No weight, it's day three 5 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: or day four or day nine hundred and six. 6 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. He's fine.

There's no panic that can come 12 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 3: from it. 13 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: There's no anything else we should be doing except saying. 14 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, this is the way it is. 15 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: There's a shutdown, and we're all going to survive it, 16 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: all of us, all at once. It's just that easy, 17 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: Tony Kats Tony Katz today, Good to be with you. 18 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: I wish there was more of a kind of oh 19 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: my gosh, here's how important it is. 20 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, it's not. 21 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: This is one shutdown, and that's going to then lead 22 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: to us having this conversation on November twenty first. November 23 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: twenty first, this all comes back, all of this just 24 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: a little bit of history repeating Now you're right, in 25 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: the chat room. The shutdown may not be much for us, 26 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: but for Chuck Schumer this could end his career. 27 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: That is true, That is very very true. 28 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: It is bad news for Chuck Schumer because he misread 29 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: all about it. 30 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: I know that if I go and look at News Nation. 31 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: Right there, for example, they will show me this headline. 32 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 2: My gosh, what a headline. Trump administration could lay off 33 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: thousands during shutdown. Oh wait, that's a good thing. Oh, 34 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: I'm down with that. What are you talking about? Laying 35 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: off thousands? And they'll stay laid off, right, that'll be 36 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: the story. They'll lose their jobs, we'll never have to 37 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 2: bring them back, or or if we have to bring 38 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: some people back, we get to bring back our people. 39 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 3: And of course the conversation. 40 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: That here you have this happening and Democrats refuse to 41 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: realize that they're the ones who are going to be 42 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: out of the jobs. 43 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,559 Speaker 3: You know, it's that line. 44 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: From Ram Emmanuel that got quoted many times during the 45 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 2: Obama years, never let a crisis go to waste, You 46 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: remember that line. People were outraged by that line. How disgusting, 47 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: how despicable, how craven. But everyone always forgets what came next, 48 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: Ram Emmanuel said, never let a crisis go to waste, 49 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: because it allows you to do things you otherwise could 50 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: not do. The point that I make there is that 51 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: Ram Emmanuel was not interested in beating around the butches. 52 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: He was not playing around the ashes edges. 53 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: He said to you, everything is an opportunity to screw 54 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: the other guy. And I'm going to screw that dude 55 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: with his pants on. I'm going to screw that Yeah, 56 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: dude so bad, you're gonna think my name is Ron Jeremy. 57 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: It's gonna get rough up in here. 58 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: That's what rom Emanuel said. Oh, I'm sorry if it's crude, 59 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: but it's factual. 60 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: This was made clear by Harry Reid, the late senator 61 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: from Nevada, who deserves none of your respect, and the 62 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: fact that an airport was named after him is despicable. 63 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: They should immediately remove his name from the airport. This 64 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 2: was a craven, despicable political guy, nasty, ugly, and I 65 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: state to you that this is the guy who said 66 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: of Mitt Romney when he was running for president. 67 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: You know that Mitt Romney he didn't even pay his 68 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 3: taxes And people said, I'm sorry, what what are you 69 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: talking about? Senator Reid, can you explain you're saying. 70 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 2: That Mitt Romney didn't pay his tax? What are you 71 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 2: referring to? And Harry Reid said, don't ask me, ask 72 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: Mitt Romney. And years later Harry read older and Frail said, Yeah, 73 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: that probably wasn't the nicest thing to do, but we won, 74 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: didn't we Some lessons are very very hard to forget, 75 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: the level of hatred, the level of vitriol, the level 76 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: of disgust, the uninterested that they are in being people 77 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: who actually support America or the American way of life. No, destroy, destroy, destroy, 78 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: Never let a crisis go to waste, because it allows 79 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: you to do things you otherwise could not do. And 80 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: we one didn't. We is saying, when there is no crisis, 81 00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: create one. You think I'm going to cry because some 82 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: people are going to lose their jobs, I don't care. 83 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: And I don't care because see this is the part 84 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: they'll always cut out. Maybe we don't need all those 85 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 2: jobs to begin with. And no one is guaranteed a job. 86 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 2: When I lose my job on radio, the total amount 87 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: of people in governments who are going to cry is zero. 88 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: There's a progressive that's going to cry, Oh my gosh, 89 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: this radio host lost his job. Man, I heard that 90 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: Tony Katz lost his job. Oh gosh, that is rough. 91 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 3: I really feel for him and his family. 92 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: You think that the Harry Reid, Rob Emanuel set is 93 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: going to cry for my family show concern about how 94 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: my kids get through college anytime, ever, anywhere, Do not 95 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: ask me to do the same, especially when we're talking 96 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 2: about government. The reason I state that I do not 97 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: care is that if we reduce the size of government, 98 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: we are better off. And maybe it's crude and wrong 99 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: and rude to say I don't care, but these guys 100 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: wanted to use any crisis they could to destroy your 101 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: life and take power for themselves. And they were willing 102 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: to lie in the well of the Senate in order 103 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: to win elections. I don't think that you should get hurt. 104 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: I don't think that your family should go hungry. I 105 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: hope those things don't happen. But worry about your government 106 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: job and somehow believe that it is sacrifanct and above 107 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: reproach that you can't cancel these jobs. You can't cut 108 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: these jobs. You can't cut. 109 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: From here, you can't reduce from there. 110 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: Somehow, that's all above the fray. They will not cry 111 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: for me. Oh, and trucker, they will not cry for you. 112 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: Police officer, there will be no tears. Nurse, you already 113 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: know what they'll do to you if you don't take 114 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: a vaccine. No, no, I will not do not ask 115 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: me to somehow be more kind. We're not talking about 116 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: anything other than people who believe that they are owed 117 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: something not doing that. Oh, don't get me wrong. When 118 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: you lose your job, it stinks. I spoke to someone 119 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: last night who got laid off. They knew it was coming, 120 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 2: They knew it was coming, and they thought they would 121 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 2: have something new by now, and they don't, and they're frustrated. 122 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 2: And yeah, that's an ugly feeling. You have a family, 123 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: and you there's a. 124 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: Sense of purpose with a job one hundred percent. I want. 125 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: I hope he finds it. I hope it works out. 126 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: You know what he didn't say to me. You know 127 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: I'm owed a job. You know they have to revive 128 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: for me. You know, these people aren't allowed to cut 129 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: my job. My job's the most important thing in the world. 130 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: It's somehow government workers always believe this, and Democrats always 131 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: try to push this. 132 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 3: So when I see that thousands may be laid off. 133 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 2: Okay, don't ask me to care about that, ask me 134 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 2: to care about whether or not the job was necessary 135 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: to begin with, because you are not engaged in a 136 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: conversation of well, everybody needs a job. We're talking about 137 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: what it takes to run the United States governments, and 138 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: not all these jobs are necessary. And since it is 139 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: indeed our dollars, we have a say in it, and 140 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: government is not supposed to be a job's program. So 141 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 2: what you're telling me people upset with this idea of 142 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: layoffs is somehow we owe these people these jobs. 143 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: We have to have these jobs. 144 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: We always have to have these jobs, and we can 145 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: never lessen the amount of jobs that we have. 146 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: No thanks, no thanks. 147 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: What we should do is make it easier for the 148 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 2: private sector to hire and let these people actually see 149 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: what it is to have to show results at the 150 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: end of the day. Can't wait to see that. 151 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 3: And just like I refuse to. 152 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: Engage some level of crocodile tier for the people who 153 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: will lose their gigs in a shutdown, because I believe 154 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: that the loss of the gig should be permanent in 155 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: many of these cases, and the savings should be passed 156 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: on to us. I am not going to shed a 157 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: tear for a shutdown that never had to be. Chuck 158 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 2: Schumer did this because Chuck Schumer wanted to show how 159 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: tough he was to progressives so he could win a 160 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: primary against Representative of Ocssio Cortes for Senate. Now, let's 161 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: say you don't believe that. Let's say you think that's 162 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: just the right one talking point, and you don't believe 163 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: that at all. You're more than welcome not to believe 164 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 2: that at all. You go right ahead and don't believe 165 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: that at all. Give me another reason, Well, Tony, he's 166 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: trying to save Obamacare. No, no, that's not until the 167 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: end of December when we talk about Obamacare and the subsidies. 168 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: And we've already stated and I will get into this 169 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: as clear as day. Trump's going to extend the subsidies 170 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: because he gets to say, look what I did for people. 171 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: Trump's going to steal it from the Democrats. 172 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: There was no point in this. All avoidable. 173 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 2: This is something that was wanted in a belief that 174 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 2: in a shutdown, the political left will always be victorious. 175 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 2: You've got you've got the media on your side, and 176 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 2: you've got culture on your side and everything else, and 177 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, look we're we're gonna paint Republicans this 178 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: and paint Republicans that, and paint Republicans the other. 179 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 3: And none of it worked. None of it worked zero. 180 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: And we should be clear that these cuts that are 181 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: about to come. 182 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 3: All Schumer. 183 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 4: Everybody needs to understand how this works. When Congress decides 184 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 4: to turn off the lights to shut the government down, 185 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: it shifts the authority to the executive brands. That's how 186 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 4: the process works. The person who has decided to put 187 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 4: the White House in that situation is Chuck Schumer, who 188 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: leads the Democrats the forty four who keep voting to 189 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 4: keep the government from opening up. They're voting to shut 190 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 4: it down. So what happens in that situation, whoever is 191 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: the president, whoever is sitting in the White House, and 192 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 4: their staffs at the Office of Management and Budget are 193 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 4: given an unenviable task. 194 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: It's a regretful situation. 195 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 4: They have to then determine since the spickets have been 196 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 4: effectively turned off and there's no more money coming in, 197 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 4: they have to then prioritize triage effectively federal spending. They 198 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 4: have to look at all of that and say you 199 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 4: know which things are deemed essential and which are non essential, 200 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 4: which priorities, policies, and personnel must be kept to keep 201 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 4: the government operating, and which are less of a priority. 202 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 4: So whomever is sitting in the White House gets to 203 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 4: then apply their lenses of review. 204 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: Now what's interesting here is that first they will tell 205 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 2: you that they're fighting for people, and then they'll tell 206 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: you that the people can never lose their job. Healthcare 207 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 2: has to be provided ten thousand percent by government, and 208 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: jobs have to be provided ten thousand percent by government 209 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: at every moment. Their answer is more. Their answer is growing, 210 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: Their answer is more services. Their answer is more governments 211 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: at every moment, every single moment, the same position applause. 212 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,599 Speaker 3: So they must. 213 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: Believe that not only can they win on this idea 214 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: of the Obamacare subsidies, Trump's gonna start cutting. Russ RUSS 215 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: vote over that the Opfice Management budget's gonna start cutting, 216 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 2: and they think they're gonna win again. They think that 217 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 2: the American people are gonna be upset with the job cuts. 218 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: They're unnecessary jobs, and we're the ones paying for them. 219 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: If the Trump administration because of this shutdown, because Chuck 220 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: Schumer miscalculated, which he does a lot. If they start 221 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: cutting parts of the government workforce, you know what voters 222 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: are gonna. 223 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 3: Say, this is what I voted for, reducing the size 224 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: of government. 225 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: This is like DOGE two point zero, which we should 226 00:14:59,520 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: still be do. 227 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: This is good. What about our lives? You keep telling 228 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 3: me about these people who work for government? What about me? 229 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: Who pays for the people who work for government? Do 230 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: we really need all those people? I make sacrifices in 231 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: my life, for my family, for my family's budget. There 232 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 2: are things I do without. There are things I do 233 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: with less of, even though I don't want to. What 234 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: about them? And they always say, how dare you? 235 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: Like? They're Greta Tunberg? They just don't have the frog hats? 236 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: Did she get down off the boat as she was 237 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: heading to uh Gaza because she supports terrorists? Because well 238 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: she's an abused child. 239 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: I mean, to. 240 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: Support terrorism is just to show how mentally deficient you are. 241 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: People sacrifice every day and somehow governments shouldn't. 242 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: Government is sakra sank. 243 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: These jobs must remain Nah No, The shutdown is on Schumer. 244 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: The job loss is on Schumer. And that's that we 245 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: are in day three.

Let's talk about the 261 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 3: drug smugglers right there. It is a really interesting question 262 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 3: that is being asked where you have Republicans and Democrats 263 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 3: who want answers for how it is we're dealing with 264 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 3: these drug smuggling boats from. 265 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 2: Venezuela, because the President said something different when you talk 266 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: about hitting one of these drugs smuggling boats, and you 267 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: had Senator Rand Paul up in arms about this. 268 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 3: I do not believe that. 269 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: We didn't have the data, the intel to know that 270 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: they were trying to bring fentylin from Venezuela. 271 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 3: Right. 272 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: I believe that to be tue. And then we hit 273 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: another one. It's like, Okay, we've done this twice. Well, 274 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 2: now we've done this again. But what the President has 275 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: stated is that we are in a non international armed conflict. 276 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 2: You put this out there, that this is the story, 277 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: and once you engage that way. The Administration referred to 278 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 2: the Cartels as designated terrorist organizations and that the Administration 279 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: is quote determined that their actions constituted an armed attack 280 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: against the United States. Congress absolutely can ask the question, 281 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 2: did we just declare war on Venezuela, Because we're the 282 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 2: ones who have the power to declare war. 283 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: We haven't done that. 284 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 2: The President is changing what it is that we're dealing with. 285 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 2: That you would agree that Venezuela as an ARCO terrorist 286 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 2: organization is fine by me. I accept this, But if 287 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: you're going to talk about a sustained military action that 288 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 2: they would ask. Okay, we've gotten this briefing from you. 289 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: Now we've got other questions, because it seems to me 290 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: like you're saying that we're engaged in a war and 291 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: if so Congress declares war, we have a role to 292 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: play constitutionally. 293 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 3: And you can and keep us from it. That's a 294 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 3: legitimate argument. 295 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: It is I think an illegitimate argument to say that 296 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 2: the United States can do nothing until these drug boats 297 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: get to us soil. I think that's a sortifiable argument. 298 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 2: This is interesting. We're gonna keep our eyes on this. Meanwhile, 299 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 2: in Iowa, DEI once again does exactly what. 300 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 3: It always does. Keep it here. 301 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 2: This is Tony Kats today. Amongst the greatest speeches Donald 302 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: Trump has ever given. 303 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 3: Was the speech given to the UN in his first term. 304 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 2: The very best because because I'll say clearly, I don't 305 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 2: think Trump gives a great speech. His his whole uh 306 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: you know, stream of consciousness kind of way of doing things. 307 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 3: It it doesn't lend itself to great oratory. 308 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 2: That he is very good at connecting does not necessarily 309 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: mean he has great oratory. 310 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 3: He doesn't. Barack Obama, I'm told he had great oratory. 311 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: But that's that didn't move me at all. Tony Katz, 312 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: Tony Katz. Today, this was Trump. This was twenty seventeen, 313 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 2: September nineteenth, twenty seventeen, his speech to the UN General Assembly, 314 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: which I consider still the best speech of his career. 315 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: It would have been the speech he gave at the 316 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 2: RNC accepting the nomination for the third time. That would 317 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: have been it, but I think he went too long. 318 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: He kind of lost the plot. It was so on 319 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: point for so much of it that if he just said, 320 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: like foll Costanza, I'm out and walked off the stage, 321 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 2: we'd still be talking about it today. 322 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 3: But this was the speech. Listen. 323 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 5: The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been 324 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 5: poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented. From 325 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 5: the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela. Wherever true socialism 326 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 5: or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and 327 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 5: devastation and failure. 328 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I. 329 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 2: Don't know how people I keep I've got the clip, 330 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: I keep it at the ready at all times. 331 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: It is so true, it is so good. This line 332 00:21:58,840 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 3: right here. 333 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 5: Is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that 334 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 5: socialism has been faithfully implemented. 335 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 2: First of all, that is perfect. And the laughter that 336 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 2: Trump is so aware of an audience that he waited 337 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 2: for that to develop, that nervous laughter, that begrudging applause. 338 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 3: The un couldn't believe he said the words. That speech. 339 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, that is it. That was the zenith 340 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 3: of Holy cow. This guy is different. I mean we 341 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 3: already know him to be different.

Logan in the chat room, the teleproperty going 346 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 3: rogue was this last time around just a couple of 347 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 3: maybe a week ago. 348 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: Now that's the problem that if any time you have 349 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: socialism implemented, it's not going to work. And there is 350 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: no improperly. Oh you see, they didn't do it right. 351 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: You talk to a commie today on a college campus, 352 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 2: they'll all tell you that the other guy did it wrong. 353 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 2: See Stalin and Lenin, and now they did it wrong, 354 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: will do it right. You see the problem is communism 355 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: has never been implemented. 356 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 3: You know, true. 357 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: Communism has never been tried. The lie continues to emboldened 358 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: people who want to believe the lie. No one believes 359 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: the con more than the mark. These are really terrible 360 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: people who are broken and lost. Socialism was implemented faithfully, 361 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: and that's why Venezuela they eat pigeons. The same can 362 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 2: be said for DEI. Any Time DEI is implemented, the 363 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: result will lead to absolute disaster for everybody who has 364 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 2: to deal with it. Did DEI bring diversity, equity and inclusion, No, 365 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 2: it did not. 366 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 3: It divided people. 367 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 2: And it never allowed for diversity of thoughts, never once, 368 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 2: never ever, and it allowed people who had no business 369 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 2: rising up the ranks to do exactly that. That brings 370 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 2: us to the superintendent of the Des Moines Public Schools, 371 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 2: this guy named Ian Roberts. The story of Ian Roberts 372 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 2: is that he came to the country illegally from Guyana. 373 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 3: And he lost the ability to stay in the United 374 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 3: States and was scheduled for removal in May of twenty 375 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 3: twenty four. 376 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 2: That was during the Biden administration.

They said, we didn't hire the best person. 389 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 3: We hired the person who checked the box. Check. 390 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 2: We don't check backgrounds, we check boxes. We are liberals. 391 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 3: Don't get angry with me. Don't call me any names. 392 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 2: You want to call me a racist, you you can 393 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 2: call me anything you like, But I'm right. 394 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 3: They didn't hire to merit. They hired to color match. 395 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 2: They they hired a superintendent in the same way you 396 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 2: go to Sherwin Williams with your color swatch.

I think he 406 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 2: ever voted in an election in Iowa. One has to 407 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 2: assume he voted an election in Iowa. I wait for 408 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 2: more information to come out, But how about the part 409 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 2: two of this story that you knew was gonna happen. 410 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 3: Guys, you didn't need me to tell you.
