:59,320 Speaker 2: just so terrible. 1196 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,679 Speaker 3: I mean, Alexandria Cassio Cortez. We're done here. 1197 01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:09,200 Speaker 2: I haven't noticed the madness amongst gen Z, or maybe 1198 01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,559 Speaker 2: maybe more to the point, I haven't attributed to gen Z. 1199 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,720 Speaker 3: I just see madness. Did you see there is? 1200 01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:21,080 Speaker 2: There's a video going around of Ariana Grande, who I 1201 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:22,720 Speaker 2: do not know what's going on with her, but she 1202 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 2: doesn't look healthy to me at all, and it's it's 1203 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:30,400 Speaker 2: for the movie Wicked, and it's, uh, the the one 1204 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:34,600 Speaker 2: who plays Glinda, not Glinda Alphaba Cynthia. 1205 01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:39,240 Speaker 3: Is is it Viro everro Vio? I don't know how 1206 01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:40,320 Speaker 3: to pronounce your last name. 1207 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 2: But she's the one who's got all the nails, and 1208 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 2: she seems very, very emotionally fraught. And and in this 1209 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:56,080 Speaker 2: video they're they're doing an interview, right, you know, you 1210 01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:57,799 Speaker 2: do the junk it and you talk about your movies, 1211 01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,160 Speaker 2: and I guess the helicopter is over head, right there outdoors, 1212 01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:06,960 Speaker 2: and literally arrivos, thank you, Cynthia Arrivo puts her hands 1213 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,839 Speaker 2: over her face. She can't take the helicopter, and Ariana 1214 01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,439 Speaker 2: Grande is like doting on her, like this is a 1215 01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 2: serious thing. She's really concerned. Oh look how distressed she is. 1216 01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:22,479 Speaker 2: It's a helicopter. And I'm saying that that is a 1217 01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:27,320 Speaker 2: great example of some crazy emotional weakness. Doesn't matter what 1218 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,360 Speaker 2: you could do on stage, it's a helicopter. You'd be like, man, 1219 01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 2: I wish this thing went away because it's too loud 1220 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 2: or whatever. But dear lord, she's like she's distraught over 1221 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 2: its existence. 1222 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:38,800 Speaker 3: It's very weird. 1223 01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,879 Speaker 2: And that's the kind of stuff I have no interest 1224 01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,080 Speaker 2: in being around. But then again, and she was born 1225 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 2: in eighty seven, so somehow I associate her with millennials, 1226 01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,759 Speaker 2: but I don't think that's what she is in that regard. 1227 01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 2: But it's this idea of just being emotionally incapable. I 1228 01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:59,400 Speaker 2: think that happens in all generations, and so I find 1229 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,960 Speaker 2: that I look at gen Z and my dealings with 1230 01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,840 Speaker 2: them is they've been kind of emotionally okay, they really have. 1231 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:13,519 Speaker 2: But there was this story over zero Hedge about how 1232 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,800 Speaker 2: the gen Z workers aren't interested in putting in the 1233 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,840 Speaker 2: hours and putting in the work, and they're convinced that 1234 01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:25,040 Speaker 2: the work life balance is the non negotiable, right, this 1235 01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,439 Speaker 2: is exactly it. They don't respond to emails after five o'clock, 1236 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:29,240 Speaker 2: they don't believe. 1237 01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:29,719 Speaker 3: In saying late. 1238 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:33,400 Speaker 2: They're not willing to do the work that it takes 1239 01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:38,479 Speaker 2: to grow, but they want all the rewards just to 1240 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 2: this thing about I was saying about a revo. I 1241 01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:43,880 Speaker 2: think that that has just become a truism of a 1242 01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:48,639 Speaker 2: lot of people, that they're not willing to do the work. 1243 01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:52,200 Speaker 2: They're not willing to engage, they're not willing to sweat, 1244 01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,120 Speaker 2: they're not willing to sacrifice, and what. 1245 01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,200 Speaker 3: They expect is things to come to them. 1246 01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:01,080 Speaker 2: I brought this up to my a gen Z kid 1247 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,240 Speaker 2: who said to me that they haven't seen that, right, 1248 01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 2: He hasn't seen that, but rather what has been noticed 1249 01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,400 Speaker 2: and certainly discussed is that there is a real belief 1250 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:20,200 Speaker 2: amongst gen Z that they are moving into a society 1251 01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 2: where they will absolutely not do as well as their parents. 1252 01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:26,280 Speaker 2: It's just fact there is no way to do as well, 1253 01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 2: which one could argue is the reason that people say, well, 1254 01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:33,960 Speaker 2: what about socialism, because capitalism clearly isn't working, when of 1255 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:39,120 Speaker 2: course capitalism works, but the bastardization of capitalism ruins everything, 1256 01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:41,200 Speaker 2: which is so much of what we've seen in the 1257 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 2: United States, never mind around the globe. It's why the 1258 01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:49,760 Speaker 2: lie of socialism is so appealing and continues to engage 1259 01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 2: through the generations. It's this idea that somehow you're being 1260 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,519 Speaker 2: done dirty, you're being done wrong, and it shouldn't have 1261 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 2: to be this tough, and some people have gained the 1262 01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,280 Speaker 2: system against you, and therefore they should have to pay 1263 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,719 Speaker 2: and this versus job to pay, and we should utilize 1264 01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,880 Speaker 2: government as a panacea for providing these better things. And 1265 01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,799 Speaker 2: government is a good as opposed to a necessary evil. 1266 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,639 Speaker 2: Now history shows us it's necessary evil. What they believe 1267 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:18,400 Speaker 2: is that somehow history is written improperly, or history doesn't 1268 01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:23,000 Speaker 2: tell the proper story, that everything could have been better 1269 01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,879 Speaker 2: if just if just more money was spent in education, 1270 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,160 Speaker 2: we'd have better educated students. If just more money was 1271 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:33,000 Speaker 2: spent on public housing, we wouldn't have a housing issue. 1272 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,200 Speaker 2: If just more money was spent here, more money was 1273 01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,360 Speaker 2: spent there, more was done here, more was done there. 1274 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,479 Speaker 2: But they never get into where it comes from. As 1275 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:44,360 Speaker 2: Margaret Thatcher explained, socialism is great until eventually you run 1276 01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:48,920 Speaker 2: out of other people's money. This argument holds true. What 1277 01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,360 Speaker 2: they believe that if we just did this, if we 1278 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:54,760 Speaker 2: just did that, my father arrests his soul. Used to 1279 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:59,320 Speaker 2: say that if you didn't have a Republican in public office, 1280 01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,080 Speaker 2: every offer was held by Democrats. When the Democrat plan 1281 01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:06,439 Speaker 2: or position fails, they will claim it's because of three 1282 01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,360 Speaker 2: Republicans hiding and talking in a basement somewhere. 1283 01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:11,479 Speaker 3: They're the ones keeping us from greatness. 1284 01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 2: Because in the end, this policy, in this push from 1285 01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,559 Speaker 2: the left about if only the right would do more 1286 01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,840 Speaker 2: of this, and only the right would do more of that. 1287 01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:26,080 Speaker 2: That is and otherising that leads to destruction. It's a 1288 01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,720 Speaker 2: boogeyman argument. It is, look at this group that is 1289 01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:33,519 Speaker 2: destroying you. Not hey, here's a different philosophy. Not hey, 1290 01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 2: here are the two philosophies now go look at history, 1291 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,160 Speaker 2: which one is succeeded, in which one has failed, Which 1292 01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,439 Speaker 2: one has created growth, and which one has created a disaster, 1293 01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 2: which one creates individual opportunity, and which one puts you 1294 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:45,440 Speaker 2: in the collective healthscape. 1295 01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 3: The data is very very clear. 1296 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 2: They now say, well, this person is keeping you from happiness, 1297 01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:59,160 Speaker 2: This person is keeping you from being fed or being paid, 1298 01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,360 Speaker 2: and that has to continue, and there always has to 1299 01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,880 Speaker 2: be a boogeyman. This is why when we talk about 1300 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 2: communism in Toto the whole of it, one of the 1301 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,880 Speaker 2: things that we look at and that we see is 1302 01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:22,040 Speaker 2: that the power structure of communism leads to paranoia. Somebody 1303 01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,920 Speaker 2: is always to blame, somebody is always after you, somebody 1304 01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,640 Speaker 2: is always the problem, and someone must always be scapegoaded 1305 01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,320 Speaker 2: in order to show the people who are living in 1306 01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:35,559 Speaker 2: misery that you're really on top of it. There can't 1307 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:40,080 Speaker 2: be an expansion of people and ideas. There has to 1308 01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:47,920 Speaker 2: be a collapse around one supreme leader, and of course dictatorship, authoritarianism. 1309 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,800 Speaker 2: However it is you want to describe it, one all 1310 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 2: powerful oz. See that I tied it into a revo. 1311 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:59,800 Speaker 2: You're welcome everybody. So the whether it's Kim Jong un, 1312 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:06,000 Speaker 2: it's Vladimir Putin, whether it's Jijinping. The communist leader becomes 1313 01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:10,599 Speaker 2: more and more insulated because everybody is a threat to 1314 01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,880 Speaker 2: the power, and everybody must be thought of as a 1315 01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 2: possible threat to the power, because if I just get 1316 01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:19,160 Speaker 2: rid of that person the people, I will get another 1317 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:23,599 Speaker 2: six to seventeen month reprieve from their being angry that there. 1318 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:27,320 Speaker 3: Is no food. You know, it's the. 1319 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,519 Speaker 2: Old line of people in the days of Stalin being 1320 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:34,640 Speaker 2: in the Gulag saying I can't believe I'm here. Stalin's 1321 01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 2: a friend of mine. If he knew, he'd be so angry. 1322 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:39,640 Speaker 2: It was Stalin who put you in the gulog. It 1323 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,240 Speaker 2: was Letting who put you in the gulog. That's always 1324 01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:45,400 Speaker 2: the way. It is always the way it is. You 1325 01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 2: were the thing to be sacrificed so he could get 1326 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,559 Speaker 2: an advantage somewhere else, or you were the thing that 1327 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,480 Speaker 2: was the threat and therefore you need it to be isolated. 1328 01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:01,360 Speaker 2: Gen Z going back to them does not see a 1329 01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:07,200 Speaker 2: future as bright as maybe you did. Whether you're a 1330 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:11,719 Speaker 2: gen X or a baby boomer, maybe you're a millennial, 1331 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:17,520 Speaker 2: they don't see it. They see the future as hard. 1332 01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,920 Speaker 2: They see the housing as non existent, they see the 1333 01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:26,880 Speaker 2: opportunities as less, and I think. 1334 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 3: That we. 1335 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:34,600 Speaker 2: Would be right to note this as opposed to diminishing it. 1336 01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:39,160 Speaker 2: We do not win an argument, and we win ourselves 1337 01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:45,280 Speaker 2: no favors if we say grow up now. Some twenty 1338 01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 2: four year old working at an advertising firm in Los 1339 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,679 Speaker 2: Angeles says, after five. 1340 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:53,799 Speaker 3: Of them, I'm not by my laptop. 1341 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,320 Speaker 2: I'm not by it I don't provide an explanation for 1342 01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:01,240 Speaker 2: it either. That's an actual quote. Yeah, you're not getting hired, right, 1343 01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 2: that's one thing. Oh, I don't work late. Well, sometimes 1344 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,840 Speaker 2: the job requires working late. Well, I don't work late. Well, 1345 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,960 Speaker 2: then you're not the guy for the job. That is different, 1346 01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:14,360 Speaker 2: because that is anecdotal to a specific scenario. Then a 1347 01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:19,400 Speaker 2: recognition of if house builders only buy houses that sell 1348 01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:22,600 Speaker 2: for five hundred and eighty thousand dollars, how does somebody 1349 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,280 Speaker 2: with their first job out of college afford that house? 1350 01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:26,599 Speaker 3: Where do they live? 1351 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 2: How does the first time home buyer starting a family live. Well, 1352 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:34,439 Speaker 2: that does involve moving, which got a very weird response 1353 01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:36,760 Speaker 2: from the political right. I think it was Shapiro who 1354 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:38,800 Speaker 2: brought that up, and some others on the woke right 1355 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,200 Speaker 2: ight like Youacy, This is the problem. You're not catering 1356 01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 2: enough or understanding enough what. I should now have some 1357 01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:47,000 Speaker 2: kind of housing credit so people can live in the 1358 01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:48,000 Speaker 2: middle of Manhattan. 1359 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 3: No, sometimes you can't afford to live in Manhattan. 1360 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,559 Speaker 2: I had this own conversation with my kid the other day. 1361 01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:55,240 Speaker 3: Is New York cool? 1362 01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:55,320 Speaker 13: No? 1363 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,920 Speaker 2: New York was cool. You know, it's still got a 1364 01:26:57,960 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 2: little bit of that romance thing going. 1365 01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 3: It is the place that you should really be looking at. 1366 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,920 Speaker 2: It's too expensive, it's too dangerous, it doesn't provide the value. 1367 01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:07,519 Speaker 3: What don't be in love with. 1368 01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:11,959 Speaker 2: A romanticized photo or romanticized image. But if it's too expensive, 1369 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,800 Speaker 2: you can't afford to live there. They don't owe you 1370 01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:18,400 Speaker 2: anything to reduce the cost. Some places you can't afford 1371 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 2: to live you can't afford right off the bat. The 1372 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,840 Speaker 2: house with five bedrooms and cost seven hundred and eighty 1373 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:28,280 Speaker 2: two thousand dollars. You might need a condo at first. 1374 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 2: And no, it doesn't need to have granite countertops. Get 1375 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:37,080 Speaker 2: over yourself. Those things aren't necessary. But that's a different 1376 01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:40,800 Speaker 2: conversation than if I want to live and pick the 1377 01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:45,439 Speaker 2: suburb in the Midwest and every house is three four 1378 01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 2: or five hundred thousand dollars. 1379 01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:48,880 Speaker 3: How am I supposed to do this? 1380 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 2: If I can afford one hundred and sixty two thousand dollars, 1381 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:55,479 Speaker 2: what is supposed to happen at that moment? And doesn't 1382 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:58,800 Speaker 2: a city, a municipality, a town, a state want. 1383 01:27:58,600 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 3: To have those people in? 1384 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,720 Speaker 2: So you could be building people up and bringing in 1385 01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 2: a younger workforce that grows and then becomes capable of 1386 01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,679 Speaker 2: affording these larger scale things. And isn't that a good 1387 01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:13,799 Speaker 2: kind of movement and value system? So there the argument 1388 01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 2: about some nonsensor gen Z. We can find that in 1389 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:23,720 Speaker 2: every generation the larger scale conversation about call it the 1390 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:27,599 Speaker 2: buzzword of affordability, but rather what is the reality that. 1391 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:30,559 Speaker 3: They're looking at or what is the. 1392 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:35,560 Speaker 2: Vision the landscape that they have been told that exists 1393 01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:39,920 Speaker 2: and anecdotally have seen. How do we recognize that as 1394 01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,680 Speaker 2: well and then help them through it? Do we have 1395 01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:47,599 Speaker 2: a responsibility to I would argue, yes, absolutely we do. 1396 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:50,759 Speaker 3: I think it's absolutely in our best interest. 1397 01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:55,040 Speaker 2: So I have seen gen Z be smarter, I've seen 1398 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,400 Speaker 2: gen Z be more willing to work. I've seen gen 1399 01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:02,040 Speaker 2: Z be more focused to more and more capable, certainly 1400 01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:06,960 Speaker 2: the millennials. That's been my anecdotal experience. But I can 1401 01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 2: point to you Gen xers who are total schmucks. I 1402 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:13,120 Speaker 2: mean Baby Boomers, who are just complete losers. You talk 1403 01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:17,839 Speaker 2: about a nonsense bit of generation. Good God, baby boomers 1404 01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:18,720 Speaker 2: are insulting. 1405 01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:21,479 Speaker 3: I know, I know Baby boomers never like hearing that. 1406 01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:23,400 Speaker 3: But man, there's a lot of issues. 1407 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,080 Speaker 2: We should take a look at gen Z and say, 1408 01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:29,240 Speaker 2: what is it that they're dealing with, and how do 1409 01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:33,160 Speaker 2: we help create something better? What is it that we 1410 01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:37,840 Speaker 2: could be engaging if not on policy that would still 1411 01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:41,560 Speaker 2: stick with capitalism and not any level of government intervention interference, 1412 01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:46,439 Speaker 2: but rather with something attitudinal of yes it's tougher, and 1413 01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,479 Speaker 2: yes you can do this, Yes you can fight through it. 1414 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:52,679 Speaker 2: You gotta think smarter, you gotta think better. And let's 1415 01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 2: start with don't major in gender studies because you're guaranteed 1416 01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:57,599 Speaker 2: not to get a job and no one owes you anything. 1417 01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,960 Speaker 2: If you major in gender studies, you get the nothingness 1418 01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:09,320 Speaker 2: that you most rightly deserve. If you majored in puppetry, 1419 01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:10,840 Speaker 2: there are no jobs for you. 1420 01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:12,760 Speaker 3: But if you became a mechanic. 1421 01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,880 Speaker 2: I know that the CEO of Ford is looking for 1422 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 2: five thousand of those paying one hundred and twenty thousand 1423 01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:24,000 Speaker 2: dollars a year. So just like you might have to 1424 01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,800 Speaker 2: move to find a place to live, you might have 1425 01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:30,320 Speaker 2: to think of a different career. And anybody going into 1426 01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:33,560 Speaker 2: gender studies is wrong. And any parent who's okay with 1427 01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:36,559 Speaker 2: it hates their kid who said that. 1428 01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,280 Speaker 3: That isn't the part of the conversation. 1429 01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:45,559 Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz today. So 1430 01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:47,960 Speaker 2: I believe the term used by the kids on the 1431 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:54,080 Speaker 2: streets and whatnot is based based the idea that a 1432 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:59,200 Speaker 2: thought or response or reaction is totally grounded in reality 1433 01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:04,120 Speaker 2: and an honesty based Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good 1434 01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:05,719 Speaker 2: to be with you. At least that's how I've always 1435 01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:09,000 Speaker 2: taken the terminology. When something is based, it's like you 1436 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,280 Speaker 2: know what here it is laying it out clearly, everybody 1437 01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:12,760 Speaker 2: gets it. 1438 01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:13,799 Speaker 3: These are the facts. 1439 01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:16,720 Speaker 2: This is the truth, and say, yeah, that's exactly what 1440 01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,360 Speaker 2: it is. Boys are not girls and girls are not boys, 1441 01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:23,679 Speaker 2: based right, just the facts. Everything else is some clapshop nonsense. 1442 01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:28,160 Speaker 2: Well that's the response being given to Sophie Cunningham. Sophie 1443 01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:32,360 Speaker 2: Cunningham plays in the WNBA. She plays on the Indiana 1444 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:37,160 Speaker 2: Fever and she plays with Caitlyn Clark, and Cunningham was 1445 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:40,439 Speaker 2: the one who when she joined the team, these players 1446 01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:42,920 Speaker 2: who would say, hey, my job is to beat the livings, 1447 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,960 Speaker 2: not out of Caitlin Clark, because we don't like the 1448 01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:47,559 Speaker 2: fact that the league is getting attention and money now. 1449 01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,960 Speaker 2: We don't like the fact that because Caitlyn Clark showed up, 1450 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,640 Speaker 2: we went from flying commercial to flying private. No, no, no, 1451 01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:54,439 Speaker 2: we don't like that at all. We don't like the 1452 01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 2: fact that WNBA players are now getting a really sponsorship deals, 1453 01:31:59,360 --> 01:31:59,959 Speaker 2: an opportunity. 1454 01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:02,040 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, how no. 1455 01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:05,400 Speaker 2: That's terrible and awful and my gosh, selling out wherever 1456 01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:07,599 Speaker 2: it is we're playing and people are actually watching the game. 1457 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,320 Speaker 3: This is all just awful. We wanted this to. 1458 01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:15,280 Speaker 2: Be the league of either black women or black lesbian women. 1459 01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:19,759 Speaker 3: And that's it. I mean, that's what got said. 1460 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 2: The anger, the vitriol, the hatred, and people who are 1461 01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:26,720 Speaker 2: in the WNBA or father WNBA could yell me all 1462 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:27,200 Speaker 2: they want. 1463 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:32,200 Speaker 3: Still true, and weirdly, you guys may not know this 1464 01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:32,719 Speaker 3: if you're. 1465 01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,360 Speaker 2: Not in where I live in Indianapolis, or of course 1466 01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:38,800 Speaker 2: the INDI nafever are. I've been outrageously supportive of the team, 1467 01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:41,640 Speaker 2: and there were times in the earlier part of my 1468 01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:44,240 Speaker 2: career here they were going to the playoffs and we 1469 01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:46,599 Speaker 2: did events outside the station for them. 1470 01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,800 Speaker 3: I mean, you want what's good for your city. That's 1471 01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:50,800 Speaker 3: always been my take. 1472 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,120 Speaker 2: And if they're going to be playing in the playoffs, 1473 01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:54,559 Speaker 2: why not make a thing of it. 1474 01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,080 Speaker 3: Some rallying cry, Okay, this is cool. I may not 1475 01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:58,960 Speaker 3: have watched the game, but if there's going to be 1476 01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:01,599 Speaker 3: playoff games, it's be a fun night. Let's go watch it. 1477 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:05,639 Speaker 3: Be supportive. It makes perfect sense to me. What doesn't make. 1478 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,120 Speaker 2: Perfect sense are the people who say, well, we should 1479 01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,120 Speaker 2: get paid as much as the men. No, you shouldn't. 1480 01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:12,960 Speaker 2: It's not as good of a product. And you know it, well, 1481 01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:18,160 Speaker 2: what women's basketball is just as physical as men's basketball, 1482 01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:19,000 Speaker 2: just as good. 1483 01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:22,480 Speaker 3: No it's not. It's a different game altogether. 1484 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:26,440 Speaker 2: But all this goes back into the idea that somehow 1485 01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:29,759 Speaker 2: there are women out there who think that a pro 1486 01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:33,599 Speaker 2: women's team could be a pro men's team. We're talking 1487 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 2: about the same level of pro within the leagues. The 1488 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:38,519 Speaker 2: answer is one time out of a billion. And I 1489 01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:43,080 Speaker 2: say that because you know, things happen, but on the main, 1490 01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 2: on the average, the answers, no, they couldn't. Women's soccer 1491 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,720 Speaker 2: team couldnot meant it beat a men's soccer team if 1492 01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:53,479 Speaker 2: we're talking about quote unquote equal level, the best of 1493 01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:55,920 Speaker 2: this division women's versus the best of this division's men's. 1494 01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:58,880 Speaker 2: Same thing is true with baseball, softball, same thing is 1495 01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,040 Speaker 2: true with basketball, same thing is tr truth football, same thing. 1496 01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:02,439 Speaker 3: Is true with track. 1497 01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 2: A myriad of subjects on those type of things, the 1498 01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:11,839 Speaker 2: answer is no, don't be ridiculous. It's not anger that's based, 1499 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:19,320 Speaker 2: which brings us to Sophie Cunningham. Sophie Cunningham was talking 1500 01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:22,879 Speaker 2: about a guy by the name of Michael Porter Junior. 1501 01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,719 Speaker 3: Now I do not know who. 1502 01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,160 Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior is because when it comes to sports. 1503 01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:32,040 Speaker 2: While I pay more attention than ever before, I do 1504 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:36,440 Speaker 2: not get into all of the fake drama that sports 1505 01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:39,840 Speaker 2: needs to produce these days in order to fill the 1506 01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,559 Speaker 2: commntions of all the places that I do things about sports. 1507 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:48,120 Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior plays for the Brooklyn Nets, That's who 1508 01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:48,439 Speaker 2: he is. 1509 01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 3: He was on. 1510 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:57,400 Speaker 2: A podcast and he said that a team of elite 1511 01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:01,720 Speaker 2: eighth grade boys could beat the WNBA All Stars. 1512 01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:07,519 Speaker 14: I mean as respectfully as possible, but ninth grade Lonzo 1513 01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:12,599 Speaker 14: ball in the WNBA, it's quite crazy. In ninth grade, 1514 01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:15,280 Speaker 14: I'm over six feet and I'm dunking like I'm coming 1515 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:18,559 Speaker 14: through the like no girl in the WNBA is doing that. 1516 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:22,519 Speaker 3: I'm going back door throw it up like I'm looking 1517 01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:23,519 Speaker 3: like Jordan out there. 1518 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:26,920 Speaker 15: I'm gonna go probably eighty grade because look, but I 1519 01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:29,799 Speaker 15: have real experience doing this because I played my sisters 1520 01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:31,960 Speaker 15: went to University of Missouri, and I would tell a 1521 01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:33,519 Speaker 15: young dude and they had me playing like on the 1522 01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:36,240 Speaker 15: scout team, and they had a few WNBA players on 1523 01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:39,280 Speaker 15: the team, like Sophie Cunningham and a couple others, and 1524 01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:41,280 Speaker 15: I think I was, like in the seventh or eighth grade, 1525 01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:42,080 Speaker 15: going dumb. 1526 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:48,120 Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham was asked about this these comments there from 1527 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:52,719 Speaker 2: Michael Porter, and she said, I mean, it's probably true 1528 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:54,760 Speaker 2: because it is. 1529 01:35:55,800 --> 01:36:00,400 Speaker 3: It's a fact, no anger or anything else. It is 1530 01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:00,960 Speaker 3: a fact. 1531 01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:03,560 Speaker 2: She goes on to say, I think if you're a 1532 01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:07,160 Speaker 2: professional athlete, if you're in that elite level group, yeah, 1533 01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:08,840 Speaker 2: you should be able to beat the girls. I'm not 1534 01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:11,640 Speaker 2: surprised by that. I don't get why it's continuing to 1535 01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,559 Speaker 2: get brought up. If women are saying, yeah, he couldn't 1536 01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:18,200 Speaker 2: beat us, Yes he could any NBA star or player 1537 01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:21,680 Speaker 2: that can beat a female in high school. The context 1538 01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:27,880 Speaker 2: of it is fair, yes, accurate. Why is it continually 1539 01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:32,000 Speaker 2: brought up. Well, if your whole world is predicated on 1540 01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:37,479 Speaker 2: some feminism nonsense. I didn't say, predicated on the idea 1541 01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:40,320 Speaker 2: that you should be treated fairly, predicated on the idea 1542 01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 2: that you should be treated respectfully. But this pseudo intellectualism 1543 01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 2: of feminism that dictates that men are bad, men are 1544 01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 2: always bad, women are somehow superior, which is a lot 1545 01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 2: of what feminism tries to inculcate. Well, that's ridiculous because 1546 01:36:54,960 --> 01:37:00,280 Speaker 2: it creates a false reality. And somehow it is by 1547 01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:03,960 Speaker 2: the feminist point of view of scene to say that 1548 01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:04,599 Speaker 2: a man. 1549 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:07,120 Speaker 3: Or a men's team would be a women's team no 1550 01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:07,600 Speaker 3: matter what. 1551 01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:11,280 Speaker 2: There are women who have walked out of events when 1552 01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,640 Speaker 2: there'll be someone speaking a woman in the case that 1553 01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:17,759 Speaker 2: I'm thinking of, men are naturally taller and stronger than women, 1554 01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:19,720 Speaker 2: and they're like, Nope, we're not gonna put up with this, 1555 01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:22,800 Speaker 2: We're going to walk out. We won't listen to reality. 1556 01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:24,920 Speaker 2: That is what based. 1557 01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,120 Speaker 3: I appreciate Sophie Cunningham and her comments here. 1558 01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:34,799 Speaker 2: I appreciate her saying, yeah, why are we still talking 1559 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:38,240 Speaker 2: about this? Why are we still talking about this? Why 1560 01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:41,600 Speaker 2: aren't we more talking about what the WNBA has to 1561 01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:44,479 Speaker 2: do to get into more homes and to bring in 1562 01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:48,200 Speaker 2: more dollars, to be more exciting, And maybe it should 1563 01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:54,400 Speaker 2: involve not hating Caitlin Clark, not hating Sophie Cunningham, raise 1564 01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:58,000 Speaker 2: the game and shut off the old skin. I didn't 1565 01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:01,920 Speaker 2: say forget where you came from, but this idea that 1566 01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:04,600 Speaker 2: you have to be this cloistered league as opposed to 1567 01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,360 Speaker 2: this exciting league, the idea that you have to do 1568 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,519 Speaker 2: it the way you always did it, as opposed to 1569 01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:13,000 Speaker 2: something that can actually be more wait for the word inclusive, 1570 01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:16,519 Speaker 2: and bring more players into the fold, more fans into 1571 01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:19,960 Speaker 2: the fold, more opportunity for everybody into the fold. 1572 01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:25,240 Speaker 3: That's what you should want. Now. 1573 01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:29,679 Speaker 2: As for Marjorie Taylor Green and the resignation heard around 1574 01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:36,000 Speaker 2: the world, is I've discussed there are reasons for this resignation. 1575 01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:40,920 Speaker 2: If you didn't know the story, Marjorie Taylor Green resigned 1576 01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 2: over the weekend from the House of representatives. I want 1577 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:48,640 Speaker 2: to make sure I'm clear. She didn't resign. She announced 1578 01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:55,280 Speaker 2: her resignation, and her resignation is coming on January fifth, 1579 01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:58,760 Speaker 2: And you say to me, hey, that's weird. Why in 1580 01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 2: the world is it January five fifth? Because January fifth 1581 01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:05,800 Speaker 2: would be two days after January third, and January third 1582 01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,360 Speaker 2: is when the House has sworn into office, and that 1583 01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:12,519 Speaker 2: would make it five years that she has been in office. 1584 01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:14,000 Speaker 2: And I always thought it was four years, and some 1585 01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 2: people said it was five years. Five years serving in Congress. 1586 01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:21,440 Speaker 2: That's when you get a full lifetime pension. 1587 01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,240 Speaker 3: TUTA. 1588 01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,840 Speaker 2: So maybe it was always the plan, maybe it wasn't. 1589 01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:32,080 Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure what the story here is. 1590 01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:33,240 Speaker 3: But the. 1591 01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:40,479 Speaker 2: Anger and vitriol here of Marjorie Taylor Green and her 1592 01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:41,439 Speaker 2: response to. 1593 01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:45,000 Speaker 3: Why it is, or her announcement as to why she 1594 01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:46,080 Speaker 3: is retiring. 1595 01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:51,160 Speaker 2: Which was this nine minute plus kind of inarticulable screed. 1596 01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:54,000 Speaker 3: It really was. It was. 1597 01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:59,080 Speaker 2: Like, I'm not gonna sit here and be a battered 1598 01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:05,200 Speaker 2: That was a batter housewife, right, and she's going after Trump. 1599 01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:09,360 Speaker 6: Standing up for American women who were raped at fourteen 1600 01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:13,240 Speaker 6: years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men, should 1601 01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:16,879 Speaker 6: not result in me being called a trader and threatened 1602 01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:20,080 Speaker 6: by the President of the United States, whom I fought for. 1603 01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:23,479 Speaker 6: I have too much self respect and dignity. I love 1604 01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:26,479 Speaker 6: my family way too much, and I do not want 1605 01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:29,800 Speaker 6: my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and 1606 01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:33,360 Speaker 6: hateful primary against me by the president that we all 1607 01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:37,080 Speaker 6: fought for only to fight and win my election, while 1608 01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:41,120 Speaker 6: Republicans will likely lose the midterms and in turn be 1609 01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:45,640 Speaker 6: expected to defend the president against impeachment after he hatefully 1610 01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:49,000 Speaker 6: dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried 1611 01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:49,760 Speaker 6: to destroy me. 1612 01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:56,720 Speaker 2: Admittedly, that's a that's a pretty compelling argument. Why in 1613 01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:58,439 Speaker 2: the world should I keep running? And then I'm going 1614 01:40:58,479 --> 01:40:59,519 Speaker 2: to be told to be dutiful? 1615 01:40:59,560 --> 01:40:59,720 Speaker 5: Right? 1616 01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:02,400 Speaker 2: The battered Housewife is how she brought it up in 1617 01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:03,960 Speaker 2: being supportive of him. 1618 01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:08,200 Speaker 3: When Trump was asked about Marjorie Taylor Green, a willing 1619 01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:11,000 Speaker 3: Are you willing to forget commerce for my favorite Greens? 1620 01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:15,200 Speaker 3: Both forgetful us?

She started backing perhaps the worst Republican congresson 1622 01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:27,760 Speaker 3: in our history. You know, stupid person became bastly, and 1623 01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:30,519 Speaker 3: I think, go your own way. 1624 01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:33,400 Speaker 9: And once I left her, she resigned because she would 1625 01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:35,840 Speaker 9: have he would never have divided the primary. 1626 01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:37,639 Speaker 3: But I think she's a nice person. 1627 01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:43,320 Speaker 2: She's hanging out with the stupid guy, Thomas Massey. She 1628 01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:46,360 Speaker 2: couldn't win without me, But I think she's a nice person. 1629 01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:52,960 Speaker 2: He never stops being him for a second. Let's talk 1630 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:56,679 Speaker 2: about what is based. It's not that Marjorie Taylor Green 1631 01:41:56,880 --> 01:41:59,160 Speaker 2: is wrong about what she said about what's going to 1632 01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:03,519 Speaker 2: be expected of her. And of course, if Democrats win 1633 01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:06,880 Speaker 2: the midterms to which she is seating that point, which 1634 01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:10,800 Speaker 2: I think is pretty ugly. If the House of Representatives 1635 01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:14,200 Speaker 2: is sworn in on January third, Donald Trump will be 1636 01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:15,639 Speaker 2: impeached on January third. 1637 01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:19,599 Speaker 3: There is no debate here. We don't have to question 1638 01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:23,520 Speaker 3: that that's coming. What we have to question. 1639 01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:28,799 Speaker 2: Is why did you think that you and President Trump 1640 01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:34,439 Speaker 2: were going to have a perfect relationship all throughout? If 1641 01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:38,800 Speaker 2: you disagreed with him, you have to understand the guy, 1642 01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:43,280 Speaker 2: that's all. You have to understand the style and the methodology. 1643 01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:48,479 Speaker 2: You have to understand the person. Trump's entire style is 1644 01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,000 Speaker 2: we're friends while we're friends, and we're enemies while we're 1645 01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:53,439 Speaker 2: enemies and then we could be friends again. That whole 1646 01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:56,720 Speaker 2: meeting with zar on Mom Donnie is so freaking ridiculous. 1647 01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,120 Speaker 3: And for the record, does anybody think. 1648 01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:01,840 Speaker 2: Said Trump and Mom Donnie or somehow going to be 1649 01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:04,240 Speaker 2: friends because they had a little bit of a laugh 1650 01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:10,200 Speaker 2: in the oval. Stop it, Stop kidding yourself, Stop everything. 1651 01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:13,320 Speaker 2: I'm assuming that meeting was far more upsetting to the 1652 01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:15,960 Speaker 2: political left than it ever was to the political right, 1653 01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:19,160 Speaker 2: because they were like, how dare you humanize Donald Trump? 1654 01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:21,160 Speaker 2: Why didn't you scream at him? Oh, you should have 1655 01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:21,559 Speaker 2: just hit. 1656 01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:22,080 Speaker 3: Him right there. 1657 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:26,400 Speaker 2: I know somebody who was asked to be on stage 1658 01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:29,679 Speaker 2: at an event Trump was at and did a quick 1659 01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,360 Speaker 2: speak at the event. I'm not gonna name names, and 1660 01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:34,200 Speaker 2: then Trump was there to give the guy a hug, 1661 01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:35,320 Speaker 2: and people. 1662 01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:36,639 Speaker 3: Were like, you should have punched him in the face. 1663 01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:37,639 Speaker 3: You should have. 1664 01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:42,160 Speaker 2: Done What what kind of crazy person would think this. 1665 01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:44,599 Speaker 3: There's the President of the United States wanting to give 1666 01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:44,960 Speaker 3: you a hug. 1667 01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:46,840 Speaker 2: You give him a hug. Now, maybe you could just 1668 01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:48,920 Speaker 2: put your hand out and shake his hand. If Barack 1669 01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:51,599 Speaker 2: Obama wants to give me a hug, God, shake his hand. 1670 01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:55,599 Speaker 2: Oh I don't agree with him about anything. Punch him 1671 01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:59,520 Speaker 2: in the face is the craziest thing in the world. 1672 01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:02,320 Speaker 2: But I think that's what the left really expected of 1673 01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:04,320 Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, and I think he's going to suffer a 1674 01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:06,600 Speaker 2: little bit for it. But no one thinks they're going 1675 01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:10,720 Speaker 2: to be buddies. Marjorie Taylor Green didn't understand that if 1676 01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,320 Speaker 2: she might disagree with Donald Trump, that he's going to. 1677 01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,000 Speaker 3: Lash out. What do we what are we new to 1678 01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:18,519 Speaker 3: this game? 1679 01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:23,040 Speaker 2: I think that listening to Marjorie Taylor Green complain in 1680 01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:26,479 Speaker 2: this nine plus minute video was just that one or 1681 01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:30,000 Speaker 2: two moments of Okay, that's interesting, but mostly a bunch 1682 01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:33,920 Speaker 2: of moments of I did this to myself because she did. 1683 01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:40,120 Speaker 2: I don't mind her walking away. I don't mind her resigning. 1684 01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:43,800 Speaker 2: Do you think I'm bothered by losing Jewish space laser girl? 1685 01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:49,120 Speaker 2: As I said about her from the beginning, she ain't 1686 01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:51,680 Speaker 2: on my side. I might get some boats out of her, 1687 01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:53,240 Speaker 2: I like, but that's it. 1688 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:57,920 Speaker 3: That's it. Does she have one or two points? Absolutely? 1689 01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:01,320 Speaker 3: She has one or two points? Am I going to 1690 01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,400 Speaker 3: miss or no? Should we elect better? Yes? 1691 01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:08,680 Speaker 2: And should we elect people who are more interested in 1692 01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:12,759 Speaker 2: not just party, but in country and in a value system? 1693 01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:17,680 Speaker 2: Than engaging in the level of idology of people. Absolutely, 1694 01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:20,000 Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz. 1695 01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:21,920 Speaker 3: Today. We had a very good day today. 1696 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:24,439 Speaker 4: I think we made a tremendous amount of progress, even 1697 01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:25,840 Speaker 4: from the last time I spoke to you, and I 1698 01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:28,080 Speaker 4: apologize and for keeping you waiting with those more work 1699 01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 4: to be done. We began almost three weeks ago with 1700 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:34,519 Speaker 4: a foundational document that we socialized and ran by both 1701 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,080 Speaker 4: sides and with input from both sides. And one of 1702 01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:38,800 Speaker 4: the things that happens when you've been involved in this 1703 01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:41,000 Speaker 4: now for ten months is you get a pretty good 1704 01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:43,800 Speaker 4: sense of what the priorities and the red lines and 1705 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:47,000 Speaker 4: the important issues are for both sides, and so that 1706 01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:50,080 Speaker 4: allowed us to create a foundational document, which has been 1707 01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:53,160 Speaker 4: an ongoing working document. In fact, over the last ninety 1708 01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:56,000 Speaker 4: six hours or more, there's been extensive engagement with the 1709 01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:59,000 Speaker 4: Ukrainian side, including our Secretary of the Army and others 1710 01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:02,040 Speaker 4: being on the ground and Kiev meeting with relevant stakeholders 1711 01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:06,760 Speaker 4: across the Ukrainian political spectrum in the legislative branch and 1712 01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:09,759 Speaker 4: the executive branch and the military and others. 1713 01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:11,280 Speaker 3: Does that mean you're going. 1714 01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:13,519 Speaker 2: To accept get them to accept the idea of giving 1715 01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:15,840 Speaker 2: up way more land that the Russians have control of. 1716 01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:19,799 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the question, Secretary Rubio. Are they going 1717 01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:25,240 Speaker 2: to give up even more? And what's the real peace guarantee? 1718 01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,559 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony kats today, good to be with you. 1719 01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:31,439 Speaker 2: That's Secretary of Saint Mark Rubia, this peace deal with 1720 01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:34,920 Speaker 2: the Russians in Ukraine, these negotiations that have been going 1721 01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:38,880 Speaker 2: on in Geneva.
